Intravenous phenytoin, available for use since 1956, has several well known adverse effects, such as hypotension, arrhythmias and toxicity. Purple glove syndrome is a less common complication that can have serious consequences. Fasciotomies, amputations and permanent disuse of the hand and forearm
OBJECTIVE
The present study was designed to investigate the effect of a single purple grape juice administration on cyclosporin A (CyA) oral bioavailability in healthy volunteers.
METHODS
The study followed a two-period crossover design, where the volunteers were randomly assigned to receive 200-mg
Purple spot disease of asparagus, caused by the fungus Stemphylium vesicarium, results in lesions on spears and ferns and defoliation of ferns. In two newly established commercial asparagus fields (cvs. Jersey Giant and Jersey Knight), chlorothalonil or mancozeb was applied every 7, 10, or 14 days
Transgenic studies in animals have demonstrated a direct association between the level of expression of purple acid phosphatase (PAP; also known as tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase) and the progression of osteoporosis. Consequently, PAP has emerged as a promising target for the development of
Purple coloured tea shoot clones have gained interest due to high content of anthocyanins in addition to catechins. Transcript expression of genes encoding anthocyanidin reductase (ANR), dihydroflavonol-4-reductase (DFR), anthocyanidin synthase (ANS), flavonol synthase (FLS) and leucoantho cyanidin
Though the impact of phenytoin on warfarin has been reported to potentiate the anticoagulant effect or interact in a biphasic manner, the effect of phenytoin on warfarin appears to be unpredictable and dependent upon multiple factors. Additionally, purple glove syndrome has rarely been reported
Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is one of the major diabetic complications and the leading cause of end-stage renal disease. Abnormal angiogenesis results in new vessels that are often immature and play a pathological role in DN, contributing to renal fibrosis and disrupting glomerular failure. Purple
Effects of anthocyanins from purple sweet potato (APSP) against the fungal growth of Geotrichum candidum and Candida albicans were assessed. Response surface methodology was applied for optimization of proportions of sodium benzoate, potassium sorbate, and APSP. Optimum concentrations against G.
As high telomerase activity is detected in most cancer cells, telomerase represents a promising cancer therapeutic target. We investigated the inhibitory effect of sulfoquinovosyldiacylglycerol (SQDG), distributed in plants and seaweeds, on human telomerase in a cell-free system. SQDG inhibited
Τhe morphology, physiology and immunology, of solid tumors exhibit spatial heterogeneity which complicates our understanding of cancer progression and therapy response. Understanding spatial heterogeneity necessitates high resolution in vivo imaging of anatomical and pathophysiological tumor
Purple glove syndrome is a rare and poorly understood complication of phenytoin use, occurring almost always with its intravenous formulation. This syndrome comprises of pain, purple discoloration, and edema distal to the site of intravenous administration of phenytoin. We hereby report an unusual
Purple acid phosphatases are metalloenzymes found in animals, plants and fungi. They possess a binuclear metal centre to catalyse the hydrolysis of phosphate esters and anhydrides under acidic conditions. In humans, elevated purple acid phosphatases levels in sera are correlated with the progression
CONCLUSIONS
Our findings demonstrated that purple bamboo salt (PBS)-pharmaceutical acupuncture has an ameliorative effect on cisplatin-induced ototoxicity.
OBJECTIVE
We have previously reported that PBS exhibited anti-allergic and anti-inflammatory actions in vitro and in vivo. Pharmaceutical
OBJECTIVE
Diabetic glomerulosclerosis is the hardening of the renal glomeruli that can lead to kidney failure. In the early stage of glomerulosclerosis occur renal mesangial expansion and renal filtration dysfunction. Purple corn has been classified as a functional food and is rich in anthocyanins
