Abstract

In this study, we aim to evaluate the balance of interleukin (IL)-33 and its soluble receptor sST2 in patients with aplastic anemia (AA). Plasma IL-33, IL-17 and sST2 levels were measured in patients with active AA (n = 31), AA in remission (n = 29) and in healthy subjects (n = 30), using enzyme linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs). The results showed that sST2 and IL-17 levels were significantly elevated in patients with active AA when compared to control subjects, but IL-33 levels were significantly lower in AA patients, which resulted in elevated sST2/IL-33 ratios in patients with active disease. During remission stages, the levels of these cytokines were comparable to those of healthy controls. The elevated levels of sST2/IL-33 in the plasma during active stages of the disease suggest a possible role in the pathogenesis and course of AA.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 18 December 2015.
All research outputs
#20,298,249
of 22,835,198 outputs
Outputs from Cancer Cell International
#1,357
of 1,801 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#327,510
of 390,452 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Cancer Cell International
#10
of 14 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,835,198 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,801 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.8. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 390,452 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 14 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
