BACKGROUND The aim of this study was the investigation of the diagnostic value of the amino-terminal propeptide of type I collagen (P1NP) and the tumour markers, CA 15-3 and CA 125, in patients with breast and ovarian cancer. PATIENTS AND METHODS Serum levels of P1NP, CA 15-3 and CA 125 were analyzed using specific immunoassays. Baseline serum samples of 66 patients with metastatic breast can...

Most Schistosoma mansoni infections are egg-negative after a single dose of oxamniquine. A cohort of 661 infected children was treated at 6-month intervals and assessed for nutritional and parasitological status. Initial biochemical and immunologic markers were measured in a subset of 84 children. All were treated at the start of therapy and at 6 months. Immunoglobulins only served as markers f...

Cardiac troponin I (cTnI) is now widely recognized as one of the preeminent biochemical markers for the diagnosis of myocardial injury. The biochemical specificity of this biomolecule for cardiac tissue has forced a reevaluation of the diagnostic criteria for non-Q-wave acute myocardial infarction, unstable angina, acute coronary artery disease, and minor myocardial injury. Further, its use by ...

This article presents data on the influence of enzymatic activity serum processes liver fibrosis in patients with non-alcoholic fatty disease (NAFLD) and chronic obstructive pulmonary (COPD). Clinical, biochemical, immunological research methods enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) were used work. All determined for degree using a non-invasive method – Fibromax. It was found that NAFLD COP...

Several studies have tried to find an efficient agent to prevent or reverse gentamicin (Gm) induced acute kidney injury (AKI). In this study, we assessed the potential renal protective effects of Descurainia sophia (L.) Webb ex Prantl against Gm-induced nephrotoxicity in rats. Thirty-five male Wistar rats were categorized in five groups (n = 7 per group). Control group was treated with...

The present study reports the green synthesis of silver nanoparticles from leaves’ extract Mangifera indica (M. indica) and their antibacterial efficacy against Aeromonas hydrophila (A. hydrophila) in Cirrhinus mrigala (C. mrigala). prepared M. mediated (Mi-AgNPs) were found to be polycrystalline nature, spherical shapes with average size 62 ± 13 nm. C. (n = ±15/group) divided into six groups i...

Lumpy skin disease is an economically important poxvirus disease of cattle. Vaccination is the main method of control but sporadic outbreaks have been reported in Turkey. This study was carried out to determine the changes in serum biochemical values of cattle naturally infected with lumpy skin disease virus (LSDV). For this study, blood samples in EDTA, serum samples, and nodular skin lesions ...
