Multiplex polymerase chain reaction: A practical approach Tập 16 Số 1 - Trang 47-51 - 2002
Panayotis Markoulatos, Nikolaos Siafakas, Maurice L.J. Moncany
AbstractConsiderable time and effort can be saved by simultaneously amplifying
multiple sequences in a single reaction, a process referred to as multiplex
polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Multiplex PCR requires that primers lead to
amplification of unique regions of DNA, both in individual pairs and in
combinations of many primers, under a single set of reaction conditions. In
addition, methods mu... hiện toàn bộ
Checklist for optimization and validation of real‐time PCR assays Tập 23 Số 3 - Trang 145-151 - 2009
Marijke Raymaekers, Rita Smets, Brigitte Maes, Reinoud Cartuyvels
AbstractReal‐time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a frequently used technique
in molecular diagnostics. To date, practical guidelines for the complete process
of optimization and validation of commercial and in‐house developed molecular
diagnostic methods are scare. Therefore, we propose a practical guiding
principle for the optimization and validation of real‐time PCR assays. Based on

What are the cut‐off levels for IL‐6 and CRP in neonatal sepsis? Tập 24 Số 6 - Trang 407-412 - 2010

AbstractNeonatal sepsis, characterized by systemic signs of infection in the
first month of life, remains an important clinical syndrome. Despite advances in
neonatology, it has high rates of mortality and morbidity. The combine or alone
usage of interleukin‐6 (IL‐6) and C‐reactive protein (CRP) has recently been
proven to be useful in the early diagnosis of sepsis in newborns. The study
included ... hiện toàn bộ
Prostate‐specific antigen and prostate gland volume: Correlation and clinical application Tập 4 Số 2 - Trang 135-137 - 1990
R. Joseph Babaian, Robert B. Evans, Herbert A. Fritsche
AbstractWe studied 103 patients seen in our Prostate Cancer Detection Clinic to
determine whether a correlation exists between serum prostate‐specific antigen
(PSA) values and ultrasound‐calculated prostate gland volume. Seventy men (68%)
had a PSA value ≤ ng/ml (our upper limit of normal). The men were subclassified
by prostate gland volume at arbitrary break points. Twenty‐five men (24%) had a

Clinical values of circular RNA 0000181 in the screening of gastric cancer Tập 32 Số 4 - 2018
Qianfu Zhao, Shijun Chen, Tianwen Li, Bingxiu Xiao, Xinjun Zhang
BackgroundCircular RNAs (circRNAs) are recently found involved in cancer
occurrence and development. However, their values in the diagnosis of gastric
cancers are largely unknown. In this study, we analyzed the values of
hsa_circ_0000181 in the diagnosis of gastric cancer.MethodsUsing divergent
primers, hsa_circ_0000181 expression levels in fresh gastric cancer tissues and
paired adjacent non‐tumo... hiện toàn bộ
Potential clinical applications of c‐reactive protein Tập 4 Số 3 - Trang 231-235 - 1990
Jonathan Okamura, Junko Miyagi, Keith Y. Terada, Y. Hokama
AbstractThis article reviews the clinical applications of C‐reactive protein
(CRP). This acute‐phase protein is a distinct and sensitive marker for
inflammation and tissue injury. It is a simple, fast, and relatively inexpensive
latex agglutination test. The aspects of CRP reviewed include diagnostic
support, serial measurements to evaluate disease course and therapeutic
response, and screening st... hiện toàn bộ
Cholesterol oxides and carcinogenesis Tập 5 Số 3 - Trang 219-225 - 1991
Robert J. Morin, Bing Hu, Shi‐Kaung Peng, Alex Sevanian
AbstractExperimental evidence indicates a relationship between cholesterol
α‐epoxide and skin cancer, and exposure of skin fibroblasts to ultraviolet
radiation enduces formation of significant levels of this oxide. Colon cancer is
also etiologically linked to cholesterol oxidation products. Higher than normal
levels of cholestanetriol have been found in patients with colon cancer and also
in those... hiện toàn bộ
