The crude extracts of plants from Asteraceae and Lamiaceae family and essential oils from Salvia officinalis and Salvia sclarea were studied for their antibacterial as well as antibiotic resistance modifying activity. Using disc diffusion and broth microdilution assays we determined higher antibacterial effect of three Salvia spp. and by evaluating the leakage of 260 nm absorbing material we de...

BACKGROUND Previous reports suggest that homoplantaginin, one of the compounds isolated from Salvia plebeia, has a protective and therapeutic effect on hepatocyte injury. We present a case of serious liver and kidney damage due to incorrect use of Salvia plebeia in a patient with a history of thyroid tumorectomy, who was successfully treated for poisoning with blood purification and systemic, c...

1484 Abstract. – BACKGROUND: Hepatic fibrosis is characterised by a progressive accumulation of fibrillar extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins, including collagen that occurs in chronic liver diseases. Transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGFbeta)/Smad3 signalling plays a major role in tissue fibrogenesis acting as a potent stimulus of ECM accumulation. AIM: To evaluate the effects of a combined th...

In this paper, we construct generalized bent Boolean functions in n + 2 variables from 4 generalized Boolean functions in n variables. We also show that the direct sum of two generalized bent Boolean functions is generalized bent. Finally, we identify a set of affine functions in which every function is generalized bent.

A new invariant of the set of n-variable Boolean functions with respect to the action of AGL(n, 2) is studied. Application of this invariant to prove affine nonequivalence of two Boolean functions is outlined. The value of this invariant is computed for PSap type bent functions.

Recently, one of the hot topics on vectorial Boolean bent functions is to construct vectorial Boolean bent functions in the form Tr m(P (x)) from Boolean bent functions in the form Tr 1 (P (x)), where P (x) ∈ F2n [x]. This paper first presents three constructions of vectorial Boolean bent functions in the form Tr m(P (x)), where two of them give answers to two open problems proposed by Pasalic ...

This study was aimed to optimize the extraction process for Salvia miltiorrhiza Bunge polysaccharide using response surface methodology The results showed that four operating parameters including microwave power, microwave time and the particle size had notable effects on the polysaccharide extraction of Salvia miltiorrhiza Bunge. The effects could be ranked in decreasing order of importance as...

To establish an HPLC method for determination of tanshinone IIA in Salvia miltiorrhiza Bunge extract, and observe the protective effect of Salvia miltiorrhiza extract on myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury in rats. Column used is a Diamonsil C18, mobile phase is methanol-water (75:25), and detection wavelength is 270 nm. Ischemia-reperfusion injury model is replicated, and the size of myocar...

In difference to many recent articles that deal with generalized bent (gbent) functions f : Z 2 → Zq for certain small valued q ∈ {4, 8, 16}, we give a complete description of these functions for both n even and odd and for any q = 2 in terms of both the necessary and sufficient conditions their component functions need to satisfy. This enables us to completely characterize gbent functions as a...
