five years old. Prednisone has the possible side effects of weight gain, behavior change, delayed growth, and high blood pressure (Genetic and Rare Diseases Information Center, 2017). The loss of the protein dystrophin causes a weak plasma membrane that is damaged while muscle contractions occur. Also, the loss of the protein dystrophin allows both extracellular calcium influx and the release of endogenous ligands. Due to the calcium influx it causes overactivation of calpain, which could have activated the NF-kB inflammatory pathways mediated by degradation of IkB-alpha and arouse inflammatory cytokine release, which further damages muscle regeneration (Department of Molecular Therapy, 2016). Another treatment for Duchenne muscular

Current medications for dementia are limited and there is a need to explore traditional medicinal system to investigate the agents that can prevent progression of memory loss or improve the existing capacity of learning and memory.
