Objective: To explore association between serum albumin level and cognitive performance in elderly Chinese. Methods: All the subjects aged ≥65 years in the 8 longevity areas in Chinese longitudinal health longevity survey (CLHLS) were invited to participate the biomedical indepth CLHLS study,

In this study, the ageing males' symptoms (AMS) scale was translated into Chinese following methodological recommendations for linguistic and cultural adaptation. This study aimed to confirm the reliability, validation and applicability of the simplified Chinese version of the scale (CN-AMS) in

OBJECTIVE Physicians aim to either prevent HCC by treating the underlying cause or to diagnose it at its earliest, clinically-observable stages by surveillance, for maximal treatment benefit. Surveillance depends predominantly on radiological screening and less satisfactorily on AFP blood tests. We

OBJECTIVE To determine the pharmacokinetics (PK) of vancomycin in Chinese infant patients using a population pharmacokinetic (PKK) approach in order to provide support for individualized vancomycin therapy. METHODS The data included 72 sets of steady-state peak and trough serum concentrations from

We report the results of biochemical and genetic studies in a Chinese family with familial dysalbuminaemic hyperthyroxinaemia. Total thyroxine levels were 1.2 to 1.7 times the upper limit of the reference range and free thyroxine levels were 1.2 to 1.6 times the upper reference limit. Concentrations

Serum immunoglobulin levels (IgA, IgG and IgM) were determined by an immunoelectrophoretic method in two separate series of Chinese male schizophrenics and healthy controls. In the first series, 41 healthy male blood donors and 98 schizophrenic patients in different stages of the disease were

Between January 1985 and May 1990, 16 neonates were treated for meconium ileus (MI) at this hospital. All babies were born to Chinese couples. Seven of them were premature, but none of them weighed less than 1,000 g. Eight patients underwent operations either because of mistaken diagnosis, as ileal

Urine albumin (Alb), total protein (TP) and creatinine (Cr) concentrations and the activities of N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidase (NAG), alanine aminopeptidase (AAP) and gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT) were measured in untimed random urine samples from 157 non-insulin-dependent (NIDDM) diabetic

Alpinetin (7-hydroxy-5-methoxyflavanone), one of the main constituents from the seeds of Alpinia katsumadai Hayata, belongs to flavonoids with its usefulness as antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and other important therapeutic activities of significant potency and low systemic toxicity. In this

Objective: The aim of this study was to explore the tolerance, variability, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of albumin-bound paclitaxel (QL, HR, ZDTQ) among Chinese breast cancer patients. Methods: Three randomized, open-label, two-period crossover bioequivalence studies were conducted with

OBJECTIVE To examine the association between serum albumin and cognitive impairment and decline in community-living older adults. METHODS Population-based cohort study, followed up to 2 years; serum albumin, apolipoprotein E (APOE)-epsilon4, and cognitive impairment measured at baseline and

To elucidate the potential factors modulating exposure to aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) in three Chinese populations, an epidemiologic study was conducted in Fusui County and Nanning City of Guangxi Province and Chengdu City of Sichuan Province. The incidence rates of hepatocelluar carcinoma (HCC) for males

BACKGROUND Analysis of tear proteins is of diagnostic value for abnormal ocular conditions such as dry eye syndrome. Many studies of tear proteins have been performed on Caucasian subjects. However, little is known about these proteins in Chinese eyes. METHODS The total tear protein concentrations

Urinary excretion of five low molecular weight proteins (LMWP) [beta 2-microglobulin (beta 2m), cystatin C (cyst C), Clara cell protein (CC16), retinol-binding protein (RBP) and alpha 1-microglobulin (alpha 1m)], albumin and N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidase (NAG) were quantified in 16 patients who
