    Abstract Karempudi Venkatakrishna, Kuppam Sundeep, Heggar Venkataramana Sudeep, Kuluvar Gouthamchandra, Kodimule Shyamprasad R&D Center for Excellence, Vidya Herbs Pvt Ltd, Bangalore, 560 105, Karnataka, IndiaCorrespondence: Heggar Venkataramana Sudeep, Tel +91 80-42094158, Email research@vidyaherbs.comPurpose: Plant-based natural products as anti-nociceptors have enormous potential as safer alternatives to conventional opiates and NSAIDS. Piper nigrum (black pepper) is one of the major culinary spices with medicinal attributes.Methods: In the present study, the antinociceptive activity of a standardized black pepper seed extract (Viphyllin) containing not less than 30% β-caryophyllene (BCP) was evaluated using pain models in mice, namely acetic acid-induced writhing test, formalin-induced paw licking test, hot plate test and tail flick test. Further, the antagonists SR141716A (0.1 mg/kg i.p.), AM630 (5 mg/kg i.p.), capsazepine (0.1 mg/kg body weight i.p.), and GW6471 (1 mg/kg i.p.) were used to evaluate the involvement of cannabinoid receptors CB1 and CB2, TRPV1 ion channel and PPARα receptor, respectively. Molecular docking (AutoDock 4.2) was used to study the interaction of BCP with the agonist-binding sites of the selected pain receptors.Results: Viphyllin at 10 mg, 25 mg and 50 mg/kg (i.p.) significantly inhibited the writhings in mice as compared to untreated control group (p < 0.001). Further, Viphyllin at 50 mg/kg showed strong antinociceptive effect in formalin-induced paw licking test (p < 0.05). Pretreatment of mice with AM630 significantly reversed the antinociceptive activity of Viphyllin in both early and late phases of formalin test (p < 0.05). Administration of Viphyllin markedly increased the latency time of mice in hot plate test (p < 0.001). Further, Viphyllin markedly increased the latency time of tail flick compared to control group from 30 min to 90 min after treatment. AM630, Capsazepine, and GW6471 abolished the analgesic effect of Viphyllin. These findings clearly suggest the ...

    Abstract Introduction: Elbow dislocations are commonly encountered by orthopedic surgeons all over. Management is straightforward and the result is generally satisfactory. However, in a small subset, associated injuries like convergent or divergent dislocations at superior radioulnar joints are present. These associated injuries are often missed initially leading to their delayed treatment and suboptimal elbow function. We report one such rare case of Convergent dislocation at the elbow. Although reported from other parts of the world till date, there has been none reported from India. It is extremely rare in adults. Twenty-three cases in children and only two in adults stand reported so far in world literature. Thus, our reporting it could be the first report of convergent dislocation at the elbow from India. To the best of our knowledge, it is only the third reported adult case in world literature.
    Case report: We describe a 68-year-old male visiting a local hospital with a history of fall from a two-wheeler. An initial radiograph revealed an obvious posterior dislocation of the elbow. Closed reduction was performed, and posterior above elbow slab was given. Patient presented to us 10 days later with persistent pain. Evaluation with radiographs confirmed reduction of ulno-humeral joint but translocation of the radius and ulna which is combined posterior and convergent elbow dislocation.
    Conclusion: Combined posterior and convergent elbow dislocation is a rare scenario. The rarity of these associated injuries is the reason for lack of awareness. We suggest careful scrutiny of pre-reduction anteroposterior radiographic view or 3D CT in suspected cases as well as X-ray/Carm anteroposterior view in extended position of elbow on the operation table immediately after reduction before slab application in every case of elbow dislocation. Significant difficulty was encountered in open reduction in our case. This could be attributed to buttonholing of the radial head through insertion of brachialis fibers. The reporting of this surgical difficulty is important because it will help the surgeon know it beforehand and the awareness would make the surgeon take appropriate measures well in time.

