mucin/stroke

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate if there is a causal relationship between circulating levels of TIM-1 (T-cell immunoglobulin and mucin domain 1) and incidence of stroke. Approach and Results: Plasma TIM-1 was analyzed

Tim-3 has been linked to several inflammatory diseases by regulation on both adaptive and innate immunities. Here, we assessed the augmented expression of Tim-3 in brain tissue of ischemia-reperfusion mice and PBMCs of ischemic stroke (IS) patients. The augmented expression of Tim-3 significantly

In addition to etiologies common in the general population, strokes in cancer patients may be caused by hypercoagulable states, hyperviscosity, cardiogenic embolism, and neoplastic vessel infiltration. Intravascular mucins were reported in patients with recurrent thromboembolism. The authors report

We report a case of a 62-year-old woman with multiple ischemic strokes caused by nonbacterial thrombotic endocarditis (NBTE) because of gallbladder cancer. Transesophageal echocardiography showed NBTE on the mitral valve. The NBTE disappeared with anticoagulation treatment for 2 weeks. Abdominal

The present investigation has characterized the influence of the duration and intensity of stimulation on the secretion pattern of total protein and salivary mucins MG1 and MG2 in whole saliva. Resting and stimulated whole saliva was collected from six healthy subjects on 2 consecutive days. Whole

BACKGROUND Stroke is very seldom seen as the first manifestation of a neoplasia. The mechanisms that are most frequently involved in its pathogenesis are Trousseau's syndrome, haematological disorders such as disseminated intravascular coagulation or thrombocytosis, and the release of mucin by the

Little is known about the association of the TIMD4 (T-cell immunoglobulin and mucin domain 4 gene)-HAVCR1 (hepatitis A virus cellular receptor 1) variants and lipid metabolism, the risk of coronary heart disease (CHD) and ischemic stroke (IS). The present study aimed to determine the TIMD4-HAVCR1

T cell immunoglobin and mucin domain (Tim)-4 on monocytes is involved in immune regulation. Here, we investigated Tim-4 expression on circulating monocytes and in plasma of ischemic stroke. Tim-4 expression was significantly increased on day 2 and day 5 after stroke. Furthermore, stroke severity was

Hypercoagulability occurs in 15% of patients with malignancy and represents a clinical spectrum ranging from abnormal coagulation tests but no clinically evident thromboembolic disease, to arterial and venous thrombosis, migratory thrombophlebitis, nonbacterial thrombotic endocarditis (NBTE) and

Objective: We aimed to analyze alterations in T cell subgroups during different post-ischemic stroke (IS) phases to explore the possible mechanisms underlying stroke-induced immune depression (SIID). Methods: Sixty-four IS patients who met the entry criteria were divided into three groups: an acute

OBJECTIVE Organic and inorganic constituents of saliva have been implicated as protective components in the esophagus, and deficiencies in one or more of these factors in different races may be an important element in the prevalence of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). To determine whether

Background It has been proven that T cell immunoglobin and mucin domain (Tim)-4 and monocytes (Mo) are involved in regulation of immunity, which is important for the recovery of acute ischemic stroke (AIS).Methods In this study, the expression of Tim-4 in both circulating Mo subtypes

Background: The T-cell immunoglobulin and mucin domain 4 gene (TIMD4) rs6882076 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) has been associated with serum total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and triglycerides (TG) levels, but the results are inconsistent. Moreover, little

Background: Risk of stroke-related morbidity and mortality increases significantly with age. Aging is associated with chronic, low-grade inflammation, which is thought to contribute to the poorer outcomes after stroke seen in the elderly. Histamine (HA) is a major

Bacterial infection a leading cause of death among patients with stroke, with elderly patients often presenting with more debilitating outcomes. The findings from our retrospective study, supported by previous clinical reports, showed that increasing age is an early predictor for developing fatal
