Preeclampsia is one of the major conditions causing maternal morbidity and mortality throughout world. Hyperuricemia due to oxidative stress known be associated with deleterious effects on endothelial function, metabolism, platelet adhesiveness aggregation. C-reactive protein (CRP) an acute phase reactant protein, plays a role in eliciting inflammatory response characteristic preeclampsia. Pati...

The design and operation of a differential polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) fuel cell is described. The fuel cell design is based on coupled stirred tank reactors (STRs) coupled through a membrane; the gas phase in each reactor compartment is well mixed. The characteristic times for reactant flow, gas phase diffusion, and reaction were chosen so that the gas compositions at both the anode and...

In the present research, the selective oxidation of lauryl alcohol to lauraldehyde was studied under liquid-liquid phase transfer conditions using potassium chromate (K2CrO4) as an oxidizing agent and tetrabutyl ammonium bromide (TBAB) as the phase transfer catalyst. Chromium (VI) reagents are used in these oxidations since the alcohols are selectively oxidized <e...

background and aims. c-reactive protein (crp) is a well-known acute-phase reactant produced by the liver in response to inflammation caused by various stimuli. periodontal disease is a chronic infection of tooth-supporting structures characterized by attachment loss and alveolar bone loss. the aim of this study was to assess the relationship between serum c-reactive protein levels and periodont...

As large animal models continue to play an important role in translating lung-directed therapeutic strategies from laboratory animals to humans, there is an increasing interest in the analysis of endogenous regulators of inflammation at both a genomic and a therapeutic level. To this end, we have sought to characterize the ovine ortholog of elafin, an important regulator of inflammation in huma...

There is compelling evidence that atherosclerosis is an inflammatory disease.1 Increased levels of markers of systemic inflammation, such as the acute-phase reactant C-reactive protein, have been associated with acute coronary events in patients with atherosclerosis.2 The secretory group II phospholipase A2 (sPLA2) recently has been added to the group of acute-phase reactants,3 and its plasma l...

Introduction: Elevated levels of CRP are present among patients at risk for further first-ever myocardial infarction and stroke. It has been shown that after ischemic stroke, increased levels of CRP are associated with unfavorable outcomes. Methods: From 120 patients admitted to the emergency unit of our hospital with the diagnosis of stroke CRP, D-dimer and ferritin level was measured and the ...

BackgroundInflammation and malnutrition are common problems in patients who hospitalized for acute heart failure (AHF). C-reactive protein (CRP) is an acute-phase reactant nonspecific marker evaluating systemic inflammation. There has been growing interest prealbumin nutritional assessment. Additionally, a negative because its synthesis suppressed the inflammatory setting which cytokines stimul...
