Objective: This study is to investigate the effect of hemoperfusion (HP) on acute lung injury induced by acute organophosphorus pesticide poisoning (AOPP). Methods: A total of 64 cases of patients with AOPP induced acute pulmonary edema from January 2013 to June 2014 were enrolled in this study. The patients were randomly divided into control group (receiving conventional medical treatment) and...

To develop a growth inhibitor, the effects of auxin inhibitors were investigated. Application of 30 μM L-α-aminooxy-β-phenylpropionic acid (AOPP) or (S)-methyl 2-((1,3-dioxoisoindolin-2-yl)oxy)-3-phenylpropanoate (KOK1101), decreased the endogenous IAA levels in tomato seedlings at 8 days after sowing. Then, 10-1200 μM AOPP or KOK1101 were sprayed on the leaves and stem of 2-3 leaf stage tomato...

BACKGROUND Monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) plays an important role in extracellular matrix accumulation through macrophage recruitment and activation in the development and progression of diabetic nephropathy. Therefore, this study examined whether advanced oxidation protein products (AOPPs) are involved in nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) activation and MCP-1 mRNA and protein expression in...

Background/aim: The aim of this research is to investigate the clinical efficacy of hemoperfusion in the treatment of severe acute organophosphorus pesticide poisoning (AOPP). Materials and methods: Patients meeting the inclusion criteria were divided into Groups 1 and 2 according to whether hemoperfusion was applied or not. Group 2 was observed as the control group. Conventional therapy for AO...

background: polycystic ovary syndrome (pcos) is a common disorder of infertility which affects more than 100 million women. it is characterized by chronic anovulation, hyper androgenism and obesity. pcos is also associated with oxidative stress changes. objective: here, we aimed to investigate the level of antioxidants and oxidative stress in iranian women with pcos as a predictive factor for c...

The study aimed to evaluate if the monitoring of advanced glycation end products (AGEs), advanced oxidation protein products (AOPP), lipoperoxides (LPO) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) in plasma could help to predict development of diabetic complications (DC). Clinical and biochemical parameters including AGEs, AOPP, LPO and IL-6 were investigated in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2) with (...

AIM This study aimed at evaluation of ischemia-modified albumin (IMA), malondialdehyde (MDA), and advanced oxidative protein products (AOPP) as markers of vascular injury in diabetic nephropathy (DN) with derivation of cutoff values for the same. MATERIALS AND METHODS Study population comprised 60 diabetes patients and 30 controls, with diabetes patients further categorized into three groups ...

PURPOSE This study aimed to investigate the role of protein peroxidation by detecting the serum levels of advanced oxidation protein products (AOPP), a novel marker for the degree of oxidative damage to proteins, and total thiol as a marker of antioxidant status in diabetic patients with or without diabetic retinopathy (DR) and to compare the results with those of control subjects. METHODS Th...

As traditional risk factors are unable to fully explain the pathogenesis of coronary artery disease (CAD), novel mechanisms became a target of many investigations. Our aim was to study the response of selected markers to physical exercise. High-sensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), matrix metalloproteinases 2 and 9 (MMP-2, MMP-9), advanced oxidation protein products (AOPP), soluble receptor fo...

The main aim of this study was to evaluate the role of Plasma advanced oxidation protein product (AOPP), protein carbonyl as indicator of oxidative stress and reduced glutathione, total thiols, albumin as antioxidant status among epileptics. 25 patients with history of epilepsy on treatment in the age group of 20-60 years were compared with 25 normal healthy controls of same age group. There wa...
