Urinary excretion of 5-S-cysteinyldopa and 6-hydroxy-5-methoxyindole-2-carboxylic acid in children.
5-S-Cysteinyldopa (5SCD) and 6-hydroxy-5-methoxyindole-2-carboxylic acid (6H5MI2C) are formed during biosynthesis of melanins. They are used as indicators of pigment formation and markers of melanoma progression in adults and could possibly be used as markers of activity, growth and even malignant transformation in large pigmented naevi in children. We investigated the urinary excretion of thes...

background urinary tract infection (uti) is common in children. uti with or without vesico-ureteral reflux (vur) may result in renal scarring. severe renal scarring impairs renal function and may result in hypertension, renal insufficiency, and end stage renal disease requiring dialyses or transplantation. beta 2 micro-globulin (ß2mg) is a low molecular weight protein freely filtered by the glo...
متن کاملIL-6/IL-10 Ratio as A Prognostic and Predictive Marker of the Severity of Inherited Epidermolysis Bullosa
Background: Recent studies have shown that cytokines have an important role in the pathogenesis of inflammatory diseases and can be used as prognostic markers. Objective: To evaluate the IL-6/IL-10 ratio in patients with Inherited Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB) as a prognostic marker. Methods: Serum levels of IL-6 and IL-10 were measured in 13 patients with recessive dystrophic EB (RDEB) as well as...
متن کاملEffect of a Carboxylic Acid on Rheological Properties of a High Alumina Cement Mortar
In this work, we studied the effect of carboxylic acid on the rheological properties of a high-alumina cement mortar (CH45) produced by the Algerian firm REFRACTAL.The investigated properties are setting time, water consumption, electrical conductivity, pH, density and the compressive strength. The results show a setting time of about 200 min for the acid...
متن کاملPrimary duodenal malignant melanoma: A case report
Background: Melanoma is a neoplasm derived commonly from melanocytic cells of skin. Although coetaneous presentation of malignant melanoma is easily recognizable, the presentation of melanoma in other organs is so confusing. In particular, when it metastasizes to other organs, many bizarre figures and unusual organs may be involved. In this report, we present a case of primary duodenal malignan...
