To investigate the protective effect of 2-aminoethyl diphenylborinate (2-APB) against ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury in the rat kidney by an experimental study. ⋯ 2-APB reduces oxidative stress and damage caused by renal I/R injury. The results of this study demonstrate that 2-APB can be used as an effective agent against I/R injury in the kidney.

The present study aimed to investigate the effects of curcumin on the levels of spinal cord labile zinc (Zn) and inflammatory cytokines in rats after traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI). ⋯ Curcumin treatment attenuates the increase of labile Zn and the expression of inflammatory cytokines in the injured spinal cord, and this may be a mechanism whereby curcumin improves the outcome after SCI.
