Volatile com pounds which are released from fresh leaves o f Thuja occidentalis inhibited ger­ m ination o f seeds o f Amaranthus caudatus and Lepidium sativum. The volatile com pounds were obtained by a vacuum m ethod applied to the leaves, by direct analysis o f the content o f secretory organs and by solvent extraction o f leaves. The bioactive com pounds proved to be m onoterpenes. The high...

Various mitogens have been described which act on different subpopulations of mouse and/or human peripheral lymphocytes. In recent years it has been mainly Japanese and German research teams that have isolated polysaccharide fractions with immunomodulative properties [1-3, 17]. In addition to fungal polysaccharides such as lentinan, schizophyllan, and PSK polysaccharide, which are basically in ...

Regeneration success of canopy dominants is linked to multiple factors, including the ability of their seedlings to survive browsing and to utilize available resources in the understory. In remnant upland northern white cedar Thuja occidentalis L. forests, e€ects of browsing on recruitment of cedar seedlings were evaluated at 7 sites, including known deer yards, located on a portion of the Lake...

Arbor vitae (Thuja occidentalis L.) is a native European tree widely used in homeopathy and evidence-based phytotherapy. Many reviews and monographs have been published on the herbal substance's description, mode of action and clinical use. However, no comprehensive evidence-based review is available. Therefore, our aim was to search MEDLINE databases and survey manufacturers for further detail...

Various treatment of papillomatosis in dogs have been described: oral azithromycin [33], cimetidine [6], etretinate [22] and human recombinant interferon-α 2a [27], intramuscular Propionibacterium acnes [21], intravenous taurolidine [3], subcutaneous live papillomavirus vaccine [4], topical applications of 5-fluorouracil or imiquimod and surgical excision, crushing laser surgery or cryosurgical...
