Association of anti-CCP positivity and carriage of TNFRII susceptibility variant with anti-TNF-α response in rheumatoid arthritis
(2011)Objective: To investigate the possible influence of tumour necrosis factoralpha (TNF), TNF receptor I (TNFRI) and TNF receptor II (TNFRII) gene polymorphisms on anti-TNF treatment responsiveness, stratified by autoantibody ... -
Biomarkers in the exhaled breath condensate of healthy adults: Mapping the path towards reference values
(2008)The need for non-invasive assessment of airway inflammation is imperative, since inflammatory airway diseases, such as asthma and COPD, are characterized by variation in their clinical presentation throughout their course. ... -
Comparison of several toxicity tests applied to complex wastewaters and mussel biomarkers in receiving waters
(2005)In this study, the complex wastewaters/effluents discharged to coastal regions of Turkey and Greece were sampled, and various toxicity tests were applied. The bioassays used included the assessment of the luminescence ... -
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 ... -
Exhaled breath condensate in asthma: From bench to bedside
(2011)The need for non-invasive assessment of airway inflammation is imperative, since inflammatory airway diseases, such as asthma and COPD, are characterized by variation in their clinical presentation throughout their course. ... -
An integrated genetic and cytogenetic map for the Mediterranean fruit fly, Ceratitis capitata, based on microsatellite and morphological markers
(2008)A genetic map based on microsatellite polymorphisms and visible mutations of the Mediterranean fruit fly (medfly), Ceratitis capitata is presented. Genotyping was performed on single flies from several backcross families. ... -
Noninvasive histologic grading of solid astrocytomas using proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy
(2004)Background: Proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H MRS) constitutes a promising modality to assess intracranial pathology. We present our experience using this method in grading solid brain astrocytomas. Material and ... -
Oxidative stress biomarkers responses to physical overtraining: Implications for diagnosis
(2007)Overtraining syndrome is characterized by declining performance and transient inflammation following periods of severe training with major health implications for the athletes. Currently, there is no single diagnostic ... -
Pleural transport physiology: Insights from biological marker measurements in transudates
(2011)Aims: The aim of this study was to evaluate the physicochemical properties of the pleural mesothelial barrier and of the biological markers that facilitate or eliminate the passage of molecules through the pleura. Methods ... -
Pulmonary function and circulating adhesion molecules in patients with diabetes mellitus
(2003)Background: Lung function in diabetes has been reported in several studies with contradictory results. Diabetes mellitus increases expression of adhesion molecules through hyperglycemia. These molecules play an important ... -
Role of immunohistochemistry for hepatitis D and hepatitis B virus in hepatitis delta
(2014)Background & Aims: Immunohistochemical assessment of liver tissue in chronic delta hepatitis (CDH) is underinvestigated. Aim of the study was (i) to assess variables associated with hepatitis D antigen (HDAg), hepatitis B ... -
Targeting neuroendocrine prostate cancer: Molecular and clinical perspectives
(2015)Neuroendocrine prostate carcinoma, either co-present with the local adenocarcinoma disease or as a result of transdifferentiation later in time, was described as one major process of emerging resistance to androgen deprivation ...
