Clinical significance of organ- and non-organ-specific autoantibodies on the response to anti-viral treatment of patients with chronic hepatitis C
(2006)
Background: Development of organ- and non-organ-specific autoantibodies has been reported in hepatitis C virus patients treated with interferon-α plus/minus ribavirin. Aims: To address whether prevalence and the titre of ...
Does hepcidin affect erythropoiesis in hemodialysis patients?
(2006)
Introduction: Prohepcidin is the precursor of hepcidin, a liver-derived peptide involved in iron metabolism by blocking its intestinal absorption and its release by the reticuloendothelial system. Iron overload and ...
Transferrin receptor-1 and 2 expression in chronic lymphocytic leukemia
(2006)
Transferrin receptor (TfR)-1 and 2 mRNA and CD71 (TfR1) expression was analyzed in 118 CLL patients. Ninety-five out of 109 analyzed cases expressed CD71, mostly at a high level; 60% of CD71 (+) cases were IGH-mutated. All ...
Demonstration of the human ocular surface glycocalyx by transmission electron microscopy
(2006)
The aim of this work was to demonstrate the ultrastructural appearance of the human ocular surface glycocalyx in normal subjects. Conjunctival tissue specimens from 7 normal subjects were obtained by bulbar conjunctival ...
Psychosocial factors and later life depressive symptoms in a Greek community sample
(2006)
The purpose of this research was to study the role of a selected number of psychosocial factors (e.g., sex, age, educational level, and social support) in the depressive symptomatology of older adults. A sample of 333 ...
Echo-Doppler measurements of portal vein and hepatic artery in asymptomatic patients with hepatitis B virus and healthy adults
(2006)
Background and aim. The aim of this prospective study was to determine the range of various hemodynamic parameters of portal vein and hepatic artery with echo-Doppler imaging in asymptomatic carriers of hepatitis B virus ...
Gastric Antral Vascular Ectasia (Watermelon Stomach) in Patients With ESRD
(2006)
In 1989, Navab et al suggested that watermelon stomach often is observed in patients with chronic renal insufficiency. On the basis of this and some later reports, an etiopathogenetic association between the 2 disorders ...
Brain perfusion SPECT with 99mTC-ECD and serum neuron-specific enolase in patients with spontaneous subarachnoid haemorrhage and clinical vasospasm
(2006)
Aim: To estimate the association between single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) imaging and neuro-specific enolase (NSE) serum level measurement in patients with subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH) and also to present ...
Association of α-synuclein Rep1 polymorphism and Parkinson's disease: Influence of Rep1 on age at onset
(2006)
The α-synuclein Rep1 polymorphism was studied in patients and controls in an ethnic Greek population. There was an association of allele 2 with risk of Parkinson's disease (PD; adjusted odd ratio = 3.25; 95% CI = 1.80-5.87). ...
Lack of replication of thirteen single-nucleotide polymorphisms implicated in Parkinson's disease: a large-scale international study
(2006)
Background: A genome-wide association study identified 13 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) significantly associated with Parkinson's disease. Small-scale replication studies were largely non-confirmatory, but a ...
