What is snake venom and how its use as medicine

SNAKE VENOM USE AS A MEDICINE ,
Snake venom is highly  modified  parotid salivary gland secretion that secrets zootoxines.
Venoms contain more than 20 different  compounds, mostly proteins, polypeptide, enzymes, and various other substances with toxins and other lethal  proterties serve  to immobilize and digestion of prey animal and defence against threats.

SIX  MAZER MEDICAL  USES  FOR THE SNAKE  VENOM:

1) TREATING CANCER -  
venom  from  rattlesnake contain a chemical  called crotoxin, it only work on particular kinds of cell (blood and muscles). Research Harnessed  the unique  combination  of targeting  and toxicity  in crotoxin to creat  a cancer treatment, called CB24.


2) REDUCE  BLOOD PRESSURE- 
The venom  of the Brazilian  pitviper contain a protein that disrupt  the angiotensin - converting  enzyme (ACE), which rises blood pressure in humans and mammals. Researches  converted venom  into non- toxin ACE blocker, used to treat high blood pressure.


3) KILL PARASITES - 
The venom  of  the prairie rattlesnake contain  a chemical called crovirin, which is use to kill leismania protozoas as well as others in its family  that causes other infections such as chagas diseases and sleeping  sicknesse.


4) CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM DISORDERS-
The venom of the black mamba snake are highly  neurotoxins, these chemicals bind so tightly to nerve cells, researcher at Puerto Rico's universida are investigating  how these chemicals work in order to use them in future, treatment for diseases  that breakdown  the brain & nervous system, such as Alzhimer's and Parkinson's.


5) TREAT MUSCLE  DISEASE - 
The venom from the Taiwan banded krait 
Using to treat muscular disease, such as myasthenia By changing  the electrtcal charges in the cells.


6)MAKE ANTIVENOM - 
Specialists ,, milk'' a snake by extracting  its venom and collecting  in it a bowl then freeze dry it. Then an animal of choice is injected a small amount  of venom; afer a few weeks, researchers  draw its blood and extract  the antibodies it developed to fight the poison.

Modern medical therapy over mesenchymal stem cells in 2018

why modern medical therapy  work on mesenchymal  stem cells (MSCs) Mesenchymal  stem cell are self- renewing, multipotent, progenitor  cell with multilineage potential to differentiate into cell type of mesodermal  origin. SUCH AS - adipocytes, osteocytes and condrocytes,  while MSCs  are most commonly  isolated from bone marrow  by aspiration process, they are also from other tissue including adipose tissue, placenta, amniotic fluid & umbilical card blood. Main resion - due to their accessibility & convenient  protocols, MSCs have been recognised  as promising  for  cellular therapy, regenerative medicines, and tissue  engineering . IN CELLULAR  THERAPY- This processes take 2-3 weeks. This kind of mature  , fully differentiate  cell  phenotype and the noumber  of the cells though this can be influenced in 3 ways. Firstly by varying in initial seed density  in the cu...

What is hunta virus and it's consequences

HOW IT INFECT THE HUMAN                  Single standed ,enveloped, negative sense, RNA virus which normally  infect rodents where they don't cause disease (work as reserviour) SPREAD -   Hunta virus present in the urin and feaces  of rodents , spread of infection when the people are contact with rodents or their dropping or urins or possibly  to inhale virus from droppings. Very rear possibilities to person to person infection. ON THE BASIS OF DIFFERENT  TYPES OF STRAINS, VIRUS  AFFECTS  DIFFERENT  ORGANS; In lunga, causing hunta virus pulmonary  syndrome (HPS) In kidney, causing  hemorrahagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) However many symptoms of two infection are overlaps  in initial.  HUNTA VIRUS PULMONARY  SYNDROME People with HPS then develope  a cough and shortness of breath, which may become serious , fluid  collects around  t...
