AI Article Synopsis
- A radioimmunoassay (RIA) was used to measure estramustine binding protein (EMBP) levels in human benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH) tissue.
- EMBP concentration was significantly higher in the epithelium (10.7 ng/mg protein) compared to the stroma (2.9 ng/mg protein).
- Among different BPH types, the glandular type had the highest EMBP levels (15.7 ng/mg protein), while the fibromuscular type had the lowest (10.8 ng/mg protein).
Article Abstract
Using a highly sensitive radioimmunoassay (RIA) of estramustine binding protein (EMBP) with the antibody raised against rat-EMBP, the concentration of EMBP in human benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH) tissue was evaluated. Using mechanical separation procedure, EMBP was found significantly higher in the epithelium (10.7 ng/mg protein) than in the stroma (2.9 ng/mg protein). When human BPH was classified into glandular, fibromuscular and mixed type, the concentration of EMBP was the highest in glandular type (15.7 ng/mg protein) and the lowest in fibromuscular type (10.8 ng/mg protein).

Background: Urine neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (uNGAL) is a biomarker for the early diagnosis of AKI.
Objectives: To evaluate uNGAL in dogs with non-associative immune mediated hemolytic anemia (IMHA) and to evaluate whether uNGAL correlates with disease severity markers, negative prognostic indicators and outcome.
Animals: Twenty-two dogs with non-associative IMHA and 14 healthy dogs.

Purpose: Cisplatin (CDDP) induces acute kidney injury (AKI) as a side effect during neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC). Urinary vanin-1 excretion may increase during CDDP treatment. We investigated whether urinary vanin-1 is an early biomarker for CDDP-induced AKI.

Phytohemagglutinin (PHA), a natural tetramer comprising PHA-E and PHA-L subunits that preferentially bind to red and white blood cells, respectively, constitutes a significant antinutritional and allergenic factor in common bean seeds. The accurate measurement of PHA content is a prerequisite for ensuring food safety inspections and facilitating genetic improvements in common bean cultivars with reduced PHA levels. Currently, mainstream methods for PHA quantification involve hemagglutination assays and immunodetection, but these methods often require fresh animal blood and lack specificity and accuracy.

Per- and polyfluorinated alkyl substances (PFAS) are pervasive environmental contaminants that bioaccumulate in tissues and pose risks to human health. Increasing evidence links PFAS to neurodegenerative and behavioral disorders, yet the underlying mechanisms of their effects on neuronal function remain largely unexplored. In this study, we utilized SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells, differentiated into neuronal-like cells, to investigate the impact of six PFAS compounds─perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (PFOS), perfluorodecanoic acid (PFDA), perfluorodecanesulfonic acid (PFDS), 8:2 fluorotelomer sulfonate (8:2 FTS), and 8:2 fluorotelomer alcohol (8:2 FTOH)─on neuronal health.

Background: Collectively, leishmaniasis and Chagas disease cause approximately 8 million cases and more than 40,000 deaths annually, mostly in tropical and subtropical regions. The current drugs used to treat these diseases have limitations and many undesirable side effects; hence, new drugs with better clinical profiles are needed. Fungal endophytes associated with plants are known to produce a wide array of bioactive secondary metabolites, including antiprotozoal compounds.
