results all patients experienced improvement in the wrinkles of the side treated by the combination therapy compared to the other side. in addition, less complication was observed in the side that underwent combination therapy. conclusions our study showed that autologous fat in combination with platelet gel might have better cosmetic results as well as lesser complications in the healing of na...

Worldwide serum-based eye drops are successfully used in the treatment of Dry Eye Syndrome (DES). Autologous serum (ASEDs) most common but allogenic were introduced many countries mostly because COVID-19 pandemic. Not all aspects product formula have however been worked out so far. Each medical entity involved preparation, packaging and distribution performs according to its own procedures. Var...

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to investigate the serum fibronectin (FN) levels and liver enzyme activities in patients with acute hepatitis (A, B, C) and chronic viral hepatitis (B, C); determine whether the virus types correlated with disease severity; and assess whether FN could be used as a marker of virus type or disease severity in patients. METHODS A total of 60 subjects were enr...

OBJECTIVE This study aimed to explore the relationship between different risk factors (especially serum alanine aminotransferase [ALT] and aspartate aminotransferase [AST]) and coronary heart disease (CHD). METHODS A total of 610 inpatients were recruited. Initial coronary angiography (CAG) was performed to evaluate the severity of coronary lesions. On the basis of findings from CAG, patients...

BACKGROUND A precise predictive survival model of liver transplantation (LT) with antiviral prophylaxis for hepatitis B virus (HBV)-associated hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and cirrhosis has not been established. The aim of our study was to identify predictors of outcome after LT in these patients based on tumor staging systems, antitumor therapy pre-LT, and antiviral prophylaxis in patients c...

In vitro supplementation with the active form of vitamin B6, pyridoxal-phosphate (PLP), increases measurements of both serum aminotransferase enzymes, L-aspartate: 2-oxoglutarate amino transferase, EC 2.6.1.1 (AST) and L-alanine: 2-oxoglutarate aminotransferase, EC 2.6.1.2 (ALT). The plasma PLP level in normal individuals clearly relates inversely to the degree of stimulation of serum AST and A...

BACKGROUND To determine the mechanism by which the flavonoid glycoside astragalin (AST) reduces ovarian failure in an aged rat model of menopause. METHODS The in vivo effect of AST on granulosa cell (GC) apoptosis in aged female rats was determined using flow cytometry. In vitro, the effects of AST on cultured GCs were investigated using the MTT proliferation assay and western blot assays. ...

Background: Ciprofloxacin increased the production of reactive oxygen species, As a result its intracellular accumulation, which leads to extracellular membrane damage, resulting in release apoptotic components into bloodstream, condition known as apoptosis.Objective: The goal this study is investigate protective effect pumpkin seeds oil (PSO), well-known natural antioxidant against Ciprofloxac...

OBJECTIVES The increase of serum aspartate aminotransferase (AST) is generally found in hepatic, cardiac, muscular disease and hemolytic disorders of the red blood cell (RBC). The elevation of its activity is suspected in pathological conditions of these organs. However, instances without any of those conditions rarely exist. METHODS The experimental samples were obtained from a normal person...

We determined the associations of HIV infection/CD4 count with markers of hepatocellular damage [elevated aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT)] and liver synthetic function (decreased albumin) in HIV-infected (HIV(+)) antiretroviral therapy (ART)-naive and uninfected (HIV(-)) Rwandan women. In 2005, 710 HIV(+) ART-naive and 226 HIV(-) women enrolled in the Rwanda ...
