Ultrasound-assisted Endoscopic Evacuation of Recurrent Calf Hematoma Following Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction. Case Study.

Hematoma of the calf is a rare complication following anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR). The golden standard method of its treatment is puncture and aspiration. More advanced procedures are needed in difficult cases, such as prolonged he-ma-tomas.

Self-Enhancement of Rotating Magnetocaloric Effect in Anisotropic Two-Dimensional (2D) Cyanido-Bridged Mn-Nb Molecular Ferrimagnet.

The rotating magnetocaloric effect (RMCE) is a new issue in the field of magnetic refrigeration. We have explored this subject on the two-dimensional (2D) enantiopure {[Mn(R-mpm)][Nb(CN)]}·4HO (where mpm = α-methyl-2-pyridinemethanol) coordination ferrimagnet. In this study, the magnetic and magnetocaloric properties of single crystals were investigated along the bc//H easy plane and the a*//H hard axis.

[Influence of nuclear factor-kappa B inhibition on -SH groups concentration in liver of rats].

The Aim Of The Study: was to evaluate the influence of nuclear factor-kappaB inhibition on -SH groups concentration in liver of rat

Material And Methods: Experiments were performed on Wistar-Kyoto rats divided into following groups: group I (control) received saline; group II (ET-1) received endothelin 1 (12.5 microg/kg b.w.

Influence of block of NF-kappa B signaling pathway on oxidative stress in the liver homogenates.

The aim of the present study was to assess whether BAY 11-7082, a nuclear factor-kappaB (NF- κ B) inhibitor, influences the level of reactive oxygen species (ROS), tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF- α), and NF- κ B related signaling pathways in the liver. The animals were divided into 4 groups: I: saline; II: saline + endothelin-1 (ET-1) (1.25 μg/kg b.

The role of endothelin-1 and its receptor blockers on the liver function.

Endothelin-1 (ET-1) was first described by Yanagisawa et al. (1988) as a 21-amino acid peptide present in the extract from the aorta endothelial cells. It is known that ET-1 is one of the most potent vasoconstrictor compounds and also causes proliferation of many of the vascular cells involved in vascular remodeling.

[The influence of endothelin-1 and endothelin receptor blocker on the content of white blood cells in the peripheral blood of rat].

Unlabelled: The aim of the study was to evaluate the influence of endothelin-1 (ET-1) and endothelin receptor (ETA) blocker (BQ 123) on the content of white blood cells in the peripheral blood of rat.

Material And Methods: Experiments were performed on Wistar rats divided into following groups: group I (control) received saline; group II (ET-1) received endothelin-1 (3 microg/kg b.w.

[The influence of lipoic acid on total protein concentration in the liver and spleen tissue in rats during lipopolysaccharide-induced oxidative stress].

The Aim Of The Study: To evaluate the influence of lipoic acid on total protein concentration in the liver and spleen in rats during endotoxemia.

Material And Methods: Experiments were performed on Wistar rats divided into following groups: Group I (control) received saline; Group II (LA) received lipoic acid (60 mg/kg b.w.

[Role of lipoic acid in health and disease].

Oxidative stress disturbs organism's homeostasis and leads to excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) production. Researchers are still focused on antioxidants that help to reduce oxidative stress level and are helpful in treatment of diseases were ROS overproduction is observed. Among those antioxidants is lipoic acid (LA).
