The primary objective is to determine the effect of locally administered rhAPC on LPS-induced lung inflammation and coagulation. By using measurements on cells harvested from bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL)-fluid and in BAL-fluid supernatants, we will…
Does antagonism of the adenosine receptor by caffeine lead to an increased LPS-induced inflammatory reaction and an increase in (subclinical) tissuedamage?Does the C34T-polymorphism of the enzyme AMP-deaminase lead to a decreased inflammatory…
The goals of the proposed study are: (1) to further elucidate the relations between impulse control, motivational strength of drug cues, and brain activation patterns (using fMRI); (2) to examine the relative strength by which these processes are…
The primary objective is to establish the neuroprotective efficacy of NAC against cisplatin-induced neurotoxicity. Mainly the sensory neuronal guidance will be assessed before and after treatment with cisplatin in a group of patients receiving NAC…
to study the effect of pre-treatment with the specific a7nAChR agonist GTS-21 on cytokine production and the effects on the subsequent subclinical organ dysfunction in the human endotoxemia model. to measure the effect of LPS administration in the…
1. Determine the influence of acetylcysteine on thiopuirine related hepatotoxicity2. Determine the relation between hepatotoxicity, thiopurine metabolism, amino acid availablility and markers for oxidative stress3. Determine the effect of…
Primary Objective: Our primary objective is to investigate the effect of NAC on H2S levels in plasma in different patient groups, i.e. healthy volunteers, CKD patients, and dialysis patients. We hypothesize that there is an increase in H2S levels…
Primary Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of intravenous NAC in comparison with placebo in terms of pain relief after unilateral inguinal hernia repair measured by a visual analogue scale (VAS 0-100) at day 1 after surgery.Secondary Objective(s):…
The objective of this study is to investigate the effectivity on reducing or cessation of cocaine use of 1) working memory training, 2) N-acetylcysteine, 3) the combination of working memory training and N-acetylcysteine. Clinical measures (cocaine…
