A Multiple Logistic Regression Model Based on Gamma-Glutamyl Transferase as a Biomarker for Early Prediction of Drug-Induced Liver Injury in Vietnamese Patients.

The discovery of new biomarkers and the causality of drug-induced liver injury (DILI) is a major focus in modern medicine. Alcoholism is considered a risk factor for DILI. However, the extraction and assessment of alcohol history are difficult due to noncooperation by patients and intermittent management.

Bimetallic Thin-Film Combination of Surface Plasmon Resonance-Based Optical Fiber Cladding with the Polarizing Homodyne Balanced Detection Method and Biomedical Assay Application.

In this work, we present the optical birefringence properties of the optical fiber cladding that exists as an evanescent field where the refractive index (RI) of the analysis solution is applied for optical sensor aspiration. To enhance the performance of the sensor, we have investigated the sensor with different thicknesses of TiO coating and bimetallic (Ag-Al) film alloy combinations by thermal evaporation coating. We described a special balanced homodyne detection method for the intensity difference change between the p- and s-polarization lights in the surface plasmon resonance sensing systems, which is strongly determined by the RI of the test medium.

Effects of BO doping on the crystalline structure and performance of DC-magnetron-sputtered, transparent ZnO thin films.

The transparent-conducting performance is estimated through figure-of-merit (FOM) value. To improve poor FOM value of pure ZnO thin films, boron () as a donor impurity was doped into the films. Direct-current magnetron sputtering was used to prepare -doped ZnO (BZO) thin films from sintered ZnO targets with variable content changing from 0 to 2 wt.
