(2013)INTRODUCTION: Resistance to chemotherapy poses a major problem in cancer patients. Although of multifactorial origin, some of the implicated mechanisms also interfere with Tc-MIBI uptake and retention in cancer cells. The ... -
Acute phase protein and antioxidant responses in dogs with experimental acute monocytic ehrlichiosis treated with rifampicin
(2016)There is currently lack of information on the changes of acute phase proteins (APP) and antioxidant markers and their clinical relevance as treatment response indicators in canine monocytic ehrlichiosis (CME). The objective ... -
Alcoholic liver disease and autoimmune hepatitis: Sometimes a closer look under the surface is needed
(2021)Aims: Differential diagnosis of autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) incorporates various liver diseases, including alcoholic liver disease (ALD). We report on clinical, laboratory and outcome characteristics of AIH patients who ... -
Alpha-actinin: A multidisciplinary protein with important role in B-cell driven autoimmunity
(2011)Alpha-actinin (α-actinin) is a ubiquitous cytoskeletal protein, which belongs to the superfamily of filamentous actin (F-actin) crosslinking proteins. It is present in multiple subcellular regions of both muscle and ... -
Anti-PD1 Immunotherapy for Metastatic Renal Cancer Boosted Humoral Immunity in a Hemodialysis Patient
(2021)Immune checkpoint inhibitors by blocking specific inhibitory pathways induce T-cell-mediated tumor lysis. However, many remain to be elucidated about their effect on human humoral immunity. We evaluated the effect of the ... -

Association of FCGR2A with the response to infliximab treatment of patients with rheumatoid arthritis
(2014)OBJECTIVES: We aimed to assess a functional polymorphism in FCGR2A H131R, for association with the treatment response to Fc-containing inhibitors of tumor necrosis factor (TNF). METHODS: A total of 429 biologic-naive ... -
Association of Pathology Markers with Somatostatin Analogue Responsiveness in Acromegaly
(2022)Background. Somatotroph adenomas (SAs) exhibit a variable responsiveness to somatostatin analogue (SS-a) treatment, a process that is not well understood. We investigated established and novel histological markers as ... -
Autoimmune hepatitis in patients with multiple sclerosis: The role of immunomodulatory treatment
(2019)Background: Development of autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) has been sporadically reported in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) either concurrently or after treatment with immunomodulatory drugs, including interferon-beta ... -
Belimumab is a promising third-line treatment option for refractory autoimmune hepatitis
(2020)Background & Aims: Autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) is a disease of unknown aetiology with a favourable response to immunosuppression. However, in the clinic, it appears that <50% of patients achieve complete response on standard ... -
Biologics in SAPHO syndrome: A systematic review
(2019)Background: The SAPHO syndrome is a relatively rare clinical entity characterized by a wide range of dermatological and musculoskeletal manifestations. Biologics have been used in cases refractory to conventional treatment. ... -
