摘要:
A method and system for querying a structured document stored in its native format in a database, where the structured document includes a plurality of nodes that form a hierarchical node tree, is disclosed. The method includes providing at least one child pointer in each of the plurality of nodes, where the at least one child pointer points to a corresponding child node of the plurality of nodes, and storing a hint in each of the at least one child pointers. The hint is then utilized to navigate the hierarchical node tree during query evaluation.

The invention pertains to a method for early detection and screening of colorectal cancer in human subjects based on RNA isolated from blood obtained from said subject. According to the invention, the abundance of at least 3, 5, 8, 30, 60, 102, 202, 55, 1002 or 1002 RNAs listed in tables 1 to 13 is measured. Using the invention, an accurate and noninvasive screening and diagnosis tool for colorectal cancer is provided with a sensitivity of at least 80% and a specificity of 85% that has high clinical utility and the potential for broad adoption.

摘要:
The invention relates to a method for determining prognosis of subjects with ovarian carcinoma using a biological sample comprising genomic tumor DNA isolated from the subject. According to the invention, the method comprises the steps of: determining the methylation status of a CpG dinucleotide in a target sequence that is selected from the group consisting of the target sequences as referred to by name in Table 1 in a biological sample isolated from a subject; and deducing from the determined methylation status of the target sequence the prognosis of subject with ovarian carcinoma. The improved prognosis determination of the subject with ovarian carcinoma enables the improved treatment of the said patient.
