Inflammation markers and liver dysfunction

Endothelial Dysfunction and Inflammation

Prediction of Post-Operative Liver Dysfunction by Serum Markers of Liver Fibrosis in Hepatocellular Carcinoma

AIM To investigate the role of biomarkers in predicting postoperative liver dysfunction in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). METHODS A total of 200 patients operated from July 2009 to June 2010 at Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University for pathologically confirmed HCC were retrospectively analyzed for clinical data, HBD DNA level and serum biochemical markers for liver fibrosis. The...

Diet-quality scores and plasma concentrations of markers of inflammation and endothelial dysfunction.

BACKGROUND Endothelial dysfunction is one of the mechanisms linked to an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. OBJECTIVE We assessed the association between several diet-quality scores and plasma concentrations of markers of inflammation and endothelial dysfunction. DESIGN Diet-quality scores on the Healthy Eating Index (HEI), Alternate Healthy Eating Index (AHEI), Diet Quality Index Re...

Major dietary patterns are related to plasma concentrations of markers of inflammation and endothelial dysfunction.

BACKGROUND Endothelial dysfunction is one of the mechanisms linking diet and the risk of cardiovascular disease. OBJECTIVE We evaluated the hypothesis that dietary patterns (summary measures of food consumption) are directly associated with markers of inflammation and endothelial dysfunction, particularly C-reactive protein (CRP), interleukin 6, E-selectin, soluble intercellular adhesion mole...
