Macrophage migration inhibitory factor promoter polymorphisms (−794 CATT5–8): Relationship with soluble MIF levels in coronary atherosclerotic disease subjects

BMC Cardiovascular Disorders, 2017
Background We analyzed the relationship of −794 CATT5–8 MIF polymorphisms with soluble MIF in Coronary Atherosclerotic Disease (CAD) patients. Methods A total of 256 patients selected, on which 186 normal-coronary and 70 Coronary artery disease subjects,

MIF functional polymorphisms are associated with acute GVHD progression and steroid-refractoriness [PDF]

Frontiers in Immunology
IntroductionApproximately 50% of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) Q6 recipients develop graft versus host disease (GVHD). Glucocorticoids (GC) are the first line of treatment for both acute and chronic GVHD. Failure to respond to

Noninvasive Thermographic Photographing as an Assessment of the State of Discomfort in a Dog Receiving Radiation Therapy

Animals, 2021
In humans, radiation induces dilation of capillaries and inflammatory reactions to raise skin temperature. Thermography is used to detect abnormalities after radiation therapy (RT). However, in veterinary nursing, objective evaluation of the condition of
