mannose/fatigue

Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is a severe disease characterized by various symptoms of immune dysfunction. CFS onset is typically with an infection and many patients suffer from frequently recurrent viral or bacterial infections. Immunoglobulin and mannose binding lectin (MBL) deficiency are

Complement activation resulting in significant increases of C4a split product may be a marker of postexertional malaise in individuals with chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS). This study focused on identification of the transcriptional control that may contribute to the increased C4a in CFS subjects

OBJECTIVE Herba Epimedii is one of the famous Traditional Chinese Medicines used to treat the chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS). The polysaccharides are the main active components in H. epimedii. The aim of this study is to discover the therapeutic effect and metabolic mechanism of H. epimedii

A polysaccharide was obtained from Lepidium meyenii Walp by hot water extraction and purification by Millipore (100 kD) and Sephadex G-200. The content of polysaccharide was examined to be 89.9% with phenol-sulfuric acid method. Its average molecular weight was estimated to be 2.213 × 106 Da by High

The aim of this study was to evaluate the spatial structure and potential antifatigue activity of polysaccharide fractions which was extracted from Inonotus obliquus. The first polysaccharide fractions of Inonotus obliquus (PIO-1) were obtained after hot-water extraction and purification by DEAE

The shiitake polysaccharides were obtained from shiitake mushroom. Four fractions were isolated from the polysaccharides using a Sephadex G-100 gel column. Chemical components of the two main fractions were determined by thin layer chromatography (TLC), and high performance liquid chromatography

Unlike mucocutaneous infections, disseminated herpes simplex virus infections are rare and often fatal owing to acute liver failure (ALF). Typically, the course of the disease is rapid and the lack of specific symptoms may result in delay in diagnosis. This study reports a case of genital herpes

A postsynaptic dysfunction of the neuromuscular junction has been reported in patients with alpha-dystroglycanopathy associated with mutations in guanosine diphosphate (GDP)-mannose pyrophosphorylase B gene (GMPPB), some of whom benefit from symptomatic treatment. In this study, we determine the

Until recently, there was no specific therapy available for patients with Gaucher's disease. Since April 1991 a highly purified human placental preparation of glucocerebrosidase (Ceredase, Genzyme) has been available for clinical studies in Germany. Sequential deglycosylation of the native enzyme

To assess the efficacy and tolerability of D-mannose-containing product (Cystoman(®)) in preventing recurrence in patients who underwent surgical treatment for infection related urinary stones. From January 2011 to February 2013 we have enrolled all consecutive patients affected by staghorn calculi

GDP-mannose pyrophosphorylase B (GMPPB) related phenotype spectrum ranges widely from congenital myasthenic syndrome (CMS), limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2T (LGMD 2T) to severe congenital muscle-eye-brain syndrome. Our study investigates the clinicopathologic
