Published: December 2002

This article is a critical review of some of the methods that have been used for the sampling, analysis, and monitoring of vapor-phase toluene diisocyanate (TDI). Only some of the methods that have received relatively widespread application have been addressed in this article. This review includes a "tutorial style" discussion of basic definitions and basic principles and procedures of quality control and metrology for sampling, analysis, and monitoring. One critical issue that is addressed: Are there methods and monitoring instruments available that are capable of sampling and analyzing or monitoring TDI vapor with sufficient speed and sensitivity to satisfy the requirements of the current ACGIH threshold limit values (TLVs) for TDI vapor?

Purpose: The C-reactive protein (CRP)-albumin-lymphocyte (CALLY) index is a newly developed biomarker that combines measurements of CRP, serum albumin, and lymphocyte count. This index provides a thorough assessment of a patient's inflammation level, nutritional condition, and immunological function. The objective of this study is to examine the correlation between the CALLY index and all-cause mortality in COPD patients.

Exploring the Impact of Systemic Inflammatory Regulators on Rosacea Risk: A Bidirectional Mendelian Randomization Analysis.

Clin Cosmet Investig Dermatol

January 2025

Department of Dermatology, Changshu No. 1 People's Hospital, Changshu Hospital Affiliated to Soochow University, Changshu, Jiangsu, 215500, People's Republic of China.

Objective: Rosacea is a common chronic inflammatory disorder primarily affecting the face. While inflammatory factors are known to play a pivotal role in its pathogenesis, their causal relationship with rosacea remains unclear. This study employed a two-sample bidirectional Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis to investigate the causal links between systemic inflammatory regulators and rosacea.
