Lung protection strategy as an effective treatment in acute respiratory distress syndrome

Cancer requires appropriate assessment (diagnostic interventions), treatment interventions (hormonal therapy, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, surgery) or palliative symptom management [1,3]. These all interventions may lead to acute pain syndrome including neuropathies due to injuries to nerves during surgical intervention, acute neurotoxicity due to chemotherapeutic agents and acute radiation indu...

BACKGROUND Nuclear accidents and terrorism presents a serious threat for mass casualty. While bone-marrow transplantation might mitigate hematopoietic syndrome, currently there are no approved medical countermeasures to alleviate radiation-induced gastrointestinal syndrome (RIGS), resulting from direct cytocidal effects on intestinal stem cells (ISC) and crypt stromal cells. We examined whether...

Delivery of targeted hematopoietic irradiation using radiolabeled monoclonal antibody may improve the outcome of marrow transplantation for advanced acute leukemia by decreasing relapse without increasing toxicity. We conducted a phase I study that examined the biodistribution of 131I-labeled anti-CD45 antibody and determined the toxicity of escalating doses of targeted radiation combined with ...

background: polycystic ovary syndrome (pcos) is one of the most common endocrine women’s disorders in reproductive age. hyperandrogenism has a critical role in the etiology of pcos and it can cause fault in steroidogenesis process. during steroidogenesis, steroidogenic acute regulatory protein (star) seems to increase the delivery of cholesterol through mitochondrial membrane. therefore, polymo...

introduction : intestinal ischemia and reperfusion (i-i/r) is an insult associated with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ards). herein we evaluate the dose-response effect of low-level laser therapy (lllt) on lung inflammation induced by i-i/r. methods : mice were subjected to mesenteric artery occlusion (45 min) and killed after clamp release and intestinal reperfusion (2h). increasing dos...

Infectious esophagitis may be caused by fungal, viral, bacterial or even parasitic agents. Risk factors include antibiotics and steroids use, chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy, malignancies and immunodeficiency syndromes including acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. Acute onset of symptoms such as dysphagia and odynophagia is typical. It can coexist with heartburn, retrosternal discomfort, ...

In work on Wistar rats with experimental crush syndrome and acute alcohol intoxication shown that alterations of «metabolic profile» are stipulated by the lymphatic system, which emerges as an active component to urgent adaptation in critical situations. It is shown by the expressed infringements of an exchange of electrolytes in plasma. lymph and myocardium at the rats, that can make a part of...

Since it was proposed in 2007, molecular hydrogen therapy has been widely concerned and researched. Many animal experiments were carried out in a variety of disease fields, such as cerebral infarction, ischemia reperfusion injury, Parkinson syndrome, type 2 diabetes mellitus, metabolic syndrome, chronic kidney disease, radiation injury, chronic hepatitis, rheumatoid arthritis, stress ulcer, acu...
