Apoptosis and hepatitis C virus infection in renal transplant recipients
(2008)Hepatocellular injury in renal transplant recipients with hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection remains unclear. The suppressed immune response, in combination with increased viremia levels, provides a unique setting for the ...

The complex pathogenesis of bacteremia: From antimicrobial clearance mechanisms to the genetic background of the host
(2014)Bacteremia develops when bacteria manage to escape the host immune mechanisms or when the otherwise well-orchestrated immune response fails to control bacterial spread due to inherent or acquired immune defects that are ...

Measuring recent thymic emigrants in blood of normal and HIV-1-infected individuals before and after effective therapy
(1999)The role of the thymus in HIV-1 pathogenesis remains unclear. We developed an assay to quantify the number of recent thymic emigrants in blood based on the detection of a major excisional DNA byproduct (termed α1 circle) ...

No evidence for association of CTLA-4 gene polymorphisms with the risk of developing multiple sclerosis: A meta-analysis
(2007)We conducted a meta-analysis concerning the association of cytotoxic T lymphocyte-associated antigen 4 (CTLA-4) gene polymorphisms with the risk of developing multiple sclerosis (MS). We identified 18 eligible studies ...

Noncardiogenic pulmonary edema: An unusual and serious complication of anticancer therapy
(2001)Noncardiogenic pulmonary edema (NCPE) is a rare and less well-recognizable pulmonotoxic syndrome of anticancer therapy than pneumonitis/fibrosis. NCPE is a clinical syndrome characterized by simultaneous presence of severe ...

Profiling early infection responses: Pseudomonas aeruginosa eludes host defenses by suppressing antimocrobial peptide gene expression
(2005)Insights into the host factors and mechanisms mediating the primary host responses after pathogen presentation remain limited, due in part to the complexity and genetic intractability of host systems. Here, we employ the ...

The prognostic value of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in invasive breast cancer: Correlation with microvessel density (MVD), ER, PgR, p53 and proliferative associated indices (Ki-67, PCNA)
(2002)The formation of new vessels in both primary tumour and in metastasis induce various growth factors included the vascular endothelial growth factors (VEGF). The immunohistochemical expression of vascular endothelial growth ...

Targeting c-KIT, PDGFR in cancer of unknown primary: A screening study for molecular markers of benefit
(2008)Aims: In view of available targeted therapies, we investigated the presence of c-kit, PDGFR gene mutations and protein expression in cancer of unknown primary (CUP) in order to study their contribution in pathogenesis, ...
