introduction: the purpose of this study was to compare the inhibitory effect of bovine serum albumin (bsa) and hydroxyapatite (ha) on the antibacterial activity of white-colored mta (wmta) against staphylococcus (s.) aureus and streptococcus (s.) mutans after 24 and 72 hours . materials & methods: all materials were prepared according to the manufacturer’s directions immediately before testing....

this study was performed to assess the incidence of medication errors and irrational use of human albumin in two wards of our hospital and also aimed to evaluate the ability of pharmaceutical care center and pharmacists in improving patient care. albumin administration was evaluated for patients who received albumin during the study period, in gastroenterology and general surgery wards. the ind...

background: there are varieties of purification techniques for separation of human plasma proteins such as salting out, ion exchange chromatography, and ethanol fractionation. there are limitations for each method, for example in salting out method, the salt has to be removed in an additional step. ion exchange chromatography is difficult for scaling up, and plasma fractionation is a time consu...

Background: Hepatitis B (HB) vaccination is a recommended procedure in all dialysis patients, but its efficacy has not been perfect. In the current study, we aimed to conduct a comprehensive review of the literature to find and pool data of the randomized trials evaluating the impact of serum albumin levels on the immunogenicity of HB vaccination in dialysis patients.

To investigate the interaction and adsorption of drug and carbon nanotube on human serum albumin, three anti-cancer drugs ([Pd(phen)(R-gly)]NO3, R = methyl, propyl and amyl) with different hydrophobic tails and anticancer activities were selected. These drugs have better anti-tumor activity and less side effects than that known cis-platinum drug. Human serum albumin is also ...
