Nitric oxide (NO) is a compound that causes systemic vasodilation; a decrease in NO reduces cerebral blood flow after TBI. There is an increase in TNF-α levels demonstrated by mononuclear cells surrounding the traumatic lesion in the rat brain. &lt;em&gt;Raphanus sativus &lt;/em&gt;(radish) is a root vegetable belonging to the Brassicaceae family, which has anti-diabetic effects by lowering blood glucose levels, reducing lipid peroxidation, and improving brain function, thereby protecting against neurotoxic effects associated with oxidative stress in experimental mouse models. &lt;strong&gt;Objective: &lt;/strong&gt;To evaluate the efficacy of radish extract &lt;em&gt;(Raphanus sativus)&lt;/em&gt; in reducing TNF-α and nitric oxide levels in a rat model of type II diabetes mellitus with traumatic brain injury. Method: This study was an in vivo laboratory experimental study with a post-test only control group design. The study population consisted of 25 Wistar rats, which were then induced with diabetes and subjected to a modified Feeney Model closed head injury. After complete data collection, KGD and ELISA assessments were performed, followed by data analysis. &lt;strong&gt;Results: &lt;/strong&gt;There were significant differences (p&amp;lt;0.05) in serum NO and serum TNF-α levels between the normal group, the 100 mg/kg radish extract group, the 300 mg/kg radish extract group, and the 500 mg/kg radish extract group compared to the negative control group. This indicates that radish extract, starting at a dose of 100 mg/kg, can reduce serum NO and serum TNF-α levels. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion: &lt;/strong&gt;Radish extract &lt;em&gt;(Raphanus sativus)&lt;/em&gt; is effective in reducing TNF-α and nitric oxide levels in a Wistar rat model of type II DM with traumatic brain injury.&lt;/p&gt;

Several studies have stated that &lt;em&gt;Piper crocatum&lt;/em&gt; leaves extract has anti-inflammatory effects.&lt;em&gt; Piper crocatum &lt;/em&gt;leaves contain different secondary metabolites alkaloids, flavonoids, tannin-polyphenols, steroids, terpenoids, and saponins. The purpose of this study was to determine the anti-inflammatory effect of &lt;em&gt;Piper crocatum &lt;/em&gt;leaves extract and fraction on the production of nitric oxide in lipopolysaccharideinduced RAW 264.7 cells. Anti-inflammatory effect of methanol extract of&lt;em&gt; Piper crocatum&lt;/em&gt; leaves (MEPC), n-hexane fraction of &lt;em&gt;Piper crocatum &lt;/em&gt;leaves (HFPC), ethyl acetate fraction of &lt;em&gt;Piper crocatum &lt;/em&gt;leaves (EAFPC), and n-butanol fraction of &lt;em&gt;Piper crocatum&lt;/em&gt; leaves (BFPC) against RAW 264 cell macrophages, 7 Lipopolysaccharide-induced (LPS). Extraction of &lt;em&gt;Piper crocatum &lt;/em&gt;leaves was the maceration method. Cell viability was determined by the MTT method in the concentration range of 12.5;25;50;100;200 ug/ mL. The anti-inflammatory effects of MEPC, HFPC, EAFPC and BFPC were tested against nitric oxide (NO) production inhibition in LPS-induced RAW 264.7 macrophage cells. NO levels were determined by the NO Colorimetric Assay Kit as measured by the ELISA plate reader. The viability test of MEPC, HFPC, EAFPC, and BFPC from &lt;em&gt;Piper crocatum&lt;/em&gt; leaves showed the concentrations that gave the percentage of viability above 80% were concentrations of 100, 50, and 25 g/mL. MEPC, HFPC, EAFPC, and BFPC at concentrations of 100, 50, 25 μg/mL could significantly inhibit NO production with p&amp;lt;0.05 (p=0.000). The highest NO production inhibition effect was on EAFPC. MEPC, HFPC, EAFPC, and BFPC have antiinflammatory effects, with the highest effect on EAFPC.&lt;/p&gt;

