background serum apoptotic cytokeratine 18 neoepitope m30 (ck-18 m30) and matrix metalloproteinase 2 (mmp-2) have been popular markers for detecting liver fibrosis in recent years. ck-18 is a major intermediate filament protein in liver cells and one of the most prominent substrates of caspases during hepatocyte apoptosis. mmp-2 plays an important role in tissue remodeling and repairing process...

In this work, the postulation that weak CP phase originates in a certain geometry, is further discussed. Some intrinsic and strict constraints on the mixing angles, weak CP phase, and the Wolfenstein’s parameters ρ and η are given by present data and the postulation itself. Especially, we predict 0.0076 ≤ |Vtd| ≤ 0.0093, 74.9 ≤ γ ≤ 75.7 when the corresponding inputs are at the 90% C. L.. The co...

Aim: The aim of the study was to investigate the effects of in vitro hemolysis on serum creatine kinase and creatine kinase MB isoenzyme activities with creatine kinase MB mass, troponin I and myoglobin measurements. Materials and methods: We prepared serum pools having analyte concentrations at normal and pathological values. Hemolysate was added into serum pools to obtain aliquotes with final...

Cyclophosphamide (CP) is a widely used in cancer chemotherapy and immunosuppression, which could cause toxicity of the normal cells due to its toxic metabolites. Probucol, cholesterol-lowering drug, acts as potential inhibitor of DNA damage and shows to protect against doxorubicin-induced cardiomyopathy by enhancing the endogenous antioxidant system including glutathione peroxidase, catalase an...
