In the present study we have determined if renal damage occurs with adjuvant arthritis (AA). As a sensitive indicator of renal injury in tubular cells, urinary N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidase (NAG) was measured at predetermined times after arthritis induction. Urinary protein, sodium and potassium
The optimal conditions for histochemical demonstration of NAG activity in the cerebrum, diencephalon, midbrain, cerebellum, medulla oblangata, and spinal cord were studied in a series of 37 Wistar rats of either sex. The following more important results were obtained: Each CNS zone required a
To explain the mechanism of renal injury caused by liver ischemia-reperfusion, we investigated biochemical and morphological changes in the liver and kidney in rats. After reperfusion following 60 min of liver ischemia, numerous changes were found. The level of serum transaminases and lipid peroxide
OBJECTIVE
The renal impairment in children with methylmalonic aciduria has seldom been reported. To improve knowledge in this aspect, clinical data of five cases with methylmalonic aciduria with renal involvement were analyzed and the results are reported in this paper, which may be of some help in
We report a 17-year-old male patient with tubulointerstitial nephritis and uveitis (TINU) associated with hyperthyroidism. He presented with a 2-month history of fatigue, loss of appetite, low-grade fever, and a 12-kg weight loss when he was admitted to our hospital. He had iritis, which was
OBJECTIVE
To analyze the characteristics of TCM syndrome distribution and its correlation with urinary protein in patients with early chronic kidney diseases (CKD), for the sake of providing a basis for clarifying the rules of TCM syndrome differentiation in CKD.
METHODS
Adopting traditional
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the anti-inflammatory effects and mechanism of recombinant human superoxide dismutase (rhSOD).
METHODS
Inflammation models such as croton oil-induced ear swelling and carrageenan-induced hind paw edema in mice and rats were prepared. The nitric oxide synthase (NOS ) activity
We measured the activity of urinary lipase by high sensitive photometric method using 1,2-dirinoleoilglycerol as a substrate. Also, we investigated the clinical significance of the activity of urinary lipase in patients with chronic glomerulonephritis (GN) with special reference to the relation
BACKGROUND
The aim of the study was to examine the role of endothelin in radiocontrast-induced nephropathy (RCN) in patients with chronic renal failure.
METHODS
We measured plasma endothelin-1 (ET) and the urinary excretion of endothelin-like immunoreactivity before and after infusion of radio
Metallothionein (MT) is a low-molecular-weight, cysteine-rich, metal-binding protein. Induction of MT has been proposed to be an important adaptive mechanism in decreasing Cd toxicity. MT has been shown to protect against CdCl2-induced lethality and hepatotoxicity; however, MT does not protect
Vernonia polyanthes Less. (Asteraceae), popularly known as "assa-peixe", is a plant species used in Brazilian traditional medicine for the treatment of cutaneous damage, cicatrization, inflammation, and rheumatism. Based on these ethnopharmacological findings, the current study evaluated the topical
B6.A.D. (Ahr(d)/Nat(s)) mice were utilized to investigate the short-term pulmonary response to JP-8 jet fuel (JP-8) aerosol inhalation. Mice were nose-only exposed to atmospheres of 0 to 118 mg/m3 for 1 h/d over a period of 7 days to further test the hypothesis that JP-8 concentrations below the
OBJECTIVE
To find some urinary biomarkers for differential diagnosis in drug-induced tubulointerstitial nephritis (DTIN) by accessing the relationship between their changes and the pathological processes of DTIN.
METHODS
Forty patients biopsy-proven DTIN and 24 healthy controls were enrolled in this
BACKGROUND
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a technique that uses light and a photosensitizer, converting local molecular oxygen into singlet oxygen, which eliminates a target unhealthy tissue. It has been increasingly used for the treatment of several diseases including skin disorders. Psoriasis is a
Effects of extracorporeal shock waves on renal tissue, renal function, and blood pressure were studied by applying 500 shock waves to both kidneys in 72 female Wistar rats. Six groups, 12 rats in each, were sacrificed on days, 1, 7 and at months 1, 3, 6 and 12 after the procedure, when serum levels
