evaluation of total protein concentration in serum of veterans exposed to sulfur mustard gas
نویسندگان
چکیده
the aim of this study was to compare the total protein levels in serum of veteran exposure to sulfur mustard (sm) which was used in the iran-iraq war. in this study, 35 patients exposed to mustard gas (case group) and 35 healthy subjects (control group) were evaluated. the total protein concentration was measured by bradford method. the average amount of protein in serum exposure to sulfur mustard (patients) in compared with a control group, showed no significant differences (p>0.05). the observed inflammatory reaction in the lungs and eyes exposed veterans with sulfur mustard gas and the total protein in the serum of healthy individual veterans did not show significant differences in inflammatory factor. therefore, it should be the amounts of inflammatory factors in local (lungs and eyes) were high and the systemic inflammatory factors may be increased.

BACKGROUND Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are a group of endopeptidases which comprised of various types. These proteolytic enzymes are zinc-dependent and play role in degradation of extracellular matrix (ECM). Various types of cells such as macrophages, fibroblasts, neutrophils, synovial cells and some epithelial cells secrete MMPs. According to previous studies on bronchiolitis and respirat...
متن کاملVitamin D3 Reduction in Individuals Exposed to Sulfur Mustard
Background: Inflammatory responses in individuals exposed to sulfur mustard occur in some organs such as lung, skin and eyes. These organs manifest overreaction in cellular and humoral immune responses. Over a long period, the immune responses often continues toward chronic inflammatory processes with some interventions. Obviously some elements have been deregulated. Therefore, this study evalu...

Introduction: IFN-γ is one of the most important cytokines in the development of chronic inflammatory diseases such as asthma and COPD. The IFN-γ promoter methylation at CpG islands could be altered by various chemical and toxic substances which may have a role in the incidence of chronic pulmonary diseases and its severity. Thereby, the present study was aimed to evaluate the effect of sulfur ...

Background: Despite observed post Sulfur Mustard (SM) exposure hemolysis, serum bilirubin concentration doesn’t significantly increase in SM-exposed casualties. The concentration of serum bilirubin can be related to serum levels of inflammatory cytokines. Objectives: In this study, the relationship between the serum levels of Interleukin (IL)-1α, IL-1β, IL-1Ra, Tumor Necrotizing Factor (TNF)-α ...
