We hypothesize that in CF-LVAD recipients the levels of inflammatory markers are higher than both healthy controls and HF patients. The aim of our study was to compare the levels of inflammation in CF-LVAD recipients to those of healthy controls (HCs) and HF patients who were candidates for ...
Coronary plaque was also associated with higher markers for inflammation, like a 71% increased risk for high interleukin (IL)-6. Indeed, the presence of IL-6 was consistently associated with plaque and coronary artery disease. “Data from REPRIEVE connect inflammation and immune activation to coron...
Objective: To assess the relation between markers of inflammation and the presence of multiple vulnerable plaques in patients with non-ST segment elevation... P Avanzas - 《Heart》 被引量: 328发表: 2004年 Plasma levels of inflammatory markers neopterin, sialic acid, and C-reactive protein in ...
Ten of 104 patients with UC had high levels of serum IgG4; nine of these 10 patients (90%) not only had extensive lesions (E3) but also presented with moderate-to-severe inflammation, suggesting that this subset of patients with UC was more likely to have extensive and severe lesions (Ta...
Time course of changes in inflammatory markers during a 6-mo exercise intervention in sedentary middle-aged men: a randomized-controlled trial Regular exercise may improve systemic markers of chronic inflammation, but direct evidence and dose-response information is lacking. The objective of this ......
The differences in inflammatory markers in prediabetic and T2D subjects were not statistically significant. Prediabetes was associated with low-grade inflammation with increased inflammatory cytokine levels, while the levels in prediabetic subjects were comparable to those in T2D subjects. The associations...
3A). Given that it has been established that TGF-β induces EndoMT via the Smad pathway, we investigated whether activin A similarly induces EndoMT via this pathway, and accordingly found that activin A promoted increases in the phosphorylation of Smad3 and the expression of mesenchymal markers,...
Although evaluation of platelet aggregation (PA) was the primary objective of the study, platelet activation and markers of inflammation and necrosis also were evaluated during the first 24 h. To avoid any interaction of PCI on the kinetics of all these markers, it was decided to study patients...
Double-stranded RNA-dependent protein kinase (PKR), a well known regulator of inflammatory pathways is activated by interferons, toll like receptors, and nutrient excess. PKR is also an important signaling molecule for many downstream markers of inflammation, such as NF-ķB, JNK, IkB and apoptos...
Indeed, previous studies have shown the essential role of inflammation-associated transcription factors such as STAT3 and CEBPB in mesenchymal transformation [50]. Here, we define a mesenchymal-associated immunological signature expressed specifically by transformed glioma cells in a subset of patients. ...
