INTRODUCTION Carotid intima media thickness (CIMT) being a cost effective and easily performed technique is useful in the detection of subclinical atherosclerosis and has been shown to be a prognosticator of cardiovascular events. The primary objective of this study was to obtain the distribution of CIMT measurements, highly sensitive C reactive protein (hs-CRP) and assessing health awareness a...

Purpose: To explore effects of atorvastatin in combination with probucol on blood lipid and serum Creactive protein of patients with cerebral infarction. Methods: In total, 120 patients with confirmed cerebral infarction were randomly divided into test and control groups (n = 60 each). Control group was given atorvastatin 20 mg, once every night, while test group received 0.5 g probucol twice d...

prosite database contains a set of entries corresponding to protein families, which are used to identify the family of a protein from its sequence. although patterns and profiles are developed to be very selective, each may have false positive or negative hits. considering false positives as items that reduce the selectiveness of a pattern, then, the more selective pattern we have, a more accur...

recombinant protein purification is a kind of sensitive and expensive method in genetics engineering. genetic manipulation leads to the expression of various proteins; it should be isolated with high purity finally. differed methods for protein purification are categorized, based on cast, quality, easy work and side effect of protein. in this article, we are investigating his his-tag protein pu...

Objective: To investigate the changes of the levels of serum inflammatory factors, high sensitivity CReactive Protein (hs-CRP) and complement Component 3 (C3) and Component 4 (C4) in neonates with Neonatal Gonococcal Conjunctivitis (NGC), and to explore the clinical significance. Methods: Thirty-two neonates with NGC including 14 boys and 18 girls (3 d to 6 d old) were selected in the Children’...

3.1 What laboratory tests are needed? At the time of diagnosis, certain laboratory tests are useful along with joint examination and eye checks. These tests help to define the type of JIA and to identify patients at risk of developing specific complications such as chronic iridocyclitis. Rheumatoid factor (RF) is a laboratory test detecting an autoantibody, which, if positive and persistent in ...
