OBJECTIVE
This study was designed to assess the anti-inflammatory effect of
Musa acuminata through the expression of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and nuclear factor kappa β (NF-κB) after 3 days of application of
Musa acuminata stem extract (MASE) gel on oral
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the leading causes of cancer death, and diet plays an important role in the etiology of CRC. Traditional medical practitioners in many South Asian countries use plantain inflorescence to treat various gastro-intestinal ailments. The aim of the present study was to
Matsumoto was the first to present the NIIC UltraSonic Aspirator for CT guided stereotactic aspiration of intracerebral hematoma. Based on the NIIC Aspirator, the authors have developed a useful tool for microsurgery by adapting conventional ultrasonic aspirators. This was done by making the
BACKGROUND
Abnormal angiogenesis and evasion of apoptosis are hallmarks of cancer. Accordingly, anti-angiogenic and pro-apoptotic therapies are effective strategies for cancer treatment. Medicinal plants, namely, Eugenia jambolana Lam. (Myrtaceae), Musa paradisiaca L. (Musaceae), and Coccinia indica
BACKGROUND
Glucose uptake study plays a major role in diabetes research. Impaired glucose uptake has been implicated in the development of hyperglycemia during diabetes. Banana plant is known for its anti-diabetic properties and our earlier report revealed that banana flower and pseudostem of Musa
A homodimeric, fructose-binding lectin was isolated from Del Monte bananas by using a protocol that involved ion-exchange chromatography on DEAE-cellulose and SP-Sepharose, and gel filtration by fast protein liquid chromatography on Superdex 75. Not only fructose, but also glucose, mannose, rhamnose
Resistant starch (RS) is not completely digested in the human intestine and it´s fermented in the colon, intestinal pH decreases, as short-chain fatty acids are produced. This being beneficial for health, preventing and treating rectal colon cancer. Pyrodextrinization and enzymatic Aim was to assess the diagnostic value of the alarm symptoms (AS's) in subjects with constipation based on prospective examination of adult population.
METHODS
Data was collected from 1189 randomly selected subjects older than 18 y.o. we used specially designed Questionnaire, which included
METHODS
Chronic UVB exposure causes skin disorders and cancer through DNA strand breaks and oxidation of numerous functional groups of proteins and lipids in the skin. In this study, we investigated the effects of Thai banana (Musa AA group, "Khai," and Musa ABB group, "Namwa") on the prevention of
Musa cavendish, commonly known as banana, is a fruit with nutritional and therapeutic properties. We investigated the chemical composition and in vitro cytotoxic effect of M. cavendish green peel extract (MHE) on cancer cells for the first time. The compounds characterization was performed by
The MUSA (Morphological Uterus Sonographic Assessment) statement is a consensus statement on terms, definitions and measurements that may be used to describe and report the sonographic features of the myometrium using gray-scale sonography, color/power Doppler and three-dimensional ultrasound
Lifestyle and nutritional changes have contributed much to the somatic genetic changes which have concurrently led to an increase cancer in humans. Hence the plant-based and nutritional involvements block oncogenic transformation are in good demand. We evaluate Phloem exudates of the dietary plant,
The distribution and sources of PAHs in jinga shrimp (Metapenaeus affinis), and human health risks due to consumption was evaluated in collected samples from the Musa Bay, Persian Gulf. The total concentration of PAHs (∑16PAHs) ranged from 10 to 144 μg kg-1 dry weight, indicating low to
BACKGROUND
Skin forms an important part of human innate immune system. Wrinkles, thinning and roughening of skin are some of the symptoms that affect the skin as it ages. Reactive oxygen species induced oxidative stress plays a major role in skin aging by modulating the elastase enzyme level in the
Pectin and its several modified forms have shown remarkable impact in therapeutic use against various cancers. In the present study, pectin, an anionic polysaccharide isolated from Musa paradisiaca is employed for the synthesis of gold nanoparticles at ambient temperature conditions. The synthesized
