The influence of chronic periodontitis on serum TNF-alpha, IL-6 and hs-CRP concentrations, and function of graft and survival of kidney transplant recipients.

14 Dec 2009 OBJECTIVE: The aim of the study is to analyze whether chronic periodontitis (CP) influences serum tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha, interleukin (IL)-6, and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) concentrations in renal transplant recipients ... Read more...

Serum IL-6 levels and the risk for hepatocarcinogenesis in chronic hepatitis C patients: an analysis based on gender differences.

13 Nov 2009 Interleukin-6 (IL-6) may play a role in the pathogenesis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Recently, it was reported in mouse models that estrogen-mediated inhibition of IL-6 production explains the gender disparity in HCC. We conducted a ... Read more...

Diagnostic accuracy of neutrophil-derived circulating free DNA (cf-DNA/NETs) for septic arthritis.

30 Oct 2009 The release of "neutrophil extracellular traps" (NETs) has been identified as a novel immune response in innate immunity. NETs are composed of neutrophil-derived circulating free DNA (cf-DNA) and neutrophil cytoplasm-derived proteins such as ... Read more...
