Background: Administration of albumin for burn patients and its effects on mortality and morbidity has been debated for along time. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of albumin administration on wound healing, length of hospital stay, weight change, and mortality of burn patients. Methods: Two matched groups of patients from Shiraz Burn Care Center were randomly selected. The pa...

the role of oxygen free radicals in the initiation, promotion and progression of carcinogenesis and the protective role of anti-oxidant defenses has been the subject of much speculation in the recent past with conflicting reports in the literature. in recent years, increasing experimental and clinical data have provided compelling evidence for the involvement of oxidative stress in a large numb...

sodium salt of n-acetyl-dl-tryptophan (at) and octanoic acid (caprylic acid ca) individually and in combination were studied as thermal stabilizer with different concentrations in heat treatment of human albumin solution. hplc protein profiles before pasteurization of albumin showed less than 1% polymer. in free stabilizer albumin solution during pasteurization visible clot was formed. but by u...

The interaction of bovine serum albumin ( BSA) and egg albumin with water solublephthalocyanine, cobalt (ΙΙ) 4, 4′ , 4′′, 4′′′- tetrasulfophthalocyanine ( CoTSPc) , has been studiedby the UV- Vis method at pH 7.0 and five different temperatures 20, 25, 30, 35 and 40°C. Theformation constants have been elucidated by using spectrophotometric titration and computerSQUAD program data refinement. Th...
