Objective: Exogenous hydrogen sulfide (H2S) has a positive effect on respiratory diseases. Oleo-gum of Ferula assa-foetida contains this compound. This study assessed the effects of Ferula assa-foetida L. oleo gum resin and tragacanth (Phytopaj) on patients with COVID-19.

Materials and methods: A randomized, single-blinded, controlled trial (RCT) phase 2 was conducted in Mashhad on hospitalized COVID-19 patients. In this RCT, 122 patients were randomly assigned to either receive a 14-day oral phytopaj plus ordinary treatment or ordinary treatment only. Changes in peripheral blood lymphocyte count (LC) and blood oxygen saturation (PO2) were the endpoints.

Results: Mean±SD of PO2 in Phytopaj comparison ordinary treatment before intervention was 91.86±4.62 and 91.41±9.18, after the intervention it was 93.22±4.26 and 91.91±5.92 mmHg; before intervention, mean±SD of peripheral blood lymphocyte count was 1015.90±500.55, and 1104.28±543.61, and after intervention, it was 1652.27±921.38 and 1326.12±719.28/μL respectively.

Conclusion: Phyopaj is most useful in moderate stages of Covid19, and it is not recommended for elderly patients and patients with comorbidity until more insight is gained.

目的:外源性硫化氢(H2S)对呼吸系统疾病有积极作用。阿魏的油胶中含有这种化合物。本研究评估了阿魏油胶树脂和黄精(Phytopaj)对 COVID-19 患者的影响:在马什哈德对住院的 COVID-19 患者进行了随机、单盲、对照试验(RCT)第二阶段研究。在这项随机对照试验中,122 名患者被随机分配接受为期 14 天的口服 Phytopaj 加普通治疗或仅接受普通治疗。外周血淋巴细胞计数(LC)和血氧饱和度(PO2)的变化是终点:结果:干预前,Phytopaj对比普通治疗的PO2平均±SD分别为91.86±4.62和91.41±9.18,干预后分别为93.22±4.26和91.91±5.92 mmHg;干预前,外周血淋巴细胞计数平均±SD分别为1015.90±500.55和1104.28±543.61,干预后分别为1652.27±921.38和1326.12±719.28/μL:结论:Phyopaj 对中度 Covid19 患者最有用,在获得更多认识之前,不建议老年患者和合并症患者使用。

Objective: Asthma is a common disease and curcumin has modest effect in inflammatory disorders. This study investigated the efficacy of nano-curcumin on asthma.

Materials and methods: In this double-blinded randomized clinical trial, 60 patients with non-atopic bronchial asthma were randomly stratified in two groups of intervention (N=30) and control (N=30) groups. Apart from their standard treatment, the intervention group received 40 mg nano-curcumin (soft gel) three times daily while the control group received placebo. During the 60-day study, patients were assessed using spirometry to measure Forced expiratory volume in first second (FEV1). Asthma control test (ACT) was completed every 30 days and asthma quality of life questionnaire (AQLQ) was completed at the first and end of the study.

Results: Totally, 31 patients (51.7%) were male and the mean age was 51.45±12.58 years. FEV1 was improved but there was no significant difference between intervention and control groups. ACT and AQLQ domains scores significantly improved. However, it was not statistically different between control and intervention groups.

Conclusion: Nano-curcumin at administered dosage had no additive effect on the standard treatment in asthmatic patients.

目的:哮喘是一种常见疾病,姜黄素对炎症性疾病有一定疗效。本研究探讨了纳米姜黄素对哮喘的疗效:在这项双盲随机临床试验中,60 名非变应性支气管哮喘患者被随机分为两组,即干预组(30 人)和对照组(30 人)。干预组除了接受常规治疗外,还服用 40 毫克纳米姜黄素(软凝胶),每天三次,对照组服用安慰剂。在为期 60 天的研究中,患者使用肺活量计测量第一秒用力呼气容积(FEV1)。哮喘控制测试(ACT)每 30 天完成一次,哮喘生活质量问卷(AQLQ)在研究开始和结束时完成:共有 31 名患者(51.7%)为男性,平均年龄为(51.45±12.58)岁。FEV1有所改善,但干预组和对照组之间无明显差异。ACT 和 AQLQ 领域得分明显改善。结论:结论:给药剂量的纳米姜黄素对哮喘患者的标准治疗没有增效作用。

Efficacy and safety of a novel antiviral herbal preparation in ICU-admitted patients with COVID-19: A phase III double-blinded controlled trial. 新型抗病毒草药制剂对入住ICU的COVID-19患者的疗效和安全性:III期双盲对照试验。
IF 1.9 Q3 CHEMISTRY, MEDICINAL Pub Date : 2024-03-01 DOI: 10.22038/AJP.2023.23259

Objective: Despite an increasing number of studies, there is as yet no definite treatment developed for the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). In this clinical trial, we examined the efficacy of a novel herbal antiviral preparation in critically ill COVID-19 patients.

