Assessment of IL-8, RANTES, MIG, MCP-1, IP-10, and IL-12p70 and Their Association with Anxiety and Quality of Life in Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease or After Kidney Transplantation.

Anxiety is a subjective feeling of fear in response to stressful or threatening situations. Chronic diseases (such as chronic kidney disease) or the state after kidney transplantation are such situations and they may result in a decreased quality of life. The main aim of this research was to evaluate if the proteins IL-8, RANTES, MIG, MCP-1, IP-10, and IL-12p70 could be indicators of higher levels of anxiety or decreased quality of life in chronically ill women.

Evaluation of BRIP-1 (FANCJ) and FANCI Protein Expression in Ovarian Cancer Tissue.

Ovarian cancer is one of the most common cancers in women. Markers associated with ovarian cancer are still being sought. The aim of this study was to evaluate the expression of BRIP-1 (FANCJ) and FANCI proteins in ovarian cancer tissue and to assess these expressions in differentiating the described clinical features.

The Role of Long Non-Coding RNAs in Ovarian Cancer Cells.

Among the most deadly malignancies that strike women worldwide, ovarian cancer is still one of the most common. The primary factor affecting a patient's survival is early lesion discovery. Unfortunately, because ovarian cancer is a sneaky illness that usually manifests as nonspecific symptoms only in advanced stages, its early detection and screening are challenging.

The Importance of the Concentration of Selected Cytokines (IL-6, IL-10, IL-12, IL-15, TNF-α) and Inflammatory Markers (CRP, NLR, PLR, LMR, SII) in Predicting the Course of Rehabilitation for Patients after COVID-19 Infection.

Background/objectives: In the course of COVID-19, there may be an excessive immune response of the body with the release of large amounts of pro-inflammatory cytokines, causing a "cytokine storm", also known as cytokine release syndrome (CRS). The COVID-19 pandemic has shown how important an integrated approach to health care is, with physiotherapy being one of its fundamental aspects. The aim of this study was to analyze the potential relationship between the level of selected cytokines (IL-6, IL-10, IL-12, IL-15, TNF-α) and inflammatory markers (CRP, NLR, PLR, LMR, SII) and the duration of rehabilitation in patients after COVID-19.
