Background: Pneumatic tube system (PTS) may be associated with preanalytical hemolysis. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of PTS on biochemical and immunological tests susceptible to hemolysis and try to find ways to reduce the result bias caused by PTS.
Methods: Laboratory parameters were compared between PTS without centrifuging group, PTS after centrifuging group, PTS with serum group, and hand-delivered (HD) group.
The objective of this study was to explore the association between serum markers neuron-specific enolase (NSE) and C-reactive protein (CRP) with intestinal lesion location and degree of inflammation in patients with Crohn's disease (CD). The levels of serum NSE, CRP, and fecal calprotectin (FC) in patients with CD were analyzed retrospectively. The severity of inflammatory lesions in the intestinal wall was accessed using the Simple Endoscopic Score for Crohn's disease (SES-CD).

Article Synopsis
- The study examines the association between the MDR1 C3435T polymorphism and colorectal cancer (CRC) risk specifically in Asian populations, noting previous inconsistencies in findings.
- A thorough meta-analysis included 7 studies with 4,818 participants, revealing that individuals with the T allele had a significantly lower risk of developing CRC.
- The analysis also confirmed the stability of results with no indication of publication bias, ultimately concluding that the MDR1 C3435T polymorphism is linked to reduced CRC risk in Asians.
Article Synopsis
- Dog allergy is prevalent globally, but its specific allergenicity, especially in Chinese children, remains unclear, highlighting the focus on Can f 6, a significant dog allergen.
- The study involved cloning the Can f 6 gene, producing the protein, and confirming its allergenic properties through various analytical methods, such as SDS-PAGE and Western blotting.
- Results indicated that over half of the allergic children reacted to Can f 6, revealing its potential role in allergy diagnostics and treatments, as well as providing insights for future vaccine development.
Background: Bone metastases often occur in the majority of patients with advanced cancer, such as prostate cancer, lung cancer and breast cancer. Serum tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase 5b (TRACP 5b), a novel bone resorption marker, has been used gradually in the clinics as a specific and sensitive marker of bone resorption for the early diagnosis of cancer patients with bone metastasis. Here, we reported that high concentrations of uric acid (UA) lead to decrease of TRACP 5b levels and determined whether TRACP 5b level was associated with UA in interference experiment.

Here we present electron spin resonance (ESR) chronology for the Majuangou (MJG-III, MJG-II and MJG-I) and Banshan (BS) Paleolithic sites in this basin by the quartz Ti-Li center ESR dating. Results show that the ages of MJG-III and MJG-II could be estimated to be ∼1.

Methods: With paracetamol as the internal control, human plasma samples, after treatment with methanol for protein sedimentation and centrifugation, were loaded for analysis with high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). HPLC analysis was carried out using a C18 column (5 µm, 4.
