Decreased Expression Levels of S100A12 and RAGE May Be Associated with Chronic HBV Infection
Background and Aims: Engagement of the receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) and its ligand “S100A12 protein” induce a cascade of reactions that eventually might lead to develop an inflammatory response dependent on NF-κB. Although involvement of S100A12 and RAGE in some autoimmune disease have proved, in chronic hepatitis B (CHB) infection functions of the prote...
متن کاملChlamydia Pneumoniae Infection and Cardiac Risk Factors in Patients with Myocardial Infection
BACKGROUND Evidences support the possible involvement of microorganisms such as Chlamydia pneumonia in the pathogenesis of ischemic heart diseases through a chronic inflammatory process. The aim of this study was to determine the relation between Chlamydia pneumoniae seropositivity with acute myocardial infarction and its related risk factors. METHODS In this case-control study, 88 patients a...

متن کاملCardiac thrombus associated with Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection.
Thrombosis is a very rare complication of Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection. We report the case of a previously healthy nine-year-old boy with cardiac thrombus in the right ventricle associated with M. pneumoniae pneumonia. This cardiac thrombus was detected eight days after the onset of respiratory symptoms. The mechanism underlying thrombosis may be related to autoimmune modulations and was att...
متن کاملIs Chlamydia pneumoniae infection associated with stroke in children with sickle cell disease?
BACKGROUND Stroke is often a devastating complication of sickle cell disease (SCD). Most children with SCD-related stroke have stenotic and occlusive disease of cerebral blood vessels due to intimal hyperplasia. This hyperplasia is hypothesized to result from an inflammatory response similar to that in atherosclerosis and has been attributed to infection by Chlamydia pneumoniae. OBJECTIVE To ...
