Elevated circulating endothelial cell-derived microparticle levels in patients with liver cirrhosis: a preliminary report
AIM OF THE STUDY To determine plausible associations between liver cirrhosis and circulating endothelial cell-derived microparticles (EMPs), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) levels and plasma nitric oxide (NO) metabolites. MATERIAL AND METHODS Sixty patients with cirrhosis and 20 healthy control subjects were enrolled in the study. Circulating EMPs from platelet-poor plasma samples w...
متن کاملLevels of elevated circulating endothelial cell decline after tumor resection in patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma.
AIM To evaluate circulating endothelial lineage cells (ELCs) as biomarkers of tumor neovascularization in patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). MATERIALS AND METHODS ELCs were isolated from the peripheral blood of patients with PDAC (n=14) or controls (n=17) before and after tumor resection/surgery and quantified using flow cytometry. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)...
متن کاملCirculating microparticle levels are reduced in patients with ARDS
BACKGROUND It is unclear how to identify which patients at risk for acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) will develop this condition during critical illness. Elevated microparticle (MP) concentrations in the airspace during ARDS are associated with activation of coagulation and in vitro studies have demonstrated that MPs contribute to acute lung injury, but the significance of MPs in the ...
متن کاملDecreased Circulating Endothelial Progenitor Cell Levels and Function in Patients with Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease
OBJECTIVES Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is associated with advanced atherosclerosis and a higher risk of cardiovascular disease. Increasing evidence suggests that injured endothelial monolayer is regenerated by circulating bone marrow derived-endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs), and levels of circulating EPCs reflect vascular repair capacity. However, the relation between NAFLD and ...
متن کاملElevated circulating adiponectin levels in liver cirrhosis are associated with reduced liver function and altered hepatic hemodynamics.
Adiponectin is a novel adipocytokine negatively correlated with parameters of the metabolic syndrome, such as body mass index (BMI), body fat mass (BFM), and circulating insulin levels. Furthermore, metabolic actions directly on the liver have been described. The aim of the present study was to characterize circulating adiponectin levels, hepatic turnover, and the association of adiponectin wit...
