This study was aimed to develop of complete microscopy and macroscopy of Tridex procumbens in which the leaves, petioles, roots and stems were studied. Tridex procumbens Linn. Fam. Asteraceae commonly known as ‘Coat Buttons’ is an important plant used against various activities in indigenous system of medicine such as hepatoprotective, antihepatotoxic, antipyretics, anti-diabetic, blood coagula...

Jatropha integerrima Jacq. (Euphorbiaceae) is an erect ornamental shrub, native to West Indies. The plant has numerous applications in traditional medicine but there is a lack of data related to the standards of roots of the plant. So pharmacognostical study and parameters related to physico-chemical properties have been assessed. Macroscopy and microscopy of transverse section were performed. ...

A new device was used to achieve focused tissue ablation by shockwave induced cavitation. The device produced a half cycle of negative pressure followed by a shock wave, thus enhancing cavitation. Twenty eight New Zealand rabbits were treated. Therapeutic ultrasound was targeted at the centre of the liver under ultrasound guidance. The focal volume was scanned with a computer operated x-y-z mic...

The inhibition performance of essential oil extracts citrus sinensis (CS) on the corrosion plain carbon steel (PCS) in 0.5 M H2SO4 and HCl solution was evaluated by weight loss measurement, potentiodynamic polarization technique, optical macroscopy ATF-FTIR spectroscopy. CS more effectively inhibited PCS compared to with optimal result 81.61% 76.95% from measurement. corresponding values are 94...

This study presents the results of anatomic-morphological examination of vegetative (leaves) and generative (flowers, fruits) organs of the endemic plant Crataegus almaatensis Pojark – family Rosaceae, growing in the foothills of Ile Alatau mountains, Almaty region of the Republic of Kazakhstan. The plant Crataegus almaatensis Pojark was examined during the phenological phase of flowering and f...

Periodontitis is associated with reduced antioxidant capacity and increased oxidative damage. Oxidative stress induces inflammation and bone loss contributing to the pathological progression of periodontal disease. Calendula officinalis (CLO) has demonstrated anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant activities. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of CLO on oxidative stress and...

BACKGROUND The aim of this experimental study was to investigate the effectiveness of intramuscular pentoxifylline in the prevention of postoperative fibrosis. MATERIAL/METHODS We divided 16 adult Wistar albino rats into 2 equal groups: treatment and control. Both groups underwent L1 vertebral total laminectomy to expose the dura. The intramuscular treatment group received pentoxifylline. Fou...

Chloramphenicol acetyl transferase (CAT) is an enzyme encoded by plasmids that detoxify the antibiotic chloramphenicol. It is responsible for chloramphenicol resistance in bacteria. Chloramphenicol acetyl transferase covalently attaches an acetyl group from acetyl-CoA to chloramphenicol which prevents chloramphenicol from binding to ribosomes. CAT is used as a reporter gene marker for the succe...

The aim of this study was to specifically visualize micrometastases in the peritoneal cavity, which cannot be detected by conventional methods, by using enhanced Green Fluorescent Protein (EGFP) containing carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) promoter in an upstream position. In in vitro experiments, two cell lines from human gastric cancer, MKN45 and MKN1, and a cell line from human fibrosarcoma, HT...

Citrus reticulata Blanco belongs to the family Rutaceae. It is commonly known as Narangi or Santra. Peel is the outer part of the pericarp of the ripe or nearly ripe fruits of Citrus reticulata Blanco. The present study deals with the pharmacognostic and phytochemical evaluation of Citrus reticulata Blanco peel. This study includes the macroscopic and microscopic analysis, physicochemical evalu...
