AIM OF THE STUDY Investigation of the relationships between the grade and stage of chronic liver diseases irrespective of their etiology using some novel serum markers of liver fibrogenesis, the "classical" serum markers of liver necro-inflammatory injury (such as transaminases), and the histomorphological evaluation of liver biopsies. METHODS Markers of liver fibrogenesis: serum metalloprote...

Abstract The objective of this research study is to profile anti-viral and pro-inflammatory cytokines, major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I & II molecules cell death markers in clinical cases sepsis. Research design included three patient cohorts namely, COVID-19 with sepsis (C19wSepsis, N=17), no (C19NoSepsis, N=17) alone (N=24). Healthy subjects served as controls (N=16). Serum ...

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) ...

the important role of reperfusion therapies in the treatment of acute myocardial infarction is well documented. however, reperfusion therapies can initiate inflammatory response and may damage the myocardium. the purpose of current study was to compare the effects of percutaneous coronary intervention and thrombolytic therapy on inflammatory markers in the setting of st elevation myocardial inf...

Little is known about airway inflammatory markers in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The objective of the present study was to identify and try to correlate pulmonary and peripheral blood inflammatory markers in COPD. In a cross-sectional study on patients with stable COPD, induced sputum and blood samples were collected for the determination of C-reactive protein, eosinophilic ca...

objective(s): titanium dioxide (tio2) nanoparticles (nps) are widely used in commercial food additives and cosmetics worldwide. uptake of these nanoparticulate into humans by different routes and may exhibit potential side effects, lags behind the rapid development of nanotechnology. thus, the present study designed to evaluate the toxic effect of mixed rutile and anatase tio2 nps on serum bioc...

The aim of this study was to explore whether amounts of angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) and lysozyme produced within the lungs correlate more closely than serum levels of these enzymes, or other inflammatory markers, with chest radiographic profusion scores, lung function and therapy response in patients with pulmonary sarcoidosis. We have studied 25 patients, and levels in bronchoalveolar ...
