Abstract

Both over-the-counter (OTC) and prescription analgesics-antipyretics like ibuprofen which is nonsteroidalanti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) have effective as well as safe use for long time. Reversible inhibitionof cyclooxygenase enzymes is the mode of action of NSAIDs over all. Use of NSAID lead to drug adversereactions such as cardiovascular and gastrointestinal bleeding also effects of renal. Drug–drug interactions(DDIs) within the NSAID and a concomitant medication cause adverse drug reaction to several cases.DDIs have been reported for example, when commonly used medications as well as some antihypertensive,alcohol, aspirin, antidepressants are coadministered with NSAIDs. Dependent on total drug exposure causea continuous risk in that the potential for an ADR due to interactions pharmacologic nature. When assessingADRs potential risk is important to consideration the use of NSAID dose and duration, also the comedicationtype or class administered. The sub acute toxicity were carried out on thirty mice divided to three equallygroups (10 mice in sub group) which were dosed for two weeks daily as follows: group one (control) wasgivin distilled water, the group two was get diclofenac (voltaren) (100mg/kg B.W.) and group three wasgivin diclofenac (voltaren) with aspirin (100mg/kg B.W.) for each together. Clinical signs of toxicity appearas following: abdominal pain, nausea, dizziness, anorexia, ataxia, blueness of the chest area, shortness ofbreath and Paralysis of the posterior limbs and recumbence, finally the death of mouse. Serum liver enzyme(ALT and AST) were elevated in all groups (diclofenac and diclofenac with aspirin) as compare to controlafter two weeks. Considering histopathological studies of liver tissue after two weeks of daily treatment,which showed moderated mononuclear cells infiltration in portal area around blood vessels and bile ductfor voltaren group and fatty vacuoles in the cytoplasm of hepatic cells, single cells necrosis and severeinflammatory cells infiltration in the capsular area for voltaren with aspirin group. We concluded thatdiclofenac and diclofenac with aspirin have toxic effect appear by clinical symptoms and damage to liver,furthermore, don’t administration of more than one NSAID at same time.

Abstract

Background: With different skeletal classes, there may be some variability among the lip thickness andtongue space area that could be the causative factor for skeletal malrelationship so that this study was aimedto determine the tongue and the available boundary space area with lip thickness and correlate them togetherin sample with class II skeletal pattern.Methods: Seventy Iraqi adult subjects (32 males and 38 females) with cl II skeletal pattern who haveincreased over jet and ANB angle greater than four degrees. The cephalometric measurements include upperand lower lip thicknesses with height and length of tongue and position of tongue base and hyoid bonefrom the cervical line. The cephalograms were analyzed using AutoCAD program to measure demandedareas. Results: This study revealed that a significant gender difference was found between T-Area, V-TT,TH, V-FP, AH-CL, AH-FP, and upper and lower lip thickness in which higher mean value in males thanfemales. The correlation between all the measured variables of present sample with SNA, SNB and ANBangles a non-significant difference was found except for V-CL which shows significant difference. Strongcorrelation was found among the T-Area with V-TT, TH, V-FP, AH-CL, AHFP, upper lip thickness and lowerlip thickness.Conclusions: In skeletal class II, the associated cranial base angles shows independent association from theboundary soft tissues so that these variations not always contribute to be the causative factor for skeletaldisharmony

Abstract

The inflammation is one of the most central processes in animal cells defense versus certain injuries orinfections of microbes. The most essential metabolic precursor for many inflammatory pathways is PGH2(prostaglandin), which catalytic synthesis from the AA (arachidonic acid) by COX enzymes. COX can bedivided in to three isomer COX-1 has important role in many physiological function like hemostasis, plateletaggregation, and protection of gastric mucosa, COX-2 when stimulate cause formation of PGE2 excessively,with other prostaglandin then decrease the pain threshold and nerve ending sensitization, which inducepain, increase permeability of vascular and then enhance the inflammatory associated diseases pathway, andCOX-3 has special characteristic, its higher sensitivity to acetaminophen and present in brain. The NSAIDsare therapeutic agents used for the treatment of inflammation, pain, and fever, they work by decreasing theproduction of prostaglandins due to inhibiting the function of the cyclooxygenase (COX) enzyme, we havetwo types nonselective and selective COX-2 inhibitors. In order to design new agents with no or low sideeffect, the COX-2 selectivity should be increased, this achieved by design molecule structurally similar toapproved selective COX-2 inhibitors. The synthetic compound in this study contain three pharmacophores,a nucleus of coumarin and substituted oxazole moiety, separated by a hydrazonoethyl spacer, which havestructural similarity properties to selective COX-2 inhibitors.

Abstract

The results of the study indicated that green mold caused by Penicillium digitatium was noticed in all typesof citrus fruits (orange, mandarin, bitter orange, lemon). The most sensitive among these fruits was themandarin with 56.12% infection, followed by orange with 40.18%. On the other hand, the bitter orangeand the lemon showed more resistant to the disease, and the their infection percentages were (32.14% and30.55% respectively. The results indicated that the color of the bags had a great effect on the developmentof the disease where the infection percentages when using light green bags and light yellow bags were(19.68%, 17.24%) respectively. While for the dark black bags, the infection percentage was 13.73%. The useof porpolis in all concentrations (6, 8, 10, 12) g/l did not lessen the size of the infected area compared withcontaminated treatment by pathogen.
