Betamethasone (BM) receptor cncentrations in the liver cytosol from adrenalectomized rats treated with 0. 2 and 2 mg BM were measured and correlated with BM concentrations in the serum and liver. The BM levels in the serum, liver cytosol and nuclei changed in a parallel fashion. One hr after BM administration, serum BM reached a peak, then decreased gradually and was undetectable at 24-48 hr. T...

silica refractory bricks are used especially in the metallurgical industries, due to desirable properties suchas high melting point, rigidity, and high temperatures strength. in this research, different amount of sicwere added to silica refractory containing different binders such as borax, boric acid, calcium nitride,sodium tri poly phosphate, sodium hexa meta phosphate (shmp) and lime. physic...

BACKGROUND Oral sodium phosphate is currently used for colon preparation prior to colonoscopy or barium enema. Sodium phosphate induces hyperphosphatemia, hypocalcemia, and hypokalemia. Elderly patients are at an increased risk for phosphate intoxication due to decreased glomerular filtration rate, medication use, and systemic and gastrointestinal diseases. We investigated these electrolyte dis...

1. The effect of chemical agents on the turnover of the Na(+)-dependent bound phosphate and the simultaneous Na(+)-dependent hydrolysis of ATP by a membrane preparation from ox brain was studied at an ATP/protein ratio of 12.5pmol/mug. 2. The agents were added immediately after phosphorylation of the preparation in a medium containing 50mm-sodium chloride and 2.5mum-[gamma-(32)P]ATP. 3. Concent...

OBJECTIVE Inadequate postoperative pain relief after cesarean section can increase complications. In this study, we evaluated the effect of intrathecal betamethasone as an adjunct to bupivacaine on postoperative pain in patients undergoing cesarean section. METHODOLOGY Ninety-nine patients undergoing cesarean section were assigned to one of three groups. Group 1 (Control) patients received in...

OBJECTIVES To assess the incidence of infusion reactions in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) receiving infliximab treatment with and without betamethasone premedication. To determine whether patients with an atopic diathesis had a better response to corticosteroid pretreatment than those without, and the course of patients' functional capacity and quality of life. PATIENTS AND METHODS ...

INTRODUCTION Postoperative sore throat is a common complaint in patients with endotracheal intubation and has potentially dangerous complications. This randomized controlled trial study investigated the incidence of postoperative sore throat after general anesthesia when betamethasone gel is applied to a tracheal tube compared with when IV dexamethasone is prescribed. MATERIALS AND METHODS Tw...

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to determine the effects of amniotic membrane impregnated with betamethasone on regeneration of transected sciatic nerve injury in adult albino Wister rats. METHODS In this research, 42 male adult rats were divided into six equal groups. 1) Normal (intact) group: healthy rats without any injury; 2) CONTROL GROUP: sciatic nerve was cut and sutured; 3) Sham ...

A Study was made on the interaction between histon H1 and sodium n-dodecyl sulphate (SDS) in the presence of sodium arsenate inside a phosphate buffer of pH 6.4, using spectroscopy and equilibrium dialysis at 27 °C. The binding data has been used to obtain the gibbs free energy in terms of a theoretical model based on the Wyman binding potential. The binding data hs been analysed...

Dear editor: Colonoscopy is critically dependent on adequate pre-procedural bowel cleansing and oral sodium phosphate bowel purgatives (OSP) have been used with good acceptance and efficacy for this purpose. Among others metabolic and clinical disturbances described after the procedure, acute kidney injury may be a serious complication. We present two cases of sodium phosphate induced acute ren...
