ischemia-reperfusion injury is the tissue damage happened when blood supply returns to the tissue after a period of ischemia or shortage of oxygen. this brain injury initiates an inflammatory response involving the expression of adhesion molecules and cytokines. the aim of this study is investigating the effect of hydroalcoholic extract of  cyperus rotundus l. on the expression of the bcl-x1 an...

Cyperus rotundus L. has been widely distributed in China. In the exploration of Cyperi Rhizoma to pat attention on its geoherbalism is very necessary. The current index of quality control for Cyperi Rhizoma and Cyperus rotundus-volatile oil is the αCyperone contained in the Cyperus rotundus-volatile oil, different processing methods influence the content of their αCyperone. On the basis of the ...

The ~umose of the four ex~eriments re~orted here was to Preliminary results of four experiments designed to determine the competitive effects of Cyperus rotundus L. on sugarcane and to investigate methods of controlling this weed, are reported. A trial in which a plant crop of varieties N13 and N8 was grown under rainfed conditions showed that competition from C. rotundus caused decreases in yi...

The present study compares the blood-serum proteins of populations of the Levantine viper, Macrovipera lebetina L. from Cyprus and southern Anatolia by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and densitometry analysis methods. There were discernible differences found between the two populations for the blood serum protein features compared. By considering these differences, it is concluded that the ...

Fresh aerial part of the Cyperus rotundus L., was extracted with methanol followed by concentrated. The concentrated residue was fractionated by column chromatography method using petroleum ether, chloroform, ethyl acetate and methanol. Each fraction has analyzed the preliminary phytochemical screening test to steroids, terpenpoids, alkaloids, flavonoids, phenolic compounds, etc., present in th...

Outcome: Phytochemical investigation of Cyperus rotundus tubers resulted in isolation of four phytoconstituents characterized as n-tritriacontan-16-one (1), Lup-12, 20 (29)-dien-3β-ol-3-α-L-arabinofuranosyl-2'-octadec-9"-eonate (2), npentadecanyl-9-octadecenoate (3) and n-tetradecanyl-n-octadec-9, 12-dienoate (4). Only compound 2 showed antimicrobial activity. Lup-12, 20 (29)-dien-3β-ol3-α-L-ar...

76 www.thelancet.com/infection Vol 9 February 2009 Nicole Léger and Jérôme Depaquit emphasise “the importance of preventing an extension of this anthroponotic species in Europe”, a point also stressed by Dujardin et al, since leishmaniasis is not placed under public health surveillance in Europe. We certainly agree with the authors that the indigenous transmission of Leishmania donovani to Cypr...
