Cystatin C predicts cognitive decline in multiple system atrophy: A 1-year prospective cohort study
BackgroundAccumulating evidence has suggested that cystatin C is associated with cognitive impairment in patients with neurodegenerative diseases. However, the association between cystatin C and cognitive decline in patients with multiple system atrophy (

Circulating cathepsin K and cystatin C in patients with cancer related bone disease: Clinical and therapeutic implications [PDF]
The clinical significance of serum cathepsin K and cystatin C was assessed in patients with breast cancer (BCa) or prostate cancer (PCa) with confined disease (M0) or bone metastasis (BM).

GFR Estimation After Cystatin C Reference Material Change
Introduction: Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is routinely estimated with cystatin C. In June 2010, the International Federation of Clinical Chemistry (IFCC) released a certified cystatin C reference material (ERM-DA471/IFCC), and new cystatin C ...

Serum Cystatin C as a Biomarker in Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma
Elevated serum levels of cystatin C are found to be related to poor outcome and metastatic potential of some malignant disorders. To evaluate the clinical prominence of serum cystatin C in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), blood samples were ...

Expression and role of cystatin C in hyperthermia-induced brain injury in rats
Cystatin C, the full name of cystatin C, is one of the most potent cathepsin inhibitors currently known, which can strongly inhibit cathepsin in lysosomes and regulate the level of intracellular proteolysis. Cystatin C plays a very broad role in the body.

Spectroscopy of the hidden-charm $[qc][\bar q \bar c]$ and $[sc][\bar s \bar c]$ tetraquarks [PDF]
We calculate the spectrum of $q\bar q c \bar c$ and $s\bar s c \bar c$ tetraquarks, where $q$, $s$ and $c$ stand for light ($u,d$), strange and charm quarks, respectively, in a relativized diquark model, characterized by one-gluon-exchange (OGE) plus confining potential.

Renal extraction of cystatin C [PDF]
Cystatin C is considered as a new marker of glomerular filtration rate (GFR). However, studies on its renal physiological handling are lacking [1], making the study of van Rossum et al. interesting [2]. Nevertheless, we have some comments. Firstly, as contrast injection may induce acute variation in intrarenal haemodynamics, it would be of interest to ...

Diagnostic and prognostic ability of urinary NGAL in patients with cirrhosis and AKI. Abstract Background and Aims Acute kidney injury (AKI) commonly occurs in patients with decompensated cirrhosis. Urinary neutrophil gelatinaseāassociated lipocalin (uNGAL) could help discriminate between different etiologies of AKI.

Genetic control of plasticity of oil yield for combined abiotic stresses using a joint approach of crop modeling and genome-wide association [PDF]
Understanding the genetic basis of phenotypic plasticity is crucial for predicting and managing climate change effects on wild plants and crops. Here, we combined crop modeling and quantitative genetics to study the genetic control of oil yield plasticity for multiple abiotic stresses in sunflower. First we developed stress indicators to characterize
