Effectiveness of Recombinant Human Growth Hormone for Pharyngocutaneous Fistula Closure.
OBJECTIVES In laryngeal cancer, which comprises 25% of head and neck cancer, chemotherapy has come into prominence with the increase in organ-protective treatments. With such treatment, salvage surgery has increased following recurrence; the incidence of pharyngocutaneous fistula has also increased in both respiratory and digestive system surgery. We investigated the effects of recombinant huma...
متن کاملEffects of Low-Dose Recombinant Human Growth Hormone on Bone Densities of Radius, Tibia and 4th Lumbar Vertebrae in Rabbits
Objective- To determine the effects of growth hormone (GH) therapy on bone density in controlled conditions in healthy adult rabbits. Design- Experimental in vivo study. Animal- 20 healthy, adult New Zealand White rabbits. Procedures- The rabbits were divided into 2 groups; receiving Human GH (0.006 mg/kg/d) and controls; receiving placebo for 3 months. The density of radius and tibia was m...
متن کاملTherapeutic Effects of Recombinant Growth Hormone in Improving the Growth of Thalassemia Major Patients: A Retrospective Study
Background and purpose: Beta thalassemia major is one of the most common inherited blood diseases and patients with this condition require regular blood transfusions. The resulting iron overload deposition causes endocrine gland disorders, including growth hormone (GH) abnormality. In this study, we examined the effects of recombinant growth hormone (rGH) in these patients. Materials and metho...
متن کاملEffects of recombinant human growth hormone on muscle protein turnover in malnourished hemodialysis patients.
To assess the effect of recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) on muscle protein metabolism in uremic patients with malnutrition, forearm [3H]phenylalanine kinetics were evaluated in six chronically wasted (body weight 79% of ideal weight) hemodialysis (HD) patients in a self-controlled, crossover study. Forearm protein dynamics were evaluated before, after a 6-wk course of rhGH (5 mg thrice w...
متن کاملEffects of short-term recombinant human growth hormone therapy on plasma leptin concentrations in dialysis patients.
BACKGROUND Hyperleptinaemia is a well-known biochemical feature found in uraemic patients. However, little is known about the hormonal regulation of leptin in chronic renal disease. Recent studies have shown that circulating leptin levels are modified by treatment with recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH), by recombinant insulin-like growth factor I (rhIGF I), or by a combination of rhIGF I ...
