The rats (n=24), average weight of 180g were randomly assigned into two treatment (n=16) and a control (n=8) group. The rats in the treatment groups received 0.5g/kg and 1g/kg of aqueous extract of Aspilia africana orally through orogastric tube in the first seven days of gestation, while the control rats received equal volume of distilled water without the extract of Aspilia added. The rats were fed with growers' mash and were given water liberally. After parturition, the kidney sections were obtained from the pups or neonates and processed for routine histological investigation. Histological changes observed in the kidney sections revealed loss of renal corpuscle and varying degree of cyto-architectural distortion of the cortical structures, with degenerative and atrophic changes. This suggests the direct cytotoxic action of aqueous extract of Aspilia africana resulting from placental transfer during pregnancy to the neonates. This study highlights the possible abnormalities that could result in a newborn when a pregnant animal is exposed to an aqueous extract of Aspilia africana during the seven days of gestation. The results of this experiment suggest that the functions of the kidney could also have been affected as a result of the massive cyto-archictectural distortion. It is recommended that further studies aimed at corroborating these observations be conducted.","PeriodicalId":107168,"journal":{"name":"The Internet Journal of Alternative Medicine","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130898895","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This is probably due to the increasing prevalence of human immunodeficiency virus infections, poverty and malnutrition, which predisposes to candida infections. There are anecdotal reports suggesting the efficacy of the Nigerian grown species of Jatropha multifida herbs in the management of oral candidiasis. Aims of the study: To determine the efficacy of Jatropha multifida in the management of oral candidiasis and compare its efficacy with that of oral Nystatin. Subjects and Method: All the clinically detected cases of children with oral candidiasis at the children's outpatient department of the State Hospital, Osogbo and children's welfare clinic of the Wesley Guild Hospital, Ilesa were randomized into either Jatropha multifadum Juice extract therapy or the Nystatin group. The juice extracts from the Jatropha multifada leaves were applied to the tongue and the oral mucosal areas affected by candida lesions as a single application in the patients randomized to this group. Oral Nystatin was administered 4 times a day, for 7 consecutive days to the children randomized to the Nystatin group. Results: A total of 5 patients (3 boys and 2 girls) were studied with their ages ranging from 2 to 10 months. Clearance of the white lesions on the tongue was defined as cure and this was recorded within 24 hours in the patients on Jatropha multifada juice extracts, while those on oral Nystatin showed features of cure at 48 hours. Conclusion: Jatropha multifada is efficacious in the management of oral candidiasis. Compared to oral Nystatin suspension, it has the advantages of acting faster and being efficacious as a single dose. Its use in the management of oral candidiasis is recommended in third world countries where it is easily cultivated and accessible.","PeriodicalId":107168,"journal":{"name":"The Internet Journal of Alternative Medicine","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125282587","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study we used corresponding points on the middle finger of hand of Korean Hand Therapy (KHT). Subjects and Methods: The 600 outpatients with primary headache were included. History, physical exam and routine laboratory tests were performed. On physical examination, we palpated head and middle finger together and compared with each other. We decided the right or left side and sites of one side. The palpated points were bilateral forehead, periorbital, preauricular, temporal, parietal, and occipital, 2-3 centimeter apart from midline of head and neck from forehead to occipital. On the middle finger we pressed KHT points such as Urinary Bladder micromeridian(I) I-1, I-2, I-3 and Gallbladder micromeridian(M) M-1, M-2, M-3, M-4, M-5, and M-6 using tip probe and or roller stimulator. Results: Among 400 migraineurs, 48 had pain sensitive points on the both sides of head and middle fingers, 196 had on the right side and 156 had on the left side. The painful sites were diffuse rather than localized. Among 200 patients with tension type headache, 67 had sensitive points on the right side along midline of head and middle finger, 105 had sensitive points on the left side along midline and 28 had sensitive points on both side along midline. Conclusion: For diagnosis and treatment of primary headache objectively and effectively, we can save the time to decide and to confirm location during physical examination if we apply corresponding points of KHT.","PeriodicalId":107168,"journal":{"name":"The Internet Journal of Alternative Medicine","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130342163","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Material and method: Thiobarbituric acid -reactive substances (TBARS), a measure of lipid peroxidation, Superoxide dismutase (SOD), Glutathion (GSH) and catalase (CAT) were determined in erythrocytes. Erythrocytes were prepared by classical washing method (0,9 %Nacl) from venous samples. A total of 42 rats were used in the study which were divided into 6 groups 7 rats in each as follows: control group or the sham-operated group, short ischemia-reperfusion, long ischemiareperfusion, short ischemia and reperfusion with ascorbic acid (AA), short ischemia and reperfusion with dexamethasone, the double extremity I-R with short duration groups. A non-traumatic vascular clamp (Acland, V3 vascular clamp) was placed accross the right iliac artery for 45 minutes in short ischemia and for 3 hours in long ischemia groups. Venous blood samples were taken to evaluate the Cat, SOD, GSH and TBARS levels in erythrocytes at the completion of reperfusion. Results: Elevated TBARS levels and decreased Cat, SOD and GSH levels in erythrocytes were seen after i-r of rat hindlimb (P<0.001). When compared with reperfusion with dexamethasone, AA had a more improved effect on antioxidant capacity of erythrocytes after ischemia of hindlimb in rats. Conclusions: Reperfusion with AA after ischemia resulted an improved antioxidant capacity preservation in erythrocytes. In clinical setting, addition of vitamin C to reperfusion solution may be benefical.","PeriodicalId":107168,"journal":{"name":"The Internet Journal of Alternative Medicine","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125802861","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
