Objective: To study the effects of Tumor Necrosis Factor-α (TNF-α) and anti-TNF-α Monoclonal Antibody (McAb) in myocardial injury of rats with traumatic hemorrhagic shock. Methods: Twenty-four adult male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into the control group (A1 group), lactate Ringer's solution resuscitation group (A2 group) and anti-TNF-αMcAb resuscitation group (A3 group). A k...

Stress has a profound impact on the nervous system and causes cognitive problems that are partly related to the inflammatory effects. Besides influencing the content of neurotransmitters, antidepressants such as doxepin are likely to have anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidative, and anti-apoptotic effects. Therefore, the present study investigated the effects of doxepin on passive avoidance learning ...

Let α be a coprime automorphism of group G prime order and let P an α-invariant Sylow p-subgroup G. Assume that p∉π(CG(α)). Firstly, we prove is p-nilpotent if only CNG(P)(α) centralizes P. In the case Sz(2r) PSL(2,2r)-free where r=|α|, show p-closed CG(α) normalizes As consequence these two results, obtain G≅P×H for H We also generalization Frobenius p-nilpotency theorem groups admitting autom...

AIMS Atherosclerosis is a well-known cause of cardiovascular disease and is associated with a variety of inflammatory reactions. However, an adequate large-animal model of advanced plaques to investigate the pathophysiology of atherosclerosis is lacking. Therefore, we developed and assessed a swine model of advanced atherosclerotic plaques with macrophage polarization. METHODS Mini-pigs were ...

The present study evaluated the effect of anagliptin on intimal hyperplasia following carotid artery injury in Sprague‑Dawley rats. Sprague‑Dawley rats weighing 280‑300 g were injured using a 2F Fogarty balloon embolectomy catheter. The rats were divided into injury‑(saline) and anagliptin‑(10 mg/kg/day) treated groups. vascular injuries were induced in the left carotid artery, followed by eval...

abstract   background: the iranian breast cancer patients are relatively younger than their western counterparts. evidence suggests that alterations in estrogen signaling pathways , including estrogen receptor-α (er- α ), occur during breast cancer development in caucasians. epidemiologic studies have revealed that age-incidence patterns of breast cancer in asians differ from those in caucasian...

BACKGROUND Continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis is a successful treatment modality for patients with end-stage renal disease. Peritoneal fibrosis (PF) is the most critical complication of long-term peritoneal dialysis (PD). AIMS In our study, we aimed to compare the effects of colchicine and sirolimus on PF induced by hypertonic peritoneal dialysis solutions in rats. STUDY DESIGN Anima...
