O fibro edema gelóide atinge a dermo-hipodérmica, alterando microcirculação e adipócitos. Consiste em uma infiltração edematosa do tecido conjuntivo, seguida de polimerização da substância fundamental que, infiltrando-se nas tramas, produz uma reação fibrótica consecutiva. Além de ser desagradável esteticamente, é uma das principais queixas de pacientes na fisioterapia dermato-funcional. O objetivo do estudo foi analisar a ação do gel de Ginkgo Biloba e lecitina de soja associado ao ultrassom terapêutico no tratamento do fibro edema gelóide. Esta pesquisa envolveu 8 mulheres com idade entre 20 e 30 anos, sedentárias, sem dietas, não fumantes, não usuárias de contraceptivo, de corticóides e com FEG grau II na região glútea. O ultrassom terapêutico utilizado obedecia aos seguintes parâmetros: 3 MHz, no modo de emissão contínuo e área efetiva de radiação de 3,5 cm², intensidade 1,4 w/cm2, sendo aplicado por 10 minutos em cada área pré-marcada. Foram realizados 30 atendimentos, 3 vezes por semana nas dependências de uma faculdade de Teresina/PI. Para análise dos dados foram utilizados: a termografia, análise bioquímica dos exames de sangue, o protocolo de avaliação do fibro edema gelóide (PAFEG), fotos e questionário de satisfação das voluntárias. Os resultados confirmaram o benefício da associação do ultrassom terapêutico ao gel de Ginkgo Biloba e Lecitina de Soja no tratamento do fibro edema gelóide.Palavras-chave: Fisioterapia, fibro edema gelóide, ultra-som, gingko biloba.

Objectives. To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of aGinkgo bilobaextract for patients with early diabetic nephropathy.Methods. Randomised controlled trials (RCTs) conducted on adults with early diabetic nephropathy which usedGingko bilobaextract were included. The major databases were searched, and manufacturers ofGingko bilobaproducts were contacted for information on any published or unpublished studies. Two authors independently extracted the data from the included studies. Data analysis was conducted using Review Manager 5.0 software.Results. Sixteen RCTs were included.Ginkgo bilobaextract decreased the urinary albumin excretion rate (UAER), fasting blood glucose (FBG), serum creatinine (SCR), and blood urea nitrogen (BUN). The extract also improved hemorheology. The methodological quality in the included studies was low. The explicit generation of the allocation sequence was described in only 6 trials. None of the included trials were confirmed to use blinding. Three studies had observed adverse events. One study using angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEi) reported mild cough in both groups. No serious adverse effects were reported.Conclusions.Gingko bilobaextract is a valuable drug which has prospect in treating early diabetic nephropathy, especially with high UAER baseline level. The safety for early diabetic nephropathy is uncertain. Long-term, double-blinded RCTs with large sample sizes are still needed to provide stronger evidence.

Alzheimer’s disease is a brain neurodegenerative disorder, which is characterized with coordinative and cognitive dysfunctions with significant loss of memory. By the terms of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) the Alzheimer’s disease may occur because of: spleen or liver Qi deficiency with phlegm, spleen and kidney yang deficiency, Qi and blood stagnations and others. With the use of Ginkgo biloba the stagnated energy, the excretion of the mucus and blocked blood can be mobilized and the blood circulation can be promoted to the brain. This study includes 5 patients, 4 women and 1 man, aged from 55 to 78. All patients have the disease for more than 2 years and main symptom in all is dementia. All patients have done certain number of acupuncture treatment and were prescribed Ginkgo biloba 1g per day. After starting the treatment all patients have stated that their health condition is improved, their memory is better and are feeling warmth and circulation to the head and neck. For a chronic and lifetime disease like Alzheimer’s, the treatment with Gingko Biloba is also for lifetime and it is shown to be successful in its aim to slow down the progression of the disease and release the symptoms.

