rats were treated with acetylsalicylic acid (150 mgikg b.w.per os daily) or naproxen (125 mg/kg b.w. per os daily) for six weeks. half of the rats received silymarin (17.5 mgikg b.w. per os daily) in the last three weeks of the experiment. it was found tliat administration of acetylsalicylic acid led to signs of hepatic damage (an increase in serum bilirubin level, alanine aminotransferase and ...

Background: The present study aimed to evaluate the effects of different concentrations of cerium oxide nanoparticles (CONPs) on the oxidative stress (OS) status in kidney, lung, and serum of rats. Methods: Male Wistar Rats were treated intraperitoneally with 15, 30, and 60 mg/kg/day of CONPs. The biochemical parameters, including total antioxidant capacity (TAC), total thiol group (TTG), malon...

Many applications have service requirements that are not easily met by existing operating systems. Real-time and security-critical tasks, for example, often require custom OSes to meet their needs. However, development of special purpose OSes is a time-consuming and difficult exercise. Drivers, libraries and applications have to be written from scratch or ported from existing sources. Many rese...

Background: Multiple organ dysfunctions have been linked to exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) and oxidative stress (OS), oxidative DNA damage, and inflammatory response to PAH have been implicated. The biomarkers of OS (malondialdehyde (MDA), total plasma peroxide (TPP), total antioxidant capacity (TAC), glutathione (GSH), nitric oxide (NO), oxidative stress index (OSI)); 8-hy...

O gerenciamento de riscos é essencial para o sucesso do projeto. Contudo, a gerência de riscos é uma atividade difícil e subjetiva. O objetivo deste trabalho é extrair elementos de modelos organizacionais para auxiliar a realização do gerenciamento de riscos. Nós utilizamos o framework i* para modelar os relacionamentos entre as pessoas envolvidas no projeto. Através da análise dos relacionamen...
