A Cardiac Troponin T Biosensor Based on Aptamer Self-assembling on Gold.

In this study, a sensitive and accurate aptasensor was designed for early detection of myocardial infarction through the determination of troponin T (TnT). The successful immobilization of a specific aptamer sequence on the surface of gold that had a high affinity toward TnT was accomplished. TnT was electrochemically quantified. The results indicated that the aptasensor detected TnT in a range of...

Clinical observation of the efficacy of low-molecular-weight heparin calcium in prophylaxis of the deep venous thrombosis following the gynecological tumor surgery.

Present study is conducted to investigate the efficacy and safety of application of low-molecular-weight heparin calcium in the prophylaxis of deep venous thrombosis (DVT) following the laparoscopic surgery for gynecological tumors, so as to provide reference for the selection of anti-coagulant procedure in clinical practice. A total of 180 patients who underwent the laparoscopic surgery for the g...
