Effect of the treatment of brucellosis on leukocyte superoxide dismutase activity and plasma nitric oxide level
(Sage Publications Inc, 2005)
Background: The mechanisms by which brucellae evade intracellular killing by polymorphonuclear leukocytes are incompletely understood. In this study we evaluated changes of leukocyte superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity and ...
Simvastatin induces proliferation inhibition and apoptosis in C6 glioma cells via c-jun N-terminal kinase
(Elsevier Ireland Ltd., 2004)
The lipid-lowering drugs statins induce apoptosis in a variety of tumor cells. Here we investigated the apoptotic effect of the lipophilic statin simvastatin in C6 glioma cells and the underlying effects on intracellular ...
Polymorphisms at the ligand binding site of the vitamin D receptor gene and osteomalacia
(Hindawi Ltd, 2005)
Vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene polymorphisms have been suggested as possible determinants of bone mineral density (BMD) and calcium metabolism. In this study our aim was to determine whether there is an association between ...

Combined radiofrequency ablation and myxoma resection through a port access approach
(Elsevier Science Inc, 2004)
Myxornas are common cardiac tumors that are traditionally managed by complete excision through a median sternotorny approach with the use of cardiopulmonary bypass. We discuss a patient with left atrial myxoma and chronic ...
DNA polymorphism of Pvu II site in the lipoprotein lipase gene in patients with non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus
(Wiley, 2005)
We studied the effect of variation at the lipoprotein lipase (LPL) gene locus on the susceptibility of individuals with non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) in a population of 110 NIDDM patients and 91 controls. ...

In this case report a young woman with gallbladder sludge and acute pancreatitis due to acute hepatitis A (HAV) is presented. She was admitted to our hospital with abnormal hepatic enzymes. Five days prior to her admission ...
Thoracic epidural anesthesia preserves myocardial function during intraoperative and postoperative period in coronary artery bypass grafting operation
(Edizioni Minerva Medica, 2005)
Aim. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of thoracic epidural anesthesia (TEA) in patients with poor ventricular function undergoing conventional coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG) during the ...
