Leber hereditary optic neuropathy in the population of Serbia
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2014)
Background: Leber hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON) is the most common mitochondrial disorder. However, few countries have published their population-based findings related to this multisystemic disease. The aim: In order ...
Review Article Socio-economic determinants of micronutrient intake and status in Europe: a systematic review
(Cambridge Univ Press, Cambridge, 2014)
Objective To provide the evidence base for targeted nutrition policies to reduce the risk of micronutrient/diet-related diseases among disadvantaged populations in Europe, by focusing on: folate, vitamin B-12, Fe, Zn and ...
Erythrocyte membranes from slaughterhouse blood as potential drug vehicles: Isolation by gradual hypotonic hemolysis and biochemical and morphological characterization
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2014)
The present study was aimed at investigating the effect of isolation process-gradual hypotonic hemolysis on chosen parameters of the erythrocyte membranes (ghosts) originating from bovine and porcine slaughterhouse blood. ...
Evaluation of isokinetic and isometric strength measures for monitoring muscle function recovery after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction
(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, Philadelphia, 2014)
Although various strength tests and their outcome measures have been proposed for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction (ACLR), their measurement properties still remain relatively underexplored. The aim of this ...
Losartan Improved Antioxidant Defense, Renal Function and Structure of Postischemic Hypertensive Kidney
(Public Library Science, San Francisco, 2014)
Ischemic acute renal failure (ARF) is a highly complex disorder involving renal vasoconstriction, filtration failure, tubular obstruction, tubular backleak and generation of reactive oxygen species. Due to this complexity, ...
The Wolf (Canis lupus) as an Indicator Species for the Sylvatic Trichinella Cycle in the Central Balkans
(Wildlife Disease Assoc, Inc, Lawrence, 2014)
Wildlife is the most important reservoir of Trichinella spp. worldwide. Although the Balkans are a recognized European endemic region for Trichinella infections, data on wildlife are scarce. To monitor the circulation of ...
Correlation between ER, PR, HER-2, Bcl-2, p53, proliferative and apoptotic indexes with HER-2 gene amplification and TOP2A gene amplification and deletion in four molecular subtypes of breast cancer
(Springer, Dordrecht, 2014)
The aim of our study was to investigate HER-2 and TOP2A gene status and their correlation with Bcl-2, p53, Ki67, ssDNA, and clinicopathological parameters in four molecular subtypes of breast cancer. Seventy-four ...
Novel Patents and Cancer Therapies for Transforming Growth Factor-Beta and Urokinase Type Plasminogen Activator: Potential Use of Their Interplay in Tumorigenesis
(Bentham Science Publ Ltd, Sharjah, 2014)
Transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta) plays different roles in health and disease. TGF-beta has been assumed as a dual factor in tumor growth, since it can repress epithelial tumor development in early stages, while ...
Evidence for genetic diversity of Toxoplasma gondii in selected intermediate hosts in Serbia
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2014)
To contribute to the insight into the worldwide population structure of Toxoplasma gondii, we genetically characterized a total of eight strains isolated from intermediate hosts including humans, sheep and pigeons in Serbia. ...
