Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRadiation-Induced Cognitive Dysfunction After Different Schemes of Fractionated Whole Brain IrradiationZorkina Yana Alexandrovna, Zubkov Eugene Andreevich, Yusubalieva Gaukhar Maratovna et al.Radiation-induced cognitive dysfunction is a serious complication of radiation therapy. In humans, numerous cases of radiation damage have been recorded after irradiation for therapeutic purposes. The degree of cognitive dysfunctions and its dependence on biological effective doses should be tested in animal preclinical models to minimize radiation side effects. Fractionated whole brain irradiation was performed according to the following schemes: … …Neuroscience International, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 14 Jan 2015 · 7,256 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Combined Fenofibrate and Nicotinamide on Oxidative Stress and Inflammatory Cytokines Involved in Cisplatin-Induced Nephrotoxicity in RatsOmaima M. Abd Allah, Abeer A.I. Sharaf El-Din, Fouad El DebakeyCisplatin (Cis) is an anticancer drug, which is accompanied with major side effects including nephrotoxicity. The current study was performed to assess the possible prophylactic effects of fenofibrate (FEN), Nicotinamide (NAM) and their combination on oxidative stress and inflammatory cytokines associated with cisplatin-induced renal damage. Rats were randomly divided into seven groups (8 each) as follows; control group; FEN group … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 9 Jan 2015 · 7,128 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSerum TGF-β and TNF-α During Psoriasis Therapy with Narrowband Ultraviolet BAhmad Taha Khalaf, Yan YuehuaAlthough it is now an accepted concept that narrow-band UVB therapy is an efficacious therapy for psoriasis, the relationship between the response rate and the potential effects on serum cytokines is less well-established. The purpose of this study was to investigate the correlation between the response rate and the changes of serum TGF-β and TNF-α necessary for understanding the underlying … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 12 · 6 Jan 2015 · 6,088 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAMINO ACID TRANSPORTERS IN DRUG DISCOVERYMariafrancesca Scalise, Lorena Pochini, Michele Galluccio, Cesare IndiveriAdministered drugs interact with membrane transporters of epithelia, Blood Brain Barrier and other districts influencing their delivery and efficacy. Drugs can also be used as inhibitors of transporters involved in human pathology. Drug-transporter interactions are responsible of off-target effects contributing to toxicity. High Throughput Screening technologies increased the potential applications in therapy or in predicting side effects. These strategies will … …Current Research in Drug Discovery, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 2 Oct 2014 · 7,099 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCLINICAL EXPERIENCE OF CANCER IMMUNOTHERAPY INTEGRATED WITH OLEIC ACID COMPLEXED WITH DE-GLYCOSYLATED VITAMIN D BINDING PROTEINEmma Ward, Rodney Smith, Jacopo J.V. Branca et al.Proteins highly represented in milk such as α-lactalbumin and lactoferrin bind Oleic Acid (OA) to form complexes with selective anti-tumor activity. A protein present in milk, colostrum and blood, vitamin D binding protein is the precursor of a potent Macrophage Activating Factor (GcMAF) and in analogy with other OA-protein complexes, we proposed that OA-GcMAF could demonstrate a greater immunotherapeutic activity … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 8 Mar 2014 · 13,186 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTherapeutic Effects of Highly Purified De-Glycosylated Gcmaf in the Immunotherapy of Patients with Chronic DiseasesLynda Thyer, Emma Ward, Rodney Smith et al.The de-Glycosylated vitamin D binding protein is a powerful Macrophage Activating Factor (GcMAF) that shows multiple biological effects that could be exploited in the immunotherapy of tumours, viral infections and autism. Here we report the observation of a series of clinical cases describing the results obtained administering highly purified GcMAF to patients with diverse types of chronic diseases. These are … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 20 Aug 2013 · 11,858 accessesView PDF Cite
