Background: Nasal inflammatory disorders such as chronic rhinosinusitis and nasal polyp are among the most prevalent complications with high socioeconomic costs. Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) plays a key role in angiogenesis and cell proliferation. In the present study the effect of VEGF on the development and prognosis of chronic rhinosinusitis and nasal p...

Background: The pathogenesis of many diseases is correlated to irregularity in vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) expression. Results from several association studies show that variation in the level of VEGF expression is related to polymorphic sequences within the VEGF gene. Additionally, there are many studies showing that some gene polymorphisms significantly influence the pharmacokin...

background: nasal inflammatory disorders such as chronic rhinosinusitis and nasal polyp are among the most prevalent complications with high socioeconomic costs. vascular endothelial growth factor (vegf) plays a key role in angiogenesis and cell proliferation. in the present study the effect of vegf on the development and prognosis of chronic rhinosinusitis and nasal polyp was investigated. met...

objective: unexplained recurrent spontaneous abortion (ursa) is one of the main complications of pregnancy which is usually defined as three or more consecutive pregnancy losses before the 20th week of gestation without a known cause. vascular endothelial growth factor (vegf) is a potent angiogenic factor and shown, along with its receptors (vegfr1, 2), to play important roles in several physio...

objective(s):although previous studies have confirmed the beneficial effects of human umbilical cord matrix stem cell (hucm) transplantation post myocardial infarction (mi), but this stem cell resource has no potential to induce angiogenesis. in order to achieve the process of angiogenesis and cardiomyocyte regeneration, two required factors for cardiac repair agents were examined namely; hucm ...

Background: Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) has a key role in angiogene-sis and in transplantation. The level of VEGF is related to the differences in the DNA sequence of its promoter region. Objectives: In this study, the association between the combination of VEGF –1154 G and –2578 C alleles and VEGF production by LPS-stimulated PBMCs was investigated. In addition; the relationship ...

background: recently, the development of new biomarkers as prognostic and predictive markers in prostate cancer has been crucial. objectives: this study was aimed to determine whether serum vascular endothelial growth factor (vegf) levels would be a prognostic marker or risk assessment factor in patients with prostate cancer and to investigate whether it could differentiate cancerous tissue fro...
