تحت رعاية

الاستاذ الدكتور علاء عطية عميد كلية ورئيس مجلس إدارة المستشفيات الجامعية

وبحضور الأستاذ الدكتور محمد عبد الرحمن،  وكيل الكلية لشئون التعليم والطلاب

الأستاذ الدكتور/ هدى مخلوف، وكيل الكلية لشئون خدمة المجتمع وتنمية البيئة.

الأستاذ الدكتور/ فرج محمد مفتاح المشرف على الحاسب الآلي.

عقد يوم الأربعاء ٢٥ سبتمبر اجتماع بمركز الحاسب الآلى لفريق البحث العلمى لطلاب طب أسيوط (١٣ طالب)،، لمتابعة نتائج تدريب الطلاب علي البحث العلمى والاحصاء الطبى، وذلك من خلال دورتين  سبق تنظيمها من خلال وحدة الحاسب الآلى بكلية الطب فى حوالى (٢٢ ساعة) تدريب .

وقد قام الطلاب بتقسيم أنفسهم إلى خمسة مجموعات بحثية لكل منهم بروتوكول بحثى.

وبعد اطلاع السادة الوكلاء علي الأبحاث المطروحة، قاموا بالنقاش مع الطلاب لتحديد التخصص المناسب لكل بحث ، وتحديد عدد من المشرفين لمتابعة البرتوكول مع الطلاب.

Protective effects of curcumin and Ginkgo biloba extract combination on a new model of Alzheimer’s disease

Research Abstract

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is one of the most prevalent neurodegenerative illnesses, and yet, no workable treatments have been discovered to prevent or reverse AD. Curcumin (CUR), the major polyphenolic compound of turmeric (Curcuma longa) rhizomes, and Ginkgo biloba extract (GBE) are natural substances derived from conventional Chinese herbs that have long been shown to provide therapeutic advantages for AD. The uptake of curcumin into the brain is severely restricted by its low ability to cross the blood–brain barrier (BBB). Meanwhile, GBE has been shown to improve BBB permeability. The present study evaluated the neuroprotective effects and pharmacokinetic profile of curcumin and GBE combination to find out whether GBE can enhance curcumin’s beneficial effects in AD by raising its brain concentration. Results revealed that CUR + GBE achieved significantly higher levels of curcumin in the brain and plasma after 30 min and 1 h of oral administration, compared to curcumin alone, and this was confirmed by reversed phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC). The effect of combined oral treatment, for 28 successive days, on cognitive function and other AD-like alterations was studied in scopolamine-heavy metal mixtures (SCO + HMM) AD model in rats. The combination reversed at least, partially on the learning and memory impairment induced by SCO + HMM. This was associated with a more pronounced inhibitory effect on acetylcholinesterase (AChE), caspase-3, hippocampal amyloid beta (Aβ1-42), and phosphorylated tau protein (p-tau) count, and pro-inflammatory cytokines tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) and interleukine-1beta (IL-1β), as compared to the curcumin alone-treated group. Additionally, the combined treatment significantly decreased lipid peroxidation (MDA) and increased levels of reduced glutathione (GSH), when compared with the curcumin alone. These findings support the concept that the combination strategy might be an alternative therapy in the management/prevention of neurological disorders. This study sheds light on a new approach for exploring new phyto-therapies for AD and emphasizes that more research should focus on the synergic effects of herbal drugs in future.
