Phytochemical investigations of Calotropis procera leaves have led to the isolation of two new compounds: quercetagetin-6-methyl ether 3-O-beta-D-4C1-galacturonopyranoside (3) and (E)-3-(4-methoxyphenyl-2-O-beta-D-4C1 -glucopyranoside)-methyl propenoate (4), along with eleven known metabolites: nine flavonol and two cinnamic acid derivatives. All metabolites were isolated for the first time fro...

Calotropis procera, a plant of family Asclepiadaceae is of immense importance as multipurpose plant with medicinal as well as traditional uses. Latex of this plant has been used to cure disease like leprosy, syphilis, inflammation, cutaneous infections, and malarial fever and in many more. In vitro culture of this pharmacologically plant is required otherwise it leads the segregated loss of des...

Snails control is considered the most effective method in reducing transmission of fascioliasis. Chemical molluscicides are reported to be toxic and ineffective due snail resistance, hence, need for safer molluscicides. The aim this study was assess molluscicidal activities two medicinal plants against host Fasciola gigantica . activity Morinda lucida Calotropis procera investigated Lymnaea nat...

The aim was to present the successful esthetical and functional rehabilitation of partial anodontia in a case of severe ectodermal dysplasia with complete atrophy of the jaws. A 17-year-old male with Class III malocclusion with partial anodontia sought dental implant treatment. His expectation was that of Class I occlusion. The challenge in the case was to match the expectation, reality, and th...

UNLABELLED To evaluate bond strengths of different resin cements to two aluminum oxide-based ceramics. METHODS One hundred ten ceramic cylinders were produced and given four different surface treatments. Resin cement cylinders were then bonded to the ceramic cylinders using different resin cements and the bond strength was determined by shear testing to the breaking point. We were thus able t...

We studied the effects of post-harvest treatments on regeneration and forest composition 13–27 years following harvest in high-elevation forests of the North Cascade Range, Washington. Eighteen sites encompassing three common post-harvest treatments were examined at elevations ranging from 830 m to 1460 m. Treatments included: (1) sites broadcast burned and planted with Abies amabilis or Abies ...

In the framework of a research project as identification of macro-fungi of Kheyroud Educational and Experimental Forest (Faculty of Natural Resources, University of Tehran, Tehran, Iran), more than 470 specimens of various groups of macro-fungi were collected and identified. From identified samples about 200 specimens were belong to 46 agaric species, as follows: Agaricus silvaticus, Bovista pl...

Distinct morphophysiological variations observed for over 2 years with-in short distances among four perennial plants indicated genetic diversity among the lines growing at three places. The isozyme and SDS polyacrylamide gel banding patterns as genetic markers were used to investigate four perennial species, namely Dalbergia sissoo Roxb., Delonix regia (Boj.) Refin., Cassia fistula L. and Calo...

PURPOSE The aim of this study was to assess the effect of acidic primers on adhesive bonding to prefabricated alumina material designed for fixed restorations. METHODS High-purity alumina disks (Procera AllCeram) were primed with one of the following materials: Acryl Bond, All Bond II Primer B, Alloy Primer, Estenia Opaque Primer, M.L. Primer, MR. Bond, and Super- Bond Liquid. The specimens w...
