Electron microscopic observation of thioridazine-induced hepatitis.

چکیده
The introduction of new drugs for clinical practice in recent years, has caused an increasing number of drug-induced hepatic injuries, which are currently receiving much attention because of their iatrogenic nature . As one of the approaches to the study of pathogenesis, electron microscopic studies have been undertaken. This report is concerned with an electron microscopic observation of the liver of a thioridazine-induced hepatitis patient with special reference to the bile canalicular alterations.

Histochemical And Electron Microscopic Diagnosis Of Mitochondrial Myopathy: The First Case Report From Iran
Muscle tissue, skeletal muscle as well as cardiac muscle, is commonly affected in mitochondrial disorders. One explanation for this observation is that muscle tissue has a high-energy demand and therefore is more sensitive to a deficiency of mitochondrial energy production than some other tissues. In mitochondrial disorders, skeletal muscle tissue may be affected primarily by defective respi...
متن کاملThioridazine induces erythrocyte stomatocytosis due to interactions with negatively charged lipids.
Despite the fact that thioridazine is used clinically as a neuroleptic drug, little is known about the molecular mechanisms underlying its biological effects, in particular about its interactions with membranes. In the present work we investigate the influence of thioridazine on model and cell membranes, using calorimetry, DPH fluorescence polarization measurements, studies of haemolysis and sc...
متن کاملElectron microscopic observation of hepatitis B virus budding from hepatocytes into bile canaliculi.
In electron microscopic observation of a liver biopsy obtained from a hepatitis B surface antigen-positive patient, noncoated core particles were occasionally seen budding into the hepatocytic cisterni and many Dane particles were found in the pericanalicular vesicles of hepatocytes. Noncoated core particles were also localized in clusters within the bleb of microvilli. There were some core par...
متن کاملVoltammetric Investigation of Thioridazine Using a Carbon Nanocomposite Electrode in Human Biological Samples
An electrochemical method employing a carbon nanocomposite electrode was developed to measure thioridazine. The electrode has been designed by incorporation of montmorillonite nanoclay into the carbon ionic liquid electrode. Surface morphology of the electrodes was done using scanning electron microscopy. Adsorptive stripping voltammetry was applied as a very sensitive analytical method for...
متن کاملMechanistic approach for thioridazine-induced hepatotoxicity and potential benefits of melatonin and/or coenzyme Q10 on freshly isolated rat hepatocytes
Thioridazine (TZ) is used mainly in the treatment of schizophrenia. However, hepatotoxicity as a life-threatening adverse effect is associated with its clinical use. In this context, we examined the cytotoxic mechanisms of TZ on freshly isolated rat hepatocytes to better understanding of the pathogenesis of TZ-induced hepatotoxicity. Hepatocytes were prepared by the method of collagenase enzyme...
