Published: May 2012

We presented a novel platform for an ultrafast PCR system, called the Rotary PCR Genetic Analyzer, which incorporates a thermal block and resistive temperature detector (RTD) for thermal cycling control, a disposable PCR microchip, and a stepper motor. The influenza viral RNAs from H3N2, H5N1, and H1N1 were simultaneously identified with high sensitivity and speed.

Despite strides in diagnostic and therapeutic approaches for ESCC, patient survival rates remain relatively low. Recent studies highlight the pivotal role of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in regulating diverse cellular activities in humans. Dysregulated lncRNAs have emerged as potential diagnostic indicators across various cancers, including ESCC.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the neuroprotective effects of Schisandra Decoction (Sch D) in a mouse model of Parkinson's disease, focusing on the mTOR signaling pathway.
  • Researchers tested 50 male C57 BL/6 mice, assigning them to various groups to evaluate motor function and neuroprotection through behavioral tests and biochemical analyses.
  • Results show that Sch D treatment improved motor function and neuroprotection, reduced α-synuclein aggregation, and affected autophagy pathways, suggesting its potential benefits in Parkinson's disease management.

The progression of gallbladder inflammatory lesions to invasive cancer remains poorly understood, necessitating research on biomarkers involved in this transition. This study aims to identify and validate proteins associated with this progression, offering insights into potential diagnostic biomarkers for gallbladder cancer (GBC). Label-free liquid chromatography-assisted tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) proteomics was performed on samples from ten cases each of GBC and inflammatory lesions, with technical duplicates.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Danggui Buxue decoction (DBD) is a traditional Chinese herbal formula. According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, the combination of (AR) and (AS) is a classic prescription of tonifying and enriching blood. DBD has the functions of hematopoietic, immune enhancement and inflammation inhibition, usually used to treat qi and blood deficiency symptoms.

Article Synopsis
  • The study compares two methods, immunohistochemistry (IHC) and droplet digital PCR (ddPCR), for detecting microsatellite instability (MSI) in colorectal cancer (CRC) patients and finds high agreement between the two techniques.
  • Analysis reveals that patients with MSI-high have better overall and disease-free survival compared to those with microsatellite stability (MSS), particularly in right-sided CRC cases.
  • The research suggests that ddPCR is a valuable tool for MSI detection and highlights the differing impacts of MSI-high and loss of MLH1 expression on patient outcomes in CRC, indicating that both methods can be useful for prognostic assessments.
