methods this randomized, crossover study with parallel design was conducted in 45 patients who required maintenance hemodialysis due to end-stage renal failure. four patients with known bleeding disorders, receiving anticoagulant drugs and receiving drugs which could affect heparin activity were excluded. all patients were randomly assigned to receive either enoxaparin sodium (0.7 mg/kg) or sta...

Standard-dose heparin protocol (SDP) is the standard anticoagulant of unfractionated (UFH) for maintenance hemodialysis. To alleviate side effect heparin, low-dose (LDP) has been proposed, however, studies were scarce and inconclusive.

Background: Dendritic cells (DC) induce tumor or pathogen-specific T cell responses in humans. Several laboratories have developed culture systems, including maturation factors for human DC from peripheral blood monocytes. We comprehensively compared standard maturation stimulus, an autologous monocyte-conditioned medium (MCM), with heparin for their ability to promote uniformly mature DC that ...

objective: heparin and enoxaparin possess anti-inflammatory properties. we compared the effects of these drugs on inflammatory biomarkers in patients with st-segment elevated myocardial infarction (stemi). method: thirty four patients with stemi randomly separated in two groups and received standard doses of heparin and enoxaparin. the serum concentration of serum amyloid a (saa), c-reactive pr...

Heparin was isolated from whole clam tissue Marcia opima . Purification of multimilligram quantities of heparin from this tissue sample permitted a thorough examination of its anticoagulant activity characterization, which was partially purified by fractionation by anion exchange chromatography using DEAE cellulose column. The isolated crude and partially purified fractionated sample showed me...

conclusions considering possible side effects of heparin and the increase in treatment charges and the fact that using heparin did not have a significant effect on patency and survival of catheters in the studied patients, it is recommended to use normal saline solution to maintain the patency of central venous catheters. results there was no significant difference in the rate of flushing (p = ...
