Abstract

Ovarian cancer remains a highly lethal disease. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the usefulness of measuring serum matrix metalloproteinase-7 (MMP-7), CC chemokine ligand 18 (CCL18) and CC chemokine ligand 11 (CCL11) in comparison with serum cancer antigen 125 (CA 125) for diagnosis of epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). This study included 51 patients with EOC, 27 patients with benign ovarian lesions and 29 healthy volunteers. Serum CA 125 was determined by microparticle enzyme immunoassay, while serum MMP-7, CCL18 and CCL11 were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The sensitivity and specificity were 86.3% and 92.9% for CA 125, 80.4% and 87.5% for MMP-7, 84.3% and 91.1% for CCL18 and, 68.6% and 62.5% for CCL11. Combination of CA 125, MMP-7, CCL18 and CCL11 gave a promising sensitivity of 100%, but specificity was decreased to 60.7%. The combined use of serum CA 125, MMP-7, CCL18 and CCL11 effectively detected early stages EOC with high sensitivity of 94.4%. Our data indicate that serum MMP-7, CCL18 and CCL11, in combination with CA 125 could be useful in diagnosis of EOC.

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
