Plasma zinc levels inversely correlate with vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 concentration in children with sickle cell disease. Open
Zinc deficiency has been implicated in impaired cell-mediated immunity of children with sickle cell disease (SCD). However, its influence on the expression of vascular cell-adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) on endothelial cells, a protein invol…

Increased circulating levels of soluble HLA class I heterodimers in patients with sickle cell disease. Open
This study examined the presence of a persistent state of low-grade inflammation in sickle cell anemia patients by measuring circulating sHLA-I heterodimers and C-reactive protein during the steady state and after recent crises. Thirty-nin…

Tumor necrosis factor alpha in children with sickle cell disease in stable condition. Open
Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) is known to induce wasting in humans and animals. This study was undertaken to determine TNF-alpha concentrations in children with sickle cell disease (SCD) and whether high TNF-alpha levels are more…

Hemoglobin A<sub>2</sub>Levels in Healthy Persons, Sickle Cell Disease, Sickle Cell Trait, and β-Thalassemia by Capillary Isoelectric Focusing Open
Simultaneously measuring major and minor hemoglobin (Hb) variants by capillary isoelective focusing, we obtained HbA2 intervals in healthy volunteers (n = 412) (reference value) and patients with HbS or beta-thalassemia. We classified norm…
