miRNAs are important regulators of translation and have been associated with the pathogenesis of a number of cardiovascular diseases including stroke and may be possible prognostic biomarkers. The purpose of the present study was to determine the expression levels of miRNAs in the sera of subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH) patients and to evaluate their relationships with the severity and clinical ...

Objective(s): MicroRNAs (miRs) are a class of small non-coding RNAs which are associated with tumor growth and progression. In the present study, we assessed the expression of selected miRs in malignant, benign, and adjacent normal breast tissues. Materials and Methods: The expression of miR-1297, miR-3191-5P, miR-4435, and miR-4465 were...

causes fatal septicemia and necrotizing wound infections, especially in patients with hepatic disease, heavy alcohol drinking habits and hemochromatosis. V. vulnificus septicemia is characterized by rapid and fulminant progression, and results in a high mortality rate of over 50%. Several bacterial components have been suggested to be virulence factors of V. vulnificus. Of these, an extracellul...

CLINICAL CHEMISTRY, Vol. 33, No. 7, 1987 1297 uals (2-4). We anticipate thattheestimationof salivary melatonin may prove useful in bioavailability studies, in monitoring melatonin secretion in long-term community-based longitudinal studies of a pediatric and psychiatric type, and in studying the pathophysiological aspects of pineal function and their application to laboratory medicine and clini...

SUMMARY The variability of fatigue damage from flight to flight is examined for a fleet of aircraft, both within aircraft and between aircraft. A method is described of modifying the standard analysis of variance technique to take account of correlation between consecutive flights and an example is given. It is then shown how to use the estimates of variance so obtained in the derivation of fac...
