Journal ArticleDOI
Genetic variation in the tumor necrosis factor-α promoter region and in the stress protein hsp70-2
Souhir Mestiri,Noureddine Bouaouina,Slim Ben Ahmed,Achraf Khedhaier,Besma Bel Hadj Jrad,Sami Remadi,D.S.C. Lotfi Chouchane Ph.D. +6 more
TL;DR: Genetic variation in TNF-alpha and hsp70-2 may represent not only markers for the increased risk of breast carcinoma but also may predict the clinical outcome.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characterization of ST80 Panton-Valentine leukocidin-positive community-acquired methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus clone in Tunisia
TL;DR: The isolates showed susceptibility to the majority of antibiotics, and resistance to kanamycin, erythromycin, and tetracycline, but intermediate resistance to fusidic acid, and full analysis revealed that the isolates were nonmultiresistant and belonged to a single clonal type ST80.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tumor necrosis factor promoter gene polymorphism associated with increased susceptibility to non-Hodgkin's lymphomas.
Besma Bel Hadj Jrad,Amel Chatti,Adnene Laatiri,Slim Ben Ahmed,Abdelaziz Romdhane,Salem Ajimi,Lotfi Chouchane +6 more
TL;DR: Results indicate that the genetic polymorphism which could lead to an increased TNF production or a neighboring gene within the MHC region may influence the susceptibility to NHL in Tunisian population.
Journal ArticleDOI
Toxoplasma gondii infection in schizophrenia and associated clinical features
Awatef Esshili,Awatef Esshili,Sihem Thabet,Achraf Jemli,Fatma Trifa,Anouar Mechri,Ferid Zaafrane,Lotfi Gaha,Georg Juckel,Hamouda Babba,Besma Bel Hadj Jrad +10 more
TL;DR: This study provides further evidence to the hypothesis that exposure to Toxoplasma may be a risk factor for schizophrenia, and suggests toxoplasmosis in men with schizophrenia may lead to more severe negative and cognitive symptoms and a less favorable course of schizophrenia.
Journal ArticleDOI
Autoantibodies to tubulin are specifically associated with the young age onset of the nasopharyngeal carcinoma
Majida Jalbout,Besma Bel Hadj Jrad,Noureddine Bouaouina,Jalel Gargouri,Salwa Yacoub,Abdelfatteh Zakhama,Ridha Khlifa,Lotfi Chouchane +7 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the autoantibodies to the cytoskeleton and nuclear proteins are associated with the nasopharyngeal carcinoma in Tunisians and that only anti‐tubulin reactivity was significantly affected by treatment.
