1. After monitoring the changes associated with necrotizing acute pancreatitis in rats from early stages to 24 h after infusion of 5% sodium taurocholate in the choledocus, we characterized by flow cytometry the zymogen granules that still remained in the pancreas 18 h after sodium taurocholate
OBJECTIVE
Knowledge of host factors affecting plant-nematode interactions is scarce. Here, relevant interaction phenotypes between a nodulating model host, Lotus japonicus, and the endoparasitic root-knot nematode Meloidogyne incognita are assessed via a genetic screen.
METHODS
Within an alpha
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is emerging as the most common liver disease in industrialized countries. The discovery of food components that would ameliorate NAFLD is therefore of interest. Lotus root, the edible rhizome of Nelumbo nucifera, contains a high level of polyphenolic
BACKGROUND
The lotus petal flap procedure is widely used for vulvovaginal reconstructions after gynecologic resections, but its effectiveness for posterior perineal coverage and filling is not yet well defined.
METHODS
We conducted a retrospective evaluation of 10 lotus petal flap procedures
OBJECTIVE
The objective of the present work was to assess the efficacy and complications of the use of the lotus petal flap in the vulvoperineal reconstruction among female patients treated for vulvar malignancies.
METHODS
Between December 2000 and April 2003, five patients underwent vulvoperineal
OBJECTIVE
The aim of this study is to report on our experience with the supra-fascial lotus petal flap following the resection of vulvar cancer.
METHODS
The original lotus petal flap or gluteal-fold flap technique was initially described with fascial elevation. However, flap harvesting in a
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the efficacy of tunneled lotus petal flap in terms of anatomical and cosmetic results in patients who underwent vulvoperineal reconstruction for vulvar malignancy.
METHODS
Between March 2010 and July 2011, 22 women underwent vulvoperineal reconstruction using tunneled lotus
Snow lotus (Saussurea involucrata (Kar. & Kir.) Sch. Bip.) is an economically important medicinal herb increasingly grown in China in recent years. During the summer and autumn of 2005, 2006, and 2007, a necrosis of unknown etiology was observed on leaves in commercial production areas in
Lotus seed has long been used in traditional medicine and cuisine. In this study, lotus seed protein (LSP) was isolated and evaluated its anti-inflammatory effect in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated RAW264.7 macrophages. LSP isolate (LSPI) treatment in LPS-stimulated RAW264.7 macrophages resulted
In this study, the effect of lotus leaf flavonoids (LLF) on carbon tetrachloride (CCl4)-induced liver injury in mice was studied. CCl4 was injected intraperitoneally to induce liver injury in Kunming mice. Mice were treated with LLF by gavage, and the mRNA expression levels in
The present study investigated the protective effects of lotus seedpod procyanidins (LSPCs) on extremely low frequency electromagnetic field (ELF-EMF)-induced neurotoxicity in primary cultured rat hippocampal neurons and the underlying molecular mechanism. The results of MTT, morphological
OBJECTIVE
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)-associated changes in esophageal histology have been reported mainly after short-term medical antireflux therapy, and few individual lesions have been examined. We report detailed histological findings from the LOTUS study, at baseline and at 1 and 3
Lotus plumule is a traditional Chinese food that can be used as a beverage. In this study, three kinds of Lotus plumules from different regions of China were selected to observe the preventive effects of extracted alkaloids on CCl₄-induced liver injuries. Animal experiments revealed
The in vitro activities of 39 polysaccharides from different parts of 13 lotus root varieties were evaluated and introduced into multiple linear regression analysis to explore the structure-activity relationships using their chromatographic fingerprint features as independent variables. Their
Gastric ulcers are a common gastrointestinal disease across the globe. Alcohol consumption is the primary cause of gastric carcinogenesis and progression. We investigated the gastroprotective effects of fermented lotus root (FL) against ethanol (EtOH)/HCl-induced gastric ulcers in a rat model and
