OBJECTIVE Metastatic breast cancer (MBC) remains an incurable disease despite major therapeutic advances. Pseudomonas aeruginosa-mannose-sensitive hemagglutinin (PA-MSHA) has been established to have anti-proliferative effects against breast cancer cells in preclinical experiments, and is indicated

We report the case of a patient with carbohydrate-deficient glycoprotein syndrome type Ib who developed normally until 3 months of age, when she was referred to the hospital for evaluation of hypoglycemia that was found to be related to hyperinsulinism. She also had vomiting episodes, hepatomegaly,

Acemannan, the USAN-accepted name for long-chain polydispersed beta-(1,4)-acetylated polymannose with interspersed 0-acetyl groups with a mannose monomer/acetyl ratio of approximately 1:1 and extracted from Aloe vera (barbadensis Miller), was administered as a 1.0 mg/ml solution to mice, rats and

Forty-one sporadic cases of non-O group 1 Vibrio cholerae gastroenteritis were detected in Orán, Salta, between February 1992 and February 1995. The frequency of isolation was 0.9% of the diarrhea cases. Out of 41 patients, 21 (51.2%) were older than 15 years and 25 (60.9%) were male. All the

Carbohydrate deficient glycoprotein syndromes (CDGS) are inherited disorders in glycosylation. Isoelectric focusing of serum transferrin is used as a biochemical indicator of CDGS; however, this technique cannot diagnose the molecular defect. Even though phosphomannomutase (PMM) deficiency accounts

We reported that gestational thyrotoxicosis is induced by thyroid-stimulating activity (TSA) of circulating hCG. However, the serum immunological hCG concentration did not correlate to TSA. To elucidate this, we examined the relation of carbohydrate moieties of hCG to bioactivity in 79 early

OBJECTIVE To assess the efficacy of glucomannan (GNN) as the sole treatment for abdominal pain-related functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGIDs). METHODS We conducted a double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized trial. Patients were recruited among children referred to the Department of

Ethnopharmacological relevance: The dry overground parts of Pogostemon cablin (Blanco) Benth. is widely used in China as a traditional Chinese medicine for the treatment of diarrhea, vomiting, nausea and fever. Polysaccharide is an important component of Pogostemon

Congenital hepatic fibrosis is a rare disorder of intrahepatic bile ducts with the persistence of embryological bile duct structures in ductal plate configuration. Three siblings aged 18, 17 and 14 years old were found to have congenital hepatic fibrosis associated with a deficiency of the enzyme
