The hemostatic mechanism is very important for achieving a vital self-defense. The blood-clotting-time is the test to examine coagulation reaction, including both the extrinsic and intrinsic coagulation systems, whether...
Oxysterols, cholesterol oxidation products, have been important markers for various diseases. For example, it is suggested that 24S-hydroxycholesterol, 27-hydroxycholesterol and 7-ketocholesterol can be used as a marker...
We compared different factors to explore an association between melatonin and sleep quality. In 26 healthy young women, we measured the salivary melatonin concentration, and used the Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI)...
Against infection, neutrophils form phagosomes in which microorganisms are absorbed by phagocytosis. Then, from the azurophilic granules of neutrophils, Myeloperoxidase (MPO) and granule components are released. In this...
Recently, in addition to accuracy and reliability, clinical laboratories have also been under pressure to produce results with speed around the clock, A novel automated coagulation analyzer, Coapresta 2000 (CP2000: Sekis...
Blood clotting time tests using an automated coagulation analyzer−ACL TOP series, STACIA−
The hemostatic mechanism is very important for achieving a vital self-defense. The blood-clotting-time is the test to examine coagulation reaction, including both the extrinsic and intrinsic coagulation systems, whether...
High sensitive determination of oxysterols in human plasma using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS)
Oxysterols, cholesterol oxidation products, have been important markers for various diseases. For example, it is suggested that 24S-hydroxycholesterol, 27-hydroxycholesterol and 7-ketocholesterol can be used as a marker...
Sleep quality and mental stress influence salivary melatonin concentrations
We compared different factors to explore an association between melatonin and sleep quality. In 26 healthy young women, we measured the salivary melatonin concentration, and used the Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI)...
MPO release reaction against activated neutrophils
Against infection, neutrophils form phagosomes in which microorganisms are absorbed by phagocytosis. Then, from the azurophilic granules of neutrophils, Myeloperoxidase (MPO) and granule components are released. In this...
Basic examination of an automated coagulation analyzer, Coapresta 2000, and introduction to 24-hour emergency service
Recently, in addition to accuracy and reliability, clinical laboratories have also been under pressure to produce results with speed around the clock, A novel automated coagulation analyzer, Coapresta 2000 (CP2000: Sekis...
