Excluding the one woman who moved to Chapaevsk in 2000 (and therefore does not reflect the exposure levels of long-term residents), the respective 2000 and 2009 mean serum concentrations were, for total TEQs, 39 and 26 pg/g lipid, and for ∑PCBs, 312 and 210 ng/g lipid.
60 Patients who observed an aggravation of their acne by food intake exhibited higher IGF-1 serum levels (mean =543.9 ng/mL) compared with those who observed no acne aggravation by food intake (mean IGF-1 =391.3 ng/mL).
More than a half of the subgroup A - 11 people included the patients with clinical suspicion of HH and with high levels of iron and ferritin (168-11100 ng/ml) or high value of transferrin saturation in serum 40-900%, mean 77,17%).
All patients had normal serum IgG levels (mean 1,181 mg/dl) except one patient with CRMO, who initially had raised levels (2,147 mg/dl) that normalized in the following examinations.
At study entry, RA patients with high insulin resistance (HOMA-IR above median) had significantly higher mean DAS28 (P = 0.011), serum triglycerides (P = 0.015), and systolic blood pressure levels (P = 0.024) than patients with low insulin resistance.
At the end of 24 weeks, mean serum calcium values increased similarly in the two treatment groups, and mean 25(OH D values had increased to 55.4±17.0 nmol/L and 37.9±20.0 nmol/L in the Ca+D and the Ca groups, respectively, (p<0.001; figure 4).
Prior to inoculation, experimental pigs had CRP serum concentration below 22 μg/ml (mean 18.64 ± 2.59).
Median preoperative serum CAIX was 104 pg/mL (mean 137.0, range 23-499 pg/mL).
Consistent with previous research (Jordaan et al. 1999), mean serum cotinine levels were significantly higher among children who had at least one smoker living in their home (p < 0.001).
In addition, in our series, mean serum sodium was significantly lower in nonsurvivors (mean: 127.7).
