Prostaglandin E-major urinary metabolite diagnoses mucosal healing in patients with ulcerative colitis in remission phase. [PDF]
AbstractBackground and AimUlcerative colitis (UC) is usually detected by clinical symptoms, such as bleeding and diarrhea; however, it is rather difficult to assess during asymptomatic clinical remission (CR). Hence, there is a need for a biomarker that can reliably detect UC during remission.

Prognostic implications of prostaglandin E-major urinary metabolite in resected non-small-cell lung cancer. [PDF]
AbstractOBJECTIVESCyclooxygenase-2-derived prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) is highly involved in the promotion of cancer progression. The end product of this pathway, PGE-major urinary metabolite (PGE-MUM), is a stable metabolite of PGE2 that can be assessed non-invasively and repeatedly in urine samples. The aim of this study was to assess the dynamic changes

Prostaglandin E-Major Urinary Metabolite (PGE-MUM) as a Tumor Marker for Lung Adenocarcinoma. [PDF]
Background: Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) is metabolized to prostaglandin E-major urinary metabolite (PGE-MUM). Enhanced cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) expression demonstrated in lung adenocarcinoma indicates increased PGE-MUM levels in patients with lung adenocarcinoma. Objectives: We aimed to elucidate the clinical usefulness of measuring PGE-MUM as an indicator

Prostaglandin E-Major Urinary Metabolite Predicts Relapse in Patients With Ulcerative Colitis in Clinical Remission. [PDF]
INTRODUCTION:Prostaglandin E-major urinary metabolite (PGE-MUM) is a novel biomarker reflecting endoscopic activity in ulcerative colitis (UC). However, there are no studies investigating the efficacy of PGE-MUM as a biomarker for predicting relapse. We investigated whether PGE-MUM can predict clinical relapse of UC.METHODS:The measurement of PGE-MUM ...

Predicting Ulcerative Colitis Relapse in Clinical Remission With Fecal Immunochemical Occult Blood Test or Prostaglandin E-Major Urinary Metabolite. [PDF]
INTRODUCTION: The fecal immunochemical occult blood test (FIT) and prostaglandin E-major urinary metabolite (PGE-MUM) have been reported to predict the relapse of ulcerative colitis (UC) during remission. In this study, we directly compared FIT and PGE-MUM in predicting relapse and examined the effect of disease duration on ...

Evaluation of a Chemiluminescent Enzyme Immunoassay for the Detection of Prostaglandin E-Major Urinary Metabolite (PGE-MUM). [PDF]
ABSTRACTBackgroundWe developed a fully automated quantitative immunoassay for the detection of prostaglandin E‐major urinary metabolite (PGE‐MUM). In this study, we evaluated the analytical performance of this assay.MethodsSensitivity, within‐run reproducibility, correlation with radioimmunoassay (RIA), cross‐reactivity, dilution linearity, spike ...

Increased levels of prostaglandin E-major urinary metabolite (PGE-MUM) in active mesenteric panniculitis patients: A case report. [PDF]
Mesenteric panniculitis (MP) is a rare disease with abdominal and systemic symptoms and is characterized by nonspecific inflammation, fat necrosis, and fibrosis in mesenteric fat. Active inflammatory responses may increase levels of prostaglandin E-major urinary metabolite (PGE-MUM), which was reported to reflect the disease activity of ulcerative ...

Determining the Treatment Strategy for Refractory Ulcerative Colitis Using Prostaglandin E-major Urinary Metabolite (PGE-MUM) Measurement. [PDF]
Prostaglandin E-major urinary metabolite (PGE-MUM) is a valuable biomarker reflecting the cytokine profile. We encountered a case of a 14-year-old boy with pan-colitis-type ulcerative colitis who was unresponsive to steroids and infliximab. The patient's clinical symptoms gradually deteriorated and surgical treatment was strongly considered because ...

Significant increase of prostaglandin E-major urinary metabolite in male smokers: a screening study of age and gender differences using a simple radioimmunoassay. [PDF]
BackgroundFor the assessment of inflammatory status, we have developed a simple, reliable radioimmunoassay (RIA) of prostaglandin E‐major urinary metabolite (PGE‐MUM), which remains stable in urine after it is metabolized. Using this method, we conducted a screening study to compare standard values of PGE‐MUM to serum C‐reactive protein (CRP) levels in
