abstract background: using non-pharmacological pain relief methods for reducing labor pain has always been one of the major concerns in obstetrics and gynecology. objective: comparing the effects of aromatherapy with jasmine and salvia on pain severity and labor outcome in nulliparous women. materials and methods: in this randomized clinical trial, 156 nulliparous women in labor were randomly s...

Two very common groups of oxylipins formed in plants involve the conversion of fatty acid hydroperoxides, such as hydroperoxy-octadecatrienoic acid, into further metabolites by allene oxide synthase and hydroperoxide lyase. Both of these oxylipin branch pathways appear to be ubiquitous or nearly so in plants, but the relative activities of these two branches vary among plant species. In most pl...

Three new steroidal glycosides, cyanoauriculosides F, G and H (1-3), were isolated from the roots of Cynanchum auriculatum (Asclepiadaceae) along with two known steroidal derivatives. On the basis of spectroscopic analysis and chemical methods, their structures were identified as 20-O-acetyl-8,14-seco-penupogenin-8-one 3-O-α-L-cymaropyranosyl-(1→4)-β-D-cymaropyranosyl-(1→4)-α-L-diginopyranosyl-...
