Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has a poor prognosis and low survival rate. Drugs without side effects are desperately needed since chemotherapy negative effect on the host cells. Previous research firmly established that plant-based compounds have significant bioactivities impact host. Flavonoids, in particular, class of with both anti-inflammatory anti-cancer properties. Prunetrin (PUR) is glycosyloxyisoflavone (Prunetin 4'-O-glucoside) derived from Prunus sp., its other form, called...

Experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) in Lewis rats is an acute monophasic paralytic central nervous system disease, which most spontaneously recover from paralysis.EAE induced by encephalitogenic antigens, including myelin basic protein.EAE mediated CD4 + Th1 cells, secrete pro-inflammatory mediators, and spontaneous recovery regulatory T cells.Recently, it was established that classically activated macrophages (M1 phenotype) play important role the initiation of EAE, while...

Dermatitis is an inflammatory condition of the outer layer skin that causes itching, blisters, redness, swelling, and often exudation, scabs, peeling. Among them, purulent inflammation a symptom occurs on appears in form boils acne. Various studies are being conducted to treat these diseases. Accordingly, Lonicera japonica Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium Polyphenolic Extract (LCPE), which uses herbal preparations such as japonica, Pericarpium, Glycyrrhiza uralensis, has been used suppress...

Schwann cells (SCs), which form the peripheral myelin sheath, have unique ability to dedifferentiate and destroy sheath under various demyelination conditions. During SC dedifferentiation-associated (SAD) in Wallerian degeneration (WD) after axonal injury, SCs exhibit junctional instability, down-regulation of gene expression autophagic breakdown. However, inflammatory demyelinating neuropathy (IDN), it is still unclear how react contribute segmental before scavengers, macrophages, are...

Melatonin (N-acetyl-5-methoxytryptamine), a pineal neurohormone, is hydroxyl radical scavenger and antioxidant, plays an important role in the immune system. We studied effect of exogenous melatonin on pathogenesis experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE). EAE was induced Lewis rats by immunization with rat spinal cord homogenates. Subsequent oral administration at 5 mg/kg significantly reduced clinical severity paralysis compared vehicle alone (p<0.01). Infiltration ED1+ macrophages...

Epidemiologic research recommends using flavonoids in the diet due to their overall health benefits. Apigetrin (Apigenin 7-O-glucoside) is a glycoside phytonutrient found fruits and vegetables known for different biological activities such as antioxidant anti-inflammatory properties. Hepatocellular cancer (HCC) major concern because of its adverse prognosis side effects chemotherapeutic agents. In present study, we determine impact apigetrin on HepG2 cells cell death mechanism. reduced...

Alpha-melanocyte stimulating hormone (α-MSH) is a that stimulates the formation of melanin, which responsible for protecting skin from UV rays. However, excessive production melanin causes pigmentation, leading to disorders, such as melasma and freckles. Using phage display technology, we screened modified hagfish VLRB (α-MSH target binding polypeptide) library polypeptides recognize α-MSH. This was expressed in E. coli produce proteins specifically bind In this study, investigated effect...
