Detection and significance of serum protein markers of small-cell lung cancer.
Currently, no satisfactory biomarkers are available to screen for small-cell lung cancer (SCLC). We applied a surface-enhanced laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (SELDI-TOF MS) ProteinChip system to detect 150 serum samples (including 54 SCLC patients, 24 non-small cell lung cancer [NSCLC] patients, […]
Prediction of diagnosis of immunoglobulin a nephropathy prior to renal biopsy and correlation with urinary sediment findings and prognostic grading.
Several clinical markers correlate well with the diagnosis and prognosis of IgA nephropathy (IgAN). In the present study, we re-evaluated the usefulness of these four clinical markers for prediction of the diagnosis of […]
Fast detection of MYCN copy number alterations in brain neuronal tumors by real-time PCR.
Increased MYCN gene copy number is a characteristic property of neurogenic tumors. Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and array-based comparative genomic hybridization (array-CGH) are traditionally used to determine MYCN amplification for tumor stratification. A unique ability of real-time quantitative […]
An optimized nested polymerase chain reaction (PCR) approach allows detection and characterization of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) env and gag genes from clinical samples.
The needs for development and/or improvement of molecular approaches for microorganism detection and characterization such as polymerase chain reaction (PCR) are of high interest due their sensitivity […]
Erratum.
Cellular immune response from chagasic patients to CRA or FRA recombinant antigens of Trypanosoma cruzi.
We propose to analyze the relation between the cellular immune response of Chagas\’ disease patients after in vitro stimulation of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) with recombinant antigens cytoplasmatic repetitive antigen (CRA) or flagellar repetitive antigen (FRA) of […]
Gamma heavy chain disease in a patient with diabetes and chronic renal insufficiency: diagnostic assessment of the heavy chain fragment.
Heavy chain diseases are rare B-cell disorders that are characterized by an overproduction of abnormal and structurally incomplete monoclonal immunoglobulin (Ig) heavy chains and are devoid of light chains. We describe a case […]
Preliminary clinical measurement of the expression of TNF-related apoptosis inducing ligand in patients with ankylosing spondylitis.
It has recently been reported that tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-related apoptosis inducing ligand (TRAIL) plays various roles in such autoimmune diseases as diabetes, multiple sclerosis (MS), and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). However, it has still remained unclear […]
Acute phase phospholipids related to the cardiolipin of mitochondria in the sera of patients with chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), chronic ciguatera fish poisoning (CCFP), and other diseases attributed to chemicals, Gulf War, and marine toxins.
This study examined 328 CFS sera in a study with 17 CCFP, 8 Gulf War Veterans (GWV), 24 […]
