Clinical evaluation of the levels of 12 cytokines in serum/plasma under various storage conditions using evidence biochip arrays.

Cytokines are a group of peptides which form a sophisticated network to modulate multiple cellular events. Within such a network, and through complex feedback mechanisms, cytokine functions are largely interdependent and closely associated with a number of pathological processes. In the present study, the EVIDENCE 180 system was used to study the effects of storage temperature and repeated freeze/thaw cycles on the concentration of 12 cytokines in various sample types.

[The study on metabolic difference of human body affected by active stress and passive stress under special events].

Objective: To study the metabolic difference of body influenced by active stress and passive stress under special events.

Methods: To detect serum multiple biochemistry index of 57 earthquake rescue medical team and 13 victims of a natural calamity in Wenchuan earthquake by using Hitachi 7600 automatic analyzer.

Results: Stress affected biochemistry index deeply.
