Assessment of Association between Duffy Blood Group Phenotypes and Susceptibility to Systemic Lupus Erythematosus and its Severity

Background: Considering the role of Duffy antigenic system expression on RBCs as chemokines for inflammatory cytokines, expression of Duffy antigens as different phenotypes was studied in a group of patients with SLE. The association between different phenotypes of Duffy antigens and occurrence of SLE and its severity was assessed.  Methods: This cross-sectional study was carried out on 100 pa...

Chagas’ disease and Duffy antigen/receptor for chemokine (DARC): a mini-review

Duffy gene (FY) codifies the transmembrane glycoprotein Duffy (gp-Fy) of 35 to 43 kDa which is moderately immunogenic. This glycoprotein is polymorphic, and constitutes the antigens of the Duffy histo-blood system which were designated receptors for chemokines and denominated DARC (Duffy antigen/receptor for chemokine). This receptor has an important role in the regulation of chemokine levels i...

Effect of Non- pharmacological Palliative Methods Training on Sickle Cell Anemia Outcomes

Background Drugs used by patients with sickle cell anemia to relieve pain have side effects, so the use of non-pharmacological palliative methods (such as massage, muscle relaxation, heat, drinking fluids, etc.) can be considered. We aimed to determine effect of non-pharmacological palliative methods training among adolescents with sickle cell anemia. <stro...
