Relationship between white blood cell count and circulating anti-endothelial cell antibodies detected in patients with peripheral arterial disease

چکیده
Background and objectives: Circulating anti-endothelial cell antibodies (AECAs) are elevated in peripheral arterial disease (PAD) patients. In this context, these autoantibodies have been associated with the endothelial dysfunction and the pro-inflammatory status that surrounds atherosclerosis. On the other hand, white blood cell (WBC) count and inflammatory markers have been consistently associated with cardiovascular events and PAD. Our aim is to investigate the relationship between circulating AECAs and WBC count in patients with PAD.

Sex Hormones and Peripheral White Blood Cell Subsets in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Patients
Background: Systemic Lupus Eyrythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease charac-terized by antibodies to nuclear antigens, particularly anti-dsDNA. Imbalance between production and destruction of immune cells causes cytopenia. Sex hormones have im-munomodulatory effects; estrogen increases the production of autoantibodies in SLE prone NZB/NZW mice. Objective: To investigate the relationship bet...

Objectives: In the elderly, total WBc decreases slightly. in response to sepsis the increase in WBc is so dramatic. There are some reports about effects of increasing the number of WBc as a predisposing factor of bacteremia and further association of neutrophili a and leukopenia with increased mortality rate in the elderly. The aim of this study was to determine relationship between age and per...

Background: Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) refers to the reduction or blockage of all or part of the coronary arteries due to the process of atherosclerosis or the presence of a clot. The aim of this study was to investigate the association of serum miR-197 as a diagnostic index in patients with coronary artery disease. Methods: In this study, 100 patients with CAD were selected. Extraction of...

Abstract Introduction: Increased levels of microparticles (MPs) have been reported in many autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis (MS). In MS, endothelial cells release MPs from their membranes following the activation of lymphocytes and the production of inflammatory cytokines. The aim of this study was to investigate the inhibitory effect of interferon beta (INFβ) on the release of en...
