The Use of Crude Plasmodium falciparum Antigens for Comparison of Antibody Responses in Patients with Mild Malaria vs. Cerebral Malaria
Background: Cerebral malaria (CM) is one of the major causes of death in African populations infected with Plasmodium falciparum. Only 1% of infected subjects develop CM. The reasons for these differences are not fully understood, but it is likely that the host humoral response against blood-stage antigens plays a role in protection from malaria, although the precise targets and mechanisms medi...
متن کاملAssociation of Uric Acid with Antioxidant Capacity of Plasma in Patients with Type 2 Diabetic Nephropathy
Background: The role of attenuation in antioxidant capacity or expansion of pro-oxidant/oxidant is well known for the development of stress oxidative. The aim of this study was to evaluate the plasma antioxidant capacity along with uric acid in patients with diabetic nephropathy (DN+) and without diabetic nephropathy (DN-). Materials and Methods: The research population included 88 patients ...
متن کاملA Potential Role for Plasma Uric Acid in the Endothelial Pathology of Plasmodium falciparum malaria
BACKGROUND Inflammatory cytokinemia and systemic activation of the microvascular endothelium are central to the pathogenesis of Plasmodium falciparum malaria. Recently, 'parasite-derived' uric acid (UA) was shown to activate human immune cells in vitro, and plasma UA levels were associated with inflammatory cytokine levels and disease severity in Malian children with malaria. Since UA is associ...
متن کاملUric Acid Level and Glycemic Status in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes
Background: Diabetes is one of the most common chronic diseases with an increasing prevalence worldwide. On the other hand, the relationship between Uric Acid (UA) level and glycemic index in type 2 diabetic patients is not clear. Objective: This study aims to evaluate the UA level and glycemic status in patients with type 2 diabetes. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, participants were ...
