Fucoidan from Undaria pinnatifida regulates type II collagen and COX-2 expression via MAPK and PI3K pathways in rabbit articular chondrocytes Biologia
Fucoidan is a sulfated polysaccharide widely distributed in brown seaweed. It exhibits several bioactivities, such as anti-cancer, anti-tumor, anti-microbial, anti-diabetic and anti-oxidant properties. However, the effects of fucoidan in chondrocytes are not well established. Previously, we have reported in vitro and in vivo anti-inflammatory effects of fucoidan. In this study, we evaluated the effects and regulatory mechanism of fucoidan derived from Undaria pinnatifida on the cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and type II collagen in rabbit articular chondrocytes. Using western blotting and alcian blue staining, respectively, fucoidan was shown to induce type II collagen and sulfated proteoglycan in a dose- and time-dependent manner. Moreover, fucoidan inhibited the COX-2 expression in a dose- and time-dependent manner and increased the phosphorylation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK), p38, and AKT kinases in chondrocytes. The inhibition of p38 and AKT using SB203580 and LY294002, respectively, in the presence of fucoidan decreased the expression of type II collagen. However, ERK inhibition using PD98050 stimulated type II collagen expression. Fucoidan increased COX-2 expression in the presence of inhibitors of ERK, p38, and AKT kinases. These results conclusively suggested that fucoidan regulated type II collagen expression via the p38 and AKT pathways, and COX-2 expression via the p38, ERK and AKT pathways in rabbit articular chondrocytes. Moreover, given its ability to mediate cell differentiation and exert anti-inflammatory activity, fucoidan may represent a potential therapeutic substance for use in inflammatory conditions, including arthritis.

Boluoke Lumbrokinase
Boluoke Lumbrokinase
Boluoke® (lumbrokinase) is the only fully researched oral fibrinolytic supplement on the market. Besides having in vitro studies, animal studies, toxicity studies, and pharmacokinetic studies done, Boluoke® has also been put through all phases of clinical trials (including randomized double blind controlled studies) in China. Lumbrokinase has been studied as a treatment for various clinical conditions, including acute, sub-acaute, and chronic conditions that are associated with the presence of hypercoagulation and hypoperfusion. Boluoke® seems to be beneficial for any illness that has an accompanying hypercoagulable blood state, which has been shown to be present in many chronic illnesses. Some practitioners are also recommending Boluoke® for those who choose to be on hormone replacement therapy or birth control pills, and for those who could not tolerate standard preventative pharmaceutical drugs. Recommended Use As a dietary supplement, if Boluoke® is to be

