Globally, hepatitis B virus (HBV) related hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the major causes of cancer-related mortality. This is, in part, due to delayed diagnosis and limited therapeutic options with more advanced stages of the disease. Given the prognostic importance of early diagnosis, novel methods for early detection are in need. Unlik...

Objectives: Extranodal natural/killer T-cell lymphoma (ENKTL) is a rare subtype of T cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Current clinical prognostic models for ENKTL still have their limitations. Validated prognostic models for ENKTL have not yet been established. Methods: Tumor microenvironment IL-6 was measured by immunohistochemistry in 78 ENKTL patien...

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is an ever-growing epidemic in India, and poses significant morbidity, mortality, and socioeconomic burden. Growth differentiation factor-15 (GDF15) is a stress-responsive cytokine, increased in T2DM patients compared to control subjects without the disease. We aimed to assess whether serum GDF15 and adipose tissue G...

We assessed the diagnostic accuracy of serum (1 → 3)-β-D-glucan (BDG) for neonatal invasive candidiasis (NIC) using the recommended cut-off usually used in adults for detecting invasive candidiasis and searched for an optimal cut-off for ruling out NIC. We conducted a prospective cross-sectional study at Nantes University medical centre from Januar...
ABSTRACT: Bone trauma triggers an acute inflammatory response, which can alter the serum concentration of acute-phase proteins (PFA). We aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of PFA measurement as a laboratory biomarker for inflammation related to bone regeneration. A partial ostectomy of the right radius was performed on 22 young male rabbits. The c...

Aim: The aim is to study ANXA2 biomarkers for early diagnosis of cervical cancer. Materials & methods: The study used bioinformatics analysis and experimental verification of ANXA2 expression in cervical cancer. Results: ANXA2 expression was higher in cancer tissues than in non-cancer tissues (p = 0.002). ANXA2 was expressed in cell membranes of no...
Atherosclerosis is a disease affecting the blood vessels in the body. Its pathophysiologic mechanisms involve infiltration of the vessel walls by fatty matter and immune cells. This process is slow, starting in childhood but typically not manifesting as symptomatic disease until late adulthood (after 60 years of age). The identification of younger ...

The study aimed to investigate the relationship between serum interleukin-33 (IL-33) concentrations and poststroke depression (PSD) in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS). Serum IL-33 concentrations were determined using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Patients were assigned to the PSD group after a six-month follow-up if their score on...

Visible and near infrared (vis-NIR) diffuse reflectance and X-ray fluorescence (XRF) sensors are promising proximal soil sensing (PSS) tools for predicting soil key fertility attributes. This work aimed at assessing the performance of the individual and combined use of vis-NIR and XRF sensors to predict clay, organic matter (OM), cation exchange ca...

In Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), it is important to evaluate disease activity and investigate possible biomarkers. Therefore, in this study, we investigated the relationship between disease activity and serum levels of possible immune activation marker neopterin in patients with COVID-19. The study enrolled 45 patients (23 females, 51.1%) tr...
