Cytokines are a type of small molecule proteins with broad biological activities that are synthesized and secreted by immune cells (such as monocytes, macrophages, T cells, B cells, NK cells, etc.) and certain non-immune cells (endothelial cells, epithelial cells, fibroblasts, etc.) upon stimulation. 1. Gram-negative (G-) and Gram-positive (G+) bacterial infections can be differentiated Cytokines ...
1. How can vitamin D deficiency impact overall well-being? ♣ Vitamin D deficiency rickets (nutritional rickets) Vitamin D deficiency during childhood can lead to rickets in children, causing growth delays and skeletal deformities. Essentially, Vitamin D deficiency rickets is a form of osteomalacia. The onset of this condition is gradual, often occurring in infants between the ages of 3 month...
1. The necessity of developing cytokines in the Department of Hematology In the treatment of some diseases, such as bloodstream infection, hemophagocytic syndrome (HLH), leukemia, sepsis, etc., the inflammatory response status of patients is mostly detected, so cytokine detection plays an important role in the selection, adjustment and prognosis evaluation of treatment regimens. ⇔Hemophagocyt...
Cytokines are a general term for a class of small molecule polypeptides or glycoproteins with extensive biological activity synthesized and secreted by immune cells or some non-immune cells, which have the functions of regulating the body's immune function, mediating inflammatory responses, participating in tissue repair, and promoting wound healing. In the development of tumor diseases, cytokines...
In vitro diagnostics (IVD), refers to products and services that obtain clinical diagnostic information by testing human samples (various body fluids, cells, tissue samples, etc.) outside the human body, and then judge diseases or body functions. In vitro diagnostics is known as the "doctor's eye" in the medical field, and is an important part of modern laboratory medicine, and its clinical ...
The paramount importance of chemiluminescence technology—a mainstream technique in immunodiagnostics—in the field of In Vitro Diagnostics (IVD) is self-evident. However, in the current highly competitive environment, technological innovation remains the core competitiveness of enterprises. Breaking through the traditional barriers of chemiluminescence and forging new paths is the inevi...
Platelet activation plays a crucial role in primary hemostasis, which is the initial step in the physiological repair mechanism to prevent further bleeding when blood vessel walls are damaged. Platelet activation involves three processes: platelet adhesion, aggregation, and secretion. These processes lead to the formation of a platelet plug at the site of vessel injury, which is essential for prim...
Thyroid function abnormalities primarily encompass two conditions: Hypothyroidism (commonly referred to as "hypothyroid") and Hyperthyroidism (commonly referred to as "hyperthyroid"). Thyroid function testing plays a vital role in early detection of thyroid diseases and is one of the essential components of a health-up. Thyroid function abnormalities can give rise to various health issues. ...
