This study was designed to evaluate the therapeutic potentials and neuroprotective effects of methanol extract of Buchholzia coriacea (BC) seeds on sodium azide (NaN3) induced neurotoxicity of the prefrontal cortex in male Wistar rats. Neurotoxicity occurs as a result of exposure to neurotoxins in the environment, of which NaN3 is a potent neurotoxin. Thirty male Wistar rats were were randomly divided into 5 groups. Group A were administered with distilled water. Group B was administered with NaN3 for 28 days. Group C was administered with NaN3 for 28 days and thereafter B. coriacea for 21 days. Group D was administered with B. coriacea for 21 days and then NaN3 for 28 days. Group E was administered with only B. coriacea for 21 days. After treatment, neurobehavioral assessment was carried out after which the rats were sacrificed, and the prefrontal cortex excised. The prefrontal cortex was then processed for histological and biochemical analysis (SOD, MDA, GSH, and CAT). Pre-treatment and ...

Dermal mycotic infections caused by superficial fungi are most prevalent disease of body surface. Dermatophytes comprising of three genera are responsible for these types of infections in human beings and other animals. The aim of present study was to evaluate the antimycotic activity of 50 % ethanolic extract of Crataeva nurvala (extracted by rotavapor process) using the technique of Broth Micro Dilution method, recommended by CLSI (NCCLS). The activities were analysed in units of MIC having 1.511 and 1.981 mg/ml for Trichophyton mentagrophytes and Microsporum fulvum respectively. The microbial activity of the Crataeva nurvala was due to the presence of various secondary metabolites. Further studies will to helpful to isolate the active compounds from those extracts with fungicidal potential.. ...

Development of multi drug resistance to available anti microbial agent requires the search for new and alternative drug entities. The aim of the study is to assess the antimicrobial activity and to determine the zone of inhibition and percentage of inhibition of extracts on some bacterial and fungal strains. In the present study, the microbial activity of crude ethanolic extract and isolated compound I and II of root bark of Crataeva magna Lour DC (an ethno medicinal plant) was evaluated for potential antimicrobial activity against medically important bacterial and fungal strains. Phytochemical screening of root bark of Crataeva magna Lour DC was done as per the accepted international protocol so as to ascertain the possible presence of alkaloid, carbohydrate, tannin, Saponin, terpenoid, flavonoid, Coumarin and phenol The antimicrobial activity was determined in the extracts using agar disc diffusion method and food poison technique method. Antibacterial potential of extracts were assessed in terms of

However, the rapid rise of antimicrobial resistance has made it necessary to look for new antimicrobial additives for such materials. In this study, a novel antimicrobial hydrogel for wound care applications has been developed. The material combines TEMPO-oxidized nanocellulose hydrogel with a new class of antimicrobial agent, phenyl bis-phosphinato bismuth (III) complex. The hydrogel was characterized using scanning electron microscope imaging to show the overall distribution of the complex particles within the nanocellulose hydrogel matrix phase. The rheological properties of the bismuth loaded ...

Titanium and its alloys are preferred for hard tissue implant materials, however, their inherent bioinertia cause poor osseointegration. Besides, they is lack of antibacterial ability, which results in the risk of implant-related infections. It is well known, the biological effects of implant materials are related to their surface microenvironment. Therefore, it is significant to explore the effect of the surface microenvironment on the behaviors of bacteria and cells. The pH value of the microenvironment is significant to the behaviors of bacteria and cells. And in general, weakly acidic microenvironment is beneficial to the survival of bacteria, and weakly alkaline microenvironment is conducive to bone formation. Therefore, constructing functional coating with tunable alkaline microenvironment on titanium is expected to endow it selective antibacterial and osteogenic abilities. From this perspective, various alkaline coatings were constructed on the surface of biomedical titanium via ...

The rise of multidrug resistant bacteria is a major worldwide health concern. There is currently an unmet need for the development of new and selective antibacterial drugs. Therapies that target and disarm the crucial virulence factors of pathogenic bacteria, while not actually killing the cells themselves, could prove to be vital for the treatment of numerous diseases. This article discusses the main surface architectures of pathogenic Gram-negative bacteria and the small molecules that have been discovered, which target their specific biogenesis pathways and/or actively block their virulence. The future perspective for the use of antivirulence compounds is also assessed.. ...

Pretty, dont you think?!! This product is a black gel-like fluid that has a warming sensation when used. Thats an added bonus for the fun factor alone, but it does feel very nice and relaxing on my skin. Is it odd that I look forward to using this just for that warming element? The heat sensation doesnt last too long though. The scent is earthy with a hint of licorice, and it does produce a lather, but I would say just a moderate amount. It rinses clean away, and leaves my skin feeling soft and hydrated. My pores are almost completely cleared, so that is a big plus. Radiant skin and clear pores. Sample succeess ...

Zur Jahrhundertwende wurden einige in vivo/ex vivo Strategien entwickelt, um proteomische Interaktionsnetzwerke zu charakterisieren (Gavin et al., 2002; Ho et al., 2002; Ito et al., 2001; Uetz et al., 2000). Es zeigte sich jedoch sehr schnell, dass die berichteten Interaktome aus Saccharomyces cerevisiae nur eine mäßige Überlappung zeigen. Diese Erkenntnis fordert zwingend jegliche Interaktomstudien durch orthogonale Methoden zu validieren (Von Mering et al., 2002). Eine alternative in vitro Strategie basiert auf einer Hochdurchsatz-Protein-Präparierung im Arrayformat (Kung et al., 2009; Phizicky et al., 2003; Ptacek et al., 2005; Zhu et al., 2001). Obwohl inzwischen einige experimentelle Studien publiziert wurden, ist noch nicht klar, welcher Prozentsatz eines eukaryotischen Proteoms in gefalteter Form hergestellt und funktionsfähig auf einen festen Träger immobilisiert werden kann.

