Objective
Diabetes mellitus is a group of metabolic diseases characterized by chronic hyperglycemia condition resulting from defective insulin secretion or resistance insulin action, or both. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of 6 weeks swimming training and Trigonella foenum-graecum seed (fenugreek) extract, alone and in combination, on plasma glucose and cardiac antioxidant enzyme activity of streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats.Methods
Fifty male Wistar rats were divided into five groups: diabetic control (DC, n = 8); healthy control (HC, n = 11); swimming training (S, n = 11); swimming training + fenugreek seed extract (1.74 g/kg body weight; SF1, n = 11); and swimming training + fenugreek seed extract (0.87 g/kg body weight; SF2, n = 9). Streptozotocin was used for the induction of diabetes. Results were analyzed using one-way analysis of variance followed by Tukey test.Results
In comparison with the DC group, all groups exhibited a significant decrease in body weight (p < 0.05), except for the HC group. SF1 and HC groups showed significant decreases in plasma glucose levels compared with the DC group (p < 0.05). S, SF1, SF2, and HC groups showed significant elevations in cardiac antioxidant enzymes activity in comparison with the DC group.Conclusion
The results indicated that the combination of endurance swimming training and fenugreek seed extract can significantly reduce the plasma glucose levels and increase cardiac antioxidant enzymes activity in diabetic rats. Our findings suggest that this combination could be useful for the treatment of hyperglycemia and cardiac oxidative stress induced by diabetes mellitus. 相似文献2.

PURPOSE: We report the evolution of endoscopic treatment of ectopic ureteroceles from the unroofing technique to a novel approach using concomitant ureterocele double puncture and intraureterocele fulguration. We also compare the results of different endoscopic modalities at a single center. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We reviewed the records of 46 children with ectopic ureteroceles who were treated endoscopically between 1995 and 2005. The patients were divided into 2 main groups. Group 1 included 17 patients who underwent common endoscopic treatments, including ureterocele incision (4 patients), single ureterocele puncture (4), and single puncture with insertion of a Double-J stent (9). Group 2 included 29 children who underwent ureterocele double puncture and fulguration of the anterior and posterior walls of the collapsed ureterocele after insertion of a Double-J stent into both punctured sites. We also managed concomitant vesicoureteral reflux by endoscopic injection of tricalcium phosphate ceramic into the subureteral region. RESULTS: Total success rates in group 1 were 0%, 25% and 33% in patients who underwent ureterocele incision, single ureterocele puncture and single puncture with insertion of a stent, respectively. Total success rate in group 2 was 90% (p<0.05). New onset vesicoureteral reflux developed in 8 patients (47%) in group 1, of which 6 were in ureterocele moieties, and in 8 patients (28%) in group 2, with none in a ureterocele moiety (p<0.01). A total of 13 patients (76%) in group 1 required open surgical intervention, compared to 3 (10%) in group 2 (p<0.05). CONCLUSIONS: This new endoscopic approach is highly effective in the treatment of children with ectopic ureteroceles. 相似文献

Many techniques have been described for correcting ectropion, but when the ectropion follows skin cancer excision, only a technique that replaces missing skin should be used. The bipedicled Tripier flap tends to give some excess bulk at each end but gives an excellent correction of ectropion. The aim of this study was to apply musculocutaneous bipedicled Tripier flap from upper lid for correction of ectropion due to previous excision of lower-lid malignancies and evaluate its outcome. This was a prospective case-series study. In this study, 15 patients (6 women, 9 men), ranging from 35 to 72 years old (mean, 51 years) underwent operation with Tripier flap for reconstruction of ectropion because of basal cell carcinoma (BCC) resection. In patients with ectropion, Tripier flap with or without ear or nasal septal cartilage was used for reconstruction of deformities 3 months after lower-lid reconstruction with local flaps. All patients were satisfied, and ectropion was corrected in all cases. There were no complications such as dry eye or corneal abrasion after operation. Also, we had not any case of ischemic flap. We suggest that Tripier flap is one of the best methods for reconstruction of lower-lid retraction or ectropion. This is a desirable method, functionally and aesthetically. 相似文献

Dirofilariasis is a zoonotic global vector‐borne disease caused by Dirofilaria immitis. The present study focuses on the somatic and excretory/secretory (E/S) proteins released from adult D. immitis. We aimed to fractionate and identify adult D. immitis immunoreactive proteins. Somatic and E/S extracts were immunoblotted to identify the immunoreactive proteins. In the current study, we used matrix‐assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI‐TOF/MS) to characterize the immunogenic proteins. Additionally, we used fast protein liquid chromatography (FPLC) to fractionate and evaluate the immunogenicity of the D. immitis secretome. The most immunoreactive proteins were between 10 and 48 kDa. Six proteins including polyprotein antigen, P22u, pepsin inhibitor Dit33, neutrophil chemotactic factor (DiNCF) precursor, glyceraldehyde‐3‐phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) and heat‐shock protein 70 (HSP70) were found in both somatic and E/S extracts. Eluting the FPLC column with NaCl resolved two peaks in which the immunoreactivities of the purified proteins were conserved. Characterization of these proteins could provide a novel perspective for understanding the pathogenesis and diagnosing of this disease. 相似文献

