The role of type 2 diabetes on serum level of vascular endothelial growth factor and blood biochemical parameters and liver and kidney function factors
Background and Aim: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) has turned into one of the main complications of the recent century, as this chronic metabolic disease could provide a platform for the formation of several diseases such as cardio-vascular diseases, neuropaties, nephropaty, and cancer. Angiogenesis has attracted the tremendous attention. This research was conducted in 1400 in Mashhad and its ...
متن کاملVEGF Polymorphisms Related to Higher Serum Levels of Protein Identify Patients with Hepatocellular Carcinoma
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common primary neoplasia of the liver. Major risk factors for hepatocellular carcinoma include chronic liver diseases, carcinogenic agents, and genetic alterations as well as vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) involved in angiogenesis process. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association of VEGF-A (C936T and A1154G) with HCC and cirrhos...
متن کاملEvaluation of serum AFP (α-fetoprotein) level in HBsAg carrier patients for diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma
Background: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is common all over the world as well as Iran. The incidence of HCC is higher in hepatitis B carriers and it is highly recommended to periodically screen these patients by serum alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) and liver ultrasound (US) every 6 months. We explore the diagnostic accuracy and the performance of (AFP) in cases of hepatitis B carriers as a scree...
متن کاملEvaluation of transforming growth factor alpha and vascular endothelial growth factor in diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma.
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most frequent malignant tumors. It is important to detect disease and recurrence at its earlier period. We aimed to evaluate the usefulness of TGF-alpha and VEGF in diagnosis of HCC patients. Thirty patients with liver cirrhosis, 30 patients with confirmed HCC and 20 healthy volunteers were subjected to abdominal ultrasonography, and alpha-fetoprotei...
متن کاملVascular Endothelial Growth Factor in Serum and Saliva of Oral Lichen Planus and Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma Patients
Background:Oral lichen planus (OLP) is considered as a potentially malignant disorder and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) may play a key role in cancer development. The aim of this study was to compare serum and saliva VEGF among patients with OLP, oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) and a healthy control group. Methods:A cross sectional study was pe...
متن کاملExpression and prognostic value of VEGFR-2, PDGFR-β, and c-Met in advanced hepatocellular carcinoma
BACKGROUND We explore the clinical and prognostic significance of expression of vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR)-2, platelet-derived growth factor receptor (PDGFR)-β, and c-Met in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). METHODS The expression of VEGFR-2, PDGFR-β, and c-Met were determined by immunohistochemical examination of the tissues of 93 HCC patients. The relati...
