The history of chemical investigations into the yellow components of turmeric can be traced from 1815. Although the major yellow component of turmeric, curcumin, often is represented as a 1,3-diketone in the solid state and in nonaqueous solution, it exists in the enol form. The struggle to identify the chemical structure of curcumin continued for nearly a century and was complicated by the difficult purification of curcumin and by the presence of two additional yellow components. Food remains the main use for turmeric (old spice); its use as a dye has diminished since the 19th century, but it may have pharmaceutical uses (new spice). 相似文献

Exogenous administration of chondroitin sulfate (CS) is widely practiced for the treatment of osteoarthritis, although the efficacy of this treatment has not been completely established by clinical studies. A reason for the inconsistency of the results may be the quality of the CS preparations, which are commercially available as dietary supplements. In this article, we describe the development of a new method of capillary electrophoresis (CE) for the quantification of CS concentrations, screening for other glycosaminoglycan or DNA impurities and determination of hyaluronan impurities in CS raw materials, tablets, hard capsules, and liquid formulations. Analysis is performed within 12 min in bare fused silica capillaries using reversed polarity and an operating phosphate buffer of low pH. The method has high sensitivity (lower limit of quantitation [LLOQ] values of 30.0 microg/ml for CS and 5.0 microg/ml for hyaluronan), high precision, and accuracy. Analysis of 11 commercially available products showed the presence of hyaluronan impurities in most of them (up to 1.5%). CE analysis of the samples after treatment with chondroitinase ABC and ACII, which depolymerize the chains to unsaturated disaccharides, with a previously described method (Karamanos et al., J. Chromatogr. A 696 (1995) 295-305) confirmed the results of hyaluronan determination and showed that the structural characteristics (i.e., disaccharide composition) of CS are very different, showing the different species or tissue origin and possibly affecting the therapeutic outcome. 相似文献

Background
Children with neuromuscular disorders with a progressive muscle weakness such as Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy and Spinal Muscular Atrophy frequently develop a progressive scoliosis. A severe scoliosis compromises respiratory function and makes sitting more difficult. Spinal surgery is considered the primary treatment option for correcting severe scoliosis in neuromuscular disorders. Surgery in this population requires a multidisciplinary approach, careful planning, dedicated surgical procedures, and specialized after care.Methods
The guideline is based on scientific evidence and expert opinions. A multidisciplinary working group representing experts from all relevant specialties performed the research. A literature search was conducted to collect scientific evidence in answer to specific questions posed by the working group. Literature was classified according to the level of evidence.Results
For most aspects of the treatment scientific evidence is scarce and only low level cohort studies were found. Nevertheless, a high degree of consensus was reached about the management of patients with scoliosis in neuromuscular disorders. This was translated into a set of recommendations, which are now officially accepted as a general guideline in the Netherlands.Conclusion
In order to optimize the treatment for scoliosis in neuromuscular disorders a Dutch guideline has been composed. This evidence-based, multidisciplinary guideline addresses conservative treatment, the preoperative, perioperative, and postoperative care of scoliosis in neuromuscular disorders. 相似文献45.
Anni 2.0 is an online tool () to aid the biomedical researcher with a broad range of information needs. Anni provides an ontology-based interface to MEDLINE
and retrieves documents and associations for several classes of biomedical concepts, including genes, drugs and diseases,
with established text-mining technology. In this article we illustrate Anni's usability by applying the tool to two use cases:
interpretation of a set of differentially expressed genes, and literature-based knowledge discovery. 相似文献

The results of a serological survey of livestock in Kazakhstan, carried out in 1997–1998, are reported. Serum samples from
958 animals (cattle, sheep and goats) were tested for antibodies to foot and mouth disease (FMD), bluetongue (BT), epizootic
haemorrhagic disease (EHD), rinderpest (RP) and peste des petits ruminants (PPR) viruses, and to Brucella spp. We also investigated the vaccination status of livestock and related this to changes in veterinary provision since independence
in 1991. For the 2 diseases under official surveillance (FMD and brucellosis) our results were similar to official data, although
we found significantly higher brucellosis levels in 2 districts and widespread ignorance about FMD vaccination status. The
seroprevalence for BT virus was 23%, and seropositive animals were widespread suggesting endemicity, despite the disease not
having being previously reported. We found a few seropositives for EHDV and PPRV, which may suggest that these diseases are
also present in Kazakhstan. An hierarchical model showed that seroprevalence to FMD and BT viruses were clustered at the farm/village
level, rather than at a larger spatial scale. This was unexpected for FMD, which is subject to vaccination policies which
vary at the raion (county) level. 相似文献

Background
High-throughput experiments, such as with DNA microarrays, typically result in hundreds of genes potentially relevant to the process under study, rendering the interpretation of these experiments problematic. Here, we propose and evaluate an approach to find functional associations between large numbers of genes and other biomedical concepts from free-text literature. For each gene, a profile of related concepts is constructed that summarizes the context in which the gene is mentioned in literature. We assign a weight to each concept in the profile based on a likelihood ratio measure. Gene concept profiles can then be clustered to find related genes and other concepts. 相似文献48.