Materials and methods: A total number of 120 ICU-admitted patients with a diagnosis of COVID-19 pneumonia were recruited to the trial. Participants were equally randomized to receive either the novel antiviral preparation sublingually, for up to two consecutive weeks or till discharge, or placebo. Clinical and laboratory parameters as well as survival rates were compared between the two groups.

Results: The cumulative incidence of death throughout the study period was 8.33% in the intervention group and 60% in the placebo group (risk ratio: 0.14; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.05 to 0.32; p<0.001). On day 7, several parameters including white blood cells (WBCs) count, C-reactive protein, and SpO2 were improved for the treatment group compared with the placebo group (p-values of 0.05, 0.01, and <0.001, respectively).

Conclusion: This preparation might be suggested as a potentially promising COVID-19 treatment.

目的:尽管研究越来越多,但目前还没有针对2019年冠状病毒病(COVID-19)的明确治疗方法。在这项临床试验中,我们研究了一种新型草药抗病毒制剂对 COVID-19 重症患者的疗效:试验共招募了 120 名确诊为 COVID-19 肺炎的 ICU 入院患者。参与者被随机分配到舌下含服新型抗病毒制剂或安慰剂,前者最长可连续含服两周或直至出院,后者最长可连续含服两周或直至出院。对两组患者的临床和实验室指标以及存活率进行了比较:结果:在整个研究期间,干预组的累计死亡发生率为 8.33%,安慰剂组为 60%(风险比:0.14;95% 置信区间 [CI],0.05 至 0.32;P2);与安慰剂组相比,治疗组的生存率有所提高(P 值分别为 0.05、0.01 和 0.01):该制剂可作为一种有潜力的 COVID-19 治疗方法。

Objective: Most polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) patients have metabolic abnormalities in which insulin resistance (IR) plays a pivotal role. Cinnamon is a herbal medicine with insulinotropic properties. This pilot study aimed to evaluate the effects of cinnamon on ovarian volume, androgenic profile, and metabolic and anthropometric parameters in women with PCOS.

Materials and methods: A single-center, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial was carried out on 39 overweight / obese women with PCOS. For six months, subjects in the cinnamon (500 mg) (n=19) and placebo (n=20) groups were given three capsules daily. Before and after the intervention, the variables were assessed. The data was analyzed using the GraphPad Prism software.

Results: After the intervention, the two intervention and control groups had significant differences in abdominal subcutaneous fat and ovarian volume, but they did not differ significantly in terms of body mass index (BMI). Also, after the intervention, no significant difference was observed between the two groups in terms of lipid profile and the concentration of androgenic biomarkers of insulin resistance.

Conclusion: Cinnamon supplementation improves ovarian volume and subcutaneous abdominal fat but has no effect on anthropometric parameters, lipid profile, insulin resistance, or androgen hormones.

目的:大多数多囊卵巢综合征(PCOS)患者都存在代谢异常,其中胰岛素抵抗(IR)起着关键作用。肉桂是一种具有促胰岛素作用的草药。这项试验性研究旨在评估肉桂对多囊卵巢综合征女性卵巢体积、雄激素谱、代谢和人体测量参数的影响:对 39 名患有多囊卵巢综合征的超重/肥胖妇女进行了单中心、双盲、随机、安慰剂对照试验。在为期六个月的时间里,肉桂(500 毫克)组(19 人)和安慰剂组(20 人)的受试者每天服用三粒肉桂胶囊。对干预前后的变量进行了评估。数据使用 GraphPad Prism 软件进行分析:结果:干预后,干预组和对照组在腹部皮下脂肪和卵巢体积方面有显著差异,但在体重指数(BMI)方面没有显著差异。此外,干预后,两组在血脂状况和胰岛素抵抗的雄激素生物标志物浓度方面也没有明显差异:结论:补充肉桂能改善卵巢体积和腹部皮下脂肪,但对人体测量参数、血脂状况、胰岛素抵抗或雄性激素没有影响。

Objective: Body hair removal plays an important role in beauty standards, particularly for women. Finding a method that is easy to use, cheap, and can be done without supervision can significantly affect long-term hair reduction and reduce the side effects of hair removal. The present study investigated the impact of a containing 20% broad bean (Vicia faba) extract cream on axillary hair removal.

