Mortality rate among patients with AS is 2 times higher the population level. It is caused by cardiovascular disease. Now it is clear that the presence of chronic systemic inflammation is an important predictor of cardiovascular (CV) disease due to the development of endothelial dysfunction (ED).The aim of the study – to evaluate the efficacy of correction of ED in patients with AS and arterial hypertension with the use of quinapril and L-arginine aspartate.Materials and Methods. A total of 110 patients with AS were examined with evaluation endothelium-depended vasodilation (EDVD) in response to reactive hyperemia, were chosen patients with EDVD <10 % (n=79), and were divided into 4 groups. Group I included 17 people who received standard therapy. Patients from the group II (n=20) received intravenous infusion of the solution of L-Arginine. Group III included patients with concomitant hypertension and they received quinapril (n=19). Group IV (n=23) consist of patients with hypertension, but their treatment was combination of L-arginine with quinapril.Results and Discussion. It was found that in the group II there was a significant improvement in the endothelium’s function (EDVD (23.2±2.4) % (p=0.0023), and its normalization were in 7 patients. In patients of the third group, who received only quinapril were not found normalization of EDVD in any of the patients. In last group (IV) 7 patients showed normalization of the endothelium, 10 improvements compared with baseline levels, and 6 no changes were observed.Conclusions. L-arginine in the complex therapy of patients with AC can significantly reduce the manifestations of ED in patients without concomitant hypertension. Combined use of quinapril in combination with L-arginine demonstrated improvement of endothelial function and control of blood pressure in patients with hypertension.

The present study was aimed at evaluating the clinicopathological changes due to oral administration of ethanol leaf extract of Trema orientalis (ELETO) in Jamnapari crossbred goats. The clinical manifestations, gross and histopathological changes in the major vital organs were used as indices of the toxicity. The severity of gross and microscopic changes were evaluated by scoring technique. Twenty goats weighing between 15-20kg were divided into four groups with five goats in each group in a completely randomized design. The test groups I, II, III were administered ELETO at the dosages of 0.5, 1.0 and 2.0g/kg b.wt per os/day respectively, for 14 days while, group IV served as a control. Groups II and III showed decreased appetite whereas, group III showed bilateral congestion of ocular mucous membrane, lacrimation, rectal tenesmus and a significant decrease in body weight compared to control. The main gross and microscopic changes were mild to moderate and included; engorgement of the gall bladder, congestion and icteric liver, hepatocellular degeneration, vacuolation, necrosis and renal congestion observed mainly in group III goats. The results indicate that the ELETO was hepatotoxic and nephrotoxic at continued oral doses equal to or more than 2.0g/kg b.wt in goats but no significant toxicity when used at lowers doses. Therefore, special caution should be taken when keeping goats in areas with T. orientalis. Keywords: Ethanol extract, Trema orientalis, Clinicopathological changes, Goatsv

Background.Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is the leading cause of blindness in the world. Retinopathy can still progress despite optimal metabolic control. The aim of the study was to determine whether different degrees of DR (proliferative or nonproliferative) were associated with abnormally modulated hemostatic parameters in patients with T1DM.Method.52 T1DM patients and 40 healthy controls were enrolled in the study. Patients were subdivided into three categories. Group I was defined as those without retinopathy, group II with NPRP, and group III with PRP. We compared these subgroups with each other and the control group (Group IV) according to the serum fibrinogen, plasminogen, alpha2-anti-plasmin (α2-anti-plasmin), and PAI.Results. We detected that PAI-1, serum fibrinogen, and plasminogen levels were similar between the diabetic and control groups (P=0.209,P=0.224, andP=0.244, resp.), whereasα2-anti-plasmin was higher in Groups I, II, and III compared to the control group (P<0.01,P<0.05, andP<0.001, resp.). There was a positive correlation between serumα2-anti-plasmin and HbA1c levels (r=0,268,P=0.031).Conclusion. To our knowledge there is scarce data in the literature aboutα2-anti-plasmin levels in type 1 diabetes. A positive correlation betweenα2-anti-plasmin with HbA1c suggests that fibrinolytic markers may improve with disease regulation and better glycemic control.

Introduction: Protection of liver from the aggressive force of various environmental and chemical agents is very important for the overall health of an individual. So, the present study aimed to evaluate the protection efficiency of crude extracts of red radish seeds and roots against paracetamol mediated hepatotoxicity in rats. Methods: Twenty-four male Wistar rats were divided into four groups. Group I was served as normal rats, Group II received orally single dose of 2 g paracetamol/kg body weight on the 22nd day, Group III and Group IV were administered orally with 300 mg/kg/d crude ethanol extract of either seeds or roots of red radish for 21 days, then received paracetamol on 22nd day. After 48 hours of paracetamol administration blood was withdrawn to determine the activities of aspartate transaminase (AST), alanine transaminase (ALT), alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and Gama-GT (γ-GT) as well as total and direct bilirubin. Also, liver tissues were separated to determine malondialdehyde (MDA) and nitric oxide (NO) as well as histological changes. Results: Pretreatment of rats with crude ethanol extract of either seeds or roots of red radish significantly (P ≤ 0.05) suppressed the elevations in serum activities of ALT, AST, ALP, γ- GT, total and direct bilirubin as well as liver MDA and NO levels. The results of histopathologic examinations were consistent with the biochemical results. Conclusion: Seeds and roots of red radish have a protection efficiency against paracetamol mediated oxidative damage and hepatotoxicity in rats.
