2. 1. The role of C-reactive protein in percutaneous coronary intervention

   Author : Nawsad Saleh; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : C-reactive protein; Duett sealing device; FemoStop; interleukin-6; pathogen burden; percutaneous coronary intervention; prognosis; myocardial infarction; serum amyloid A; troponin T.; C-reactive protein;

   Abstract : An elevated preprocedural plasma or serum C-reactive protein (CRP) level in patients undergoing percutanous coronary intervention (PCI) is associated with short-, intermediate- and long-term outcome. Furthermore, the procedure itself has been shown to provoke an inflammatory reaction as shown by increased plasma CRP levels after PCI. READ MORE

4. 2. C-reactive protein (CRP) and anti-CRP autoantibodies in systemic lupus erythematosus : a study on the occurrence and clinical implications of anti-CRP antibodies and CRP-mediated complement activation

   Author : Christopher Sjöwall; Thomas Skogh; Johan Frostegård; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; autoantibodies; complement activation; C-reactive protein; cytokines; immune complex; immunoregulation; opsonization; systemic lupus erythematosus; Rheumatology; Reumatologi;

   Abstract : Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease characterized by production of a wide range of autoantibodies, multiple organ involvement and by local formation or tissue deposition of immune complexes (ICs) in the inflamed organs. In contrast to most systemic inflammatory conditions, and despite raised levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines, SLE flares are rarely reflected by elevated C-reactive protein (CRP), an important acute-phase reactant in man with homologs in vertebrates and several invertebrates.

5. 3. Canine C-reactive protein : validation of two automated canine-specific C-reactive protein assays and studies on clinical and research applications

   Author : Anna Hillström; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES;

   Abstract : C-reactive protein (CRP) is a sensitive and specific marker of systemic inflammation in dogs, valuable for diagnosing and monitoring inflammatory diseases. The use of CRP in canine medicine has however been hampered by the lack of automated assays optimized for measuring CRP in this species. READ MORE

6. 4. Platelets in inflammation : Role of complement protein C1q, C-reactive proteinand toll-like receptors

   Author : Caroline Skoglund; Torbjörn Bengtsson; Jonas Wetterö; Pentti Tengvall; David Erlinge; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

   Abstract : Platelets are proven essential in haemostasis, however, they are now also increasingly recognized as cells with important immunomodulatory properties, e.g. through interaction with leukocytes and several species of bacteria and by release inflammatory mediators upon activation.

7. 5. Human C-reactive protein : genetic and hormonal regulation and role in atherogenesis

   Author : Alexander Kovacs; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Although in decline in the developed world CHD is still the number one killer. The decline is thought to be due to better risk prevention and treatment. C-reactive protein (CRP) has emerged as an marker of CHD. It is associated with several of the major risk factors of CHD. READ MORE
