Activin A and Follistatin as Biomarkers for Ectopic Pregnancy and Missed Abortion
(2013)Activin A as a predictor of pregnancy failure has been the focus of heated debate, but the value of a combined activin A and follistatin (FS) measurement in serum to predict pregnancy failure has not been reported yet. We ... -
The angiogenic pathway 'vascular endothelial growth factor/flk-I (KDR)-receptor' in rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis
(2001)Active angiogenesis, together with an up-regulation of angiogenic factors, is evident in the synovium of both rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and osteoarthritis (OA). The present study assessed, by immunohistochemistry, the ... -
Anti-SLA/LP alone or in combination with anti-Ro52 and fine specificity of anti-Ro52 antibodies in patients with autoimmune hepatitis
(2015)Background & AimsAntibodies (Abs) to soluble liver antigen/liver pancreas (anti-SLA/LP) are considered markers of worse prognosis and outcome in patients with autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) although this assumption has recently ... -
Correlation Between Cyclin B1 Immunostaining in Cervical Biopsies and HPV Detection by PCR
(2009)In recent years, experimental data on the roles of viruses and cyclin B1 in G2/M arrest has accumulated. The aim of our study Was to immunohistochemically examine a series of cervical squamous intraepithelial lesions for ... -
CUZD1 and Anti-CUZD1 Antibodies as Markers of Cancer and Inflammatory Bowel Diseases
(2013)CUZD1, the CUB, and zona pellucida-like domains-containing protein 1, is a newly identified antigen of pancreatic autoantibodies (PAB) giving a reticulogranular pattern in patients with inflammatory bowel diseases, and in ... -
Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology of a Primary Malignant Peripheral Nerve Sheath Tumor Arising in the Parotid Gland A Case Report
(2009)Background Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor (MPNST) is an uncommon mesenchymal neoplasm showing nerve sheath differentiation, usually arising in large nerves of the trunk and extremities. Prima)), location in the ... -
Insulin-Induced Electrochemical Changes in Pleura are Associated with the Location within the Pleural Cavity
(2011)Aim: We investigated the effects of insulin on the electrophysiology of sheep pleural specimens obtained from the upper and lower parts of the pleural cavity and the insulin receptor abundance in these regions. Materials ... -
Insulin-Induced Electrophysiology Changes in Human Pleura Are Mediated via Its Receptor
(2010)Background. Insulin directly changes the sheep pleural electrophysiology. The aim of this study was to investigate whether insulin induces similar effects in human pleura, to clarify insulin receptor's involvement, and to ... -

Performance of a SOFC fed by ethanol reforming products
(2002)Performance of a Pt based anode solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) fed with a gas mixture containing H-2, CO and CH4 (molar ratio 1: 1: 1) produced by external ethanol decomposition was studied, Experiments were performed at ... -
The role of leptin in the respiratory system: an overview
(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 ... -
Survivin isoform expression patterns in CML patients correlate with resistance to imatinib and progression, but do not trigger cytolytic responses
(2011)Tyrosine-kinase inhibitors are very effective in patients with CML, but in most cases the disease relapses after their discontinuation. As a result, novel approaches should be considered, such as anti-survivin treatment ...
