BACKGROUND Pleuropericarditis after pacemaker (IPG) implantation is a rare post-cardiac injury syndrome (PCIS) condition. Pericarditis one of the complications following insertion IPG; it affects 2-5% patients within 5-21 days IPG implementation and associated with screw-in (active fixation) atrial lead positioning. Usually, pericarditis benign has self-limiting course. The mechanism this compl...

Tinospora cordifolia (Guduchi) is an important drug of Ayurvedic system of medicine.It is widely grown at Western ghatts. It is used in diseases like jaundice, edema, gout, diabetes, swine flu (H1N1), hepatitis, hyper acidity, dyspepsia, fever, urinary and skin diseases.

Since a long time back allopurinol has been constantly use to subsidize uric acid level in blood by competitive and suicidal inhibition of xanthine oxidase. Barring a few side few tolerable effects there was never felt any emergency for invention of an alternative. But a dire research was going on to bring into light an alternative which is better than allopurinol in some aspects. Now a non-pur...

Behçet's disease (BD) is a multisystem immune-mediated inflammatory disorder. The choice of treatments depends on organ involvements and its severity. The treatments for pediatric patients usually consist of corticosteroids and immunosuppressants, but some of them are refractory to these treatments. Recently, tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) appears to play an important role in the immun...

OBJECTIVE Familial Mediterranan Fever is an hereditary autoinflammatory disease that presents with recurrent febrile attacks and poly serositis. Colchicine is the only known treatment in this diease. However, nearly 5-10% of patients are resistant to colchicines. There are many different modalities in colchicine resistant patients, biologic and immunosupressive drugs being the known ones. We st...

Colchicine has been used to induce chromosome doubling in plant species. Diploid cotton species have inherited desirable genes that are resistant to biotic and abiotic stresses and also possesses useful fiber quality traits, such as higher fiber length and strength. To transfer these desirable traits to the most extensively cultivated tetraploid cotton species through hybridization, it is a pre...

  Preparation of chromosome spreads and karyotype analysis in Blicca bjoerkna transcaucasica were carried out using 0.01% solution of colchicines and Phytohaemagglutinin (PHA) (20 µg g-1 body weight). The gill and kidney tissues were collected and let to stand in a hypotonic solution of 0.075 M KCl and then treated with a fixative (Carnoy's solution) in three steps. The chromosomes spreads were...

Purpose: To investigate the protective effects of plumbagin against liver fibrosis and explore the influence of plumbagin on the proliferation of hepatic stellate cells (HSCs). Methods: HSC-LX2 cells were divided into blank/control group, 100 ng/ml leptin group, 100 ng/ml leptin + 2 μmol/L plumbagin group, 100 ng/ml leptin + 8 μmol/L plumbagin group and 100 ng/ml leptin + 6.25 μg/ml colchicines...

Methods We describe a 17 yo female patient with Behçet’s syndrome and CD. She was affected by a 4-month history of severe oral and genital ulcers, bilateral uveitis and abdominal pain. A CT scan of the abdomen showed the presence of a retroperitoneal mass (9,4 x 9,0 x 7,4 cm). On the basis of histological and immunohistological findings, a diagnosis of CD, hyaline vascular type, was formulated....
