Nowadays, the problem of AMR has become increasingly serious, and some bacteria have reached the brink of no suitable antimicrobials available. Rapid detection of AMR and level quantification are the prerequisites to control the spread of AMR. Although time-consuming, traditional phenotype-based methods are still the primary methods used in clinical laboratories and are regarded as the gold standard for AMR identification. To offset the limitation of the long turnaround time of phenotype-based methods, molecular detection methods such as polymerase chain reaction (PCR), isothermal amplification, high-throughput sequencing, gene microarray, and mass spectrometry have begun to be widely used and served as important complements to phenotype-based methods.

PTH enhances calcium reabsorption while inhibiting phosphate reabsorption in the kidneys, increases the synthesis of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D, which then increases gastrointestinal absorption of calcium, and increases bone resorption to increase calcium and phosphate. Parathyroid disease can be an isolated endocrine disorder or part of a complex syndrome. Genetic mutations can account for diseases of parathyroid gland formulation, dysregulation of parathyroid hormone synthesis or secretion, and destruction of the parathyroid glands. Over the years, a number of different options are available for the treatment of different types of parathyroid disease. Therapeutic options include surgical removal of hypersecreting parathyroid tissue, administration of parathyroid hormone, vitamin D, activated vitamin D, calcium, phosphate binders, calcium-sensing receptor, and vitamin D receptor activators to name a few. The accurate assessment of parathyroid hormone also provides essential biochemical information to properly diagnose parathyroid disease. Currently available immunoassays may overestimate or underestimate bioactive parathyroid hormone because of interferences from truncated parathyroid hormone fragments, phosphorylation of parathyroid hormone, and oxidation of amino acids of parathyroid hormone.</p>","PeriodicalId":50872,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Clinical Chemistry","volume":"101 ","pages":"41-93"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/bs.acc.2020.06.005","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"25466210","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These detection approaches reduce the window of infection, i.e., the period between infection and reliable detection. Optimally, these methods should target protein as an indicator of pathogenic microbes as well as other biomarkers. For example, although nucleic acid is easily detected by polymerase chain reaction (PCR), these markers are also present in dead microbes, and, in the case of mRNA, it is not known whether this target was successfully translated. Accordingly, early diagnostic approaches require the development of ultrasensitive protein detection methods. In this chapter, we introduce an ultrasensitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) which combines a traditional sandwich-based immunoassay with thionicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (thio-NAD) cycling.

The relatively recent introduction of salivary diagnostics has lead to a major paradigm shift in diagnostic analyses. Additionally, in this era of big data, oral fluid testing has shown promising outcomes in a number of fields, particularly the areas of genomics, microbiomics, proteomics, metabolomics, and transcriptomics. Despite the analytical challenges involved in the interpretation of large datasets generated from biochemical studies involving bodily fluids, including saliva, many studies have identified novel oral biomarkers for diagnosing oral and systemic diseases. In this regard, oral biofluids, including saliva, gingival crevicular fluid (GCF), peri-implant crevicular fluid (PICF), dentinal tubular fluid (DTF), are now attracting increasing attention due to their important attributes, such as noninvasive sampling, easy handling, low cost, and more accurate diagnosis of oral diseases. Recently, the utilization of salivary diagnostics to evaluate systemic diseases and monitor general health has increased in popularity among clinicians. Saliva contains a wide range of protein, DNA and RNA biomarkers, which assist in the diagnosis of multiple diseases and conditions, including cancer, cardiovascular diseases (CVD), auto-immune and degenerative diseases, respiratory infections, oral diseases, and microbial (viral, bacterial and fungal) diseases. Moreover, due to its noninvasive nature and ease-of-adoption by children, it is now being used in mass screening programs, oral health-related studies and clinical trials in support of the development of therapeutic agents. The recent advent of highly sensitive technologies, such as next-generation sequencing, mass spectrometry, highly sensitives ELISAs, and homogeneous immunoassays, suggests that even small quantities of salivary biomarkers are able to be assayed accurately, providing opportunities for the development of many future diagnostic applications (including emerging technologies, such as point-of-care and rapid molecular technologies).
