Anticoagulants affect matrix metalloproteinase 9 levels in blood samples of stroke patients and healthy controls.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE Matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) represents a promising marker for acute stroke management. In clinical studies MMP-9 has been quantified by ELISA using differing protocols. We aimed to establish a valid protocol by evaluation of preanalytics. METHODS Blood from stroke patients (n=28)

[Immunological predictors of acute post-stroke period].

Only registered users can translate articles

At the present time, there is an increased interest in the search for biological predictors of the course and outcome of ischemic stroke (IS). Numerous studies have shown the relationship between neuroinflammation (in the brain) and systemic inflammatory response (in the

Evaluation of granulocyte elastase as a sensitive diagnostic parameter of inflammation in first ischemic stroke.

Only registered users can translate articles

Several traditional vascular risk factors are associated with proinflammatory alterations, including leukocyte activation, and predispose cerebral vasculature to thrombogenesis on inflammatory stimulation. PMN elastase derived from the activated neutrophils might play an important role in injury.

Alpha 1-antitrypsin therapy mitigated ischemic stroke damage in rats.

Only registered users can translate articles

Our objective is to develop a new therapy for the treatment of stroke. Currently, the only effective therapy for acute ischemic stroke is the thrombolytic agent recombinant tissue plasminogen activator. α1-Antitrypsin (AAT), a serine proteinase inhibitor with potent anti-inflammatory,

Fibrillar amyloid beta-protein binds protease nexin-2/amyloid beta-protein precursor: stimulation of its inhibition of coagulation factor XIa.

Only registered users can translate articles

Cerebrovascular deposition of fibrillar 39-42 amino acid amyloid beta-protein (Abeta), a condition known as cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA), is a key pathological feature of Alzheimer's disease and related disorders including hereditary cerebral hemorrhage with amyloidosis-Dutch type (HCHWA-D).

Mammalian cystatin and protagonists in brain diseases.

Only registered users can translate articles

Cystatins are the thiol Proteinase inhibitors, present ubiquitously in mammalian body. They prevent unwanted proteolysis and play important role in several diseases. Regulation of cysteine Proteinase and their inhibitors is of utmost importance in neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer, amyloid

Recombinant TFPI and variants: potential implications in the treatment of cardiovascular disorders.

Only registered users can translate articles

The Kunitz-type proteinase inhibitor, tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI), is the only endogenous inhibitor of the tissue factor (TF)-mediated coagulation pathway that plays a dominant role in normal haemostasis. TFPI exerts its action by binding to factor Xa (FXa) forming a TFPI-FXa complex that

Factor V Leiden does not affect bleeding in aprotinin recipients after cardiopulmonary bypass.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND Carriers of the factor V Leiden mutation (FVL) are resistant to activated protein C proteolysis. Therefore, they are at increased risk of thromboembolic events. Aprotinin is an unspecific proteinase inhibitor frequently used during cardiac surgery procedures to reduce bleeding. However,

Mmp-9 inhibitors in the brain: can old bullets shoot new targets?

Only registered users can translate articles

Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are either secreted or membrane-bound proteases, capable to degrade extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins as well as a large number of non-ECM proteins, such as growth factors, cytokines, chemokines, cell surface receptors, serine proteinase inhibitors and other MMPs.

[Protein Z: a new regulator of coagulation in arterial vessels?].

Only registered users can translate articles

Protein Z (PZ) is a vitamin K dependent factor identified in human plasma in 1984 whose physiological function was poorly understood. It was recently shown that protein Z is implicated in the down-regulation of coagulation by forming a complex with a plasma proteinase inhibitor called protein

A new generation of radiofluorinated pyrimidine-2,4,6-triones as MMP-targeted radiotracers for positron emission tomography.

Only registered users can translate articles

Radiolabeled C-5-disubstituted pyrimidine-2,4,6-triones have recently been suggested by our group as a class of potent matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) targeted radiotracers that can noninvasively visualize activated MMPs by means of positron emission tomography (PET). MMPs belong to the zinc- and

Hereditary cystatin C (gamma-trace) amyloid angiopathy of the CNS causing cerebral hemorrhage.

Only registered users can translate articles

Hereditary CNS amyloid angiopathy occurring in Icelanders is the first human disorder known to be caused by deposition of cystatin C amyloid fibrils in the walls of the brain arteries leading to single or or multiple strokes with fatal outcome. One or more affected members have been verified by

The molecular pathology of hereditary cystatin C amyloid angiopathy causing brain hemorrhage.

Only registered users can translate articles

Knowledge about molecular pathology of hereditary cystatin C amyloid angiopathy (HCCAA), also called hereditary cerebral hemorrhage with amyloidosis, Icelandic type, has increased greatly in the last decade. The disorder has an autosomal dominant mode of inheritance and causes fatal brain hemorrhage

A study of the oxidation-induced conformational and functional changes in neuroserpin.

Only registered users can translate articles

Neuroserpin, a member of the Serine Proteinase Inhibitor (Serpin) superfamily, is known to be a neuroprotective factor in the focal ischemic stroke followed by reducing the microglial activation. Neuroserpin is a protein rich of methionine residues that can scavenge the free radical species which

Neuroserpin reduces cerebral infarct volume and protects neurons from ischemia-induced apoptosis.

Only registered users can translate articles

Neuroserpin, a recently identified inhibitor of tissue-type plasminogen activator (tPA), is primarily localized to neurons within the central nervous system, where it is thought to regulate tPA activity. In the present study neuroserpin expression and its potential therapeutic benefits were examined