DNA isolation and PCR amplification: The method of Sharma et al. (2003) was used to extract total genomic DNA from tender twigs along with leaves of all the 46 samples. The DNA samples were treated with RNAase, assessed on 0.8% agarose gel and diluted to 25ng/μL for PCR amplification. A set of 14 random primers of OPF, OPG and OPH series (Operon Technologies Inc., Alameda, California) was selected for RAPD analysis (Table 2). The RAPD primers of OPF and OPG series were selected from study of Vyas et al. (2009). The PCR reactions were carried out in a 25μL reaction mixture containing 1X assay buffer, one unit of Taq DNA polymerase (Bangalore GeneiPvt. Ltd., India), 200μM of each dNTPs (Bangalore GeneiPvt. Ltd., India), 0.2μM primers and 50ng of template DNA in thermal cycler (Model-CGI-96, Corbett Research, Australia). The PCR reaction was performed in 45 cycles: one cycle of denaturation at 94°C for 4min followed by 44 cycles of denaturation at 94°C for 1min, primer annealing at 37°C for ...

Note: This is a taxonomic opinion of the family summarised by Cardinal-McTeague et al. (2016), Tamboli et al. (2018) and Hassler et al. (2019). This view is rejected by The Global Flora (2018) and Plants of the World online (2019) who favour Morisonia as the sole New World segregate from Capparis s.l.. However, Cornejo (2018) presents a robust defence of the above circumscription firmly rejecting the opinions of Christenhusz et al. (2018). ...

Introduction: Capparis species (Capparaceae), also called caper, grow naturally in various regions of the world. Caper is a plant with medicinal and aromatic properties. Flower buds, root bark, and fruits of the plant are used in folk medicine due to their analgesic, wound healing, cell regeneration, tonic, and diuretic effects. Objective: The aim of this research was to evaluate in vitro (anti-urease, antioxidant, anticholinesterase) and in vivo (anti-inflammatory) biological activities of caper (C. ovata var. canescens). In addition, we aimed to identify its major phenolic compounds using high performance liquid chromatography with a photodiode array detector (HPLC-DAD) and confirmate them using quadrupole time-of-flight liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry (Q-TOF-LC/MS). Also, we quantified the concentrations of several trace and major elements in plant samples using inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). Methods: The antioxidant, anti-urease and ...

Hill Mynas are prized for their vocal skills for hundreds of years. Even though all Hill Mynas are capable of human speech, some are better than others. Some are able to talk with the same tones and clarity of speech as the human voice they mimic. The Hill Mynah has been described as the best talking bird in the world, indeed the champion of mimics!. Two species - Greater Indian Hill (Gracula religiosa intermedia) and the Common Hill Myna (Gracula religiosa religiosa) - are recognized as the most proficient talkers of the Hill Mynas and indeed of all talking birds, and these two species were the most widely imported for the pet trade than any other myna. The Common Hill Myna (Gracula religiosa religiosa) is the larger of the two and has a louder voice.. Lesser Hill Mynas or Southern Hill Mynas (Gracula religiosa indica) are also capable of learning words and phrases, but their voice has a higher pitch and they dont have the tone ranges needed to imitate human voice as well as the Greater Indian ...

Si può leggere la Bibbia nella prospettiva del dialogo interculturale e interreligioso?. Lavventura dellesodo dallEgitto, la conquista della Terra, la sedentarizzazione in Canaan, lesperienza della diaspora esilica, la ricostruzione del Tempio al ritorno da Babilonia, limpatto con la cultura ellenistica hanno offerto al popolo dIsraele occasioni infatti di confronto con persone e culture diverse, che hanno lasciato una traccia viva nella sua storia, a volte segnando in profondità la ma-niera stessa con cui viene espressa la relazione con JHWH.. Gli stranieri in Israele, gli ebrei in terra straniera, e infine i Maccabei a Gerusalemme, sfidano i cristiani a superare le di-scriminazioni ed affermare la libertà religiosa e di coscienza, con la consapevolezza ecclesiale e la fiducia che tutte le differenze sono ordinate allunico popolo di Dio (cf. Lumen Gentium n. 1).. Affacciarsi ad alcune storie collocate nei momenti epocali della sto-ria biblica potrà aiutare a superare i pregiudizi che ...

Nel 1937 il professore Marcello Clerici sposa Giulia. Mentre la donna è spensierata, allegra, senza problemi, lui - nonostante i buoni successi come docente di filosofia - è tormentato da un ricordo: a tredici anni ha ucciso Lino Seminara, un autista che ha tentato di avere con lui dei rapporti omosessuali. Da allora Marcello ha abbandonato la pratica religiosa e si è legato strettamente con lOVRA, la polizia segreta fascista.

Downloadable! We exploit a unique setting in which two professionals compete in a real-life tennis contest with high monetary rewards in order to assess how men and women respond to competitive pressure. Comparing their performance in low-stakes versus high-stakes situations, we find that men consistently choke under competitive pressure, but with regard to women the results are mixed. Furthermore, even if women show a drop in performance in the more crucial stages of the match, it is in any event about 50% smaller than that of men. These findings are robust to different specifications and estimation strategies.
