Abstract
The present study was designed to determine the possible hepatoprotective effects of Salvia cryptantha (black weed) plant extract against carbon tetrachloride (CCl4)-induced hepatic injury in rats. Animals were grouped as follows: control group (Group I), CCl4 group (Group II), olive oil group (Group III), CCl4 + S. cryphantha 200 mg/kg group (Group IV), and CCl4 + S. cryptantha 400mg/kg group (Group V). Rats were injected intraperitoneally with CCl4 diluted in olive oil (50% v/v) at a dose of 1ml/kg body weight. Bax and Caspase3 were determined by immunohistochemical staining, while apoptotic index was evaluated using TUNEL assay. Total mRNA was isolated from liver tissues, and the levels of BCL2, Caspase3, SOD, CAT, and glutathione peroxidase (GPx) were determined by using PCR, while MDA level were determined using a colorimetric assay. The antioxidant and anti-apoptotic gene transcripts were decreased in all of the control and treatment groups, while Caspase3 levels were not statistically different. The S. cryptantha plant extract treatment was also found to improve SOD, GPx, and catalase levels, while reducing the serum levels of MDA. The extract of S. cryptantha supplementation had a protective effect against CCl4-induced liver damage. S. cryptantha extract as a supplement may be useful as a hepato-protective agent to combat the toxic effects caused by CCl4 and other chemicals.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The present study investigated the effects of (sun-dried organic apricot/SDOA) supplementation in chow on liver regeneration after partial hepatectomy/(PH) in rats. METHOD In this study, 28 female rats were randomized into four groups. On the 7th day of the study, group 1 underwent laparoscopic intervention while a PH was performed on the other three cohorts. On day 28, all rats were humanely killed. Blood and liver tissue samples were subjected to biochemical determinations, histological examinations, and measurement of tissue oxidative stress enzyme activity. RESULTS Serum levels of alanine transaminase (ALT), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), and liver tissue glutathione (GSH) activities were affected by PH and/or SDOA consumption (P < .05). Moderately staining cell counts in group 4 were significantly different from the other three groups (P < .05). However, no significant differences were detected among all groups in regard to aspartate aminotransferase (AST) serum levels or liver tissue superoxide dismutase (SOD), malondialdehyde (MDA), catalase (CAT) or glutathione peroxidase (GSHpx) activities (P < .05). CONCLUSION The 5% SDOA supplementation over a 21-day feeding period showed a beneficial effect on liver regeneration in rats, as reflects by Ki-67 finding although there was no change in ALT or ALP or in liver tissue GSH activity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Asthma symptoms can be triggered by a variety of factors commonly referred to as "triggers". Some of these factors can also induce severe asthma exacerbations. Thus, it can be assumed that actions taken against such triggers may prevent the progression of the disease. However, limited data exist on the clinical importance of these triggers in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). OBJECTIVE To compare the effect of triggers on symptoms and actions taken against certain modifiable triggers in patients with asthma and COPD. METHODS The study was conducted in a university hospital between June 2009 and June 2010. Patients with asthma and COPD were asked to complete a questionnaire in which both the factors triggering symptoms and the actions taken against several triggers were assessed. RESULTS Three hundred consecutive adult patients (150 asthma, 150 COPD) were enrolled to the study. The frequency of triggering factors was similar in both groups. Vaccination rates for influenza and pneumococcus were significantly higher in patients with COPD. However, such anti-allergic approaches as the use of strategies to decrease dust exposure, the use of anti-mite bed sheets, and the removal of pets from the home were more commonly employed by asthmatic patients. CONCLUSION This study revealed that certain triggers affected COPD and asthma patients to the same degree. Therefore, triggers and strategies for controlling modifiable triggers should be more concentrated on during education in both groups. However, the preventive effect of these strategies on disease progression, particularly in patients with COPD, needs clarification.
