An Association Study between Hypoxia Inducible Factor-1alpha (HIF-1 alpha) Polymorphisms and Osteonecrosis
(2013)Bone hypoxia resulting from impaired blood flow is the final pathway for the development of osteonecrosis (ON). The aim of this study was to evaluate if HIF-1 alpha, the major transcription factor triggered by hypoxia, is ... -
Clinical significance of the fluctuation of primary biliary cirrhosis-related autoantibodies during the course of the disease
(2013)Primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) is a chronic cholestatic disease characterized by the presence of antimitochondrial antibodies (AMA). PBC-specific antinuclear antibodies (ANA) have been characterized and associated with ... -
Congenital hip disease in adults TERMINOLOGY, CLASSIFICATION, PRE-OPERATIVE PLANNING AND MANAGEMENT
(2010)This paper reviews the current knowledge relating to the management of adult patients with congenital hip disease. Orthopaedic surgeons who treat these patients with a total hip replacement should be familiar with the ... -
Diagnostic and clinical significance of anti-centromere antibodies in primary biliary cirrhosis
(2013)Primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) is an autoimmune disease of the liver characterised by biochemical evidence of cholestasis, elevated alkaline phosphatase levels and the presence of the highly disease specific anti-mitochondrial ... -
Diagnostic relevance and clinical significance of the new enhanced performance M2 (MIT3) ELISA for the detection of IgA and IgG antimitochondrial antibodies in primary biliary cirrhosis
(2007)Background/aims: Antimitochondrial antibodies (AMAs) are the serological hallmark of primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC). We evaluated the sensitivity and specificity of a new M2 enhanced performance enzyme-linked immunosorbent ... -
Effect of hepatitis C virus on immunological and virological responses in HIV-infected patients initiating highly active antiretroviral therapy: a meta-analysis
(2013)Co-infection of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) with hepatitis C virus (HCV) is rather common. In the era of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART), viral hepatitis could result in adverse outcomes in HIV+ patients. ... -
Entecavir monotherapy for lamivudine-refractory chronic hepatitis B
(2008)Evaluation of: Sherman M, Yurdaidin C, Simsek H et al. Entecavir therapy for lamivudine-refractory chronic hepatitis B: improved virologic, biochemical and serology outcomes through 96 weeks. Hepatology 48, 99-108 (2008). ... -
Free vascularized fibular grafting following failed core decompression for femoral head osteonecrosis
(2007)The results of treatment of femoral head osteonecrosis with free vascularized fibular g-rafting (FVFG) following failed core decompression (core decompression-FVFG [CD-FVFG] group: 32 hips) were reviewed and compared with ... -
Hip osteoarthritis: What the radiologist wants to know
(2007)Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common disease of the hip joint seen in adults. The diagnosis of OA is based on a combination of radiographic findings of joint degeneration and characteristic subjective symptoms. The lack ... -
Impact of HIV Type 1 DNA Levels on Spontaneous Disease Progression: A Meta-Analysis
(2012)Several studies have reported the prognostic strength of HIV-1 DNA with variable results however. The aims of the current study were to estimate more accurately the ability of HIV-1 DNA to predict progression of HIV-1 ... -
Microbial mimics are major targets of crossreactivity with human pyruvate dehydrogenase in primary biliary cirrhosis
(2004)Background/Aims: Previous studies on patients with primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) have shown extensive cross-reactivity between the dominant B- and T-cell epitopes of human pyruvate dehydrogenase complex-E2 (PDC-E2), and ... -
Pegylated interferon-based treatment in patients with advanced liver disease due to chronic delta hepatitis
(2012)Background/aims: The safety and efficacy of interferons in advanced delta hepatitis have not been explored. The aim of this subanalysis of a multi-center clinical trial was to compare the efficacy and safety of 48 weeks ... -
Primary biliary cirrhosis-specific autoantibodies in first degree relatives of Greek primary biliary cirrhosis patients
(2012)AIM: To determine the prevalence and significance of primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC)-specific autoantibodies in first-degree relatives (FDRS) of Greek PBC patients. METHODS: The presence of antimitochondrial antibodies ... -
Reliability and validity of the Hartofilakidis classification system of congenital hip disease in adults
(2009)The reliability and validity of the Hartofilakidis et al. classification system in adults with congenital hip disease (CHD) were examined. The radiographs of 102 adult patients (158 hips) with CHD were independently assessed ... -
The role of MR imaging in scaphoid disorders
(2007)The scaphoid bone of the wrist is one of the most commonly fractured bones in the body. Due to its importance in the biomechanics and functionality of the wrist, it is important to depict and characterize the type of injury. ... -
Sequence variation analysis of the E2 gene of human papilloma virus type 16 in cervical lesions from women in Greece
(2012)The E2 gene of human papilloma virus is expressed at the early stage of the viral life cycle, encoding the E2 transcription factor, and regulates the expression of E6 and E7 oncogenes. Disruption of E2 gene due to viral ... -
