isopropanol/necrosis

Previous studies indicate that pretreatment with acetone or isopropanol, fasting, and streptozotocin-induced diabetes enhance hepatic microsomal nitroso-dimethylamine (NDMA) demethylase in rats. This study demonstrates that these same treatments also potentiate the hepatotoxicity of NDMA as

Serum and plasma from horses injected with endotoxin was examined for cytotoxic activity. Each of the cell lines, L929 and WEHI 164 clone 13, was sensitive to the cytotoxic effects of equine serum; however, a precipitation artifact caused by the use of isopropanol in the WEHI assay limited the use

Isopropanol is the second most common cause of short-chain alcohol acute intoxication. Nonethanolic short-chain alcohols mediate their immunomodulatory effect by interfering with nuclear factor of activated T cells (NFAT) activation with or without additional activator protein-1 (AP-1) involvement.

Well diffracting crystals of recombinant mouse tumor necrosis factor (mTNF) have been obtained. The sitting-drop vapor-diffusion method was used to grow crystals suitable for X-ray studies from solutions containing methoxypolyethylene glycol 2000 and isopropanol as precipitants. The crystals belong

Pelargonium capitatum (rose pelargonium) is a plant indigenous to southern Africa, originally brought to Western Australia for its ornamental qualities. It has since become naturalized in the Southwest Australian Floristic Region, recognized for its high level of species endemism, where it is a

Operation for pancreonecrosis was carried out in 197 patients, in 52 (26.4%) of them the disease was of alcoholic etiology. The disease was marked by severe clinical manifestations with the development of respiratory, hemodynamic, and peritoneal syndromes and their complications, and by psychic

In the search for improving the performance of drug eluting stent (DES) various developments are in progress worldwide including use of carrier free DES, use of biodegradable polymers, biodegradable stents etc. In this work, carrier free-rapamycin (RM) coated DES has been prepared, and evaluated by

Methanol is an important cause of acute alcohol intoxication; it is ubiquitously present at home and in the workplace. Although the existing literature provides a reasonable insight into the immunological impact of ethanol and to a much lesser extent of isopropanol, much less data are available on

OBJECTIVE To evaluate in vivo and in vitro effects of cadmium ions on the activities of mice liver tRNA(Leu)and leucyl-tRNA synthetase and on the type of liver cells death. METHODS White laboratory mice were intoxicated by intraperitoneal injection of cadmium chloride solution (1.6 mg cadmium ions/1

The influence of Dipyridamole on acute hepatotoxicity has been studied in male SD-JCL rats doses with carbon tetrachloride. High single oral doses of Dipyridamole lowered the serum enzyme activity and reduced significantly the area % of hepatic necrosis and hydropic degeneration, but not of

The clinical, pathological and toxicological findings in a cat poisoned with Pinesol, a household cleaning agent, are reported. Clinically severe depression, with unresponsive pupils and extreme ataxia were observed prior to death. Pathologic changes consisted of severe acute centrilobular hepatic

During a period of 18 months three workers were admitted to hospital with jaundice that had developed two to four months after beginning work at a chemical plant. Liver biopsies showed severe centrilobular, haemorrhagic liver cell necrosis. The pathological changes resolved within six to 18 months.

Naphthalene is a ubiquitous environmental pollutant to which humans are exposed. Previous studies have demonstrated that naphthalene causes bronchiolar epithelial necrosis in the mouse distal airway, after parenteral administration. In this study, metabolic variations in the bronchoalveolar lavage

The culture conditions of human peripheral blood polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN) in the study of apoptosis induction were re-evaluated. The changes in the relative viable cell number of PMNs after tumor necrosis factor (TNF) treatment were colorimetrically investigated using a cell counting kit.

In 2010 and 2011, diseased watermelon plants (Citrillus lanatus [Thunb.] Matsun and Nakai) had chlorotic and wilted leaves and vines prior to harvest in three out of four sampled commercial fields in the Municipality of Matamoros, State of Coahuila, in the north-central region of Mexico known as La
