Matrix metalloproteinases do not properly work as peripheral blood biomarkers without taking into account the preanalytical impact of blood sampling.
I read with great interest the article by Aharinejad et al. [1]. The authors measured matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) 1, 8, and 9 and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteases 1 (TIMP-1) in the serum of heart transplant recipients during the first year after cardiac transplantation at different time intervals. The changed serum concentrations of these analytes following cardiac transplantation were ...

Today’s routing protocols critically rely on the assumption that the underlying hardware is trusted. Given the increasing number of attacks on network devices, and recent reports on hardware backdoors this assumption has become questionable. Indeed, with the critical role computer networks play today, the contrast between our security assumptions and reality is problematic. This paper presents ...
متن کاملIs fasting insulin associated with blood pressure in obese children?
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE We tested whether fasting insulin levels are associated with blood pressure in a large sample of obese children. SUBJECTS AND METHODS Three hundred and fifty obese children (F:M ratio = 1.03) of 10.1 +/- 2.7 y of age (mean +/- SD) were consecutively enrolled at an Outpatient Paediatric Clinic. Obesity was diagnosed on the basis of a relative weight for age > 120% and hyperte...

Introduction: Hyaluronic acid (HA) is an anionic biopolymer composed of alternating disaccharide units of D-glucuronic acid and Nacetyl-D-glucosamine with (14)interglycosidic linkage [1]. It is the only nonsulfated glycosaminoglycan (GAG) that is abundant in the synovial fluid and extracellular matrix (ECM) [1-2]. The over all goal of this study is to fabricate and characterize nanospheres ba...

Introduction A number of theories have been proposed that relate the differentiation pathway of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) to their biomechanical environment during healing. In addition, the organisation of the ECM determines the mechanical fitness of any repair tissue. A key structural component in most soft tissues is collagen. Our hypothesis is that both cell phenotype and the collagen or...
