1. InvestigaÃÃo da aÃÃo expectorante do extrato acetÃnico e do Ãcido fumarprotocetrÃrico de Cladonia Verticillaris (LÃquen) em camundongos
Os lÃquens tem sido utilizados na medicina popular desde a antiguidade para tratar vÃrios tipos de doenÃas do trato respiratÃrio como irritaÃÃo da garganta, tosse, tuberculose, e asma. Este estudo tem como objetivo avaliar a atividade expectorante do extrato acetÃnico e do Ãcido fumarprotocetrÃrico (FUM) de Cladonia verticillaris em camundongos. Par

2. Estudo quÃmico, fÃsico-quÃmico e farmacolÃgico dos carboidratos presentes no fitoterÃpico ( Xarope MelxiÂ)
Melxi syrup is a phytotherapic produced and commercialized by Hebron Laboratory. It is basically composed by honey and pineapple pulp (Ananas comosus) which is used as expectorant and mucolytic agent. The honey possesses an excellent nutritional quality (vitamins, minerals, high energetic value) and medical properties (antioxidant and antiseptic activities

3. Effects of Tylosin on Bacterial Mucolysis, Clostridium perfringens Colonization, and Intestinal Barrier Function in a Chick Model of Necrotic Enteritis
Necrotic enteritis (NE) is a worldwide poultry disease caused by the alpha toxin-producing bacterium Clostridium perfringens. Disease risk factors include concurrent coccidial infection and the dietary use of cereal grains high in nonstarch polysaccharides (NSP), such as wheat, barley, rye, and oats. Outbreaks of NE can be prevented or treated by the use of

4. Rheological assessment of mucolytic agents on sputum of chronic bronchitics
In vitro and in vivo studies were made on the sputum of chronic bronchitics using a Ferranti-Shirley cone and plate viscometer and a new stress relaxation method. The latter utilized a modified chemical balance and permitted study at very low shear rates. The results from simpler apparatus correlated well with the data obtained with the cone and plate viscom

5. In vitro effect of a mucolytic thiol agent on the activity of polymorphonuclear leucocyte elastase and antileucoprotease.
We have studied the effects of the mucolytic thiol agent mercapto-ethanesulphonate (mesna) on the activity of both polymorphonuclear leucocyte (PMN) elastase and antileucoprotease in vitro. In all tests a specific synthetic substrate was used to measure elastase activity, which was then related to enzyme activity in the absence of mesna. The relative elastas

6. Breakdown of gastric mucus in presence of Helicobacter pylori.
The potential of Helicobacter pylori to degrade gastric mucus was examined. Colonies of H pylori cultured from antral mucosal biopsy specimens of patients with non-autoimmune gastritis were washed with sterile saline, passed through a sterilisation filter, and the filtrate examined for urease, protease, and mucolytic activity. The filtrate failed to hydrolys
