A Text Mining Protocol for Extracting Drug-Drug Interaction and Adverse Drug Reactions Specific to Patient Population, Pharmacokinetics, Pharmacodynamics, and Disease.

Drug-drug interactions (DDIs) and adverse drug reactions (ADR) are experienced by many patients, especially by elderly population due to their multiple comorbidities and polypharmacy. Databases such as PubMed contain hundreds of abstracts with DDI and ADR information. PubMed is being updated every day with thousands of abstracts.

A Text Mining Protocol for Predicting Drug-Drug Interaction and Adverse Drug Reactions from PubMed Articles.

Drug-drug interactions (DDIs) and adverse drug reactions (ADRs) occur during the pharmacotherapy of multiple comorbidities and in susceptible individuals. DDIs and ADRs limit the therapeutic outcomes in pharmacotherapy. DDIs and ADRs have significant impact on patients' life and health care cost.

The Neuroprotective Properties, Functions, and Roles of Cannabis sativa in Selected Diseases Related to the Nervous System.

Background: Cannabis and its extracts are now being explored due to their huge health benefits. Although, the effect they elicit, whether on humans or rodents, may vary based on the age of the animal/subject and or the time in which the extract is administered. However, several debates exist concerning the various medical applications of these compounds.

Protects d-Galactose/AlCl Mediated Alzheimer's Disease-Like Rats via PP2A/GSK-3β Signaling Pathway in Their Hippocampus.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder more prevalent among the elderly population. AD is characterised clinically by a progressive decline in cognitive functions and pathologically by the presence of neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs), deposition of beta-amyloid (Aβ) plaque and synaptic dysfunction in the brain. (CA) is a valuable herb being used widely in African, Ayurvedic, and Chinese traditional medicine to reverse cognitive impairment and to enhance cognitive functions.

Protective Effects of on Cognitive Deficits Induced by D-gal/AlCl₃ via Inhibition of Oxidative Stress and Attenuation of Acetylcholinesterase Level.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder with cholinergic dysfunctions and impaired redox homeostasis. The plant (CA) is renowned for its nutritional benefits and herbal formulas for promoting health, enhancing cognition, and its neuroprotective effects. The present study aims to investigate the protective role of CA on D-gal/AlCl₃-induced cognitive deficits in rats.

d-galactose and aluminium chloride induced rat model with cognitive impairments.

Cognitive impairments and cholinergic dysfunctions have been well reported in old age disorders including Alzheimer's disease (AD). d-galactose (D-gal) has been reported as a senescence agent while aluminium act as a neurotoxic metal, but little is known about their combined effects at different doses. The aim of this study was to establish an animal model with cognitive impairments by comparing the effects of different doses of co-administrated D-gal and aluminium chloride (AlCl).

Inhibitory Activity of var. Aqueous Extract on Lipopolysaccharide-Induced TNF- Production from Microglia.

Objective: To explore the effect of (FD) aqueous extracts on the release of tumor necrosis factor- (TNF-), the expression of CD40, and the morphology of microglial cells in lipopolysaccharide- (LPS-) activated BV2 cells.

Methods: The cytotoxicity of FD extract was assessed by MTS solution. BV2 cells were divided into 5 experimental groups, intervened, respectively, by FD (4 mg/mL) and LPS + FD (0, 1, 2, and 4 mg/mL).

Asiaticoside Inhibits TNF-α-Induced Endothelial Hyperpermeability of Human Aortic Endothelial Cells.

The increase in endothelial permeability often promotes edema formation in various pathological conditions. Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), a pro-atherogenic cytokine, impairs endothelial barrier function and causes endothelial dysfunction in early stage of atherosclerosis. Asiaticoside, one of the triterpenoids derived from Centella asiatica, is known to possess antiinflammatory activity.

Antidepressant-like effects of omega-3 fatty acids in postpartum model of depression in rats.

Postpartum depression (PPD) is a psychiatric disorder that occurs in 10-15% of childbearing women. It is hypothesized that omega-3 fatty acids, which are components of fish oil, may attenuate depression symptoms. In order to examine this hypothesis, the animal model of postpartum depression was established in the present study.
