Assessment of the Utility of Selected Inflammatory Markers in Correlation with Magnetic Resonance Enterography (MRE) Findings in the Diagnosis of Crohn's Disease.

Crohn's Disease (CD) is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease affecting the gastrointestinal tract. The search continues for new markers for assessing the activity of CD. Among them, pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines appear promising.

The transcriptional activity profile of inhibitor apoptosis protein encoding genes in colon cancer patients: A STROBE-compliant study.

The inhibitor of apoptosis family proteins (IAPs) plays a crucial role in the process of carcinogenesis by regulating apoptosis and maintaining the tissue balance.In this study, a transcriptomic analysis of IAP-encoding genes in colon cancer was performed using oligonucleotide microarrays.Adenocarcinoma and healthy colon tissue samples were collected from 32 patients (16 females and 16 males) who underwent surgery due to colon cancer.
