Antioxidant and hepatoprotective effects of Oxalis corniculata against carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) induced injuries in rat
Many human diseases are caused due to oxidative stress involving excessive production of free radicals that can be ameliorated by the antioxidant activities of plant extracts. Present study was designed to characterize the chemical composition of Oxalis corniculata methanol extract (OCME) and its various fractions; O. corniculata n-hexane (OCHE), O. corniculataethyl acetate (OCEE), O....

The effect of TGF-β1 on the Bax in rats with hypoxic brain damage after surgical treatment of gliomatosis cerebri (HBD/GC)
The effect of transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF-β1) on Bax in rats with hypoxic brain damage after surgical treatment of gliomatosis cerebri (HBD/GC) were investigated. The SD rats were randomly divided into three groups: Sham control group, HBD/GC model group, HBD/GC + TGF-β1 injection treatment (E) group. The SD rats were treated in hypoxic environment after a surgical treatment of gliomatosis...

The role of intralesional Pingyangmycin in the treatment of nasal polyp in aged population
This study is to investigate the effect of intralesional Pingyangmycin injection in nasal polyp. 82 patients with nasal polyp were treated with intralesional Pingyangmycin injection from September 2001 to September 2006. After a minimum follow-up of 2 years, 67 patients (81.7%) developed 76 to 100% regression in their lesions; 17 patients (18.3%) had 51 to 75% regression in their lesions. No changes in renal function or...

Ephrin B3 (EphB3) receptors expressed in spinal tissue of rats with spinal cord injury
Ephrin (Eph) receptors are the largest family of receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) and their membrane bound ligands, The Eph plays an important role in formation of spines with normal morpholog and synaptic plasticity. However, the Eph receptors expression in spinal tissue with spinal cord injury (SCI) was unclear to have little regarding molecular studies; thus, the present study aims to...

Combination therapy with simvastatin and xuezhikang improves the lipid-lowering efficacy in hyperlipidemic rats
The objective of the present study was to investigate the effects of combination therapy with simvastatin and xuezhikang on the lipid-lowering efficacy and liver functions in hyperlipidemic rats. Forty (40) hyperlipidemic rats induced by feeding with high-fat diet for 6 weeks were randomly divided into four groups (n = 10), and treated with saline (10 ml/kg/d), simvastatin (12 mg/kg/d), xuezhikang (300 mg/kg/d) and...

Ab initio studies of single-wall carbon nanotube for drug delivery of (N-acetyl-L-cysteinato-O, S) diphenyl tin (IV) anticancer drug
Carbon nanotubes (CNT) have emerged as a new alternative and efficient tool for transporting and translocating therapeutic molecules. CNT can be attached to drugs, and used to deliver their cargos to cells and organs. In this work, the interaction behavior of the anticancer drug Sn(C6H5)2(N-acetyl-L-cysteinate) that is called (N-acetyl-Lcysteinato-O,S) diphenyl tin (IV) when binding single-walled carbon nanotubes was...
