spondylitis/글루타티온

OBJECTIVE Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is difficult to diagnose at the early stage since it lacks simple and specific diagnostic indicators. Proteomics is a new enabling technology to screen disease-associated proteins which can be used in diagnostics or therapeutics. This study was performed by

We present the case of a 53-year-old Caucasian woman with seven basal cell carcinomas and one malignant melanoma in situ along her back overlying her spine, which was irradiated in 1968 for ankylosing spondylitis. These lesions developed between 1997 and 1999. She has no other known risk factors for

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to investigate plasma and erythrocytes antioxidant vitamins and lipid peroxidation (LP) levels in patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and controls. METHODS The study was performed on the blood of 13 AS patients and 13 controls. Plasma and erythrocyte samples

OBJECTIVE The aim of the study was to evaluate the antioxidant status in plasma and erythrocytes from patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS). METHODS 16 patients with AS and 16 healthy volunteers were involved in this study. Activities of antioxidant enzymes: superoxide dismutase (SOD) and its

BACKGROUND The aim of the study was to investigate oxidant/antioxidant status by determining serum ischemia-modified albumin (IMA) levels with oxidative/antioxidant parameters in patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) compared to the controls. METHODS The serum concentrations of IMA, IMA/albumin

Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS) is known to be associated with increased neutrophil activation and oxidative stress, however, the mechanism of neutrophil activation is still unclear. We have hypothesized that the antioxidant and anti-tumor necrosis factor properties of infliximab may affect

BACKGROUND This study aimed to investigate the effect and underlying molecular mechanism of sinomenine (SIN) on ankylosing spondylitis (AS). MATERIAL AND METHODS To study the potential role of SIN in the pathogenesis of AS, an AS mouse model was established and mice were treated with different

UNASSIGNED The aim of the study was to estimate the impact of whole body cryotherapy (WBC) on oxidative stress when performed in a closed cryochamber on patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS). UNASSIGNED The effect of ten WBC procedures lasting 3 minutes a day with a subsequent 60-minute session

In traditional Chinese and Korean homeopathic medicine, Chrysanthemum indicum Linné (Asteraceae) is a time-honored herb, prescribed for the resolution of symptoms associated with inflammatory and hypertensive conditions as well as those affecting the lungs and its associated structures. The goal of

Low bone mineral density (BMD) is an important complication of ankylosing spondylitis (AS) that seriously affects men and their quality of life, even in young patients. However, the relationships among redox; levels of bone turnover markers (BTMs), inflammatory markers and disease activity; and low

Background: Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by sacroiliitis and spinal rigidity of the axial joints. The role of oxidative stress and increased proinflammatory cytokines is well documented in AS

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the participation of oxidative stress (OS) on chronic inflammatory joint disease (CIJD), as well as its possible use as a diagnostic biomarker. METHODS The study population comprised 29 patients with CIJD: 18 with rheumatoid arthritis (RA: 13 active/5 inactive); 11 with

Patients suffering from rheumatoid arthritis, spondylosis, coxarthrosis, ankylosing spondylitis, chronic active and chronic alcoholic hepatitis were studied. The plasma vitamin E content remained unchanged. The TBA-reactive plasma substances (malondialdehyde) content of plasma increased in all

OBJECTIVE To evaluate infliximab effect on oxidative stress in active chronic inflammatory joint disease. METHODS The study population comprised 12 patients: five with ankylosing spondylitis, five with rheumatoid arthritis and two with psoriatic arthritis. At the time of the study all patients were
