Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Serum Concentrations in Ovarian Cancer

Obstetrics & Gynecology, 1998
To determine whether serum vascular endothelial growth factor is an independent prognostic factor in ovarian cancer patients.We measured vascular endothelial growth factor in pretreatment serum samples of 60 women with International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics stages I to IV epithelial ovarian cancer, using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent ...

Concentrations of Epidermal Growth Factor and Transforming Growth Factor-Alpha in Preterm Milk

2004
Human milk is the major source of nutrients and growth promoting substances in the first weeks of life for the majority of neonates (Goldman 2000). As neonatal care has improved, survival of extremely prematurely born neonates has increased significantly.

Reductions of vascular endothelial growth factor and placental growth factor concentrations in severe preeclampsia

American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 2000
The aim of this study was to determine whether plasma concentrations of vascular endothelial growth factor and placental growth factor are altered in women with severe preeclampsia.We performed a case-control study to compare plasma concentrations of vascular endothelial growth factor and placental growth factor between women with severe preeclampsia ...

Growth factors, CD34 positive cells, and fibrin network analysis in concentrated growth factors fraction

Microscopy Research and Technique, 2011
AbstractAn interesting clinical option for optimizing healing tissue is the use of platelet concentrate. Platelets contain high quantities of growth factors, among these TGF‐β1 and VEGF, which are known to be implicated in tissue regeneration. CGF is produced by processing blood samples with a special centrifuge device; three layers are formed: top ...

Effect of concentrated growth factor on osteoblast cell response

Journal of Stomatology, Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, 2018
The purpose of this study was to assess the effect of concentrated growth factor (CGF) on osteoblast cell proliferation and differentiation.SaOS-2 osteoblast-like cells were cultured on titanium discs. The disc surfaces in the test group were treated with CGF serum, and those in the control group were left untreated.

Vascular endothelial growth factor serum concentrations in hypercholesterolemic patients

Scandinavian Journal of Clinical and Laboratory Investigation, 2006
Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) promotes normal and pathological angiogenesis. VEGF is a chemotactic factor for macrophages and vascular smooth muscle cells, and induces synthesis of metalloproteinases and adhesion molecules. VEGF expression is regulated by hypoxia, cytokines, oncogenes, and oxidized low-density lipoprotein (LDL). The purpose

Growth Factors Release in Concentrated Growth Factor and Advanced Platelet‐Rich Fibrin Sticky Bone

Oral Diseases
ABSTRACTObjectiveSticky bone, created from concentrated growth factor (CGF) or advanced platelet‐rich fibrin (A‐PRF), contains various growth factors. This study analyzed the release patterns of growth factors from CGF sticky bone (CGF‐SB) and A‐PRF sticky bone (A‐PRF‐SB) to inform their application in bone grafting.MethodsCGF, A‐PRF, CGF‐SB, and A‐PRF‐

Hepatocyte Growth Factor, Epidermal Growth Factor, and Placenta Growth Factor Concentrations in Peripheral Blood of Pregnant Women With Alcohol Abuse

Alcoholism: Clinical and Experimental Research, 2002
Background: Alcohol abuse during pregnancy compromises fetal development not only directly but also by abnormal placental function. Therefore, hepatocyte growth factor (HGF), epidermal growth factor (EGF), and placenta growth factor (PlGF), expressed in the placenta, may play a role in alcohol‐induced placental dysfunction.Methods: Peripheral venous ...

Factors influencing tissue concentration of vascular endothelial growth factor in colorectal carcinoma

The American Journal of Gastroenterology, 2000
Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) promotes proliferation of various tumor cells by stimulating angiogenesis. Experimentally, hypoxia and energy depletion are known to induce angiogenesis by increasing VEGF expression. We investigated whether factors reflecting the general condition of the patients influence the tissue concentration of VEGF in ...
