OBJECTIVES As the peripheral part of the primo vascular system (PVS) is difficult to visualize, we used a vascular casting material Mercox injected directly into the skin to take advantage of a simple procedure to visualize PVS structures as primo vessels (PVs) and primo nodes (PNs) in the skin. METHODS Two colors of the polymer Mercox were injected into mouse skin. After a partial maceration...

The three-dimensional architecture of filamentous components in the lamina densa of the Schwann cell basement membrane was studied in the mouse sciatic nerve by transmission and scanning electron microscopy after osmium-maceration treatment, and also by conventional electron microscopy. In conventionally prepared specimens, the lamina densa of the basement membrane was the most electron-dense, ...

Objective: The present study was aimed to assess the anti-inflammatory activity profile of Barleria spp. viz., B. prionitis Linn. and B. cristata Linn. against different models of inflammation in female rats. Methods: Seven different extracts viz., mother extract (methanolic, ME, maceration), hexane (HE), chloroform (CE), ethyl acetate (EAE), butanol (BE) and left aqueous (LAE) extract obtained...

Pistacia vera L., a member of Anacardiaceae family, has been used for sedation and analgesia in traditional medicine. In this study, the antinociceptive and anti-inflammatory effects as well as acute toxicity of the aqueous and ethanolic extracts of P. vera leaves were investigated in mice. The antinociceptive activity was studied using hot plate and writhing tests. The effect of the extracts a...

Green tea (Camellia sinensis L.) is one of the most widely used plants in Indonesia. rich catechins which have many benefits including antioxidants, anticancer, can reduce stress, and cholesterol levels blood. This study aims to determine Tea extract with various extraction methods. Each sample was extracted by maceration, microwave infusion using aquadest solvent obtained Freeze Drying. Qualit...

It is well known that cell-free alcoholic fermentation shows the HardenYoung effect: when sugar is fermented by dialyzed Lebedev maceration juice in the presence of orthophosphate and all known coenzymes, the rate of fermentation decreases markedly after the free phosphate is exhausted (cf. Meyerhof (1)). This phenomenon is due to the coupling between dehydrogenation of triose phosphate and bin...

This article considers the anatomy and physiology of the skin,wound healing, excoriation, maceration, peristomal skin and the importance of periwound protection. The results of a 54-patient study of the use of barrier film forming skin protection in periwound skin are presented and a 10-patient healthy volunteer experimental evaluation. The results confirm the effectiveness of barrier protectio...

In the Siddha system of Medicine cotyledons of the seeds of C. Lanatus are known as Mulam/Pullum/Pitcha (Tamil) and used as Pulukolli (Vermifuge), Karpa moolikai (General tonic) and as Aanmeiperukki (Aphrodisiac). In the Ayurvedic system of Medicine seeds are said to have properties like Sheeta (cooling), Mootrala (Diuretic) and Vrshya (Aphrodisiac). The present paper deals with macro and micro...

Considerable information on the submicroscopic structure of nerve fibers has been obtained from polarization opitical analyses and x-ray diffraction studies, but such methods do not allow direct visualization of details lying beyond the light microscope's resolution . Successful application of the electron microscope to this problem with its increase in resolving power has made possible an exte...
