Abstract

Background: The component (C3) of the complement system constitutes a central element in liver transplantation. C3 is produced mainly by the liver and comprises both slow (C3-S), and fast (C3-F) components., Methods: The effect of a single nucleotide variation in the C3 gene on the first-year outcome examined by ARMS PCR in 30 recipients of living donor allograft., Results: Frequencies of C3-S and C3-F in the Egyptian recipients' population were 67% and 33%. C3-F allele frequency was prevalent than the C3-S allele in recipients who developed acute rejection. The C3-SF and C3-FF genotypes significantly associated with acute rejection with 6.25 times increase in the risk of rejection than C3-SS (OR: 6.25; CI:1.05-37.07, p < .05). C3-SS increases the survival 2.5 times more than C3-SF or C3-FF but without significant association (OR: 0.40, CI: 0.07-2.44, p = .3). C3 genotypes or allotypes had no significant association with the recipient's survival, death, graft loss, infection, or serum levels of tacrolimus (all p > .05). C3-FF and C3-SF genotypes had the highest HCV recurrence rate but without significant association (p > .05)., Conclusion: In liver allograft recipients, C3-SF and C3-FF genotypes significantly associated with acute rejection with the C3-F allele more prevalent than the C3-S. C3-SS genotype increases survival without significant association., Competing Interests: Declaration of Competing Interest Authors declare there is no conflict of interest., (Copyright © 2020 Elsevier B.V.

Abstract

Background: Around 50% of women receiving Aromatase Inhibitors (AIs) develop musculoskeletal symptoms which may become severe causing interruption of treatment. Patients with AI-induced arthralgia had higher rates of joint effusions and fluid in the tendons, so use of diuretics may be helpful. Methods: This prospective phase II study was conducted in department of clinical oncology and nuclear medicine, Menoufia University Hospital, Egypt, between Jan. to Dec. 2015. Fifty Women with stage I,II and III breast cancer receiving AIs as adjuvant hormonal treatment complaining of AIs related musculoskeletal symptoms received Lasilactone® 50 mg tablet; (an oral combination of Frusemide 20mg/Spironolactone 50 mg), every other day for 4 weeks. Patients were assessed by modified Western Ontario and McMaster Universities osteoarthritis (WOMAC) index for lower limb and the quick Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand Score (DASH) scoring system for upper limbs, Arabic versions, at baseline and after 4 weeks of treatment. Results: The mean WOMAC pain score improved significantly (6.0 v 10; P < 0.001), the mean WOMAC stiffness score improved (2.3 v 3.9; P = 0.002), the mean WOMAC functional score improved (8.7 v 15; P < 0.001), the total WOMAC score improved (17 v 29; P < 0.001), also a significant difference was noticed for the quick DASH score; total score (16 v 25; P = 0.02) After use of diuretics for 4 weeks of treatment compared with baseline scores. Conclusions: The use of diuretics effectively reduces AI related musculoskeletal symptoms with good tolerance., (Creative Commons Attribution License)

Abstract

Schistosma infection is an endemic disease in many developing countries including Egypt. Despite the effort to control and treat the infection with praziquantel, the development of resistance is a major health problem. Myrrh extract (Mirazid*) has been used as an alternative with conflicting results. In this study the effects of Mirazide fractions on schistosomules of S. mansoni have been tested. Using column chromatography we have fractionated the molecule to 10 fractions. Two of these fractions were more potent and cause damage to the schistosomules detected by toluidine blue dyes and confirmed by electron microscopic examination. In conclusion, identification and purification of the, active molecules in these fractions may potentiate the: antischistosomal effects of Mirazid®.
