摘要:
A method for determining a patient's likelihood of experiencing a thromboembolic event when receiving an implantable blood contacting medical device. The method includes extracting a sample of blood from the patient. The sample of blood is exposed to a metal, metal alloy, or ceramic in a test tube. The sample of the blood is agitated in the test tube. A thromboembolic marker for the sample in the test tube is measured. If the thromboembolic marker for the sample in the test tube is higher than a predetermined thromboembolic marker threshold, it is determined that the patient is likely to experience the thromboembolic event when receiving the blood contacting implantable medical device.

To provide means for reducing reaction interference observed when AT III is subjected to limulus test, whereby the limulus test of antithrombin III can be carried out at high accuracy. Reaction interference observed when AT III is subjected to limulus test can be reduced by subjecting AT III to a protein inactivation treatment in the co-presence of a divalent metal salt.

The present invention discloses a bladder cancer biomarker and a test method using the same. The biomarker contains at least one of the mentioned 69 compounds, such as apolipoprotein A1 (APOA1), apolipoprotein A2 (APOA2), peroxiredoxin 2 (PRDX2), heparin cofactor 2 precursor (HCII), and serum amyloid A-4 protein (SAA4), which exist in the urine specimen of a testee. The expression intensity of the biomarker can facilitate diagnosis of bladder cancer and evaluation of aggressiveness and malignancy of bladder cancer. Thereby, the physician can arrange an optimized treatment to achieve the best therapeutic effect.
摘要:
In one aspect, the present invention provides a device and method for real-time, direct detection of heparin in buffer and in serum comprising a microfluidic field-effect device as an affinity biosensor. The sensor is based on an electrolyte-insulator-silicon structure, and is manufactured by a standard high-yield silicon microfabrication process. The binding of heparin to the sensor surface induces a change in the insulator-electrolyte surface potential, which is measured as a change in sensor capacitance. To ensure the binding selectivity, protamine and antithrombin III are used as affinity probes.

Methods and reagents for determining antithrombin III (AT) in body fluids by adding an AT binding partner to the sample and determining the free AT binding partner.
摘要:
Oligosaccharides obtainable from heparin including heparinic constituents of molecular weights ranging from 2000 to 50,000. Said fractions have a Yin-Wessler titer and a USP titer in a ratio of at least 30. They consist of chains constituted by no more than 8 saccharidic moities. They possess a strong antithrombotic activity and are then useful as antithrombotic drugs.
摘要:
A method for determination of biological activity of AT III which comprises mixing a specimen, AT III free-extrinsic coagulation factor-containing plasma, heparin and a prothrombin time-measuring reagent or a factor X-activating reagent and then measuring a coagulation time, and a reagent and plasma to be used therefor.
摘要:
A method for determining the endogenous thrombin potential (ETP), which shows how much and for what length of time thrombin has been active in a sample of clotting blood or plasma. The ETP can be used for determining the effectiveness of treatment with antithrombotics of any type. Thus, the ETP determination comprises adding to a sample a thrombin substrate, an activator of thrombin formation, a preparation of proteaseinhibitor and if desired a pharmaceutical for analysis. The thrombin substrate is preferably selected to not completely consume the amount of thrombin generated in the sample, to have a rate of conversion of the substrate which is proportional to the amount of thrombin present and to have a measurable conversion product resulting from the conversion by thrombin. Determination of the amount of conversion product leads to determination of the ETP. The choice of activator determines whether the effect is measured on the intrinsic or extrinsic clotting system, making it possible to determine the effect of the pharmaceutical, which is being analyzed, on various parts of the clotting mechanism.
摘要:
A method for the determination of a protease inhibitor using a protease which can be inhibited by this inhibitor, and using a substrate for this protease, is described, in which initially a liquid containing the protease inhibitor and the substrate are mixed, then the protease is added, and the rate of hydrolysis of the substrate is determined.
摘要:
The invention pertains to a mucopolysaccharide fraction obtainable from heparin or from fractions including heparinic constituents of molecular weights from 2,000 to 50,000, which has a Yin-Wessler titer which is high relative to the USP titer. It contains components whose molecular weights are less than 10,000, particularly oligosaccharides in the area of 2,000-3,000, comprising from 8 to 12, notably 10 monosaccharide units, among which glucosamine units whose primary positions are sulphated. The last mentioned oligosaccharides include one N-acetyl-glucosamine unit per two units of 2-0-sulphate iduronic acid and per two N-sulphate-glucosamine units, the other saccharide units being of a different nature and including distinct substituents.
