OBJECTIVE
To investigate the role of reactive-oxygen-species (ROS) induced epitopes on human-serum-albumin (HSA) and thyroid antigens in psoriasis autoimmunity.
METHODS
This study was performed in the College of Medicine, Qassim University, Buraidah, Saudi Arabia between May 2014 and February 2015.
Aim: To assess C-reactive protein to albumin ratio (CAR) before and after treatment with biological agents in patients with psoriasis to determine whether CAR can be used as an inflammation biomarker.
Psoriasis is a T-helper-1 (Th1)/Th17-mediated chronic inflammatory skin disease, characterised by hyperproliferation of keratinocytes. Psoriasis and cardiovascular disease share similar pathogenic mechanisms such as vascular endothelial cell dysfunction, oxidative stress and metabolic syndrome.
Plasma albumin, plasma volume and the transcapillary escape rate of albumin (TERalb), i.e. the fraction of the intravascular mass of albumin that passes to the extravascular space per unit time, were determined using 125I-labelled albumin in 26 patients with varying degrees of psoriasis. For the
BACKGROUND
Ischaemia-modified albumin (IMA) is increased in diseases associated with oxidative stress, as detected using the albumin cobalt-binding test. Oxidative stress plays an important role in the development of psoriasis.
OBJECTIVE
To investigate circulating IMA levels in patients with
BACKGROUND
Ischemia-modified albumin (IMA), a novel ischemia marker, and mean platelet volume (MPV), a determinant of platelet activation, have been reported as elevated markers in cardiovascular risk factors such as atherosclerosis, metabolic syndrome, diabetes mellitus (DM), hypertension, and
The increase in urinary albumin excretion rate (AER), a hallmark of both diabetic nephropathy and hypertension, has also been described in patients affected with diffuse psoriasis. The aim of this study was to investigate whether such an increase is independent of the coexistence of diabetes or
Human serum albumin is known to be the main carrier of 5-methoxypsoralen (5-MOP) in serum. As hypoalbuminaemia may occur in psoriasis with inflammatory syndrome, variability of the free 5-MOP fraction in serum can be expected. The free 5-MOP fraction was determined by equilibrium dialysis in serum
The psoriasis-associated fatty acid binding protein (PA-FABP, also known as FABP5) is a novel keratinocyte protein that is highly up-regulated in psoriatic plaques (P. Madsen, H. H. Rasmussen, H. Leffers, B. Honoré and J. E. Celis, J. Invest. Dermatol. 1992, 99, 299-305). Here we have expressed
OBJECTIVE
To assess the systemic safety of calcitriol 3 microg/g ointment (Silkis) ointment) in relation to body surface area (BSA) affected by chronic plaque psoriasis.
METHODS
In this open-label, multicentre study, patients were divided into three parallel groups: 5% to <15% (n=23), 15% to <25%
OBJECTIVE
Kidney involvement secondary to psoriasis is still a controversial issue. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the prevalence of urinary abnormalities in psoriasis patients and to find out whether the abnormality is related to the severity of psoriasis.
METHODS
Ninety-seven psoriasis
OBJECTIVE
Kidney involvement secondary to psoriasis is a controversial issue. In this study, we evaluated the prevalence of urinary abnormalities in patients with psoriasis.
METHODS
Forty-five psoriasis patients (28 women, 17 men, mean age 44 ± 14 years) and 45 age- and gender-matched control
OBJECTIVE
Psoriasis is an autoimmune disease that appears on the skin. Although psoriasis is clinically and histologically well characterized, its pathogenesis is unknown in detail. The aims of this study were to evaluate the proteome of psoriatic patients' sera and to compare them with those of