Antioxidant capacity was evaluated in 50%, 70%, 96% and aqueous ethanolic extracts by 2,2-Diphenyl-1-Picrylhydrazyl reduction, malondialdehyde inhibition in oxidized erythrocytes with H&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt;O&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt; and correlating with polyphenol content equivalent to gallic acid/gram dry extract. Inflammation was evaluated by inoculating carrageenan 2% in &quot;subcutaneous air bag&quot; of mice: 1) White, 2) carrageenan, 3) dexamethasone 2 mg/kg, 4-6) ethanolic extract 70% doses 100, 250 and 500 mg/kg respectively; determining nitric oxide, malondialdehyde, total proteins, albumin, leukocytes in exudate and histological changes. &lt;strong&gt;Results: &lt;/strong&gt;Alkaloids, flavonoids, terpenes, phenolic compounds, tannins, carbohydrates, triterpenes, steroids and sesquiterpene lactones were identified; aqueous extract presented greater reduction of 2,2-Diphenyl-1-Picrylhydrazyl (CI50 = 58.99 μg/mL), ethanolic extract 70% presented greater inhibition of malondialdehyde in erythrocytes (CI50 = 16.44 nm/mL); It was observed that the higher the amount of polyphenols, the greater the reduction of 2,2-Diphenyl-1-Picrylhydrazyl (r=-0.909) and the greater the inhibition of malondialdehyde (r=-0.781). With 500 mg/kg of 70% ethanolic extract there was greater anti-inflammatory effect inhibiting malondialdehyde, nitric oxide, albumin, total proteins and leukocytes in 55.55%, 81.92%, 41.20%, 31.51% and 32.45% (p&amp;lt;0.01) respectively and less infiltration of leukocytes and lymphocytes in air sac membrane. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion: &lt;/strong&gt;The extracts of aerial parts of &lt;em&gt;Chuquiraga spinosa&lt;/em&gt; showed antioxidant capacity correlated to polyphenol content. The 70% ethanolic extract prevented inflammation in mice in a dosedependent manner.&lt;/p&gt;

RT - PCR was used to examine the expression of the iNOS gene in activated macrophages. The Statistical analysis for multiple comparisons was evaluated by one way ANOVA followed by the Dunnett’s test when significant differences were detected. The data were considered to be statistically significant at &lt;em&gt;p&lt;/em&gt; &amp;lt; 0.001, &lt;em&gt;p&lt;/em&gt; &amp;lt; 0.01 and &lt;em&gt;p&lt;/em&gt; &amp;lt; 0.05.&lt;strong&gt; Results: &lt;/strong&gt;LPS stimulated RAW macrophages strongly up regulated the iNOS gene expression levels. The iNOS levels were significantly suppressed in the presence of different concentrations of tamarind extract, compared to LPS treatment alone. The tamarind extract also exhibited dose – dependent decrease in the production of NO. The IC&lt;sub&gt;50 &lt;/sub&gt;was found to be 35.69 μg/ml. LPS stimulated group showed 89.61 ± 0.47 % of NO. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; Nitric oxide production is found to be more in conditions such as periodontitis, oral squamous cell carcinoma and many other diseases. This study could prove the ability of tamarind fruit pulp extract to inhibit the production of nitric oxide and the iNOS gene expression. Hence, &lt;em&gt;Tamarind indica&lt;/em&gt; Linn pulp extract may be used as a good anti-inflammatory agent in periodontitis as well as in conditions associated with over production of nitric oxide in different cancers such as oral squamous cell carcinoma.&lt;/p&gt;

Either or both of oxidized low density lipoprotein (oxLDL) and glucose were applied to induce oxidative stress condition in human umbilical vein cultured (HUVCs) to observe superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity, nitric oxide (NO) level and morphological changes. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; Total polyphenol and flavonoid were 51.04 &amp;plusmn; 0.91 mg GAE/g and 0.13 &amp;plusmn; 0.01 mg catechin/g of dried weight (DW), respectively. Free radical reduction efficiency of crude extract observed by 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) assay showed IC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt; value of 329.6 &amp;mu;g of vitamin C equivalent/mg of extracts. Frap value was showed 428.54 &amp;plusmn; 15.32 mM FeII equivalent/g of DW. The result observing in HUVCs showed that comparing to the control, SOD activity, NO and MDA level were maintained in 0.05 mg/mL of &lt;em&gt;L. leucocephala &lt;/em&gt;treated group, but NO and MDA level were lowered when comparing with oxLDL and glucose-induced oxidative stress. No change was observed in 0.05 mg/mL of &lt;em&gt;L. leucocephala&lt;/em&gt; treated group, comparing with control group. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; This study has been performed to exhibit the antioxidant activity of &lt;em&gt;L. leucocephala&lt;/em&gt; in endothelium functions and has been found to have an appropriate concentration at 0.05 mg/mL in reducing oxidative stress condition in impaired fasting blood glucose patients. Nevertheless, the optimal level for toxic activity in inhibition of cancer angiogenesis should be further investigated.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Original Article</style></work-type><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">148</style></section><auth-address><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ratikorn Chatchanayuenyong&lt;sup&gt;1,2&lt;/sup&gt;*, Patcharawan Sujayanont&lt;sup&gt;1,2&lt;/sup&gt;, Auranut Vuttivirojana&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

