Clinical significance of matrix metalloproteinase 9 and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase 1 and 2 in Kawasaki disease [PDF]
Purpose : Kawasaki disease (KD) is a systemic vasculitis, a leading cause of pediatric acquired heart disease. Histopathological findings of coronary artery lesion (CAL) in KD indicate destruction of the coronary artery wall with diffuse vasculitis ...

Replacement of Conserved Cysteines in Human Tissue Inhibitor of Metalloproteinases-1 [PDF]
Tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-1 (TIMP-1) is resistant to extremes of temperature and pH. This is thought to be due in part to the presence of six sulfhydryl bridges presumed to maintain the structural integrity of the molecule. As part of a study looking at structure-function relationships, a number of the conserved cysteine residues in TIMP-1

Serum MMP-8 and TIMP-1 as prognostic biomarkers in gastric cancer
Despite gastric cancer being rare nowadays in Western countries, it remains one of the leading causes of cancer death worldwide. The course of the disease varies, so the individual gastric cancer patient’s prognosis is difficult to determine.

Levels of matrix metalloproteinase-1 and tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinase-1 in gastric cancer
To evaluate the levels of preoperative serum matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1) and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 (TIMP-1) in gastric cancer.One hundred gastric cancer patients who underwent gastrectomy were enrolled in this study. The serum concentrations of MMP-1 and TIMP-1 in these patients and in fifty healthy controls were determined ...

Tissue Inhibitor of Metalloproteinases-1 Regulation by Aldosterone [PDF]
See related article, pp 1309–1320 Primary aldosteronism (PA), first characterized by Conn in 1955,1 results in hypertension secondary to the excessive production of aldosterone by the adrenal cortex—in many cases because of the presence of a benign aldosterone-producing adenoma.

Tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases 1, a novel biomarker of tuberculosis
Tuberculosis (TB) is an important infectious disease of humans and other animals. Conventional diagnostic methods, including the tuberculin skin test, chest X‑rays and bacterial culture, have certain innate disadvantages for the early, rapid and specific diagnosis of tuberculosis.
