Clinical Significance of Circulating Osteopontin Levels in Patients With Lung Cancer and Correlation With VEGF and MMP-9
(2016)Osteopontin (OPN) is a multifunctional cytokine involved in carcinogenesis. Serum levels of OPN, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), and matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) were measured by ELISA in 90 lung cancer ... -
Could IFN-γ predict the development of residual pleural thickening in tuberculous pleurisy?
(2008)Could IFN-γ predict the development of residual pleural thickening tuberculous pleurisy? I. Gerogianni, M. Papala, P. Tsopa, P. Zigoulis, A. Dimoulis, K. Kostikas, T. Kiropoulos, KI Gourgoulianis. Background. The aim of ... -
Discrimination of exudative pleural effusions based on multiple biological parameters
(2007)Pleural effusion is a common complication of various diseases. Conventional methods are not always capable of establishing the cause of pleural effusion, so alternative tests are needed. The aim of this study was to explore ... -
Effect of single dose irradiation on human glioblastoma spheroids in vitro
(2004)Investigation of the predictive value of a radiosurgery-relevant treatment of glioblastoma spheroids. Organotypic multicellular spheroids were cultured and irradiated (20 Gy). Morphology, apoptosis and immunohistochemical ... -
Expression and prognostic significance of VEGF and mTOR pathway proteins in metastatic renal cell carcinoma patients: a prognostic immunohistochemical profile for kidney cancer patients
(2017)Purpose: To identify prognostic molecular profiles in patients with mRCC treated with sunitinib, we performed immunohistochemical analysis for VEGF and PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway components. Methods: The immunohistochemical ... -
Guidelines for the Management of Wet Age-Related Macular Degeneration: Recommendations from a Panel of Greek Experts
(2016)Purpose: To propose guidelines for the management of patients with wet age-related macular degeneration (wAMD), taking into account the results of large multicenter studies and clinical experience of retina experts. Method: ... -
Hypoxia-inducible factor 1-alpha and vascular endothelial growth factor in cartilage tumors
(2019)Neoangiogenesis has been demonstrated in chondrosarcoma. Anti-angiogenic therapies are being tested in clinical trials for chondrosarcomas. Studies of the underlying mechanisms have been performed almost exclusively in ... -
Platelets in Systemic Sclerosis: the Missing Link Connecting Vasculopathy, Autoimmunity, and Fibrosis?
(2019)Purpose of Review: Platelets are no longer recognized solely as cell fragments regulating hemostasis. They have pleiotropic functions and they are linked directly or indirectly with the three cornerstones of systemic ... -
Quality-adjusted life years in macular oedema due to age-related macular degeneration, diabetes and central retinal vein occlusion: the impact of anti-VEGF agents in a tertiary centre in Greece
(2022)Introduction: Neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD), diabetic macular oedema (DME), and macular oedema due to central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO) are leading causes of vision loss, currently managed with ... -
Role of VEGFs in metabolic disorders
(2020)Obesity and metabolic disorders are important public health problems. In this review, the role of vasculature network and VEGF in the adipose tissue maintenance and supplementation is discussed. Angiogenesis is a key process ... -
Serum VEGF levels are related to the presence of pulmonary arterial hypertension in systemic sclerosis
(2009)Background: The association between systemic sclerosis and pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is well recognized. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) has been reported to play an important role in pulmonary ... -
Short-term hypoxia triggers ROS and SAFB mediated nuclear matrix and mRNA splicing remodeling
(2022)The cellular response to hypoxia, in addition to HIF-dependent transcriptional reprogramming, also involves less characterized transcription-independent processes, such as alternative splicing of the VEGFA transcript leading ... -
Systematic review and meta-analysis of vascular endothelial growth factor as a biomarker for malignant pleural effusions
(2016)Conventional methods may fail to identify the cause of pleural effusion (PE), thus establishing reliable biomarkers is deemed necessary. This study aimed at examining the role of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) ...
