We evaluated a new protocol for measurement of cyclosporine A (CsA) 2 H after dose (C2) on the V-Twin® analyzer. Imprecision, recovery, and linearity were determined using CsA-spiked blood pools. Accuracy was evaluated using specimens from renal, cardiac, and liver transplant patients, and results were compared with those from liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) and the Abbott TDx®/TDxFLx® assay. Cross-reactivity and interferences were assessed in the presence of 800 ng/mL CsA. Imprecision coefficients of variation were 3.3%-4.8% (within run) and 5.9%-8.7% (total). Recovery was within 10% of the expected values. Linearity was 350-2,000 ng/mL. Calibration was stable for ≥ 2 weeks. Method comparison showed regression statistics: V-Twin® = 1.01 × LC tandem MS + 36.1, r = 0.971; V-Twin® = 1.13 × Abbott - 92.4, r = 0.969. Metabolite cross-reactivity and interference (endogenous substances and drugs) were within ±10%. The C2 protocol on the V-Twin® analyzer provides acceptable assay performance and accurate determination of whole blood CsA drawn at 2 H after dose.

Background: Exogenous Cushing's syndrome, which results from prolonged glucocorticoid treatment, is associated with metabolic abnormalities. Previously, we reported the inhibitory effect of tonsil-derived mesenchymal stem cell conditioned medium (T-MSC CM) on glucocorticoid signal transduction. In this study, we investigated the therapeutic efficacy of T-MSCs in a mouse model of exogenous Cushing's syndrome.

The testing and modeling of semiconductor devices are the foundation of circuit design. The issue of high-power device testing urgently needs to be solved as the power level of the devices under test (DUTs) increases. This work proposes advanced measurement methods based on three aspects of "measuring capability, security, and stability" with a focus on the features of high output power, easy self-oscillation in mismatch tests, and safety risk in the measurement system of high-power transistors.

Background/purpose: This study assessed the ability of experimental materials consisting of dicalcium silicate (DCS) and tricalcium silicate (TCS) with nanosized particles to form intratubular crystals under phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) and the effect on dentin permeability reduction.
Materials And Methods: By isolating the cervical part of the extracted premolars, 195 specimens were obtained. Two experimental materials (DCS/TCS and TCS) were applied to the dentin surface by brushing and stored in PBS (n = 65).
