total of 270 quail fertile eggs were set in hatchery. experimental groups including: negative control (neither received probiotic treatment nor challenged by salmonella), positive control (challenged by salmonella but not probiotic treatment) and 7 in hatchery administration methods: in ovo injection, spray, oral gavage, cloacal drinking (cloacal inoculation), cloacal drinking – in ovo injectio...

Pharmacokinetics of intravenous and oral pulsed high-dose dexamethasone were studied in four patients with pemphigus vulgaris. Doses for dexamethasone were varied from 100 to 300 mg. Serum concentrations were measured by high-performance liquid chromatographic procedure with diode assay detection. Bioavailability was assessed by comparing the areas under the serum concentration-time curves foll...

The aim of this study was to examine the effects of oral administration of chitin nanofibers (CNFs) and surface-deacetylated (SDA) CNFs on plasma metabolites using metabolome analysis. Furthermore, we determined the changes in gut microbiota and fecal organic acid concentrations following oral administrations of CNFs and SDACNFs. Healthy female mice (six-week-old) were fed a normal diet and adm...

objective: the present study was designed to investigate the putative antidepressant effects of crocin and crocetin, two major active ingredients of crocus sativus l. (saffron) using mice in two different regimens of acute and sub-acute administration. material and methods: in acute treatment, antidepressant-like activities of crocin and crocetin (10, 20 and 40 mg/kg, i.p.) were evaluated using...

background: bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (bmscs) are the key to regenerative wound healing. mscs have spatial memory and respond to local environment. the goal of this study was to evaluate the use of systemic and intralesional transplantation of bmscs for regeneration of oral mucosa in an in vivo dog model. materials and methods: transplantation of undifferentiated green fluorescent prot...

Administration of oral glutathione (GSH) increases hepatic GSH levels in fasted rats, in mice treated with GSH depletors such as diethyl maleate and in mice treated with high doses of paracetamol. An increase in hepatic GSH levels after administration of oral GSH does not occur in animals treated with buthionine sulphoximine, an inhibitor of GSH synthesis. Administration of oral GSH leads to an...

PURPOSE We wished to determine the extent of absorption of gabapentin (GBP) after rectal administration to children on maintenance therapy. METHODS Two children scheduled for extensive surgery received GBP rectally and orally. A pharmacokinetic profile was derived after each route of administration. RESULTS Serum GBP levels after rectal administration decreased at a rate similar to their ra...

Oral immunotherapy for food allergy has been the focus of a lot of attention recently. The patients have to eat allergenic food instead of eliminating it in this therapy and there is no established standard method yet. To promote clear understanding and improvement of oral immunotherapy, the present study using B10.A mice investigated the effect of multiple oral administration of a model antige...
