    摘要: The present invention relates to biomarkers for cancer diagnosis and uses thereof, and more particularly to a composition for diagnosing or predicting cancer prognosis, comprising an agent for measuring levels of at least two biomarkers selected from the group consisting of Complement Component 7 (C7), Dodecanoyl-L-carnitine (DC), Lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC), Histidine-Rich Glycoprotein (HRG) and Osteopontin in blood, and a method of using the biomarker to provide information about the diagnosis or prognosis of cancer.
    In the present invention, it was confirmed that the level of complement component 7 (C7), dodecanoyl-L-carnitine (DC), lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC), histidine-rich glycoprotein (HRG), and/or osteopontin (OPN) in blood of lung and/or hepatic cancer patients has been found to have different patterns than that of normal individuals, and the combination of these markers has been shown to improve the diagnosis of various cancers, including lung or hepatic cancer. Accordingly, the biomarkers of the present invention can be useful in cancer diagnosis and prognosis.

    摘要: Disclosed in the present invention is an application of conjugated bilirubin as a biomarker in preparation of a diagnosis device for evaluating a risk of neonatal biliary atresia. Also disclosed in the present invention are a bilirubin content measurement method, a stable quantitative detection reagent for bilirubin, and an application of the quantitative detection reagent for bilirubin in preparation of a kit for measuring a content of the bilirubin and evaluating a risk of biliary atresia of a subject, infant hepatitis syndrome, α1 antitrypsin deficiency disease or Alagille syndrome. Also disclosed in the present invention are a kit for measuring the content of the bilirubin or evaluating the risk of neonatal biliary atresia, an application of the kit, a method for evaluating the risk of neonatal biliary atresia, and a device for predicting the risk of neonatal biliary atresia by using an expression level of the conjugated bilirubin. The present invention has the advantages of being simple and rapid, flexible in sample preparation, low in limit of detection, good in repeatability and high in sensitivity; and the sample preparation and detection method is simple and easy to implement, low in cost and suitable for popularization and use.

    摘要: In a quantitative determination device 10 for brominated flame-retardant compounds, a storage section 41 holds a relative response factor 411 representing a relationship of a measured intensity of a compared compound to that of a reference compound selected from target compounds. A standard-sample measurer 43 acquires the intensity of the reference compound by measuring a standard sample, using an analyzer 10, 20. A target-sample measurer 45 acquires the intensities of the reference and compared compounds by measuring a target sample, using the analyzer. A reference-compound quantity determiner 46 determines a quantitative value of the reference compound in the target sample. A compared-compound quantity determiner 47 determines a quantitative value of the compared compound based on the quantity of the reference compound in the standard sample, intensity of the reference compound acquired by the standard-sample measurer, intensity of the compared compound acquired by the target-sample measurer, and relative response factor of the compared compound.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a multiresidual method for detecting and/or quantifying at least one amino acid or derivative thereof, at least one organic acid, and/or at least one modified nucleotide, in a sample of biological liquid or circulating cells, comprising the steps of: a) treating the sample with an extraction mixture at room temperature, preferably refrigerated at a temperature lower than −20° C., comprising i) a mixture of one or more organic solvents having a final polarity index between 3 and 6, ii) a strong acid in an amount sufficient for the extraction mixture to have a normality from 0.005 to 0.025 N or a weak acid with ka in the range between 3.5×10−7 and 7.0×10−3 with a final concentration in the extraction mixture from 5 to 30 mM; wherein the extraction mixture comprises: acetonitrile, dichioromethane and formic acid; or acetonitrile and hydrochloric acid; or acetone and formic acid; or methanol and formic acid; or acetonitrile and formic acid; or methanol and dimethyl sulfoxide; or acetonitrile and dimethyl sulfoxide; or acetonitrile, methanol and hydrochloric acid; or acetonitrile and methanol; b) performing a hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography (HILIC) on the sample treated in step a); c) performing an analysis by tandem mass spectrometry on the sample obtained in step b) detecting and/or quantifying the at least one amino acid or derivative thereof, and/or the at least one organic acid, and/or the at least one modified nucleotide.

    摘要: Provided in the present invention is a device for diagnosing liver cancer. The device determines the level of a biomarker in a biological sample of a subject to be a diagnostic indicator, wherein the level of the biomarker is selected from the level of one or more of taurocholic acid, taurochenodeoxycholic acid, glycocholic acid, glycochenodeoxycholic acid, linolelaidic acid (C18:2n6t), maltotriose, maltose and/or lactose, α-linolenic acid, β-alanine, sebacic acid, 2-methylvaleric acid, valeric acid, isovaleric acid and hexanoic acid, and/or the ratio of secondary bile acid to primary bile acid, and/or the ratio of glycine-conjugated primary bile acid to taurine-conjugated primary bile acid, the primary bile acid being selected from cholic acid and chenodeoxycholic acid, and the secondary bile acid comprising deoxycholic acid, lithocholic acid and ursodeoxycholic acid. The diagnosis device of the present invention can be used for early diagnosis of liver cancer and liver cirrhosis, thereby buying time for patients and improving the clinical treatment effect.
