Cathepsin D Is a Potential Serum Marker for Poor Prognosis
Cathepsin D is an aspartyl protease involved in protein catabolism and tissue remodeling which can be secreted from cancer cells. To identify a potential serum marker for gliomas, we investigated the gene expression levels of cathepsin D in 87 tissue samples and measured the protein concentrations in sera of glioma patients. The tissue samples consisted of 43 glioblastomas, 13 anaplastic astroc...
متن کاملHyponatremia is a surrogate marker of poor outcome in peritoneal dialysis-related peritonitis
BACKGROUND Hyponatremia is known to be a marker of poor prognosis in many clinical conditions. The association between hyponatremia and clinical outcomes in peritoneal dialysis-related peritonitis (PDRP) has not been studied. We evaluated the association between hyponatremia and clinical parameters of patients with PDRP. METHODS We conducted a retrospective analysis of medical records of pati...
متن کاملRatio of mean platelet volume to platelet count is a potential surrogate marker predicting liver cirrhosis
AIM To provide a simple surrogate marker predictive of liver cirrhosis (LC). METHODS Specimens from 302 patients who underwent resection for hepatocellular carcinoma between January 2006 and December 2012 were retrospectively analyzed. Based on pathologic findings, patients were divided into groups based on whether or not they had LC. Parameters associated with hepatic functional reserve were...
متن کاملAtherosclerosis Surrogate Marker in Diabetic Patients
Objective: Duplex ultrasonography is a non-invasive, non-expensive screening test for carotid disease. Intima media thickness (IMT) is appropriate for atherosclerosis process diagnosis. Leukoaraisis (LA) increase the risk of cerebrovascular accident (CVA). LA patients need preventive medication for CVA. IMT is a non-invasive diagnostic and prognostic test in LA. The aim of this study was evalua...
متن کاملOxidation-reduction potential as a new marker for oxidative stress: Correlation to male infertility
Male infertility affects men worldwide. Oxidative stress (OS), characterized by an overabundance of reactive oxygen species (ROS) or a deficiency of antioxidants, is one of the major causes of male infertility. OS causes damage at the molecular level, which impairs lipids, proteins, and DNA. The cyclic cascade of redox reactions weakens sperm function which leads to poor semen parameters and ev...
