Turmeric (Curcuma domestica Val.) is a traditional Indonesian plant that has many benefits. Curcuminoids are turmeric compounds known to have effects as immunomodulators and been proven in several vivo tests. Immunosuppressive drugs such cyclophosphamide widely given improve clinical symptoms autoimmune patients cancer treatment which can cause susceptibility infection.Therefore,this study aime...

The effect of alcoholic extracts of the aerial parts of fagonia cretica on estrous cycle and implantation in female albino rats was studied, It induced random omission of heat phase in eh estrous cycle and exhibited 100% anti implantation activity without exhibiting any toxic manifestation, However it was found to have some strong androgenic antiprogestational activity, and immunostimulating pr...

Abstract Phototherapy usually includes photodynamic therapy (PDT) and photothermal (PTT) to induce cell death. PDT utilizes the sensitization of photosensitizers generate reactive oxygen species by intersystem crossing while PTT undergoes nonradiative decay heat. Cancer immunotherapy has evolved as a new therapeutic modality eradicate tumor cells activating antigen-presenting cells, thus, induc...

The in vitro effects of isoprinosine (ISO) on interleukin-2 (IL-2) production, the expression of Tac antigen (IL-2 receptor) on lymphocytes, and the ability of Leu 3(+) cells to absorb interleukin-1 (IL-1) were investigated in 10 patients with acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS). In 9 of the 10 patients, production of IL-2 from mononuclear cells and Leu 3(+) cells was depressed; expressi...

In an in vitro experiment commercially available probiotic products were tested for the survival of bacteria under conditions of simulated human digestion either when used alone or mixed into yogurt. In the in vivo experiment the effects of feeding a whey- and milk-based yogurt prepared with the probiotic strain showing adequate survival in the in vitro experiment, was measured on body weight, ...

The immunostimulating effect of Pelargonium reinforme / sidoides extract (Kalobin) against Prohemistomum vivax infection in mice was investigated. Five groups of mice were constructed. The first group was not treated nor infected and considered as control, the second group; control infected, was not treated but orally infected with 150 P. vivax metacercareae. The third, fourth and fifth groups ...

This vignette describes the R hglm package via a series of applications that may be of interest to applied scientists. The hglm package implements the estimation algorithm for hierarchical generalized linear models. The package fits generalized linear models with random effects, where the random effect may come from a conjugate exponential-family distribution (Gaussian, Gamma, Beta or inverse-G...
