microRNA alterations are involved in bladder cancer tumorigenesis. The aim of the current study was to evaluate the potential role of miR‐100 and miR‐138 as prognostic biomarkers in Ta/T1 non‐muscle‐invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC). We assessed a quantitative RT‐PCR analysis of miR‐100 and miR‐138 in 50 bladder tumor samples (stage Ta/T1) and four healthy adjacent tissues. Western blot analysis was...
Two quite different disc contents are used for antimicrobial susceptibility testing of two fluoroquinolone drugs, flumequine and enrofloxacin, in the disc diffusion test, 30 and 5 µg, respectively. Using the SRA method, single‐strain regression analysis, we studied the impact of disc content when testing two relevant bacterial species, Aeromonas sobria and Vibrio anguillarum. There were no major differences...
Microfibrillar‐associated protein 4 (MFAP4) is a non‐structural matrix protein with cell regulatory activities and a potential as seromarker for fibrosis. We aimed to study the occurrence of MFAP4 in the synovial membrane from patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) vs osteoarthritis (OA). Formaldehyde‐fixed synovial tissue sections, from patients with RA (N = 6) and OA (N = 6) undergoing total hip...
Necrotizing soft tissue infections (NSTIs) are associated with high morbidity and mortality and are increasing in incidence. Proper identification of the microbial causes of NSTIs is a crucial step in diagnosis and treatment, but the majority of data collected are culture based, which is biased against fastidious organisms, including obligate anaerobes. The goal of this study was to address this gap...
Toll‐like receptors (TLRs) are involved in colorectal cancer (CRC) pathogenesis. However, the significance of serum TLR concentrations in CRC is unknown. We analyzed serum TLR2 and TLR4 concentrations with ELISA in preoperative samples from 118 patients with CRC and 88 matched controls. We also assessed tissue TLR expression with immunohistochemistry and by detecting serum determinants of systemic...
This study aimed to investigate the expression of programmed death receptor ligand 1 (PD‐L1) and deficient mismatch repair (dMMR) in ductal adenocarcinoma of the prostate. A tissue microarray of 32 ductal and 42 grade‐matched acinar adenocarcinomas was used. Slides were stained for PD‐L1, PD‐L2, MMR proteins, CD4 and CD8. PD‐L1 expression in tumor cells was only seen in 3% (1/34) of ductal and 5%...
