Apolipoprotein A polymorphysm predicts lipoprotein A concentration in renal transplant recipients
(2005)
Increased serum lipoprotein(a) is an independent risk factor for atherosclerosis in renal transplant recipients. Higher levels may be due to genetic factors, for example, apolipoprotein A isoforms and/or environmental ...
Klotho and Endothelin-1 in Pseudoexfoliation Syndrome and Glaucoma.
(2016)
Klotho is a newly discovered protein that presumably has an important role in the aging process. The goal of this research is to compare the levels of Klotho and Endothelin-1 (ET-1) in the serum and aqueous humor of patients ...
A double-blind randomized comparative study of triamcinolone hexacetonide and dexamethasone intra-articular injection for the treatment of knee joint arthritis in rheumatoid arthritis.
(2016)
Intra-articular glucocorticoid (GC) injection has been used for more than half a century in the treatment of refractory synovitis in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). There are limited data about the efficacy of ...
Growth Arrest-specific 6 Protein and Matrix Gla Protein in Hemodialysis Patients.
(2015)
Plasma protein growth arrest-specific 6 (GAS6) and matrix Gla protein (MGP) are crucial mediators of vascular calcification and are involved in the development of vascular complications in chronic kidney diseases. This ...
Calcium dobesilate reduces endothelin-1 and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein serum levels in patients with diabetic retinopathy.
(2013)
To determine the benefits of calcium dobesilate (CaD) administration on endothelial function and inflammatory status in patients with diabetic retinopathy through measurement of serum levels of endothelin-1 and high-sensitivity ...
Oxidative DNA damage and total antioxidant status in glaucoma patients.
(2011)
To evaluate DNA damage markers and the antioxidant status of serum and aqueous humor in glaucoma patients.Aqueous humor and serum samples were obtained at the time of surgery from 28 patients with glaucoma and 27 patients ...
Influence of chemotherapy on the lipid peroxidation and antioxidant status in patients with acute myeloid leukemia.
(2012)
Chemotherapeutic agents used in patients with cancer cause to generate the enormous amounts of free radicals associated with cell injury. In this study we assess the effects of chemotherapy regimen on oxidant/antioxidant ...
The effect of Helicobacter pylori treatment on remission of idiopathic central serous chorioretinopathy.
(2011)
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) treatment on remission of idiopathic central serous chorioretinopathy.Twenty-five patients with idiopathic central serous chorioretinopathy ...
Plasma oxidized LDL and thiol-containing molecules in patients with exudative age-related macular degeneration.
(2010)
It was proposed that total thiols (tSH) as powerful reducing agents and oxidized low-density lipoprotein (OX-LDL) may be associated with development of choroidal neovascularization in exudative age-related macular degeneration ...
Aqueous humor hepcidin prohormone levels in patients with primary open angle glaucoma.
(2010)
This study was designed to evaluate the levels of Interleukin-6 (IL6) and Hepcidin prohormone (Hep) in the serum and aqueous humor of patients with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG), as well as those with senile cataract ...
