  • Survey on Ethnopharmacology of Medicinal Plants in Iloilo, Philippines
    2020
    Co-Authors: Rey G Tantiado
    Abstract:

    This study aimed to (1) categorize the diversity of medicinal plants in Tigbauan, Iloilo, Philippines based on their taxonomic rank; (2) document the traditional uses, preparations and Applications of medicinal plants (ethnopharmacology) by the local community; (3) determine the distribution, morphological forms, habitat and values of indigenous medicinal plant resources in Tigbauan, Iloilo; and lastly identify and enumerate the medicinal uses of each identified indigenous plants. Ethnopharmacological and taxonomic data of indigenous medicinal plants were collected in the study site through semi-structured interview and snowball sampling methods among knowledgeable elders, gardeners, healers, and traders. The taxonomic classification of the indigenous medicinal plants in Tigbauan, Iloilo was based on Cronquist’s System of classification. A total of 101 species, grouped within 92 genera, 44 families and 27 orders. The medicinal plants were described according to preparation techniques, mode of Application, Administration route, growth forms, habitat distribution, abundance and medicinal uses. Results showed a diversity of medicinal plants, traditional and ethnopharmacological knowledge about the uses, preparations and Applications present and maintained among the Tigbauenos. This study allowed the identification of many high value and high priority medicinal plant species, indicating high potential for economic development through sustainable collection and trade.

  • Hyaluronic acid, a promising skin rejuvenating biomedicine: A review of recent updates and pre-clinical and clinical investigations on cosmetic and nutricosmetic effects.
    International Journal of Biological Macromolecules, 2018
    Co-Authors: Syed Nasir Abbas Bukhari, Nur Liyana Roswandi, Muhammad Waqas, Haroon Habib, Fahad Hussain, Shahzeb Khan, Muhammad Sohail, Nor Amlizan Ramli, Zahid Hussain
    Abstract:

    Abstract Hyaluronic acid (HA) plays multifaceted role in regulating the various biological processes such as skin repairmen, diagnosis of cancer, wound healing, tissue regeneration, anti-inflammatory, and immunomodulation. Owing to its remarkable biomedical and tissue regeneration potential, HA has been numerously employed as one of the imperative components of the cosmetic and nutricosmetic products. The present review aims to summarize and critically appraise recent developments and clinical investigations on cosmetic and nutricosmetic efficacy of HA for skin rejuvenation. A thorough analysis of the literature revealed that HA based formulations (i.e., gels, creams, intra-dermal filler injections, dermal fillers, facial fillers, autologous fat gels, lotion, serum, and implants, etc.) exhibit remarkable anti-wrinkle, anti-nasolabial fold, anti-aging, space-filling, and face rejuvenating properties. This has been achieved via soft tissue augmentation, improved skin hydration, collagen and elastin stimulation, and face volume restoration. HA, alone or in combination with lidocaine and other co-agents, showed promising efficacy in skin tightness and elasticity, face rejuvenation, improving aesthetic scores, reducing the wrinkle scars, longevity, and tear trough rejuvenation. Our critical analysis evidenced that Application/Administration of HA exhibits outstanding nutricosmetic efficacy and thus is warranted to be used as a prime component of cosmetic products.

  • hyaluronic acid an efficient biomacromolecule for treatment of inflammatory skin and joint diseases a review of recent developments and critical appraisal of preclinical and clinical investigations
    International Journal of Biological Macromolecules, 2018
    Co-Authors: Lihui Chen, Zhi-yong Zheng, Muhammad Shuhaidi, Zahid Hussain
    Abstract:

    Hyaluronic acid (HA) plays multifaceted role in regulating various biological processes and maintaining homeostasis into the body. Numerous researches evidenced the biomedical implications of HA in skin repairmen, cancer prognosis, wound healing, tissue regeneration, anti-inflammatory, immunomodulation. The present review was aimed to summarize and critically appraise the recent developments and efficacy of HA for treatment of inflammatory skin and joint diseases. A thorough analysis of the literature revealed that HA based formulations (i.e., gels, creams, autologous graft, thin sheets, soaked gauze, gauze pad, tincture, injection) have shown remarkable efficacy in treating a wide range of inflammatory skin diseases. The safety, tolerability, and efficacy of HA (as intra-articular injection) have also been well-documented for treatment of various types of joint disease including knee osteoarthritic, joint osteoarthritis, canine osteoarthritis, and meniscal swelling. Intra-articular injection of HA produces remarkable reduction in joint pain, synovial inflammation, and articular swelling. A remarkable improvement in chondrocyte density, territorial matrix appearance, reconstitution of superficial amorphous layer of the cartilage, collagen remodelling, and regeneration of meniscus have also been evident in patients treated with HA. Conclusively, we validate that the Application/Administration of HA is a promising pharmacotherapeutic regimen for treatment of inflammatory skin and joint diseases.

  • trust adapted enforcement of security policies in distributed component structured Applications
    International Symposium on Computers and Communications, 2001
    Co-Authors: Peter Herrmann, Heiko Krumm
    Abstract:

    Software component technology on the one hand supports the cost-effective development of specialized Applications. On the other hand, however it introduces special security problems. Some major problems can be solved by the automated run-time enforcement of security policies. Each component is controlled by a wrapper which monitors the component's behavior and checks its compliance with the security behavior constraints of the component's employment contract. Since control functions and wrappers can cause substantial overhead, we introduce trust-adapted control functions where the intensity of monitoring and behavior checks depends on the level of trust, the component, its hosting environment, and its vendor have currently in the eyes of the Application Administration. We report on wrappers and a trust information service, outline the embedding security model and architecture, and describe a Java Bean based experimental implementation.
