introduction: cisplatin is an anti-cancer drug used in chemotherapy. one of the limiting side effects of cisplatin is decreasing genital gland function, azoospermia and oligospermia. tribulus terrestris (tt) has been used as an aphrodisiac. the present study amid to investigate the protective effect of tt hydroalcoholic extract against cisplatin-induced apoptisis on testis in mice. methods: mal...

objective(s) portulaca oleracea l. is a herbaceous weed from portulacaceae family. it can be found in many parts of the world. modern pharmacological studies have demonstrated that p. oleracea have antioxidant effects. the protective effect of aqueous and ethanolic extract of p. oleracea against cisplatin-induced renal toxicity was studied in rats. materials and methods single intraperitoneal i...

objective(s): this paper aims to investigate synergistic inhibition of polysaccharide from sepia esculenta ink (sip), a newly isolated marine polysaccharide in our laboratory, on breast cancer mda-mb-231 cells exposed to cisplatin. materials and methods: cell viability of mda-mb-231 cells was determined by cck 8 assay. median-effect concentration was analyzed using chou-talalay method that was ...

Abstract Cisplatin is one of the most commonly used chemotherapy in lung cancer despite its high nephrotoxicity leading to an administration only every 3–4 weeks. This study first report a preclinical investigation therapeutic intensification combining cisplatin dry powder for inhalation (CIS-DPI) with intravenous (iv) cisplatin-based treatment. CIS-DPI 50% content (CIS-DPI-50) was developed us...

Background: Nephrotoxicity is one of the major side-effects of cisplatin that has been seen in about 20% of treated patients. The aim of this study was to assess the effectiveness of a forced hydration protocol comprised of isotonic saline, potassium chloride (KCl) and magnesium sulfate (MgSO4) on prevention of cisplatin nephrotoxicity. Methods: This cross sectional prospective study was perfor...

Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy is a severe clinical problem frequently associated with cisplatin use. Although its pathophysiology poorly understood, it known that kinin receptors and the transient receptor potential ankyrin 1 (TRPA1) channel play significant role in induced by rodents. However, of signalling pathways downstream from B2 activation sensitisation TRPA1 remains unknown...

conclusions it seems that testosterone in low dose, i.e. physiologic dose, protects kidneys against cp-induced nephrotoxicity; however, special care is needed in cp therapy of patients with high levels of ts. results cp increased the serum levels of blood urea nitrogen (bun), creatinine (cr), and malondialdehyde (smda) as well as kidney weight (kw), bodyweight (bw) loss, and kidney tissue damag...

Background: Infertility problem affects 20-30% of young couples. One of the known causes of spermatogenesis disorder is chemotherapy in patients with cancer which its side effect may last up to the end of the life. Since dividing cells are mainly affected by anticancer drugs, the aim of the present study is to investigate the preventive effect of GnRH on spermatogenic defect produced by antican...

Cisplatin is the first heavy metal compound that has been found to possess antineoplastic activity. It effective in treating testicular, ovarian, head and neck, bladder, cervical, esophageal tumors, small cell lung carcinoma. Approximately 1% of cisplatin enters interacts with DNA, forming DNA-cisplatin bonds. Both apoptosis necrosis can be same population cells exposed cisplatin, mode death de...

background : we assessed the effects of cisplatin-based chemotherapy, magnesium supplementation, probable contributory factors such as cisplatin cumulative dose and dose per cycle on serum magnesium levels. methods : in this prospective randomized study, serum magnesium levels of 59 newly diagnosed adult patients receiving cisplatin-based chemotherapy were studied. the patients were randomly al...
