In recent years, ‘new type endothelium development’ caused by trauma-induced hemorrhagic shock, have been widely understood and researchers try to figure out the effect of endothelial apoptosis on this process. New modulation of immune response may result in undesired apoptosis and give rise to programmed cell death. In experimental models, apoptosis has been shown in liver, kidney, heart and brain after the damage of ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) during trauma. Apoptosis may be an important factor for the development of serious hemorrhagic shock during trauma. In this review we aimed to reveal the possible relationship between trauma and apoptosis.","PeriodicalId":16365,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Medicinal and Chemical Sciences","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84007430","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}

The investigation was carried out for application as anti-diabetic drug delivery system. Charantin was extracted from bitter melon fruit and leaf under a controlled pH of 4.5. The preparation of PNIPAM was done by varying the acrylamide between (3-12)% and show increase in the lower critical solution temperature (LCST) from 32- 43℃ which indicates a direct relationship in distilled water. The effect of changing solution from distilled water, insulin, and charantin solution, shows that the higher the polarity of the solution, the lower the LCST of the hydrogel. Charantin loaded on hydrogels N1, N2, N3, and N4 were found to be (42.51, 44.57, 43.55 and 44.61)μg/mL, respectively, when soaked in charantin solution of 52.61 μg/mL. Characterization of the hydrogels using Fourier transformed infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy shows that there is physical interaction between the hydrogel matrix and the charantin molecules.
