Therefore, this study aimed to determine the prevalence, awareness, and behaviors related to NSAIDs and CAM use in Palestinian student-athletes. This was a cross-sectional study that involved 227 students from the Faculty of Sports at An-Najah National University. A self-administered questionnaire was designed in Arabic; it had six sections and a number of open-ended and closed-ended questions. SPSS version 21 was used to analyze the results. Descriptive statistics (i.e., frequencies, percentages) were used to describe the results including demographic characteristics. Overall, 79.3% of the student-athletes had used NSAIDs in the past and 89.0% had used CAM. The CAM methods used by participants were herbals (57.3%), supplements (32.2%), cupping (11.9%), acupuncture (2.2%), massage (51.5%), yoga (4.0%), praying (18.1%) and ice poper use and the possible side-effects of NSAIDs and CAM are needed.The objective of the present study was to evaluate hair essential and trace element levels and metabolic risk markers in overweight and obese subjects in relation to body mercury burden. According to 2 × 2 factorial design a total of 440 adults were distributed to four groups (i) low-Hg normal-weight subjects (n = 114); (ii) high-Hg normal weight subjects (n = 113); (iii) low-Hg overweight (BMI &gt; 25) subjects (n = 110); (iv) high-Hg overweight (BMI &gt; 25) subjects (n = 110). Hg-exposed groups consisted of subjects characterized by frequent seafood consumption (&gt; 4 times/week) subsequently evaluated by hair analysis (&gt; 0.58 μg/g). Dietary-exposed subjects were characterized by a more than 3-fold higher hair Hg content irrespectively of body weight values. Both low-Hg and high-Hg overweight subjects were characterized by significantly higher ALT activity, as well as elevated serum glucose, LDL, and triglyceride levels as compared to the respective groups of normal weight subjects. High Hg body burden had a more significant effect on metabolic parameters in overweight and obese adults. Particularly, high-Hg overweight subjects were characterized by significantly higher serum creatinine and uric acid levels, as well as increased GGT and CK activity as compared to low-Hg overweight counterparts. In addition, hair Mg, Mn, and Sr content in high-Hg overweight subjects was significantly lower than that in low-Hg normal weight and overweight examinees. In turn, high Hg levels in overweight subjects were associated with significantly higher hair Se and Zn levels when compared to unexposed overweight adults. Generally, the obtained data demonstrate that increased hair Hg levels in overweight and obese subjects is associated with adverse metabolic profile. It is proposed that observed metabolic alterations may be at least partially mediated by Hg-associated disturbances in essential trace element and mineral metabolism.<br /><br /> The high doses of oral tacrolimus (TAC) (1,2) necessary to prevent acute rejection (AR) after vascularized composite allotransplantation (VCA) are associated with systemic adverse effects. The skin is the most antigenic tissue in VCA and the primary target of AR. However, the short-term use of topical TAC (Protopic®), as an off-label adjunct to oral TAC, to treat AR episodes pro re nata (PRN), has yielded inconsistent results. There is lack of data on the pharmacokinetics and tissue distribution of topical TAC in VCA, that hampers our understanding of the reasons for unreliable efficacy. Toward this goal, we evaluated the ability of topical TAC to achieve high local tissue concentrations at the site of application with low systemic concentrations.<br /><br /> We assessed the pharmacokinetics and tissue distribution of topical TAC (Protopic®, 0.03%) after single or repeated topical application in comparison to those after systemic delivery in rats. [https://www.selleckchem.com/products/px-478-2hcl.html PX-478 order] Animals received a single topical application of TAC ointment (Group 1 specific graft immunosuppression and enables future applications in VCA.<br /><br />Topical application of TAC ointment (Protopic®, 0.03%) at a dose of 0.5 mg/kg/day provided high concentrations in the local tissues with low systemic exposure. Repeated topical administration of TAC is well tolerated with no local or systemic adverse effects. This study confirms the feasibility of topical application of TAC for site specific graft immunosuppression and enables future applications in VCA.<br /><br /> Diabetes mellitus is a serious metabolic disorder causing multiple organ damage in human. However, the lipidomic profiles in different organs and their associations are rarely studied in either diabetic patients or animals.<br /><br /> To evaluate and compare the characteristics of lipid species in serum and multiple tissues in a diabetic mouse model.<br /><br /> Semi-quantitative profiling analyses of intact and oxidized lipids were performed in serum and multiple tissues from a diabetic mouse model fed a high fat diet and treated with streptozotocin by using LC/HRMS and MS/MS. The total content of each lipid class, and the tissue-specific lipid species in all tissue samples were determined and compared by multivariate analyses.<br /><br /> The diabetic mouse model displayed characteristic differences in serum and multiple organs the brain and heart showed the largest reduction in cardiolipin, while the kidney had more alterations in triacylglycerol. Interestingly, the lipidomic differences also existed between different regions of the same organ cardiolipin species with highly polyunsaturated fatty acyls decreased only in atrium but not in ventricle, while renal cortex showed longer fatty acyl chains for both increased and decreased triacylglycerol species than renal medulla. Importantly, diabetes caused an accumulation of lipid hydroperoxides, suggesting that oxidative stress was induced in all organs except for the brain during the development of diabetes.<br /><br /> These findings provided novel insight into the organ-specific relationship between diabetes and lipid metabolism, which might be useful for evaluating not only diabetic tissue injury but also the effectiveness of diabetic treatments.<br /><br />These findings provided novel insight into the organ-specific relationship between diabetes and lipid metabolism, which might be useful for evaluating not only diabetic tissue injury but also the effectiveness of diabetic treatments.
