Gene expression inhibition. Chloroform/ methanol extract (1 1) of the dried leaf, in cell culture, was active on hepatoma-Cos-7, IC50 600.0 pg/mL vs TAT-dependent activation of HIV promoter hioassay - . Hepatotoxic activity. The leaf, taken orally by a female adult, was active - . A patient consumed 15 tablets of the leaf per day for 4 months. Approximately 1 year after stopping consumption, liver enzymes returned to normal and fatigue was no longer a complaint - ".

Finally, it is worth repeating the statement of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, issued in 1992 but still valid (17) The suggestion that HIV, the AIDS virus, originated as a result of inadvertent inoculation of an HIV-like virus present in monkey kidney cell cultures used to prepare polio vaccine is one of a number of unsubstantiated hypotheses. The weight of scientific evidence does not support this idea and there is no more reason to believe this hypothesis than many other which have been considered and rejected on scientific grounds. ... 

The incidence of skin reactions seems to vary regionally there is a low incidence in Switzerland (12), but a high incidence has been reported by the US Centers for Disease Control. The latter reported skin reactions in 1 5000 to 1 8000 cases, with fatal reactions in 1 10 000 to 1 25 000 users (SEDA-12, 242). In Britain the retrospective reporting rate for all serious reactions was 1 2100 and for cutaneous reactions one in 4900 prescriptions, with a fatality rate of one in 11100 (SEDA-16, 309).

Noise-induced hearing loss is a problem of epidemic proportion in modern society, and is currently the second most common form of hearing impairment in the United States (after age-related hearing loss). Although it is difficult to accurately assess the extent of the problem, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has estimated that 12.5% of US children aged 6-19 years have some form of noise-induced hearing loss in one or both ears, and a 1990 Consensus Statement issued by the US National Institutes of Health estimated that over one-third of the 28 million people in the United States suffering from...
