INTRODUCTION The etiopathogenesis of basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is multifactorial. The TNF-α gene seems to be an interesting gene candidate for BCC susceptibility because of the proinflammatory and immunosuppressive properties of its product. The aim of the study was to assess the frequency of -308 G/A and -238 G/A gene polymorphisms in the TNF-α gene and serum levels of cytokine in patients wi...

OBJECTIVE This study aims to compare the differences of clinical efficacy and safety of treatment of stable psoriasis vulgaris with calcipotriene ointment in combination with 308 nm excimer laser to 308 nm excimer laser alone. METHODS Randomized, open and self-control trial was conducted in 36 selected patients. The skin lesions from these patients with stable psoriasis vulgaris were divided ...

Background: Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is a chronic, immune-mediated disease characterized by the destruction of insulin-producing β cells in pancreas. This study investigated influence single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) tumor necrosis factor (TNF-α) –308 G/A (rs1800629,) on T1DM patients. Method: The was included 75 patients and 25 healthy subjects. SNP–308 TNF-α gene detected using po...
