Background: Ethnomedicinal plants are of interest for treatment of various wound types. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate burn wound healing potential of the hydro-alcoholic extract of the flowers of Lilium candidum L. in rats. Methods: DPPH free radical scavenging power, total flavonoids, and the phenolic content of the extract were evaluated. Following burn wound induction, 30 Wistar ra...

abstract introduction the main function of the fibrinolytic system is to dissolve fibrin clots in circulation. this system is composed of inactive precursor plasminogen which can be converted into plasmin by the proteolytic enzymes like tissue-type plasminogen activator (tpa). fibrinolytic properties can be found in a variety of medicine plants and they could effectively prevent cardiovascular ...

A simple RNA isolation method based on hot borate and proteinase K was used to extract high-quality RNA from petals of daffodils (Narcissus pseudonarcissus L. 'Dutch Master'). The method was adapted from the isolation technique described by Wan and Wilkins (1994). A single isopropanol precipitation and ethanol wash replaced all the second day steps of the Wan and Wilkins procedure. The RNA isol...

Abelmoschus manihot (L.) Medic has been used for many years in Chinese traditional medicine. In this study, supercritical CO₂ plus a modifier was utilized to extract flavonoids from the flowers of Abelmoschus manihot (L.) Medic. The effects of temperature (40 °C-60 °C), pressure (10-30 MPa) and different concentrations of ethanol as modifier (60%-90%, ethanol:water, v/v) on major flavonol conte...
