The proteins of the fibrinolytic system — urokinase plasminogen activator(uPA),
tissue plasminogen activator (tPA)and plasminogen activator inhibitor type
IPAI-I) — play important roles in fibrotization in various organs and including
peritoneum. To study the cellular localization of PAI-1, tPA and uPA within the
adipose tissue of the peritoneal membrane in patients at the onset of peritoneal

Effects of intra-arterial heparin on cytokine levels in the ischemic tissueCentral European Journal of Medicine - Tập 5 - Trang 165-171 - 2009
Sami Karapolat, Bilgehan Erkut
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of systemic and
intra-arterial application of heparin by measuring tissue levels of inflammatory
cytokines. Twenty-one adult male Wistar albino rats were divided into three
groups (Group A, B and C). All the rats had undergone ligation of the right
femoral artery with 4-0 silk suture to induce limb ischemia. Group A was the
control group. In Gr... hiện toàn bộ
Lipase/amylase ratio distinguishes mild acute biliary pancreatitis from nonpancreatitisCentral European Journal of Medicine - Tập 4 - Trang 293-298 - 2009
Joon Hyuck Choi, Nam Lyong Kang, Sang Don Choi
The report by Gumaste et al. [Gastroenterology 1991;101:1361–1366] that the
lipase/amylase ratio (Lip/Amy) could be a new index distinguishing acute
episodes of alcoholic (Lip/Amy >2) from nonalcoholic pancreatitis (Lip/Amy <2),
with the critical value being Lip/Amy =2, has been followed by some debate
between supporters and opponents. By comparing the Lip/Amy in a group of 16
carefully selected p... hiện toàn bộ

In the indexed medical literature, there have been a very limited number of
studies to investigate the epidemiologic and clinical features of enteroviral
meningitis in Turkey. The aim of the present retrospective study is to update
the actual situation to recognize the spectrum and magnitude of this important
clinical entity. Between June 1999 and December 2004, 612 cases of aseptic
meningitis wer... hiện toàn bộ

To evaluate the diet of 225 overweight and obese university students in four
countries and to implement a web-based nutrition program. From the initially
examined 1517 medical students from Poland, Belarus, Russia and Lithuania (aged
20.9±1.97 years) a subsample of 225 students (BMI > 25.0 kg/m2) were selected.
Body weight, height, the thickness of 3 skinfolds and body fat percentage were

Testicular cancer is rare but is the most common cancer in males between 15 and
34 years of age. Two principal types of testicular cancer are distinguished:
seminomas and non-seminomas. If detected early, the overall cure rate for
testicular cancer exceeds 90%. In this study, artificial neural network (ANN)
analysis as a prognostic tool was demonstrated regard to five year recurrence
after the non... hiện toàn bộ
The combined use of the nasal prosthesis with nasal stentsCentral European Journal of Medicine - Tập 5 - Trang 257-260 - 2009
Yumuşhan Günay, Fatih Uygur, Arzu Atay, Bahattin Çeliköz
Severe and composite defects of the nose due to trauma or excision of neoplasms
can cause significant functional and aesthetic problems. It has been known that
nasal stents have been used to maintain the nasal patency and nostril shape for
a long time. Recently, nasal prosthesis was introduced as a method to solve
aesthetic problems of the patients who had an amputated nose. In the present
study, ... hiện toàn bộ
Risk factors for vancomycin-resistant enteroccocci colonization in infants in neonatal intensive care unitCentral European Journal of Medicine - Tập 5 - Trang 499-503 - 2009

We aimed to evaluate the risk factors for VRE colonization in neonatal intensive
care units. In December 2007, we identified a neonate with VRE infection
(urinary tract infection and we performed blood and stool cultures for VRE until
the last colonized patient was discharged from our clinic. All the neonates
hospitalized in NICU during December 2007 to January 2008. Active surveillance
