Sustained high serum malondialdehyde levels are associated with severity and mortality in septic patients
INTRODUCTION There is a hyperoxidative state in sepsis. The objective of this study was to determine serum malondialdehyde (MDA) levels during the first week of follow up, whether such levels are associated with severity during the first week and whether non-surviving patients showed higher MDA levels than survivors during the first week. METHODS We performed an observational, prospective, mu...
متن کاملSerum Malondialdehyde Levels in Patients with Malignant Middle Cerebral Artery Infarction Are Associated with Mortality
OBJECTIVE Malondialdehyde (MDA) is an end-product formed during lipid peroxidation, due to degradation of cellular membrane phospholipids. MDA is released into extracellular space and finally into the blood; it has been used as an effective biomarker of lipid oxidation. High circulating levels of MDA have been previously described in patients with ischemic stoke than in controls, and an associa...
متن کاملSerum substance P levels are associated with severity and mortality in patients with severe traumatic brain injury
INTRODUCTION Substance P (SP) is a member of the tachykinin family of neuropeptides, which are widely distributed throughout the central nervous system (CNS) and actively involved in inflammatory processes. SP is released early following acute injury to the CNS, promoting a neurogenic inflammatory response characterized by an increase in the permeability of the blood-brain barrier and the devel...
متن کاملPentraxin-3 Serum Levels Are Associated with Disease Severity and Mortality in Patients with Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome
The long pentraxin-3 (PTX3) is a key component of the humoral arm of the innate immune system. PTX3 is produced locally in response to pro-inflammatory stimuli. To investigate PTX3 levels and its use as a biomarker in patients with systemic inflammation, we developed a solid-phase enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay based on novel anti-PTX3 monoclonal antibodies detecting PTX3 with high sensitivi...
متن کاملSerum Interleukin-15 Levels Are Associated with Severity of Pain in Patients with Knee Osteoarthritis
BACKGROUND Inflammation plays a crucial role in the development and progression of osteoarthritis (OA). Interleukin-15 (IL-15) is a well-known proinflammatory cytokine. OBJECTIVE We aimed at evaluating the relationship between serum IL-15 levels and the severity of pain as well as radiographic progression in patients with knee OA. METHODS Two hundred and twenty-six OA patients and 106 contr...
