Inducible nitrogen oxide synthase (iNOS) is the primary contributor of the overproduction of nitric oxide and its inhibitors have been actively sought as effective anti-inflammatory agents. In this study, we prepared 70% ethanol extracts from 81 Chinese herbs. These extracts were subsequently
Acorns play an important role in human history and are a source of food and recipes for many cultures around the world. In this study, eleven oleanolic triterpenes, one of which was novel, were isolated from Chinese acorns (Quercus serrata var. brevipetiolata). The chemical structure of the novel
OBJECTIVE
To study the clinical features of idiopathic orbital inflammatory pseudotumor (IOIP) in Chinese children.
METHODS
Pediatric patients with IOIP seen between Jan. 1, 1978 and Dec. 31, 1999 in the Eye Hospital, Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center, Sun Yat-sen University were evaluated
OBJECTIVE
Among Chinese immigrant populations, increasing duration of US residence is associated with elevated risk for various chronic diseases. Although life-style changes after migration have been extensively studied in immigrant populations, the psychosocial impact of acculturative stress on
Lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammation causes massive threatening diseases, such as sepsis, acute lung injury and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome. Efficient treatment to prevent inflammation is crucial in LPS-induced inflammatory diseases. Heat-clearing Chinese medicines (CMs) have been
Anti-inflammatory activities of ethanol extracts from nine vine plants used in traditional Chinese medicine to treat inflammatory conditions were evaluated against a panel of key enzymes relating to inflammation. The enzymes included cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1), cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), phospholipase
Accumulating epidemiological and clinical evidence shows that inflammation is an important risk factor for various human diseases. Thus, suppressing chronic inflammation has the potential to delay, prevent, and control various chronic diseases, including cerebrovascular, cardiovascular, joint, skin,
BACKGROUND
Health-related quality of life is an important outcome measure in inflammatory bowel disease. The Inflammatory Bowel Disease Questionnaire is a quality of life questionnaire that has not been validated previously in Chinese patients with inflammatory bowel disease.
OBJECTIVE
To develop
Inflammation is an important element of the pathophysiological process of heart failure (HF) and is correlated with subtypes of HF. The association between multiple biomarkers of inflammation and HF subtypes in Chinese subjects remains unclear. This study aimed to compare the Inflammation is associated with cancer development, and has been recognized as the seventh hallmarks of the cancer. Cancer-related inflammation can be activated by genetic or epigenetic changes in cancer cells (intrinsic pathway) or mediated by tumor-infiltrating immune cells (extrinsic pathway).
Microsomal prostaglandin E synthase-1 (mPGES-1) is the key enzyme for prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) generation during inflammation and is a potential target for designing anti-inflammatory drugs. Potential inhibitors of m-PGES-1 were selected from traditional Chinese medicine (TCM Database@Taiwan) based
BACKGROUND
Though inflammatory response is beneficial to body damage repair, if it is out of control, it can produce adverse effects on the body. Although purely western anti-inflammatory drugs, orthodox medicines, can control inflammation occurrence and development, it is not enough. The clinical
In this study, circulating levels of proinflammatory and anti-inflammatory mediators are studied in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) in China. Sixty-five patients with CHF and 32 control subjects are studied. The proinflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines interleukin (IL)-6, IL-10,
Increased oxidative stress induces inflammation to several tissues/organs leading to cell death and long-term injury. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) with antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-apoptotic, and autophagic regulatory functions has been widely used as preventive or therapeutic strategy
