The present study evaluated the effects of topical administration KEM CON ONG and TRI BONG creams on doxorubicin-induced skin ulcer, their systemic toxicity in ulcerated rats. lesions were induced by a single intradermal injection 0.2ml doxorubicin 1 mg/0.5ml dorsal region. areas covered topically with dimethyl sulfoxide, ONG, or twice day for 28 days. results indicated that significantly reduc...

materials and methods the expression of gp73 was investigated in 88 cancerous and self-control non-cancerous tissues using tissue microarrays with immunohisto- chemistry and was confirmed by western blotting. circulating gp73 levels were detected in the sera of 281 patients with liver diseases using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. results the levels of circulating gp73 expression in the hcc ...

The paper presents a clinical case of hepatocellular carcinoma complicated by rupture. underlying disease was asymptomatic prior to the development complications. Despite blood loss about 30-35% circulating volume, hemorrhagic shock dominated picture acute condition. Neoplasm left hepatic lobe with necrosis and rupture diagnosed means videolaparoscopy. Final hemostasis impossible without liver ...

in this study, cadmium (cd) accumulation was studied in an experimental aquatic exposure. mosquitofish (gambusia affinis) were acutely exposed for 96 h to a high concentration of cd (12 mg/l) and were chronically exposed to a low concentration of cd(0.4 mg/l) for 30 days. cd accumulation profiles differed between the two cd exposures. the cd concentation in g. affinis tissues increased linearly...

The purpose of this paper is to report the noninvasive imaging of hepatic tumors without contrast agents. Both normal tissues and tumor tissues can be detected, and tumor tissues in different stages can be classified quantitatively. We implanted BEL-7402 human hepatocellular carcinoma cells into the livers of nude mice and then imaged the livers using X-ray in-line phase-contrast imaging (ILPCI...

Background and Objectives: Curcumin and exercise training are suggested to improve hepatic disorders. The aim of this study was to investigate effects of two weeks of swimming training and curcumin supplementation on platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF-BB) and transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF-β1) gene expressions following ethanol consumption in Wistar male rats. Materials and Methods: ...

OBJECTIVE Thyroid hormones regulate energy metabolism and act on the mitochondria, which is an important source of free radicals in the cell. Reactive oxygen types play a significant role in physiological mechanisms, but in excessive amounts they can cause oxidative damage in molecules. The aim of the present study was to determine levels of lipid peroxidation caused by induced hyperthyroidism ...

UNLABELLED PET with [methyl-(11)C]-choline (11C-choline) can be useful for detecting well-differentiated hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) that is not 18F-FDG-avid. This study was designed to examine the relationship between choline metabolism and choline tracer uptake in HCC for PET with 11C-choline. METHODS Dynamic PET scans of 11C-choline were acquired using the woodchuck models of HCC. After...
