METHOD Eighty patients were prospectively randomized for precolonoscopic cleansing either with 750ml of 10% mannitol (Group M) or 180ml of a sodium phosphate preparation (Group NaP). Laboratory examinations before and after preparation on all patients included hemoglobin, hematocrit, sodium, potassium, phosphorous, calcium and serum osmolarity. A questionnaire was used to assess undesirable sid...

To evaluate the effect of feeding thermally oxidized lipids on metabolic oxidative status, gut barrier function, and immune response of young pigs, 108 barrows (6.67 ± 0.03 kg BW) were assigned to 12 dietary treatments in a 4 × 3 factorial arrangement in addition to a corn-soybean meal control diet. Main effects were 4 lipid sources (corn oil [CN], canola oil [CA], poultry fat [PF], and tallow ...

tilmicosin (tlm) is an important antibiotic in veterinary medicine with low bioavailability and safety. this study aimed to formulate and evaluate physicochemical properties, storage stability after lyophilization and antibacterial activity of three tlm-loaded lipid nanoparticles (tlm-lnps) including solid lipid nanoparticles (slns), nanostructured lipid carriers (nlcs) and lipid-core nanocapsu...

Mannitol, a common pharmaceutical ingredient, exhibits complex polymorphism even in simple binary mannitol/water mixtures, with four crystalline forms observed. In this investigation, time/temperature-resolved synchrotron X-ray diffraction measurements are performed during freezing and thawing of mixtures. Mannitol crystallization depends strongly on the cooling rate is initiated cooling, if lo...

The Auckland Hospital cardiothoracic unit recently removed Mannitol and Voluven from its Plasma-lyte-based cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) priming fluid. Like with any change to practice, a comprehensive audit should be performed to identify positive or negative effects. The aim of this retrospective analysis was to investigate the effect of changing the CPB prime constituents on fluid balance and...

BACKGROUND Mannitol and hypertonic saline (HS) are used by clinicians to reduce brain water and intracranial pressure and have been evaluated in a variety of experimental and clinical protocols. Administering equivolume, equiosmolar solutions in healthy animals could help produce fundamental data on water translocation in uninjured tissue. Furthermore, the role of furosemide as an adjunct to os...

The effect of mannitol usage during kidney donation and transplantation is still unclear. Therefore, we performed a systematic review meta-analysis to research the difference in graft function between grafts treated with without mannitol. A literature search was 5 databases included 8 eligible studies out 3570 references, which were up July 12, 2021. Relevant outcomes for analysis survival, rej...

There are several reports suggesting hyperosmotic contents in the feces of patients suffering from inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Previous works have documented that hyperosmolarity can cause inflammation attributable to methylation of the catalytic subunit of protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) and subsequent NF-kappaB activation resulting in cytokine secretion. In this study, we demonstrate that...
