androgenic alopecia
hirsutism, and acne.Sawaya ME, Shalita AR.
ARATEC: Alopecia Research and Associated Technologies, and University of Florida, Departments of Medicine and Dermatology, Gainesville, Florida, USA.
BACKGROUND: The androgen receptor (AR) is a structurally conserved member of the nuclear receptor superfamily. The amino-terminal domain is required for transcriptional activation and contains a region of polyglutamine encoded by CAG trinucleotide repeats. In humans, the number of CAG repeats is polymorphic. Expansion of CAG repeats in the AR has clinical implications for human disease. OBJECTIVE: Androgens influence androgenetic alopecia (AGA), hirsutism, and acne; the polymorphisms in CAG repeat length may affect the clinical course of patients with these cutaneous disorders. The purpose of this study is to test for an association between these disorders and CAG repeat length. METHODS: We analyzed normal lymphocyte genomic DNA from a total of 48 men and 60 women. The CAG repeat region of the AR was amplified by polymerase drain reaction (PCR) and the products were sized on polyacrylamide gels. RESULTS: In normal men and women controls, a range of 12 to 29 trinucleotide repeats was found, with men having 22 +/- 4 (M 6 SD), women 21 +/- 3. Men with AGA had 19 +/- 3, whereas women with AGA had 17 +/- 3. Men with acne had 21 +/- 3, whereas women had 20+/- 3; men with AGA and acne had 18 +/- 4; and women with hirsutism had 16 +/- 3. Women with a combination of at least two disorders also had 16 +/- 3 trinucleotide repeats. CONCLUSION: associated with the development of androgen-mediated skin disorders in men and women. These data suggest that CAG-repeat length in AR may affect androgen mediated gene expression in hair follicles and sebaceous glands in men and women with these androgenic skin disorders.

Genuphil cotain glucoseamine and chondroitin ,the two well known ingredients for their syngerstic effect in restoring the normal balance of cartilage metabolism where they stimulate the cartilage anabolic process and in hibit the degradative enzymes thus decreasing the rate of cartilage catabolism
Genuphil contain also methyl sulfonyl methane (MSM) the natural source of organic sulfur that is essential for proteoglyans synthesis;aprocess that is mandatory for final assembly of cartilage. Sulfur also ;through forming the disulfide bonds is needed for the collagen synthesis where collagen is the main structural protein of the soft tissue such as cartilage,tendon,ligament and muscles

Elugel
Elugel
Antiseptic gel containing 0.2% chlorhexidin
Properties:
ELUGEL,a local antiseptic gel containing 0.2% of chlorhexidine which is an antibacterial and
remanet
Facilitates prevention and treatment of gingivitis
Facilitates the reduction of gingival inflammation ,as proven by a double blind clinical
experimentation against placebo
Reduces the accumulation of dental plaque.and is therefore a complement to the mechanical
suppression of dental plaque ,namely in areas difficult to reach with a toothbrush
Can be used when the local conditions do not allow rigorous oral hygiene (after dental extraction
or periodontal surgery )

Brush the gums with a very soft brush for 3 minutes
The gel form is particularly adapted to the mucous
Remarks:
The application of ELUGEL is not a substitute for a regular brushing of the teeth when possible
Asuperficial brownish staining can appear after prolonged treatment with ELUGEL,this can easily
be avoided by the daily use of toothpaste

chinases products named D.D.B able to decrease the level of liver enzymes
Sunday, January 20, 2008lets talk about it
It is a synthetic analogue of schisandrin C

Intestinal absorption a bout 70 % of
swallowed dose
Mainaly distributed in hepatic tissue
78% of DDB absorbed & bind to the blood protein
about 80% of the absorbed metabolized in healthy adult through first pass effect in liver
80% excreted via kidney un changed as glucouronic acid conjugate
half life 5-6 hours
D.D.B ameliorate HCV clinical symptoms
D.D.B improve hepatocyte inflammatory lesion such as mitochondrial swelling endoplasmic reticular sac dilation, polysomal dislocation& breakdown of endoplasmic reticulum membrane
D.D.B exerts its effect against liver damage as it improve the synthesis of intrinsic strustual proteins (free&bound ribosomes memebrane)of hepatocyte which closely related to structural &fuctional repair of damaged cells
D.D.B reduce the unscheduled DNA syunthesis(which induced by carcinogens)through increasing hepatic cytosol glutathione-5-transferaseµsomal UDPG-transferase activity ability to antagonize certain carcinogen induced DNA damage(as many carincogens should transformed into electrophile ultimate molecules through metabolic activation in liver microsomes before being covalently bouned to nucleophilic center of DNA(cause cell damage or gene mutation)
That is through several unpaired electrons of D.D.B molecules serve as nucleophilic centers competing with DNA for binding to these receptors

D.D.B inhibit carcinogens –induced UDS(excision repair) which is the most important repair mechanism of DNA damage by inhibition of carcinogen binding to DNA and modification of carcinogens metabolism (GST.UDPG-T&CYTO OXIDASE P-450)
D.D.B combined therapy for HCV INF (D.D.B +Amantadine)
D.D.B the ideal solution for steatoheapatis whatever the cause
D.D.B in combination with drugs inducing hepatitis for high risk patients intended for these drugs courses to overcome its hepatic overload .protection of heaptocyte &improving of detoxification capacity of heapto cyte
D.D.B IN combination with anti viral drugs (Amantadine HCL&rebavirin)
In viral hepatitis significantly improve patients cure rate &even seroconversion records
D.D.B is a timed-tested drug,high tolerable ,proven effective in Ameliorating clinical ,biochemical &histopathological manifestation for acute &chronic viral &non-viral hepatitis
DOSE &ADMINISTRATION
To achieve the max .results for elevated liver enzymes
Adminstraton &dosage(500 pilules\box 1.5 mg each)
Adult (over 12 years )0.75 mg/kg/day
Children (under 12 years ) 0.5 mg/kg/day
Divied into 3 equal doses (before meal)
Course of treatment
In acute heapatis 6- 12 months
In chronic hepatitis as long as the chronicity stands
There is no drug resistance have been reported
No side effects
Has no tetrogenic effects on pregnant rates & no paper reported that D.D.B has bad effects on pregnancy also D.D.B used in pregnant women in china
(N.B: Drug should be avoid in the st.trimenstrum)
