Distribution of SDF1-3'A polymorphisms in three different ethnic groups from Brazil
(Scielo, 2010-04)
A mutation described as a G-to-A transition has been reported in SDF-1 gene (SDF1-3'A), being prevalent in all ethnic groups, except in Africans. This mutation is associated with the onset of AIDS progression. Our aim was ...
Biological monitoring of workers occupationally exposed to ethylene oxide
(1994)
Ethylene oxide (EtO) is an important intermediate industrial chemical which is also used for sterilizing medical products and hospital equipment. In the present study we have evaluated some biological markers, such as ...
Performance of the automated Abbott RealTime™ HIV-1 assay on a genetically diverse panel of specimens from Brazil
(2006)
The combination of automated sample preparation and real-time RT-PCR for measurement of HIV-1 viral load has the potential to significantly enhance throughput, reduce operator-associated error, and increase assay sensitivity ...
Serum and intracellular magnesium deficiency in patients with metabolic syndrome—Evidences for its relation to insulin resistance
(2009)
This cross sectional study evaluated serum (SMg) and intramononuclear (MMg) magnesium
in patients with metabolic syndrome without diabetes and correlated them with cardiovascular risk factors. 72 patients and 57 controls ...
The Effect of Magnesium Supplementation in Increasing Doses on the Control of Type 2 Diabetes
(the American Diabetes Association, 1998)
OBJECTIVE — Hypomagnesemia occurs in 25-38% of patients with type 2 diabetes. Several
studies have suggested an association between magnesium (Mg) depletion and insulin
resistance and/or reduction of insulin secretion in ...
Polymorphism of Cytokine Genes (TGF-[beta]1, IFN-[gamma], IL-6, IL-10, and TNF-[alpha]) in Patients With Chronic Pancreatitis
(2005)
Objectives: The polymorphisms in cytokine genes have allowed for the understanding of the genetic determinants of diseases. The aims of this study were to describe and compare the frequencies of polymorphisms on the ...
Clinical manifestations in individuals with recent diagnosis of HTLV type I infection
(2011)
Background: Human T-lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1) is known to cause HTLV-associated myelopathy (HAM)/tropical spastic paraparesis and adult T cell leukemia. A growing body of evidence links HTLV-1 infection with an ...
Clinical manifestations associated with HTLV type I infection: a cross-sectional study
(2007)
Human T-lymphotropic virus type I (HTLV-I) causes HTLV-I-associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis and adult T cell leukemia in a small percentage of infected individuals. HTLV-I infection is increasingly associated ...
Ethnicity and glutathione S-transferase (GSTM1/GSTT1) polymorphisms in a Brazilian population
(2004)
The distribution of polymorphisms related to glutathione S-transferases
(GST) has been described in different populations, mainly for
white individuals. We evaluated the distribution of GST mu (GSTM1)
and theta (GSTT1) ...
A Novel Diagnostic Target in the Hepatitis C Virus Genome
(2009)
Background Detection and quantification of hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA is integral to diagnostic and therapeutic regimens. All molecular assays target the viral 5′-noncoding region (5′-NCR), and all show genotype-dependent ...
