Morphological Development of Sambong (Blumea balsamifera (L.) DC.) Leaf Studied by Frozen Section and Thin Section

Effects and Mechanisms of Total Flavonoids from Blumea balsamifera (L.) DC. on Skin Wound in Rats

Chinese herbal medicine (CHM) evolved through thousands of years of practice and was popular not only among the Chinese population, but also most countries in the world. Blumea balsamifera (L.) DC. as a traditional treatment for wound healing in Li Nationality Medicine has a long history of nearly 2000 years. This study was to evaluate the effects of total flavonoids from Blumea balsamifera (L....

Blumea balsamifera--a phytochemical and pharmacological review.

The main components of sambong (Blumea balsamifera) are listed in this article. The whole plant and its crude extracts, as well as its isolated constituents, display numerous biological activities, such as antitumor, hepatoprotective, superoxide radical scavenging, antioxidant, antimicrobial and anti-inflammation, anti-plasmodial, anti-tyrosinase, platelet aggregation, enhancing percutaneous pe...

Golgi Apparatus, Gerl, and Lysosomes of Neurons in Rat Dorsal Root Ganglia, Studied by Thick Section and Thin Section Cytochemistry

New insights into the ultrastructure and phosphatase localizations of Golgi apparatus and GERL, and into the probable origin of lysosomes in the neurons of fetal dorsal root ganglia and the small neurons of adult ganglia have come from studying thick (0.5-1.0 micro) as well as thin (up to 500 A) sections by conventional electron microscopy. Tilting the thick specimens, by a goniometer stage, ha...

Thin section

Thin section polarized-light microscopy is a simple, cost-effective and nondestructive technique utilized to delineate crystalline or amorphous solids at varying scales and spatial resolutions; thereby allowing the different phases to be studied within their textural framework. Estimates of chemical composition and insight into the solid’s genesis can be deduced via unique textural characterist...