Materials and methods: Twenty-five female volunteers were randomly divided into A (right axillary intervention - left axillary placebo) and B (right axillary placebo - left axillary intervention). Depending on the group, each person used a cream containing 20% broad bean extract )"The extract made from the seeds and pods of broad beans.") on one side and a placebo on the other twice a day for three months. Volunteers shaved their axillary hairs three days before each visit and took pictures of both sides on the day of the visit with a trichoscope (to check the diameter and thickness of the hairs).

Results: We found a decrease in thickness on the intervention group (the axilla where a cream containing broad bean extract was applied); however, this difference was not significant between the intervention side and the placebo. In terms of the number of hairs, the difference between the two groups was significant only in the second month despite the decrease on the intervention side. Evaluation based on the personal judgment of the volunteers showed that there was a substantial difference in terms of the number of hairs (p=0.012) and thinning of hair (p=0.02).

Conclusion: Our findings showed that 20% broad bean extract cream could potentially reduce axillary hair growth.

目的体毛脱除在美容标准中扮演着重要角色,尤其是对女性而言。找到一种简单易用、价格低廉、无需监督即可完成的脱毛方法,对长期脱毛和减少脱毛的副作用有重要影响。本研究调查了含有 20% 蚕豆(Vicia faba)提取物的脱毛膏对腋毛脱除的影响:25 名女性志愿者被随机分为 A 组(右腋窝干预-左腋窝安慰剂)和 B 组(右腋窝安慰剂-左腋窝干预)。根据组别不同,每人一侧使用含 20% 蚕豆提取物("从蚕豆种子和豆荚中提取的提取物")的乳膏,另一侧使用安慰剂,每天两次,持续三个月。志愿者在每次就诊前三天剃除腋毛,并在就诊当天用毛囊镜(检查毛发的直径和粗细)拍摄两侧照片:我们发现,干预组(涂抹蚕豆提取物乳膏的腋窝)的毛发厚度有所减少,但干预组与安慰剂组之间的差异并不明显。就毛发数量而言,尽管干预组的毛发数量有所减少,但两组之间的差异仅在第二个月才显著。根据志愿者的个人判断进行的评估显示,在头发数量(p=0.012)和头发稀疏(p=0.02)方面存在显著差异:我们的研究结果表明,20% 的蚕豆提取物乳膏有可能减少腋毛的生长。

Objective: The present study examined effects of resistance training (RT) and resveratrol (RES) alone and together on acrylamide (AC)-induced memory impairment in rats.

Materials and methods: Animals were divided into 6 groups: (1) Control group which received normal saline intraperitoneally (ip) daily for 8 weeks; (2) Scopolamine (SCO) group which received SCO (1 mg/kg/day, ip) for 8 weeks; (3) AC group which received AC (5 mg/kg/day, ip) for 8 weeks; (4) AC + RT group which received AC (5 mg/kg/day, ip) for 8 weeks and performed RT (5 days a week for 8 weeks); (5) AC + RES group which received AC (5 mg/kg/day, ip) and RES (1 mg/kg/day, ip) for 8 weeks; and (6) AC + RT + RES group which received AC (5 mg/kg/day, ip) and RES (1 mg/kg/day, ip) for 8 weeks and performed RT (5 days a week for 8 weeks). On day 53, animal training began in the Morris Water Maze (MWM) and 24 hr after the last training, the probe test was performed.

Results: RT and RES alone did not significantly affect escape latency or traveled distance increased by AC. However, concomitant RES and RT treatment significantly reduced these parameters compared to the AC group. Co-treatment with RES and RT also significantly increased the time spent in the target quadrant compared to the AC group. Lipid peroxidation was reduced in the AC+RES and AC+RT+RES groups compared to the AC group.

Conclusion: It seems that daily co-treatment with RES and RT for 8 weeks ameliorates the memory-impairing effects of AC.

