Urine chemokines: biomarkers of human lupus nephritis?
Lupus nephritis is characterized by intrarenal inflammation. Leukocytes trafficking from peripheral blood into affected tissues spaces represent an important factor in the development of many renal diseases. During the past few years has been attributed the crucial role of a family of chemotactic cytokines--the chemokines--in this process. In the course of renal diseases, the infiltration of mo...
متن کاملAssociation of serum leptin level with obesity in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia
Background Obesity is a medical problem in survivors of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Obesity is associated with many complications, so it is important to investigate the respective etiology. Leptin is a protein synthesized in the fatty tissue and is effective in the control of obesity. Survey of leptin in acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) survivors could be helpful in controlling ob...
متن کاملA urine finding associated with obesity.
Corn starch can be identified by its physico-chemical property of producing Maltese cross birefringence under polarized light. In the urine there are few other compounds that may cause a similar Maltese cross picture: cholesterol esters in nephrotic syndrome and 2,8 dihydroxyadenine (2,8DHA) crystals in rare patients with congenital adenine phosphoribosyltransferase deficiency. Both talc and st...
متن کاملPathogenic obesity and nutraceuticals.
Over a decade of intense research in the field of obesity has led to the knowledge that chronic, excessive adipose tissue expansion leads to an increase in the risk for CVD, type 2 diabetes mellitus and cancer. This is primarily thought to stem from the low-grade, systemic inflammatory response syndrome that characterises adipose tissue in obesity, and this itself is thought to arise from the c...
متن کاملAssociation of Pathogenic Missense and Nonsense Mutations in Mitochondrial COII Gene with Familial Adenomatous Polyposis (FAP)
Nuclear genetic mutations have been extensively investigated in solid tumors. However, the role of the mitochondrial genome remains uncertain. Since the metabolism of solid tumors is associated with aerobic glycolysis and high lactate production, tumors may have mitochondrial dysfunctions. Familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) is a rare form of colorectal cancer and an autosomal dominant inheri...
