LPS induced PCT production via TLR-4/NF-кB passway:it is the difference of G-/G+ bacteremia rats.

Sepsis by Gram-negative bacteria infection leads to further increase in procalcitonin (PCT). Herein, we examined the expression of PCT after 24 h in rats by injecting Escherichia coli (E. coli) or Staphylococcus aureus (SA).

[Application of genome-wide microarray for screening genes related to peritoneal metastasis of colorectal cancer].

Objective: To screen genes related to peritoneal metastasis of colorectal cancer.

Methods: Specimens of primary cancer and normal mucosa tissues were collected from 3 patients with peritoneal metastasis of colorectal cancer. The total RNA were extracted and inversely transcribed into cDNA to synthesize aRNA using in vitro RNA synthesis.
