Heat stress proteins (HSPs), in particular HSP72, seem to play a major role in cell protection against lethal stresses such as hyperthermia or ischemia. HSP synthesis is negatively regulated by protein phosphatases, which are implicated in dephosphorylation processes. In the present study, we have

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disease and a common cause of dementia, manifesting as progressive memory loss and cognitive decline. Moscatilin, which reportedly reduces fever and is anti-inflammatory, is the bibenzyl extract from Dendrobium loddigesii. This study aimed to

High intracellular levels of heat shock proteins and enhanced protein glycosylation are two phenomena closely associated with the cellular stress response. GP50 is the major heat-induced glycoprotein in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells; however, GP50 is not well characterized, and its function is

OBJECTIVE This investigation was undertaken in response to an outbreak of suspected shellfish poisoning in Zhejiang Province, China. The objectives of this project were to confirm the outbreak and to identify the aetiology, source and mode of transmission. METHODS A probable case was defined as an

Picroliv, an iridoid glycoside derived from the plant Picrorhiza kurroa, is used traditionally to treat fever, asthma, hepatitis, and other inflammatory conditions. However, the exact mechanism of its therapeutic action is still unknown. Because nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) activation plays a
