This material was evidenced by safe in animal toxic study. The main aim of this study was to revise the traditional way of hot water extraction to fermentation so as to use up the original material and finding new activity. We tried to show the new activity through phytoestrogen and immune-competent cells from the host that administrated either of original remedy and the new fermented sample, plus activated water SRE. In mice, compromised host was prepared by cancer chemotherapeutic agent (Mitomycin-C). After administration of f-PMF to immno-suppressed animals, the effects by both samples were augmented by lymphocyte in number and functions, macrophage activities, anti-oxidative activity. However, the intense of effect was much more by fermented one but not by conventional one. The anti-oxidative assay was also carried out ex-vivo system by peritoneal macrophage that we proposed as suitable system for evaluating anti-oxidative assay. In our clinical study by 20 healthy volunteers, granulocyte and lymphocyte ratio was regulated as neutral in peripheral white blood cells, increasing one, two and three weeks after the administration of f-PMF. We have found the significant regulation of blood chemical factors that were important makers for the lifestyle-related diseases. The mechanism of augmentation by probing directory with immuno-electrophoretic method, generating new complement component, especially found by alternative pathway of complement. So we discussed the process concerning designed f-PMF molecule for activation of complement component and bound for the biological activity of each physical component. In a limited condition, fewer numbers of volunteers, the breast size was tending to increase along with the administration time. Including these evidences, we discussed the possibility of this traditional ethnic medicine, originally found and spread in the highland area in Thailand and Myanmar.展开更多

Objectives: Patients with post-Covid Mucormycosis presenting to the ENT OPD were included and evaluated for HbA1c, extent of disease, and subsequently underwent the required modality of management. Methods: A prospective observational study was done in 154 patients of mucormycosis and according to the extent of disease such as sinonasal involvement, orbital extension or intracranial extension, the HbA1c values were compared among themselves. Results: In our study, out of 154 patients, 86 (55.8%) patients have only sinonasal involvement, 30 (19.4%) patients have extension into orbit and 38 (24.6%) patients have intracranial spread. In patients with sinonasal involvement, mean HbA1c was 9.8 ± 2.41;in orbital extension, mean HbA1c was 12.7 ± 2.31 and in intracranial extension, mean HbA1c was 13.4 ± 1.98. Conclusion: In our study, elevated HbA1c is indicative of poor glycaemic control and positively correlated with increased invasiveness and aggressive fungal disease.展开更多
