Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is a multifunctional cytokine produced by many different cell types, including glomerular mesangial cells. Recently, novel C/G polymorphism at position -634 in the promotor region of IL-6 gene has been reported. The aim this study was to investigate whether -634C/G associated with an increased risk for progression diabetic nephropathy as well elevated levels secretion peripheral blood mononuclear cells.The frequency determined Japanese patients Type 2 diabetes and either...

Leucocyte adhesion to the diabetic retinal vasculature has been implicated in pathogenesis of retinopathy. We evaluated relationship between genetic polymorphisms leucocyte and endothelial cell molecules retinopathy Type 2 diabetes mellitus.We determined ICAM-1, platelet molecule-1 (PECAM-1), (LECAM-1) genotypes 81 patients with 50 without retinopathy.The frequency ICAM-1 469KK genotype K allele were significantly higher than those (genotype 42% vs. 20%, chi2 = 6.70, P 0.035; 66% 50%, 6.49,...

Abstract Background Implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) are effective in preventing sudden cardiac death due to lethal arrhythmias. Defibrillation is also known cause physical and emotional distress patients, guidelines on palliative care for cardiovascular disease recommend that when patients with ICDs reach the end of life, benefits burdens should be fully explained a policy regarding cessation defibrillation discussed. However, there few reports treatment status deactivation...

<h3>Introduction</h3> To investigate whether nocturnal intermittent hypoxia (NIH), a surrogate marker for sleep apnoea, is associated with cardiovascular risk factors, we conducted epidemiological studies. <h3>Methods</h3> The CIRCS prospective cohort study across Japan since 1963 to examine factors disease. Subjects aged 40–69 years were recruited the in three communities. NIH was estimated by hourly occurrences of oxygen desaturation ≥3% (3% index [3% ODI]) pulse-oximeter during night9s...
