Superoxide dismutase 2 as a marker to differentiate tuberculous pleural effusions from malignant pleural effusions
OBJECTIVES Our previous study demonstrated that superoxide dismutase levels were higher in tuberculous pleural effusions than in malignant pleural effusions, but that this difference could not be used to discriminate between the two. The objective of the present study was to investigate the levels of superoxide dismutase 2 in pleural effusions and to evaluate the diagnostic significance of pleu...
متن کاملLevels of superoxide dismutase and malondialdehyde in primary spontaneous pneumothorax.
The aim of the present study is to determine whether patients with primary spontaneous pneumothorax (PSP) are subject to oxidative stress. For this purpose, we measured the activities of red blood cell superoxide dismutase, which is an antioxidant enzyme, and the level of plasma malondialdehyde, which is one of the lipid peroxidation markers, in a group of patients with PSP. The study was carri...
متن کاملLevels of Malondialdehyde and Superoxide Dismutase in Subclinical Hyperthyroidism
We aimed to determine whether patients with subclinical hyperthyroidism (SH) are subject to oxidative stress. Twenty-two women and 8 men having endogenous subclinical hyperthyroidism for a duration of at least 6 months, and 21 women and 9 men healthy controls were included in this study. We measured the level of plasma malondialdehyde, as one of the lipid peroxidation markers, and the activity ...
متن کاملIL-33 levels differentiate tuberculous pleurisy from malignant pleural effusions
Tuberculous pleural effusions (TPEs) and malignant pleural effusions (MPEs) are difficult to differentiate between in certain clinical situations. Interleukin (IL)-33 is a cytokine that participates in inflammatory responses and may have a role in pleural effusions. The present study aimed to investigate the concentrations and potential differential significance of IL-33 in patients with TPE an...
متن کاملManagement of malignant pleural effusions
Malignant pleural effusions (MPE) are a common occurrence in many advanced malignancies. They are a significant cause of morbidity and mortality; symptoms can be debilitating to patients and impair quality of life, especially as many of these patients are already functionally impaired by their underlying cancer and medical treatment. MPE generally represent advanced stage malignancy and the pri...
