Corydalis plants containing isoquinoline alkaloids are reported to possess promising phamacological properties for the treatment of important diseases including cancer, inflammation, Alzheimer's disease and microbial infections. As part of a wider program investigating Bhutanese medicinal plants,.we
Cardamom (Elettaria cardamomum) is a traditional aromatic plant for which several pharmacological properties have been associated. In this study, the antibacterial activity of two cardamom extracts (fruit and seeds), rich in volatile compounds, against major periodontal pathogens was evaluated.
We have identified various lactoferrin (Lf) molecules in mastitic mammary gland secretions (MGSs), and these Lf molecules were examined for their physiological function in MG. These Lf molecules were isolated by Con A affinity chromatography, and then analyzed by various electrophoresis methods and
The mouth cavity hosts many types of anaerobic bacteria, including Streptococcus mutans and Porphyromonas gingivalis, which cause periodontal inflammatory diseases and dental caries. The present study was conducted to evaluate the antibacterial potential of extracts of Robinia pseudoacacia and its
The consumption of plums in a fresh form is seasonal, therefore the transformation of plum juice extracts into powdered form is a good alternative for its longer availability throughout the year. The drying process can moderate the physical and chemical properties of the plum extracts, thus, this
Phloretin is a natural chalcone with antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects. This study investigated the anti-acne activity of phloretin against Propionibacterium acnes-induced skin infection and the potential target proteins of its anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effects. Phloretin
Differential diagnosis of asymptomatic bacteriuria (ASB) and urinary tract infection (UTI) is based on the presence of diverse symptoms, including fever (≥38.5°C), rigors, malaise, lethargy, flank pain, hematuria, suprapubic discomfort, dysuria, and urgent or frequent urination. There is consensus
Chronic pharyngitis is chronic inflammation that is often caused by repeated occurrences of acute pharyngitis or upper respiratory tract infections, including Streptococcus and Staphylococcus. The present study aimed to investigate the effects of Yanshu spraying agent (Yanshu) in relieving chronic
In the present study, an efficient synthesis of some new substituted pyrazoline derivatives linked to a substituted pyrazole scaffold was performed by a multistep reaction sequences and compounds were screened for their anti-inflammatory, analgesic and antibacterial activities. The preliminary
The aim of this study was to synthesize newer potent Schiff bases by condensing 2-amino-5-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)thiophene-3-carbonitrile and 1,3-disubstituted-1H-pyrazole-4-carbaldehydes, and to investigate their biological activity. The compounds were synthesized via Gewald synthesis and
The anti-inflammatory and antibacterial mechanisms of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) ameliorating lung injury in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) mice induced by cigarette smoke and Haemophilus Parainfluenza (HPi) were studied. The experiment was divided into four groups in
Systemic antibiotic therapy is the main treatment for acute bacterial rhinosinusitis (ABRS). However, this treatment often causes side effects of dizziness, diarrhea, and drug resistance. In this study, a new polyethylene glycol hydrogel (PEG-H) treatment model is developed to achieve sustained
Glycolic acid chemical peeling is effective for treating comedones, and some clinical data show that it also improves inflammatory eruptions. The purpose of this study was to identify the mechanism of glycolic acid chemical peeling to improve inflammatory acne. To assess growth inhibitory and
Since the recent publication of 3 studies on the use of antibacterials in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD), there has been a phenomenal interest in the role of infection in the genesis of CAD. It is now generally accepted that inflammation accompanies atherosclerosis from its initiation
The mammalian host response to infection includes the production and secretion of antimicrobial peptides from phagocytes and epithelial cells. Protegrins, a group of broadly microbicidal peptides isolated originally from porcine neutrophil lysates, were found to be stored as inactive proforms in
