flavonoids are potentially immunomodulatory factors and it may be inferred that these phytochemicals contribute to immunomodulatory properties of the allium family. in the present study, we investigated the potential mechanism underlying the immunomodulatory effect of shallot and its ethyl acetate (ea) fraction as flavonoid-rich sources. ex vivo, effects of a hydroalcoholic extract of shallot, ...

This paper presents a new visualization technique for flow fields in 2D. It utilizes a physical model of smearing ink over a sheet of paper as an intuitive metaphor for the representation of a dynamical system. This technique is capable of producing images that are comparable to those generated with line integral convolution (LIC), which is a well-known and established visualization technique f...

In this paper we describe an approach to the problem of weighting various factors that contribute to an analysis or outcome of a problem situation and discuss issues about weighting as they touch upon our case-based reasoned HY@O. In HYPO, we take the approach of delaying for as long as possible any assignment of weights-and of symbolically comparing the “weights” of competing factors. We call ...

Line Integral Convolution (LIC) is a common approach for the visualization of vector elds. It is well suited for visualizing the direction of a ow eld, but it gives no information about the orientation of the underlying vectors. We introduce Oriented Line Integral Convolution (OLIC), where direction as well as orientation are encoded within the resulting image. This is achieved by using a low f...

By H. G. PETERING, PH.D., R. A. DELOR, B.S., AND H. C. MURRAY, PH.D. F OLIC acid or vitamin B9 deficiency has been induced in the rat by feeding a purified diet containing succinyl sulfathiazole or sulfaguanidine)’2’3’4’5’6 This deficiency is corrected in either case by feeding free or conjugated pteroyl glutamic acid while the syndrome produced by sulfaguanidine is also corrected by paraaminob...

INTRODUCTION Diabetes mellitus is defined as the increase in blood glucose level resulting from defects insulin secretion, action, or both. The present study was conducted to evaluate anti-diabetic activity of Justicia adhatoda (Linn.) leaves extract diabetic Wistar rats. adhatoda, commonly known vasaka rich phytochemicals like alkaloids, saponins, steroids, flavonoids and glycosides. It used ast...

The title compound, C(32)H(49)ClO(4), was obtained along with nitrile and lactam products in the POCl(3)-catalysed Beckmann rearrangement from 3β-acet-oxy-12-hydroxyiminoolean-28-olic acid methyl ester. The mechanism of the transformation leading to the title compound remains unclear and requires further investigation. Rings A, B and E are in chair conformations, ring C has a twisted-boat confo...

A new triterpene glycoside, 3-O-[(α-L-rhamnopyranosyl)(1→2)]-[β-D-glucuronopyranosyl-6-O-methyl ester]-olean-12-ene-28-olic acid (1) and a new indole alkaloid, 5-methoxy-2-oxoindolin-3-acetic acid methyl ester (5) were isolated from the leaves of Acanthopanax senticosus Harms along with six known compounds. The structures of the new compounds were determined by means of 2D-NMR experiments and c...
