To prospectively determine whether the diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging is useful to distinguish between malignant and benign mediastinal lymph nodes.Thirty-five patients (14 women, 21 men; mean age 52 years) with 91 nodes in mediastinum detected by computed tomography underwent 1.5 Tesla (T) MR before mediastinoscopy (n = 29) mediastinotomy 6). Diffusion-weighted images were acquired a b factor of 50, 400 s/mm(2) using single-shot echo-planar sequence.Of 35 patients, 18 had...

The influence of hypothyroidism on haemostasis is controversial; both hypocoagulable and hypercoagulable states have been reported. Hypothyroidism has associated with atherosclerosis; a state in addition might represent risk factor for thromboembolic disease. aim the present study was to investigate markers endogenous coagulation vascular endothelial cell function evaluate relationship between serum lipid profile, thyroid hormones haemostatic parameters hypothyroid patients. We investigated...

The relation between cancer and coagulation is the subject of investigation since a tumor thrombosis has been determined. Antithrombin III an important thrombin inhibitor, increased thrombin-antithrombin (TAT) complex levels activate coagulation. Activated activatable fibrinolysis inhibitor (TAFI) inhibits conversion plasminogen to plasmin. In addition, it directly inactivates Defective increases risk thrombosis. this study, we evaluated homeostatic parameters, TAFI, TAT in patients with...

Cytokines play important roles in the pathogenesis of lymphomas. The aim this study was to determine relations between serum levels interleukin-2 (IL-2), IL-6, and IL-10 parameters International Prognostic Index (IPI). Serum IL-2, were measured using a sensitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay pretreatment frozen sera from 43 patients with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. we included divided into two groups, one high risk other low according IPI regard their ages, stages, performance status,...

Studies have investigated expression status of galectin-3 (Gal-3), but very little is known about the importance circulating Gal-3 in patients with breast cancer (BC). The purpose study was to investigate clinical significance and potential diagnostic value plasma levels BC.Fifty-two BC 35 age-matched healthy controls were enrolled. Levels controls. determined using ELISA method.Serum significantly higher than (P = 0.002). did not differ according patients' statuses lymph node involvement,...

Breast cancer (BC) is the most common among women and a major cause of death. Signal Peptide-Cub-Epidermal growth factor domain-containing protein-1 (SCUBE1) secreted under hypoxia inflammatory conditions from platelet alpha granules. Its biological function uncertain, although it may be procoagulant substance in patients. SCUBE1 useful for identifying thrombotic diseases, including cancers acute coronary syndromes. D-dimer reflects relationship between coagulation activation fibrinolysis;...

Since multiple myeloma responds poorly to conventional chemotherapy or radiotherapy, new therapeutic approaches are needed. This study investigated the effects of dexamethasone, all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA), active metabolite vitamin D(3) [1,25(OH)(2)D(3)] and interferon-alpha on FO mouse cells (non-immunoglobulin-secreting cell line) in single drug combination groups vitro.Apoptosis ratio change counts 4 (dexamethasone, ATRA, interferon-alpha) 6 (dexamethasone + D(3,) dexamethasone...
