Joint association of complement component 3 and CC-cytokine ligand2 (CCL2) or complement component 3 and CFH polymorphisms in age-related macular degeneration
(2017)
Background: To determine the joint effect of complement component 3(C3 R102G) with CC-cytokine ligand2 (CCL2-2518) or complement factor H (CFH) Y402H polymorphisms on advanced age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Methods: ...

(2006)
Background: To investigate the efficacy of posterior subtenon methylprednisolone acetate injection in treatment of refractory diffuse clinically significant diabetic macular edema (CSME). Methods: In a prospective, ...
Evaluation of CC-cytokine ligand 2 and complementary factor H Y402H polymorphisms and their interactional association with age-related macular degeneration.
(2016)
To evaluate the association of CC-cytokine ligand 2 CCL2-2518 (rs1024611) single nucleotide polymorphism, complement factor H (CFH Y402H) and their possible interaction in developing advanced age-related macular degeneration ...
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 ...
Association of polymorphisms in complement component 3 with age-related macular degeneration in an Iranian population.
Age related macular degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of irreversible blindness in the elderly population. Inflammatory mediators play an important role in AMD pathogenesis and immune-related gene polymorphisms are ...
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 ...
Osteoprotegerin and soluble receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappa B ligand in exudative age-related macular degeneration
(2014)
Calcification and inflammation are among the important cases of exudative age-related macular degeneration (E-ARMD). The aim of the present study was to elucidate if there is any relationship between serum Osteoprotegerin ...
