Serum CA125 and NSE: Biomarkers of disease severity in patients with silicosis

Serum Neuron-Specific Enolase, Biogenic Amino-Acids and Neurobehavioral Function in Lead-Exposed Workers from Lead-Acid Battery Manufacturing Process

“…Originated from the brain, NSE is a protein commonly used to assess the presence and severity of neurological injury. 35 Higher levels of serum NSE reported in patients with silicosis, 36 mercury intoxication, 37 pneumoconiosis, 38 and those exposed to chromium 9 and carbon-monoxide 39 . Lower levels of serum NSE were reported in workers exposed to organic solvents, 8 and patients with major depressive and bipolar affective disorders.…”

In vitroselection of DNA aptamers for the development of chemiluminescence aptasensor for neuron-specific enolase (NSE) detection

“…4,5 Usually, the concentration of NSE is relatively low in human serum (<13 ng mL À1 ), 6 and the sample amount is also very limited. 7 In addition, the earlier the SCLC is diagnosed, a signicantly improved in the ve-year survival rate of the patients is observed. 8 Although the immunological method, like enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), is a widely used method for NSE detection.…”

Association of pulmonary sequestration with elevated serum cancer antigen 125 levels: a case report

“…Measuring CA125 levels has also been used to monitor treatment outcomes. 11,14 Pulmonary sequestration is poorly studied for such a frequent condition and an association with serum CA125 levels has rarely been reported. To better assess this case, we performed a literature search of the PubMed database (NCBI, Bethesda, MD, USA) to identify related published works, using "pulmonary sequestration" and "CA125" as keywords.…”
