OBJECTIVE
To study the acute anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic properties of an extract of D. winteri.
METHODS
Paw oedema induced in rats with various stimuli and anaphylactic shock in mice.
RESULTS
The hydroalcoholic extract (HE) of D. winteri (Winteraceae) (30 to 100 mg/kg, p.o., 1 h prior)
Since the 1980s, medicinal effects have been documented in scientific studies with the related Basidiomycota mushrooms Agaricus blazei Murill (AbM), Hericium erinaceus (HE) and Grifola frondosa (GF) from Brazilian and Eastern traditional medicine. Special focus has been
First, the cases of two patients with intractable cystitis are presented. The first case was a 72-year old man who was admitted to our clinic with bladder symptoms (pollakisuria, pain on urination, hematuria and so forth) for about one month. These symptoms were not relieved by several kinds of
Chaga mushrooms (Inonotus obliquus) are hypothesised to exhibit general immune-potentiating, anti-inflammatory, and antitumor properties, but their anti-allergic activities are not fully understood. Therefore, this study investigated whether a chaga mushroom extract (C-HE) might have anti-allergic
Paul Janssen (1926-2003) performed during fifty Years an intense pharmaceutical research activity. From 1953 to 2003, he discovered numerous new drugs in various fields of pharmacology. He widened the neuroleptic spectrum with haloperidol and risperidone, the opioid one with dextromoramide, fentanyl
A 15-year-old boy with severe inflammatory skin lesions from an early age was found to have extremely elevated serum IgE levels (up to 376.000 IU/ml). His skin showed positive direct immunofluorescence for IgE and he had peripheral and bone marrow eosinophilia. No evidence for atopic disease was
Glucocorticoids are frequently used in clinical anaesthesiology and intensive care because of their antiallergic, antiinflammatory and antioedematous properties and anaphylactic reactions are rare. We report on a 62-year-old asthmatic patient with evidence of aspirin sensitivity. We administered 100
We have found steroid pulse therapy to be effective and safe for local and systemic adverse reactions of BCG therapy. Two cases are reported. Case 1: A 57-year-old woman with initial recurrence of urinary bladder carcinoma was treated with transurethral resection. The histopathological findings were
A good immediate ocular tolerance of eye-drops is paramount for the patient's compliance, and therefore for the therapeutic success. The tolerance of a new formula of NAAXIA, an anti-allergic eye-drop, whose sole modification was the replacement of the Mg++ ion by the Na+ ion, was compared with the
Clinical management of short bowel syndrome remains a multistage process. Although PN is crucial, early introduction of enteral feeding is mandatory. We describe retrospectively 4 patients with an ultrashort bowel who could be weaned off PN on very short terms after introduction of an
A 50-year-old man, who developed bronchial asthma at the age of 43 and was treated continuously with corticosteroids from the beginning of the first treatment, was admitted with exacerbation of exertional dyspnea. In spite of various treatments for bronchial asthma, such as theophylline,
We investigated the inhibitory action of medium molecular weight heparinyl phenylalanine (MHF) on type I hypersensitivity in comparison with medium molecular weight heparinyl arginine (MHR).MHF and MHR were synthesized from heparin (HE) to decrease the Angiosarcoma of the head and neck is a rare tumour of vascular origin that affects the elderly. A 74-year-old man who presented with bruise-like macules of the scalp and face is reported. He was treated for a few months with different antibiotics and anti-allergic medication by his own family
We report the clinical course of a case of X-linked lissencephaly with absent corpus callosum and abnormal genitalia (XLAG) exhibiting severe diarrhea. The patient demonstrated lactose intolerance and his intractable seizures were relieved with lactose-free, extensively hydrolyzed whey protein
The treatment for desmoid-type fibromatosis involves surgical resection and medication therapy, but the standard treatment has not yet been established. In the West, the usefulness of radiation therapy has been reported. We encountered a patient with desmoid-type fibromatosis in the pelvis who was
