The effect of N_acetylcystein as an antioxidant on iron overload and frequency of blood transfusion in β-thalassemia major patients at Assiut Childern Hospital University And its cosubmitted for partial fulfillment of master degree in Pediatrics
The effects of iron overload and oxidative stress and dyslipidemia on glucose level and thyroid function in patients with abnormal hemoglobinopathy. 2- Evaluation of MDA level as a marker of oxidative stress.
Genetic disorders, such as thalassemia, can lead to iron overload and severe adverse health outcomes. In iron-loading thalassemia, iron overload is due to increased iron absorption. Iron accumulates in the body organs causing widespread damage. The standard treatment is iron chelation therapy and/or periodic phlebotomy to remove iron from the body; frequency of phlebotomy or chelation therapy is dependent on how quickly body iron stores accumulate. Polyphenolic compounds are very strong inhibitors of non-heme iron absorption, as they form insoluble complexes with ferrous iron in the gastrointestinal tract that cannot be absorbed. The investigators have recently shown in European subjects with hereditary hemochromatosis (another iron-loading disorder) that our newly-developed natural polyphenol supplement (PPS) that is rich in polyphenols, when taken with iron-rich meals or with an iron-fortified drink, reduces iron absorption by ~40%. Decreasing non-heme iron absorption in adults with iron-loading thalassemia could potentially lead to an extension of the time period between phlebotomies or chelation therapies, and therefore an improved quality of life. Therefore, in this stable iron isotope study, the investigators will study the effect the natural PPS on oral iron absorption from an iron-rich test meal or iron-fortified drink in Thai adults with iron-loading thalassemia.
Iron demand: The average daily demand to fit the cell biological metabolism is balanced between intake and lost which about 1-2 mg.

The investigators aim to give an overview of Iron overload(IOL) of patients with AA and low and int-1 risk MDS and their sequelae under different chelation treatment. And the investigators also aim to evaluate the relationship of LIC and T2*/R2*.
Interventional Allocation: Randomized Endpoint Classification: Safety/Efficacy Study of combined chelation therapy Masking: Open Label Primary Purpose: Treatment of transfusional iron overload Primary Outcome Measures: • The primary outcome measure is to assess efficacy in lowering serum ferritin level(the change in serum ferritin compared to baseline) with combining DFP and deferasirox compared to combined DFP and DFO in conditions with severe chronic iron overload; showing an up-trend of SF over previous 12 months on single chelator. Secondary Outcome Measures: • The secondary outcome measure is to determine the number of patients who will develop adverse events in order to assess safety upon administering the drugs in combination (DFP and DFX) compared to the combination of DFO and DFP.
The purpose of this study is to prospectively evaluated the T2* values of normal feti.A standardized scale of T2* values for fetal and neonatal iron organ overload have yet to be reported or devised.
The purpose of study is to evaluate and compare the effect of iron supplementation when given as iron tablet or fortified biscuit or combined with zinc in the form of tablet on morbidity and iron toxicity markers among children aged 24-36 months.
