Connective tissue growth factor as a mediator of intraocular fibrosis.
PURPOSE To investigate the role of connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) in the pathogenesis of proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR). METHODS Expression of CTGF was evaluated immunohistochemically in human PVR membranes, and the accumulation of CTGF in the vitreous was evaluated by ELISA. The effects of CTGF on type I collagen mRNA and protein expression in RPE were assayed by real-time PCR...
متن کاملComplement as a Mediator of Inflammation
Interaction in free solution of highly purified preparations of human C'1 esterase, C'4, C'2, and C'3, in the presence of Mg(2+), resulted in rapid generation of an activity indistinguishable by biological criteria from anaphylatoxin. The formation of anaphylatoxin was associated with immunoelectrophoretic conversion of C'3 to anodically faster migrating proteins and was unaffected by the prese...
متن کاملefficacy of palatal connective tissue graft as a membrane in the treatment of intrabony defects
background and aims. the aim of this study was to compare clinical effects of two different membranes (palatal connective tissue and collagen) in combination with bio-oss in the treatment of intrabony defects. materials and methods. fifteen patients who had at least a pair of intrabony defects with an attachment loss of ≥5 mm and an initial osseous defect depth of ≥3 mm participated in this stu...
متن کاملHeat Shock Protein 60 as a Mediator of Adipose Tissue Inflammation and Insulin Resistance
The stress protein heat shock protein 60 (Hsp60) induces secretion of proinflammatory mediators from murine adipocytes. This study aimed to study Hsp60 as a mediator of adipose tissue inflammation and skeletal muscle cell (SkMC) insulin sensitivity and to quantify plasma Hsp60 concentrations in lean and obese individuals. Regulation of Hsp60 release and Hsp60-induced cytokine secretion and sign...
متن کاملA Case and Literature Review of Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus in Mixed Connective Tissue Disease
Normal Pressure hydrocephalus (NPH) is characterized by gait apraxia, urinary incontinence, and dementia. Mixed connective tissue disease (MCTD) is an autoimmune connective tissue disease that has never been reported to cause NPH. Our patient was a 67-year man with a one-year history of gradual worsening gait and balance, urinary urgency with urge incontinence and decreased short-term memory. P...
