ABSTRACT Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) and Malondialdehyde (MDA) levels, superoxide dismutase (SOD) glutathione peroxidase (GPx) activities in whole saliva patients with chronic periodontitis. Moreover, the relationship among oxidative damage biomarkers, antioxidant enzymes clinical periodontal status were investigated. Methods: Whole samples collected from 30 periodontitis periodontally healthy control. To determine condition each...

The aim of this study was to investigate the possible protective role vitamin A, C, and E on aflatoxin B 1 -induced in human lymphocytes using biochemical approaches. control group received dimethyl sulfoxide, second cultures were administered (AFB ) at a dose 5 μM. other treated with AFB +vitamin A (0.5 1.0 1.5 μM) C (25, 50, 100 (40, 100, 200 μM). results experiment show that significantly decreased level GSH activities superoxide dismutase GPx increased malondialdehyde. Simultaneous...

The aim of this study was to investigate the total antioxidant capacity, superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase activities, malondialdehyde levels in serum, saliva, gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) preeclamptic normotensive pregnant women with without periodontal disease.Forty women, consisting 10 subjects disease, periodontally healthy subjects, were included study. After clinical measurement samplings, dismutase, GCF determined, data tested by non-parametric tests. Total capacity...

Abstract Aim: To evaluate the possible link between severity of periodontal disease and pre‐eclampsia to correlate this clinical parameters interleukin (IL)‐1 β , tumour necrosis factor‐ α (TNF‐ ), prostaglandins (PGE 2 ) levels in both gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) serum. Material Methods: Fifty‐nine pregnant women (20 mild pre‐eclampsia, 18 severe 21 healthy women) were included study. Dental recordings as well GCF blood samples obtained within 48 h preceding delivery. Results: The...

Abstract The present study aimed to investigate the protective effect of Spirulina platensis (SP) on gentamicin sulphate (GS)‐induced changes in levels lipid peroxidation and endogenous antioxidants kidney rats. Sprague‐Dawley rats were treated separate groups as follows for 7 consecutive days: control (C), (100 mg/kg i.p.) (GS), (1000 orally) plus (SP + GS). degree protection was evaluated by determining effects malondialdehyde (MDA), glutathione (GSH), superoxide dismutase (SOD),...

Purpose: This study was carried out to determine the effects of valproate (VPA), carbamazepine, and levetiracetam (LEV) on antioxidant oxidant enzyme activities clinical importance these effects. Methods: We enrolled 32 patients receiving VPA, 17 8 LEV, 11 multidrug therapy, 30 sex- age-matched healthy volunteers. measured serum paraoxonase arylesterase levels 8-hydroxyguanine (8-OHG) oxidized low-density lipoprotein in all subjects. also determined features patients. Results: The were...

AbstractWhat forms do Islamist moderation take, and which factors underlie each form of moderation? Although a prevalent question in recent years, less is known about the causes systematic fashion. By building on findings Communist literature, we introduce two-stage framework to explain variation party over time across space: tactical vs. ideological moderation. Tactical refers kind where radical parties make decision whether accept electoral democracy as means achieve goals without...

ObjectiveThe aim of the study was to investigate a possible relationship between serum levels adiponectin and clinicopathological characteristics in esophageal cancer. This is first report evaluating patients with

Abstract The present study was designed to investigate the protective effects of L-carnitine (LC) on changes in levels lipid peroxidation and endogenous antioxidants induced by cisplatin (cis-diamminedichloroplatinum II, CDDP) liver kidney tissues rats. Twenty-four Sprague Dawley rats were equally divided into four groups six each: control, cisplatin, L-carnitine, plus cisplatin. degree protection produced evaluated determining level malondialdehyde (MDA). activity glutathione (GSH),...

Abstract Aims (i) To compare chlorhexidine and QM ix TM in terms of orange‐brown precipitate generation root canals (ii) to analyse the produced by mixing ™ with Na OC l determine whether para‐chloroaniline was produced. Methodology The 57 single‐rooted anterior teeth were prepared using ProTaper Universal rotary instruments up size F4. Two millilitres 2.5% used between each instrument change. specimens then divided randomly into three groups ( n = 19) irrigated as follows: group 1, 5 mL...

Abstract Islamist parties' electoral performance is a hotly debated question. Two arguments dominate the literature in terms of democratic elections. The conventional argument has been “one man, one vote, time” hypothesis. More recently, Kurzman and Naqvi challenge this show that Islamists tend to lose free elections rather than win them. We argue existing fall short. Specifically, we theorize moderateness platform plays key role increasing popularity these parties leads higher levels...

This study examines the levels of oxidative damage in patients with retinopathy prematurity (ROP).Fifty were recruited a birthweight below 1500 g or gestational age 32 weeks. The cases classified into those who developed ROP (n=25) and without (n=25). authors obtained blood urine samples from each infant, for measuring 8-hydroxy 2-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) malondialdehyde (MDA) levels, at time first examination 4-6 postnatal weeks.A significant difference was observed leukocyte 8-OHdG compared...

The aim of this study was to investigate whether serum levels interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta) has any possible correlation on inflammatory parameters such as C-reactive protein (CRP), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and fibrinogen concentration in patients with familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) during attack-free period.The IL-1beta, an indicator cytokines status, the acute phase response proteins, CRP, ESR were evaluated 35 FMF 25 healthy volunteers.Serum IL-1beta significantly higher...

The vascular endothelial dysfunction has been implicated in the pathogenesis of migraine. Oxidized low‐density lipoprotein (ox‐LDL) may impair function. Paraoxonase‐1 (PON‐1) prevents oxidative modification LDL cholesterol (LDL‐C). So we investigated serum PON‐1 and arylesterase (ARE) activities, 55 L/M 192Q/R polymorphisms lipid profile patients with Biochemical parameters polymorphism analyses were assessed 104 migraine 86 healthy subjects. Ox‐LDL was detected by ELISA, determined using...

Although economic liberalization has been argued to promote political liberalization, this relationship is poorly understood and we do not consistently observe greater openness leading more open moderate systems. We examine the connection between moderation in context of Islamist Communist parties, both which are characterized by ideologies opposed democracy market. When will these ideological parties adopting pragmatic agendas? argue that competitive spurs emergence but crony does not. In...
