A multiplexed biomarker bundle consisting of nine different inflammation markers was evaluated regarding their diagnostic and prognostic performances in 159 adult systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) patients enrolled at the emergency department. Fibronectin, interleukin-8 (IL-8), biotin, and neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) were the most robust markers but were not s...

Neutrophil gelatinase associated lipocalin (NGAL), a constituent of neutrophil granules, is a member of the lipocalin family of binding proteins. NGAL can also be highly induced in epithelial cells in both inflammatory and neoplastic colorectal disease. NGAL is proposed to mediate inflammatory responses by sequestering neutrophil chemoattractants, particularly N-formylated tripeptides and possi...

The present study aimed to investigate the effect of exposure mosquito coil fumes (6 hr/day, 6 days/week, for 4 weeks) on biochemical and histological structure kidney in young adult male rats. Atomic analysis was estimated indicate main constituent elements coil. Results showed a non-significant change body weight gain somatic indices, except heart index that increased significantly both ages ...
