Choroidal neovascularization (CNV) is a hallmark of exudative age-related macular degeneration (exAMD) and a major cause of visual loss in AMD. Despite the widespread use of anti-VEGF therapy, serious adverse effects arise from repeated intravitreal injection of anti-VEGF antibodies, which warrant
Glucocorticoids remain one of the mainstays of therapy for acute attacks of inflammatory bowel disease despite systemic side effects that limit their use. Prodrugs that selectively deliver glucocorticoids to the colon may lower the required dose and side effects. Because enzymes of gut microflora
The aim of this study was to investigate the potential of prodrugs of some non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) as colon targeted delivery systems for treatment of inflammatory bowel diseases. Naproxen, sulindac and flurbiprofen (Fbp) were used. The carboxylic group of those drugs was
Possible central modulation of acute peripheral inflammation by putative amino acid neurotransmitters was investigated in rats by adopting formalin induced pedal inflammation as an experimental model. Out of five amino acids (GABA, glycine, DL-alanine, L-glutamic acid and L-aspartic acid) tested,
Two rare N-β-D-glucopyranosyl-1H-indole-3-acetic acid conjugates, N-[2-(1-β-D-glucopyranosyl)-1H-indol-3-yl)acetyl]-L-glutamic acid (1) and N-[2-(1-β-D-glucopyranosyl)-1H-indol-3-yl)acetyl]-L-aspartic acid (2) were isolated from Ginkgo biloba. The structures were elucidated by analyses of HRMS and
Recent studies suggested that sulfur dioxide (SO2) can be produced endogenously by pulmonary vessels and attenuate acute lung injury (ALI) with vasorelaxant effects. This study was conducted to determine whether SO2 can inhibit lung inflammation and relax pulmonary arteries via 1. The role of the pro-inflammatory cytokine interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta) in the mechanism of cell death induced by the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) recombinant coat glycoprotein, gp120 IIIB, has been studied in the human CHP100 neuroblastoma cell line maintained in culture. 2. Death
The safety and pharmacokinetics of netilmicin (6.6 mg/kg) and amikacin (14.5 mg/kg) once daily (od) have been compared to their corresponding conventional schedules thrice daily (tid), and twice daily (bd), in patients (20 per group) suffering from pelvic inflammatory disease. Sensitive criteria of
Meprin metalloproteases have been implicated in the pathophysiology of diabetic kidney disease (DKD). SNPs in the meprin β gene associated with DKD in the Pima Indians, a Native American ethnic group with extremely high prevalence of DKD. In diabetic African American men, urinary meprin excretion
OBJECTIVE
To establish the rat model of acute spinal cord injury, followed by aprimary study on this model with ¹H NMR based on metabonomics and to explore the metabonomics and biomarkers of spinal cord injury rat.
METHODS
Twenty eight-week-old adult male SD rats of clean grade, with body weight of
Osteoarthritis (OA), characterized by joint pain and cartilage degradation, is the most common form of joint disease worldwide but with no satisfactory therapy available. The ethanol extract of Agkistrodon acutus (EAA) has been widely used as a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) for Ketorolac (KC) suffers from the general side effects of NSAIDs, owing to presence of free carboxylic acid group. The study aimed to retard the adverse effects of gastrointestinal origin. Ten prodrugs of KC were synthesized by amidation with ethyl esters of amino acids, namely, glycine,
Given importance of 22-Fanconi Anemia (FA) proteins together to act in a signaling pathway in preventing deleterious clinical symptoms, e.g. severe bone marrow failure, congenital defects, an early onset of aging and cancer, studies on each FA protein become increasingly attractive. However, an
Gut microbiota play important roles in host metabolism, especially in diabetes. However, why different diets lead to similar diabetic states despite being associated with different microbiota is not clear. Mice were fed two high-energy diets (HED) with the same energy density but different
UNASSIGNED
The kidney plays a central role in elimination of metabolic waste products and regulation of low-molecular weight metabolites via glomerular filtration, tubular secretion and reabsorption. Disruption of these processes results in profound changes in the biochemical milieu of the body
