Journal ArticleDOI
Erythropoietin reduces lipopolysaccharide-induced cell Damage and midkine secretion in U937 human histiocytic lymphoma cells
TL;DR: The data presented here provide the first evidence to indicate that EPO treatment directly reverses some of the cytotoxic and secretory effects of LPS in mononuclear cells and might be responsible for the anti-inflammatory role of EPO.
Journal ArticleDOI
P‐Wave dispersion increases in prehypertension
Goksel Cagirci,Serkan Cay,Özlem Karakurt,Neslihan Ebru Eryaşar,Sadik Acikel,Mehmet Dogan,Asuman Biçer Yeşilay,Harun Kilic,Ramazan Akdemir +8 more
TL;DR: Pmax and P‐wave dispersion increase in prehypertensive patients compared with normotensive patients, which might show increased risk of AF inPrehypertension.
Journal ArticleDOI
Association between plasma asymmetrical dimethylarginine activity and severity of aortic valve stenosis.
Goksel Cagirci,Serkan Cay,Aytun Çanga,Özlem Karakurt,Nuray Yazihan,Harun Kilic,Serkan Topaloglu,Dursun Aras,Ahmet Duran Demir,Ramazan Akdemir +9 more
TL;DR: Serum ADMA level may be used as a precious marker to evaluate and follow up the severity of aortic valve stenosis and showed that serum ADMA activity is higher in patients with severe aorta stenosis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impaired right ventricular functions in metabolic syndrome patients with preserved left ventricular ejection fraction.
TL;DR: Both systolic and diastolic functions of the right ventricle deteriorate in MetS patients, and there was no association between the number of MetS components and echocardiographic parameters.
Journal ArticleDOI
Thymosin beta 4 is associated with collateral development in coronary artery disease
Asuman Bicer,Özlem Karakurt,Ramazan Akdemir,Gönül Erden,Ali Yildiz,Özge Özcan,Yusuf Sezen,Sadik Acikel,Harun Kilic,Recep Demirbag +9 more
TL;DR: The findings suggest that serum Tβ4 levels are significantly associated with the collateral development in severe CAD, and these levels were significantly higher than those of the poorly collateralized study group.
