We determined the effect on exercise tolerance and physiological responses of rigorous rehabilitative training in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Fifteen men 10 women (mean age, 68 +/- 6 yr; FEV1, 0.93 0.27 L) participated a rehabilitation program with an component three per week 45-min sessions cycle ergometer for wk intensity kept near maximal targets. Before after rehabilitation, patients performed incremental test constant work rate (CWR) at 80% peak preprogram test....
Dehydroandrographolide succinic acid monoester (DASM) is the dehydroan-drographolyl ester of acid; and andrographolide, from which DASM made, major diterpenoid lactone found in Chinese medicinal herb, Andrographis paniculata. has been to be an inhibitor against human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) vitro. It was nontoxic H9 cell at concentrations 50–200 (average, 108) μg/ml inhibitory HIV-1 (IIIB) minimal concentration 1.6–3.1 (average 2.0) μg/ml. also two other strains a strain HIV-2. This...
<h3>Background</h3> 'Mules' or body packers are people who transport illegal drugs by packet ingestion into the gastrointestinal tract. These otherwise healthy and their management should maintain minimal morbidity. In this study, experience with is presented an algorithm for conservative surgical provided. <h3>Methods</h3> The clinical patient database all packer admissions at Mary Immaculate Hospital of Caritas Health Care Inc. from 1993 to 2005 was interrogated. 56 patients (4.5%)...
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), the accepted cause of infectious mononucleosis (IM), has been associated with a variety neurologic disorders including encephalitis, aseptic meningitis, transverse myelitis, Guillain-Barré syndrome, and Bell's Palsy.1,2 These syndromes may occur as sole manifestation EBV infection or together more typical clinical features IM. It is unclear whether central nervous manifestations result from direct invasion system by indirect mechanism. This report describes...
X-Ray crystallography and 500 MHz proton NMR spectroscopy have been used to investigate the conformations of four diterpenoid lactones isolated from extracts shrub Andrographis paniculata. The crystal structure neoandrographolide (2) was refined using a blocked-diagonal least squares technique with 340 parameters 2018 reflections yield an R value 0.049. Full-matrix least-squares refinement for 14-deoxyandrographolide (3) 102 893 yielded 0.083. spectra andrographolide (1), neoandrographolide,...
Abstract Four new sesquiterpenoids, 1,4‐ trans ‐6‐hydroxyisocalamenene; ‐6‐methoxyisocalamenene; (+)‐aristol‐9‐en‐ 12β‐ol, and eudesm‐4(15)‐en‐6β‐acetoxy‐7β‐ol, were isolated from Bazzania tridens , a liverwort species. Their structures identified by means of spectroscopic methods. The two isocalamenenes are derived methyl rearrangement the calamenene skeleton.
Although biologiocal ancillay materials (AMs) have specific risk associated with their derivations, it plays key role to manufature cell and gene therapy (CGT) products. It is important understand the regulation relevant AMs for developers.The authors investigated guidelines pharmacopeia (hereinafter referred as "guidelines") biological used manufacture of CGT products in Asia (China, India, Japan, Korea Taiwan). In addition, benchmarked United States (US) European Union (EU).The could be...
The frequency of oropharyngeal excreters the Epstein-Barr virus among patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma in Hong Kong was compared those healthy adults and California. 6 (3%) 177 patients, 11 (12%) 92 residents, 20 (15%) 132 Californians were excreters. detected secretion only 1 67 2 73 adults. No convincing evidence for neutralizing antibody throat wash secretions could be obtained. viral gene sequencing not washes from 27 carcinoma, 8 infectious mononucleosis, 15 35 17 controls. We...
Abstract A patient with long‐standing chronic lymphocytic leukemia both humoral and cellular immunodeficiency had lymph node receptor evidence of a B lymphocyte disorder. He was also found to secrete the Epstein–Barr virus and, late in his illness, developed markedly positive antinuclear antibody. Interrelationship these findings may be important ultimate determination etiology functional mechanisms malignancies.