COVID-19 Update 70 with Roger Seheult, MD Our Update 71 is available at https://www.medcram.com/courses/coronavirus-outbreak-symptoms-treatment As many states in the US make arrangements to re-open their economies, Dr. Seheult discusses some recent trends in COVID-19 infections and deaths. Glutathione is a substance produced naturally by the liver- and is also found in vegetables, fruits, and meats. Dr. Seheult discusses some interesting case reports from New York and Russia that suggest glutathione deficiency may be related to COVID-19 severity. More studies are needed to assess if supplementation of NAC and glutathione could aid in the prevention and treatment of COVID-19 (This video was recorded May 14th, 2020) ------------------------------------------- Links referenced in this video: Johns Hopkins Tracker - https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/map.html https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/ HHS - https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2999661/ ABC - https://abcnews.go.com/Business/states-coronavirus-reopening-plan/story?id=70565409 US News - https://www.usnews.com/news/health-news/articles/2020-05-12/covid-19-now-reaching-into-rural-america Reuters - https://graphics.reuters.com/HEALTH-CORONAVIRUS/USA-TRENDS/dgkvlgkrkpb/ ResearchGate (Dr. Polonikov from Russia) - https://www.researchgate.net/publication/340917045_Endogenous_deficiency_of_glutathione_as_the_most_likely_cause_of_serious_manifestations_and_death_in_patients_with_the_novel_coronavirus_infection_COVID-19_a_hypothesis_based_on_literature_data_and_ow ClinicalTrials - https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT04374461 Circulation - https://www.ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/CIRCULATIONAHA.117.027290 Medicine - https://journals.lww.com/md-journal/FullText/2018/11090/N_acetylcysteine_improves_oxidative_stress_and.35.aspx NIH - https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32322478/?from_term=glutathione+coronavirus&from_pos=9 New York Post - https://nypost.com/2020/05/09/new-york-mom-with-coronavirus-saved-by-medical-student-son/ ------------------------------------------- Some previous videos from this series (visit MedCram.com for the full series): - Coronavirus Pandemic Update 71: New Data on Adding Zinc to Hydroxychloroquine + Azithromycin: https://www.medcram.com/courses/coronavirus-outbreak-symptoms-treatment - Coronavirus Pandemic Update 69: "NAC" Supplementation and COVID-19 (N-Acetylcysteine) https://youtu.be/Dr_6w-WPr0w - Coronavirus Pandemic Update 68: Kawasaki Disease; Minority Groups & COVID-19: https://youtu.be/Ja-jhcXMGj0 - Coronavirus Pandemic Update 67: COVID-19 Blood Clots - Race, Blood Types, & Von Willebrand Factor https://youtu.be/JOlVkES_kC8 - Coronavirus Pandemic Update 66: ACE-Inhibitors and ARBs - Hypertension Medications with COVID-19 https://youtu.be/OudhmwulJHY - Coronavirus Pandemic Update 65: COVID-19 and Oxidative Stress (Prevention & Risk Factors) https://youtu.be/gzx8LH4Fjic - Coronavirus Pandemic Update 64: Remdesivir COVID-19 Treatment Update https://youtu.be/Z2hfGcTokiY - Coronavirus Pandemic Update 63: Is COVID-19 a Disease of the Endothelium (Blood Vessels and Clots)? https://youtu.be/Aj2vB_VITXQ - Coronavirus Pandemic Update 62: Treatment with Famotidine (Pepcid)? https://youtu.be/DtPwfihjyrY - Coronavirus Pandemic Update 61: Blood Clots & Strokes in COVID-19; ACE-2 Receptor; Oxidative Stress https://youtu.be/22Bn8jsGI54 - Coronavirus Pandemic Update 60: Hydroxychloroquine Update; NYC Data; How Widespread is COVID-19? https://www.medcram.com/courses/coronavirus-outbreak-symptoms-treatment - Coronavirus Pandemic Update 59: Dr. Seheult's Daily Regimen (Vitamin D, C, Zinc, Quercetin, NAC) https://youtu.be/NM2A2xNLWR4 - Coronavirus Pandemic Update 58: Testing; Causes of Hypoxemia in COVID 19 (V/Q vs Shunt vs Diffusion) https://youtu.be/nO4xgcIaPeA - Coronavirus Pandemic Update 57: Remdesivir Treatment Update and Can Far-UVC Disinfect Public Spaces? https://www.medcram.com/courses/coronavirus-outbreak-symptoms-treatment All coronavirus updates are at MedCram.com (including a discussion of that data for coronavirus UK, coronavirus NYC, and other locations) and we offer many other medical topics (ECG Interpretation, strokes, thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, myocardial infarction, hypercoagulation, hypertension, anticoagulation, DKA, acute kidney injury, influenza, measles, mechanical ventilation, etc.). ------------------------------------------- Speaker: Roger Seheult, MD Board Certified in Internal Medicine, Pulmonary Disease, Critical Care, and Sleep Medicine.

MSG stands for monosodium glutamate. MSG is a common flavor enhancer used in some of your favorite packaged foods and in some Chinese restaurants. Dr. Lynch discusses 3 strategies to rid yourself of MSG-induced headaches: 1) Avoid MSG - hidden sources of MSG on food labels - http://www.truthinlabeling.org/hiddensources.html 2) Find out if you have a GAD (glutamate decarboxylase) gene polymorphism. This gene programs the enzyme that breakds down MSG. You might be susceptible to increase levels of glutamate in your blood. 3) Find other pathways that might effect your ability to breakdown glutamate - including the niacin and homocysteine pathways. 4) Support glutamate breakdown with magnesium, vitamin B6, niacin, eating a healthy balanced diet with healthy oils (fish oil, krill oil, and phosphatidylcholine) Note: There are many different causes of headaches. Please work with your doctor to see if any of these strategies might be right for you.

Solid supported membranes (SSMs) are usually formed by an hybrid octadecanethiol/phosphatidylcholine (PC) bilayer supported by a gold electrode. Recently, it was shown that phosphatidylserine (PS) in place of PC can promote a more effective accumulation of lipid vesicles on the SSM surface when Ca …
