Increased production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) may be a common pathway in atherosclerosis, diabetes, cataract, accelerated ageing, drug toxicities. The protective role of N-acetyl cysteine (NAC)and magnesium(Mg) in gentamicin induced nephrotoxicity was evaluated . 100 albino rats were divided into 5 groups. Sham control (A), Gentamicin group (B), Gentamicin + NAC group(C), Gentamicin + M...

Lead exposure is a well-known cause of increases in urinary coproporphyrin and erythrocyte zinc-protoporphyrin, so these compounds are often used to monitor occupational lead exposure. The increased concentrations are usually assumed to result from lead inhibition of two of the mitochondrial enzymes of heme biosynthesis, coproporphyrinogen oxidase (EC 1.3.3.3) and ferrochelatase (EC 4.99.1.1). ...

Mizoribine is administered orally and excreted into urine without being metabolized. Many research groups have reported a linear relationship between the dose and peak serum concentration, between the dose and AUC, and between AUC and cumulative urinary excretion of mizoribine. In contrast, a significant interindividual variability, with a small intraindividual variability, in oral bioavailabil...

conclusions both the lukewarm-water-soaked gauze and the hot pack techniques had significant effects on postoperative urinary retention and significantly reduced the need for urinary catheterization. using these two simple and cost-effective techniques for managing postoperative urinary retention is recommended. results respectively, 59.5%, 71.4%, and 7.1% of patients in the hot pack, the soake...
