IL-35: a new immunomodulator in autoimmune rheumatic diseases
(2018)IL-35 is a relatively new cytokine that emerges as an important immunomodulator. IL-35 belongs to IL-12 cytokine family that includes IL-12, IL-23, IL-27, and IL-35. These cytokines are heterodimers that share subunits and ... -
Impact of Bariatric Surgery on Metabolic and Gut Microbiota Profile: a Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
(2017)We aim to review the available literature on obese patients treated with bariatric procedures, in order to assess their effect on the metabolic and gut microbiota profiles. A systematic literature search was performed in ... -
Individualized significance of the −251 A/T single nucleotide polymorphism of interleukin-8 in severe infections
(2016)Based on the concept of the individualized nature of sepsis, we investigated the significance of the −251 A/T (rs4073) single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) of interleukin (IL)-8 in relation to the underlying infection. ... -

(2022)Objective: To assess the efficacy of IL-6 inhibitors compared to standard of care (SOC) in COVID-19 patients. Data Sources: A systematic review of the MEDLINE and Scopus databases (last search: October 8th, 2021) was ... -
Investigation of Fas (APO-1)-Related Apoptosis in Piglets Intradermally or Intramuscularly Vaccinated with a Commercial PRRSV MLV
(2022)Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) induces apoptosis through the activation of death receptors, including cell-surface Fas receptor. The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of intradermal ... -
Leptin in pregnancy
(2002)Leptin is a 16-kDa polypeptide, encoded in humans by the LEP gene. This protein is probably involved in the regulation of ovarian function, oocyte maturation and embryo development, and in the implantation process. During ... -
Major vault protein/lung resistance related protein: A novel biomarker for rheumatoid arthritis
(2021)Objective Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) can lead to joint destruction and early institution of effective treatment can preserve joint function. Biomarkers can establish early diagnosis and predict effect of treatment. Vault ... -
Malignant mesothelioma cells secrete natriuretic peptides: Data and diagnostic clinical implications
(2020)Background and objective: Mesothelial cells and cardiomyocytes have shared embryonic mesodermal origin. Cardiomyocytes release BNP under stretch. We searched whether malignant mesothelioma cells also secrete BNP and if so, ... -
