Introduction:This study evaluates the relationship between disease activity and neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) plateletto-lymphocyte (PLR) in patients with chronic plaque psoriasis.Methods: Clinical biochemical data were retrieved through retrospective examination of patients' healthy subjects' medical records.NLR PLR values calculated from hemogram results.This included 46 (25 males, 21 females; 36.58 ± 9.82 years) diagnosed psoriasis a control group volunteers (21 25 34.02 8.41...

Objective. To evaluate the role of adipokines, visfatin and leptin in pathophysiology pre-eclampsia how their concentrations correlate with severity disease abnormal Doppler velocimetry.Methods. A cross-sectional study was carried out 72 pregnant women (30 patients mild pre-eclampsia, 20 severe 22 healthy normotensive women) during third trimester pregnancy. The maternal levels plasma serum were determined all cases by enzyme immunoassay enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, respectively....

IntroductionThere is no valid and reliable diagnostic test for early diagnosis of acute mesenteric ischemia (AMI). The aim this study was to measure the plasma levels diamine oxidase (DAO) citrulline in AMI gain insight into its diagnosis.Material methodsA total 21 Wistar albino rats were divided three groups, that is, control group, short-term prolonged group. superior artery occluded 15 min group 12 h Twelve hours later, experiment terminated DAO measured. Intestinal tissue evaluated...

Over the past decade, our knowledge of how homeostatic systems regulate food intake and body weight has increased with discovery circulating peptides such as leptin, acyl ghrelin, des-acyl ghrelin obestatin. These hormones appetite by sending signals to brain regarding body's nutritional status. The purpose this study was investigate response appetite-regulating exercise. Nine overweight women undertook two 2 h trials in a randomized crossover design. In exercise trial, subjects ran for 60...

In this study, we investigate the effect of montelukast on histologic damage induced by testicular torsion-detorsion in rats.Twenty-one male Sprague-Dawley rats were separated into 3 groups, each containing 7 rats. A sham operation was performed group 1 (control). 2 (ischemia-reperfusion [IR]/untreated), 1-hour detorsion testis after 6 hours unilateral torsion. (I-R/dextroamphetamine), performing same surgical procedures as 2, given intraperitoneally. all experimental rats, ipsilateral...

Background : Nitric oxide (NO) is a free oxygen radical studied in many tissues. Its tumour killing structure shown especially by macrophages. The end products of NO are nitrite and nitrate. Their plasma levels used biochemically to determine nitric synthase (NOS) activity. proliferative capacity cancer cells accompanies the alteration oxidant–anti‐oxidant status. risk breast decreased association with an increased level polyunsaturated fatty acids erythrocyte membranes. more anti‐oxidant...

Abstract Background Zinc deficiency is thought to be common in children, but its predictive capacity for anemia unclear. Thus, this study identified zinc school and investigated the association between status hemoglobin, together with other estimates of anemia. Methods For case–control study, 349 483 children 6.5 14.8 years old were included from primary schools Bolu, Turkey. We measured weight, length, body mass index, complete blood count serum zinc, ferritin, vitamin B12 folate....

The use of Reference Change Values (RCV) has been advocated as very useful for monitoring individuals. Most these are performed individuals in acute situations and following up the improvement or deterioration chronic diseases. In our study, we aimed at evaluating RCV calculation 24 clinical chemistry analytes widely used laboratories utilization this data.Twenty-four serum samples were analyzed with Abbott kits (Abbott Laboratories, Park, IL, USA), manufactured Architect c8000 USA)...

Epidemiological studies have suggested that patients with psoriasis are at an increased risk of developing cardiovascular diseases. Chronic inflammation may play a role in the pathogenesis atherosclerosis patients. Recent evaluated expression plasma endocan and homocysteine levels. Endocan is marker vascular endothelial damage, plays development atherosclerosis. Plasma levels, as well echocardiographic parameters, were to assess disease risk.This was prospective cohort analysis 40 who...

<h3>Objective</h3> Asymmetric dimethyl arginine (ADMA) is the major endogenous inhibitor of nitric oxide synthase. ADMA related to endothelial dysfunction and an independent cardiovascular risk factor. This study aimed evaluate concentration in aqueous humour serum samples patients with pseudoexfoliation (PEX) syndrome. <h3>Materials Methods</h3> 21 cataract PEX syndrome (PEX group) 18 without (control were enrolled study. was measured control groups. ELISA used determine concentration....
