The Prognostic Importance of Immunohistochemical Biomarkers in Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma

West Indian med. j; 69 (1), 2021
ABSTRACT Objective: Molecular methods have practical difficulties in identifying sub-groups of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) in routine clinical practice. The goal of this study was to sub-classify DLBCL patients into sub-groups by immunohistochemical method and to evaluate the effects of sub-gr...

In vivo protective effect of cinnamon aqueous extract in carbon tetrachloride-treated male albino rats

Acta sci., Health sci; 43 (), 2021
The liver as an organ is important for the metabolism of drugs and toxins. However, it is not immune from environmental insults. Exposure of liver cells to carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) results in the generation of tricholoromethyl radicals, which induce liver toxicity. This study a...

¿La detección de toxinas de Clostridioides difficile es necesaria cuando se detecta la enzima glutamato deshidrogenasa?

Gac. méd. Méx; 157 (1), 2021
Resumen Introducción: Clostridioides difficile causa diarrea y colitis pseudomembranosa. Su diagnóstico se realiza con la detección de glutamato-deshidrogenasa (GDH) o las toxinas A y B y se confirma con pruebas de amplificación de ácidos nucleicos. Objetivo: Definir si la determinación de GDH es...

Use and misuse of biomarkers and the role of D-dimer and C-reactive protein in the management of COVID-19: A post-hoc analysis of a prospective cohort study

Clinics; 76 (), 2021
OBJECTIVE: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is associated with high mortality among hospitalized patients and incurs high costs. Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection can trigger both inflammatory and thrombotic processes, and these complications can lead to a poorer prognosis. Thi...

Cambios a largo plazo en los marcadores fisiológicos y de rendimiento cognitivo en la diabetes de tipo 2: el estudio Look AHEAD

Cytomolecular investigations using repetitive DNA probes contribute to the identification and characterization of Characidium sp. aff. C. vidali (Teleostei: Characiformes)

Neotrop. ichthyol; 19 (2), 2021
Characidium sp. aff. C. vidali is a species found in coastal streams in southeastern Brazil, which has karyotypic explanatory elements as the occurrence of microstructural variations, keeping the chromosomal macrostructure of the genus. The objective of this study was to apply cytomolecular tools in the ...

Acute-phase protein concentration in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid from healthy horses

Pesqui. vet. bras; 40 (12), 2020
Bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) was analyzed to obtain information on leakage of acute-phase proteins from the blood into the respiratory lumen and about local synthesis. Ceruloplasmin, transferrin, albumin, α1-antitripsin, immunoglobulin G heavy, immunoglobulin G light, immunoglobulin A, haptog...

Biomarcadores como predictores de mortalidad en pacientes graves con infecciones
Biomarkers as mortality predictors in severely-ill patients with infections

Introducción: Actualmente se buscan biomarcadores que se modifiquen paralelamente con la historia natural de la sepsis. Objetivo: Describir las variaciones de la proteína C reactiva, la eritrosedimentación y el conteo de eosinófilos en pacientes graves portadores de enfermedad infecciosa en difere...

mRNAs biomarker related to the control of proliferation and cell death in HepG2/C3A spheroid and monolayer cultures treated with piperlongumine

Appl. cancer res; 40 (), 2020
Background: Cell culture (spheroid and 2D monolayer cultures) is an essential tool in drug discovery. Piperlongumine (PLN), a naturally occurring alkaloid present in the long pepper (Piper longum), has been implicated in the regulation of GSTP1 activity. In vitro treatment of cancer cells with PLN increa...

Quercetin protects against acetaminophen-induced acute nephrotoxicity associated with the inhibition of biomarkers of acute kidney injury in rats

Int. j. morphol; 38 (4), 2020
Acetaminophen (also called paracetamol, or APAP) causes acute kidney injury after accidental or intentional ingestion of a toxic dose of the drug. We tested whether the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agent, quercetin (QUR) given alone can protect against acute nephrotoxicity induced by APAP overdose i...
