  • Publication number: 20210388448
    Abstract: A method is disclosed for determining prognosis for a patient suffering from follicular lymphoma, that determines the amount of miR-31 in a biological sample taken from the body of the patient, and assigns the patient to a prognostic group based on the determined amount of miR-31, wherein the prognostic groups and the threshold values for assignment to the prognostic groups are obtained by analyzing the amount of miR-31 in biological samples of patients with known prognosis. In the biological sample taken from the patient, the miR-31 expression may be determined along with the expression of an endogenous control, which is a small nuclear RNA or stably expressed miRNA, and, in case of absolute quantification, the expression of synthetic standards of these miRNAs and endogenous controls of known number of molecules are determined. The method allows the assignment of patients to prognostic groups by determining miR-31 expression.

  • Patent number: 10138554
    Abstract: A method of plasma treatment of an internal and/or external surface of a hollow electrically non-conductive body. The internal surface of the body and/or its external surface acts a layer of electrical plasma of a surface dielectric barrier discharge generated in a volume of gas by alternating or pulse voltage with an amplitude higher than 100 V from a pair of liquid electrodes formed by an internal electrically conductive liquid situated inside the body and by an external electrically conductive liquid situated outside the body. The electrical plasma is generated above the surface of the electrically conductive liquid, where in the volume of the gas forms a layer of electrical plasma forming a ring copying the shape of the surface of the body wherein the electrical resistance between the liquid electrodes is greater than 10 k?. The invention also is a device for carrying out the aforementioned method.