Herbal medicines reflect a significant portion of new interest in alternative therapies and Ginkgo biloba (GB) features significantly throughout this regard. The GB concentrate and any of its constituents are already thoroughly researched in terms of its impact on behavioral, physiological and psychological consequences linked with neurological and vascular conditions. The purpose of this survey was for assessing the awareness of medical applications of Gingko Biloba amongst dental students. A cross-sectional survey was conducted with a self-administered questionnaire with 10 queries circulated among 100 dental students. The questionnaire assessed the awareness about Ginkgo bilobatherapy in medical applications, their anti-dementia properties, anti alziemer properties, anti-ageing activity, anti-inflammatory activity, and its mechanism of action and side effects. The responses were recorded and analysed.8% of the respondents were aware of the medical applications of Gingko Biloba therapy.6 % were aware of the anti-dementia activity of Gingko Biloba therapy,5% were aware of anti alziemer properties of Gingko Biloba therapy,6% were aware of anti-ageing properties of Gingko Biloba therapy, 5% were aware of anti-inflammatory properties of Gingko Biloba therapy, 5% were aware mechanism of action and side effects of Gingko Biloba therapy. The awareness about the usage of Ginkgo biloba therapy in medicinal applications is low among dental students. Increased awareness programs and sensitization and continuing dental education programs along with greater importance to the curricular modifications, can further enhance knowledge and awareness about Ginkgo biloba therapy.

Bleomycin is an anti-neoplastic agent and its clinical usage is limited by its toxicity, which is mostly induced by oxygen radicals. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of Ginkgo biloba on plasma indices of oxidants induced by bleomycin in rats. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into five groups: none medicated or 0.9% NaCl injected or only Ginkgo biloba (orally, 100 mg/kg per day for 14 days) or only a single dose of bleomycin (intratracheal, 2.5 U/kg) or Gingko biloba and bleomycin-treated groups. After 14 days, blood was taken before the rats were sacrificed. The plasma was removed and stored at −85°C until the study day. Plasma superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) and xanthine oxidase (XO) enzyme activities with malondialdehyde and nitric oxide (NO) levels were studied. The levels of malondialdehyde and NO with activity of XO were higher in plasma of bleomycin group than the other groups (P B / 0.05). The activities of SOD and GSH-Px were increased in the bleomycin plus Gingko biloba group in comparison with the bleomycin group (P B / 0.05). There was a positive correlation between malondialdehyde and NO levels in the bleomycin group (r-/0.859, P B / 0.05). There were positive correlations between SOD and GSH-Px activities (r-/0.760, P B/0.05) and between XO activity and malondialdehyde level (r-/0.822, P B/0.05) in the bleomycin plus Gingko biloba group. In conclusion, it was thought that bleomycin induced oxidative stress can be prevented by Gingko biloba treatment via high anti-oxidant enzyme activity together with decreased radical production from XO.

Testicular Ischemia

Testicular torsion, a surgical emergency, could affect the endocrine and exocrine testicular functions. This study demonstrates histopathological and physiological effects of testicular ischemia/perfusion (I/R) injury and the possible protective effects of Ginkgo biloba treatment. Fifty adult male Wistar rats, 180–200 gm, were randomly divided into sham-operated, Gingko biloba supplemented, ischemia only, I/R, and Gingko biloba treated I/R groups. Overnight fasted rats were anaesthetized by Pentobarbital; I/R was performed by left testis 720° rotation in I/R and treated I/R groups. Orchiectomy was performed for histopathological studies and detection of mitochondrial NAD+. Determination of free testosterone, FSH, TNF-α, and IL1-βin plasma was performed. Plasma-free testosterone was significantly decreased, while plasma FSH, TNF-α, IL-1β, and testicular mitochondrial NAD+were significantly increased in I/R group compared to control group. These parameters were reversed in Gingko biloba treated I/R group compared to I/R group. I/R caused marked testicular damage and increased APAF-1 in the apoptotic cells which were reversed by Ginkgo biloba treatment. It could be concluded that I/R caused subfertility induced by apoptosis and oxidative stress manifested by the elevated testicular mitochondrial NAD+, which is considered a new possible mechanism. Also, testicular injury could be reduced by Gingko biloba administration alone.

This study investigated the effect of thermal processing methods, namely, boiling, microwaving, baking, and frying, on the 4'-O-methylpyridoxine (MPN) analogues of Gingko biloba seeds. All thermal processing methods decreased MPN, pyridoxine, and pyridoxal-5'-phosphate, total MPN (TMPN), and total vitamin B6 (VB6) contents but increased MPN-5'-glucoside and pyridoxamine contents. Baking and frying reduced TMPN content by 46.54%–54.67% and 46.54%–54.67%, respectively. Frying was identified as the optimal thermal processing method that maintains the VB6 compound content of G. biloba seeds at high levels (72.92%–84.62%). Principal component analysis revealed the different effects of thermal processing methods on MPN analogues in G. biloba seeds. The results of this study demonstrate that compared with other thermal processing methods, frying can better reduce the toxic compound content (TMPN) of G. biloba seeds and promote VB6 retention.