目的:本研究探讨了阻力训练(RT)和白藜芦醇(RES)单独或共同对丙烯酰胺(AC)诱导的大鼠记忆损伤的影响:本研究探讨了阻力训练(RT)和白藜芦醇(RES)单独或共同作用对丙烯酰胺(AC)诱导的大鼠记忆损伤的影响:动物分为 6 组:(1)对照组,每天腹腔注射生理盐水,共8周;(2)东莨菪碱组,每天腹腔注射东莨菪碱1毫克/千克,共8周;(3)丙烯酰胺组,每天腹腔注射丙烯酰胺5毫克/千克,共8周;(4)丙烯酰胺+RT组,每天腹腔注射丙烯酰胺5毫克/千克,共8周,同时进行RT训练(每周5天,共8周);(5) AC + RES 组:接受 AC(5 毫克/千克/天,ip)和 RES(1 毫克/千克/天,ip)治疗,共 8 周;以及 (6) AC + RT + RES 组:接受 AC(5 毫克/千克/天,ip)和 RES(1 毫克/千克/天,ip)治疗,共 8 周,并进行 RT(每周 5 天,共 8 周)。第53天,动物开始接受莫里斯水迷宫(MWM)训练,最后一次训练24小时后,进行探针测试:结果:单独的RT和RES对AC增加的逃逸潜伏期和行进距离没有明显影响。然而,与 AC 组相比,同时使用 RES 和 RT 治疗可显著降低这些参数。与交流组相比,RES和RT联合治疗还能显著增加在目标象限停留的时间。与 AC 组相比,AC+RES 组和 AC+RT+RES 组的脂质过氧化程度降低:结论:每天同时使用 RES 和 RT 治疗 8 周似乎可以改善 AC 对记忆的损害。

Objective: Curcuma longa Rhizome (CLR), due to its potent antioxidant phytochemical constituents, was investigated for its effects on bisphenol A (BPA)-induced cardiovascular and renal damage.

Materials and methods: Sixty rats were randomly selected, and grouped as control, BPA (100 mg/ kg), BPA and CLR 100 mg/kg, BPA and CLR 200 mg/kg, CLR 100 mg/kg, and CLR 200 mg/kg for 21 days. Oxidative stress indices, antioxidant status, blood pressure parameters, genotoxicity, and immunohistochemistry were determined.

Results: Rats exposed to the toxic effects of BPA had heightened blood pressure, lowered frequency of micronucleated polychromatic erythrocytes, and decreased activities of antioxidant enzymes compared with rats treated with CLR. Moreover, administration of CLR significantly (p<0.05) lowered malondialdehyde content and reduced the serum myeloperoxidase activity. Immunohistochemical evaluation revealed significantly (p<0.05) increased expressions of cardiac troponin and Caspase 3 in the BPA group compared with the CLR-treated groups.

Conclusion: C. longa ameliorated cardiotoxic and nephrotoxic actions of bisphenol-A via mitigation of oxidative stress, hypertension, and genotoxicity.

Objective: The article studies how Melissa officinalis L. extract and rosmarinic acid (RA) affect lung inflammation, pathology, and oxidative stress in rats with ovalbumin-induced asthma.

Materials and methods: Asthma was induced in rats using ovalbumin injection and inhalation. The study assessed lung inflammation, pathological changes, and oxidative stress in control, untreated asthmatic rats and three treatment groups. These groups received M. officinalis extract (50, 100, 200 mg/kg), RA (0.5, 1, 2 mg/kg), or dexamethasone (Dex) 1 mg/kg.

Results: In the sensitized group, white blood cell counts, malondialdehyde, and nitrite levels increased significantly, while thiol levels and the activity of superoxide dismutase and catalase decreased (p<0.001). However, all treatment groups with the extract, RA, and Dex showed a significant reduction in total white blood cells, eosinophils, monocytes, malondialdehyde, and nitrite levels compared to the asthma group (p<0.001 in all groups). Thiol levels and catalase and superoxide dismutase activity were significantly higher in all treated groups with RA and high extract doses (p<0.001). Lung pathological changes were also significantly less severe in the treated groups with dexamethasone, plant extract, and RA compared to the asthma group (p<0.05 to p<0.001).

Conclusion: This study showed that M. officinalis and RA have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects in an animal asthma model, suggesting their potential for treating asthma symptoms.

