چکیده

background: basic fibroblast growth factor (bfgf) is a glycoprotein with stimulating ability of angiogenesis. in addition, bfgf plays an important role in wound healing process in some tissues for example gastrointestinal tract, but its ability for discrimination of various stages of wound severity in these diseases was not reported. therefore, we aimed to determine the bfgf levels in gastric ulcer patients compared with healthy controls as a biomarker for staging the severity of wound. methods: the study group consisted of 33 patients with gastric ulcer and 27 healthy controls. the diagnosis of patients was based on standard clinical, endoscopic, and histological criteria. serum levels of bfgf were analyzed by an elisa kit. results: according to the histological findings, 19 (57.6%) patients were in moderate stage of ulcer and 14 (42.4%) were in the severe stage of gastric ulcer. the mean bfgf serum levels in patients group (7.8±1.3pg/ml) were lower than the healthy group (8.2±1.4pg/ml) in crude data, but in statistical analysis the differences were not significant (p=0.082). the mean bfgf serum levels in patients with severe stage of gastric ulcer were greater than the patients with moderate gastric ulcer (8.4±1.3 vs. 7.4±1.2 pg) and the differences were statistically significant (p<0.05).conclusion: the differences in serum bfgf levels in patients with severe stage of gastric ulcer vs. moderate gastric ulcer was significant. therefore, serum bfgf level measurements can be used as a useful clinical tool for discrimination of patients with severe stage of gastric ulcer vs. moderate gastric ulcer, when endoscopic and histological examination are not possible to perform.

Basic fibroblast growth factor as a potential biomarker for diagnosing malignant tumor metastasis in women

Previous studies have reported that basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) is associated with tumor genesis, growth and prognosis. The present study was conducted to detect the levels of bFGF expression in women with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), colon cancer, breast cancer and melanoma, and analyze its association with the clinicopathological characteristics of malignant tumors. The tumor...

Serum Myeloperoxidase as A Biomarker of Asthma Severity Among Adults: A Case Control Study

Background: The contribution of neutrophils is still indistinct in the inflammatory response of bronchial asthma (BAs). Myeloperoxidase (MPO) is an  enzyme released from the primary azurophilic granules of the neutrophils. The study aimed to evaluate the levels of serum MPO as a biomarker for the assessment of the level of asthma control.  Methods: The study participants included 94 asthmat...
