Angiogenin and SDF-1α serum concentration in patients with systemic sclerosis in relation to clinical status
INTRODUCTION Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a connective tissue disorder characterized by tissue hypoxia due to vascular changes and excessive fibrosis of the skin and internal organs. Damage to blood vessels and endothelium, as well as imbalance of vascular homeostasis, impairment of angiogenesis and vasculogenesis are observed in the course of the disease. The aim of the study was to investigate...
متن کاملSerum total antioxidant capacity in patients with multiple sclerosis.
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory disease of the central nervous system (CNS). It is characterized by loss of myelin, the fatty tissue that surrounds and protects nerve fibres allowing them to conduct electrical impulses. Recent data indicate that oxidative stress (OS) plays a major role in the pathogenesis of multiple sclerosis (MS). The aim of this study was to estimate level ...
متن کاملDietary intake and nutritional status in patients with systemic sclerosis.
Oesophageal dysmotility and abnormalities of intestinal function are important manifestations in systemic sclerosis and may have a significant effect on nutrient absorption and nutritional status. In this study 30 patients with systemic sclerosis with symptoms from the gastrointestinal tract were compared with matched healthy control subjects with respect to nutrient intake (four day record), a...
متن کاملDecreased serum IL-7 levels in patients with systemic sclerosis.
Sirs, Interleukin-7 (IL-7) was originally defined as a pre-B lymphocyte growth factor and was subsequently found to augment the growth of T lymphocytes. A recent study showed that IL-7 is an anti-fibrogenic factor in pulmonary fibrosis in vitro. In this study, we determined the serum levels of IL-7 in patients with SSc. Forty-three patients with SSc and 28 healthy controls were included in the ...
متن کاملCirculating angiostatin serum level in patients with systemic sclerosis
Introduction Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is achronic connective tissue disease characterized by microangiopathy with inadequate angiogenesis. Angiostatin (AS) is a potent antiangiogenic factor specifically inhibiting proliferation and inducing apoptosis of vascular endothelial cells. Aim To evaluate the level of angiostatin in the serum of patients with SSc. Material and methods Serum levels o...
