This report was described the observation of five types of congenital anomalies with a Hydramnios Syndrome in prolonged gestational (6 months) three years old awassi ewe bearing an abnormal fetus for first time, ultrasonography revealed signs of pregnancy with numerous small cotyledon, high amount of bright turbid fluid (Hyper-genic), with no signs of heart beat and small abnormal ribs. Vaginal examination indicated that complete closure cervix with pale mucous membrane.
Myocardial infarction causes an acute condition of necrosis of the myocardium resulting in increased production of free radicals and decreased levels of antioxidants. It was proposed that Febuxostat reduced myocardial oxidative stress and suppressed apoptosis. Cilostazol used to treat claudication has a growing evidence, suggesting that Cilostazol could be cardioprotective. This work aims to highlight the potential protective effect of pretreatment with Febuxostat vs. Cilostazol on Isoproterenol induced cardiac toxicity in rats. Thirty-six male albino rats were divided into 6 groups (6 rats each); control, Febuxostat, Cilostazol, Isoproterenol, Febuxostat+Isoproterenol and Cilostazol+Isoproterenol groups. Cardiotoxicity was induced by subcutaneous injection of Isoproterenol g g the th and14th day of the experiment. ECG parameters were assayed. Measurement of cardiac TNF-α level, serum troponin and histopathological changes were also performed. Pretreatment with Febuxostat led to significant increase in heart rate and a significant decrease in QT and QTC intervals compared to Cilostazol. Cilostazol led to significant reduction in TNF-α a d i sig ifica t reducti f cardiac troponin levels compared to Febuxostat. Isoproterenol led to arrhythmia in 33% of rats, Febuxostat led to arrhythmia in 50% of rats, while Cilostazol did not lead to any arrhythmias. Pretreatment with Febuxostat and Cilostazol led to significant improvement in the pathological changes caused by Isoproterenol; however, there was no statistically significant difference between them. Pretreatment with Cilostazol is more cardioprotective than Febuxostat as it led to more reduction in TNF-α with ut increasing arrhythmias or affecting QT and QTC intervals as compared to Febuxostat.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
