Organic extracts representing 48 species included in 30 families of Costa Rican tropical plants were evaluated for their ability to neutralize hemorrhagic activity induced by the venom of the snake Bothrops asper. A bioassay in mice was used, based on intradermal injection of either venom or
Mallotus repandus (M. repandus) is traditionally used to treat muscle pain, itching, fever, rheumatic arthritis, and a variety of liver disorders. The aim of the present work was to evaluate the hepatoprotective activity and the antioxidant potential of the ethyl acetate stem extract
BACKGROUND
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is one of the most prevalent neurodegenerative disorders characterized by neuronal loss in the brain and cognitive impairment. AD is now considered to be the third major cause of death in developed countries, after cardiovascular disease and cancer. Persimmon
BACKGROUND
Adhesives are commonly used to improve the retention of a facial prosthesis to the skin. Although no requirement exists for facial prosthetic adhesives, an adhesive should be nonirritating and nontoxic.
OBJECTIVE
This study assessed the irritative potential of facial prosthetic adhesives
Technetium-99m ethyl cysteinate dimer (ECD) has recently developed for SPECT imaging in assessment of cerebral perfusion. We evaluated the arterial blood clearance and the regional brain uptake of Tc-99m ECD compared with the regional CBF measured by PET in patients with cerebrovascular disease.
BACKGROUND
Surgical tumor resection is the main treatment for tumors however the treatment process often results in massive bleeding and tumor cell residue. The main aim of this research was to address problems such as bleeding, systemic chemotherapy side effects while enhancing quality of life, and
A dermatitis characterised by discrete, raised, plaque-like and cracked skin lesions of variable sizes on the udder, the hind quarters, the lips and muzzle of all the cows in a herd was suspected of being caused by the oat straw used in bedding, after initial feed analysis and skin culture were
An assay method has been developed for the determination of the combined concentration of nitrosobenzene plus phenylhydroxylamine (as nitrosobenzene) in small volumes of blood. The initial step in the procedure consisted of the simultaneous oxidation of phenylhydroxylamine to nitrosobenzene and of
A simple procedure for the determination of chlorophacinone in human serum by high-performance liquid chromatography is reported. After addition of a suitable internal standard, unknown samples were extracted at acid pH with ethyl acetate. The reconstituted methanolic extract was directly injected
OBJECTIVE
Benzodiazepines are frequently screened drugs in emergency toxicology, drugs of abuse testing, and in forensic cases. As the variations of benzodiazepines concentrations in biological samples during bleeding, postmortem changes, and redistribution could be biasing forensic medicine
Sophora flavescens is a Chinese medicinal herb used for the treatment of gastrointestinal hemorrhage, skin diseases, pyretic stranguria and viral hepatitis. In this study the herb-drug interactions between S. flavescens and indinavir, a protease inhibitor for HIV treatment, were evaluated in rats.
The ethyl acetate extract of an endophyte Epicoccum sorghinum exhibited anti-inflammatory activity at a concentration of <10 μg/mL. By bioassay-guided fractionation, one new compound, named epicorepoxydon A (1), and one unusual bioactive compound,
Abelmoschus moschatus Medik. (family: Malvaceae) has a long history of being used as a folk medicine in Sri Lanka. Despite the therapeutic use of this plant in traditional medicine, leaves of A. moschatus have not been subjected to scientific evaluation of toxicity/adverse effects
