[Prevalence of microbial nosocomial infections in the resuscitation unit of the University Hospital of Annaba-Algeria].

Nosocomial infections constitute a significant public health problem but are poorly controlled in our health structures, especially those associated with resuscitation care. The first objective of this study was to identify the different microbial strains present in different biological samples taken from patients staying in the resuscitation unit of the Annaba University Hospital Center. The second objective was to assess the antimicrobial sensitivity of isolated microbes from the patients’ samples, to determine the risk factors, the most incriminated microbial agents in nosocomial infections.

Nephroprotective effect of aqueous extract in alloxan-induced diabetic rats.

Background And Aim: In the present study, we investigate the phytochemical composition and the nephroprotective effects as well as the antioxidant properties of aqueous extract in alloxan-induced experimental diabetes in rats.

Experimental Procedure: Wistar rats were divided into four groups of seven rats each: Group I: Normal control (NC) received saline solution at 9‰ given by intraperitoneal way; Group II: Diabetic control (DC) received alloxan (150 mg/kg b.w) intraperitoneally; Group III: Normal control (NC + AHA) received saline solution at 9‰ and treated orally by AHA aqueous extract (400 mg/kg/b.

Effect of L. Essential Oil on Growth, Biofilm Formation and Virulent Genes Expression.

In an oral cavity, dental caries, periodontal disease, and endodontic lesions are caused by well-known bacterial and fungal pathogens. Essential oils (EOs) have demonstrated antimicrobial activity suggesting their use for oral hygiene. The goal of this study was to evaluate the interaction of bitter orange flower ( L.

The antioxidant study proprieties of aqueous extract and its beneficial effect on 2, 4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid -induced hepatic oxidative stress in albino Wistar rats.

Herein, we investigated the antioxidant and hepatoprotective effects of thyme (: AETM) on 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4 -D) - induced liver oxidative damage in rats. The phytochemical study of AETM revealed potent antioxidant properties owed to its richness in phenolic compounds including flavonoids, tannins, and phenolic acids. Further, animal study was conducted on 24 Wistar rats divided equally into control group and three treated groups, receiving orally AETM (10 ml/kg body weight (b.

Protective effect of aqueous extract against 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid-induced nephrotoxicity in Wistar rats.

The aim of the present study was to examine the possible protective effects of aqueous extract of (TMAE) against 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D)-induced oxidative stress and renal injury in the kidney of male albino rats. Furthermore, TMAE was assessed to determine the phenolic content. In vitro, antioxidant activities were evaluated by DPPH radical scavenging, inhibition of β-carotene bleaching, and reducing power.

Potential Role of Selenium Against Hepatotoxicity Induced by 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic Acid in Albino Wistar Rats.

The present study aims to investigate the hepatoprotective effects of selenium on toxicity induced by 'Désormone Lourd' based on 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid in Wistar rats. Male Wistar rats were divided into four groups and were treated orally. The (C) group was used as a control, while the test groups were treated with Se (0.