    Abstract Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) are the common health concern in populations across the world. Clinical evidence suggests that IBD, characterized by intestinal inflammation, is associated with neuronal manifestations to a greater extent. In this study, we have investigated the protective effects of Viphyllin™, a standardized black pepper (Piper nigrum) seed extract containing 30% β-caryophyllene against dextran sodium sulfate (DSS)-induced colitis in mice. Oral pretreatment of Viphyllin at the 50 mg and 100 mg/kg doses significantly reversed the clinical symptoms of colitis in mice. Viphyllin markedly inhibited NLRP3 inflammasome activation and improved barrier function in colon tissue. Viphyllin further mitigated the DSS-induced anxiety-like behavior in mice. Interestingly, Viphyllin improved brain antioxidant status and promoted neuronal cell survival in colitis model mice. In conclusion, our findings strongly support the health claims of Viphyllin as a functional ingredient to deal with IBD and related neuronal symptoms. PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS: Prevalence of inflammatory bowel diseases is not uncommon in the modern lifestyle. Gut health is associated with neurological disorders that contribute substantially to the deterioration of quality of life and socioeconomic development. In this research work, the protective action of a black pepper seed extract standardized to 30% β-caryophyllene (Viphyllin) is evaluated against Dextran sodium sulfate-induced experimental colitis model. Here we have demonstrated the beneficial role of Viphyllin in mitigating intestinal inflammation as a function of NLRP3 inflammasome inhibition. Further, the extract improves intestinal barrier function. In an important aspect of the study, we have provided the data on the effect of Viphyllin on neurological symptoms and brain health in colitis model mice.

    Abstract Background: Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a pathological condition affecting older men. BPH complications often lead to deterioration in the quality of life. Serenoa repens (Saw Palmetto) is used for treating lower urinary tract infections in traditional medicine.
    Methods: This study was performed to compare the efficacy of β-sitosterol enriched saw palmetto oil (VISPO) and conventional saw palmetto oil (SPO) extracted using supercritical fluid extraction, in alleviating the BPH complications using testosterone-induced BPH model rats. The animals received testosterone (5 mg/kg s.c.) with or without SPO and VISPO (200 and 400 mg/kg b.w.) or Finasteride (1 mg/kg b.w.) p.o. for 28 days. At the end of the experiment, overnight fasted animals were euthanized, blood samples collected for serum analysis of testosterone. Prostate tissue histomorphology was examined by hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining. Western blot analysis was performed using prostate tissue homogenates.
    Results: VISPO exhibited superior efficacy compared to SPO as evident from the significant decrease in prostate weight to body weight ratio, serum testosterone level and increase in growth inhibition of prostate tissue compared to BPH group (p < 0.001). Histological examination of prostate tissue samples showed that VISPO treatment was comparatively better than SPO in improving the hyperplastic patterns. Further, VISPO significantly regulated the expression of inflammatory and apoptotic marker proteins in BPH rats.
    Conclusion: Our data provide experimental evidence that β-sitosterol enriched saw palmetto oil could be higher efficacious in treating the BPH complications compared to the conventional saw palmetto oil preparations.

    Abstract β‐caryophyllene (BCP), a natural sesquiterpene present in plants, is a selective agonist of cannabinoid receptor type‐2 (CB2) of the endocannabinoid system. In this study, we have prepared an extract from Piper nigrum (black pepper) seeds using supercritical fluid extraction, standardized to contain 30% BCP (Viphyllinᵀᴹ). The beneficial effects of prophylactic treatment with Viphyllin on cognitive functions were demonstrated in Scopolamine‐induced dementia model mice. Male Swiss albino mice (25–30 g) were administered with Viphyllin (50 mg and 100 mg/kg body weight p.o.) or donepezil (1.60 mg/kg) for 14 days. Subsequently, cognitive deficits were induced by treating the animals intraperitoneally with Scopolamine (0.75 mg/kg). The cognitive behavior of mice was evaluated using a novel object recognition test (NORT) and Morris water maze (MWM) test. The brain homogenates were studied for biochemical parameters including cholinesterase activities and antioxidant status. Western blot analysis was performed to investigate the mechanism of action. Viphyllin dose dependently improved the recognition and spatial memory and cholinergic functions in Scop‐treated mice. The extract was found protective against Scop‐induced oxidative damage and histopathologic changes in the brain. At 100 mg/kg Viphyllin markedly reduced the proBDNF/mBDNF ratio (p < .05) and augmented the TrkB expression (p < .01). Viphyllin (100 mg/kg) was found to be neuroprotective by reducing the Scop‐induced upregulation of p‐JNK and p‐p38 MAPK proteins, Bax/Bcl‐2 ratio, and caspase activation in the brain. Viphyllin also exerted anti‐inflammatory effects by downregulating Cox‐2, TNF‐α, and NOS‐2 in Scop‐induced mice (p < .05). To summarize, our data encourage Viphyllin as a functional ingredient/dietary supplement for brain health and cognition. PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS: Black pepper is a culinary spice having several medicinal attributes. Essential oils in the seeds of the plant give aroma and flavor to it. Here we have prepared an extract from the seeds of black pepper using supercritical fluid extraction, characterized for the presence of β‐caryophyllene (not <30%). This research work further validates the neuroprotective mechanism of the extract in Scopolamine‐induced cognitive impairment model mice. The findings from this study strongly suggest the beneficial neuroactive properties of black pepper seed extract having the presence of BCP, a CB2 receptor agonist. It can thus be used potentially as a functional food ingredient for cognition and brain function.

