schizophrenia is a mental disorder painful with prevalence of about 1% in the world.  nowadays, there is no experimental test aiding the accurate diagnosis of schizophrenic patients but recently quantitative determination of some serum proteins led to many investigations on the roles of these in neuropsychiatric.in the present study, our aim is to quantitative determination apoa1 and igm betwee...

Serum lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) levels are inversely related with response to immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) in patients metastatic melanoma. LDH is a key regulator of glycolysis, pathway known be upregulated malignant tumors and negatively affect antitumor immunity. We hypothesized that isotype distribution peripheral blood better reflects tumor glycolytic activity than total might ther...

background & aim:  this study aimed to determine the relationship between lipid and apolipoprotein b-100 (apo b-100) levels in maternal and umbilical cord sera as well as the effects of these components on anthropometric measurements of newborn infants. methods:this correlational study was performed on 85 appropriate for gestational age (aga) newborns and their mothers. for analysis, 5 ml of ma...

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection represents a world health problem and no protective vaccine or effective drug currently exists. For economic reasons, many patients use traditional medicines to control the infection. In Egypt, camel milk is one of the traditional medicines widely consumed by patients infected with HCV. The present study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of camel milk in the treat...

familial defective apolipoprotein (apo) b 100 (fdb) causes early-onset coronary heart diseases (chd). it is produced by r3500q mutation of the apob gene resulting in decreased binding of ldl to ldl receptor. we screened the apo b gene for r3500q mutation in 130 hypercholesterolemic patients, among whom 30 patients met criteria of familial hypercholesterolemia (fh). the prevalence of r3500q alle...

background: alzheimer's disease as a neurodegenerative disorder is the commonest type of dementia. a growing number of genes have been reported as the risk factors, which increase the susceptibility to alzheimer's disease. apolipoprotein e ( apoe) , which its ε4 allele has been reported as a risk factor in late onset alzheimer's disease (ad), is the main cholesterol carrier in the brain. the ma...

  Abstract   Background: Recently, small dense low density lipoprotein (sdLDL) has been   highlighted as a new risk factor for the coronary artery disease (CAD).Small dense   LDLs are believed to be atherogenic since these particles are taken up more easily by   arterial wall. They are readily oxidized and have reduced affinity for low density   lipoprotein (LDL) receptor and increased affinity...
