Effect of Lycopene on Pharmacokinetic and Pharmacodynamics of Gliclazide in Diabetic Animal Models-Juniepr Publishers




Diabetes mellitus is one of the metabolic disorders associated with high blood sugar levels. Utilization of natural drugs among patients under diabetes mellitus pharmacotherapy is across the board. To examine the pk-pd(pharmacodynamic-pharmacokinetic) interactions of lycopene and gliclazide in animal models and to understand the safety & effectiveness. Single and multiple dose interaction studies were carried out in normal rats, diabetes induced rats and rabbits to evaluate the effect of lycopene on the gliclazide activity. Blood samples from the study animals were used for the estimation insulin and glucose levels by using radioimmunoassay method and chemistry analyzer (automated) respectively. Homeostasis model assessment used for determination of β-cell function. Additionally, sophisticated HP-LC technique used for analysis of diabetic rabbits serum samples for gliclazide.Gliclazide produces significant reduction in blood glucose levels in diabetic animals. However, tests examined from gliclazide in blend with lycopene indicated more prominent diminishment in blood glucose concentration in animals with diabetes.The study concludes that the lycopene along with gliclazide shows the significant pharmacodynamics interaction but doesn’t establish pharmacokinetics interaction up on single and multiple-dose treatment in animals.

Stress Reducing Effect of a New Appliance on Dental Implant Patients-Juniper Publishers

Image
Juniper Publishers Aim:  FM5 SENSORY system provides a new therapy modality which reveals synergistic effects on the level of stress. This innovative system combines music, aromatherapy and LED system by its own software program, and consist of a helmet and a main machine. By using this system, the aim of this study is to evaluate the levels of stress of the patients who would undergo dental implant surgery.  Methods:  This study included 66 of patients with no systemic disease (33 females, 33 males; mean age: 37.4±1.5 years). Evaluation of the stress levels of patients were performed by measuring the concentration of urinary cortisol. The treatment with helmet and the program of main machine were applied to all patients for 30 minutes. Before and after the treatment, twenty-four hours urine were collected from each participant. For the analyzes of cortisol levels, Urine BETA Cross Laps® (CTX-I) ELISA kit was utilized and they were presented as pg/ml. Obtained da...

Pre And Postoperative Use of Force Platform in Hallux Valgus Surgery-Case Report-Juniper Publishers

Image
Juniper Publishers We tried to analyze the importance of information’s obtained using a force platform in objective functional assessment of Scarf osteotomy in hallux valgus surgery. The aim was to obtain a normal architecture of the foot by restoring the normal relations of the first ray and the mobility in the first metatarso-phalangeal articulation. We used the AMTI Accu Gate force platform to analyze pre and postoperative force reaction of the foot succeeding Scarf osteotomy of the first metatarsal. Using the Scarf technique, we were able to restore the normal alignment of the forefoot. Data from the force platform revealed modifications of force reaction components of both leg in contrast with the pedobarographic studies. So, it is important that the technique chosen for correction should reestablish the normal parameters in all 3 space planes.

A New Asana for Treating the Neck & Shoulder Pain with Improved Flexibility-Junuper Publishers

Image
Juniper Publishers A new therapy for alleviating the neck & shoulder pain instantly based on the principles of yoga asana is presented. The method involves a sequence of skeletal movements of the neck and shoulder muscles to relieve any stress developed during the trauma or disturbing experience; excluding injuries causing damage to the tissue. Through prolonged stretch and relaxation, the muscles are freed from the constrained posture to bring about the symptomatic relief to the individual. It is found that the asana does not involves staining along the directions that lead to the injury as opposed to the well-known asanas such as Utthita Shishosana, Sasangasana, and Dhanurasana, Matsyasana, suggesting a huge potential to explore the pathophysiological benefits of the new asana in managing NSPs. Keywords:  Asana; Neck & Shoulder Pain Go to Introduction Neck/Shoulder Pain (NSP) is a common musculoskeletal disorder that affects a significant population aro...
