Background: Coronavirus is detected utilising radiological images obtained by a simple scanning technique, such as computed tomography (CT). The current study looked at how chest CT changed during hospitalisation to better understand and diagnose COVID-19.Aim: To see if scan could help in COVID-19 patients with limited PCR diagnostic capabilities, early isolation, contact tracing, therapy. Also...

Molecular effects of sterol-enriched wheat bran oil (eWBA) on lipid metabolism, inflammatory markers, and liver proteome associated with nonalcoholic/metabolic-related fatty disease (MAFLD) are not completely known. In this study, dietary eWBA intervention was used to investigate its effect in ameliorating injury high fat diet (HFC)-fed C57BL/6 mice. Specifically, we examined eWBA’s (i) differe...

liver injury induced by viruses, chemicals and drugs can be protected by different medicinal plants. Feijoa sellowiana (Myrtaceae) is an evergreen bush native to southern areas of South America, as well as Iran where the fruits are very popular. Feijoa has shown a potent antimicrobial effect. Morever, the antioxidant activity of total Feijoa extract has also been reported. MDMA or ecstasy is a ...

Five hundred ninety-three cadaveric livers were used for primary liver transplantation between October 24, 1987, and May 19, 1989. The grafts were procured with a combined method, using in situ cooling with cold electrolyte solution and backtable flushing with UW solution. The mean cold-ischemia time was 12.8 (range 2.4-34.7) hr. The cases were divided into 5 groups according to the cold-ischem...

The paper aimed to study the toxic effects of the degradation products of oxytetracycline and chlortetracycline, such as, α-apo-oxytetracycline (α-apo-OTC), β-apo-oxytetracycline (β-apo-OTC), anhydro-chlortetracycline (ACTC) and 4epi-anhydro-chlortetracycline (EACTC) on rats. Male rats received oral doses of 10 mg/kg body weight/day of either α-apo-OTC, β-apo-OTC, ACTC or EACTC for 90 d. At the...

The present study describes the beneficial effects of potential probiotic E. coli 16 (pUC8:16gfp) expressing Vitreoscilla hemoglobin (vgb) gene, associated with bacterial respiration under microaerobic condition, on gastrointestinal (GI) colonization and its antioxidant activity on carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) induced toxicity in Charles Foster rats. In vitro, catalase activity in E. coli 16 (pU...

BACKGROUND The genus Amaranthus has potential activity as a hepatoprotective agent. OBJECTIVE The present pharmacological investigation focuses on evaluation of the efficacy of aqueous extract of roots of Amaranthus tricolor Linn. for their protection against paracetamol (PCM) overdose induced hepatotoxicity. MATERIALS AND METHODS The aqueous extract of roots of A. tricolor Linn. was prepar...

The objective of the present study was to investigate the hepatoprotective activity of methanol extract of Euphorbia neriifolia (MEEN) against paracetamol induced hepatotoxicity. Hepatotoxicity was induced in Wistar rats by oral administration of paracetamol (640 mg/kg suspended in 1% carboxy methyl cellulose), once during the 16 days treatment period. MEEN was administered orally at the doses ...

Jia-wei-xiao-yao-san (JWXYS) is a traditional Chinese herbal medicine that is widely used to treat neuropsychological disorders. Only a few of the hepatoprotective effects of JWXYS have been studied. The aim of this study was to investigate the hepatoprotective effects of JWXYS on dimethylnitrosamine- (DMN-) induced chronic hepatitis and hepatic fibrosis in rats and to clarify the mechanism thr...

AIM This study was planned to reveal the clinical signs and biochemical alterations in pregnancy toxemic goats. MATERIALS AND METHODS Blood samples were collected from 20 healthy pregnant and 45 pregnancy toxemic goats and analyzed biochemically. RESULTS The most significant clinical findings were observed in naturally affected goats with pregnancy toxemia included anorexia, recumbency, let...
