InflammationBrain1 moreMajor Depression Disorder is one of the most common psychiatric disease and has affecting approximately 350 million people in the world. According to World Health Organization's report, it may be the first burden of disease in 2030. Due to the high morbidity and low acceptance in the treatment, it is necessary to find some nature compounds to prevent the disease. Cordyceps militaris, one of the most treasure Chinese herbs in Asia, contains many kinds of component such as cordycepin, polysaccharide, mannitol. In winter, it appears as an worm in the soil, afterwards, it grows out of the soil and convert into grass in summer. A previous study has demonstrated that Cordyceps militaris has anti-depressive effect in mouse tail suspension test, and in this study we will explore its effect in human subjects.

Comparison of High-dose Rosuvastatin Versus Low-dose Rosuvastatin Plus Ezetimibe on Carotid Plaque...
Acute Coronary SyndromeCarotid Atherosclerotic Plaque With InflammationCombination therapy of ezetimibe with a low-dose statin is occasionally used to avoid statin-related side effects in clinical practice among patients with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. This approach is equivalent to high-dose statin therapy to decrease LDL cholesterol level by >50%, allowing such patients to achieve LDL cholesterol target. However, it remains uncertain whether combination therapy with ezetimibe and low-dose statin verse high-dose statin monotherapy similarily suppress atherosclerotic plaque inflammation. This study is to compare high-dose rosuvastatin versus low-dose rosuvastatin plus ezetimibe on carotid plaque inflammation in patients with acute coronary syndrome using 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (18FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) imaging.

Effects of Post-exercise Protein Supplementation in Young Athletes
FatigueInflammation1 moreThis randomised double blind, placebo-controlled study examined the effects of post-exercise consumption of whey protein (PRO) or carbohydrate (CHO) on performance recovery, muscle damage and inflammatory cytokine responses following a high intensity interval swim (HIIS) in 10-17-year old male and female swimmers.

A Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability and Preliminary Efficacy of APP13007 to Treat Inflammation...
Ocular Inflammation and Pain After Cataract SurgeryThis is a Phase 2a, 2-part study (designated Parts A and B) that will evaluate APP13007 dose strength and dosing frequency in a randomized double-masked fashion for comparison to the respective matching vehicle placebo. Part A will be conducted first to evaluate 0.05% APP13007 and matching vehicle placebo in an approximate 1:1 ratio in approximately 42 subjects who experience postoperative inflammation on the first day following routine, uncomplicated, cataract surgery and who meet all eligibility criteria. Based on the results of Part A, Part B of the study may be open for enrollment to evaluate 0.05% and/or 0.1% APP13007 at various dosing frequency in approximately 84 subjects, also in an approximate 1:1 ratio, active vs. placebo. In each Part, subjects will return periodically for study assessments during the treatment period and then for a follow-up visit approximately 1 week after stopping the study drug.

OCS-01 in Treating Inflammation and Pain in Post-cataract Patients
Inflammation CornealPain1 moreThe DX-216 trial is a randomized, double-masked, placebo (vehicle)-controlled study evaluating the efficacy and safety of two doses of OCS-01 compared to vehicle in the treatment of inflammation and pain following cataract surgery. The primary objective is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of OCS-01 compared to placebo and the secondary objective is to evaluate the optimal dosing frequency (once a day [QD] or twice a day [BID]).

Measures are on outcomes of depression, biological markers of inflammation and oxidative stress, and microbial populations in the intestines.

The Effect of Vitamin C on Wound Healing In Mandibular Fracture Patients
Vitamin C DeficiencySmoking14 moreThe goal of this study is to perform a randomized clinical trial to assess the effects of vitamin C versus placebo on wound healing in mandibular fracture patients.

PGE2 Levels in Patient Treated With NSAIDs
Ocular InflammationThe aim of this study is to determine vitreous levels of nonsteroidal antinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and prostaglandinE2 (PGE2) in eyes scheduled for vitrectomy. All patients received the study drugs for 3 days before surgery. 0.5 to 1.0 mL of undiluted vitreous was removed using the vitreous cutter positioned in the midvitreous cavity. Samples were immediately frozen and stored at -80°C until analysis. Sample analyses were performed using an high-performance liquid chromatography system. The lower limit of quantitation was 0.8 ng/mL. PGE2 levels were analyzed using the Prostaglandin E2 Monoclonal EIA Kit (Cayman Chemical Company) according to the manufacturer's instructions.
