The present study was undertaken to evaluate the protective effect of aqueous leaf extract of Aloe vera (ALEAV) in animal model (wistar albino rats) through macroscopic and histopathological study of the colon after inducing ulcerative colitis by usage of acetic acid. 30 healthy albino rats of either sex 150-200g body wt. and 2-4 months age groups were divided into five groups (six in each). Group 1 was normal control group receiving vehicle 1ml of normal saline transrectally (negative control). Group 2 was ulcerative colitis control which was treated with normal saline. Group 3 & 4 were administered aqueous leaf extract of Aloe vera suspension(test drug) 150,300mg/kg bodyweight dose orally for 10 days respectively. Ulcerative colitis was induced on 10 th day. Group 5 was administered prednisolone(1mg/kg) orally for 3 days. On the 3 rd day ulcerative colitis was induced by transrectal administration of 1 ml of 4% acetic acid solution. In all the groups, animals were observed for decrease in bodyweight, stool consistency and rectal bleeding i.e Disease Activity Index for 48 hours after inducing ulcerative colitis. After 48 hours the rats were sacrificed by high dose of ether anaesthesia and a piece of colonic segment(10cm in length) were resected out and subjected to macroscopical study(colon mucosal index) and microscopic evaluation. ALEAV at 150 mg/kg produced significant improvement in macroscopic score in comparison to disease control (group 2) which is comparable to that of normal control (group 1) in ulcerative colitis model. Histopathological studies showed significant dose dependent decrease in lymphoid hyperplasia, neutrophilic infiltration, crypt damage and submucosal inflammation in ALEAV treated group (150 and 300 mg/kg b.w) in comparison to disease control.

Years of research have exposed an understanding of the function and structure of the protective gel lining in your circulatory, or vascular system, called the glycocalyx. A new, proprietary, patent-pending dietary supplement named Endocalyx, is specifically formulated to deliver the building blocks essential to maintain a healthy glycocalyx and microvascular system. The ingredients are sourced from regions around the world where people are known to live longer and live healthy active lives. Endocalyx is made from concentrated extracts of seven natural ingredients. These ingredients contain the same compounds that make up and protect the structure of the glycocalyx. It’s a specific blend, right down to the molecular structure that makes all the difference in the result of taking Endocalyx daily. This patent-pending combination of ingredients, in specific dosage amounts, stimulate three actions that restore, rejuvenate and protect your glycocalyx and microvascular system. The first result of this specific blend comes from polysaccharides that restore the protective structure of the glycocalyx. The second result comes from the amino sugars that rejuvenate your body’s ability to produce more of the glycocalyx protective gel. And the third result comes from antioxidants that work to protect the glycocalyx from breaking down. Scientific research backs up that these synergistic ingredients, when combined together, deliver these vital results in your microvascular system. In fact, several Universities and hospitals around the world are conducting research projects right now. And the list of research papers written by medical professionals continues to grow. And importantly, a growing list of researchers now understand the paradigm-shifting advantages of combining these ingredients. As Endocalyx strengthens the glycocalyx, it helps optimize the structure of the capillaries. From head to toe, optimal capillary function delivers many benefits, including clearer thinking, increased energy, improved performance, more youthful appearance, and greater comfort. The better each brain cell is supplied with oxygen and nutrients, the better your mood, the clearer your mind, the more productive your thinking.* Healthy skin, hair, and eyes depend on a steady supply of oxygen and nutrients in order to renew, grow, and stay healthy.* Skin color and tone are enhanced.* Your hair and nails are stronger and healthier.* And your eyes are clearer and brighter.* As Endocalyx strengthens the glycocalyx, the blood in your entire vascular system is better able to reach and energize each cell of your body.

PURPOSE: To compare the therapeutic effect of sodium hyaluronate (SH)–trehalose (Trehalube, Microlabs, Bangalore, India, SH 0.1% and trehalose 3%) or SH (0.1% Hylotears, Raymed, Chandigarh, India) alone in patients with dry eye disease (DED).MATERIALS AND METHODS: Patients were randomized into two groups: SH-trehalose (SH 0.1% and trehalose 3%) or SH (0.1% Hylotears) alone. The Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI) questionnaire was used to assess patient's symptoms. Patients were followed up at 4 and 8 weeks, and OSDI score, tear film break-up time (TBUT), tear film height (TFH), Schirmer's test, and conjunctival staining were evaluated at each visit.RESULTS: A total of 384 patients were included in the study, 192 patients in each arm. The mean age of participants was 37.62 + 14.4 years and 225 were women (56%). The improvement in Schirmer's test was significantly better in the SH-trehalose group at 8 weeks (5.26 + 4.3 mm, 95% confidence interval = 4.6–5.9 mm) compared to the SH group (3.71 + 3.9, 95% confidence interval = 3.15–4.28 mm). The TBUT and TFH showed slight improvement at 4 weeks in both groups, but not at 8 weeks. There were no group differences at all-time points in terms of conjunctival staining and OSDI-based grades of DED.CONCLUSION: It was found that treating dry eye with SH-trehalose leads to greater improvement in the Schirmer's values and TBUT after 8 weeks of sustained use in patients with DED, and this was more pronounced in those with severe DED.
