We conducted a case-control study to investigate the role of three common single nucleotide polymorphisms of IL-10 (-592G/A, -819T/C, and -1082A/C) in the development of hepatitis B virus (HBV)-related hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The study included 173 HBV-related HCC patients and 182 healthy controls. A polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism ... more
The association between TP53 gene polymorphisms and breast cancer (BC) in Brazilian women is a controversial topic. In this cross-sectional study, we evaluated the association between clinical pathological variables and three polymorphisms (TP53*11, TP53*72, and TP53*248) in BC patients and controls. Genomic DNA was extracted from the blood cells of 393 ... more
In this study, we observed changes in CD4+ CD25+ Foxp3+ Treg expression in rats with osteoarthritis (OA) to explore the role that CD4+ CD25+ Foxp3+ Treg plays in the decline in the condition of OA rats. Thirty rats were randomly divided into 2 groups equally ... more
Chronic periodontal disease (CPD) is described as a recurrent inflammatory condition of tooth supporting tissues, caused by bacterial infections and self-destructive processes of immune activity mediated by pro-inflammatory cytokines, of which the interleukins 1β, 6 and 8 stand out; together with other biomolecules these cytokines mediate innate immunity. These ... more
A rat model of ventilation-induced lung injury (VILI) during anesthesia was generated to investigate the potential role and possible mechanism of interleukin-10 (IL-10) and recombinant human keratinocyte growth factor-2 (rhKGF-2) in protecting anesthetized rats against VILI. A total of 50 male SD rats were randomly divided into 5 groups (N = 10 each): control, VILI, IL-10, rhKGF-2, and ... more
Here, we conducted a case-control study to investigate the association between IL-10 gene polymorphisms and development of CAD in a Chinese population. A total of 220 patients with CAD and 236 control subjects who visited the Zhengzhou People’s Hospital between May 2012 and June 2014 were selected for this study. The IL-10-1082A/G and -592A/C ... more
Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is the most prevalent endocrine disorder affecting females. It is a common cause of menstrual irregularities and infertility during a woman’s reproductive years. Many factors may play a crucial role in the pathogenesis of POCS. One of these factors is related to immunogenetics. Cytokines are significant immunomodulatory proteins ... more
