13. Removal and killing of multispecies endodontic biofilms by N-acetylcysteine
ABSTRACT Removal of bacterial biofilm from the root canal system is essential for the management of endodontic disease. Here we evaluated the antibacterial effect of N-acetylcysteine (NAC), a potent antioxidant and mucolytic agent, against mature multispecies endodontic biofilms consisting of Actinomyces naeslundii, Lactobacillus salivarius, Streptococcus mu

14. N-Acetyl-cysteine Increases Chemical Stability of Hydroquinone in Pharmaceutical Formulations: a Theoretical and Experimental Approach
In this study, the chemistry stability of hydroquinone (HQ) was evaluated according to its effects in redox properties and compared to kojic acid (KA). The HQ oxidation was more inhibited by N-acetylcysteine (NAC) than ascorbic acid (AA). These results were elucidated using theoretical methods at the DFT/B3LYP level of theory. All electronic parameters were

15. Effects of N-acetylcysteine on amphetamine-induced sensitization in mice
Objective: N-acetylcysteine (NAC) is beneficial in psychiatric conditions, including schizophrenia. Patients with schizophrenia exhibit mesolimbic dopamine hyperfunction consequent to an endogenous sensitization process. This sensitization can be modeled in rodents by repeated exposure to psychostimulants, provoking an enduring amplified response at subsequ

16. Effects of N-acetylcysteine on spinal cord oxidative stress biomarkers in rats with neuropathic pain
N-acetylcysteine (NAC) inhibits nociceptive transmission. This effect has been associated partly with its antioxidant properties. However, the effect of NAC on the levels of lipid hydroperoxides (a pro-oxidant marker), content of ascorbic acid (a key antioxidant molecule of nervous tissue) and total antioxidant capacity (TAC) is unknown. Thus, our study asse

17. Hepatoprotective Role of α-Lipoic acid and Thymoquinone in Acetaminophen- Induced Liver Injury: Down-Regulation of COX-2 and flt-1 Expression
ABSTRACT Acetaminophen (APAP) is a widely-used analgesic, while toxic doses of which induce liver injury. Inducible cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) is derived prostaglandins which play an anti-inflammatory role in acetaminophen-induced hepatotoxicity. Selective activation of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGFR1, flt -1) on endothelial cells increased mRNA lev

18. Trichotillomania: a good response to treatment with N-acetylcysteine
Abstract: Trichotillomania is considered a behavioral disorder and is characterized by the recurring habit of pulling one's hair, resulting in secondary alopecia. It affects 1% of the adult population, and 2 to 4.4% of psychiatric patients meet the diagnostic criteria. It can occur at any age and is more prevalent in adolescents and females. Its occurrence i

19. N-acetylcysteine downregulates phosphorylated p-38 expression but does not reverse the increased superoxide anion levels in the spinal cord of rats with neuropathic pain
We determined the effect of N-acetylcysteine (NAC) on the expression of the phosphorylated p38 (p-p38) protein and superoxide anion generation (SAG), two important players in the processing of neuropathic pain, in the lumbosacral spinal cord of rats with chronic constriction injury (CCI)-induced neuropathic pain. The sciatic functional index (SFI) was also m

20. N-acetylcysteine versus Dopamine to Prevent Acute Kidney Injury after Cardiac Surgery in Patients with Preexisting Moderate Renal Insufficiency
Abstract Objective: Acute kidney injury after cardiac surgery is associated with mortality and morbidity. Therefore, strategies to prevent acute kidney injury are very important. The aim of this placebo-controlled randomized double-blind study was to compare the prophylactic efficacy of N-Acetylcysteine and dopamine administration in patients with pre-exist

21. Trichotillomania: a case report with clinical and dermatoscopic differential diagnosis with alopecia areata
ABSTRACT Trichotillomania is a psychodermatologic disorder characterized by uncontrollable urge to pull one's own hair. Differential diagnoses include the most common forms of alopecia such as alopecia areata. It is usually associated with depression and obsessive-compulsive disorder. Trichotillomania treatment standardization is a gap in the medical literat

22. Cytotoxic activity of Androctonus australis hector venom and its toxic fractions on human lung cancer cell line
Abstract Background: Several studies have showed that animal venoms are a source of bioactive compounds that may inhibit the growth of cancer cells, which makes them useful agents for therapeutic applications. Recently, it was established that venom toxins from scorpions induced cytotoxic, antiproliferative and apoptogenic effects on cancer cells. Therefore

23. Protective effect of Rheum turkestanikum root against doxorubicin-induced toxicity in H9c2 cells
Abstract Doxorubicin is a chemotherapy drug but its clinical using is limited because of its cardiotoxicity. Reactive oxygen species play an important role in the pathological process. The aim of this study is to evaluate the protective effect of Rheum turkestanicum Janisch., Polygonaceae, against doxorubicin-induced apoptosis and death in H9c2 cells. The ce

24. Melatonin prevents hyperglycemia in a model of sleep apnea
Objective Obstructive sleep apnea is a common disorder associated with aging and obesity. Apneas cause repeated arousals, intermittent hypoxia, and oxidative stress. Changes in glucolipidic profile occur in apnea patients, independently of obesity. Animal models of sleep apnea induce hyperglycemia. This study aims to evaluate the effect of the antioxidants
