Lung parenchyma and architecture is destroyed, compliance is lost, and gas exchange is compromised in this debilitating condition that leads to respiratory failure. NAC is a precursor of L-cysteine that results in glutathione elevation biosynthesis. It acts directly as a scavenger of free radicals, especially oxygen radicals. This study aimed to evaluate the possible therapeutic effect of Adipose derived mesenchymal stem cells and N-acetylcysteine (NAC) on induced lung fibrosis in adult male albino rats. Methods: Ten rats were used to isolated adipose-derived stem cells and sixty rats were randomly divided into five groups. Group I (control group: 20 rats), Group II (affected group:10 rats), Group III (Adipose stem cell group: 10 rats), Group Iv (N-acetylcystiene group:10 rats) and Group v (Adipose stem cell + NAC group: 10 rats). Specimens taken and histological studies, immunohistochemical and morphometric study were performed. Results: Group II showed markedly thickened inter-alveolar septa with extensive cellular infiltration and many collapsed alveoli. There was massive lymphocytic infiltration around bronchiolar wall. There was a significant decrease (P<0.01) in collagen fibers accumulation in group III, IV and V compared with group II. There was a significant increased (P>0.01) in Ki67 expression in group III, IV & V compared to group I. Conclusion: This work concluded that each of N-acetylcysteine and Adipose-Derived Stem Cells can ameliorate bleomycin induced lung toxicity, but their co-administration can give better results. The use of adipose tissue-derived stem cells with N-acetylcysteine showed marked reduction in the Bleomycin toxicity and significant improvement of bleomycin induced lung fibrosis","PeriodicalId":503219,"journal":{"name":"Benha Medical Journal","volume":"103 16","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139614514","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}

Radiofrequency ablation has emerged as an effective intervention for primary varicose veins, addressing both medical and cosmetic aspects. This study aimed to evaluate the cosmetic effect of radio frequency ablation of primary varicose veins including quality of life (QoL). Patients and methods: This prospective interventional study was conducted on 40 patients diagnosed with primary varicose veins. Radiofrequency ablation was performed, and patients were assessed using various parameters, including CEAP classification, visual analogue pain scale, and quality of life measures. Results: The study included individuals with a mean age of 33.13 ± 5.5, comprising 35% males and 65% females. Intraoperative and post-procedure Pain scores (VAS) exhibited highly significant differences. The mean hospital stay was 14.00 ± 7.00 hours, the return to normal activity took 4.27 ± 1.31 days, and the return to work required 7.10 ± 1.83 days. Significant differences were observed between Preoperative and Post procedure in terms of the QoL parameter. Strong significant correlations between QoL parameter and age, CEAP, VDS, and VAS were evident in univariate and multivariate correlation regression analyses. Conclusions: Radiofrequency technologies are, effective and safe treatments for truncal venous reflux with less side effects. Radio Frequency Ablation treatments have typically short post-procedural recovery times facilitating early return to work and normal activity.","PeriodicalId":503219,"journal":{"name":"Benha Medical Journal","volume":"121 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139613886","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}

This study aimed to assess the level of serum immune globulin E (IgE) in children with idiopathic nephrotic syndrome (INS) as a marker for response to therapy. Methods: This prospective study was conducted in the Pediatric Department, Benha University Hospital. The study consisted of two groups: Group I: Fifty children suffering from idiopathic nephrotic syndrome treated with corticosteroid. Group II: Fifteen healthy children as a control group. All included children were subjected to full history taking, complete clinical examination, and laboratory assessment as complete blood count (CBC), absolute eosinophilic count, serum urea & creatinine, serum level of IgE, serum electrolytes, and 24 h’s protein in urine. Results: About three-quarters of group I were steroid sensitive (72.0%), and one-quarter were steroid-resistant (28.0%), median serum IgE was significantly higher (p= 0.001) in group I (275.55) than group II (100.5). Median serum IgE was significantly higher (p= 0.001) in the steroid-resistant group (911.85) than the steroid-sensitive (164.5). ROC analysis was done for differentiating between nephrotic patients and controls. For IgE, it revealed a significant area under curve (AUC) of 0.788.

However, the optimal ratio of blood products to be transfused remains a topic of debate. Aim: to evaluate the outcomes of using a 1:1:1 blood transfusion ratio in patients with critical bleeding and compare its effectiveness and safety with other ratios. Patients and Methods: patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) at Benha University hospitals due to critical bleeding were included in this observational study. Results: The mean age of the patients was 41 ± 14 years, with equal gender distribution. Non-traumatic causes accounted for the majority (66%) of hemorrhagic shock cases. The analysis showed no significant differences in age, gender, or cause of hemorrhagic shock when classifying patients based on 24-hour mortality. However, non-survivors had significantly higher shock index values and longer hospital stays compared to survivors. When classifying patients based on 30-day mortality, non-survivors had a higher proportion of traumatic causes and received more red blood cell transfusions than survivors. There were positive correlations between the length of stay in the intensive care unit and blood product administration (red blood cells, fresh frozen plasma, and cryoprecipitate), as well as the shock index. Conclusion: the study highlights the importance of the shock index as a predictor of mortality in hemorrhagic shock patients. It also emphasizes the impact of factors such as shock severity, blood product administration, and the nature of the underlying cause on patient outcomes.","PeriodicalId":503219,"journal":{"name":"Benha Medical Journal","volume":"45 10","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139534926","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}

Group II received daily subcutaneous injections of 1 mg/kg/day of Tacrolimus for 30 days. Group III received Tacrolimus for 30 days then a single PRP injection. Group IV received Tacrolimus for 30 days then a single injection of MSCs. In all groups the rats were scarified after sixty days from the beginning of the experiment. For demonstration of the collagen fibers, tongue sections were stained with Mallory Trichrome and were stained with Hematoxylin and Eosin for histological analysis. Electron microscopic scans were used in this study and immunohistochemistry using anti-PCNA primary antibody were used to examine the tongue. Results: Histological and immunohistochemical examination of Tacrolimus group tongues showed poorly defined filiform papillae, some epithelial cells appeared degenerated with pyknotic nuclei, however tongue sections of Gr. II and Gr. IV showed marked tongue histological structure improvement and up regulated expression of PCNA, compared to the Gr. II. Scanning electron microscope supported these results.
