We examined the hypothesis that low levels of serum uric acid are associated with elevated cancer risk. A subpopulation (163,830 members) of a large health maintenance organization was followed for a mean of 9.8 years after a multiphasic health checkup at which serum uric acid level was measured.
Chronic inflammation is related to oxidative stress and is still believed to be the cause of carcinogenesis. Patients with oral cavity cancer (OCC) exhibited lower total antioxidant capacity, uric acid (UA) concentration, salivary peroxidise (SPO) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity in their
Tumor lysis syndrome (TLS) is a disease with high mortality that develops in conditions characterized by rapid cell proliferation or after the cytotoxic treatment of malignant diseases. Extraction of intracellular ions and metabolites into the extracellular milieu following cell destruction causes
Spontaneous tumour lysis syndrome (STLS) inducing acute uric acid nephropathy, a rare and neglected disease, presents more insidiously than conventional post-treatment tumour lysis syndrome. Although STLS is a serious and potentially fatal complication in patients with neoplastic disorders, few
OBJECTIVE
Rasburicase is effective in controlling plasma uric acid in pediatric patients with hematologic malignancies. This study in adults evaluated safety of and compared efficacy of rasburicase alone with rasburicase followed by oral allopurinol and with allopurinol alone in controlling plasma
In recent years, metabolic syndrome (Mets) has been a hot topic among medical scientists. Mets has an intimate relationship with the incidence and development of various cancers. As a contributory factor of Mets, hyperuricemia actually plays an inseparable role in the formation of various metabolic
Only humans and higher primates have high uric acid blood levels. Although high uric acid causes gout, it has been linked with human longevity because of its hypothetical antioxidant function. Recent studies reveal that p53 has significant roles in cellular metabolism. One example of this is an
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate associations between hyperuricemia and increases in production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) in pre-eclamptic pregnancies.
METHODS
This study investigated serum uric acid levels, monocyte production of TNF-α, superoxide anion (O(2)(-))
We aimed to investigate whether there is a correlation between elevated serum uric acid (SUA) concentration and endothelial inflammatory response in women with preeclampsia (PE). On the basis of clinical and laboratory findings, patients were assigned to three groups: normal blood pressure (Control
Elevated serum uric acid (SUA) is a marker of chronic inflammation and has been suggested to be associated with increased risk of cancer, but its antioxidant capacity would justify an anticancer effect. Previous meta-analyses did not include all available results. We conducted a systematic review of
Two risk factors for the development and progression of cancers that are amenable to life style modification are chronic inflammation and the metabolic syndrome. This review proposes two new targets that may mechanistically integrate inflammation and metabolic syndrome, have been largely ignored,
Tumor lysis syndrome (TLS) is the most common life-threatening oncological emergency encountered by physicians treating children with lymphoproliferative malignancies. Healthcare providers should be aware of the condition in order to prevent occurrence and prompt timely management to Spontaneous tumor lysis syndrome is a rare oncological emergency associated with multiorgan failure. It is characterized by an elevation of uric acid, hyperphosphatemia, hypocalcemia, hyperkalemia and renal failure in the setting of no active chemotherapy as a result of lysis of massive tumor
Hyperuricaemia is associated with various metabolic dysfunctions including obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus, hypertension and in general metabolic syndrome, which are all associated with increased risk of cancer. However, the direct association between elevated uricemia and cancer mortality still
Peroxynitrite (ONOO(-)), which is generated from nitric oxide (NO) and superoxide anion (O(2)(.-)) under pathological conditions, plays an important role in pathophysiological processes. Activation of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) contributes to tumor angiogenesis and metastasis. NO mediates the
