Pancreatic cancer (PC) has a high mortality rate because it is usually diagnosed late. Glycosylation of proteins is known to change in tumor cells during the development of PC. The objectives of this study were to identify and validate the diagnostic value of novel biomarkers based on N-glycomic profiling for PC. In total, 217 individuals including...

The paper presents the application of a diagnostic model of an air velocity field in complex geometric settings. A variational algorithm is used to satisfy the criterion of mass balance. The formulated elliptic-type equation is solved with conformal mapping and the finite difference method for a non-equidistant discretisation net. A series of trans...

Objective A diagnostic model was established to discriminate infectious diseases from non-infectious diseases. Methods The clinical data of patients with fever of unknown origin (FUO) hospitalized in Xiangya Hospital Central South University, from January, 2006 to April, 2011 were retrospectively analyzed. Patients enrolled were divided into two gr...

Autism is widely believed to be a heterogeneous disorder; diagnosis is currently based solely on clinical criteria, although genetic, as well as environmental, influences are thought to be prominent factors in the etiology of most forms of autism. Our goal is to determine whether a predictive model based on single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) ca...

The discovery of biomarkers unique to multiple myeloma (MM) is of great importance to clinical practice. This study was designed to identify serum tumor marker candidates of MM in the mass range of 700–10000 Da. Serum samples from 48 MM patients and 74 healthy controls were collected and classified into a training dataset (MM/controls: 26/26) and a...

The aim of this study was to discover potential biomarkers for rheumatoid arthritis (RA) using Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry combined with magnetic beads. Proteomic fingerprint technology combining magnetic beads with MALDI-TOF-MS was used to profile and compare the proteomes in serum samples from 60 p...

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder with a wide phenotypic range, often affecting personality and communication. Previous voxel-based morphometry (VBM) studies of ASD have identified both gray- and white-matter volume changes. However, the cerebral cortex is a 2-D sheet with a highly folded and curved geometry, which VBM...
