The 5-year survival rate of patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remains low, despite recent advances in targeted therapy and immunotherapy. Therefore, there is a need to identify alternative strategies to improve treatment outcomes. Modern diagnostics can significantly facilitate the selection of treatment plans to improve patient outcomes.

Article Synopsis
  • The study explored the link between circulating tumor cells (CTCs) and clinical features in colorectal cancer patients, analyzing blood samples from 316 individuals.
  • It found that total CTC counts were related to lymph node involvement but not TNM staging, with significant differences in mesenchymal CTCs seen between patients with and without lymph node involvement.
  • Systemic inflammatory markers showed relationships with CTC counts, with higher platelet/lymphocyte ratios and lower lymphocyte/monocyte ratios being associated with increased CTC counts.

Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) are sensitive and reliable biomarkers for tracing relapsed and metastatic cancer. Here, we explore the clinical significance of CTCs and T lymphocyte subtypes in patients with pancreatic cancer. A total of 106 patients with the pancreatic cancer were enrolled in this study.

A highly sensitive and novel colorimetric rolling circle amplification (RCA) immunoassay for detecting C-reactive protein (CRP) has been developed. In the assay, a CRP capture antibody was immobilized on magnetic beads and a CRP detection antibody was conjugated with single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) using N-[ε-maleimidocaproyloxy] sulfosuccinimide ester. Along with the addition of CRP, a "sandwich" structure was formed.

A highly sensitive and specific colorimetry-based rolling circle amplification (RCA) assay has been successfully developed as a method for the effective detection of H1N1 DNA. Specific oligonucleotide and reporter primer probes were designed together with a circular template, and the oligonucleotide probes were attached to the surfaces of magnetic beads (MBs) to form functional MB-DNA conjugates as capture probes for the target H1N1 DNA molecules. Together with the addition of DNA targets and reporter primer probes to the MB-DNA conjugates, sandwiched hybrids were formed.
