introduction: limited data are available on the relationship between nutritional status and tuberculosis. the aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the body mass index (bmi) and serum albumin level in patients with active tuberculosis (atb) and latent tuberculosis (ltb). materials and methods: a cross-sectional study was conducted on 17 patients newly diagnosed with pulmonary tb  who we...

The goal of this study was to evaluate the pattern and the suitability of the human Albumin usage according to the available and reliable guidelines. A concurrent, cross-sectional study was performed in Shariati Hospital (associated with Tehran University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran). All inpatient adults that were prescribed albumin during the study period were evaluated to register the...

introduction : albumin, one of the most important plasma proteins, has a difficult process of synthesis and production. we compared two different methods for albumin purification: carboxymethyl cellulose (cm cellulose) resin exchange and diethylaminoethyl cellulose (deae cellulose) resin exchange in order to determine which resin could be more beneficial. materials and methods : two ion exchang...

background and aims: in this lab trial, the effect of scaffold based on human serum albumin (hsa) and hydroxyapatite nanoparticles (ha nps) on mouse spermatogonial cell line (scl) was investigated. materials and methods: to synthesize ha nps, calcium nitrate and diammonium phosphate at ph 13 were gently added and heated at 100 ºc for 24 hours. then serial concentrations of ha nps was separately...

background in order to detect nephropathy, measurement of total (24 hrs) urinary albumin or albumin/creatinin ratio in random urine samples is being recommended. but methods of albumin measurement are not available in all laboratories and also cost about 6 times more than that of urinary total protein measurement. objectives this study was performed to determine appropriate cut off point in 24 ...

the interaction of bovine serum albumin ( bsa) and egg albumin with water solublephthalocyanine, cobalt (ιι) 4, 4′ , 4′′, 4′′′- tetrasulfophthalocyanine ( cotspc) , has been studiedby the uv- vis method at ph 7.0 and five different temperatures 20, 25, 30, 35 and 40°c. theformation constants have been elucidated by using spectrophotometric titration and computersquad program data refinement. th...

background: ritalin (methylphenidate methylphenidate) is an amphetamine used to treat adhd, symptoms of narcolepsy, and some people with depression. this study was to investigate the effect of ritalin food on blood albumin and some liver enzymes. materials and methods: in this study, 40 male wistar rats were randomized into 4 groups (1 control group, and three experimental groups). in the contr...
