A metagenome-wide association study of HIV disease progression in HIV controllers
(Elsevier, 2023)
Some HIV controllers experience immunologic progression with CD4+ T cell decline. We aimed to identify genetic factors associated with CD4+ T cell lost in HIV controllers. A total of 561 HIV controllers were included, 442 ...

Role of Circulating Cell-free DNA Levels in Patients With Severe Preeclampsia and HELLP Syndrome
(Oxford University Press, 2013)
BACKGROUND Increased plasma levels of circulating cell-free DNA (c-f DNA) have been recently described in diseases related to ischemia and/or hypoxia. Preeclampsia (PCL) is a hypertensive disorder of pregnancy, of unknown ...

Decreased Level of Cord Blood Circulating Endothelial Colony-Forming Cells in Preeclampsia
(American Heart Association, 2014)
Preeclampsia is a pregnancy-related disorder associated with increased cardiovascular risk for the offspring. Endothelial colony–forming cells (ECFCs) are a subset of circulating endothelial progenitor cells that participate ...

Evaluation of aquaporins in the cerebrospinal fluid in patients with idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus
(PLOS, 2021)
Brain aquaporin 1 (AQP1) and AQP4 are involved in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) homeostasis and might participate in the origin of hydrocephalus. Studies have shown alterations of perivascular AQP4 expression in idiopathic ...

Maternal Body-Mass Index and Cord Blood Circulating Endothelial Colony-Forming Cells
(Elsevier, 2014)
Objective Endothelial colony-forming cells (ECFCs) are a subset of circulating endothelial progenitor cells that are particularly abundant in umbilical cord blood. We sought to determine whether ECFC abundance in cord ...

Total and Fetal Circulating Cell-Free DNA, Angiogenic, and Antiangiogenic Factors in Preeclampsia and HELLP Syndrome
(Oxford University Press, 2017)
BACKGROUND Preeclampsia (PE) is a hypertensive disorder of pregnancy characterized by hypertension and proteinuria. The HELLP syndrome is the most severe form of PE. The aim of the present study was to determine different ...

Controlled attenuation parameter-insulin resistance (CIR) score to predict non-alcoholic steatohepatitis
(Nature Research, 2022-12-19)
The diagnosis of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) requires liver biopsy. Patients with NASH are at risk of progression to advanced fibrosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. A reliable non-invasive tool for the detection ...
