the objective of this study was to determine the chronology of changes in blood pressure in renalhypertension induced by solid plexiglass clips in rats. saw blades with the thickness of 0.21-0.22 mm wereused to make clips sized 4 × 2 × 2 mm from a piece of 2-mm thick plexiglass. rats were subjected to shamoperation or left renal arterial clipping, and 1, 2, 3 and 4 weeks later blood pressure, a...

conclusions spironolactone combined with aceis or arbs leads to reduction of proteinuria in chronic kidney disease and therefore reduction of progression of the disease. objectives the study was designed to assess the effects of spironolactone as the aldosterone antagonist combined with acei or arb drugs to reduce proteinuria in chronic kidney disease to prevent its progression. patients and me...

The renal microcirculation was assessed in non-clipped kidneys of 23 Munich-Wistar rats with two-kidney one-clip Goldblatt hypertension. Four weeks after placement of a renal arterial clip, mean systemic arterial pressure averaged 163 ± 5 mm Hg in hypertensive rats as compared to 108 ± 2 in sham-operated controls (n = 6 rats). Non-clipped kidneys in hypertensive rats were characterized by highe...

background: we investigated coronary angiogenesis and serum vascular endothelial growth factor (vegf) and its soluble receptor-1 (sflt-1) concentrations in two-kidney one-clip (2k1c) hypertensive rats before and after reversal of hypertension. methods: the animal groups were: (i) sham-clipped for 12 weeks; (ii) 2k1c for 12 weeks; (iii) sham-clipped for 12 weeks and unclipped for 12 weeks; and (...

there had been few if any study for second pancreas transplant outcome and consequences in patients with simultaneous kidney pancreas transplant after failure of the first pancreas allograft. the aim of this study was to compare the patient and graft survival and clinical outcomes and complication of the second pancreas transplant in patients with simultaneous kidney pancreas, compared with pan...

background multiple renal arteries in kidney grafts have been associated with an increased rate of vascular and urologic complications. our objective is to compare the outcome of transplanted patients who receive a single pedicle kidney with those who receive a multiple arterial graft. objectives to find our the differences in the outcome and complications in patients undergoing kidney transpla...

the report of two cases of chest and kidney infections reminds of the possibility of distant infections caused by thrombophlebitic complications of cholesteatoma. deep neck infection, mediastinitis, pleural empyema, pulmonary abscesses and hematogenic microabscesses of kidney have been proved by clinical, radiologic and laboratory examinations in two cholesteatoma patients. the clinical course ...

the cotton bollworm, helicoverpa armigera (hübner), is one of the important polyphagous pests causing serious loss to many economically important crops in iran. the goal of this experiment was to study the age-stage, two-sex life table of h. armigera on different bean cultivars including white kidney bean (cultivars daneshkadeh, pak, and shokufa), red kidney bean (cultivars akhtar, naz, and say...
