cow’s milk allergy is one of the most common food allergies in childhood. beta- lactoglobulin (β-  lg) is  a dominant  allergen in  cow’s milk. hydrolysis is  known as  an effective method to reduce the allergenicity of proteins. thus, the objective of this study was to compare the allergenicity of β-lg and its hydrolysates using an animal model. twenty four balb/c mice were divided into three ...

BACKGROUND A special regulatory role for prostaglandin E2 has been postulated in aspirin-induced asthma. A study was undertaken to investigate the effects of aspirin on the systemic production of prostaglandin E2 and cysteinyl leucotrienes in patients with asthma. METHODS The urinary concentrations were determined of two main prostaglandin E2 metabolites (13,14-dihydro-15keto-PGE2 using a com...

Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) and asthma frequently coexist and are always present in patients with aspirin exacerbated respiratory disease (AERD). Although the pathogenic mechanisms of this condition are still unknown, AERD may be due, at least in part, to an imbalance in eicosanoid metabolism (increased production of cysteinyl leukotrienes (CysLTs) and reduced biosynthesis...

Renal artery stenosis (RAS) is the most common cause of secondary hypertension. Preliminary data indicate that aspirin renography with hippurate may be more sensitive for detection RAS. In this study 20 patients with known or suspected RAS underwent aspirin renography (20 mg/kg orally 1 hour before injection of radiotracer) and captopril renography (50 mg orally) with 99mTc-DTPA. Renal an...

purpose: to compare the effect of tissue plasminogen activator (tpa) and aspirin in patients with central retinal vein occlusion. methods: a prospective interventional study was conducted on patients with central retinal vein occlusion of less than 28 days' duration. patients in the tpa group received 100 μg intravitreal tissue plasminogen activator and the patients who declined intravitre...

background:   objective: to determine and compare uteroplacental circulation and obstetrics complications in pregnant women with pcos treated with metformin, aspirin and control group.   materials and methods: 105 pregnant women with pcos were enrolled in this study after assessing uterine artery pulsatility index (pi) with doppler ultrasonography at 12 weeks of gestation. the patients were div...

backgrounds and aims: methylglyoxal (mgo) is an –α, β dicarbonyl aldehyde inevitably produced from triose-phosphate intermediates of glycolysis, and amino acid. increased mgo in blood leads to alterations in coagulation, clot permeability and thus, atherosclerosis in children with diabetes; however, the precise mechanism is not clear. the present study aimed to compare different concentrations ...

the present study was carried out to determine whether helicobacter spp. infection in dogs could affect lesions caused by the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (nsaids), aspirin and celecoxib. thirty asymptomatic mixed-breed dogs were used for this study. gastric biopsies were taken via gastroscopy and evaluated by polymerase chain reaction (pcr) and rapid urease tests (rut). helicobacter s...

Background: Preeclampsia is one of the most common causes of maternal mortality. This complication has been attempted to prevent preeclampsia. Many drug treatments have also been tested, including aspirin, one of the drugs prescribed to prevent preeclampsia. Therefore, the present study was designed to summarize the findings and co...

Introduction: Nowadays, several casein components such as casein phosphopeptide amorphous calcium phosphate (CPP-ACP) are vastly considered as a suitable replacement for fluoride component . The aim of this study was to compare the effect of CPP-ACP paste and fluoride varnish on dentin hypersensitivity reduction. Materials & Methods: In this clinical trial study, thirty adult patients betwee...
