The contribution of genotypes at the MICA gene triplet repeat polymorphisms and MEFV mutations to amyloidosis and course of the disease in the patients with familial Mediterranean fever
(2007)
Objective: To evaluate the effects of MEFV genotypes and the major histocompatibility complex class I chain-related gene A (MICA) triplet repeat polymorphism on the severity and clinical features of familial Mediterranean ...
The role of HLA-DRB1 shared epitope alleles in predicting short-term response to leflunomide in rheumatoid arthritis
(2007)
Objectives: To investigate the role of shared epitope (SE) alleles in the short-term clinical response to leflunomide for the treatment of active RA. Methods: In an open-label, multi-centre study of 16-weeks duration, 93 ...
Effects of rheumatoid factor isotypes on disease activity and severity in patients with rheumatoid arthritis: A comparative study
(2007)
The value of rheumatoid factor (RF) isotypes for assessing rheumatoid arthritis (RA) remains debatable. In this study, we have examined the relationships between RF isotypes and disease activity and severity in RA patients. ...
A multicenter study of patients with adult-onset Still's disease compared with systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis
(2006)
Adult-onset Still's disease (AOSD) has often been regarded as the adult spectrum of systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (sJIA). The present study aims to compare the clinical and laboratory features, the disease course ...
Central nervous system lymphoma in a patient with sjogren's syndrome and autoimmune thyroiditis (Hashimoto's thyroiditis)
(2007)
We present a case of central nervous system (CNS) lymphoma in a patient with Sjogren's syndrome (SS) and autoimmune thyroiditis (Hashimoto's thyroiditis) overlap. A 60-year-old woman, who had the diagnosis of SS for 16 ...
Medium-resolution Isaac Newton Telescope library of empirical spectra - II. The stellar atmospheric parameters
(2007)
We present a homogeneous set of stellar atmospheric parameters (T-eff, log g, [Fe/H]) for MILES, a new spectral stellar library covering the range lambda lambda 3525-7500 angstrom at 2.3 angstrom (FWHM) spectral resolution. ...
Crystal structure of 3,3-dichloro-N-p-methoxyphenyl-4-(2-phenyistryl)-2-azetidinone
(2003)
3.3-Dichloro-N-p-methoxyphenyl-4-(2-phenylstryl)-2-azetidinone (C22H15Cl2NO2) was studied by X-Ray analysis, which indicated a monoclinic space group, P2(1)/c, with a = 9.619(5), b = 13.879(4), c = 14.161(5)Angstrom, beta ...
Crystal structure of {[mu-bis(salicylidene)-1,3-propanediaminato]-copper(II)}dibromozinc(II)
(2003)
The title compound is a double oxygen-bridged dimeric heteronuclear metal complex. The coordination around the Cu atom is distorted square-planar involving two O and two N atoms from the bis(salicylidene)-1,3-propanediamine ...
Hydrogen ion-selective poly(vinyl chloride) membrane electrode based on a calix[4]arene
(2003)
A hydrogen ion-selective poly(vinyl chloride) membrane electrode was constructed using 5,11,17,23-tetra-tert-butyl-25,26,27,28-tetracyanomethoxycalix[4]arene as a neutral carrier. The electrode showed an apparent Nernstian ...
