Aim: To establish a convenient and sensitive magnetic separation enzyme immunofluorescence (MEIF) method for detecting human insulin.
Methods: Two monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) were conjugated with FITC and alkaline phosphatase (AP) respectively, which were incorporated magnetic solid phase separation. Magnetic beads were coupled with sheep anti-FITC antibody as solid phase and 4-Methylumbelliferyl-phosphoric acid (4-MUP) was used as substrate to set up MElF for detecting insulin.
Results: The sensitivity of this assay was 2.0 microIu/mL, the linear range was from 0 microIu/mL to 188.52 microIu/mL, and the intra-assay variation and inter-assay variation were 4.3%-5.2% and 2.6%-9.5%, respectively. The recovery rate of dilution was 92.6%-117% and the recovery rate of accession was 106%-121%.The result of the assay correlated well with that of magnetic enzyme chemiluminescence immunoassay system.
Conclusion: The MEIF for detecting insulin is low at cost, sensitive, specific and stable, which can be widely used in clinical immune detection.

Background: Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) gene mutations can lead to distant metastasis in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). When the primary NSCLC lesions are removed or cannot be sampled, the EGFR status of the metastatic lesions are the potential alternative method to reflect EGFR mutations in the primary NSCLC lesions. This review aimed to evaluate the potential of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) radiomics based on extrapulmonary metastases in predicting EGFR mutations through a systematic reviews and meta-analysis.

Tumor-derived extracellular vesicles (T-EVs) PD-L1 are an important biomarker for predicting immunotherapy response and can help us understand the mechanism of resistance to immunotherapy. However, this is due to the interference from a large proportion of nontumor-derived EVs. It is still challenging to accurately analyze T-EVs PD-L1 in complex human fluids.

Esmolol has been demonstrated to mitigate inflammation damage and T lymphocyte apoptosis in septic cardiomyopathy. It has been established that the activation of α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) by cluster of differentiation 4(CD4) T lymphocytes expressing choline acetyltransferase (ChAT) can prevent excessive inflammation and reduce splenocyte apoptosis in septic cardiomyopathy. Given the similar anti-inflammatory effects, we hypothesized that esmolol might be associated with α7 nAChR and thereby exert its cardioprotective functions.

Free fentanyl is responsible for its pharmacological effects, but its total concentration is typically determined for therapeutic drug monitoring purposes. Determination of fentanyl concentration can help reduce the prescribed doses, leading to fewer side effects and increased effectiveness. Therefore, predicting free drug concentration in pharmaceutical research is crucial.
