Flower Essential Oil of Hymnocrater platystegius Rech. f., a Labiate Herb Indigenous in Iran

The hydrodistilled essential oil from flowers of Hymenocrater platystegius Rech. f., which isendemic to Iran, was analyzed by GC and GC/MS. Twelve compounds representing 80.4%of the flowers oil of H. platystegius were identified. This oil was particularly rich in α-pinene(25.8%) and limonene (20.9%); another major component of the oil was β-pinene (12.2%).

Simultaneous Detection of IgA/IgG AntiTissue Transglutaminase/Deamidated Gliadin Peptides in Serodiagnosis of Celiac Disease

Background: Celiac disease is a common autoimmune disorder that is diagnosed based on clinical case identification, serological screening, and duodenal histology. However, the existence of mild clinical forms, such as seronegative cases with patchy atrophy and potential celiac disease, can make it difficult to determine a definitive diagnosis. The seronegative patients with celiac disease can i...

IgG antibodies against deamidated gliadin peptides for diagnosis of celiac disease in patients with IgA deficiency.

BACKGROUND Assays for IgG antibodies against deamidated gliadin (IgG-anti-dGli) are comparable in performance with tests detecting IgA antibodies against tissue transglutaminase (IgA-anti-tTG) in diagnosing celiac disease (CD). IgA-anti-tTG are absent in IgA deficiency, a condition often associated with CD. In IgA deficiency, IgG-anti-tTG, which have a lower overall diagnostic accuracy, are rou...

Antibodies against deamidated gliadin peptides and tissue transglutaminase for diagnosis of pediatric celiac disease.

OBJECTIVES The aim of the present study was to evaluate diagnostic performance and actual costs in clinical practice of immumoglobulin (Ig)G/IgA deamidated gliadin peptide antibodies (DGP) as a complement to IgA antibodies against tissue transglutaminase (tTG) for the diagnosis of pediatric celiac disease (CD). METHODS All of the consecutive patients younger than 18 years tested for tTG and/o...
