A near-infrared spectrophotometric system (e.g., a cerebral oximeter) includes a sensor portion and a monitor portion. The monitor portion includes a processor that runs an algorithm which utilizes the amount of detected light to determine the value of the oxygen concentration (e.g., the absolute level of oxygen concentration).

Up and down signal levels in a wireless base station and a forward base station can be automatically adjusted into predetermined levels respectively with a simple configuration. In an interface portion 12, a pilot signal P of a predetermined level is generated by a pilot signal generator 120, and multiplexed with a down transmission signal 111 from a wireless base station 11 by a multiplexer 121. The multiplexed signal is amplified with a constant gain by a down signal amplifier 122, then converted into a down optical signal by an electro-optic converter 123, wavelength-multiplexed by an optical multi/demultiplexer 124, sent out to an optical fiber 15, and transmitted to a forward base station 13. In the forward base station 13, the down optical signal wavelength-demultiplexed by an optical multi/demultiplexer 124 is converted into a down electric signal by an opto-electric converter 125, and the pilot signal P is demultiplexed by a demultiplexer 133. A gain control unit 130 detects an absolute level of the pilot signal P, and outputs a gain control signal G1 to set the level value at a predetermined rated value. A down signal gain variable amplifier 134 and an up signal gain variable amplifier 136 amplify the down transmission signal and the up reception signal respectively with a gain controlled by the gain control signal G1.

Micro-organisms which over-produce ATPase, especially mycoplasmas in a sample of a cell culture, are detected by making use of the ATPase activity to convert cellular or externally added ATP to ADP. The decrease in ATP externally added or the increase or absolute level of ADP produced from cellular ATP can then be detected or measured. For example, if a reagent such as phosphenol pyruvate/pyruvate kinase is added to convert that ADP back to ATP, the resulting high level of ATP can be detected bioluminescently using the reaction: Luciferin+luciferase enzyme+ATP→hv+products.

Methods and compositions are provided for diagnosing an abnormal early pregnancy in a mammalian subject by contacting a biological sample of the subject with a reagent that enables measurement of certain biomarker targets, e.g., human placental lactogen (hPL) and/or human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG). In one embodiment, the mRNA of these biomarkers is measured in a biological sample, e.g., serum. The absolute levels of mRNA or protein levels, a ratio of mRNA to protein levels, or a pattern of multiple biomarker mRNA and/or protein levels or ratios are measured and a relation to the ratio or pattern of expression levels of the same biomarkers in the same biological fluid of a reference or control female mammalian subject having a normal intrauterine pregnancy (IUP) is determined.

Various reagents for use in kits and panels for such diagnosis include PCR primer-probe sets or ligands, labeled or immobilized, which are capable of detecting the changes in expression or translation of these biomarker targets.
