Cystic fibrosis and an unfinished life.

The role of Physalis peruviana (golden berry) as functional food against hepato-renal fibrosis induced by carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) was evaluated. The chemical composition of leaves referred the presence of withanolides and flavonoids. Two compounds, ursolic acid and lupeol, were isolated and

BACKGROUND Rumex hastatus leaves have been widely used as food additive and for the treatment of various liver ailments. According to our previous studies, ethyle acetate (ERL) and methanolic (MRL) fractions of R. hastatus leaves are an accessible source of natural antioxidants. In the present

Excess collagen deposition occurs in pulmonary fibrosis. A new study suggests that collagen overproduction may originate from cells derived from bone marrow precursors rather than parenchymal lung fibroblasts.

Chronic airway infection plays an essential role in the progress of cystic fibrosis (CF) lung disease. In the past decades, mainly bacterial pathogens, such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa, have been the focus of researchers and clinicians. However, fungi are frequently detected in CF airways and there is

A 62-year old farmer woman from the northeastern, very rainy part of Turkey has been collecting large amounts of green and brown involucral hazel-nut leaves for subsequent use as fuel. For the last 20 years she had been complaining of cough, respiratory distress and intermittent fever. In the course

BACKGROUND In the present study the antioxidant potential of a methanol extract of Phyllanthus emblica leaves (PELE) was determined by in vitro methods as well as by an in vivo animal model, along with HPLC-DAD screening for phyto-constituents. METHODS The in vitro antioxidant potential of PELE was

UNASSIGNED Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is associated with increased levels of circulating growth factors and corresponding receptors, such as PDGF, FGF and VEGF. Nintedanib, a tyrosine kinase inhibitor targeting primarily these receptors, is approved for the treatment of patients with

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of Ginkgo biloba leaves extract on experimental liver fibrosis induced by thioacetamide (TAA) in male albino mice. The experimental mice were divided into four groups. The mice of the first group were served as control. The experimental animals

The current study was undertaken to evaluate the protective activity of olive and rosemary leaves extracts on experimental liver cirrhosis induced by thioacetamide (TAA) in Wistar male rats. Highly significant decline in the values of body weight gain and highly statistically increase of liver/body

BACKGROUND Pulmonary fibrosis is a devastating disease without effective treatment. Rosemary is appreciated since ancient times for its medicinal properties, while biomolecules originated from the plant have an antioxidant and antifibrotic effect. OBJECTIVE The effects of Rosmarinus officinalis L.

Glycyrrhiza uralensis is the major plant source of licorice. This study was to identify bioactive compounds from the plant's leaves in order to make better use of its aerial part. An ethanol extract of the leaves was subjected to repeated chromatography to yield 15 compounds. The structures were

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effect of hydroalcoholic crude extract (HCE) from Chenopodium ambrosioides leaves on the development of type II collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) and on pro-inflammatory cytokine balance. METHODS Collagen-induced arthritis was induced in DBA1/J mice. On the 21st day, the

Over a period of 1 year, 11 on 23 CF adolescent or adult patients were referred to the childpsychiatrist (CP) for psychological problems and a notice of total dependency of their parents. The approach of the CP was systematic and family oriented. We noticed that on 11 patients only 6 came to the
