Purpose: There is controversy about the effect of mercury (Hg) exposure on developing diabetes and insulin resistance. This study aimed to assess the risk of diabetes and insulin resistance in car painters using biochemical markers and serum Hg levels.
Methods: A retrospective case-control study involving 210 male participants aged between 25 and 50 years.
Background: Phosphodiesterase-4 is an enzyme that regulates immune responses and contributes to the development of psoriasis. Dipyridamole and roflumilast function as phosphodiesterase-4 inhibitors, reducing pro-inflammatory cytokine expression. The aim was to evaluate the anti-psoriatic effect of the topical administration of dipyridamole and roflumilast nanoemulgel combination on imiquimod-induced psoriasiform skin inflammation in rats.

In the first step, hydrazine (NHNH) reacts with a compound containing a carbonyl group (C = O) in the presence of ethanol and heat, leading to the formation of hydrazone compound (H1). The second step is the formation of the Schiff base (H2) by the reaction of compound (H1) with indole, ethanol, and acetic acid, which contain a double bond (C = N).
