Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) insertion/deletion (I/D) polymorphism and circulating ACE levels are not associated with outcome in critically ill septic patients
Tsantes, Argirio E.; Tsangaris, I.; Kopterides, Petros; Nikolopoulos, Georgios K.; Kalamara, Eleni; Antonakos, Georgios; Kapsimali, Violetta; Gialeraki, Argiri; Dimopoulou, Ioanna; Orfanos, S.; Dima, Kleanthi; Travlou, Anthi S.; Armaganidis, Apostolos (2012)Background: In critically ill patients independent studies have shown contradictory findings regarding the prognostic significance of the D/D genotype of the I/D angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) polymorphism. The study ...

Association between the plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 4G/5G polymorphism and venous thrombosis
Tsantes, Argirio E.; Nikolopoulos, Georgios K.; Bagos, Pantelis G.; Rapti, E.; Mantzios, Georgios P.; Kapsimali, Violetta; Travlou, Anthi S. (2007)The effect of the 675 insertion/deletion (4G/5G) polymorphism of plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) gene on the risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) remains controversial. In this study, we performed a meta-analysis ...

The effect of homocysteine on the clinical outcomes of ventilated patients with severe sepsis
Tsantes, Argirio E.; Tsangaris, I.; Nikolopoulos, Georgios K.; Bagos, Pantelis G.; Kopterides, Petros; Antonakos, Georgios; Dimopoulou, Ioanna; Vrioni, G.; Kapsimali, Violetta; Dima, Kleanthi; Armaganidis, Apostolos; Travlou, Anthi S. (2010)Background. There is considerable evidence that elevated plasma homocysteine levels are associated with a prothrombotic milieu, whereas activation of the coagulation cascade is an important component of the pathogenesis ...

The effect of plasma homocysteine levels on clinical outcomes of patients with acute lung injury/acute respiratory distress syndrome
Tsangaris, I.; Tsantes, Argirio E.; Bagos, Pantelis G.; Nikolopoulos, Georgios K.; Kroupis, C.; Kopterides, Petros; Dimopoulou, Ioanna; Orfanos, S.; Kardoulaki, A.; Chideriotis, S.; Travlou, Anthi S.; Armaganidis, Apostolos (2009)Background: Several reports have shown that homocysteine promotes thrombosis by disturbing the procoagulant-anticoagulant balance, whereas alterations in coagulation and fibrinolysis have been suggested as important ...

Integrin, alpha 2 gene C807T polymorphism and risk of ischemic stroke: A meta-analysis
Nikolopoulos, Georgios K.; Tsantes, Argirio E.; Bagos, Pantelis G.; Travlou, Anthi S.; Vaiopoulos, G. (2007)Introduction: Platelet adhesion to fibrillar collagen via the membrane glycoprotein (GP) Ia/IIa (α2β1), is a crucial event in the pathogenesis of arterial occlusive disorders. The C807T single nucleotide polymorphism of ...

Tsantes, Argirio E.; Nikolopoulos, Georgios K.; Bagos, Pantelis G.; Vaiopoulos, G.; Travlou, Anthi S. (2007)Background: The platelet-collagen receptor, glycoprotein (GP) la/lla plays a crucial role in the adhesion of platelets to fibrillar collagen, an event contributing to the pathogenesis of thrombosis. The C807T polymorphism ...

Plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 4G/5G polymorphism and risk of ischemic stroke: A meta-analysis
Tsantes, Argirio E.; Nikolopoulos, Georgios K.; Bagos, Pantelis G.; Tsiara, Chrissa G.; Kapsimali, Violetta; Travlou, Anthi S.; Vaiopoulos, G. (2007)This study investigated the hypothesis that the insertion/deletion (4G/5G) polymorphism of the plasminogen activator inhibitor type-1 gene affects the risk for ischemic stroke, since results concerning this association ...
