STUDY ON THE ROLE OF TISSUE-SPECIFIC AND NON-SPECIFIC AUTOANTIBODIES, MATRIX METALLOPROTEINASE-3 AND NEURON-SPECIFIC ENOLASE ENZYMES IN THE EXACERBATION OF AUTOIMMUNE THYROIDITIS

The aim of the study was to examine the involvement of tissue-specific and non-specific autoantibodies, matrix metalloproteinase-3 and neuron-specific enolase (NSE) enzymes in the development and exacerbation of autoimmune thyroiditis.Materials and methods.The study enrolled 170 patients with autoimmune thyroiditis (64 males and 106 females aged 18

Doline mapping is paramount in the vulnerability and risk assessment of the underground karst environment by identifying cave-ground connectivity points at the surface.However, manual mapping is labour-intensive, slow and subjective, especially on a large scale.Therefore, the present study adopted a GIS-based semi-automatic approach for mapping lar

est (RST) is the most commonly used electrodiagnostic test to asses the defect of neuromuscular transmission, which is reported to be positive in the diffuse and restricted ocular forms 60-95% and 14-50%, respectively.In a cross-sectional study, to determine the efficacy of repetitive stimulation test in myasthenia gravis, we evaluated the results

Abstract Introduction Duration of risk symptoms (DUR) in people at clinical high risk for psychosis (CHR-P) has been related to poorer clinical outcomes, such as reduced functioning, but it is currently unclear how different symptoms emerge as well as their link with cognitive deficits.To address these questions, we examined the duration of basic s
