BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to detect the Glutathione S-Transferase(GST) enzyme activity of healthy / cystic liver as a diagnostic biomarker for hydatidosis. In order to compare with liver tissue, the level of the GSTs enzyme activity of parasite was also determined. METHODS Parasites were collected from sheep liver tissue with hydatid cysts at a local abattoir and washed with PBS bu...

Recent evidence suggests that the angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) is present in skin. The real value of the determination of ACE activity as a clinical-biochemistry test for the diagnosis of psoriasis has not been attained. Serum and tissue ACE were measured in 60 patients with psoriasis, 20 patients with lichen planus, 20 patients with seborrhoic dermatitis and in 20 healthy individuals. T...

Obesity is a non-infectious pandemic. The visceral distribution of adipose tissue significant factor in the development cardiovascular diseases and their complications. Along with abdominal depot omentum subcutaneous tissue, there are other ectopic depots: epicardial (EAT), perivascular (PVAT) perirenal tissue. This article presents review physiological role molecular basis PVAT EAT function he...

Laser ablation is gaining acceptance as a cancer treatment technique because of its localized energy delivery to the tumorous tissue. The combination laser with nanoparticles allows for more precise targeting ablative area less damage adjacent healthy Nevertheless, heat tissue still potential concern. Therefore, mathematical modeling laser-tissue interactions necessary part clinical planning. I...

This work is motivated by a quantitative Magnetic Resonance Imaging study of the differential tumor/healthy tissue change in contrast uptake induced by radiation. The goal is to determine the time in which there is maximal contrast uptake (a surrogate for permeability) in the tumor relative to healthy tissue. A notable feature of the data is its spatial heterogeneity. Zhang, Johnson, Little, an...

background: one of the adipokines mostly secreted from adipose tissue is adiponectin. adiponectin is well known as the antidiabetic,anti-obesity and cardio-protective factor. present study focused on the review the previous studies about relationship between adherence to healthy dietary pattern, independent of one or two special dietary components, and concentration of adiponectin. materials an...

OBJECTIVES Ertapenem pharmacokinetics were determined in the interstitium of healthy tissue and of infected tissue of patients suffering from diabetic foot infections, to evaluate if antibiotic concentrations at the target site are sufficient to achieve bacterial killing. PATIENTS AND METHODS Nine patients with diabetic foot infections received 1 g of ertapenem per day intravenously. At stead...
