摘要:
The present invention relates to the field of biomarkers. More specifically, the present invention relates to biomarkers useful in diagnosing brain injuries. In a specific embodiment, a method for diagnosing perinatal brain injury in a patient comprises the steps of (a) determining the ratio of phosphorylated nNOS to unphosphorylated nNOS in a sample collected from the patient using an ELISA; and (b) comparing the ratio with predefined ratios of the same proteins that correlate to a patient having perinatal brain injury and predefined ratios of the same proteins that correlate to a patient not having perinatal brain injury, wherein a correlation to one of the predefined ratios provides the diagnosis.
摘要:
The present invention relates to the field of premature birth. More specifically, the present invention provides methods and compositions useful for preventing premature birth. In one embodiment, a method for preventing preterm birth in a patient comprises the step of administering to the patient an effective amount of autologous mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) during the first or second trimester.
