Dynamic thiol/disulfide homeostasis and myeloperoxidase levels in Gilbert's syndrome with mild hyperbilirubinemia.
Gastroenterol Hepatol Bed Bench
January 2024
Article Synopsis
- The study compared thiol/disulfide balance and myeloperoxidase (MPO) levels in 65 patients with Gilbert's syndrome (GS) and 65 healthy individuals to see how they relate to atherosclerosis progression.
- Results showed that patients with GS had higher total and native thiol levels, lower disulfide levels, and decreased MPO levels compared to healthy controls, suggesting a healthier oxidative balance.
- The findings indicate that mild hyperbilirubinemia in GS has a protective effect against inflammation and oxidative stress, potentially lowering the risk of atherosclerosis outcomes.
Objectives: Schizophrenia is a complex psychiatric disorder with an unclear etiopathogenesis. This study investigates the plasma G72 protein levels in drug-naive schizophrenia patients (DNS), those in acute psychotic episodes (AES), and healthy controls (HC). It also examines the correlation between the plasma G72 protein levels and Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) scores.

Interleukin-12 (IL-12), IL-23 and IL-27 of IL-12 cytokine family were identified as critical cytokines in the pathogenesis of many autoimmune and inflammatory skin diseases including vitiligo. IL-35 is one of the newest member of IL-12 cytokine family.

The causative infectious organism is commonly Staphylococcus aureus, a Gram-positive bacterium. The aim of the present study was to compare the effectiveness of two antibacterial agents, ceftobiprole and vancomycin, in an animal model of methicillin-resistant S.

Methods: Height, weight, Body Mass Index (BMI) and laboratory parameters of 58 SG patients aged 18‒65 years (Group 1) and 46 healthy control patients (Group 2) were compared. In addition, preoperative and postoperative sixth-month BMI and laboratory parameters of the patients in Group 1 were compared.
