Tramadol alleviates myocardial injury induced by acute hindlimb ischemia reperfusion in rats.

Background: Organ injury occurs not only during periods of ischemia but also during reperfusion. It is known that ischemia reperfusion (IR) causes both remote organ and local injuries.

Objective: This study evaluated the effects of tramadol on the heart as a remote organ after acute hindlimb IR.

Evaluation of low-level laser therapy, platelet-rich plasma, and their combination on the healing of Achilles tendon in rabbits.

Tendon repair is still one of the challenges for rehabilitation. Various treatments for tendon injuries have been used in recent decade. This study was established to investigate the effects of low-level laser therapy (LLLT), platelet-rich plasma (PRP) treatment alone, and using combined method on the healing of Achilles tendon in rabbits.

The effects of low-intensity laser therapy on hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury in a rat model.

Ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) is a major mechanism of liver injury following hepatic surgery or transplantation. Despite numerous reports on the role and relics of low-intensity laser therapy (LILT) in many organs, the potential effects of LILT on hepatic ischemia-reperfusion have not been explored. This study was aimed to investigate the impresses of LILT applied to the skin following hepatic ischemia and reperfusion.

The antioxidant role of N-acetylcysteine on the testicular remote injury after skeletal muscle ischemia and reperfusion in rats.

t is known that ischemia reperfusion causes remote organ injury as well as local injury. The aim of this study was to investigate whether N-acetylcysteine has a protective effect against testicular injury after skeletal muscle ischemia reperfusion. Twenty male Wistar rats were allocated to two groups: ischemia reperfusion (control group) and ischemia reperfusion + N-acetylcysteine (treatment group).

Protective effect of N-acetylcysteine on kidney as a remote organ after skeletal muscle ischemia-reperfusion.

Purpose: To investigate whether N-acetylcysteine has a protective effect against renal injury as a remote organ after skeletal muscle ischemia-reperfusion in rats.

Methods: Twenty Wistar male rats were divided randomly into two experimental groups: group ischemia-reperfusion (group I) and group ischemia-reperfusion + N-acetylcysteine (group II). After ketamine and xylazine anesthesia, femoral artery was exposed.

Effect of N-acetylcysteine on lung injury induced by skeletal muscle ischemia-reperfusion. Histopathlogical study in rat model.

Purpose: To investigate whether N-acetylcysteine, a free radicals scavenger has a protective effect against lung injury as a remote organ after skeletal muscle ischemia-reperfusion.

Methods: Twenty Wistar male rats were divided randomly into two experimental groups: group ischemia-reperfusion (group I) and group ischemia-reperfusion +N-acetylcysteine (group II). All animals were undergone two hours of ischemia by occlusion femoral artery and 24h of reperfusion.

Clinical evaluation of 222 Iranian patients with halitosis.

The primary objectives of the study were to investigate the levels of volatile sulfur compounds (VSCs) in Iranian patients and to find the most prevalent class of halitosis among them. The secondary objective was to study the measures employed by the patients to reduce halitosis. 46.
