Diagnostic Value of Serum Levels of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor as a Marker of Tubal Pregnancy
Background and purpose: Tubal pregnancy is a life threatening condition that not only causes mortality but also reduces fertility by less than 50%. In many patients, the level of βhCG does not reach detection threshold, and for definite diagnosis, long-term follow-up considering βhCG titration and transvaginal ultrasonography are needed which could lead to delay in diagnosis and treatment. The ...
متن کاملPrognostic significance of serum hepatocyte growth factor in clear cell renal cell carcinoma: comparison with serum vascular endothelial growth factor.
No adequate serum predictive biomarker currently exists, which can identify the activity of renal cell carcinoma (RCC). We investigate the association of serum hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) and serum vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) levels with clinicopathologic parameters in untreated clear cell RCC patients. We measured serum levels of HGF and VEGF in 45 patients with untreated clea...
متن کاملHepatocyte growth factor as a hematopoietic regulator.
Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) was originally isolated as a mitogen for adult hepatocytes, but this cytokine is now regarded as a multi-functional factor. In the present study, we show that the mouse liver in the middle and/or late stage of the fetal life expresses both HGF and c-met (its receptor) messages. HGF and c-met mRNA are coexpressed not only in the adherent layers of fetal liver long-...
متن کاملSignificance of circulating hepatocyte growth factor level as a prognostic indicator in primary breast cancer.
The circulating hepatocyte growth factor (HGF)/scatter factor level is frequently increased in advanced cancer patients. In this study, we have assessed the prognostic value of the circulating HGF level determined by enzymatic immunoassay in primary breast cancer patients. Of 200 primary breast cancer patients, 54 (27.0%) showed the increase of serum HGF level according to the age-matched cutof...
متن کاملAnalysis of Soluble Mesenchymal-Epithelial Transition Factor and Hepatocyte Growth Factor Serum Levels in Children With Autism Spectrum Disorder
Background: Hepatocyte Growth Factor (HGF) and its receptor, Mesothelial-Epithelial Transition (cMet) factor signaling, play an essential role in controlling synaptogenesis. Objectives: Because of the vital role of HGF and Met signaling in synaptogenesis and spatial learning function of the brain’s hippocampal region, we aimed to study the HGF and soluble cMet (s-cMet) serum levels in childre...
