Cathepsin inhibitor has been purified to homogeneity from catfish muscle (Pangasius sp.). The purification was carried out through ammonium sulphate precipitation, followed by ion exchange chromatography using DEAE-Sephadex A-75, followed by gel filtration on Sephadex G-100. Throughout the purification procedure, cathepsin inhibitory activity was determined against hemoglobin. A single band of ...

ischemia reperfusion injury (ir injury) is a common problem in clinical conditions. researches have frequently revealed that atp- sensitive potassium (katp) channels and nitric oxide plays a role in protection against ischemic injury in skeletal muscle. the present study aimed at evaluating the possible link between this two pathways. sixty-eight male wistar rats, were pretreated with saline, d...

There is little data for the management of patients with mild hemophilia-A and inhibitors concerning prophylaxis before operations and in the postoperative period. We report a case of an adult with mild hemophilia-A and a low-titer inhibitor who successfully underwent hemorrhoidectomy without post-operative bleeding. An increased dose of F-VIII concentrate was given before operation and a bypas...

Bypassing agents are the mainstay of treatment for patients with hemophilia with high-titer inhibitors. Whereas the availability of these agents has greatly advanced the management of bleeding episodes in this population, timely administration of bypassing agents continues to be hampered by a number of practical limitations, including the need for refrigerated storage of the agent and its recon...

background: hemophilia is the most frequent severe hereditary hemorrhagic disease due to deficiency of coagulation factors viii (hemophilia a) or ix (hemophilia b) in plasma. we aimed to identify patients with hemophilia in kermanshah, iran and assess the incidence of inhibitors in this population and its associated factors. methods: this study was conducted on patients with hemophilia a and b ...

Spondyloarthritis (SpA) encompasses a group of rheumatologic diseases, including axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA), psoriatic arthritis, arthritis with associated inflammatory bowel disease (i.e. Crohn’s and ulcerative colitis), reactive undifferentiated SpA, which all share certain clinical, biological genetic features. However, the pathogenesis remains largely unexplained. Recent evidence sugge...

background: inhibitory antibody to exogenous factor viii (fviii) is a major complication of hemophilia treatment. this study was conducted to determine the prevalence of inhibitor antibody directed against fviii.methods: from may 2010 to may 2011, 52 patients with severe hemophilia a admitted in amirkola children’s hospital were evaluated. those who had abnormal mixing study, antibody against f...
