8-Isoprostane levels in serum and bronchoalveolar lavage in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and sarcoidosis
Malli, F.; Bardaka, F.; Tsilioni, I.; Karetsi, E.; Gourgoulianis, K. I.; Daniil, Z. (2013)Objective and design: Sarcoidosis and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) are both associated with deregulated inflammatory mechanisms partially triggered by aggravated oxidative stress. 8-Isoprostane has been proposed as ... -
Concurrent Sarcoidosis and Melanoma: Coexistence More than by Chance?
Malli, F.; Gourgoulianis, K. I.; Daniil, Z. (2010) -
Endothelial Progenitor Cells in the Pathogenesis of Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis: An Evolving Concept
Malli, F.; Koutsokera, A.; Paraskeva, E.; Zakynthinos, E.; Papagianni, M.; Makris, D.; Tsilioni, I.; Molyvdas, P. A.; Gourgoulianis, K. I.; Daniil, Z. (2013)Background: Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) has been associated with abnormal vascular remodeling. Bone marrow derived endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) are considered to possess lung tissue repair and vascular ... -
Increased primary autoimmune thyroid diseases and thyroid antibodies in sarcoidosis: Evidence for an under-recognised extrathoracic involvement in sarcoido
Malli, F.; Bargiota, A.; Theodoridou, K.; Florou, Z.; Bardaka, F.; Koukoulis, G. N.; Gourgoulianis, K. I.; Daniil, Z. (2012)Objective and Design: Sarcoidosis has been associated with thyroid diseases. However, until today no definite conclusions have been drawn. We aimed to assess the frequency of thyroid disorders and the levels of thyroid ... -

Malli, F.; Bargiota, A.; Theodoridou, K.; Florou, Z.; Bardaka, F.; Koukoulis, G. N.; Gourgoulianis, K. I.; Daniil, Z. (2012)OBJECTIVE AND DESIGN: Sarcoidosis has been associated with thyroid diseases. However, until today no definite conclusions have been drawn.

Leptin, Adiponectin, and Ghrelin Levels in Female Patients with Asthma during Stable and Exacerbation Periods
Tsaroucha, A.; Daniil, Z.; Malli, F.; Georgoulias, P.; Minas, M.; Kostikas, K.; Bargiota, A.; Zintzaras, E.; Gourgoulianis, K. I. (2013)Objective. The mechanisms underlying the relationship between obesity and asthma have not been fully established. Data in the literature suggest that adipose tissue-derived hormones may be implicated. However, no definite ... -
Polymorphisms and haplotypes in MyD88 are associated with the development of sarcoidosis: a candidate-gene association study
Daniil, Z.; Mollaki, V.; Malli, F.; Koutsokera, A.; Antoniou, K. M.; Rodopoulou, P.; Gourgoulianis, K.; Zintzaras, E.; Vassilopoulos, G. (2013)Sarcoidosis is considered as a disorder of protracted immune response to an as yet unidentified causative agent that leads to granuloma formation. Material from M. tuberculosis and P. acne has been repeatedly detected in ... -
Predicting Short-term Mortality in Patients With Pulmonary Embolism: A Simple Model
Papaioannou, A. I.; Kastanis, A.; Malli, F.; Zakynthinos, E.; Minas, M.; Mpakarozi, M.; Moka, S.; Zintzaras, E.; Gourgoulianis, K. I.; Daniil, Z. (2013)Background: The aim of the present study was to develop a simple prognostic rule that could classify patients with pulmonary embolism (PE) into categories of increased risk of 30-day mortality. Methods: One hundred patients ... -
The role of leptin in the respiratory system: an overview
Malli, F.; Papaioannou, A. I.; Gourgoulianis, K. I.; Daniil, Z. (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 ... -
Sex discrepancies in COPD patients and burden of the disease in females: a nationwide study in Greece (Greek Obstructive Lung Disease Epidemiology and health ecoNomics: GOLDEN study)
Papaioannou, A. I.; Bania, E.; Alexopoulos, E. C.; Mitsiki, E.; Malli, F.; Gourgoulianis, K. I. (2014)Background: The prevalence of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in females appears to be increasing. Recent studies have revealed that the percentage of women with COPD in Greece is approximately 12.5%. Aims: ... -
Systemic oxidative stress in patients with pulmonary sarcoidosis
Koutsokera, A.; Papaioannou, A. I.; Malli, F.; Kiropoulos, T. S.; Katsabeki, A.; Kerenidi, T.; Gourgoulianis, K. I.; Daniil, Z. D. (2009)Background: A local redox imbalance has been reported in pulmonary sarcoidosis. However so far no, study has described a systemic redox imbalance in this context. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the systemic ... -
