background: this study investigated blackberry (persian mulberry) effects on apo a-i, apo b, high-sensitivity-c-reactive protein (hs-crp), and systolic blood pressure (sbp) and diastolic blood pressure (dbp) in dyslipidemic patients. materials and methods: in this 8-week randomized clinical trial, 72 dyslipidemic patients were randomly divided into two groups: intervention (300 ml/day blackberr...

background and objectives rheumatoid arthritis (ra) is a chronic inflammatory disease which is characterized by joint swelling, and synovial inflammation. c reactive protein (crp) and ceruloplasmin (cp) are identified as important biomarkers of ra and various inflammatory diseases. curcumin, a widely used yellow color spice is the most active component of curcuma longa l (turmeric). curcumin co...

background chronic inflammation is the most important cause of cardiovascular disease in patients undergoing hemodialysis, and vitamin c as a major antioxidant which could be effective to suppress inflammation. objectives this study was performed to evaluate the effect of vitamin c supplementation on c-reactive protein levels in patients undergoing hemodialysis. patients and methods this random...

objective: to investigate the clinical advantage of several prognostic factors for predicting preterm delivery. materials and methods: eighty and six patients with a singleton pregnancy admitted to vali-asr hospital underwent genetic amniocentesis between the 15th and 23th weeks were included in this study. maternal serum c-reactive protein (crp), transvaginal sonographic measurement of cervica...

the present study aimed to evaluate the distributions of high-sensitivity c-reactive protein, tc-hdl ratio and 10-year risk of cardiovascular diseases among iranian adult population. we conducted a cross-sectional study on a total of 2125 adults aged 25 to 65. data of the third national surveillance of risk factors of non-communicable diseases (surfncd-2007) was used. anthropometric indices, bl...
