cellulose/diarrhea

Using a single-group time-series design, we determined that osmotic diarrhea caused by maltitol ingestion was suppressed by the addition of not only soluble but also insoluble dietary fiber in healthy humans. We then clarified that cellulose delayed gastric emptying in rats. Twenty-seven healthy

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is an inherited cutaneous inflammatory condition which may affect 10% of infants. Persons with this diathesis are more susceptible to irritants and to superficial infections. Little is known about diaper rash and diapering materials in AD. In this study we set firm criteria to

Although cellulose is generally considered not to affect the viscosity of the digesta in the upper gastrointestinal tract, we found previously that the ingestion of cellulose elevated the viscosity of the gastric, small intestinal, and cecal contents when particulate matter was included in the

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy and safety of wheat cellulose particles (testa triticum tricum purify, Fiberform) in the treatment of internal hemorrhoid. METHODS A multicenter randomized controlled clinical trial was adopted. From October 2015 to July 2016, 60 patients with internal hemorrhoid

Infants and toddlers in day-care centers have a relatively high frequency of diarrhea and/or oral antibiotic use, and may be at increased risk of developing diaper dermatitis when diapered. A six-month, prospective, double-blind study was conducted in day-care centers in Houston, Texas, to determine

OBJECTIVE A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled multicenter study to evaluate efficacy and safety of a mixture of non-digestible carbohydrates (NDC) as an adjunct to oral rehydration therapy in treatment of acute infectious diarrhea in children with mild to moderate dehydration. METHODS 144

The reverse plaque formation (RPF) method with a semi-micro plate was applied to the titration of a non-cytopathogenic (non-CP) strain of bovine viral diarrhea-mucosal disease (BVD-MD) virus. All the five non-CP strains used in this experiment formed reverse plaques (RP) on bovine testicle cell

Cellulose-based nanoparticles were prepared from oppositely charged carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) and quaternized cellulose (QC) in an aqueous medium. The DNA complexing capacity of CMC-QC nanoparticles and the transfection efficiency of the DNA-loaded nanoparticles in COS-7 cells were first

OBJECTIVE To study the efficacy and safety of cellulose for the treatment of functional constipation in children. METHODS A prospective, self-controlled, clinical trial using cellulose was conducted for 2 weeks in 34 children with functional constipation. The constipation symptoms and the

Ethnopharmacological relevance: The dry overground parts of Pogostemon cablin (Blanco) Benth. is widely used in China as a traditional Chinese medicine for the treatment of diarrhea, vomiting, nausea and fever. Polysaccharide is an important component of Pogostemon

Blindness is caused by eye pathogens that include a free-living protist (Acanthamoeba castellanii, A. byersi, and/or other Acanthamoeba spp.), a fungus (Fusarium solani), and a bacterium (Chlamydia trachomatis). Hand-eye contact is likely a contributor to the spread of these pathogens, and so hand

The catalytic A subunit of cholera toxin (CT-A) is capable of ADP-ribosylating the guanine nucleotide-binding protein, which regulates cell adenylyl cyclase, leading to the life-threatening diarrhea of cholera. Amino acids involved in the enzymatic activity of CT-A have previously been identified.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the acute toxicity of oral exposure to nanoscale zinc powder in mice. The healthy adult male and female mice were gastro-intestinally administered at a dose of 5 g/kg body weight with two size particles, nanoscale zinc (N-Zn) and microscale zinc (M-Zn)
