Background: Pharmacological treatment of venous diseases is common, but there is considerable international variation in the use of drugs. The purpose of this study is to review the clinical evidence. Methods: A systematic literature review (1966-2000) was carried out. Results: 144 studies were identified and considered for review. A wide range of drug types is used of which the ‘venotonic’ dru...

Kelussia odoratissima Mozaff. is a species of Apiaceae endemic to the Zagros Mountains in Iran. In present investigation, for first time, polyphenolic compounds and flavonoids its leaves were determined by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS). As result, p-coumaric acid, ferulic caffeic chlorogenic acetyl phloroglucinol, vanillic m-coumaric 4-methylsiringol as main phenolic compounds...

Alcohol consumption has been commonly associated with gastric mucosal lesions including gastric ulcer. Diosmin (DIO) is a natural citrus flavone with remarkable antioxidant and anti-inflammatory features that underlay its protection against cardiac, hepatic and renal injuries. However, its impact on gastric ulcer has not yet been elucidated. Thus, the current study aimed to investigate the pote...

<p class="MTitel">Urolithiasis is a recurrent pathology manifested by the stone formation in urinary system; it has long been treated traditional medicine plant remedies. Several studies have provided efficacy of medicinal plants as well their chemical compounds against formation. The present work aims to summarize antiurolithiatic effect phytochemicals, including quercetin, rutin, catech...

A new, simple assay has been optimized to generate and detect hydroxyl radical by Fenton reaction. The assay is based on oxidation of catechol, monitored at 360 nm following incubation at room temperature for ca. 30 minutes, with linearity over 0.25 through 2.5 μmole H2O2 using Fe (II) (0.5 μmole) and acidified catechol (0.5 mg). The Fenton reaction has been characterized by registering: (i) ab...

Abstract Grapefruit (G) parts contain abundant phenolic acids and flavonoids (PPNs FLVs). The wastes created from exocarps, mesocarps (G wastes, GW) waste blanching water (WBW) lead to a considerable loss of PPNs FLVs. Here, we assessed Buntan (CB), Hayata (CBH), Peiyu (CP) cultivars observed amounts ethanolic extracts GW (GWE) WBW contained gallic acid, protocatechuic chlorogenic caffeic ferul...

Renal transplantation, as an effective treatment for end-stage renal disease, has many clinical complications, among which delayed graft function recovery, one of the common postoperative is also a major risk factor affecting short-term and long-term efficacy transplantation. Therefore, reasonable use after transplantation to promote recovery great significance prognosis these patients. Based o...

The fruits pulp, leaves, stem bark, root extracts plant were identified using GC-MS LC-MS/QTOF techniques while activity investigated MTT ...

AIMS Fluid retention is a phenomenon associated with taxoids. The principal objective of this study was to investigate the pathophysiological mechanism of docetaxel-induced fluid retention in advanced cancer patients. METHODS Docetaxel was administered as a 1 h intravenous infusion every 3 weeks, for at least 4-6 consecutive cycles, to patients with advanced breast (n = 21) or ovarian (n = 3)...
