EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractAMYOTROPHIC LATERAL SCLEROSIS: HOW TO UNDERSTAND SUCH DIVERSE AND SO ENTANGLED PHYSIOPATHOLOGY?Carlos Henrique Melo Reis, Marco Orsini, Marco Antônio Araujo Leite et al.When in 1865, JeanMartin Charcotreported patients with progressive muscular atrophysuperimposedwith spasticity of inexorable evolution as result of combinedlesions of the anterior horn and lateral column of the spinal cord, hecertainly inaugurated an attempt on the comprehension of one of the mostcomplexes neurological clinical conditions, which until today persists withimmense voids on their comprehension, regardless of the enormous advancesachieved. Astime went … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 16 Feb 2015 · 7,149 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSpatial Distribution of Fibroblast Growth Factor Receptor 2 in Normal and Lesioned Central Nervous System of Pleurodeles waltliiMarie Moftah, Marc Landry, Frederic Nagy, Jean-Marie CabelguenFibroblast Growth Factors (FGFs) have been implicated in numerous cellular processes including proliferation, migration, differentiation and neuronal survival. One of these growth factors, Fibroblast Growth Factor 2 (FGF2), is apparently implicated in the ability of the adult salamander (Pleurodeles waltlii) to recover locomotion following complete transection of the spinal cord. In a previous study, we reported up regulation of FGF2 … …Neuroscience International, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 4 Sep 2012 · 7,145 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Glia Connection of the Glutamate/Glutamine ShuttleAngelina Rodriguez, Arturo OrtegaProblem statement: Glia cells outnumber neurons but their role in synaptic transmission is still matter of debate. The recycling of Glutamate, the main excitatory neurotransmitter, carried out by the glutamate/glutamine shuttle, requires the involvement of glia, suggesting their involvement in neurotransmission. Approach: This review focuses on novel functions of glia proteins involved in this cycle. Results: An activity-dependent interaction of … …Neuroscience International, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 3 Sep 2012 · 7,770 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCoscinium Fenestratum Protects Against Ethanol-Induced Neurodegeneration in Adult Rat BrainWathita Phachonpai, Jintanaporn Wattanathorn, Panakaporn Wannanon et al.Alcoholism is a serious problem throughout the world. Despite intensive efforts to develop novel therapeutics for strategy efficacy against neuronal loss leading to memory impairment in alcoholism is still limited. In view of the pitfalls of psychological dependence and adverse behavioral effects of synthetic drugs, the development of low toxicity and high efficiency medicines derived from natural herbal antioxidants exhibits … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 16 Aug 2012 · 8,602 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSilkworm Pupae Protect Against Alzheimer’s DiseaseJintanaporn Wattanathorn, Supaporn Muchimapura, Artit Boosel et al.Silkworm (Bombyx mori) pupae have long been used as food and medicine in Asian countries. It is reputed for the treatment of numerous neurological disorders related to oxidative stress including stroke. Therefore, we hypothesized that silkworm pupae could attenuate memory impairment and neurodegeneration in Alzheimer’s disease. In the present study, we determined the effect of silkworm pupae on the neurodegeneration … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 16 Aug 2012 · 9,697 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Mulberry Fruit Powder in Animal Model of StrokePratchaya Kaewkaen, Terdthai Tong-Un, Jintanaporn Wattanathorn et al.Stroke is the leading cause of death and the important cause of disability worldwide. Presently, the effectiveness of therapeutic strategy is still very limited. Based on the role neuroprotective effect of substance possessing antioxidant effect previously reported, we hypothesized mulberry fruit a substance possessing anti-oxidant activity, might be able to protect against cognitive impairment induced by stroke or cerebral ischemia. … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 15 Aug 2012 · 9,039 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Dietary Kaempferia parviflora on Ischemic Brain Injury in the ratWathita Phachonpai, Sinthuporn Maharun, Supaporn Muchimapura et al.Problem statement: Stroke often causes irreversible neuronal damage and related behavioral deficits. The lack of effective and widely applicable pharmacological treatments for ischemic stroke patients may explain a growing interest in traditional plant medicines. We investigated the ability of consuming Kaempferia parviflora extract, a Thai medicinal plant reputed for neuroprotective effects against brain damage, reduced infarct volume and improve neurological … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 1 · 20 Mar 2012 · 9,088 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAphrodisiac Activity of Kaempferia parvifloraJintanaporn Wattanathorn, Prasert Pangphukiew, Supaporn Muchimapura et al.Problem statement: The increasing prevalence of sexual dysfunction and the limitation of therapeutic efficacy nowadays give rise to the requirement of novel therapeutic strategy. Kaempferia parviflora or Krachai-Dun has been long term used in Thai traditional folklore to treat this condition. Unfortunately, no scientific document is available until now. Therefore, this study was undertaken to determine the effect of this … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 9 Mar 2012 · 10,476 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDesign and Implementation of Novel Artificial Neural Network Based Stock Market Forecasting System on Field-Programmable Gate ArraysMd. Syedul Amin, Md. Mamun, Fazida Hanim Hashim et al.Problem statement: Multiagent system is very proficient and has rules well-suited for financial forecast with its neural network. In financial forecasting, the approach for rules extractions is less pertinent and involves algorithms which are complex. The unsupervised network method lacks in comprehensibility and leads to ambiguity. Approach: The application of neural network technology to real-time processing of financial market analysis … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 10 · 12 Sep 2011 · 7,627 accessesView PDFCite
