sambucus nigra/phosphatase

Urea-soluble fractions from purified Kurloff cells (KC) were analysed by affinoblotting. Lectin reactivities were quasi-exclusively confined to the 30-35 kDa major glycoproteins (mGPs) (responsible for the PAS positivity of the Kurloff body) with strong affinities for Canavalia ensiformis lectin,

The major alpha 2-6 sialoglycoproteins in detergent-extracts of Kurloff cells were purified by anion-exchange and Sambucus nigra agglutinin-affinity chromatographies. The similar ultrastructural localisations of (1) S. nigra agglutinin-gold conjugates and (2) acid phosphatase activities on the

OBJECTIVE To investigate the changes of sugar chain structures of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) in hepatoma tissue and its relation to the invasiveness of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). METHODS The binding ratios of ALP from 9 normal liver tissues, 16 hepatoma tissues and 16 noncancerous tissues

The MeOH extract from the whole plants of Sambucus adnata has shown significant protein-tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) inhibitory activity. Chemical study on the extract resulted in the isolation of thirteen compounds, including a novel triterpene (1). The structure of 1 was determined to be

The Kurloff cell (KC), a natural killer lymphocyte, contains a large (10-microns diameter) periodic acid-Schiff (PAS)-positive lysosome-like inclusion body called the Kurloff body (KB), which exhibits strong acid phosphatase activity. The presence of Sambucus nigra agglutinin (SNA)-reactive

Sambucus williamsii Hance has been used in fractures for thousands of years, but research on its active components, such as morroniside, until now had not been carried out. In this study, morroniside was taken as the leading compound, and fourteen derivatives were synthesized. The promotion of

Sambucus williamsii Hance (SWH) has been used for treatment of bone and joint disease in China for thousands of years. Our previous study showed that SWH extract and its bioactive fraction could effectively prevent oestrogen-deficiency induced bone loss in ovariectomized mice. The present study

The lectin binding pattern of muscular microvessels in chick, quail and chick/quail chimeras was analysed. Paraffin wax sections of muscles from embryonic and adult animals were used. The biotin-labelled lectins were detected by avidin-alkaline phosphatase complex. The following lectins bound to

1,4,13-Trihydroxy-eudesm-11(12)-ene, a new eudesmane derivative (3), (9E)-8,11,12-trihydroxyoctadecenoic acid methyl ester, a new fatty acid ester (2) and tianshic acid (1) were obtained from the stems of Sambucus williamsii. Their structures were elucidated by physiochemical properties and

Herbal Sambucus williamsii HANCE (SWH) is a folk medicine with a long history of safe use for treatment of bone fractures and joint diseases in China. The present study was designed to investigate if SWH extract could be used for treatment of postmenopausal osteoporosis. SWH extracts (30 or 60

BACKGROUND Sambucus Williamsii Hance (SWH) is a plant from a family of Caprifoliaceae, which has a long medical history of use as an effective folk treatment for fracture bruises. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effects of 50% ethanol extracts of root-bark of Sambucus Williamsii Hance(EE-rbSWH) on

This study examines the properties of an electrophoretic device designed to effect the rapid isolation of spermatozoa for assisted conception purposes. In light of previous reports suggesting that X- and Y-bearing spermatozoa can be separated in an electric field, the first characteristic examined

Growing evidence supports a cardio-protective role for anthocyanins; however, there is limited evidence on their efficacy and safety following the consumption of relatively high but dietarily achievable doses in humans. We conducted a parallel-designed, randomized, placebo-controlled study to

The 50% ethanol elution fractions of root-bark of Sambucus Williamsii Hance (rbSWH) evaluated the effect of proliferation and differentiation on preosteoblast MC3T3-E1 cell, and the mechanism of actions. We found that rbSWH(30, 60, and 90 µg/mL) can enhance cell proliferation by MTT assay and

A solid-phase assay for the activity of CMPNeuAc:Gal beta 1-4GlcNAc-R alpha-2,6-sialyltransferase (2,6ST) has been developed. In the assay an acceptor glycoprotein is immobilized onto microtiter plate wells. The two glycoprotein acceptors used were asialofetuin (ASF), which contains oligosaccharides
