The presence of cell-free microRNAs (miRNAs) has been detected in a range body fluids. miRNA content plasma/serum particular proposed as potential source novel biomarkers for number diseases. Nevertheless, the quantification miRNAs from plasma or serum is made difficult due to inefficient isolation and lack consensus regarding optimal reference miRNA. effect haemolysis on normalisation not investigated great detail. We found that levels miR-16, commonly used gene, showed little variation...
Cell-free microRNAs in plasma and serum have become a promising source of biomarkers for various diseases. Despite rapid progress this field, there remains lack consensus regarding optimal quantification methods, reference genes, quality control samples. Recent studies shown that hemolysis occurring during blood collection has substantial impact on the microRNA content plasma/serum. To date, only been investigated limited number microRNAs, mainly red cell (RBC)-enriched miRs-16 -451. In...
Fibulin-3 (FBLN3) was recently presented as a promising novel biomarker for malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM), warranting independent validation studies. ELISA used to measure cellular and secreted FBLN3 in cell lines, plasma of xenograft tumour-bearing mice, from two series MPM non-MPM patients fluid third series. Diagnostic prognostic potential assessed by receiver operating characteristics curve analysis Kaplan–Meier method, respectively. expressed all benign mesothelial lines tested,...

Purpose To show that the use of a multi‐velocity encoding (VENC) 4D‐flow approach offers significant improvements in characterization complex flow aorta. Four‐dimensional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) (4D‐flow) can be used to measure patterns and dynamics heart major vessels. The quality information derived from these measures is dependent on accuracy vector field, which limited by vector‐to‐noise ratio. Materials Methods A protocol involving three different VENC values 150, 60, 20 cm/s...
Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is an aggressive, locally invasive, cancer elicited by asbestos exposure and almost invariably a fatal diagnosis. To date, we are one of the leading laboratory that compared microRNA expression profiles in MPM normal mesothelium samples order to identify dysregulated microRNAs with functional roles mesothelioma. We interrogated significant collection tumors our biobank search for novel therapeutic targets. Utilizing mRNA-microRNA correlations based on...
Rationale: Transbronchial lung cryobiopsy (TBLC) is an emerging technique for interstitial disease diagnosis. Good histopathologic agreement between TBLC and surgical biopsy (SLB) was demonstrated in the COLDICE (Cryobiopsy versus Open Lung Biopsy Diagnosis of Interstitial Disease Alliance) study; however, diagnostic confidence frequently lower than SLB. Objectives: To characterize specific features predictive usual pneumonia (UIP) corresponding SLB to identify clinical indices concordance....
