    摘要: A method having clinically sufficient degree of diagnostic accuracy for detecting the presence of coronary artery disease in a human patient from the general population and for distinguishing between the stages of the disease in that patient is disclosed. The stages are, first, the non-acute stage, which is either asymptomatic coronary artery disease or stable angina, second, the acute stage known as unstable angina, and, third, the acute stage known as acute myocardial infarction. The diseased state (as opposed to the non-diseased state) is indicated by the clinically significant presence of a first marker in a sample from the patient. The presence of one of the two acute stages, unstable angina or acute myocardial infarction, is indicated by the clinically significant presence of a second marker in a sample from the patient. The presence of the more severe acute stage known as acute myocardial infarction is indicated by the clinically significant presence of a third marker in a sample from the patient. Preferably the first marker comprises OxLDL, the second marker comprises MDA-modified LDL, and the third marker is a troponin. Preferably the OxLDL and MDA-modified LDL are detected using monoclonal antibodies that can detect the presence of those markers in undiluted human plasma at concentrations as low as 0.02 milligrams/deciliter.

    摘要: This invention provides novel assays that are prognostic and/or diagnostic for atherosclerosis or risk of atherosclerosis. It was discovered that high density lipoprotein (HDL) or components thereof can prevent the oxidation of lipids (e.g. lipids present in LDLs) and can also repair (reduce) already oxidized lipids and thereby reduce the inflammatory response associated with and characteristic of atherosclerotic plaque formation. Moreover it was a discovery of this invention that individuals vary in the ability of their HDL to afford such protection. Thus an assay of HDL protective and/or repair activity provides a highly effective assay for risk of atherosclerosis and its associated pathologies and such assays are provided herein.

    摘要: The present invention is directed to a method of detecting a corticosteroid in a sample by adding an internal standard to a sample suspected of containing a corticosteroid; removing interfering compounds from the sample; placing the sample on an HPLC column equilibrated with a NH4OAc:MeOH solution and collecting an eluent; and analyzing the eluent of the HPLC column with a MS, wherein if contained in the sample, the corticosteroid forms an adduct that is detected by the MS.

    摘要: The invention presents a method designed to simultaneously measure certain unsaturated lipids and certain vitamins present either as single substances or in complex mixtures such as exist in serum and natural oils. Target lipids are free cholesterol, unsaturated cholesteryl esters; free polyunsaturated fatty acids, and their esters as triglycerides, and phospholipids. Distributions of these analytes over the broad range of serum lipoproteins from chylomicrons to high density fractions are determined using a procedure that involves a single step reaction in which the molecular unsaturations are subjected to non-enzymatic color inducing reagents. For natural oils and vitamins, the same method serves as a quality control procedure. Analytical detection is achieved using broad spectrum absorbance and/or fluorescence measurements. Measured spectra are aggregates of the absorbance contributions from each of the analytes. Data analyses follow two paths. One uses raw spectral data. In the other, multivariate methods of analysis, particularly principal component (or factor) analysis, leads to 2-D and 3-D clustering correlations which have significant diagnostics capabilities for the early detection of human serum disorders and for quality control.
