Inflammation is a crucial response to harmful stimuli, but its chronic activation contributes various diseases, including inflammatory bowel disease, osteoarthritis, and neurological disorders. While nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are widely used as anti-inflammation drugs, their extended usage often results in severe side effects, emphasizing the need for safer alternatives. Therefore, it of greatest importance identify discover new agents that exhibit reduced incidence adverse...

Until recently, no single, universally accepted surgical method has existed for all types of concealed penis repairs. We describe a new technique repairing by using an advanced musculocutaneous scrotal flap.From January 2010 to June 2014, we evaluated 12 patients (12-40 years old) with penises who were surgically treated flap after degloving through ventral approach. All the scheduled regular follow-up at 6, 12, and 24 weeks postoperatively. The satisfaction grade penile size, morphology,...

We evaluated effects of on function rat model ED.Male Sprague-Dawley rats (6 weeks old) were divided into normal control, high-fat cholesterol diet (HFC), HFC treatment (HFC + KH) groups (n = 12 each). Normal...

Abstract Aims To determine whether cyanidin‐3‐ O ‐β‐ D ‐glucopyranoside (C3G) fraction from mulberry fruit pigment has protective effects against bladder dysfunction on streptozotocin‐induced diabetic rats Methods Sprague–Dawley were divided into three groups (n = 12 in each): normal, diabetes (DM), and DM treated with C3G (DM + C3G). The received a single injection of streptozotocin (50 mg/kg) intraperitoneally. Four weeks after the induction diabetes, group was daily oral (10 dissolved...

<b><i>Objective:</i></b> The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect cyanidin-3-O-β-<i>D</i>-glucopyranoside (C3G) concentrated materials from mulberry fruit on improvement and protection erectile function. <b><i>Materials Methods:</i></b> Sprague-Dawley rats (12 weeks old) were divided into three groups (n = 12 in each): normal control, diabetes mellitus (DM), DM with C3G material treatment (DM + C3G). group received a single...

Seoritae is a type of black soybean that known to have health-promoting effects due its high isoflavone and anthocyanin contents. We evaluated whether extract (SE) had beneficial on the reduction prostate weight in rat model benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). BPH was induced by intramuscular injections testosterone enanthate once week for 5 weeks Sprague-Dawley rats, rats were treated with or without daily oral doses SE during induction. After weeks, oxidative stress (superoxide dismutase...

To evaluate the anti-apoptotic effect of antioxidant reaction anthocyanin on prostate in an andropause animal model.Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into three groups (n=12 each): control (Group I), II), treated with III). For induction andropause, Group II and III underwent bilateral orchiectomy. was daily oral (160 mg/kg) for 8 weeks. After weeks, sacrificed their blood prostates examined pathohistologically evaluated oxidative stress apoptosis. Oxidative assessed by activity superoxide...

The increasing global population and growing necessity for sustainable food production, cultured meat production has emerged as a promising technology. However, its successful requires edible food-grade scaffolds reduced costs. In this study we determined the feasibility of eggshell membrane (ESM) natural scaffold. We optimized an efficient ESM extraction method storage temperature with high cell attachment efficiency. assessed maintenance, differentiation proliferation bMuSCs on culture...

Stenoses of internal pudendal arteries (IPAs) appear to be related erectile dysfunction (ED). Nevertheless, the correlation between severity ED and stenosis IPAs is not well established.To evaluate angiographic findings in patients with suspected coronary artery disease (CAD) assess IPA stenosis.Ninety-one who were scheduled for cardiac angiogram (CAG) because CAD participated. was assessed using International Index Erectile Function (IIEF) questionnaire. function (EF) domain scoring used...
