Diagnostic value of α-enolase expression and serum α-enolase autoantibody levels in lung cancer

J. bras. pneumol; 44 (1), 2018
ABSTRACT Objective: To investigate the diagnostic value of α-enolase (ENO1) and serum ENO1 autoantibody levels in lung cancer. Methods: Immunohistochemistry staining and ELISA were performed to detect ENO1 expression in lung tissue and serum ENO1 autoantibody levels, respectively. Results: The ex...

Soluble urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor as a measure of treatment response in acute exacerbation of COPD

J. bras. pneumol; 44 (1), 2018
ABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate the value of soluble urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor (suPAR) in the diagnosis of acute exacerbation of COPD (AECOPD) and in monitoring treatment response, analyzing the relationship between suPAR and fibrinogen in AECOPD. AECOPD leads to increased airway inf...

Salivary C-reactive protein, mean platelet volume and neutrophil lymphocyte ratio as diagnostic markers for neonatal sepsis

J. pediatr. (Rio J.); 94 (1), 2018
Abstract Objective: To assess the applicability of salivary C-reactive protein, mean platelet volume, neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio, and platelet lymphocyte ratio in the diagnosis of neonatal sepsis. Methods: Prospective case-control study of 70 full-term neonates, 35 with sepsis (20 with proven sepsis a...

Advanced bone age as an indicator facilitates the diagnosis of precocious puberty

J. pediatr. (Rio J.); 94 (1), 2018
Abstract Objective: Diagnosis of central precocious puberty has always been challenging in clinical practice. As an important method in the diagnosis of central precocious puberty, luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone stimulation test is complex and time-consuming. In many cases, clinical traits are in...

Cerebrospinal fluid lactate: a differential biomarker for bacterial and viral meningitis in children

J. pediatr. (Rio J.); 94 (1), 2018
Abstract Objective: To assess the performance of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) lactate as a biomarker to differentiate bacterial meningitis from viral meningitis in children, and to define an optimal CSF lactate concentration that can be called significant for the differentiation. Methods: Children with cl...

Sensibilidad diagnóstica de electroforesis de proteínas y cadenas livianas libres séricas en gammapatías monoclonales

Rev. méd. Chile; 146 (1), 2018
Background: International guidelines suggest a screening panel for monoclonal gammopathies that contains serum protein electrophoresis (SPE), free light chain (FLC) measurements and immunofixation. This combination provides the possibility of a timely accurate diagnosis. Aim: To evaluate the sensibility...

Sensitive Troponin I Assay in Patients with Chest Pain - Association with Significant Coronary Lesions with or Without Renal Failure

Arq. bras. cardiol; 110 (1), 2018
Abstract Introduction: Despite having higher sensitivity as compared to conventional troponins, sensitive troponins have lower specificity, mainly in patients with renal failure. Objective: Study aimed at assessing the sensitive troponin I levels in patients with chest pain, and relating them to the ex...

Development of an indirect ELISA based on recombinant capsid protein to detect antibodies to bovine leukemia virus

Braz. j. microbiol; 49 (supl.1), 2018
Abstract Serological testing and culling infected animals are key management practices aiming eradication of bovine leukemia virus infection. Here, we report the development of an indirect ELISA based on BLV recombinant capsid protein (BLVp24r) to detect anti-BLV antibodies in cattle serum. The BLVp24r w...
