Question: To establish a single-tube single-run multiplex PCR technique that can detect single or mixed samples with four species of Plasmodium.', 'Folding primers were designed based on the fast nested PCR. The reaction component concentrations were optimized and the primers were selected based on the annealing temperature. The established single-tube single-run folding-primer multiplex PCR (FP-PCR) was tested for its sensitivity and specificity to detect single-species and mixed samples with P. vivax, P. falciparum, P. ovale (including P. ovale wallikeri) and/or P. malariae.', 'In all the seven experimental repeats, FP-PCR successfully detected single-species infection for all the four species, with the detection limit reaching or close to 1 parasite/l blood. For mixed infections with 2-4 species at different densities with the highest being 100 times of the lowest, FP-PCR identified all the species in each combination in 57 out of 84 tests. Further, in 10 dried blood samples on filter paper from healthy subjects, no FP-PCR amplification was found, except weak formation of dimers.

Answer: Does [ Single-tube Single-run Multiplex PCR detect Mixed Samples with Four Species of Plasmodium ]?

Question: Prevention of intraabdominal abscess formation constitutes an important goal in treatment of secondary peritonitis. Fibrinolytic therapy may be effective in this respect. The efficacy of recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rtPA) and urokinase is compared in a preclinical model for surgical treatment of peritonitis.', 'Peritonitis was induced by intraperitoneal bacterial challenge in male Wistar rats. After 1 hour, surgery was performed. Four groups (n = 20) were treated with one of the following: rtPA, urokinase, streptokinase (a negative protein control), or saline. Blood cultures were taken at 6 and 24 hours; cell counts and cytokine measurements were performed in peritoneal fluid at 1, 3 and 5 days. After 5 days, animals were killed and intraperitoneal abscess formation was analyzed.', 'Both rtPA and urokinase strongly (> 75%) and significantly (P < .05) reduced abscess formation without negative side effects. No bleeding complications were observed. Fibrinolytic therapy altered the intraperitoneal cellular distribution (less neutrophils and more macrophages) but did not essentially alter the courses of interleukin-6 and interleukin-10 (decreasing in time) or tumor necrosis factor-* (increasing in time) levels.

Answer: Do both tissue-type plasminogen activator and urokinase prevent intraabdominal abscess formation after surgical treatment of peritonitis in the rat?

Question: To examine whether the elevated preoperative plasma D-dimer levels show correlation with chemoresistance and poor prognosis in serous ovarian cancer patients.', 'Preoperative plasma D-dimer levels were measured in 125 patients with primary serous ovarian cancer (SOC).The correlations of plasma D-dimer levels with clinicopathological features, chemotherapeutic response, and survival outcome were further analyzed. Kaplan-Meier estimates were used to compute the survival functions and were compared using log-rank tests. Cox proportional-hazard regression analysis was used to evaluate the effects of D-dimer on progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS), controlling for potential confounding factors.', 'The median follow-up period was 49 (range 5-85) months. Elevated plasma D-dimer levels were positively associated with advanced FIGO stage (P = 0.010), residual tumor size (P = 0.017), the presence of malignant ascites (P = 0.028), increased serum CA125 level (P = 0.014), and neo-adjuvant chemotherapy (P = 0.008). The patients with elevated plasma D-dimer levels had significantly higher chemoresistance rates (56.41 %) compared to the normal plasma D-dimer levels (20.93 %). Additionally, it was found by the univariate analysis that elevated plasma D-dimer levels were closely related with a low 5-year PFS rate (28.21 vs 52.33 %, P = 0.002) and a poor 5-year OS (30.77 vs 63.95 %, P < 0.001). However, after adjustment for other factors, high plasma D-dimer levels were only closely correlated with a poor 5-year OS (HR 1.901, 95 % CI 1.021-3.540; P = 0.043).

Answer:
Is elevated preoperative plasma D-dimer level a useful predictor of chemoresistance and poor disease outcome for serous ovarian cancer patients?
