Is clara cell protein ( CC16 ) , a marker of lung epithelial injury , decreased in plasma and pulmonary edema fluid from patients with acute lung injury?
CC16 is a promising diagnostic biomarker for helping to discriminate ALI from CPE. Larger scale validation is warranted to better characterize the utility of CC16 in the diagnosis of this underrecognized syndrome.
In this population-based sample of older individuals, genetic variations in ACE seem to be important both for late-life major depression and dementia.
