BACKGROUND Iron is an essential micronutrient that can have carcinogenic effects when at high or low concentrations. Previous studies of iron in relation to gastric cancer have not assessed subtype-specific relationships. We used the prospective Alpha-Tocopherol, Beta-Carotene (ATBC) Cancer Prevention Study to assess whether iron metrics were associated with gastric cardia cancer (GCC) and gast...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the relation between iron status and physical working capacity, and to assess the effect of oral iron treatment on these variables, in athletes with borderline iron status. METHODS Blood haemoglobin (Hb), packed cell volume (PCV), red blood cell count (RBC), serum iron, total iron binding capacity (TIBC), and ferritin determinations were compared in 71 male and 18 female...

OBJECTIVES An increase in serum ferritin and levels of the cleaved soluble form of transferrin receptor (sTfR) are related to several metabolic conditions. We evaluated the relationship between body iron status indicators, including ferritin and sTfR, and insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome (MetS) in Korean children. METHODS A cross-sectional study was conducted on 1350 children in Kore...

OBJECTIVES To investigate the prevalence of anaemia and iron deficiency and vitamin A status among school-aged children in rural Kazakhstan and identify factors associated with anaemia in this population. DESIGN A cross-sectional design. SETTING School-aged children in rural Kazakhstan. SUBJECTS Socio-economic and anthropometric information was collected from 159 school-aged children livi...

BACKGROUND In this study, we assessed whether red blood cell distribution width (RDW) was associated with all-cause mortality in patients on peritoneal dialysis (PD) and evaluated its prognostic value. METHODS This study included 136 patients who had RDW levels at PD initiation from January 2007 to January 2014 at the Presbyterian Medical Center and Seoul St. Mary's Hospital. We divided these...

Objectives: Anemia is a global problem of immense health significance affecting persons all ages and economic groups. Iron deficiency anemia (IDA) the most common type met with in clinical practice. For IDA diagnosis, estimation treatment, many indices such as serum iron (SI), total binding capacity (TIBC), ferritin (SF), soluble transferrin receptor assay are used. But reticulocyte hemoglobin ...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate blood and serum markers in traumatic spinal cord injured (SCI) patients, with and without pressure sores. METHODS This cross-sectional study was performed at the Ministry of Health Diskapi Yildirim Beyazit, and Numune Education and Research Hospitals, Ankara, Turkey, from 2006-2008. A total of 23 SCI patients with pressure sores (group I) and a control group of 25 SCI pa...

BACKGROUND Tumor infiltrating B cells (TiBc) have not yet been investigated in detail. This may at least in part be due to technical difficulties. Here we describe a straightforward and reproducible method to isolate and culture TiBc from primary colorectal carcinomas (CRC). METHODS/RESULTS TiBc cultures were generated by Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) immortalization. With this method, monoclonal ...

This experiment is designed for bone health in wrestlers and martial arts athletes who lose weight with Rapid Weight Loss (RWL). To clarify the effect of iron intake on relationship between loss densityFor using RWL strategy, was observed mineral density (BMD), serum osteocalcin (OC) level, marker. study conducted 23 (13 males 10 females). It divided into trial 1 (iron loss) 2 (only loss). In a...
