Fabrication of a high-sensitivity electrochemical immunosensor by the oriented immobilization of engineered nanobody on nanofibrous membrane.

A new type of label-free electrochemical immunosensor for the high-sensitivity determination of parathion was developed based on the oriented immobilization of nanobody (VHH9) on a gold nanoparticle-loaded polyvinyl alcohol/citric acid nanofiber membrane-modified electrode. The morphology characterization and assembly process of the modified materials were investigated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Under the optimum conditions, the label-free electrochemical immunosensor for parathion exhibited a linear range of 0.

FAM3C in circulating tumor-derived extracellular vesicles promotes non-small cell lung cancer growth in secondary sites.

: Metastasis is a complex process with a molecular underpinning that remains unclear. We hypothesize that cargo proteins conducted by extracellular vesicles (EVs) released from tumors may confer growth and metastasis potential on recipient cells. Here, we report that a cytokine-like secreted protein, FAM3C, contributes to late-stage lung tumor progression.

[A de novo partial 5p deletion and cryptic 18p duplication detected by SNP-Array in a boy featuring Cri du Chat syndrome].

Objective: To determine the karyotype of a boy suspected to have Cri du Chat syndrome with severe clinical manifestations, and to assess the recurrence risk for his family.

Methods: High-resolution GTG banding was performed to analyze the patient and his parents. Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) with Cri du Chat syndrome region probe as well as subregional probes mapped to 5pter, 5qter, 18pter, 18qter, and whole chromosome painting probe 18 was performed to analyze the patient and his parents.

[Study on the detection of P. gingivalis, A. actinomycetemcomitans and T. denticola and the correlation between coinfections of the microbes and levels of chronic periodontitis lesion].

Objective: To establish a 16S rDNA multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for simultaneously detecting P. gingivalis, A. actinomycetemcomitans and T.
