calamus axillaris/edema

The extracts obtained from 14 plants of the Mexican medicinal flora were assessed for anti-inflammatory activity by carrageenan-induced rat paw edema model. The i.p. administration of the extracts at a dose of 400 mg/kg produced a high reduction of edema with 70% of the plant extracts. Oenothera

Multiple benign and malign intra- and extramammary diseases may induce a symptomatic oedema of the breast. 10 similar roentgenograms, which show an oedematous imbibition of the mammary corpus, were selected from a total of 3452 radiographs of the breast. Patients with representative findings, due to

The group comprises 50 intrauterine transfusions in 15 patients with a severe form of foetal erythroblastosis. The authors describe the results and complications in hydropic and non-hydropic foetuses, diagnosed by ultrasound before transfusion treatment was started. In the group of non-hydropic

The biological activity of Wercklea insignis (WI) in inflammation and the underlying mechanisms of action of extracts of this plant are largely unknown. In the present study, we investigated the effects of a WI methanolic extract on lipopolysaccharide-stimulated inflammation in the mouse macrophage

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are involved in the pathophysiology of several health disorders, among others inflammation. Polyphenols may modulate ROS related disorders. In this work, thirty-two phenolic compounds were tentatively identified in a leaf extract from Eugenia supra-axillaris Spring. ex

A pectic polysaccharide was isolated from the rhizomes of Acorus calamus L. The main component of its carbohydrate chain was represented by residues of D-galacturonic acid (>85%). In addition, this polysaccharide contained residues of galactose, arabinose, xylose and rhamnose (<10%). Structural

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the toxicity of chicken calamus keratin (CCK) conduit as a tissue-engineered scaffold material. METHODS The chemical composition of the leaching solution of CCK was determined by means of ultraviolet spectrometry, and the toxic effects of the solution was evaluated by skin
