What are Cardiac troponins? Cardiac troponins are proteins found in cardiac (heart) muscle cells. They play a crucial role in regulating the contraction of the heart muscle. When heart muscle cells are damaged, such as during a heart attack or other cardiac injury, cardiac troponins are released into the bloodstream. Therefore, measuring the levels of cardiac troponins in the blood can help diagno...
Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) is commonly utilized for guiding diabetes management and diagnosis, as blood sampling can be done at any time of day, the levels are consistent, and the assays are standardized (Ford CN, Leet RW, Kipling LM, et al. , 2019). And it shows your average blood sugar level for the past 4 to 6 weeks. In general, the reference range for glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) in healthy individ...
1. Molecular detection Whether it is variable temperature PCR or isothermal amplification, fluorescence is the main detection method. After the luminescent group on the fluorescent probe is cut off, it is no longer in a quenched state and fluoresces under excitation. 2. Indirect immunofluorescence A more typical product is a self-exempt test In addition, this method is also used for the detection ...
1、What is Preeclampsia? Preeclampsia, is a hypertensive disorder of pregnancy that can cause systemic multi-organ damage to pregnant women, which is mainly manifested as hypertension and high protein in the urine (systolic blood pressure ≥ 140mmHg, diastolic blood pressure ≥90mmHg) and high protein in the urine (0.3g/24h). It is one of the leading causes of maternal death, preterm birth, neo...
1. Understanding Thyroid Function A normal thyroid gland is important for the body's growth, behavior, and psychological and neurological development. The main function of the thyroid gland is to produce, store, and secrete thyroid hormones (TH), including thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3), and is regulated by the hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid axis. TH has a role in regulating mood, brain ...

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...
♣ Vitamin B12, also known as adenosylcobalamin or cyanocobalamin, is an essential water-soluble vitamin. It plays a key role in the body, including maintaining the normal function of the nervous system, promoting the production of red blood cells, and supporting DNA synthesis. The main difference between active B12 and B12 lies in their chemical forms and bioavailability. 1. Chemical form: B...
Cytokines are small molecule polypeptides or glycoproteins secreted by a variety of cells that play an important role in the development, differentiation and functional regulation of immune cells, and the autoregulatory network of the body's immune function system depends on the balance of pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines. 1. Systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis Systemic juv...
