The most common disorders responsible for over … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 7 May 2013 · 6,773 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStem Cells in Traumatic Brain InjurySamuel Dobrowolski, Guilherme LepskiTraumatic Brain Injury (TBI) is a devastating clinical condition that often causes permanent incapacity, especially in the younger population. The clinical relevant of TBI justifies the scientific interest in the pathophysiology of TBI, as well as in protective effects and development of treatment options. Stem cells have the ability to induce neuroprotection and neural repair inflammatory suppression, causing tissue reconstruction … …Neuroscience International, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 12 Apr 2013 · 7,564 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractElectrotherapeutic Interventions for Tennis Elbow or Lateral Epicondylitis: A Brief Review of the LiteratureLevent Ediz, Mahmut AlpayciLateral Epicondylitis (LE) or tennis elbow is a painful and functionally limiting entity affecting the upper limb and hand. The lack of sufficient understanding regarding its pathophysiology has led to a large number of treatment approaches in physiotherapy practice including electrotherapeutic interventions. In the current review we evaluated recent trials and reviews of electrotherapeutic interventions for LE treatment for evidence … …Physics International, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 26 Feb 2013 · 7,373 accessesView PDFCite
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 abstractAssessment of Neuropharmacological Activities of Terminalia Chebula in RatsWathita Phachonpai, Jintanaporn Wattanathorn, Terdthai Tong-un et al.Problem statement: Oxidative stress has been implicated in the pathophysiology of many neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s Disease (AD). In traditional practices of Ayurvedic medicine, numerous herbs have been used to treat cognitive disorders. Terminalia Chebula (Combretaceae; TC), is a well-known Ayurvedic herbal remedy which possesses an antioxidant activity. The scientific literature strongly supports its in vitro exerted acetylcholinesterase inhibitory … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 11 Jun 2012 · 8,295 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNeuroprotective Effect against Cerebral Ischemia of Passiflora foetidaJintanaporn Wattanathorn, Natcha Sattroopinat, Terdthai Tong-Un et al.Problem statement: Although cerebral ischemia induced by stroke has been regarded as the important problem worldwide, the therapeutic efficacy is still inadequate. Since the free radicals are implicated in the pathophysiology of cerebral ischemia, the prophylactic protection against stroke with neuroprotective agent possessing antioxidant effect has gained much attention. Therefore, this study was designed to determine whether the alcoholic extract … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 16 Feb 2012 · 8,242 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCognitive-Enhancing and Antioxidant Activities of Quercetin Liposomes in Animal Model of Alzheimer's DiseaseTerdthai Tong-un, Panakaporn Wannanon, Jintanaporn Wattanathorn, Wathita PhachonpaiProblem statement: Recent findings demonstrated the crucial role of oxidative stress on the pathophysiology of Alzheimer’s Disease (AD). Antioxidant intake is beneficial to delay or inhibit the progression of this disease. Quercetin, a bioflavonoid in fruits and vegetables, has a powerful antioxidant activity both in vitro and in vivo. Claims that quercetin has many biological activities. However, quercetin is rapidly … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 31 Oct 2010 · 7,880 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNeuroprotective Effect of Quercetin Encapsulated Liposomes: A Novel Therapeutic Strategy against Alzheimer’s DiseaseW. Phachonpai, J. Wattanathorn, S. Muchimapura et al.Problem statement: The prevalence of Alzheimer’s disease is increasing but the efficacy of treatment is still very limited due to various factors including the blood brain barrier. Recent findings demonstrated the crucial role of oxidative stress on the pathophysiology of disease. In addition the burden of blood brain barrier can be overcome by nasal administration and vesicle-carrier mediated delivery system. … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2010 · 9,449 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Role of Treg Cells in the Cancer Immunological ResponseZhi-Zhang Yang, Stephen M. AnsellProblem statement: T cell-mediated immunosuppression has been observed for decades without clarification as to which factor was responsible for this observation. The identification of CD4+CD25+ regulatory T (Treg) cells represents a milestone in the filed of immunology and provides an explanation for T-cell-mediated immunosuppression. Although Treg cells were originally identified for their ability to prevent organ-specific autoimmune disease in mice, … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 8,518 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAbdominal and Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm ModelingMona Abdolrazaghi, Mehdi NavidBakhsh, Kamran HassaniModeling is a beneficial tool for understanding cardiovascular system functioning and pathophysiology of the system. The present study is concerned with left ventricle Pressure-Volume diagrams obtained by modeling of aortic aneurysms using the cardiovascular electronic system. In addition, these graphs were compared with a normal condition. The electrical circuit of the cardiovascular system consists of 42 segments including the main … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2008 · 6,606 accessesView PDFCite
