Does comparison of hemoglobin A1C result by two different methods on patients with structural hemoglobin variants?
The Bio-Rad Variant and Bayer DCA 2000 produce equivalent hemoglobin A1C results on patients with S, C, and E trait. With appropriate correction, correlation of hemoglobin A1C results from the Bio-Rad Variant for individuals with D trait was good (r = 0.927). Glycohemoglobin results obtained by the two methods for some unusual structural hemoglobin variants were in close agreement.
AP-1 inhibited expression of MMP-2/9 and AP-1 siRNA was able to effectively inhibit the proliferation, migration and de-differentiation of rat smooth muscle cells.
