متن کاملExpression of collagen types I, II and III in juvenile angiofibromas.
Extracellular matrix components have rarely been the focus of interest in juvenile angiofibroma (JA) studies. Although JAs are known to be collagen-rich tumours, single collagens have not been analysed so far. This investigation aimed to study the expression of the fibrillar collagen types I, II and III in JAs using quantitative RT-PCR (n = 15), Western blot analysis (n = 7) and immunohistochem...
متن کاملCarboxyterminal propeptide of type I procollagen in ELF: elevation in asbestosis, but not in pleural plaque disease.
Markers of collagen metabolism may possibly be used in the assessment of pulmonary involvement in asbestosis-related pulmonary diseases. In this study the levels of the carboxyterminal propeptide of type I procollagen (PICP) and the aminoterminal propeptide of type III procollagen (PIIINP) were evaluated in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF), epithelial lining fluid (ELF) and serum from patien...
متن کاملTotal procollagen type 1 amino-terminal propeptide (total P1NP) as a bone metastasis marker in gynecological carcinomas.
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was the investigation of the diagnostic value of the amino-terminal propeptide of type I collagen (P1NP) and the tumour markers, CA 15-3 and CA 125, in patients with breast and ovarian cancer. PATIENTS AND METHODS Serum levels of P1NP, CA 15-3 and CA 125 were analyzed using specific immunoassays. Baseline serum samples of 66 patients with metastatic breast can...
متن کاملEvaluation of serum AFP (α-fetoprotein) level in HBsAg carrier patients for diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma
Background: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is common all over the world as well as Iran. The incidence of HCC is higher in hepatitis B carriers and it is highly recommended to periodically screen these patients by serum alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) and liver ultrasound (US) every 6 months. We explore the diagnostic accuracy and the performance of (AFP) in cases of hepatitis B carriers as a scree...
