Project description:This study is an analysis of the Bern perioperative Biobank, a prospective cohort of adults who underwent cardiac surgery with the use of cardiopulmonary bypass at Bern University Hospital between January and December 2019. Blood samples were taken at induction of anaesthesia and on postoperative day one.

Project description:Hepatocellular carcinoma samples were obtained after patients provided written informed consent and with the approval of the institutional research ethics board at the Liver Cancer Institute of Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University (Shanghai, China). Fresh tumor tissues were implanted in NOD/SCID mice. Tumor lines were successfully maintained through multiple rounds of serial transplantation. We used microarrays to evaluate the expression similarity between patient tumor and patient-derived xenograft (PDX).

Project description:This experiment comprises 283 CEL files generated on the Affymetrix U133 Plus 2.0 gene expression microarray platform, using patient peripheral blood and bone marrow samples from the first cohort of patients accrued to Children's Oncology Group Study AALL0232. No clinical covariate data is provided at this time as the clinical study is not yet published. Researchers who would like to request outcome or other covariate data are asked to contact Dr. Cheryl Willman, cwillman@unm.edu, 505.272.5622 (University of New Mexico) and Dr. Steven Hunger, Stephen.Hunger@childrenscolorado.org (Children's Oncology Group and Children's Hospital Colorado) to arrange a collaboration.
Project description:While the majority of infants infected with respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) exhibit mild or no symptoms, approximately 3 million children under the age of five are hospitalized every year due to complications from RSV. This research sought to explore the biological processes and related biomarkers responsible for the varied manifestations of RSV disease in young infants. The goal is to pave the way for a more precise categorization of RSV-infected infants based on their medical requirements. Whole blood samples are collected from infant case-control cohort study, the RESCEU case-control cohort is a multinational, multicenter, observational study (clinical trial registration number: NCT03756766). Infants < 12 months old with RSV disease were recruited from the University Medical Center Utrecht (UMCU) in The Netherlands, Hospital Clínico Universitario de Santiago (SERGAS) in Spain, Imperial College (IMPERIAL) National Health Service Trust (NHS) and Oxford University Hospital NHS Trust (OXFORD) in the United Kingdom during the RSV seasons 2017-2018, 2018-2019, and 2019-2020. Healthy controls without underlying comorbidities were recruited outside of the RSV season. Eligibility criteria included hospitalization for less than 48 hours at enrolment or within 96 hours of disease onset, no previous receipt of medications to treat RSV infection, no prior exposure to an investigational RSV vaccine or medication, no previous receipt of immunoglobulins or monoclonal antibodies, and had not used montelukast or oral steroids within seven days before enrolment. Infants with co-morbidities were not evaluated in the manuscript. RSV was detected using RSV point-of-care test (POCT) by either a rapid antigen detection test (Alere I) (Alere Inc, Waltham, Massachusetts) or rapid RSV polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test at the hospital setting, or a RSV PCR test at the laboratory. Convalescence samples were collected 7 ±1 weeks after a positive RSV diagnostic test result. We used microarray to assist us to identify biomarkers for severe RSV disease.
