Clinical significance of Osteoprotegerin, Vitamin D, Obestatin and some biochemical variables in Kidney failure Patients
...Show More Authors

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is described as an abnormalities of renal function, existing for a long period of time. By reason of the early grades of Chronic kidney disease can be experiences no symptoms, its premature identification is strenuous. initial stage CRD can cause various complications, such as anemia, matabolyic disorders of bone mineral. The study was done to assess the effect the chronic renal disease stage on the Osteoprotegerin, 1,25 dihydroxyvitamin D, Obestatin levels and some biochemical parameters in patients not undertaken dialysis therapy. In this case-control study fifty-five patients with Kidney failure and fourty healthy people were examined. Circulating concentrations of Osteoprotegerin, 1,25 dihydroxyvitamin D and Obestatin were estimated by ELIZA technique, serum urea, uric acid, total protein and total calciumu were estimated enzymatically using spectrophotometer.

Serum concentration of Osteoprotegerin, Obestatin, renal function markers in patients group were higher (328.3±41.68 pg/mL; 15.52±4.28pg/mL; 183.2±10.35 mg/dL; 8.88±0.54 mg/dL; 6.57±0.22 mg/dL) respectively in comparison to the control group (172.6±55.48 pg/mL; 11.64±3.26 pg/mL; 33.45±1.08 mg/dL; 0.95±0.03 mg/dL; 4.35±0.22 mg/dL) respectively. Vitamin D, Total Calcium and Total Proteins level in patients group were lower(24.49±2.53 ng/mL; 8.06±0.18 mg/dL; 6.49±0.12 g/dL) respectively as compared to controls (57.11±12.39 ng/mL; 10.15±0.23 mg/dL; 6.82±0.10 g/dL) respectively. The current study reveals that circulating levels of Osteoprotegerin Obestatin are remarkably linked with the existence of renal failure, the current data identify a high prevalence deficiency and insufficiency of 1,25 dihydroxyvitamin D in patients with moderate and severe Chronic nephropathy.

A study on some variables affecting the preparation of ethyl cellulose based floating microspheres of lafutidine
...Show More Authors

Lafutidine (LAF) a newly developed histamine H2-receptor antagonist with absorption window makes it a good candidate to be prepared as floating drug delivery system. The current study involves formulation and in- Vitro evaluation of lafutidine as floating microspheres. Different formulation variables that affect the physicochemical properties of the prepared microspheres besides to the drug release behavior were investigated. Fourteen formulas were prepared by emulsion (o/w) solvent evaporation method using Ethyl cellulose (EC) as the polymeric matrix and tween 80 (TW80) as an emulsifying agent. The prepared formulas were evaluated for their percentage buoyancy (%), Percentage yield (%) and Entrapment efficiency (EE %). The results obt

Evaluation of the Clinical use of Metformin or Pioglitazone in Combination with Meloxicam in Patients with Knee Osteoarthritis; using Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis outcome Score
...Show More Authors

Osteoarthritis is the most prevalent arthritic disease and a leading cause of disability. The pathogenesis of osteoarthritis involves multiple etiologies, including variable degree of synovial inflammation. Metformin and pioglitazone could potentially reduce the levels and activity of inflammatory mediators. This may consider as a new therapeutic approach added to the current used drugs in an attempt to decrease the pain, inflammation, and improve daily activity and quality of life in patients with knee osteoarthritis.

This study designed to evaluate the clinical utility of using metformin or pioglitazone as anti-inflammatory agents in combination with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID) of selective type of cyclooxygen
