Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Beneficial Effect of Asiaticoside on Experimental Neuropathy in Diabetic RatsChonlathip Thipkaew, Jintanaporn Wattanathorn, Supaporn MuchimapuraThough diabetic neuropathy produces high impact on quality of life, annual cost and morbidities, the therapeutic efficacy is still not in a satisfaction level. Based on the crucial role of oxidative stress on the pathophysiology of diabetic neuropathy and the improvement of this condition induced by antioxidant, we hypothesized that asiaticoside, a substance possessing antioxidant activity, could provide beneficial effect. … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 11 · 31 Aug 2012 · 7,051 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPhysical Therapy Improved Hand Function in a Patient with Traumatic Peripheral Lesion: A Case StudyMarco Orsini, Julio Guilherme Silva, Clynton Lourenco Correa et al.Problem statement: Nerves are frequently injured by traumatic lesions, such as crushing, compression (entrapment), stretching, partial and total extraction, resulting in damages to the transmission of nerve impulses and to the reduction or loss of sensitivity, to the motility and to the reflexes of the innervated area. The objective of this study was to evaluate the results of a rehabilitation … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 6 Aug 2012 · 7,895 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPhyllanthus Amarus Facilitates the Recovery of Peripheral Nerve after InjuryPanakpaporn Wannannond, Jintanaporn Wattanathorn, Supaporn Muchimapura et al.Problem statement: Peripheral nerve injuries are associated with morbidity and outcomes of peripheral nerve repair are poor. Moreover, it can subsequently leads to economic or social disability. Recent findings have shown that oxidative stress plays an important role on the functional recovery retardation of peripheral nerve. However, the impairment mentioned earlier is counteracted by antioxidant. Therefore, this study was carried … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 7 · 10 May 2012 · 7,098 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLaser Therapy of Irradiated Traumatized Skeletal Muscles and State of Immune System in AnimalsNelly Bulyakova, Svetlana Zubkova, Valentina AzarovaProblems statement: This study was designed to examine the effect of laser therapy on regeneration of traumatized skeletal muscles and on dynamics of immune responses in thymus and bone marrow under ionizing radiation. Approach: After local X-ray radiation of both rat gastrocnemius muscles at a dose 20 Gy or after total γ-irradiation of animals at a semiletal dose 6 Gy, … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 27 Aug 2011 · 8,198 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMethanol-Based Transesterification Optimization of Waste Used Cooking Oil over Potassium Hydroxide CatalystCholada Komintarachat, Sathaporn ChuepengProblem statement: Waste used Cooking Oil (WCO) harmfully affected to environment and human’s health can be a feedstock for producing biodiesel. Approach: The conversion of Fatty Acid and Free Fatty Acid (FFA) of WCO with 15.0% w/w FFA content to biodiesel was studied through transesterification reactions. This work investigated the effects of alcohol and catalyst quantity, reaction time and temperature … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2010 · 9,739 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBasic and Reactive Dyes Sorption Enhancement of Rice Hull through Chemical ModificationSiew-Teng Ong, Pei-Sin Keng, Chnoong-Kheng LeeProblem statement: Many studies have been conducted on the removal of either anionic or cationic dyes. However, as a mixture of dyes does commonly exist together in wastewater, therefore it is of great interest to have a material that can remove both types of dyes. Approach: To prepare an inexpensive and efficient sorbent by chemically modifying rice hull for the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2010 · 7,787 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRecovery of Lead(II) from Aqueous Solutions by Zea mays Tassel BiosorptionCaliphs M. Zvinowanda, Jonathan O. Okonkwo, Nana M. Agyei et al.Problem statement: Major adsorbent materials used in heavy metal ion removal from polluted aqueous streams are expensive and difficult to regenerate. In this study, the possibility of using Zea mays tassel, as an alternative low cost biosorbent material to remediate heavy metal pollution was investigated. Lead (II) was used because of its wide application in industrial products and well documented … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 8,465 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUltrasonographic Evaluation of Transcutaneous Electrical Neural Stimulation on the Repair of Severed Superficial Digital Flexor Tendon in HorsesDavood Sharifi, Dauod Kazemi, Abbas VeshkiniProblem statement: The main aim was to clinical assessment of the ultrasonographic changes of transcutaneous electrical neural stimulation after inducing injury in the SDFT in horses. Approach: Using 8 adults’ castrated horses having 350-550 Kgbw with 4-6 years of age. The left hind limb and right fore-limb Superficial Digital Flexor Tendon (SDFT) were splitted longitudinally at mid metatarsal and metacarpal … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2008 · 7,368 accessesView PDFCite
