Role of immunoreactive patterns of lymph nodes in neck dissection cases of oral squamous cell carcinoma: a clinical and histopathological study.

Objectives: Metastasis in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) can occur in a variety of ways, and draining lymphatics and lymph nodes serve as a common route. Prior to metastasis, lymph nodes elicit an immune response to either wall off or create a favorable environment for homing of tumor cells. This immune response to tumor stimuli is visualized by recognizing various immunoreactive patterns exhibited by the lymph node.

Beneficial role of Terminalia arjuna hydro-alcoholic extract in colitis and its possible mechanism.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Terminalia arjuna Roxb. (Combretaceae) is traditionally used in Ayurveda medicine and holds ethnomedicinal importance for treatment of gastrointestinal disorders. In view of its anti-inflammatory, antidiarrheal and antioxidant potential, it could be beneficial for the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), which is associated with interaction between genetic, environmental factors and intestinal microbiome leading to dysregulated immune responses.

Neuroprotective effect of epalrestat mediated through oxidative stress markers, cytokines and TAU protein levels in diabetic rats.

Aims: Type-2 diabetes mellitus (DM) is associated with cognitive impairment. Increasing evidence establishes that neuro-inflammatory and oxidative stress condition plays a main role in the development of neurodegeneration.

Resolving Identification Issues of from Its Adulterant and Commercial Samples Using Phytochemical Markers.

Unlabelled: (Roxb.) De Wilde (Ashoka) is a highly valued endangered medicinal tree species from Western Ghats of India. Besides treating cardiac and circulatory problems, provides immense relief in gynecological disorders.

Combination of DNA isolation and RP-HPLC analysis method for bark samples of Saraca asoca and its adulterant.

DNA fingerprinting singly or in combination with phytochemical analysis is ideal for quality control of crude plant-based drugs. However, when the source material is tannin rich stem bark, extraction of DNA by conventional methods becomes challenging. In such cases, phytochemical profiling serves as very useful tool for its identification.

Stability studies of pure and mixture form of curcuminoids by reverse phase-HPLC method under various experimental stress conditions.

Since time immemorial, turmeric has been widely marketed and consumed as dietary supplement due to its diverse medicinal properties. Curcuminoids-comprising a mixture of curcumin (CUR), demethoxycurcumin (DMC), and bisdemethoxycurcumin (BDMC)-are the prime bioactive constituents of turmeric. However, the usage of curcuminoids is limited by their chemical instability.
