The use of scorpion venom has a very old history in traditional medicine for thousands years ago in China, India and Africa worldwide. The inhibition of cancer progression and induce apoptosis have shown in an increasing number in-vitro and in-vivo studies. We accomplished this systematic review to evaluate the performance of scorpion venom and its components in the growth inhibition of cancer cell lines. To provide a full data for future researches, the in-vitro and in-vivo studies were adopted in this research. The literature search for the published articles from January 1st, 1968 to January 1th, 2018 was done in PubMed, ISI Web of Science, Scopus, and Science Direct. All the articles were independently screened by applying some predefined criteria by two reviewers in three consecutive steps. We identified 53 eligible studies from among 1,209 studies. So far, scorpion venom and its components have been discovered to inhibit the growth of 38 various types of cancer cell lines. This was the first systematic review includes some tables that provided...

Chitin is the second most important natural amino polysaccharide polymer after cellulose in the world. The main sources exploited are marine crustaceans, shrimp, and crab apart from that some other lobstera, insects, sulphur butter and fungi. Chitosan is the most important natural based common cationic polymer got from chitin has gotten developing consideration for the most part due to their bio-degradable, bio-compatible, bio-renewable and non-lethal properties. The deacetylated chitin derivative chitosan is a useful and interesting bioactive polymer; it has a large pharmaceutical application either. It has numerous reactive amino side groups, which offer possibilities of chemical modifications, formation of a large variety of beneficial derivatives. Chitosan has been found to be used as a support material for pharmaceutical application, gene delivery, cell culture, and tissue engineering. This review is based on the various pharmacological activity of chitosan such as wound healing, anti-hypertensive, anti-cancer, blood coagulant, anti-coagulant, anti-ulcer, anti-microbial, anti-viral, hypolipidemic and hypocholesterolemic...

Bulk nanocomposites prepared from aqueous albumin dispersion with carbon nanotubes by removing the liquid component from the dispersion have been investigated. The composites were obtained by thermostating and exposure to LED and IR diode laser radiation. The nanocomposites obtained under laser irradiation retain their shape and properties for several years, in contrast to the composites fabricated in different ways (which decompose into small fragments immediately after preparation). The low density of the composites under study (~1200 kg/m3), which is close to the density of water, is due to their high porosity. The hardness of stable nanocomposites (~300 MPa) was found to be at the same level as the hardness of polymethylmethacrylate, aluminium, and iron and close to the hardness of human bone tissue. The cluster quasi ordering of the inner structure of nanocomposites revealed by atomic force microscopy indicates the possibility of forming a bulk nanotube framework in them, which can be caused by the effect of the electric field of laser radiation and ensure their stability and hardness....

Osteoporosis is a debilitating disease that affects many older people. Characterized by low bone mass and microarchitectural deterioration (MAD) of bone tissue, Fragility fractures are the hallmark of osteoporosis. There are potentially numerous nutrients and a dietry component that can influence bone health. Bone mineral consists of calcium phosphate, and phosphorus is as important as calcium in supporting bone augmentation and maintenance. Although typical adult diets contain abundant phosphorus, 10% to 15% of older women have intakes of less than 70% of the recommended daily allowance. Patients at the highest risk for fractures benefit from many approved treatments which can be given orally {alendronic acid, risedronatesodium, zolendronic acid, denosumab, raloxifene, hormone replacement theory (HRT)} which results in increased bone mineral density and reduction of fracture risk. This article initially overviews osteoporosis, including its definition, etiology, and incidence, and then provides some information on possible dietry strategies for optimizing bone health and preventing osteoporosis. The potential benefits of calcium, Vitamin D, Vitamin K, phosphorous and Vitamin C are briefly discussed, along with the different...

Neem has become valuable plant in the world which shows the solutions for hundreds to thousands problems. Neem has become important in the global context today because it offers answers to the major concerns facing mankind. Neem has been extensively used in Ayurveda, Unani and Homoeopathic medicine and has become a centre of attraction of modern medicine. Azadirachta indica (neem) is a rapidly growing evergreen well known tree found generally in various regions of world like America, Africa and India. The aim of this review article provides information mainly on various pharmacological activities like anti-inflammatory, antimalarial, anti-bacterial, anti-allergic, antidermatic, antiulcer, antifungal, insecticidal, larvicidal and other pharmacological activities of neem plant and medicinal...
