Introduction:Amomum villosum Lour., a herbaceous plant in the ginger family, has been proven to be effective treating gastrointestinal diseases. It listed Chinese Pharmacopeia as legal source of Amomi Fructus. In our previous study, we demonstrated that treatment with extracts A. prevented development and progression intestinal mucositis. current aimed verify explain potential beneficial effects on inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Methods: The effect water (WEAV) volatile oil (VOAV) were...

Abstract Purpose: Esophageal cancer is one of the most aggressive and deadly forms cancer; highlighting need to identify biomarkers for early detection prognostic classification. Our recent studies have identified inflammatory gene microRNA signatures derived from tumor nontumor tissues as hepatocellular, lung, colorectal adenocarcinoma. Here, we examine relationship between expression these genes micro RNA (miRNA) in esophageal adenocarcinoma patient survival. Experimental Design: We...

Background . The dried mature fruit of Amomum villosum has been historically used in China as food and the auxiliary treatment digestive system disorders. Numerous studies have shown that gastrointestinal function is closely related to development nonalcoholic fatty liver disease via “gut-liver” axis. Objective present study aimed explore whether mechanism underlying regulation lipid accumulation (NAFLD) may affect disorders using active ingredients A. Design Male Sprague-Dawley rats on a...

To evaluate loss of imprinting (LOI) and expression the IGF2 gene in matched esophageal normal adenocarcinoma tissues, we studied a prospective cohort 77 patients who underwent resection between 1998 2003. status was determined by reverse transcription–polymerase chain reaction (PCR) following ApaI digestion, quantitative PCR used to expression, which correlated with clinicopathologic findings, disease-free overall survival. In total, 32% (14/44) informative tissues showed imprinting, strong...

The gut-liver axis is largely involved in the development of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). We investigated whether 2, 3, 5, 4'-tetrahydroxy-stilbene-2-O-β-D-glucoside (TSG) could reverse NAFLD induced by a high-fat diet (HFD) and it did so via axis. Results showed that TSG reduce accumulation FFA reducing expression L-FABP FATP4. regulated gut microbiota balanced increased protein ZO-1 occludin, which improve function intestinal mucosal barrier serum LPS content about 25%....

Polygonum multiflorum Radix (PMR) has long history in hair growth promotion and coloring clinical applications. However, several crucial problems its clinic usage mechanisms are still unsolved or lack scientific evidences. In this research, C57BL/6J mice were used to investigate activity possible mechanism of PMR Preparata (PMRP). Hair activities investigated by length, covered skin ratio, the number follicles, color. Regulation effects cytokines involved procedure tested, such as fibroblast...

Polygonum multiflorum is a traditional Chinese medicine with long history in hair growth promotion and blackening. The purpose of the study was to examine effect mechanism C57BL/6 mice fade induced H 2 O used this research. Hair pigmentogenesis activities Multiflorum Radix (PMR, raw crude drug), Preparata (PMRP, processed their major chemical constituent TSG were investigated. regulation effects several cytokines enzymes such as POMC, α -MSH, MC1R, ASIP, MITF, TYR, TRP-1, TRP-2 PMR group...

Objective: This study evaluates the clinical significance of p53 mutations in oesophageal adenocarcinoma (EADC). Methods: Between February 1991 and 2006, 142 consecutive patients with EADC underwent potentially curative resection. No patient received induction therapy. Strict clinicopathologic criteria were used to define primary (Type I), excluding gastric cardia II). Genomic DNA was extracted from tumours, each matched histologically normal epithelium (internal control) resection margin....

Raw and processed Radix Polygoni Multiflori have been used in the prevention treatment of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), hyperlipidemia, related diseases Asian counties for centuries. The lipid regulation ability raw Poligoni were compared high-fat diet fed rats this research.

We have tested an approach to identify putative cancer stem cells that involves measurement of the infrared absorption spectrum individual in aqueous environment, and their subsequent classification using multivariate data analysis techniques. Two primary esophageal cell lines were characterized: immortalized normal epithelial line, Het-1A, adenocarcinoma OE33. In addition, we also evaluated spheroids, reflecting stem-like populations, which derived from each parent line when grown...

Introduction. Raw and processed Notoginseng Radix Et Rhizome (NRR) have been widely used in treatment of metabolic syndromes related disease, including nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). This study was designed to investigate lipid regulation effects raw NRR steatotic L02 cell. Materials Methods. Steatotic cells were obtained after being cultured with 5% fat emulsion-10% FBS-RPMI 1640 medium for 48 h. Contents total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), free acid (FFA), high-density...
