Metabonomic signature analysis in plasma samples of glioma patients based on (1)H-nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy.

Objective: The presence of a glioma is associated with increasing mortality. In this study, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) based metabonomics has been applied to investigate the metabolic signatures of a glioma in plasma. The purpose of this study was to assess the diagnostic potential of this approach and gain novel insights into the metabolism of glioma and its systemic effects.

Association of the plasma and tissue riboflavin levels with C20orf54 expression in cervical lesions and its relationship to HPV16 infection.

Riboflavin deficiency can cause a variety of metabolic problems that lead to skin and mucosal disorders. Limited evidence suggests that high intake of riboflavin may reduce overall risks of cancer. However, association of this deficiency with cervical cancer and precancerous lesions are still not definitively known.
