Abstract

Human body fluids are regarded as desirable sources for biological markers due to the fact the altered protein expression profiles reflect the change of physiological states and cell networks of the diseased tissue or organ. Owning to several advantages including low invasiveness, low cost and rapid sample collection and processing makes the evaluation of human body fluid has become one of the most promosing approaches in disease diagnosis and prognosis to discover biomarkers or reveal pathophysiological mechanisms for human disease. Surface tension is a surface characteristics that related to the forces of molecules residing at the interface. The presence of surface-active substance in biological or body fluids which adsorb at interface influences the norm surface tension value. Such the changes indicate valuable signs in the medical field particularly in pathological states.
