conclusions this case showed the effect of additional anakinra on children with fmf who were colchicine resistant. case presentation herein was reported a colchicine non-responsive patient with accurate diagnosis and early treatment of fmf. she had presented with recurrent and persistent acute abdominal pain attacks and several abdominal surgeries. addition of recombinant interleukin-1 receptor...

conclusions full factorial design experimental approach helped to identify the critical culture condition parameters in heterologous expression of v2r. it would allow studying the parameters affecting the function of this protein in future experiments. results the maximum amount of protein production was obtained by the addition of 0.75 mm iptg at 37°c after three hours. the most important fact...

background: several changes in serum biochemical factors occur in acute myocardial infarction (ami). recently alterations in serum levels of homocysteine (hcy), sialic acid (sa) and high sensitive c-reactive protein (hs-crp) has been attended as risk factors and index for prediction. this study was aimed to show the alterations in these factors and their relationships in ami. methods: thirty fo...

background: tissue injuries may provoke neuro-hormonal response which in turn may lead to release of inflammatory cytokines. we hypothesize that block of afferent sensory pathways by infiltration of 0.5% bupivacaine in the scalp may decrease neuro-hormonal response in the neurosurgical patient. methods: after obtaining informed consent, forty asa physical statuses i, ii, or iii patients between...

background and objectives: preterm labor is a serious problem in obstetrics, accounting for 70% of perinatal mortality. high sensitive c - reactive protein (hs-crp) is a sensitive marker of inflammation. our aim in this study was to determine amniotic fluid hs-crp concentration and its correlation with pre-term delivery.   materials and methods: this prospective study was conducted on 90 pregna...

objective: the goal of the current research was to investigate the effect of aerobic exercise on c-reactive protein (crp) and lipid profile in overweight-obese women with subclinical hypothyroidism. methods: this study enrolled 23 women who suffered from subclinical hypothyroidism. patients' average age was 41.08±6.56 years and bmi was >25 kg/m2. subjects, following medical screening, were obje...

introduction: the aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of aerobic exercise on brain natriuretic peptide (bnp) and c-reactive protein (crp) levels in women with cardiovascular diseases. materials and methods: in this semi experimental study, thirty female patients with at least one coronary artery stenosis (more than70%) were chosen and divided into two groups of aerobic training (n=15)...

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...