At least 275 million scrap tires exist in stockpiles in the U.S. The practice of dumping scrap tires in landfills has been an environmental concern. To address this concern, many industries—and regional and national environmental protection agencies—have taken major initiatives to recycle scrap tires. One of the major uses of recycled scrap tires is in crumb rubber products, including rubberized asphalt. Rubberized asphalt is produced by blending ground tire rubber with asphalt to beneficially modify its properties for highway construction. The ground tire rubber (GTR) can be used either as part of the asphalt rubber binder (also known as asphalt rubber), seal coat, cap seal spray, joint and crack sealant or as substitute aggregate (rubber-modified asphalt concrete). Therefore, the largest single market for GTR is asphalt rubber, which consumes approximately 12 million tires, annually. Currently, several Departments of Transportation (DOTs) in the U.S. do not allow use of GTR in asphalt mixes. This is partly due to lack of information, laboratory test data and specifications or special provisions on the use of GTR in asphalt pavements. The current study was undertaken to summarize the available wealth of knowledge, identify research needs, and document the major findings of previous pertinent studies focused on GTR use in asphalt. Significant study findings—consisting of laboratory test results, field observations, and common practices—were documented, including: the use of GTR in asphalt mixes, wet and dry processes, characterization of hot mix asphalt (HMA) containing GTR and GTR performance when combined with virgin materials. In order to promote successful use of GTR, it is imperative to help DOTs develop specifications/special provisions for utilizing rubberized asphalt by collecting data, common practices and specifications utilized by other state DOTs. As a part of this effort, we conducted a survey of construction specifications used by different DOTs that currently allow the use of GTR in asphalt. Since some DOT practices are not readily available in the open literature, this survey proved to be an effective tool for gathering data on the current practices, methods and specifications associated with DOT use of GTR in asphalt pavement. 相似文献

Background
The Medicare program has initiated Comprehensive Care for Joint Replacement (CJR), a bundled payment mandate for lower extremity joint replacements. We sought to determine the degree to which hospitals will invest in care redesign in response to CJR, and to project its economic impacts.Methods
We defined 4 potential hospital management strategies to address CJR: no action, light care management, heavy care management, and heavy care management with contracting. For each of 798 hospitals included in CJR, we used hospital-specific volume, cost, and quality data to determine the hospital's economically dominant strategy. We aggregated data to assess the percentage of hospitals pursuing each strategy; savings to the health care system; and costs and percentages of CJR-derived revenues gained or lost for Medicare, hospitals, and postacute care facilities.Results
In the model, 83.1% of hospitals (range 55.0%-100.0%) were expected to take no action in response to CJR, and 16.1% of hospitals (range 0.0%-45.0%) were expected to pursue heavy care management with contracting. Overall, CJR is projected to reduce health care expenditures by 0.5% (range 0.0%-4.1%) or $14 million (range $0-$119 million). Medicare is expected to save 2.2% (range 2.2%-2.2%), hospitals are projected to lose 3.7% (range 4.7% loss to 3.8% gain), and postacute care facilities are expected to lose 6.5% (range 0.0%-12.8%). Hospital administrative costs are projected to increase by $63 million (range $0-$148 million).Conclusion
CJR is projected to have a negligible impact on total health care expenditures for lower extremity joint replacements. Further research will be required to assess the actual care management strategies adopted by CJR hospitals. 相似文献8.

Transition-metal catalyzed cross-dehydrogenative-coupling reactions encompass highly versatile and atom economical methods for the construction of various carbon–carbon and carbon–heteroatom bonds by combining two C(X)–H (X = heteroatom) bonds. Along this line, direct acyloxylation of C–H bonds with carboxylic acids has emerged as a powerful and green approach for the synthesis of structurally diverse esters. In this focus-review we will describe recent progress in direct esterification of aromatic C–H bonds with special emphasis on the mechanistic features of the reactions. Literature has been surveyed until the end of February 2019.Transition-metal catalyzed cross-dehydrogenative-coupling encompass atom economical methods for the construction of various carbon–carbon and carbon–heteroatom bonds by combining two C(X)–H (X = heteroatom) bonds. 相似文献

After about 2 years since severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS‑CoV‑2), first infections were detected in Wuhan city of China in December 2019, which was followed by a worldwide pandemic with a record of 5.41 million deaths. Due to urgent need for the development of a safe and effective vaccine for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19), attempts for producing efficient vaccines are inexhaustibly continuing. According to a report by the World Health Organization (WHO) on COVID‐19 vaccine tracker and landscape, there are 149 vaccine candidates all over the world. Inactivated SARS‐CoV‐2 vaccines as a conventional vaccine platform consist of whole virus particles grown in cell culture and inactivated by chemicals. Because of benefits such as antigenic similarity to real virion inducing humoral and cellular immune responses and ease for transport and storage, these vaccines, including the vaccines produced by Bharat Biotech, Sinopharm, and Sinovac, are in use at large scales. In this study, we have a review on inactivated SARS‐CoV‐2 vaccines that are passing their phase 3 and 4 clinical trials, population which was included in the trials, vaccine producers, the efficiency, adverse effects, and components of vaccines, and other vaccine features. 相似文献
