Decreased levels of calreticulin (active BS vs inactive BS; 1.29-fold) and heat shock 70 kDa protein 8 (active BS vs healthy control; 1.5-fold) which are involved in protein folding and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress process, were observed in patients with active phase of BS.
Stathmin (active BS vs inactive BS; fourfold, active BS vs healthy control; 4.7-fold) and WD repeat-containing protein-1 (active BS vs inactive BS; 2.7-fold, active BS vs healthy control; 2.7-fold), which are cytoskeleton-related proteins, were found to be lower in active patients compared to inactive patients and healthy control.

Median survival did not differ between patients with Behcet's-like syndrome and +8-MDS/MPN and those with +8-MDS/MPN (<i>n</i> = 103) (47 vs 34 months, <i>p</i> = .61).

A better understanding of these complex clinical and biochemical interactions between α-MSH, VIP and IL-6 might lead to the development of novel approaches to manage fatigue and sleep disorders as well as disease activity in BD patients.
The transmembrane immunoglobulin and mucin domain-3 (TIM-3) is a distinct member of the TIM family that is preferentially expressed on Th1 cells and plays a role in Th1-mediated autoimmune or inflammatory diseases, such as Behçet disease.
GM-CSF, IL-11, and IL-12p40 were significantly higher in nongranulomatous uveitis (BD and HLA-B27) than in granulomatous uveitis (sarcoidosis and VKH), whereas APRIL and TWEAK were significantly higher in granulomatous uveitis.

CCL8, CCL13 and CCL20 levels were significantly higher in nongranulomatous uveitis (BD and HLA-B27-associated uveitis) than in granulomatous uveitis (sarcoidosis and VKH disease).

Surgeries were conducted to repair the thoracic aortic aneurysm, proton-pump inhibitor was used to reduce acid secretion, antibiotics were applied for anti-infective therapy, and immunosuppressor was administered to control the injuries of BD.

To explore whether beta-defensins might be involved in BD pathogenesis, we examined plasma human beta-defensin-1 (hBD-1) and DEFB1-20G/A polymorphism in BD patients.
Comparison of serum caspase-3, caspase-9 and caspase-14 levels in subjects with BS and in the HC group did not reveal any statistically significant differences.
The transmembrane immunoglobulin and mucin domain-3 (TIM-3) is a distinct member of the TIM family that is preferentially expressed on Th1 cells and plays a role in Th1-mediated autoimmune or inflammatory diseases, such as Behçet disease.
The measured mean serum caspase-3 level was 12.04 (11.25-43.69) pg/mL in the group with BS and 12.1 (11.19-484.3) pg/mL in the HC group (P = 0.143), mean serum caspase-9 level was 22 (5.14-29.33) pg/mL in the BS group and 22.01 (11.23-850) pg/mL in the HC group (P = 0.593), mean serum caspase-14 level was 6 (5.2-8.21) pg/mL in the BS group and 6.15 (5.7-353) pg/mL in the HC group (P = 0.053).
