Evaluation of Bcl2/BAX genes expression ratio as a marker of inflammatory bowel disease
Background: Apoptosis is an essential physiological process to maintain immune homeostasis. T-cell incorrect apoptosis appears to be involved in chronic inflammatory diseases such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The aim of this study was to evaluate the Bcl2/BAX genes expression ratio in patients with IBD (Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis) compared to healthy persons. Materials and M...
متن کاملSweet Syndrome Accompanying Inflammatory Bowel Disease in a Child
Acute neutrophilic dermatosis, first described in 1964 by Robert Douglas Sweet, is characterized by sudden onset fever, neutrophilic leukocytosis, and well demarcated erythematous papules, nodules, and plaques with dense neutrophilic infiltrates on histologic evaluation.Here is a report of a 7-year-old girl who presented with high grade fever, and discrete erythematous papular skin eruptions, w...
متن کاملPentraxin 3: A Novel Biomarker for Inflammatory Cardiovascular Disease
Numerous studies have recently examined the role of pentraxin 3 (PTX3) in clinical situations. The pentraxin family includes C-reactive protein (CRP); however, unlike CRP, PTX3 is expressed predominantly in atherosclerotic lesions that involve macrophages, neutrophils, dendritic cells, or smooth muscle cells. Interestingly, PTX3 gene expression in human endothelial cells is suppressed to a grea...
متن کاملSerum YKL-40, a potential new marker of disease activity in patients with inflammatory bowel disease.
BACKGROUND YKL-40 is secreted by macrophages and neutrophils and is a growth factor for vascular endothelial cells and fibroblasts. Elevated serum concentrations of YKL-40 are found in patients with diseases characterized by inflammation or ongoing fibrosis. The aim of this study was to seek association between serum YKL-40 in patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn disease (CD) and cli...
متن کاملBiological therapy of inflammatory bowel disease.
Ulcerative colitis (UC), Crohn's disease (CD) and indeterminate colitis are defined as inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD). Those diseases involve disorders of numerous immunological mechanisms associated with cellular and humoral immune response. In CD cellular response is considered to be of crucial importance, and dominant cytokines include: tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha), interferon ...