Objective: Silibinin has exhibited antitumor activities. However, there are few reports about the immunomodulatory properties of silibinin on T lymphocyte function in the tumor microenvironment. Here, we determined the effects of silibinin on T cells of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), cultivated alone or with a human cell line of glioblastoma (U-87 MG).

Materials and methods: The proliferation of T lymphocytes was assessed by MTT test in the presence of silibinin (15 and 45 µM). Also, total antioxidant capacity (TAC), the activity of superoxide dismutase-3 (SOD3), and the levels of two cytokines interferon gamma (IFN-γ) and tumor growth beta (TGF-β) were compared between treated and untreated PBMCs alone or co-cultured with U-87 cells.

Results: According to our results, silibinin raised the TAC levels and SOD3 activity in the PBMCs and in the co-culture condition. Moreover, silibinin-treated PBMCs showed higher IFN-γ levels and lower TGF-β levels. Interestingly, silibinin protected PBMCs against the U-87-induced suppression.

Conclusion: Altogether, these results proposed the immunomodulatory potential of silibinin on T cells of PBMCs, as well as its partially protective effects on PBMCs against the suppression induced by U-87 MG cells.

目的Silibinin 具有抗肿瘤活性。然而,有关水飞蓟宾对肿瘤微环境中 T 淋巴细胞功能的免疫调节特性的报道却很少。在此,我们测定了西利宾对单独培养或与人胶质母细胞瘤细胞系(U-87 MG)一起培养的外周血单核细胞(PBMCs)T细胞的影响:在有西利宾(15 和 45 µM)存在的情况下,用 MTT 试验评估 T 淋巴细胞的增殖情况。此外,还比较了单独或与 U-87 细胞共培养的 PBMC 的总抗氧化能力(TAC)、超氧化物歧化酶-3(SOD3)的活性以及两种细胞因子γ干扰素(IFN-γ)和肿瘤生长β因子(TGF-β)的水平:结果:西利宾提高了PBMCs和共培养条件下的TAC水平和SOD3活性。此外,西利宾处理的 PBMCs 表现出更高的 IFN-γ 水平和更低的 TGF-β 水平。有趣的是,西利宾能保护 PBMC 免受 U-87 引起的抑制:总之,这些结果表明了西利宾对 PBMCs T 细胞的免疫调节潜力,以及对 PBMCs 免受 U-87 MG 细胞抑制的部分保护作用。

Objective: Increased body mass index (BMI) seems to be a risk factor for migraine attacks. Cinnamon has anti-inflammatory, neuroprotective, and anti-obesity effects. This study aimed to assess the effects of cinnamon on anthropometric indices and headache-related disability of patients with migraine.

Materials and methods: This study was conducted as a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial involving 50 migraine patients. Patients were randomized to receive either 600 mg cinnamon powder or placebo capsules for two months. Height, body weight (BW), waist circumference (WC), and hip circumference (HC) were measured.Furthermore, Minimal or Infrequent Disability (MIDAS) and Headache Daily Result (HDR) Questionnaires were recorded.

Results: At the end of the treatment period, BW and BMI did not change in the intervention group; however, both factors were significantly increased in the placebo group (p=0.001). The change of WC, HDR and MIDAS was significantly different between the intervention and placebo groups (p<0.001). Furthermore, HC and WHR significantly decreased (p=0.001).

Conclusion: Cinnamon seems to have beneficial effects on anthropometric indices and headache disability of migraine patients.

目的:体重指数(BMI)的增加似乎是偏头痛发作的一个风险因素。肉桂具有抗炎、保护神经和抗肥胖的作用。本研究旨在评估肉桂对偏头痛患者人体测量指数和头痛相关残疾的影响:本研究是一项随机、双盲、安慰剂对照试验,共有 50 名偏头痛患者参与。患者随机接受 600 毫克肉桂粉或安慰剂胶囊治疗两个月。此外,还记录了轻度或重度残疾(MIDAS)和头痛每日结果(HDR)问卷:结果:在治疗期结束时,干预组的体重和体重指数没有变化;但安慰剂组的这两项指标均显著增加(P=0.001)。干预组和安慰剂组的体重、HDR 和 MIDAS 的变化有明显差异(P=0.001):肉桂似乎对偏头痛患者的人体测量指数和头痛残疾有好处。
