Effects of Tunicamycin and N-acetylcysteine on Expression Autophagy Markers Cell Viability in MDA-MB-231 Breast Cancer Cells

BACKGROUND The best pharmaceutical prevention of contrast-medium-induced nephropathy for emergency procedures remains unknown. The aim of this study was to examine the impact of short-duration antioxidant pretreatment on contrast-medium-induced cytotoxicity. METHODS Human embryonic kidney cells were treated with three different contrast media: ionic ioxitalamate, non-ionic low-osmolar iopromi...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of ciprofloxacin (CIP), N-acetylcysteine (NAC) alone and in combination on biofilm production and pre-formed mature biofilms on ureteral stent surfaces. Two strains each of Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Escherichia coli, Klebseilla pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Proteus vulgaris, recently isolated from patients underg...

background: acetaminophen (n-acetyl-p aminophenol; apap) is one of the most common types of analgesics. it is also the most common xneobitic reported to poison centers. this study investigates if therapeutic doses of nac can falsely increase coagulation tests, prothrombin time (pt) and bleeding time (bt). ​​ methods: thirty-six apap poisoned patients whose acetaminophen serum concentration were...

The intra-plantar injection of carrageenan elicited an inflammatory response characterized by increase of the paw thickness and infiltration of neutrophils in paw tissues. Histidine, n-acetylcysteine and diclofenac decreased paw thickness, and neutrophil infiltration in the paw tissues. The anti-inflammatory effect induced by co-administration of histidine and n-acetylcysteine with diclofenac, ...
