The aim of this study was to compare the anti-inflammatory response methylprednisolone and alpha2-agonist dexmedetomidine in spinal cord injury (SCI).Twenty-four male adult Wistar albino rats, weight 200-250 g, were included study. rats divided into four groups as follows: control group (n: 6) received only laminectomy; SCI with trauma alone; SCI+methylprednisolone 30 mg/kg methylprednisolone, followed by a maintenance dose 5.4 mg/kg/h; SCI+dexmedetomidine 10 microg/kg treatment...

Head trauma is one of the most important clinical issues that not only can be fatal and disabling, requiring long-term treatment care, but also cause heavy financial burden. Formation or distribution free oxygen radicals should decreased to enable fixing poor neurological outcomes prevent neuronal damage secondary ischemia after trauma. Coenzyme Q₁₀ (CoQ₁₀), a component mitochondrial electron transport chain, strong antioxidant plays role in membrane stabilization. In this study, CoQ₁₀ head...

Purpose . Hesperetin and naringenin are naturally common flavonoids reported to have antioxidative effects. This study was performed investigate whether either hesperetin or has a protective effect against apoptosis on retinal ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. Methods Retinal I/R induced by increasing the intraocular pressure 150 mmHg for 60 minutes. Thirty-three male Wistar albino rats were randomised into 5 groups named control, + sham, solvent (DMSO), hesperetin, naringenin. Animals...
