To detect the serum proteomic patterns by using SELDI-TOF-MS and CM10 ProteinChip techniques in colorectal cancer (CRC) patients, and to evaluate the significance of the proteomic patterns in colorectal cancer staging. |
METHODS |
A total of 76 serum samples were obtained from CRC patients at different clinical stages, including Dukes A (n = 10), Dukes B (n = 19), Dukes C (n = 16) and Dukes D (n = 31). Different stage models were developed and validated by bioinformatics methods of support vector machines, discriminant analysis and time-sequence... |
RESULTS |
The model I formed by six proteins of peaks at m/z 2759.6, 2964.7, 2048.0, 4795.9, 4139.8 and 37 761.6 could do the best as potential biomarkers to distinguish local CRC patients (Dukes A and Dukes B) from regional CRC patients (Dukes C ) with an accuracy of 86.7%. The model II formed by 3 proteins of peaks at m/z 6885... |
CONCLUSION |
Our findings indicate that this method can well be used in preoperative staging of colorectal cancers and the screened tumor markers may serve for guidance of integrating treatment of colorectal cancers.Fast fragmentation during surface-induced dissociation: An examination of peptide size and structure |

BACKGROUND |
In 1990 a pilot nurse-midwifery program was implemented in a tertiary care hospital in a major western Canadian city. a randomized, controlled trial was conducted to determine if, when maternal and newborn patient outcomes were compared, the midwifery program was as effective as traditional, low-risk health care availa... |
METHODS |
All low-risk women who requested and qualified for nurse-midwifery care were randomly assigned to an experimental or control group. |
RESULTS |
One hundred one women received care from nurse-midwives and 93 received standard care from either an obstetrician or family physician. The rate of cesarean delivery in the nurse-midwife group was 4 percent compared with 15.1 percent in the physician group. The episiotomy rate, excluding cesarean deliveries, for the nur... |
CONCLUSIONS |
The results clearly support the effectiveness of the pilot nurse-midwifery program and suggest that more extensive participation of midwives in the Canadian health care system is an appropriate use of health care dollars.[Masturbation device (EGG) as a new penile rehabilitation tool: a pilot study]. |
Erectile dysfunction following radical prostatectomy (RP) is still a significant burden as a post-operative morbidity, despite advances in nerve-sparing techniques and penile (erectile function) rehabilitation (PR) programs. We assessed the effects of stimulation with the masturbation device "EGG" on enhancement of ere... |
The authors analysed 150 consecutive cases of valgus osteotomy (Pauwels II) performed in cases of very severe osteoarthritis, and followed up for 3 to 10 years (average 6 years). The quality and the permanency of the results depend mainly on the morphology of the osteoarthritic hip. A satisfactory clinical and radiolog... |
BACKGROUND |
Lifestyle interventions reduce cardiovascular risk and risk of diabetes mellitus, but reports on long-term effects on quality of life (QOL) and health care utilization are rare. We investigated the impact of a primary health care-based lifestyle intervention program on QOL and cost-effectiveness over 3 years. |
METHODS |
A total of 151 men and women, aged 18 to 65 years, at moderate to high risk for cardiovascular disease, were randomly assigned to either lifestyle intervention with standard care or standard care alone. Intervention consisted of supervised exercise sessions and diet counseling for 3 months, followed by regular group me... |
RESULTS |
Significant differences between the groups over the 3-year period were shown in the EQ-VAS (P = .002), SF-6D (P = .01), and SF-36 (P = .04) physical component summary but not in the EQ-5D (P = .24) or SF-36 (P = .37) mental component summary. The net savings were $47 per participant. Costs per gained QALY, savings not ... |
CONCLUSION |
Lifestyle intervention in primary care improves QOL and is highly cost-effective in relation to standard care. Trial Registration clinicaltrials.gov Identifier: NCT00486941.Artificial perception and consciousness |
Perception has both unconscious and conscious aspects. In all cases, however, what we perceive is a model of reality. By brain construction through evolution, we divide the world into two parts--our body and the outside world. But the process is the same in both cases. We perceive a construct usually governed by sensed... |
Chronic kidney disease is associated with cognitive impairment. While the pathophysiology remains unclear, it has been suggested that it shares some similarity to those in Alzheimer’s disease. Currently, most studies in this area used the 5/6 nephrectomy and high adenine diet to induce renal impairment in rat or mice. ... |
