The role of pharmaceutical care intervention in improving the condition of patients with hypothyroidism is still uncovered in Sulaimani city in Iraq, therefore, the current study aimed to evaluate the role of pharmaceutical care interventions in improving the outcome of psychological abnormalities in patients diagnosed with hypothyroidism. Fifty-eight patients were enrolled in the study and were randomly allocated into two groups: pharmaceutical care and the control group, both groups were interviewed by the pharmacist using a specific questionnaire. It is the fourth version of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV) for assessing their psychological state at the beginning and the at the end of the study and data are recorded by the pharmacist. Blood samples were collected and utilized for analyzing the levels of thyroid function tests, lipid profile tests and blood glucose parameters at baseline and six weeks after. The pharmaceutical care group received all the education about their medications and how to minimize drug-related problems; improve the outcome and quality of life. Additionally, the pharmaceutical intervention included correcting some biochemical parameters. The study findings suggest that pharmaceutical care intervention and the pharmacist’s role over six-weeks period could improve the patient’s psychological condition. In addition, it can improve some biochemical parameters and quality of life significantly.","PeriodicalId":14600,"journal":{"name":"Iraqi Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135247364","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Fifty-six male Wister albino-rats, weighing 270±30 g. The rats were allocated at random into seven groups (n=8 per group), as follows: Group 1 (Healthy control) was given 0.5% CMC orally for the 14 days. Group 2 (Positive control) was given a single injection of 7mg/kg Cisplatin intraperitoneally and then 0.5% CMC orally for the following 14 days. Group 3 was given 3.5mg/kg Azilsartan orally for the following 14 days. Group 4 was given 7mg/kg Azilsartan orally for the following 14 days. Group 5 was given a single injection of 7mg/kg Cisplatin intraperitoneally and then 3.5mg/kg Azilsartan orally for the following 14 days. Group 6 was given a single injection of 7mg/kg Cisplatin intraperitoneally and then 7mg/kg Azilsartan orally for the following 14 days. Group 7 (standard) was given 25mg/kg/day Resveratrol orally for following 14 days.Azilsartan at low dose (3.5mg/kg) showed a significant reduction in IL-1β pro-inflammatory marker level, whereas there was no significant effect on MDA and SOD levels in cisplatin-induced ocular damage. Histologically, there were significant reduction in inflammatory exudates, edema, and inflammatory cells infiltration with both doses. Additionally, there were no significant difference among Azilsartan only received groups and Resveratrol group. Azilsartan shows a promising anti-inflammatory effect in ocular tissue in Cisplatin experimental rat models by significantly reducing IL-1β overexpression, through its potent AT1receptor blocking effect. However, Azilsartan showed a slight effect on MDA levels and marginal effect on SOD levels in Cisplatin-induced ocular toxicity. Furthermore, Azilsartan at a low dose slightly mimicked the effect of resveratrol on normal ocular tissue, suggesting an advancement in prophylactic application in ocular injury.

It induces severe bone marrow suppression by damaging hematopoietic stem cells through the generation of oxidative stress. Fisetin is a hydrophobic polyphenolic compound with a wide range of pharmacological properties such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, osteoprotective, antidiabetic, and anti-carcinogenic activities. The present study aims to evaluate the effects of fisetin alone and pretreatment with cyclophosphamide on some selected hematological and oxidative stress parameters in the male rats model. Animals were randomly divided into 4 groups each with 7 rats. The first group received 1% dimethyl sulfoxide (negative control group). The second group received oral fisetin. The third group received a single intraperitoneal (IP) injection of cyclophosphamide (CP) and the fourth group received fisetin for 7 constitutive days than a single IP injection of CP on day 7. Results showed that both fisetin and CP significantly reduced the total white blood cells and platelet counts compared to such counts in negative control/Group I (P<0.05) when each administered alone and in combination. Furthermore, results viewed that fisetin significantly increased GSH and SOD1, and decrease MDA levels in serum compared to such levels in CP (Group III) rats (P<0.05).

Safety of THQ in respect of hematological, liver and renal function were also investigated. Bladder lesions in the THQ-treated group was reduced versus the carcinogen group. Histopathological findings in THQ-treated group demonstrated a significant improvement in the abnormal morphological growth in bladder, the TOS, NF-kβ, TGF-β, VEGF were mitigated non-significantly in the treatment group. The safety profile of THQ showed no significant deleterious effect on hematological, liver and renal function parameters with no signs of toxicity. THQ inhibited the development of neoplastic, preneoplastic transformations and it suppressed premalignant and malignant lesion formation in a rat model of bladder cancer.

In addition, to evaluate the nephroprotective effect of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors in terms of their influence on MIF levels. This is a case-control study involving ninety subjects that have been divided into three groups: twenty apparently healthy control group and seventy patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus divided into two equal groups according to the presence of diabetic nephropathy that has been further divided into two groups according to the use of ACE inhibitors or not. Serum MIF, urea, creatinine, RBS, HbA1c, BMI, eGFR, and urinary albumin to creatinine ratio have been measured for each subject. Serum MIF’s highest levels were observed in the diabetic nephropathy patients (24.9 ng/ml) followed by the diabetics (14. 1 ng/ml) with the lowest level observed in the control group (4.8 ng/ml). There was a significant relation between MIF levels and ACE inhibitors (p-value <0.05) with reduced MIF levels in ACE inhibitors users.

Insulin resistance takes a key role in the process of the MetS and has even been hypothesized as its underlying cause. Clinical and epidemiologic studies also indicate that obesity and life style habit might be correlated with IR. This study examined the relationship between IR and MetS in a sample of young, healthy university students in Iraq. It discovered that the severity of IR is positively correlated with the clustering of MetS risk factors in Iraqi students, suggesting that the IR index could be used as a diagnostic tool to identify the young adult who is at higher risk of developing IR and help prevent metabolic disorders that may develop secondary to IR. Insulin resistance was highly correlated with dietary product use, high BMI, and physical inactivity, investigating the IR in an early stage is crucial for trying to stop the disease progression into chronic disease.","PeriodicalId":14600,"journal":{"name":"Iraqi Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences","volume":"73 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135586536","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
