چکیده

results the present study revealed that the sobt and sop extracts showed in vitro bactericidal activity against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. furthermore, administration of sobt and sop increased the rats’ survival rates by 66.7% and 83.33%, respectively, as compared to the untreated clp-septic rats. treatment of the clp-septic rats with sobt and sop significantly alleviated alterations in procalcitonin levels and in some hematological parameters induced by clp. materials and methods forty-eight rats were divided into 4 groups, and starting 2 hours after clp, treatments were given for 2 days as follows: sham control rats treated orally with distilled water, septic rats treated orally distilled water, septic rats treated orally methanolic extract of sobt (500 mg/kg b.wt) suspended in distilled water, and septic rats treated orally sop extract (200 mg /kg b.wt) dissolved in distilled water. on the third day, half of the rats in each group were euthanized for blood collection. the other half were kept alive and used for the survival study. objectives the present investigation aims to evaluate the in vitro and in vivo antibacterial and antiseptic efficacy of sepia officinalis body tissue (sobt) extract and s. officinalis polysaccharide (sop) from its cuttlebone. background sepsis remains a major problem for both scientists and clinicians. cecal ligation and puncture (clp) is considered the gold standard for animal models of sepsis. the undesirable side effects of certain antibiotics have forced scientists to discover new, natural, and safe antimicrobial agents, such as cephalopods, which are known to display significant antimicrobial activity. conclusions sobt and sop had profound antiseptic efficacy.

Accommodation in the cuttlefish (Sepia officinalis).

We have studied natural accommodation in the eye of six specimens of cuttlefish (Sepia officinalis) as they were fed with fish and shrimp. Using infrared photoretinoscopy, we observed (1) that the resting refractive state of the cuttlefish was emmetropic or slightly hyperopic, (2) that accommodation took place only a fraction of a second before a strike and (3) that accommodation focused select...

New Insights into Individualized Antimetastatic Therapy

90% of cancer patients die of cancer metastasis. However, currently cancer chemotherapies are mainly focusing anticancer drugs targeting primary tumor instead of metastatic foci. So although the primary tumors have been inhibited by antiproliferative drugs, patient’s survival has been increased very little. If we shall change our focus on development of effective antimetastatic drugs and pursue...
