Hepatoprotective and curative activities of aqueous extract of decoction containing 10 Chinese medicinal herbs (HPE-XA-08) were evaluated in Sprague-Dawley albino rats with liver damage induced by thioacetamide (TAA). These activities were assessed by investigating the liver enzymes level and also histopathology investigation. Increases in alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and gamma-glutamyl transfera...

Upper extremity musculoskeletal symptoms and disorders are common in the working population. The economic and social impact of such disorders is considerable. Long-time, dynamic repetitive exposure of the hand-arm system during manual handling operations (MHO) alone or in combination with static and postural effort are recognised as causes of musculoskeletal symptoms and disorders. The assessme...

Small RNAs are used to silence transposable elements (TEs) in many eukaryotes, which use diverse evolutionary solutions to identify TEs. In ciliated protozoans, small-RNA-mediated comparison of the germline and somatic genomes underlies identification of TE-related sequences, which are then eliminated from the soma. Here, we describe an additional mechanism of small-RNA-mediated identification ...
