The glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) are a family of multifunctional enzymes involved in cellular detoxification. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of albendazole--drug of choice for trichinellosis--on the total activity and kinetics of cytosolic GST in the mouse intestines during experimental trichinellosis. Our results showed a statistically significant decrease in the total G...

BACKGROUND Higher closure rates of the open abdomen have been reported with negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) than with other wound management techniques. However, the method has occasionally been associated with increased development of fistulae. We have previously shown that NPWT induces ischemia in the underlying small intestines close to the vacuum source, and that a protective disc pl...

background: to solve the problems caused by using synthetic pesticides in agricultural fields and aquaculture ponds studies are being carried out on the feasibility of using biopesticides or plant extracts, which are less toxic. extensive research is being carried out by researchers globally to manufacture pesticides using plant extracts. the present study evaluated the effect of datura metel p...

The ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) activity of rat intestines, liver, and brain was found to vary dramatically as animals develop and age. Unusually high activity was present in the small intestines of adult animals. The ODC activity of the small intestines approximated that of fetal tissues and of regenerating rat liver. Putrescine, spermine, and spermidine levels of fetal and adult animal tiss...

and the cadaver, are collected certain of the standard operations upon the stomach and intestines. It consists of five chapters which deal with the repair of intestinal wounds; suture, materials, needles, tying of knots, use of clamps, etc. ? anatomy of the intestines; operation upon the intestines ; and operations upon the stomach. As stated in the preface, no pretence is made of giving all th...
