Our study addressed the role of the human hepatocyte growth factor (HGF), a potent mitogen for mature rat and human hepatocytes, in the regulation of specific hepatic genes. The experimental evidence obtained in primary cultured human hepatocytes indicates that HGF regulates the synthesis of plasma
Abstract In a series of patients with acute pancreatitis we have studied complement factors, antiproteases (Ξ±2-macroglobulin and Ξ±2-antiprotease) and C-reactive protein to determine the value of their sequential measurement in the prediction of outcome relative to clinical assessment and current mul
## Abstract Previous studies have shown elevated serum levels of interleukin 6 (ILβ6) and Cβreactive protein (CRP) in patients with pancreatic cancer (PC). The aim of this study was to assess the diagnostic usefulness of pretreatment serum levels of ILβ6 and CRP to differentiate between PC and chro
