تمتلك المستخلصات النباتية أهمية خاصة تجاه صحة الإنسان والأنشطة الحيوية لمجموعة واسعة من الأمراض. هدفت الدراسة الحالية إلى التحقق من وجود مكونات فعالة في مستخلص أوراق البردقوش ، وتحديد مضادات الأكسدة ، والأنشطة المضادة للبكتيريا والفطريات ، و LD50 ونشاطها المضاد لمرض السكر. تم تحليل المكونات النشطة نوعيا من خلال طرائق اختبار محددة. وتم قياس الأنشطة المضادة للأكسدة ، LD50 ، مضادات البكتريا والفطريات بالطرائق القياسية. وحددت الفعالية المضادة للسكري عن طريق تقييم ارتفاع السكر وفرط شحميات الدم ووظائف الكبد بالطرائق الطيفية. اكدت النتائج على وجود العديد من المكونات الفعالة تتضمن مركبات الفلافونويد والقلويدات والتربينويدات والعفص والصابونين. كما أظهرت نتائج فعالية مضادات الأكسدة أن مستخلص أوراق البردقوش يمتلك نشاطًا مضادًا للأكسدة مشابهًا لحمض الأسكوربيك. وأظهرت نتائج LD50 أن الجرعة المسموح بها هي 12.5 ملغم / مل. أشارت نتائج الفعالية الحيوية إلى أن مستخلص أوراق البردقوش يمتلك فعالية مضادة لمدى واسع من البكتريا والفطريات المرضية ، ولكن لا يوجد تأثير للمستخلص على E. coli و Staphylococcus aureus حتى عند التراكيز العالية. أظهر مستخلص البردقوش فعالية عاليًة مضادًا للسكري عند المعالجته لمدة أسبوعين بـ 4 ملغم من المستخلص يوميا. مع تحسن مستوى الدهون ووظائف الكبد ومستويات هرمون التستوستيرون بعد العلاج في مجموعة مرضى السكري مقارنة مع مجموعة التحكم. يمكن الاستنتاج أن مستخلص أوراق البردقوش يحتوي على فعالية عالية مضادة للأكسدة مع فعالية حيوية عالية ضد البكتريا والفطريات المرضية ونشاط عال مضاد للسكري مع تعزيز كبير للخصوبة ومستوى عالٍ من الجرعات المسموح بها وفقًا لقيمة LD50.
Background: The restoration of bone continuity and bone union are complex processes, and their success is determined by the effectiveness of osteosynthesis. The use of plants for healing purposes predates human history and forms the source of current modern medicine The aim of this study: It was histological evaluation of effect of topical application of flavonoid on healing of induced bone defect in rabbit tibia. Material and method: Twenty-four Adult New Zealand rabbits used in this study, they were divided into four groups for the healing periods (3days, 1,2, and 4weeks) Two holes were induced in rabbit tibia one on the left side and has been left to heal normally as control. While, the other hole made on the right side filled with flavo

We present Group Tagging, a web application that supports reflection on collaborative, group‐based classroom activities. Group Tagging provides students with an opportunity to record important moments within the class‐based group work and enables reflection on and promotion of professional skills such as communication, collaboration and critical thinking. After class, students use the tagged clips to create short videos showcasing their group work activities, which can later be reviewed by the teacher. We report on a deployment of Group Tagging in an undergraduate Computing Scie

Corrosion inhibitors adsorb onto metallic surfaces and insulate them from deterioration. Plants abundant in nature offer a cost-effective replacement for toxic chemical inhibitors on the market. The current research used the potentiostatic polarization technique at room temperature to explore the inhibitory impact of water hyacinth extract on the corrosion of low-carbon steel specimens in a 3.5% NaCl solution. The Tafel curve was used to assess corrosion inhibition activity, with the best inhibition efficiency reaching 79.36% at a concentration of 200 ppm. Cyclic polarization indicated the type of corrosion was general corrosion. The

Show MoreThe aim of this study is to screen the phytochemicals found in Populus euphratica leaves since this type of trees are used traditionally by many villagers as treatment for eczema and other skin disease and also this plant is poorly investigated for their phytochemicals especially in Iraq. Phytochemical screening of the extracts obtained from the n-hexane and chloroform fraction of leaves of Populus euphratica was done by Thin-layer chromatography and various spraying reagents to test if alkaloids, sterols and other compounds are present. UPLC-electrospray ionization –tandem mass spectroscopy along with GC-MS and HPTLC are used to identify the phytochemicals present in the plant leaves.UPLC-ESI-MS/MS method 20 compound
... Show MoreIn the current study, synthesis and characterization of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) before and after functionalization with ampicillin antibiotic and their application as anti-pathogenic agents towards bacteria were investigated. AgNPs were synthesized by a green method from AgNO3 solution with glucose subjected to microwave radiation. Characterization of the nanoparticles was conducted using UV-Vis spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), zeta potential determination and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. From SEM analysis, the typical silver nanoparticle particle size was found to be 30 nm and Zeta potential measurements gave information about particle stability. Analysis of FTIR patterns and UV-VIS spectroscopy con
