Inflammation can predispose to myocardial infarction (MI), and mannan binding lectin (MBL) promotes phagocytic clearance of inflammatory agents, but the predictive value of MBL levels for MI is not known. MBL was analyzed in subgroups of the population-based Reykjavik study, a cohort of 19,381
This case illustrates the benefits of using plasma levels of soluble lectin-like oxidized low-density lipoprotein receptor-1 (sLOX-1) to distinguish between myocardial injuries caused by coronary vasospasm or coronary plaque rupture. A 62-year-old woman with a history of dyslipidemia was admitted
BACKGROUND
Lectin complement pathway (LP) activation is an important mechanism in myocardial ischemia reperfusion injury (IRI). LP is activated via the recognition molecules mannose-binding lectin (MBL), ficolins-2 and-3 and is regulated by MBL/Ficolin-associated Protein-1 (MAP-1). Also, C-reactive
OBJECTIVE
Experimental data point towards a favourable effect of low serum concentrations of complement mannose-binding lectin (MBL) on myocardial ischaemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. As comparable data on the role of MBL in human I/R injury is lacking, we investigated the influence of low serum MBL
BACKGROUND
To determine the relationship between markers of innate immunity and clinical outcomes in patients with heart failure (HF) after acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Atherogenesis and HF is associated with the altered control of inflammation by innate immune defenses that include
OBJECTIVE
Mannose-binding lectin (MBL) and ficolins activate the complement cascade, which is involved in atherogenesis. Based on a pilot study, we hypothesized that functional polymorphisms in the MBL gene (MBL2) leading to dysfunctional protein are related to development of myocardial infarction
Despite improvements in treatment, coronary artery disease is still responsible for one-third of all deaths globally, due predominantly to myocardial infarction (MI) and stroke. There is an important potential in developing new strategies for treatment of patients with these conditions.
BACKGROUND
Soluble lectin-like oxidized low-density lipoprotein receptor-1 (sLOX-1) level is a reliable prognostic biomarker in acute coronary syndrome. However, it is unclear whether its plasma level at acute phase is related to the long-term prognosis in patients with ST-segment elevation acute
The lectin complement pathway is suggested to play a role in atherogenesis. Pentraxin-3 (PTX3), ficolin-1, ficolin-2, ficolin-3, MBL/ficolin/collectin-associated serine protease-3 (MASP-3) and MBL/ficolin/collectin-associated protein-1 (MAP-1) are molecules related to activation of the lectin
OBJECTIVE
The present study characterizes mannose-binding lectin (MBL), an activator of the complement system and thereby important for inflammatory activation, in patients with diabetes and myocardial infarction.
METHODS
Serum (S)-MBL was determined at hospital admission in 387 patients with type 2
BACKGROUND
The Mannose-binding lectin (MBL) pathway of complement plays a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury after experimental ischemic stroke. As comparable data in human ischemic stroke are limited, we investigated in more detail the association of MBL
Percutaneous coronary intervention-related periprocedural myocardial infarction (PCI-RPMI) has now been definitively linked in large data sets to long-term adverse outcomes. It is more likely that the relationship is caused by the underlying predisposing factors that led to the PCI-RPMI, such as
BACKGROUND
The diagnostic sensitivity of myocardial necrosis markers, such as creatine kinase-MB (CK-MB), cardiac troponins, myoglobin and heart-type fatty acid-binding protein (H-FABP) for the earliest stage of ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), remains insufficient. We compared a new
The relationship between endothelial reactivity to Ulex europaeus agglutinin-1 (UEA-1) and the permeability of the vascular wall in human autopsied cases of cerebral infarction was studied. Sections from the cerebral cortex were reacted with horseradish peroxidase UEA-1 to demonstrate the surface
Villorita cyprinoides (black clam) is a fresh water clam that belongs as a bivalve to the group of mollusc. The saline extracts from the muscle reveal high titers of agglutination potency on trypsin-treated rabbit erythrocytes. With the help of affinity chromatography a hemolytic protein with lectin
