    Effect of praziquantel on the structure of liver and small intestine in mice
    (Mahidol University. Mahidol University Library and Knowledge Center, 1991) Kledkaew Panyong; Prasert Sobhon; Suchart Upatham; Chaitip Wanichanon
    The histological and ultrastructural changes occurring in the liver and small intestine of mice were examined by light and transmission electron microscopy, following the oral administration of praziquantel at the dosages of 250 mg/kg/day for 5... of lipid droplets, mitochondrial swelling, degeneration and clumping of chromatin and the presence of intranuclear inclusions. In comparison to the liver cells, the intestinal epithelial cells showed only mild degenerative changes consisting of decreased

    The acute stimulatory effect of prolaction on active calcium absorption in rat intestine
    (Mahidol University. Mahidol University Library and Knowledge Center, 2024) Premtip Thaveeratitham; Nateetip Krishnamra; Liangchai Limlomwongse; Chumpol Pholpramool
    The acute effect of prolactin on active calcium absorption was investigated in weaned, young, sexually mature and aged female Wistar rats by using everted gut sac technique. The serosal/mucosal or [S]/[M] ratio of 45Ca concentration was used... as an index of active calcium transport. The data showed that intraperitoneal injection of 0.02 mg prolactin/100 g BW, 5 and 10 minutes before experiment could increase the active calcium transport in the duodenum but not other intestinal segments of sexual

    Infectious drug resistance in Thailand. VI. Effect of a small dose of tetracycline on intestinal Escherichia coli
    (1973-01-01) V. Meevootisom; W. D. Sawyer; Mahidol University
    Studies carried out reaffirmed the high prevalence of drug resistant E. coli in the intestinal flora of healthy residents of Thailand and confirmed that the organisms often exhibit infectious drug resistance. The regular administration of small... doses of tetracycline promoted uniform colonization of the gastrointestinal tract by drug resistant E. coli but did not affect the distribution of smooth and rough bacteria. The findings indicated that smooth E. coli dominated the intestinal E. coli

    process was studied on gene and protein level using procollagen 1a1 (Col1α1), heat shock protein 47 (Hsp47), fibronectin (Fn2), and plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (Pai-1). The effects of potential antifibrotic drugs mainly inhibiting the transforming... potential preclinical screening tool for antifibrotic drugs. We demonstrated that sunitinib reduced the expression of several fibrosis markers, warranting further evaluation of this compound for the treatment of intestinal fibrosis.

    Cellular mechanisms underlying the inhibitory effect of flufenamic acid on chloride secretion in human intestinal epithelial cells
    (2017-06-01) Pawin Pongkorpsakol; Chantapol Yimnual; Varanuj Chatsudthipong; Vatcharin Rukachaisirikul; Chatchai Muanprasat; Mahidol University; Prince of Songkla University
    via mechanisms involving AMPK activation and NF-κB-suppression. The present study aimed to investigate the effect of FFA on transepithelial Cl− secretion in human intestinal epithelial (T84) cells. FFA inhibited cAMP-dependent Cl− secretion in T84 cell... monolayers with IC50 of ∼8 μM. Other fenamate drugs including tolfenamic acid, meclofenamic acid and mefenamic acid exhibited the same effect albeit with lower potency. FFA also inhibited activities of CFTR, a cAMP-activated apical Cl− channel, and KCNQ1/KCNE

    Black ginger extract and its active compound, 5,7-dimethoxyflavone, increase intestinal drug absorption via efflux drug transporter inhibitions
    (2023-06-01) Boonnop R.; Meetam P.; Siangjong L.; Tuchinda P.; Thongphasuk P.; Soodvilai S.; Soodvilai S.; Mahidol University
    ,7-dimethoxyflavone (DMF) on drug efflux mediated by breast cancer resistance proteins (BCRP) and P-glycoprotein (P-gp) in Caco-2 cells and heterologous cell systems [Madin-Darby canine kidney type II (MDCKII) stably transfected with human BCRP (MDCKII/BCRP) or human... or P-gp. The effect of the extract on 3H-Digoxin and 3H-Estrone sulfate transport was related to a decrease in efflux ratio. Likewise, DMF (5 μM) significantly increased 3H-Digoxin and 3H-Estrone sulfate absorption with a decreased efflux ratio compared

    Histopathology of small intestine induced by cisplatin in male Wistar rats
    (2013-11-12) Sarawoot Palipoch; Chuchard Punsawad; Dutsadee Chinnapun; And Prasit Suwannalert; Walailak University; Mahidol University
    Cisplatin, cis-diamminedichloroplatinum (II) is a highly effective drug used to treat several cancers. Unfortunately, it has various clinical side effects affecting many tissues. However, small intestine toxicity induced by cisplatin has been rare... reports to date. This study aims to investigate the pathology of small intestine upon cisplatin treatment at various doses using histological techniques. Male Wistar rats were divided into 5 groups: group 1 was intraperitoneally (IP) injected with normal

    evaluated for use in tablet film coating. Effects of CS-MAS ratio and coating level on water uptake and drug release from the coated tablets were investigated. Surface and film matrix morphology of the coated film and the effect of enzymes in the simulated... gastro-intestinal fluid on drug release were also examined. The results demonstrated that the CS-MAS coated tablets had a rough surface and a layered matrix film, whereas a smooth surface and dense matrix film on the CS coated tablets was found. However

    Characterization and in vitro evaluation of intestinal absorption of liposomes encapsulating zanamivir
    (2011-07-01) Boontarika Boonyapiwat; Narong Sarisuta; Sarinnate Kunastitchai; Thailand Ministry of Public Health; Mahidol University
    Zanamivir is currently used for the treatment of H1N1 and H5N1 influenza viruses. Due to its highly hydro-philic property, zanamivir has poor oral bioavailability. Liposomal formulations are known to improve oral absorption of hydrophilic drugs.... The present study investigates the effect of liposomes encapsulating zanamivir on the permeation of zanamivir across Caco-2 monolayers. Among the formulations studied, neutral liposomes composed of Phospholipon ® 90 G and cholesterol at molar ratio of 7:3
