We previously demonstrated that curcumin, a well-known antioxidant, inhibits collagen deposition in carbon tetrachloride-induced liver injury rats. The major effector cells responsibleforcollagensynthesis the are activated hepatic stellate cells. In this study,we investigated inhibitory effects of curcumin on synthesis and activation rat in-vitro, cell in-vivo. production smooth muscle alpha-actin proteins alpha1(I) mRNA were studied in-vivo in-vitro. effect DNA was also determined In-vivo,...
Butein is known to be the major component of bark Rhus verniciflua Stokes (Anacardiaceae). The aim this work was investigate effects butein on liver fibrosis induced by carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) in rats, and explore its antifibrogenic mechanism. (10 mg/kg/day or 25 mg/kg/day) showed a significant reduction hydroxyproline malondialdehyde levels rats. expression α1(I) collagen tissue inhibitor metalloproteinase-1 (TIMP-1) mRNAs clearly reduced dose-dependent manner rats given compared with...
Abstract: We have studied the inhibitory effect of aloe emodin on hepatic stellate cells activation and proliferation, as these play a key role in pathogenesis fibrosis. Rat were activated by contact with plastic dishes, resulting their transformation into myofibroblast‐like cells. Primary exposed to (1–10 μg/ml). Possible cytotoxic effects measured hepatocytes using 3‐(4,5‐dimethylthiazol‐2‐yl)‐2,5‐diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. The production type I collagen smooth muscle cell...

Abstract We have previously reported that tetrandrine reduced hepatic stellate cell activation and collagen accumulation in liver fibrosis induced by biliary obstruction. In the present study, we examined apoptosis‐inducing effect of on activated cells, as therapeutic goal is to eliminate cells apoptosis. used rat transformed Simian virus 40 (T‐HSC/Cl‐6) overcome limitations inherent studying primary cultures cells. Tetrandrine treatment at doses 25 50 µg/ml for 12 h apoptosis confirmed DNA...
This study describes a systematic and efficient point-of-care home hospice information system, which can effectively manage patient easily be incorporated into service using wired and/or wireless communications mobile computing technology. To help with the design of portable we analyzed services provided by visiting nurses opinions users, based on 2005 Guidelines for Cancer Patient Management Program Ministry Health Welfare Korea. We performed trial three experienced nurses. A nurse use PDA,...
Hepatic stellate cells play a key role in the pathogenesis of hepatic fibrosis. In this study, we investigate inhibitory effect butein on activation and proliferation rat primary cultured cells. Possible cytotoxic effects were measured hepatocytes using 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. The production collagen smooth muscle alpha-actin proteins examined at same concentration, by western blot. alpha1(I) collagen, tissue inhibitor metalloproteinase-1,...
