Although some information is available regarding immune activation in familial Mediterranean fever (FMF), little known about either peripheral blood T cell marker expression or the proliferative response to phytohaemagglutinin (PHA). In present study, we aimed investigate percentages of lymphocyte subsets, cellular markers (CD25, CD69, HLA-DR), PHA and serum levels soluble interleukin-2 receptor (sIL-2R) interleukin (IL)-10 patients with FMF. Forty FMF were enrolled into study. Control...

Aim. There are no studies that examine the circulating acylation-stimulating protein (ASP) levels in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). The present study was designed to determine ASP PCOS and evaluate effect of metformin on plasma fasting concentrations.Methods. Twenty women 20 healthy controls matched for age body mass index (BMI) were included study. We determined other biochemical parameters before after treatment.Results. Baseline ASP, complement 3 (C3), waist-to-hip ratio...

Among the most readily available chemical warfare agents, sulfur mustard (SM), also known as gas, has been widely used weapon. SM causes debilitating effects that can leave an exposed individual incapacitated for days to months; therefore delayed toxicity is of much greater importance than its ability cause lethality. Although not fully understood, acute related reactive oxygen and nitrogen species, oxidative stress, DNA damage, poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) activation energy depletion...

Disaster is defined as the holistic state of natural or human-induced events that develop suddenly, whose controllability requires a systematic approach, which interrupts stops social life and causes loss life, property often cannot be overcome with local capacity. Biological disasters can well naturally infectious diseases epidemiological emergencies. Considering potential 21st century, biological have played role in influenza infections such Swine Flu (H1N1), Bird Influenza (H5N1),...

Chemical warfare agents are toxic weapons and emergency prehospital medical care providers should be well prepared, trained, equipped to give response. Personnel need aware of the following issues regarding management a chemical attack, event recognition, incident command control, safety protection, decontamination, isolation area (hot zone, warm cold zone), sampling detection, psychological management, communication, triage, treatment, transportation, recovery activities fatality...

A gas chromatographic-mass spectrometric method was developed, validated and demonstrated by measuring the levels of nitrogen mustard hydrolysis products in urine collected from dosed rats. The recovery values for trimethylsilyl derivatives EDEA MDEA are between 82-95% 88-112%, respectively. In vivo studies performed using three different doses (0.5 mg/kg, 1.0 2.0 mg/kg) HN2 base mustard. concentrations were 43.1-232.2 ng/mL. limit detection (S/N = 3) 2.5 ng/mL 1.6 MDEA, respectively,...

Background: Sulfur mustard (SM) is a vesicant chemical warfare agent. Ocular, dermal, and respiratory systems are the primary targets of SM exposure. The aims this study were to perform quantitative analysis β-lyase metabolites as 1,1'-sulfonylbis[2-(methylthio) ethane] (SBMTE) in urine samples casualties investigate relationship between measured SBMTE levels severity characteristic symptoms poisoning.Methods: A bioanalytical method which based on titanium (III) chloride reduction was...

Because of spore formation, Bacillus anthracis is considered the most resistant biological warfare agent known. The present study aimed to assess and compare well-known decontamination routes inactivate spores on daily-use environmental tools contaminated previously. To simulate agent, atrophaeus was used. Various samples (such as tile, fabric clothing, wood, protective suit, glass, paper, soil, water, plastic, metal) that may be after a incident were used test carriers inoculated with B....

Mustard, a vesicant warfare agent, has cytotoxic, mutagenic, and cytostatic effects via alkylation of DNA inhibition replication. Since symptoms appear following latent period, it can cause some subacute chronic to occur delay in the treatment. Therefore, main approach should be use protective preparation reduce skin toxicity. Thus, this study was conducted guinea pigs (350-400 g) shaved areas 10 x cm. Mechlorethamine HCl (100 mg), nitrogen mustard derivative, ethanol applied by spraying on...
