  Introduction Piperine is a pungent alkaloid and accounts for 2–5% dry weight in black and white peppers (Butt et al., 2013). Physiological benefits of piperine have been a subject of extensive research in recent years. Piperine is an antioxidant with strong anti-inflammatory and antiangiogenic acti

  Patients and methods This study was performed at 3 academic centers (Chung-Ang University YongSan Hospital, Soonchunhyang University Hospital, and Chung-Ang University Hospital) in Seoul, Korea, from November 2008 to November 2010. The study protocol was approved by the institutional review boards

  2020-03-03

  

  TNF-α, a major cytokine that is critical in acute and chronic inflammation, is responsible from chemotaxis, acute phase reactions and endothelial activation (Mahalingam and Karupiah, 1999). Our study showed that TNF-α is increased significantly in the pyelonephritic rats and montelukast displayed an

  Effects of estrogen on vascular function Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory condition of the vascular wall (Figure 1) that can be converted to an acute clinical event by the induction of plaque rupture or erosion, leading to thrombosis [58]. This perpetuating process is characterized by ph

  In countries such as China where there is a high commercial production of rice, the use of rice husk ash (RHA) as an alternative cementing material can become a great asset for environmental rehabilitation and address the difficult disposal issues associated with this agricultural waste [23]. RHA po

  2020-03-03

  

  Epac proteins consist of a carboxyl-terminal catalytic region and an amino-terminal regulatory region, which harbors one cAMP-binding domain in Epac1 and two in Epac2 [22], [32], [51]. In the absence of cAMP, the regulatory region covers the CDC25-homology domain and autoinhibits Epac\'s enzymatic a

  At first, cartilage damage in osteoarthritis reflects the loss of proteoglycan and collagen network that increases the swelling of tissues. The incremented expression of DDR2 receptor has also co-related with the depletion of cartilage in surgically induced OA model [8]. Osteoarthritis, a degenerati

  The DDRs have also been shown to be regulators of certain immunological functions. DDR1 is expressed in stimulated peripheral blood mononuclear Asiatic acid (Kamohara et al., 2001) and on activated T cells (Chetoui et al., 2011, Hachehouche et al., 2010, Kamohara et al., 2001). DDR1 can mediate cel

  The AURA trial was a phase I/II study evaluating the safety, tolerability and activity of Osimertinib in patients with EGFR-mutated NSCLC progressing after a previous EGFR TKI. The phase I component of the study included a dose escalation part (Osimertinib 20mg to 240mg), using a rolling six design,

  Oysters belong to the second largest animal phylum Mollusca, and they are globally distributed aquaculture animals (Wang et al., 2018). A number of studies have demonstrated that oysters have evolved an integrated and complex innate immune system to recognize and eliminate various invaders. An arra

  The quantification and monitoring of ChEs enzymatic activities have traditionally been associated to environmental studies in order to diagnose the exposure of non-target organisms to specific anti-cholinesterasic agents (Nunes, 2011). The importance of these enzymes as biomarkers of environmental c

  The authentic PPase was purified from B. subtilis as described previously [21], whereas the recombinant enzyme was purified to homogeneity from E. coli by a simplified procedure including only phenyl-Sepharose CL-4B column chromatography and DEAE-HPLC [21]. About 26 mg of pure enzyme was obtained fr

  Emphysema is an important component of COPD, which is responsible for airflow limitation. In the present study, a significant airspace enlargement was observed 21 days after elastase administration. Interestingly, daily administration of olaparib provided greater protection against emphysema as comp
