Journal ArticleDOI
Calprotectin is a stronger predictive marker of relapse in ulcerative colitis than in Crohn’s disease
Francesco Costa,M.G. Mumolo,Linda Ceccarelli,Massimo Bellini,M. R. Romano,C. Sterpi,Angelo Ricchiuti,Santino Marchi,Matteo Bottai +8 more
TL;DR: Faecal calprotectin proved to be an even stronger predictor of clinical relapse in UC than in CD, which makes the test a promising non-invasive tool for monitoring and optimising therapy.
Journal Article
T helper 1 effector cells specific for Helicobacter pylori in the gastric antrum of patients with peptic ulcer disease.
Mario Milco D'Elios,M. Manghetti,M De Carli,Francesco Costa,Cosima T. Baldari,Daniela Burroni,John L. Telford,Sergio Romagnani,G Del Prete +8 more
TL;DR: Results provide evidence for Hp-specific Th1 effectors in the gastric antrum of Hp -infected patients, where they may play a role in the genesis of either peptic ulcer or HP-associated gastric B cell lymphoma.
Journal ArticleDOI
Role of faecal calprotectin as non-invasive marker of intestinal inflammation.
Francesco Costa,M.G. Mumolo,Massimo Bellini,M. R. Romano,Linda Ceccarelli,P. Arpe,C. Sterpi,Santino Marchi,G. Maltinti +8 more
TL;DR: Faecal calprotectin appears to be a promising and non-invasive biomarker of intestinal inflammation and may provide a useful test for the diagnosis and follow up of inflammatory bowel diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI
Different cytokine profile and antigen-specificity repertoire in Helicobacter pylori-specific T cell clones from the antrum of chronic gastritis patients with or without peptic ulcer.
Mario Milco D'Elios,M. Manghetti,Fabio Almerigogna,Amedeo Amedei,Francesco Costa,Daniela Burroni,Cosima T. Baldari,Sergio Romagnani,John L. Telford,G Del Prete +9 more
TL;DR: Evidence is provided that the type of T helper cell response against Hp may vary according to the antigen involved and suggest that a polarized Th1 response may play a role in the genesis of peptic ulcer, whereas a local Th0 response may represent an individual host factor which contributes to lower the degree of gastric inflammation and prevent ulcer complication.
Journal ArticleDOI
Malondialdehyde in Exhaled Breath Condensate as a Marker of Oxidative Stress in Different Pulmonary Diseases
Ml Bartoli,Federica Novelli,Francesco Costa,Laura Malagrinò,Lorenza Melosini,Elena Bacci,Silvana Cianchetti,Fl Dente,A Di Franco,Barbara Vagaggini,Pierluigi Paggiaro +10 more
TL;DR: EBC-MDA is increased in subjects with chronic airway disorders, particularly in COPD, and it is related to FEV1 reduction.
