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 ...
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 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...
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...
1. What is KL-6? KL-6 is recognized as a valid indicator of lung injury and pulmonary fibrosis, and is expressed on the surface of type II alveolar epithelial cells, in normal lung tissue and terminal bronchiolar epithelial cells. It is expressed in very small amounts, and is enhanced in degenerative (proliferating, regenerating, or damaged) type II alveolar epithelial cells, which is directly rel...
POCT is indeed an important direction for the future development of the IVD industry and has broad prospects. Let me elaborate on the advantages and development trends of POCT for you: 1. Efficient and convenient detection mode POCT adopts a distributed, real-time detection mode, similar to the resource allocation method of online car-hailing, which greatly improves the detection efficiency and re...
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...
