Total and caspase-cleaved cytokeratin 18 in chronic cholecystitis: A prospective study
BACKGROUND Cell death mode has been studied in cancer, autoimmune, and neurodegenerative diseases. In this study, apoptosis and necrosis are investigated for the first time in patients with chronic calculous cholecystitis. METHODS AND MATERIALS Thirty five (35) patients (27 women and 8 men, aged 55.65 +/- 13.48 years) with symptomatic chronic calculous cholecystitis underwent laparoscopic cho...
متن کاملThe Significance of Caspase-Cleaved Cytokeratin 18 in Pleural Effusion
BACKGROUND Apoptosis plays a role in the development of pleural effusion. Caspase-cleaved cytokeratin 18, a marker for epithelial cell apoptosis, was evaluated in pleural effusion. METHODS A total of 79 patients with pleural effusion were enrolled. The underlying causes were lung cancer (n=24), parapneumonic effusion (n=15), tuberculous effusion (n=28), and transudates (n=12). The levels of M...

متن کاملCaspase-cleaved fragments of cytokeratin-18 as a marker of inflammatory activity in chronic hepatitis B virus infection.
BACKGROUND The differential diagnosis between inactive carrier and active hepatitis is important in patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB) virus infection. Serum cytokeratin (CK)-18 fragments (M30-antigen) are proposed as biomarkers of apoptosis. OBJECTIVES We investigated whether serum M30-antigen levels might help to characterize the various phases of CHB and predict the state of significa...
متن کاملCaspase-cleaved cytokeratin-18 and tumour regression in gastro-oesophageal adenocarcinomas treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy.
AIM To examine cytokeratin-18 (CK-18) and caspase-cleaved CK-18 expression in tumours and correlate with clinicopathological outcomes including tumour regression grade (TRG) response. METHODS Formalin-fixed human gastro-oesophageal cancers were constructed into tissue microarrays. The first set consisted of 122 gastric/gastro-oesophageal cancer cases not exposed to neoadjuvant chemotherapy an...
