18F-FDG PET, genotype-corrected ACE and sIL-2R in newly diagnosed sarcoidosis [PDF]

European Journal of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging, 2009
Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) and soluble interleukin-2 receptor (sIL-2R) are serological markers, widely used for determining sarcoidosis activity. (18)F-FDG PET has proven to be a sensitive technique in the imaging of sarcoidosis. The aim of this study was to determine sensitivity of (18)F-FDG PET, genotype-corrected ACE and sIL-2R in active ...

Soluble interleukin-2 receptors (sIL-2R) in Hodgkin's disease: outcome and clinical implications [PDF]

British Journal of Cancer, 1998
The aim of this study was to assess the prognostic role of soluble interleukin-2 receptors (sIL-2R) in Hodgkin's disease (HD) both in the achievement of complete remission (CR) and in predicting disease relapse. Between August 1988 and June 1993 sIL-2R serum levels were measured in 174 untreated patients; in 137 of them evaluation was repeated at the ...

A combined biomarker and clinical panel for chronic graft versus host disease diagnosis. [PDF]

, 2017
Whilst many chronic graft versus host disease (cGVHD) biomarkers have been previously reported, few have been verified in an independent cGVHD cohort. We aimed to verify the diagnostic accuracy of previously reported markers of cGVHD in a multi-centre ...

A case series in patients with enteropathy and granulomatous diseases [PDF]

, 2015
Background Although sarcoidosis and celiac disease are both chronic immunologic disorders involving multiple organ systems, reports about association of diseases in individual patients are sparse.

Soluble interleukin-2 receptor is a sensitive diagnostic test in adult HLH

Blood Advances, 2017
: Serum soluble interleukin-2 receptor (sIL-2r) is an important disease marker in hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH), but there are no published data on its diagnostic value in adults.

Anaplastic carcinoma of the pancreas producing granulocyte-colony stimulating factor: a case report [PDF]

, 2008
Introduction The granulocyte-colony stimulating factor-producing tumor was first reported in 1977, however, anaplastic pleomorphic type carcinoma of the pancreas producing granulocyte-colony stimulating factor is still rare.

ACE and sIL-2R correlate with lung function improvement in sarcoidosis during methotrexate therapy [PDF]

Respiratory Medicine, 2015
In sarcoidosis, the search for disease activity markers that correlate with treatment response is ongoing. The aim of this study was to investigate the pattern of two proposed markers, serum angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) and soluble IL-2 receptor (sIL-2R) during methotrexate (MTX) therapy in sarcoidosis patients.We analysed 114 sarcoidosis ...

Serum Tumor Markers in Non-Hodgkin's Lymphomas and Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia

The International Journal of Biological Markers, 1993
The levels of soluble interleukin-2 receptors (sIL-2R), beta-2 microglobulin (β-2M), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and C-reactive protein (CRP) were measured in the serum of 50 previously untreated patients with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) and ...

Coagulation, fibrinolysis, and cell activation in patients and shed mediastinal blood during coronary artery bypass grafting with a new heparin-coated surface [PDF]

, 2002
Objectives: Heparin coating of the cardiopulmonary bypass circuit is shown to improve the biocompatibility of the surface. We have studied a new heparin surface, the Corline Heparin Surface, applied to a complete set of an extracorporeal device used ...
