Appendectomy for suspected appendicitis cases is a common procedure. Its clinical diagnosis needs to be supported by accurate confirmatory tests. No single paraclinical test with a high degree of sensitivity and specificity is available for its diagnosis. The appendix contains numerous
The chemoattractant receptor-homologous molecule expressed on Th2 cells (CRTH2) receptor, a G protein-coupled receptor that mediates chemotaxis of inflammatory cells in response to prostaglandin D2 (PGD2), is hypothesized to play a role in Th2-mediated allergic disease. In addition to PGD2, CRTH2
Vitamin D deficiency, common in the population with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), can induce the main factors that lead to IBS clinical symptoms, such as depression, anxiety, and inflammation. Serotonin (5-HT) plays an important role in the pathophysiology of IBS, and its production and secretion
OBJECTIVE
Acute appendicitis (AA) is the most common abdominal emergency. The appendix has abundant serotonin containing cells. Upon inflammation, serotonin is released in the blood and converted into 5-HIAA (5-hydroxy indole acetic acid). Measurement of the urine 5-HIAA (U-5-HIAA) could be a
Huntington's disease (HD) is a neurodegenerative disorder, characterized by progressive motor and non-motor dysfunction due to degeneration of medium spiny neurons in striatum. 3-Nitropropionic acid is commonly used to induce the animal model of HD. Rice bran is supposed to have beneficial effects

The aim of this study was to explore the possible involvement of the angiopoietin (Ang)-1, -2/Tie-2 system in the development, growth, and metastases evolution of gastroenteropancreatic-neuroendocrine tumors (GEP-NETs). We prospectively examined the serum levels of Tie-2, Ang-1, and Ang-2 by ELISA
