The role of protein Z and protein Z-dependent protease ınhibitor polymorphisms in the development of prosthetic heart valve thrombosis
(2017)
BACKGROUND AND AIM OF THE STUDY: Protein Z (PZ) is a vitamin K-dependent factor that is synthesized mainly by the liver. It acts as an activator of serpin, the protein Z-dependent inhibitor (ZPI), which inhibits factor Xa. ...
Nitric oxide is a potential mediator of hepatic inflammation and fibrogenesis in autoimmune hepatitis
(Informa Healthcare, 2015)
Background. Despite advances in the understanding of the pathophysiological basis of autoimmune hepatitis (AIH), it is still difficult to delineate the mechanisms involved in progression from hepatic inflammation toward ...
XRCC4 rs6869366 polymorphism is associated with susceptibility to both nicotine dependence and/or schizophrenia
(Universidade de Sao Paulo, 2018)
Background: Oxidative stress induced DNA damage has been assumed to contribute to the etiopathogenesis of schizophrenia (Sch). Smoking prevalence was more common in patients with Sch. The X-ray repair cross-complementation ...
Effect of monoamine oxidase B A644G variant on nicotine dependence and/or schizophrenia risk
(Universidade de Sao Paulo, 2019)
Objectives Schizophrenia (Sch) is a severe and chronic mental illness. Smoking prevalence is higher in patients with Sch than general population. We aimed to investigate the effects of MAOB gene A644G variant on nicotine ...
Presence of fragmented QRS is associated with increased epicardial adipose tissue thickness in hypertensive patients
(John Wiley and Sons Inc., 2019)
Background: Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) is a cardiometabolic risk factor, and its possible relationship with hypertension has been reported previously. Fragmented QRS (fQRS) detected on electrocardiography (ECG) has ...
Assessment of endothelial dysfunction with adhesion molecules in patients with celiac disease
(Lippincott Williams and Wilkins, 2016)
Objectives: Celiac disease (CD) is a systemic immune disorder. We assessed serum levels of adhesion molecules as a marker of endothelial dysfunction in patients with CD at first diagnosis and in those on a glutenfree diet. ...
Diagnostic values of proenkephalin and S100B protein in traumatic brain injury
(Walter de Gruyter GmbH, 2017)
Background: The primary aim of this study was to investigate the diagnostic values of serum S100 calciumbinding protein B (S100B) and proenkephalin (P-ENK) levels in brain damage caused by traumatic brain injury (TBI). ...
Role of ischemia-modified albumin in clinical practice
(Walter de Gruyter GmbH, 2015)
Difficulty in establishing a diagnosis of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) in the clinical setting has led researchers to investigate novel markers that show increased blood levels before the myocardial necrosis occurs. In ...
Presepsin (sCD14-ST) as a biomarker of sepsis in clinical practice and in emergency department: A mini review
(Walter de Gruyter GmbH, 2015)
Presepsin is a 13-kDa protein that is a fragment of CD14 with truncated N-terminal, the receptor for lipopolysaccharide (LPS)/LPS-binding protein complexes. It is a novel marker being sought in many diseases such as sepsis, ...
High prevalence of Hashimoto's thyroiditis in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome: Does the imbalance between estradiol and progesterone play a role?
(Taylor and Francis Ltd, 2015)
Objective: Some similar factors, such as genetic susceptibility and subinflammation/autoimmunity, contribute to development of both polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and Hashimoto’s thyroiditis (HT), suggesting a potential ...
