Novel myokine: irisin may be an independent predictor for subclinic atherosclerosis in Behcet's disease
(Bmj Publishing Group, 2016)
Behcet's disease (BD) is a vasculitic and inflammatory disease causing endothelial dysfunction. Irisin is a metabolic hormone related to insulin resistance and endothelial functions. in this study, we investigated the ...
Evaluation of the relationship between c-Kit expression and mean platelet volume in classic Kaposi's sarcoma
(Soc Brasileira Dermatologia, 2016)
BACKGROUND: c-Kit is a proto-oncogene that encodes tyrosine kinase receptor (CD117). Mean platelet volume (MPV) is a useful marker, providing information on platelet function and diameter. Objective: To investigate c-Kit ...
The protective effect of adalimumab on renal injury in a model of abdominal aorta cross-clamping
(Wroclaw Medical Univ, 2016)
Background. Adalimumab (ADA) is a potent inhibitor of tumor necrosis factor (TNF-alpha). ADA treatment suppresses proinflammatory cytokines, leading to a decrease or inhibition of the inflammatory process. Objectives. the ...
Protective effects of thymoquinone and alpha-tocopherol on the sciatic nerve and femoral muscle due to lower limb ischemia-reperfusion injury
(Verduci Publisher, 2016)
OBJECTIVE: Thymoquinone (TQ) is an antioxidant and anti-apoptotic substance found in the Nigella sativa plant. Alpha-tocopherol (alpha-TP) is a potent antioxidant. We aimed to determine whether or not TQ and TP have a ...
Serum levels of homocysteine, asymmetric dimethylarginine and nitric oxide in patients with Parkinson's disease
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2016)
Objectives: Endothelial dysfunction has been implicated as a crucial event in the development of several neurodegenerative diseases. the aim of this study was to investigate the serum homocysteine, asymmetric dimethylarginine ...

(Via Medica, 2016)
Objectives: the aim of our study was to compare serum irisin concentrations in pregnant women with and without gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). Material and methods: This study was performed at the Tertiary Care Center, ...
The protective effect of infliximab against carbon tetrachloride-induced acute lung injury
(Mashhad Univ Med Sciences, 2016)
Objective(s): Carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) causes pulmonary toxicity. Infliximab (Ib) is a potent inhibitor of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha). We aimed to investigate whether Ib has a protective effect on CCl4 ...
Relationship of serum osteoprotegerin with arterial stiffness, preclinical atherosclerosis, and disease activity in patients with ankylosing spondylitis
(Springer London Ltd, 2016)
Patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) reportedly have a higher mortality and morbidity risk. Osteoprotegerin (OPG) was recently defined as an important cardiovascular (CV) marker in the general population. We aimed to ...
Relationship of osteoprotegerin to pulse wave velocity and carotid intima-media thickness in rheumatoid arthritis patients
(Springer Heidelberg, 2016)
Osteoprotegerin (OPG) is considered an important biomarker in cardiovascular (CV) disease. CV disease is the most common cause of mortality in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), a consequence of accelerated ...
Endocan levels and subclinical atherosclerosis in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus
(Sage Publications Inc, 2016)
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic autoimmune disease of unknown etiology. A major cause of morbidity and mortality in SLE is accelerated atherosclerosis. Endothelial-specific molecule 1 (endocan) is a potential ...
