The taxonomy of the potamid genus Hainanpotamon Dai, 1995, from Vietnam, Laos, Hainan Island (China) and, purportedly, Okinawa Island (Japan) is reviewed. The type species, Potamon (Potamon) orientale (Parisi, 1916), is redescribed and a lectotype designated. In addition, three new species are described. The poorly known species Potamon (Geothelphusa) globosum Parisi, 1916, is assigned to Haina...

From the underground parts of Thalictrum orientale Boiss., a new phenolic compound 1 was isolated in addition to one known cyanoglycoside, lithospermoside (2). For the structure elucidation of all compounds, 1D- and 2D-NMR techniques (DEPT, COSY, HMBC, HSQC) and MS (HR-MALDI) were used. The structure of the new compound was established as 2-(4'-hydroxyphenyl)-nitroethane-4'-O-[beta-xylopyranosy...

Background: In this study the effect of water-alcohol Papaver bracteatum Lindl. Extract on development of mice oocytes treated with doxorubicin (dox) was examined. Materials and Methods: Mice at 7-8 weeks old were assigned to 4 groups. Control group, mice injected intraperitoneally (IP) with saline. P.bracteatum extract group alone, mice treated with 200 mg/kg of body weight, IP, twelve consecu...

Due to their easy and low-cost production enhanced properties, noble metal nanoparticles are preferred as nano-additives in most pharmaceutical compositions. For example, silver (AgNPs) gold (AuNPs) possess antiseptic antimicrobial activity they generally for obtaining antibacterial clothing coatings. In the present study, we report a simple, low cost green method synthesizing AgNPs using aqueo...
