Abstract: A method for determining a human subject's risk of developing acute kidney injury (AKI) from acute myocardial infarction (AMI) includes: obtaining a blood sample; determining at least two miRNA expression levels therein, which are selected from miR-23a-3p, miR-24-3p, and miR-145-5p expression levels; calculating probability of developing AKI from AMI based on the at least two miRNA expression levels and a logistic regression model; comparing the probability with a predetermined standard; and determining that the human subject is at the risk of developing AKI when the probability is higher than the predetermined standard. A composition may be administered to the human subject for inhibiting development of AKI, if any.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method of determining whether a subject has or is at risk of developing a cancer. The method comprises, obtaining a sample from the subject; determining the levels of at least two target polypeptides, which are selected from the group consisting of, ANXA2, HSPA5, KNG1 and MMP1; and assessing whether the subject has or is at risk of developing the cancer based on the levels of target polypeptides. The present method provides a potential means to diagnose and predict the occurrence of oral squamous cell carcinoma, and accordingly, the subject in need thereof could receive a suitable therapeutic regimen in time.

Abstract: Embodiments relate to serological markers for detecting the colorectal cancer and applications of the serological markers. A phospholipid scramblase1 (PLSCR1), a stomatin-like protein 2 (STOML2) or a transport protein Sec61? (SEC61?) increases expression in the blood at the earlier stage of the colorectal cancer. Detecting the expression of the PLSCR1, STOML2 or SEC61? protein or an induced autoantibody of each protein in a blood sample is used to diagnose the colorectal cancer. Moreover, the serological marker improves the detection efficiency and the sensitivity in detecting the colorectal cancer and is used to predict the prognosis. The serological markers are applied in preparing a detection device or inhibiting the growth of the colorectal cancer cells.

Abstract: A urinary biomarker for urinary tract cancers and applications of the same are revealed. TACSTD2 is used as a non-invasive urinary biomarker for urinary tract cancers due to a feature that the TACSTD2 protein is increased significantly in urine of patients with urinary tract cancers. The quantitative urinary biomarker shows high specificity and high sensitivity for urinary tract cancer detection. Besides increasing screening efficiency, early diagnosis and early treatment of urinary tract cancers, the biomarker can also be used to assess malignancy of urinary tract cancers and monitor tumor progression for determining optimal treatment against the disease and improving the treatment results.
