Multiple Sclerosis Patients

Background: Multiple sclerosis is an autoimmune chronic inflammatory disease of the central nervous system that can lead to some serious disabilities. Despite using various immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory drugs that have therapeutic effects, they cannot reduce its progression completely, and have some unwanted side effects too. The immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory effects of the β-D-Mannuronic acid [M2000] have been proven in several surveys, and the present research was designed to determine its toxicity and therapeutic effects in MS patients. Methods: This study was performed on 15 MS patients who took 25 mg/kg/day the oral form of the β-D-Mannuronic acid for six months, and 15 healthy people as a control group. Serum levels of Urea, Creatinine, GGT, Vitamin D3, Uric acid, and Anti-Phospholipids were compared to evaluate the therapeutic and possible toxic effects of this drug after this period. Results: Non- toxic effects through the study of Urea, Creatinine, GGT, and non-significant changes in Uric acid and AntiPhospholipids levels, besides a significant rise in Vitamin, D3 levels in the M2000 treated cases were found. Conclusions: Our results suggested that β-D-Mannuronic acid is a safe drug and has no toxicity when administered orally and also has some therapeutic effects in MS patients.

This study was designed to study the cytokine modulatory activity of three lactic acid bacteria (LAB) strains, Weisella cibaria II-1-59, Weisella confusa JMC 1093, and Pediococcus pentosaceus DSM20336 isolated from a Nigerian locally fermented food condiment; “iru” using paw oedema acute inflammatory model induced with 1% formalin in Wistar rats. Rats were distributed into six groups (A-F). Rats in Groups A were neither administered formalin nor treated with LAB, while Group B received formalin injection only. Rats in Groups C, D, and E were  administered formalin and were treated orally with 2 × 107 CFU/ml of Weisella cibaria II-1-59, Weisella confusa JMC 1093, and Pediococcus pentosaceus DSM20336 respectively, while Group F received diclofenac sodium treatment following administration of formalin. The dose of LAB strain used for the oral treatment was 2 × 107 CFU/ml for all the groups while the dose of diclofenac sodium used was 150 mg/kg body weight of the rats. Paw thickness (mm) was checked at t = 0, 1, 4, 8, 24, 72, 168 and 336 h. Cytokine assay for C-reactive protein (CRP), Interleukin (IL-10) and Transforming growth factor (TGF-β) was performed on serum samples of the rats using Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Oral administration of W. cibaria II-1-59 showed the best significant decrease in the paw thickness of the rats, which was followed by P. pentosaceus DSM20336 and W. confusa JMC 1093 respectively, and was shown to be statistically significant at P<0.05. There was also a significant decrease (below standard 2000 pg/ml) in the secretion of pro-inflammatory biomarker (CRP) in all LAB treated groups at 1 hour, while there was an increase in the serum levels of anti-inflammatory cytokines IL-10 and TGF- β in Groups C-E rats which was maximally increased in W. confusa JMC 1093 treated rats. This study suggests that W. cibaria II-1-59, W. confusa JMC 1093 and P. pentosaceus DSM20336 possess anti-inflammatory potentials.

Inflammation is the host's protective response to any stimulus that harms the body. Excessive inflammatory process causes tissue damage. Therefore, an anti-inflammatory agent is needed. The use of natural ingredients, especially sea sponges, is an option to reduce the side effects of anti-inflammatory agents. This utilization is related to the discovery of new agents. So, we tested the effect of the ethanol extract of Petrosia sp. as an anti-inflammatory agent. Animal induced with 1% carrageenan and left for 1 hour. After that the animals were divided into 6 groups (n = 4) and given oral treatment, namely: Group I (normal group); Group II (negative group); Group III (ethanol extract of Petrosia sp. Concentration of 0.05mg/ml); Group IV (ethanol extract of Petrosia sp. Concentration 0.1mg/ml); Group V (ethanol extract of Petrosia sp. Concentration 0.2mg/ml); and Group VI (positive group, Diclofenac Sodium). After 1 hour, the animals were measured for edema volume and plasma TNF-α levels. Based on the research conducted, the ethanol extract of Petrosia sp. decreased edema volume and plasma TNF-α levels in inflammatory mice. The concentration of 0.2mg/mL had a significant effect on the negative control used (p <0.05). On the other hand, Petrosia sp. indicates the presence of alkaloids, flavonoids, and steroids. They may play an important role in the anti-inflammatory process. Thus, it can be concluded that the ethanol extract of Petrosia sp. has anti-inflammatory activity.

AbstractVitamin D is known as the bone hormone, it is also know that it has effects on cancer because of its anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory characteristics and its effects on cytokine levels. It is seen that vitamin D use together with radiotherapy can have a positive effect on cancer treatment. It should be investigated whether toxicities due to radiation is prevented by vitamin D metabolites’ increasing the induction of immunomodulator cells and the capacities of immune response cells. Use of 1,25[OH]2 Vitamin D3 analogs as an adjuvant immunomodulator for patients receiving radiotherapy should be evaluated. There is a need for studies to be done in this regard.

Objective: The current study was carried out to investigate the xanthine oxidase inhibitory, antihyperuricemic, anti-inflammatory, and antinociception activity of α-lipoic acid (LA) in gouty model of rats.Methods: Enzyme assay was done using bovine milk xanthine oxidase (XO). The XO inhibitory activity in vitro was performed using different doses of α-LA, and the degree of XO inhibition was expressed as IC50. The antihyperuricemic activity of α-LA was tested in the potassium oxonate-induced hyperuricemic rats for 7 consecutive days of oral treatment of 10, 25, and 50 mg/kg doses. The anti-inflammatory activity was achieved through monosodium urate crystal-induced inflammation hind paw model in mice. The antinociception effects of α-LA were explored using both of writhings induced by acetic acid test and hot plate test.Results: The study results revealed that the α-LA has a potent activity of XO inhibition with IC50 = 2.93 μg/mL. Furthermore, these results showed that all doses of α-LA were able to significant reduce of each the following: Serum uric acid levels in the hyperuricemic rats, hind paw thickness of mice at all periods of time assessment, and writhings number in the acetic acid-induced writhing test, while, the same doses significantly increased the reaction latency in mice at hot plate test.Conclusion: The α-LA showed a significant effect on the evaluated models, and therefore it may be a promising agent for the treatment of gout since it possesses XO inhibitory, antihyperuricemic, anti-inflammatory, and antinociception activity.
