Effect of novel carboxymethyl cellulose-based dressings on acute wound healing dynamics.

The clinical implications and efficacy of newly developed modified cellulose materials were evaluated in an acute wound animal model. In the current study, sixty male rats were divided into four groups. A full-thickness circular excision wound was created in the suprascapular area.

Composite Hemostatic Nonwoven Textiles Based on Hyaluronic Acid, Cellulose, and Etamsylate.

The achievement of rapid hemostasis represents a long-term trend in hemostatic research. Specifically, composite materials are now the focus of attention, based on the given issues and required properties. In urology, different materials are used to achieve fast and effective hemostasis.

Platinum(II) Iodido Complexes of 7-Azaindoles with Significant Antiproliferative Effects: An Old Story Revisited with Unexpected Outcomes.

A series of platinum(II) diiodido complexes containing 7-azaindole derivatives, having the general formula cis-[PtI2(naza)2] (1-8), has been prepared and thoroughly characterized, including X-ray structure analysis of cis-[PtI2(2Me4Claza)2]∙DMF (8∙DMF; 2Me4Claza = 2-methyl-4-chloro-7-azaindole). Complexes showed high in vitro cytotoxicity against nine human cancer cell lines (IC50 ranging from 0.4 to 12.

[Doublehit lymphomas - review of the literature and case report].

Unlabelled: Blymphocytes are cells of the immune system responsible for the antibody  mediated immune response. As estimated, a human body can produce as much as 1011 specific antibodies. There are no specific genes coding for every individual antibody in the human genome.

[Protective effects of the flavonoids osajin and pomiferin on heart ischemia-reperfusion].

The study was undertaken to evaluate the cardioprotective potential of the flavonoids osajin and pomiferin against ischemia-reperfusion induced injury in rat hearts as a model of antioxidant-based composite therapy. Studies were performed with isolated, modified Langendorff-perfused rat hearts and ischemia of the heart was initiated by stopping the coronary flow for 30 min followed by 60 min of reperfusion (14 ml x min(-1)). Wistar rats were divided into four groups.

Protective effects of osajin in ischemia-reperfusion of laboratory rat kidney.

The aim of this study was to analyze the antioxidative effect of osajin during prophylactic administration. The pathological model for in vivo experiment was the unilateral ischemia-reperfusion of kidney of the laboratory rat. The animals were randomly divided into five groups.

Influence of antioxidant effect of stobadine derivative in condition of kidney ischemia-reperfusion in a pre-clinical experiment (effect in prophylaxis).

The goal of the study was to monitor the antioxidative effect of stobadine derivative in the conditions of ischemia-reperfusion of laboratory rat kidney tissue. The animals were divided by random selection into 5 groups (n = 10). The treated groups were given stobadine derivate in peroral doses of 5, 10 and 20 mg/kg in 0.

Influence of antioxidant effect of stobadine derivative in condition of kidney ischemia-reperfusion in a pre-clinical experiment (effect in therapy).

The goal of the study was to monitor the antioxidative effect of stobadine derivative under conditions of ischemia-reperfusion of laboratory rat kidney tissue. 40 animals were subjected to kidney tissue ischemia (60 min) followed by reperfusion (10 min). After that, the animals were divided by random selection into 4 groups (n = 10).

[Morin in the therapy of the ischemia-reperfusion damage model of the rat kidney].

The aim of this study was to analyze the protective effects of morin administered during the therapy of reperfusion injury of the laboratory rat kidney. Animals were randomly divided into five groups (n= 10). One group was left intact.

[Prophylactic administration of homoisoflavonoid in ischemic-reperfusion damage of the renal tissue in the laboratory rat].

The study aimed to examine the antioxidizing effect of homoisoflavonoid in prophylactic administration under the conditions of renal ischemia-reperfusion in the laboratory rat. The pathological model for the in vivo experiment was unilateral renal ischemia-reperfusion of the laboratory rat. The animals were randomized into 5 groups.

Autofluorescence (safe) bronchoscopy and p21/ki-67 immunostaining related to carcinogenesis.

Archival biopsy materials from 20 randomly selected asymptomatic volunteers from the Czech uranium miners (CZ UM) risk group (n=98) were examined for p21 and ki-67 immunostatning. There were 16 areas with normal respiratory epithelium and 22 areas with bronchial intra-epithelial neoplasia (IEN). Normal and IEN areas were identified by autofluorescence (System Autofluorescence Endoscopy, SAFE-1000) and monitored during 1998-2002.

Sarcoidosis associated with interferon-alpha therapy for chronic hepatitis B.

Sarcoidosis is one of the possible rare complications of interferon-alpha (IFN-alpha) therapy. Only a few reports have been published on this disease, and these have been associated with the treatment of malignant diseases, essential thrombocytosis, and chronic hepatitis C. We report on a 64-year-old man with chronic hepatitis B (HBsAg, HBeAg, HBV DNA-positive) who was treated with recombinant IFN-alpha-2b (5 MU three times weekly) for 28 weeks.
