Abstract: A method for estimating a risk for a subject suffering from encapsulating peritoneal sclerosis is provided, including measuring an expression level of at least one microRNA from a sample of the subject, and the microRNA is selected from miR-17, miR-100, miR-155, miR-202, miR-422a, and miR-483; comparing the expression level of the microRNA in the sample to that of a same miRNA of a control, when the expression level of miRNA in the sample is lower than that of the control, the subject is estimated having the risk of encapsulating peritoneal sclerosis. A kit for estimating a risk for a subject suffering from encapsulating peritoneal sclerosis is also provided, including at least one agent for identifying the at least one microRNA as above mentioned from the sample of the subject.

Abstract: A kit for detecting urothelial carcinoma is provided. The kit includes at least one primer or probe for detecting one or more miRNAs, and the one or more miRNAs are selected from the group consisting of miR-19b-1, miR-636, miR-150, miR-155, miR-183, miR-378, miR-210, miR-487, and combinations thereof. A method for detecting urothelial carcinoma is also provided. The method includes detecting the expression level(s) of one or more miRNAs in a sample of a subject, and the one or more miRNAs are selected from the group consisting of miR-19b-1, miR-636, miR-150, miR-155, miR-183, miR-378, miR-210, miR-487, and combinations thereof.

Abstract: The present invention provides an analyzer for predicting a prognosis of cancer radiotherapy, including a detection device and an arithmetic device. In a specimen, expression levels of a plurality of microRNAs (miRNAs) can be detected by the detection device. The miRNAs includes hsa-miR-130a-3p, hsa-miR-215-5p, hsa-miR-29a-3p, hsa-let-7b-5p, hsa-miR-19b-3p, hsa-miR-374a-5p and hsa-miR-148a-3p. The expression levels of miRNAs can be analyzed by the arithmetic device using logistic regression, and the analyzed values can be used to determine that the prognosis of cancer radiotherapy is poor or good.

Abstract: A method for estimating a risk for a subject suffering from an urothelial carcinoma is provided, including measuring an expression level of at least one miRNA in a sample of the subject, and the miRNA is selected from miR-1274, miR-19a, miR-30, and miR-708; and comparing the expression level of the same miRNA in the sample to that of a control for estimating whether the subject has the risk of suffering from the urothelial carcinoma or not. A kit for estimating a risk for a subject suffering from an urothelial carcinoma is also provided, including at least one reagent for detecting an expression level of at least one miRNA as above mentioned in a sample of the subject.
