Antinociceptive activity of the Benth. ethanolic extract, fractions, and isolated compounds in mice.

Benth. (CE) is native to the Mexico and multiple effects have been observed from several plants belonging to the same family. CE was subjected to extraction with 95% ethanol, and the components were isolated through column chromatography.

Separation and Identification of Antioxidants and Aldose Reductase Inhibitors in (Walp.) Epling.

We previously reported that (Walp.) Epling has antioxidant and aldose reductase (AR) inhibitory activities. In this study, was extracted in a 50% MeOH and CHCl/MeOH system.

Ruiz & Pav. Root Extract: A New Source of Caffeoylquinic Acids with Antioxidant and Aldose Reductase Inhibitory Activities.

Ruiz & Pav. () has long been used as a herbal medicine in Peru; however, its phytochemicals and pharmacology need to be scientifically explored. In this study, we combined the offline 2,2-diphenyl-1-picryl-hydrazyl-hydrate (DPPH)-/ultrafiltration-high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and high-speed counter-current chromatography (HSCCC)/pH-zone-refining counter-current chromatography (pH-zone-refining CCC) to screen and separate the antioxidants and aldose reductase (AR) inhibitors from the 70% MeOH extract of which exhibited remarkable antioxidant and AR inhibitory activities.

Effect of Extract and Synthesized Derivatives of Isolated Compound from f. Pilosa Ohwi on Neuropathic Pain in Mice.

Neuropathic pain is described as the "most terrible of all tortures that a nerve wound may inflict." The aim of the present study was to demonstrate the antinociceptive effect of f. pilosa Ohwi water extract (SCW) and synthesized derivatives of the isolated compound.

Evaluation of the facial dimensions of young adult women with a preferred facial appearance.

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the facial dimensions of young adult women with a preferred facial appearance and compare the results with those from the general population.

Methods: Twenty-five linear, nine angular, and three area measurements were made and four ratios were calculated using a sample of standardized frontal and lateral photographs of 46 young adult women with a preferred facial appearance (Miss Korea group) and 44 young adult women from the general population (control group). Differences between the two groups were analyzed using multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA).
