Abstract Background and Aim: Curcumin, the major polyphenolic compound in turmeric, has been shown to attenuate hepatic damage several animal models of liver injury. The aim present study was examine efficacy curcumin preventing thioacetamide‐induced cirrhosis unravel mechanism curcumin's effect on fibrosis rats. Methods: Liver induced by thioacetamide (TAA; 200 mg/kg, i.p.) twice weekly for 12 weeks. One group rats concomitantly received (300 mg/kg/day, gavage weeks); control solvent at...
Increased production of reactive oxygen species and nitric oxide activation nuclear factor kappa B are implicated in the pathogenesis various liver diseases, including fulminant hepatic failure. Curcumin is a naturally occurring anti-oxidant that reduces oxidative stress inhibits formation. The aim present study to assess curcumin's therapeutic potential acute thioacetamide hepatotoxicity, rat model failure.Fulminant failure was induced by two intraperitoneal (i.p.) injections 300 mg/kg...

Pressure ulcers are an important source of morbidity and suffering for patients a formidable burden on caregivers.To assess the impact feeding formula enriched with fish oil healing preexisting pressure serum levels C-reactive protein in critical care patients.Adult grade II or higher were randomly allocated to receive either isocaloric control formula. Wound was assessed by using Ulcer Scale Healing tool days 7, 14, 28. Blood measured 0, 14.Baseline demographics did not differ between study...

The resolution of acute inflammation is hallmarked by the apoptotic death inflammatory polymorphonuclear (PMN) cells, followed their clearance macrophages. In turn, resolution-phase macrophages exert reduced proinflammatory cytokine production, termed immune silencing. this study, we found that atypical chemokine receptor D6 plays an important and scavenging-independent role in promoting macrophage-mediated resolution. D6(-/-) mice displayed increased numbers (2.2-fold increase), but not...
n -3 Fatty acids are recognised as influencing both wound healing and immunity. We assessed the impact of a fish oil- micronutrient-enriched formula (study formula) on pressure ulcers immune function in critically ill patients an intensive care unit. A total forty with receiving nutritional support were enrolled (intervention group, 20, received study formula; control isoenergetic formula). Total differential leucocyte count percentage adhesion molecule positive granulocyte lymphocyte cells...
Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) may be associated with a number of clinical conditions, but it occurs most commonly in patients insulin resistance. There is as yet no established disease-modifying treatment, and safe broadly available agent that targets hepatic steatosis, resistance, inflammation fibrosis necessary. The polyphenolic compound curcumin exhibits antioxidant anti-inflammatory properties, inhibits NF-κB activates PPAR-γ. In rodents, prevents dietary-induced stellate cell...
