Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a common allergic skin disease, characterized by dryness, itchiness, thickening and inflammation of the skin. Infiltration eosinophils into dermal layer presence edema are typical characteristics in biopsy AD patients. Previous vitro clinical studies showed that Pentaherbs formula (PHF) consisting five traditional Chinese herbal medicines, Flos Lonicerae, Herba Menthae, Cortex Phellodendri, Moutan Rhizoma Atractylodis at w/w ratio 2:1:2:2:2 exhibited therapeutic...
Abstract The treatment of atopic dermatitis (AD) has long been viewed as a problematic issue by the medical profession. Although wide variety complementary therapies have introduced, they fail to combine skin moisturizing and drug supply for AD patients. This study reports development thermo-sensitive Poloxamer 407/Carboxymethyl cellulose sodium (P407/CMCs) composite hydrogel formulation with twin functions moisture treatment. It was found that presence CMCs can appreciably improve physical...
Dozens of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) formulas have been used for promotion "blood production" centuries, and we are interested in developing novel thrombopoietic medicines from these TCMs. Our previous studies demonstrated the hematopoietic effects DangGui BuXue Tong (DBT), a formula composed Radix Angelicae Sinensis Astragali animal cellular models. As step further to identify characterize active chemical components DBT, tested particularly, polysaccharide-enriched fractions root...
Background Chlorhexidine (CHX) is a widely used antimicrobial agent in dentistry. Herein, we report the synthesis of novel mesoporous silica nanoparticle-encapsulated pure CHX (Nano-CHX), and its mechanical profile properties against oral biofilms. Methodology/Principal Findings The release from Nano-CHX was characterized by UV/visible absorption spectroscopy. were evaluated both planktonic biofilm modes representative pathogenic bacteria. demonstrated potent antibacterial effects on...
The rhizome of Curcuma longa (turmeric) is often used in Asia as a spice and medicine. Its most well-studied component, curcumin, has been shown to exhibit poor bioavailability animal studies clinical trials. We hypothesized that the presence lipophilic components (e.g., turmerones) turmeric extract would affect absorption curcumin. effects turmerones on curcumin transport were evaluated human intestinal epithelial Caco-2 cells. roles P-glycoprotein (P-gp) activities mRNA expression also...
