Background: The rapid diagnosis and treatment of central nervous system (CNS) infections are critical to minimizing morbidity and mortality. We evaluated the implementation status of laboratory tests in patients with suspected CNS infection, and the potential usefulness of a multiplex PCR assay for rapid and simultaneous detection in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of 14 targets capable of causing CNS infections.
Methods: The study was conducted at 5 hospitals located in Daegu and Gyeongju over a period of 6 months.
Background: Several factors contribute to differences in serotype distribution. We investigated the serotype distribution and antimicrobial resistance of isolated between 2014 and 2016 in Korea.
Methods: We collected a total of 1,855 isolates from 44 hospitals between May 2014 and May 2016, and analyzed the serotypes by sequential multiplex PCR.
Objectives: To develop a new method for gastric cancer detection with gastric juice using melanoma-associated gene (MAGE) RNA and pepsinogen (PG).
Methods: In total, 183 gastric juice and paired serum specimens were obtained from 134 patients with gastric cancer and 49 healthy individuals. The gastric juice specimens were analyzed with MAGE A1 to A6 nested reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction.
The melanoma antigen gene (MAGE) A1-A6 RT-PCR system was developed for the detection of lung cancer cells in the sputum. However, we identified MAGE expression in some patients with non-malignant lung diseases. To understand these patterns of MAGE expression, we performed MAGE A3 methylation-specific PCR (MSP) and p16 MSP.
