A reaction of 13-hydroperoxide octadecadienoic acid (13-HPODE) with cytochrome c was analysed using ESR, HPLC-ESR and HPLC-ESR-MS by the combined use of the spin-trapping technique. The ESR, HPLC-ESR and HPLC-ESR-MS analyses showed that cytochrome c catalyses formation of pentyl and octanoic acid radicals from 13-HPODE. On the other hand, only the alpha-(4-pyridyl-1-oxide)-N-t-butylnitrone/octa...

Introduction and Aim: Open fractures are associated complications such as infections, osteomyelitis, non- union. Levels of CRP, ESR TLC increases during various types tissue injury. This study aimed at estimating the effect deranged peri-operative ESR, in patients with open long bone to assess them significant markers postoperative infection. Methodology: Patients period Jan 2019 June 2020 were...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Although a large number of independent studies have shown a paramount role for Proteus mirabilis in the aetiopathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), this hypothesis is still controversial among rheumatologists. The main obstacle to its acceptance is the impression that increased Proteus antibodies in RA patients is a secondary phenomenon, occurring as the result of c...

The reaction of ram seminal vesicle (RSV) microsomes with arachidonic acid (AA) was examined using electron spin resonance (ESR), high performance liquid chromatography-electron spin resonance spectrometry (HPLC-ESR), and high performance liquid chromatography-electron spin resonance-mass spectrometry (HPLC-ESR-MS) combined use of spin trapping technique. A prominent ESR spectrum (alpha(N) = 1....

C-reactive protein (CRP) and the erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) are often ordered together in patients suspected of having inflammatory or infectious disorders. ESRs are higher in women than in men and they also increases with age, although most laboratory reference ranges only take gender into account. It is unclear whether CRP, like ESR, differs between women and men and/or increases wi...

OBJECTIVES Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and serum level of C-reactive protein (CRP) are the acute phase reactants most commonly determined in patients with rheumatic diseases. The indices are affected by different factors, but both of them are applied for evaluation of the disease activity in patients with inflammatory disorders of the musculoskeletal system. MATERIAL AND METHODS The ...

results; out of 634 patients, 61 subjects (9.62%) had significant complications including: acute renal failure, alveolar hemorrhage, ards, clotting disorders, pancreatitis, gastrointestinal bleeding and intracranial bleeding; age, jaundice, renal and pulmonary involvement (oliguria and anuria), hypotension, leukocytosis, thrombocytopenia, hyponatremia, elevated bilirubin, alanine aminotransfera...

A system combining electron spin resonance imaging (ESRI) with another imaging modality capable of enabling visualization of the distribution of bioradicals on an anatomical map of the specimens would be a superior biomedical imaging system. We describe the development of an ESR/MR dual-imaging system with one permanent magnet and the biomedical applications of this system. The magnetic circuit...

Resistin is a secretory adipokine with proinflammatory properties in humans [1]. It has emerged during this decade as a promising inflammatory marker in various diseases [2]. This study aimed to investigate the role of serum resistin as a marker of disease activity in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and its correlation with clinical, endoscopic, histological and inflammatory parameters of IBD....
