Filter by:Amino acids (AAs) are organic molecules that are associated with inflammation and innate immunity diseases with critical roles in the cell repair and protection process. Our aim was to identify the free amino acids in saliva of a group of periodontitis patients and healthy individuals and additionally to assess their levels in different periodontal disease types and compare it to the healthy individuals.
The purpose of this study is to compare the diagnosis accuracy between of wet suction (WS) technique and standard negative pressure (SNP) technique in EUS-FNB by 22G EUS Procore fine needle biopsy（FNB）device for solid pancreatic lesions.
The overall aim of this study is to assess the potential of an expanded TB testing strategy to increase the number of HIV-positive patients with microbiologically diagnosed TB who are started on treatment in adult wards of sub-Saharan Africa.
A cluster randomized controlled trial to evaluate the effect of placing Truenat platform/TB assays at primary health care clinics combined with rapid communication of results on time to treatment initiation of microbiologically confirmed TB.
The Cepheid Xpert MTB/XDR cartridge, which runs on the same platform as Xpert MTB/RIF Ultra, has been developed to detect additional resistance to isoniazid, fluoroquinolones and second-line injectable anti-tuberculosis drugs and provides results within 2 hours and on primary samples. An evaluation of the the Xpert MTB/XDR assay is currently underway in clinical settings in South Africa, India and Moldova. The TB-CAPT MTB/XDR Study will add further diagnostic accuracy and feasibility data to the evidence base for the Xpert MTB/XDR assay.
Studies suggest that the timing interval between oral intake and the 1-hour gestational diabetes screen may have a significant impact on gestational diabetes screening glucose levels. The investigators plan to conduct a prospective randomized trial comparing a 6-hour fast versus liberal oral intake within 2 hours prior to the glucose tolerance test in pregnancy in order to evaluate the effect of the fasting versus the fed state on routine gestational diabetes screening results.
This is a randomized study that sought to compare the rule-out capacity and antibiotics prescriptions associated with two different diagnostic imaging strategies (ultra-low-dose chest computed tomography versus chest radiography) in a group of healthy adults presenting to the emergency department (ED) with suspected community-acquired pneumonia (CAP).
Explore new markers based on portal venous blood sampling to establish novel diagnostic models for identification of malignant pancreatic mass.
The esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) has high prevalence and mortality in China, which become a severe challenge for public health. The molecular imaging technology has been developed for visualization and precise diagnosis of the tumors. Integrin αvβ3 is a specific marker for tumor. Noninvasive visualization and quantitative analysis of integrin αvβ3 expression provide new opportunities for tumor diagnosis, identification and efficacy monitoring. The peptide containing Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) can specifically bind to integrin αvβ3 receptor with high selectivity and affinity to achieve the detecting tumor .The SPECT/CT with 99mTc-3PRGD2 has a high specificity in the diagnosis of mediastinal lymphnode metastasis and a greater value in the decision-making of lymphnode dissection. This study is a single-center self-controlled study, It is planned to enroll 30 patients with esophageal cancer , preliminarily confirmed by endoscopic biopsy, . After intravenous injection of 0.3 mCi/kg of 99mTC-3PRGD2, patients underwent single-photon emission computed tomography/computed tomography (SPECT/CT) examination.Subsequently, the patients received chest/abdomen enhanced CT and 18F fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) positron emission computed tomography /CT (PET/CT) for diagnosis. According to the determination of the researcher, patients who were suitable for surgery received surgery to obtain surgical pathology; For patients who were not suitable for surgery, ultrasound-guided lyphnode biop was performed .In this study, pathological specimens were obtained from gastroscopy, surgical pathology, or ultrasound-guided lymph node biopsy. The diagnostic accuracy, sensitivity , specificity and safety of SPECT/CT with 99mTc-3PRGD2 were evaluated and compared with PET-CT and enhanced CT.
Peripheral pulmonary lesions(PPLs) have a wide spectrum of diseases, and the diagnosis will affect the treatment strategy and prognosis. Radial endobronchial ultrasound (R-EBUS) can be used for non-invasive diagnosis of PPLs, and the supplement pathological diagnosis results of EBUS-TBLB, which has important clinical application value. This project intends to select representative images from R-EBUS dynamic videos for qualitative and quantitative analysis, to establish and verify the diagnostic evaluation system of R-EBUS forPPLs. Then build 1,000 R-EBUS image databases of PPLs, train deep learning networks for automatic extraction and diagnosis of target areas, and automatically extract representative images from videos to establish a benign and malignant prediction model of PPLs. We will provide reliable theoretical basis for the diagnosis of PPLs, and optimize the diagnosis and treatment method.The network would be prospectively verified through 300 R-EBUS images from multi centers.
