Mr-Proadm Elevation Upon Icu Admission Predicts the Outcome of Septic Patients and is Correlated with Upcoming Fluid Overload.
2017
IF 3.113; International audience; Background: Among septic patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU), early recognition of those with the highest risk of death is of paramount importance. We evaluated the prognostic value of Procalcitonin (PCT), mid regional-proadrenomedullin (MR-proADM), copeptine and CT-proendothelin 1 (CT-ProET 1) concentrations. Methods: This was a prospective cohort study, which included 173 septic patient admitted to one ICU. Blood samples for biomarker measure-ments were obtained upon admission and on day 5. The predictive value of each biomarker regarding the risk of death at day 28 was assessed. The fluid balance was evaluated from admission to day 5. Resu…
Synthetic Glycopeptides from the Mucin Family as Potential Tools in Cancer Immunotherapy
2006
Compared to glycoproteins of healthy cells, glycoproteins of tumor cells are often aberrantly glycosylated. Thus, glycopeptide fragments of surface glycoproteins of tumor cells are of interest as tumor-associated antigens for the distinction between normal and tumor cells. Cancer immunotherapy directed at selectively targeting these tumor-associated glycoprotein structure alterations--deficient glycosylation and, thus, exposure of peptide epitopes which are masked in normal cells--is considered a promising approach for the treatment of cancer. For this purpose, glycoproteins from the mucin family are of particular interest. Mucins belong to a class of heavily O-glycosylated, high-molecular …
