Abstract:
Since the first so-called “medical marijuana” legislation was passed in California in 1996, a total of twenty states and the District of Columbia have passed laws permitting limited use of cannabis. Despite the changes in state laws, cannabis remains illegal for any purpose under federal law. Changes in state laws have coincided with a renewed interest in the substance for the treatment of a variety of conditions. There has been a significant increase in published data over the past twenty years examining the efficacy of cannabis as an appetite stimulant, antiemetic agent, and analgesic adjuva

Pharmaceutical Sciences<br>Ph.D.<br>Triptolide (TPL), a diterpenoid triepoxide that is extracted from a traditional Chinese herb called Tripterygium Wilfordii (also known as ‘Thunder God Vine’) has recently drawn increasing interests from pharmaceutical and biomedical researchers, especially in the aspect of its potential efficacy on multiple cancer treatment. TPL has shown significant growth and proliferation inhibition activities in a broad range of cancer cell types. Moreover, it has shown the inhibition of osteoclastogenesis by breast cancer bone metastasis. However, due to its limitation

Abstract:
Interest in complementary therapies appeared with people’s growing concern for a healthy lifestyle and as they search for ways of promoting health. The therapies range from the medicinal, such as homeopathy and herbal medicine, to the physical such as massage and manipulation. Many of the therapies, including acupuncture and ayurveda, have arisen in the East and been adapted for Westerners. Using techniques of manipulation and massage, osteopaths work on bones, joints, muscles and connective tissues of the musculoskeletal system to improve their functions and health of the whole body.

Abstract:
黑色素生成是為了保護皮膚細胞免受紫外光傷害的一個生化過程。在這過程中,黑色素在人類表皮底層的黑色素細胞的黑色素體內產生。該過程可以被基因,荷爾蒙或環境因素所影響。黑色素的製造量是依賴速度限制酶酪氨酸酶的活性,黑色素體的數量和大小,黑色素體通過黑色素細胞的偽足傳送致角質細胞的速度及黑色素體在角質細胞內的分佈。這些細胞過程會受皮膚顏色或紫外光曝光量的變化而影響。當黑色素的產生超過黑色素的降解,黑色素沉著毛病便出現。根據不同的皮膚類型,年齡組別及累積紫外光曝光程度而引發雀斑或黃褐斑的形成。很多治療方法市面上能夠提供,它們包括人工合成化粧品,激光,整容手術等。這些治療方法通常會產生副作用及蘊藏高風險。因此從天然物質裏尋找治療藥物便成了美容學的一個新的研究方向。在這研究裏,十種草本植物就從自古以來用作治療黑色素沉著毛病的傅統中藥中被挑選出來。那些草本植物被四種擁有不同極性的溶劑提取。小鼠黑色素細胞被用以篩選提取物的降黑色素能力。結果發現當歸的正己烷及二氯甲烷的提取物有正面效用。當歸的化學成份4-乙基間苯二酚、4-乙基苯酚及1-十四烷醇也能降低小鼠黑色素細胞的黑色素量。數種生化技術繼而被應用作研究有效化學物的藥理。他們包括西方墨點法、環磷酸腺苷測試、蛋白激酶A活性測試及酪氨酸酶活性測試。<br>Melanogenesis is a biochemical process designated

Abstract:
Conclusions. SBL showed its efficacy in treating the animal model of allergic rhinitis. Its mechanisms may be related to its suppressive action on PCA reaction, the production of TXB2 and the expression of eNOS, as well as its modulation of cytokines, including IL-4, IL-6, IL-8, GM-CSF and TNF-alpha, release from mast cells. The clinical trial showed that SBL had more beneficial action on the quality of life, in comparison to the placebo, in the domains of RE and BP. Some symptoms evaluations of PAR patients, including GF, NB and SF were more markedly improved in the SBL group when compared wi

Abstract:
Bioassays of total alkaloids of S. tuberosa samples representing the four types of chemical profiles were conducted on guinea pigs using citric acid aerosol for inducing cough. These results demonstrated their antitussive properties and thus suggested the possibility of other antitussive alkaloids than neotuberostemonine in S. tuberosa. So it became necessary to identify the major components in the samples of S. tuberosa representing the four types of chemical profiles.<br>Bioassays on guinea pigs of the four major components of S. tuberosa demonstrated their antitussive properties.

They can be divided into two groups, small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) and non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), according to their histological features. The poor prognosis of lung cancers may be partically based on the pronounced resistance to chemotherapeutic drugs. TA303, was isolated from a Chinese herb. The cytotoxicity of TA303 was determined by MTS method. Comparing to other antitumor drugs, e.g. MTX, 5-FU, Cyclophosphamide, Etoposide, Gemcitabine, Cisplatin and Epirubicin, TA303 possessed the

Abstract:
Asthma has long been considered as one of the most common health problems in the world. In Hong Kong, the prevalence of childhood asthma has increased from 4.8% in 1989, to 10.2% in 2002. In spite of the popularity of using Chinese herbs to treat asthma in Hong Kong, evidence on the effectiveness of herbal treatments is lacking. The Chinese herbal formula CUF2 is an innovative formula developed in the Institute of Chinese Medicine, The Chinese University of Hong Kong and it is composed of 5 commonly used Chinese herbs: Radix astragali, Cordyceps sinesis, Radix Scutellaria, Bulbus fritillariae
