Effect of Guanxin V in animal model of acute myocardial infarction
Tập 21 Số 1 - 2021
Abstract Background Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is the most serious and
lethal manifestation of coronary heart disease worldwide, presenting extremely
high disability and mortality. Our previous studies have shown that Guanxin
V (GXV) could significantly improve the cardiac function and the blood flow
dynamics, and reduce serum levels of inflammatory factors in AMI rats, thus
triggering vent...
Sulfated polysaccharides of some seaweeds exhibit neuroprotection via mitigation of oxidative stress, cholinergic dysfunction and inhibition of Zn – induced neuronal damage in HT-22 cells
- 2020
Abstract Background Sulfated polysaccharides from marine algae are known to
possess antioxidative activities, however, their therapeutic role in
metal-induced neurodegeneration has not been explored. In this study, the
neuroprotective potentials of sulfated polysaccharides isolated from Ecklonia
maxima (PKPM), Gelidium pristoides (PMNP), Ulva lactuca (PULV), Ulva rigida
(PURL) and Gracilaria graci...
Evaluation of the antidiarrheal activity of 80% methanol extract and solvent fractions of the leaf of Bersama abyssinica fresen (Melianthaceae) in mice

conducted. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate the antidiarrheal activity of
crude extract and solvent fractions of the leaf of B. abyssinica in mice. Cold
maceration within...
Efficacy of a curcumin extract (Curcugen™) on gastrointestinal symptoms and intestinal microbiota in adults with self-reported digestive complaints: a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled study
- 2021
AbstractBackgroundThere is preliminary evidence to suggest curcumin can
alleviate digestive symptoms in adults with self-reported digestive complaints
and irritable bowel syndrome. However, in all these trials, curcumin was used as
a component of a multi-herbal combination and there were consistent concerns
associated with risk of bias in most studies. The goal of this study was to
investigate the...

Antiviral activity of silymarin in comparison with baicalein against EV-A71
Tập 20 Số 1 - 2020
Abstract Background The hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD) is a febrile and
exanthematous childhood disease mainly caused by Enterovirus 71 (EV-A71). In
severe HFMD, virulent EV-A71 strains can cause acute flaccid paralysis and
cardiopulmonary edema leading to death. Currently, no FDA approved antiviral
treatment or vaccine is available for EV-A71. Flavonoids such as silymarin and
baicalein are k...

- 2020
Abstract Background Human respiratory system infected with influenza A virus
(IAV) elicited a robust pro-inflammatory response that resulted in severe
illness and even death. Currently, limited immunomodulator is available to
counteract IAV-associated pneumonia in the clinic. Sinensetin, a
polymethoxylated flavone with five methoxy groups, has been found to possess
anti-agiogenesis, anti-inflammat...
