    • Diagnostic accuracy of biomarkers of oxidative stress in parapneumonic pleural effusions 

      Tsilioni, I.; Kostikas, K.; Kalomenidis, I.; Oikonomidi, S.; Tsolaki, V.; Minas, M.; Gourgoulianis, K. I.; Kiropoulos, T. S. (2011)
      P>Background The imbalance between oxidants and antioxidants is referred to as oxidative stress and has been associated with various respiratory disorders. The aim of this study was the assessment of 8-isoprostane (8-iso-PGF(2 ...

    • Low glucose level and low pH alter the electrochemical function of human parietal pleura 

      Kouritas, V. K.; Hatzoglou, C.; Foroulis, C. N.; Hevas, A.; Gourgoulianis, K. I.; Molyvdas, P. A. (2007)
      The aim of the present study was to investigate whether low glucose and pH level, which are usually measured in complicated pleural effusions, alter the electrochemical function of healthy human parietal pleura. Parietal ...

    • Matrix Metalloproteinase Levels in the Differentiation of Parapneumonic Pleural Effusions 

      Oikonomidi, S.; Kostikas, K.; Kalomenidis, I.; Tsilioni, I.; Daenas, C.; Gourgoulianis, K. I.; Kiropoulos, T. S. (2010)
      Background: Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) have been implicated in the escalation of fibrosis and remodeling which are central to the subsequent progression of a parapneumonic pleural effusion to empyema. Objectives: The ...