    Abstract BACKGROUND: Plasma free fatty acids (FFA) are involved in blood lipid metabolism as well as many health complications. The present study was conducted to evaluate the potential role of chlorogenic acid complex from green coffee bean (CGA7) on FFA metabolism in high fat diet fed rats. METHODS: Hyperlipidemia was induced in Wistar rats using high-fat diet. The animals were given CGA7/orlistat concurrently for 42 days. The parameters analysed during the study include plasma and liver total cholesterol (TC), Triglycerides (TG) and FFA. AMPK activation in the liver was analysed through ELISA. The multiple factors involved in AMPK mediated FFA metabolism were analysed using western blotting. RESULTS: CGA7 (50, 100, 150 mg/kg BW) decreased triglycerides (TG) and FFA levels in plasma and liver. CGA7 administration led to the activation of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) and a subsequent increase in the levels of carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1 (CPT-1). There was a decrease in acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC) activity as evident by the increase in its phosphorylation level. CONCLUSION: Chlorogenic acids improved the blood lipid metabolism in rats by alleviating the levels of FFA and TG, modulating the multiple factors in liver through AMPK pathway. The study concludes that CGA7 complex can be promoted as an active ingredient in nutrition for obesity management.

    Abstract Optical spectroscopy methods are fast emerging as potential alternatives for early diagnosis of cancer. A Raman spectroscopy method for discrimination of normal and malignant oral tissues has been developed by us earlier. It is necessary to evaluate and establish the validity of the approach before it can be routinely used. In the present study, our Raman spectroscopy investigations are extended further to evaluate the efficacy of the technique to discriminate between normal, inflammatory, premalignant, and malignant conditions in oral tissue. Spectral profiles of normal, malignant, premalignant, and inflammatory conditions show pronounced differences between one another. Spectra of normal tissues can be attributed mainly to lipids whereas pathological tissue spectra are dominated by proteins. Principal components analysis (PCA) of the spectral data sets belonging to the four different categories showed that scores of factors differentiated between normal and all pathological conditions but gave only poor discrimination among the three pathological states. PCA combined with multiparameter limit tests allow match/mismatch criteria to be applied to test samples when pathologically certified calibration sets are available in each class. It is shown that by this method all the four tissue types could be discriminated and diagnosed correctly. The biochemical differences between normal and pathological conditions of oral tissue are also discussed from spectral differences of the different classes of spectra.

    Abstract Pulsed laser-induced-fluorescence studies of pathologically certified oral tissues are carried out at different excitations and time delays. Among the several excitations used, 325 nm produced noticeably different spectral profile for normal and malignant tissues. Extensive curve analysis was carried out in order to understand changes in biochemical composition of tissue based on spectral profiles. Curve resolution and principal component analysis (PCA) show that the fluorescence intensity changes from normal to malignant tissue samples are not completely explained in terms of simple collagen and NAD(P)H intensity changes. The spectra require at least five components to be fully accounted for. Several discrimination methodologies based on PCA and intensity differences between different emission peaks (resultant peaks of curve analysis) were also evaluated. The results obtained indicate PCA using Mahalanobis distance and spectral residual as discrimination parameters provides best discrimination and can be used for matching unknown samples to standard calibration sets. Intensity ratio of bound NAD(P)H to collagen seems to be more suitable for discrimination between normal and malignant oral tissue, compared to ratio of collagen to total intensity of all the other components together.
