Serotype-cross-reactive dengue virus-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) induced during a primary dengue virus infection are thought to play a role in the immunopathogenesis of dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) during a secondary dengue virus infection. Although there is no animal model of DHF, we previously reported that murine dengue virus-specific CTL responses are qualitatively similar to h...

High-sensitivity C-reactive protein is a well-known risk factor for cardiovascular heart diseases. In this study we aimed to determine the levels of serum high-sensitivity Creactive protein in patients with newly diagnosed type diabetes mellitus and impaired fasting glucose, and to obtain clinical results by comparing impaired fasting glucose group with type 2 diabetes mellitus and normal group...

Background: The relationship of inflammatory cytokines with anxiety and depression has been reported, but their role in diabetic patients has not been fully elucidated. Objective: We examined whether an association between prevalence of anxiety and depression in Omani type-2 diabetic patients (n=30) and the levels of inflammatory markers such as IL-1β, TNF-α, IFN-γ and C-reactive protein (CRP) ...

patients and methods in a quasi-experiment trial, 40 type 2 diabetic patients were asked to consume 50 g of cpj daily for 4 weeks. anthropometric indices, dietary intake, blood pressure measurements, and fasting blood samples were conducted at baseline and 4 weeks after the intervention. results the intake of cpj produced a significant increase in both total and high-density lipoprotein cholest...

Objective: Vitamin D deficiency is a common disorder worldwide and is indicated by low serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels. Recent studies have suggested an association of 25-hydroxyvitamin D deficiency with diabetes mellitus. The objective of this study is to investigate the relationship between 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentration and type 2 diabetes in South Indian patients. Materials and Methods...

risk of premature mortality and cardiovascular disease in people with diabetes are twice that of non-diabetics, but the role of inflammatory biomarkers such as resistin and crp that used for prediction of these disease is unknown after exercise. so, the aim of the present study was to examine the proinflammatory role of resistin and crp, after aerobic and resistance exercise in patients with ty...
