There are reports showing that pro-inflammatory cytokines are dysregulated in patients with Down's syndrome (DS). However, most of these reports concern adults. We analyzed cytokine levels in serum samples from children with DS, and compared them with samples from intellectually disabled (ID), and healthy, control children. Blood samples were collected from 24 DS, 24 age-/sex-matched ID, and 24...

Antioksidan memiliki berat molekul kecil mampu menangkal terbentuknya radikal bebas didalam tubuh sehingga dapat menghambat kerusakan sel. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode eksperimental, bahan uji bunga cara maserasi pelarut etanol pro analisis. diawali...

to investigate the igg content and its variations in uterine fluid (uf) during the estrous cycle of the cow and to compare them with those of the blood serum (s), six pairs of serum and uf samples for each phase of the cycle selected out of 240 bovine genital tracts and blood samples were collected from urmia abattoir. the uf samples were collected by gentle scraping of the endometrium using a ...

Purpose: To study the production of angiodrastic chemokines by colonic cancer cell lines. Methods: A pro-angiogenic factor (VEGF), two angiogenic (CXCL8, CXCL6), and one angiostatic (CXCL4) chemokine were measured ELISA in supernatants colon lines HT-29 Caco-2. Cells cultured for 24 h presence serum from patients or healthy individuals. Results analyzed one-way ANOVA General Linear Model repeat...

Background. We investigated the cardiac effects of TSH (thyroid-stimulating hormone) oversuppression in women with thyroidectomized differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) during levothyroxine suppression therapy. Methods. Fourteen young female patients with DTC were enrolled. The duration of TSH-suppressive therapy was 5 to 9 years. They satisfied the following criteria: (1) a serum level of TSH <...

INTRODUCTION It is unclear whether the fluid status, as determined by bioimpedance vector analysis (BIVA) combined with serum N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptides (NT-pro-BNP) measurement, is associated with treatment outcome among patients receiving continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT). Our objective was to answer this question. METHODS Patients who were in the intensive care un...

Aortic smooth muscle cells were cultivated as monolayers on plastic or within collagen lattices with low- and high-serum supplementation, and the expression of mRNAs specific for pro alpha 1 (I) and pro alpha 1 (III) collagen were studied by slot blot hybridization. The steady-state levels of pro alpha 1 (I) and pro alpha 1 (III) collagen mRNA of cells within collagen lattices were found to be ...
