Increasing levels of hypoxia in prostate carcinoma correlate significantly with increasing clinical stage and patient age

Face Growth Modeling with Increasing Age in Child and Adolescents

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to present a cranifacial growth model using anthropometry based on changes observed in the human face. Materials and Methods: This cross sectional analytical study was conducted randomly on 45 pepole, with normal face patterns.Facial and cranial ratios were measured and compared. Data was analyzed by SPSS software. The regression line and the growth coeffic...

Plasma Adiponectin Levels Correlate Positively with an Increasing Number of Components of Frailty in Male Elders

OBJECTIVE Frailty is an important geriatric syndrome. Adiponectin is an important adipokine that regulates energy homeostasis. The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between plasma adiponectin levels and frailty in elders. METHODS The demographic data, body weight, metabolic and inflammatory parameters, including plasma glucose, total cholesterol, triglyceride, tumor necrosi...

Increasing plasmalogen levels protects human endothelial cells during hypoxia.

Supplementation of cultured human pulmonary arterial endothelial cells (PAEC) with sn-1-O-hexadecylglycerol (HG) resulted in an approximately twofold increase in cellular levels of plasmalogens, a subclass of phospholipids known to have antioxidant properties; this was due, primarily, to a fourfold increase in the choline plasmalogens. Exposure of unsupplemented human PAEC to hypoxia (PO(2) = 2...

Serum Levels of Monocyte Chemoattractant Protein-1 Correlate with Poor Clinical Grades in Cerebral Aneurysms

Background : Ruptured cerebral aneurysms (ICAs) are the most common non-traumatic cause of subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) that is associated with life threatening complications such as Vasospasm, Infarction, and Hydrocephalus (HCP). The active participation of macrophage/monocyte-mediated inflammatory response in the pathogenesis of cerebral aneurysm as labeled with Monocyte ChemoattractantProte...