An equal volume of Griess reagent (1% sulphanilamide and 0.1% N-(L-naphthyl)-ethylene diamine dihydrochloride, dissolved in 2.5% H3PO4) was mixed with culture supernatant and color development was measured at 550 nm using a micro plate reader. The amount of nitrite in the culture supernatant was calculated from a standard curve (0&amp;ndash;100 &amp;mu;M) of sodium nitrite freshly prepared in deionized water. Percentage of the NO inhibition was calculated by using nitrate level of IFN-&amp;gamma;/LPS-induced group as the control. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; Isolated compounds, tetraprenyltoluquinone, rubraxanthone and &amp;alpha;-mangostin from stem bark of &lt;em&gt;Garcinia cowa&lt;/em&gt; Roxb were evaluated for their anti-inflammatory activity. Only &amp;alpha;-mangostin exhibited strong anti-inflammatory activity with 83.42 % inhibition of NO and without inducing severe cytotoxicity at 50&lt;em&gt; &amp;mu;&lt;/em&gt;M. Rubraxanthone showed weak inhibition of NO with 23.86 % inhibition of NO while maintained 77.32 % of cell viability. TPTQ also showed the strong inhibition of NO with 80.98 % inhibition but unfortunately this compound also induced severe cytotoxicity with 39.62% viability. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; &amp;alpha;-Mangostin exhibited strong anti-inflammatory activity without inducing severe cytotoxicity at 50 &lt;em&gt;&amp;mu;&lt;/em&gt;M. Rubraxanthone showed weak inhibition of NO while Tetraprenyltoluquinone also showed the strong inhibition of NO however this compound also induced severe cytotoxicity.&lt;/p&gt;

Br. (Apocyanaceae), rhizomes of &lt;em&gt;Alpinia galanga&lt;/em&gt; Sw. (&lt;em&gt;Zingiberaceae&lt;/em&gt;), whole plant of &lt;em&gt;Picrorhiza kurroa&lt;/em&gt; Royle ex Benth. (Plantaginaceae), fruits of Trapa natans L. (Trapaceae) for their &lt;em&gt;in vitro&lt;/em&gt; antidiabetic and immunomodulatory activities, commonly used by the Trichigadi tribes (Kotas) of south India for various inflammatory disorders. &lt;strong&gt;Materials and Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; Antidiabetic activity of these herbal extracts was assessed through inhibition of glycosylation of hemoglobin and glucose uptake in yeast cells methods at 50, 100 and 200 &amp;mu;g/mL for 72 h. Their respective immunomodulatory activities were evaluated through preservation of heat and hypotonic induced hemolysis, nitroblue terazolium assay and by inhibition of TNF-&amp;alpha; and nitric oxide (NO) production in RAW cell lines. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; B. erecta has shown least cytotoxicity (CTC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt; 15.7%) and highest % inhibition of TNF-&amp;alpha; (58.1) and NO (45.6), statistically significant (p&amp;lt;0.01) to that of normal control. Also, B. erecta (BE), and P. acuminate (PA) exhibited relatively better IC50 values for TNF-&amp;alpha; and NO at a concentration less than their respective CTC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt; values. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusions&lt;/strong&gt;: Spectral analysis of chloroform fraction of BE hydro-alcoholic extract established the presence of biologically active molecule in it. Root and stem parts of BE extract not only proved to be safe but also demonstrated relatively better efficacy than other established medicinal herbs in selected immune models, may be due to flavonoids or phenolic groups. Further &lt;em&gt;in vivo&lt;/em&gt; studies on active molecule of BE towards antidiabetic and immunomodulatory activity are warranted.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">3</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Original Article</style></work-type><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">336</style></section><auth-address><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Suresh Kumar Karri, Angappan Sheela* &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
