Three-Dimensional Prediction of the Nose for Facial Approximation in a Thai Population.

Most of the previous studies about nose prediction were concentrated only some landmarks of the nose. This study aimed to generate prediction equations for ten landmarks of the nose in the midline and alar regions for forensic facial approximation. The six midline landmarks were the sellion, nasion-pronasale posterior, nasion-pronasale anterior, pronasale, nasal drop, and subnasale.

Molecular and cytogenetic effects of Thai royal jelly: modulation through c-MYC, h-TERT, NRF2, HO-1, BCL2, BAX and cyclins in human lymphocytes in vitro.

Royal jelly (RJ) is widely used as a food supplement for anti-aging and beauty. However, its use has been linked to asthma and hemorrhagic colitis. Since its mechanisms of toxicity have not been fully identified, we conducted an investigation to elucidate its molecular and cytogenetic effects.

Synergistic Genotoxic Effects and Modulation of Cell Cycle by Ginger Ethanolic Extracts in Adjunct to Doxorubicin in Human Lymphocytes In Vitro.

Background: Several natural phytochemicals are increasingly used, as an adjunct to chemotherapy, to reduce drug adverse effects. Zingiber officinale rhizome (ginger) product has been reported to be effective against nausea and vomiting in patients receiving emetogenic chemotherapy such as cisplatin/doxorubicin (DXR). In addition, its ethanolic extract of Zingiber officinale rhizome (EEZOR) has been reported to possess anticarcinogenic properties.

In vitro enhancement of doxorubicin genotoxic activities and interference with cell cycle delay by Plumbago indica root ethanolic extract in human lymphocytes.

Background: Combinations of modern medicines with herbal medicines are being developedfor more effectiveness. Data on the safety and drug-herb interactions are needed to be clarified. Ethanolic extract of Plumbago indica root (EEPIR) is medicinally usedfor cancer treatment in Asian traditional medicine.

Genotoxicity and interference with cell cycle activities by an ethanolic extract from Thai Plumbago indica roots in human lymphocytes in vitro.

In Thai traditional medicine, Plumbago indica or Jetamul-Pleung-Dang in Thai is known to have health benefit especially for anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and antitumor activities. However, the mechanisms of its action are still uncertain. One of which might be genotoxic effects.

Antigenotoxic activity of Thai Sangyod red rice extracts against a chemotherapeutic agent, doxorubicin, in human lymphocytes by sister chromatid exchange (SCE) assay in vitro.

Background: Nowadays, anticarcinogenic potential of pigmented brown rice and rice bran varieties have been increasingly stated. However, their mechanisms of action are still inconclusive. One of which might be their antigenotoxic activity that no study in human cells was reported before.
