| August 2013 | 732 surveyed symptoms of the patients one by one based on self-rated scales; however, in most previous studies, patients were evaluated by quality of life questionnaires, which are nor specific to IBS, and does not show the distinct impact of Aloe vera on patients complaints. To our knowledge, it is the first study using self‐rated questionnaires that shows Aloe vera can reduce ...

This study evaluated the diffusion through the dentinal tubules of hydroxyl ions from different calcium hydroxide (CH) pastes containing Aloe vera. Sixty single-rooted bovine teeth were used. The tooth crowns were removed, the root canals were instrumented and the specimens were assigned to 4 groups (n=15) according to the intracanal medication: Group CH/S - CH powder and saline paste; Group CH...

Localized mRNAs are directed to their destinations by "localization elements" (LEs) in their 3'UTRs. LEs harbor multiple, functionally redundant localization "signals." These signals are poorly defined, hence it is unclear whether the signals-and their cognate factors-are unique to each RNA or employed generally. Five "E2s" (UUCACs) in the 366 nt Vg1 LE (VgLE) direct this transcript to the vege...

This research was aimed to investigate anti-inflammatory effects of Aloe vera on leukocyte-endothelium in the gastric microcirculation of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori)-infected rats. Thirty-six male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into 3 groups: control, H. pylori-infected, and A. vera-treated group (200 mg/kg b.w., twice daily). H. pylori-inoculation was induced in the rats by the administr...

Our knowledge of the genetic basis of these disorders began in 2005, when a unique base substitution in JAK2, the gene encoding Janus kinase 2,was found inpatientswith polycythemia vera, essential thrombocythemia, and primary myelofibrosis. The background of our investigations was the previous finding that copy-neutral loss of heterozygosity of chromosome 9p (9pLOH) is the most common chromosom...

PURPOSE The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of local application of aloe vera gel as an adjunct to scaling and root planning in the treatment of patients with chronic periodontitis. MATERIAL...

The tree species, Pistacia vera (P. vera) is an important commercial product that is salt-tolerant and long-lived, with a possible lifespan of over one thousand years. Gene expression analysis is an efficient method to explore the possible regulatory mechanisms underlying these characteristics. Therefore, having the most suitable set of reference genes is required for transcript level normaliza...

Background. The use of aloe vera is being promoted for a large variety of conditions. Often general practitioners seem to know less than their patients about its alleged benefits. Aim. To define the clinical effectiveness of aloe vera, a popular herbal remedy in the United Kingdom. Method.
