The angiogenic pathway 'vascular endothelial growth factor/flk-I (KDR)-receptor' in rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis
(2001)Active angiogenesis, together with an up-regulation of angiogenic factors, is evident in the synovium of both rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and osteoarthritis (OA). The present study assessed, by immunohistochemistry, the ... -
Association of interleukin-1A, interleukin-1B and interleukin-1 receptor antagonist gene polymorphisms with multiple myeloma
(2007)Interleukin-1 (IL-1) is a cytokine involved in the maturation and proliferation of B cells and plays a significant role in the development of lytic bone lesions, a major clinical feature of multiple myeloma (MM) patients. ... -
Autoimmune hepatitis type 1 and primary biliary cirrhosis have distinct bone marrow cytokine production
(2005)We have recently reported differences in the hematopoiesis between autoimmune hepatitis type I (AIH-1) and primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC). In view of the notion that cytokines are regulators of hematopoiesis, we investigated ... -
Calcipotriol monotherapy versus calcipotriol plus UVA1 versus calcipotriol plus narrow-band UVB in the treatment of psoriasis
(2005)The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of calcipotriol ointment as monotherapy versus calcipotriol in combination with narrow-band ultraviolet (UV)-B or UVA1 phototherapy and to determine whether calcipotriol ... -
Dexamethasone decreases the transmesothelial electrical resistance of the parietal and visceral pleura
(2009)The effect of dexamethasone on the transmesothelial electrical resistance (R (TM)) of sheep pleura was investigated by Ussing chamber experiments. Our results show that dexamethasone decreases the R (TM) of sheep pleurae, ... -
Enthesitis in psoriatic arthritis
(2013)Objectives: It is increasingly recognized that enthesitis in patients with psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is of clinical importance. We review data on the detection, assessment, and treatment of enthesitis and its related ... -
Infliximab and Methotrexate in the Treatment of Rheumatoid Arthritis: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Dosage Regimens
(2008)Background: Because of its long-term effectiveness in clinical practice, methotrexate (MTX) is currently the preferred disease-modifying antirheumatic drug (DMARD) for patients with active rheumatoid arthritis (RA). However, ... -
Influence of Interleukin 1 alpha (IL-1 alpha), IL-4, and IL-6 Polymorphisms on Genetic Susceptibility to Chronic Osteomyelitis
(2008)The association between cytokine gene polymorphisms and chronic osteomyelitis was investigated in order to determine whether genetic variability in cytokine genes predisposes to osteomyelitis susceptibility. Significant ... -
Leptin and adiponectin responses in overweight inactive elderly following resistance training and detraining are intensity related
(2005)Context: Adiponectin and leptin are closely related to weight control and energy balance, whereas exercise affects elderly metabolic regulation and functional capacity. Objective: The objective of this study was to investigate ... -
A model for predicting feed intake of growing animals during exposure to pathogens
(2006)A general model is proposed for predicting the effects of subdinical pathogen challenges of different doses and virulence on the relative feed intake (RFI) of animals. The RFI is defined as the feed intake (FI, kg/d) of ... -
Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) in inflammatory bowel disease: association with pathophysiology of inflammation, established markers, and disease activity
(2012)Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) is a multi-potent 25-kDa protein mainly secreted by neutrophils. In inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), overexpression of NGAL in colon epithelium has been previously shown. ... -
Perilipin-1 in Hemodialyzed Patients: Association With History of Coronary Heart Disease and Lipid Profile
(2012)Perilipin-1 surrounds lipid droplets in both adipocytes and in atheroma plaque foam cells and controls access of lipases to the lipid core. In hemodialysis (HD) patients, dyslipidemia, malnutrition, inflammation and ... -
Predictive role of cytokine gene polymorphisms for the development of femoral head osteonecrosis
(2012)Introduction: Osteonecrosis (ON) is a multifactorial disease that leads to hip destruction. Lately, much focus has been at femoral head preservation with nonsurgical methods. In this study we examined the polymorphisms of ... -
A review of the postulated mechanisms concerning the association of Helicobacter pylori with ischemic heart disease
(2007)Since its discovery, Helicobacter pylori has been implicated in the pathogenesis of several diseases, both digestive and extradigestive. interestingly, the majority of the extradigestive-related literature is focused on ... -
Rheumatoid arthritis response to treatment across IgG1 allotype - anti-TNF incompatibility: a case-only study
(2015)Introduction: We have hypothesized that incompatibility between the G1m genotype of the patient and the G1m1 and G1m17 allotypes carried by infliximab (INX) and adalimumab (ADM) could decrease the efficacy of these anti-tumor ... -
Role of Adipokines and Other Inflammatory Mediators in Gestational Diabetes Mellitus and Previous Gestational Diabetes Mellitus
(2012)Previous Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (pGDM) is a common condition and has been associated with future development of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) and Metabolic Syndrome (MS) in women affected. The pathogenesis and ... -
The role of leptin in the respiratory system: an overview
(2010)Since its cloning in 1994, leptin has emerged in the literature as a pleiotropic hormone whose actions extend from immune system homeostasis to reproduction and angiogenesis. Recent investigations have identified the lung ... -
The role of obesity in the immune response during sepsis
(2014)BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Sepsis is one of the most important causes of mortality in the developed world, where almost two-thirds of the population suffer from obesity. Therefore, the coexistence of both conditions has become ...
