Han D, Long A, Wang J, Wang X, Zhang Y. Effect of cervus and cucumis polypeptide combined with zoledronic acid on bone metabolic biochemical markers in glucocorticoids - Induced osteoporosis patients. Saudi J Biol Sci. 2019 Jul;26(5):1027-1031. doi: 10.1016/j.sjbs.2019.04.010.
Abstract. Objective: To investigate the effect of cervus and cucumis polypeptide combined with zoledronic acid on bone metabolic biochemical markers in glucocorticoids - induced osteoporosis patients. Methods: A total of 100 patients with glucocorticoids - induced osteoporosis admitted to our hospital from January 2015 to June 2017 were enrolled in this study. Patients were divided into observation group and control group by random number table method, 50 cases in each group. Patients in the observation group were treated with deer melon polypeptide in combination with zoledronic acid, and patients in the control group were treated with zoledronic acid alone. The patients in both groups were treated for 2 months. The changes of bone mineral density (BMD) and biochemical markers of bone metabolism in lumbar vertebrae L1-4, left femoral neck and large trochanter were analyzed before and after treatment.....Conclusion: The cervus and cucumis polypeptide combined with zoledronic acid can improve the BMD at lumbar spine L1-4, left femoral neck and great trochanter, and ameliorate the bone metabolic biochemical markers for patients with glucocorticoids - induced osteoporosis.

Abstract. Tumor is a multifactorial sickness and consequently can be viably overwhelmed by a multi-constituently remedial strategy. Herbal extracts shows the example of such stratagem. However, less research have been carried out till date that portray the effect of different extraction techniques on the phyto compounds profile of plant extracts and its effect on anticancer activity. Cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) is a member of the Cucurbitaceae family like melon, squash and pumpkins. It is a popular vegetable harvest in Indian customary medicine since olden times. It has potential lipid lowering and antioxidant activity and antidiabetic. In the present study, we have evaluated the anticancer prospective of methanolic and acetone extracts of Cucumis sativus (CSME) and (CSAE). Reported results show that (CSME) is rich in bioactive compounds shown anticancer activity with Cell lines of (IC50) with MCF 715.6 ± 1.3 and HeLa 28.2 ± 1. This study on the presence of cytotoxic from the Cucumis sativus L.), which have been further used in herbal formulations study as an anticancer activity. Our conclusion support additional in-depth study of this pharmacologic activity as an malignant tumor agent.

Abstract. Targeted metabolomics aims to provide a new approach to investigate metabolites and gather both qualitative and quantitative information. We describe a protocol for extraction and analysis of plant metabolites, specifically 13 secondary metabolites (antioxidants) using liquid chromatography coupled to triple quadrupole mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS), with high linearity (R2 > 0.99) and reproducibility (0.23-6.23 R%) with low limits of detection (>0.001 ng/mL) and quantification (>0.2 ng/mL). ...Copyright © 2018 Elsevier Ltd.
Bernardini C, Zannoni A, Bertocchi M, Tubon I, Fernandez M, Forni M. Water/ethanol extract of Cucumis sativus L. fruit attenuates lipopolysaccharide-induced inflammatory response in endothelial cells. BMC Complement Altern Med. 2018 Jun 25;18(1):194. doi: 10.1186/s12906-018-2254-1.
Abstract. Background: It is widely accepted the key role of endothelium in the onset of many chronic and acute vascular and cardiovascular diseases. In the last decade, traditional compounds utilized in "folk medicine" were considered with increasing interest to discover new bioactive molecules potentially effective in a wide range of diseases including cardiovascular ones. Since ancient times different parts of the Cucumis sativus L. plant were utilized in Ayurvedic medicine, among these, fruits were traditionally used to alleviate skin problem such as sunburn irritation and inflammation. The main purpose of the present research was, in a well-defined in vitro model of endothelial cells, to investigate whether a water/ethanol extract of Cucumis sativus L. (CSE) fruit can attenuate the damaging effect of pro-inflammatory lipopolysaccharide (LPS).....Conclusions: Our results have clearly demonstrated that Cucumis sativus L. extract has attenuated lipopolysaccharide-induced inflammatory response in endothelial cells.

Cucumis sativus Aqueous Fraction Inhibits Angiotensin II-Induced Inflammation and Oxidative Stress In Vitro. Nutrients. 2018 Feb 28;10(3):276. doi: 10.3390/nu10030276.
Abstract. Inflammation and oxidative stress play major roles in endothelial dysfunction, and are key factors in the progression of cardiovascular diseases. The aim of this study was to evaluate in vitro the effect of three subfractions (SFs) from the Cucumis sativus aqueous fraction to reduce inflammatory factors and oxidative stress induced by angiotensin II (Ang II) in human microvascular endothelial cells-1 (HMEC-1) cells. The cells were cultured with different concentrations of Ang II and 0.08 or 10 μg/mL of SF1, SF2, or SF3, or 10 μmol of losartan as a control. IL-6 (Interleukin 6) concentration was quantified. To identify the most effective SF combinations, HMEC-1 cells were cultured as described above in the presence of four combinations of SF1 and SF3. Then, the effects of the most effective combination on the expression of adhesion molecules, the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), and the bioavailability of nitric oxide (NO) were evaluated. Finally, a mass spectrometry analysis was performed. Both SF1 and SF3 subfractions decreased the induction of IL-6 by Ang II, and C4 (SF1 and SF3, 10 μg/mL each) was the most effective combination to inhibit the production of IL-6. Additionally, C4 prevented the expression of adhesion molecules, reduced the production of ROS, and increased the bioavailability of NO. Glycine, arginine, asparagine, lysine, and aspartic acid were the main components of both subfractions. These results demonstrate that C4 has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects.
