Is endocan a novel potential biomarker of liver steatosis and fibrosis? / Da li je endokan novi potencijalni biomarker za steatozu i fibrozu jetre?
(Belgrade: Society of Medical Biochemists of Serbia, 2020)
Studies that evaluated endocan levels in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and liver fibrosis are scarce. We aimed to explore endocan levels in relation to different stages of liver diseases, such as NAFLD, as ...
Protective role of maternal P.VAL158MET catechol-o-methyltransferase polymorphism against early-onset preeclampsia and its complications
(Društvo medicinskih biohemičara Srbije, Beograd i Versita, 2016)
Background: Up until now there have been contradictory data about the association between p.Val158Met catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) polymorphism and risk of preeclampsia (PE). The goal of this study was to assess the ...
Influence of Promoter Polymorphisms of the Tnf-α (-308g/A) and IL-6 (-174g/C) Genes on Therapeutic Response to Etanercept in Rheumatoid Arthritis
(Društvo medicinskih biohemičara Srbije, Beograd i Versita, 2015)
Background: The study was undertaken to assess the influence of functional -308G/A TNF-alpha (rs 1800629) and -174G/C IL-6 (rs1800795) promoter polymorphisms on the therapeutic response to etanercept, a TNF-alpha. blocker, ...
Comparison between bone alkaline phosphatase immunoassay and electrophoresis technique in hemodialysis patients / Poređenje imunohemijske metode i elektroforetske tehnike za određivanje koštanog izoenzima alkalne fosfataze kod pacijenata na hemodijalizi
(Beograd : Društvo medicinskih biohemičara Srbije, 2020)
Background: Problem of the variability between the different methods using for bone alkaline phosphatase(bALP) determination greately influences the clinical significance of bALP as direct marker of bone ...
Association of Myeloperoxidase and the Atherogenic Index of Plasma in Children with End-Stage Renal Disease
(Društvo medicinskih biohemičara Srbije, Beograd i Versita, 2017)
Background: The aim of this study was to explore oxidative stress status, especially the enzyme myeloperoxidase in children with end-stage renal disease. Also, we investigated possible associations between the atherogenic ...
Introduction to Molecular genetic diagnostics
(Društvo medicinskih biohemičara Srbije, Beograd i Versita, 2014)
Molecular genetic testing is part of modern medical practice. DNA tests are an essential part of diagnostics and genetic counseling in single gene diseases, while their application in polygenic disorders is still limited. ...
The clinical importance of biochemical bone markers in patients with alcoholic and viral liver cirrhosis
(Društvo medicinskih biohemičara Srbije, Beograd i Versita, 2014)
Background: Metabolic bone disease in patients with chronic liver disease is called hepatic osteodystrophy and is primarily a sequel to osteopenia/osteoporosis, and rarely secondary to osteomalacia: The aim of this work ...
Plasma cathepsin S is associated with high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and bilirubin in patients with abdominal aortic aneurysms
(De Gruyter Open, 2019)
Cathepsin S (CTSS) is a cysteine protease involved in atherogenesis. We compared the plasma CTSS as well as other biomarkers of atherosclerosis in patients with abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) and aortoiliac occlusive ...
High Interleukin 27 Production is Associated with Early Clinical Stage and Localized Disease in Patients with Melanoma
(Društvo medicinskih biohemičara Srbije, Beograd i Versita, 2016)
Background: The immune response in patients with melanoma is an important focus of research due to the tumor's resistance and immunotherapy possibilities. IL-27 is one of the cytokines with antitumor properties. The role ...
Associations of cholesterol and vitamin D metabolites with the risk for development of high grade colorectal cancer / Povezanost metabolita holesterola i vitamina D sa rizikom za nastanak kolorektalnog karcinoma visokog gradusa
(Beograd : Društvo medicinskih biohemičara Srbije, 2020)
Background:Vitamin D deficiency is repeatedly reported in colorectal cancer (CRC). Since cholesterol and vitamin D share common precursor 7-dehydrocholesterol (7-DHC), it would be important to explore the associations ...
