Serum protein carbonyl and total antioxidant capacity levels in pemphigus vulgaris and bullous pemphigoid
Authors
Abstract:
Background: Pemphigus diseases including pemphigus vulgaris (PV) and bullous pemphigoid (BP) are autoimmune diseases that cause severe blistering of the skin and mucous membranes. Among inflammatory mediators, reactive oxygen species (ROS) are involved in the pathogenesis of a wide variety of diseases through oxidative stress for which protein carbonyl (PC) and total antioxidant capacity (TAC) are two important markers.Methods: We utilized PC and TAC in this study to compare the serum redox status of PV and BP patients with healthy subjects to investigate the possible ro

Oral lesions in patients with pemphigus vulgaris and bullous pemphigoid.
Thirty three patients admitted to the University Department of Dermatology and Venereology, Sestre milosrdnice University Hospital, were included in the study. The purpose of the study was to compare data on age and gender, habits, lesion localization, onset of symptoms and therapy between patients with pemphigus vulgaris and those suffering from bullous pemphigoid. Based on clinical presentati...
full textBullous Pemphigoid, Mucous Membrane Pemphigoid and Pemphigus Vulgaris: An Update on Pathobiology
Pemphigoid and pemphigus vulgaris (PV) are autoimmune diseases that cause potentially debilitating erosions and blistering of the skin and/or mucous membranes. In bullous pemphigoid (BP), autoantibodies target components of the basement membrane zone (BMZ), most importantly the hemidesmosomal proteins, BP180 and BP230. Research efforts have uncovered some of the complex mechanisms that cause th...

full textEffect of Melatonin Treatment on Serum Levels of Mineral Elements, Total Oxidant and Antioxidant Capacity in Mustard Exposed Patients
Sulfur mustard (SM) is a mutagenic compound that causes oxidative stress, antioxidant depletion even several years after exposure. Melatonin is an alternative medication that has antioxidant peroperties. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of melatonin treatment on serum levels of several mineral elements, total antioxidant (TAC) and total oxidant status (TOS) in sulfur mustard-...
full textInvestigation of serum APRIL and BAFF levels in pemphigus vulgaris patients in Southern Iran
Background: Pemphigus vulgaris, the most common form of pemphigus, is due to the production of auto-antibodies directed against adhesion molecules (desmoglein 1 and 3) that belong to the cadherin family. B cell-activating factor of the TNF family (BAFF) and a proliferation-inducing ligand (APRIL) may play a significant role in autoimmune diseases such as pemphigus vulgaris. Only a few studies h...
