The effect of intravenous glutamine on the protein expression changes, caspase-12 and apoptosis in renal tubulus russ male, rattusnovergicusstrain wistar, exposed by cisplastin
Get PDFCisplatin efficacy is dependent on dose. The cisplatin-induced apoptosis pathway can go through the ER stress pathway which will activate Bax and Bak (proapoptosis) causing calcium homeostasis disorders to occur. Glutamine protective effect on caspase-12 expression on the prevention of apoptotic events in renal proximal tubular epithelial cells is unknown. This further study analyzes the effects of intravenous glutamine on caspase- 12 expression in the apoptosis of renal proximal tubular cells of male white rats exposed to cisplatin. The control group (P0) consisted of 10 individuals, group P1 on day 7 was given a single dose of 20mg / kg of intraperitoneal cisplatin injection, group P2 on day 1-7 was given intravenous glutamine injection of 100mg / kg on day 7 also given a single intraperitoneal cisplatin injection 20mg / kg. The number of cells expressing caspase-12 and the number of apoptotic cells was observed after 72 hours. Caspase-12 expression and apoptosis data were collected for processing and analysis. There is a significant effect (p <0.0001) in giving intravenous glutamine on caspase-12 expression in renal proximal tubular cell apoptosis. Glutamine can inhibit the expression of caspase-12, and the incidence of proximal tubular cell apoptosis were exposed by cisplatin

Patents vs pandemics
Get PDFThe COVID-19 pandemic has forced a rethinking of public health and patent systems. It has brought livelihoods to a halt, wreaking havoc on people's lives and national economies. The need to create and deploy additional vaccinations, repurpose pharmaceuticals, and sustain medical infrastructure is jeopardising global health security. At the international and national levels, collaboration and collaborative action are essential. In terms of public health, IPR access is critical. Many countries have announced new rules and passed legislation to make it simpler to provide medicines to their citizens during the pandemic. Compulsory licensing has been a key tool for opening up IP without the approval of patent holders.There is frequently a conflict between the need to grant monopolies in the form of IP rights as an incentive for pharmaceutical sector advancements on the one hand, and the need to award monopolies in the form of IP rights as a fundamental right on the other. As a result, hurdles exist in decision-making in order to strike a balance between innovative incentives and assuring access to healthcare.
