Received: Revised: Accepted: November 13, 2014 February 12, 2015 February 21, 2015 Gentamicin-induced nephrotoxicity is associated with free radicals generation in kidney tissue. Medicinal plants contain bioactive constituents that act as natural antioxidants, which can protect the biological system from oxidative stress. In this study, phytochemical constituents of aqueous extract of Calotropi...

BACKGROUND In this study, we prospectively evaluate the diagnostic potential of a gallium-68 (68Ga) prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-binding ligand and positron emission tomography (PET) in detecting metastatic lesions in patients with renal tumour. The secondary aim was to determine whether the findings would result in the alteration of patient management. RESULTS Ten patients with ...

normal 0 false false false en-us x-none ar-sa background: this study was aimed to evaluate protective and therapeutic effects of a specific mixture, containing vitamin c, lysine, proline, epigallocatechin gallate and zinc, as well as alpha-1-antitrypsin protein on lung tumorigenesis induced by benzo(a) pyrene (b (a) p) in mice. materials and methods: swiss albino mice were divided into two main...

The experimental study aimed to induce the inflammation of the cholecyst in 40 pigs, injecting L-α-Phosphatidylcholine in the gallbladder using laparoscopy and to establish the presence of angiogenesis in the healing process. Some groups received then Dicolfenacum and some groups did not, until the laparoscopic cholecystectomy, which was performed after 3 or 7 days. Hematoxylin and eosin stains...

PURPOSE The aim of this study was to investigate the rate of monosomy 3 by CISH technique in Iranian patients with uveal melanoma (UM) and its correlation with clinical and histopathological features. METHOD Archival formalin fixed, paraffin-embedded material from 50 patients who had undergone enucleation for large uveal melanomas was obtained. Monosomy of chromosome 3 alteration by chromogen...

Background—Inactivation of the tumour suppressor gene p16 (CDKN2/MTS-1/ INK4A) and K-ras mutations are among the most frequent genetic alterations in human malignancies. Aims—To investigate the tumour suppressor gene p16 and its possible association with K-ras mutations in intrahepatic cholangiocarcinomas of the liver. Methods—The status of p16 was evaluated in 41 cholangiocarcinomas by methyla...

This study was designed to evaluate the neuroprotective activity of ethanol extract of Pongamia pinnata stem bark in monosodium glutamate-induced neurotoxicity in rats. Neurotoxicity was induced by intraperitoneal injection of monosodium glutamate 2 g per kg body weight daily for 7 days. Ethanol extract of Pongamia pinnata stem bark (200 and 400 mg/kg) was administered orally after 1 h of monos...

labeo rohita fingerlings were reared in freshwater and exposed to different concentrations of lead nitrate. after the exposure, one fish was sacrificed from each dose and the gill arches were removed. the ultrastructural changes on the gills of this cyprinid fish were investigated through scanning electron microscope (sem). lead treated gill tissues showed certain marked changes such as uplifti...
