The female of Sinopoda serrata (Wang, 1990) is described for the first time from Tiantangzhai National Forest Park, Hubei province, China. This species has been recorded from the region of Central China. Morphological descriptions and illustrations of this species are given.

linguatula serrata is one of the important zoonotic parasites. carnivores serve as definitive host. the larvae existed in mesenteric lymph nodes (mlns), liver, lungs, etc of intermediate herbivores. the definitive host becomes infected by ingesting viscera containing the infective nymphal stage. humans may be infected with linguatula either by ingestion of nymphs resulting in a condition called...

The evolutionary effects of glacial periods are poorly understood for Southern Hemisphere marine intertidal species, particularly obligatory sessile organisms. We examined this by assessing the phylogeographic patterns of the southern African volcano barnacle, Tetraclita serrata, a dominant species on rocky intertidal shores. Restricted gene flow in some geographical areas was hypothesized base...

Aminosalicylates, corticosteroids and immunosuppressants are currently the therapeutic choices in inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), however, with limited remission and often serious side effects. Meanwhile complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) use is increasing, particularly herbal medicine. Boswellia serrata is a traditional Ayurvedic remedy with anti-inflammatory properties, of intere...

Commercially available extracts from Boswellia serrata resin used as anti-inflammatory drugs or phytonutrients show paradoxical concentration-dependent potentiating and inhibitory actions on 5-lipoxygenase (5-LO) product synthesis in stimulated PMNs. In our attempt to characterize the stimulating constituents, we identified the tetracyclic triterpene 3-oxo-tirucallic acid (3-oxo-TA), which, in ...

Leprosy is a chronic granulomatous disease caused by Mycobacterium leprae , clinically present either as tuberculoid, borderline or lepromatous type. Erythema nodosum leprosum (ENL) is an acute humoral response in the chronic course of lepromatous leprosy. Although very severe ENL reactions are known in systemic leprosy, such severity is rare in ocular tissues. A leprosy uveitis patient suffere...

linguatula serrata is a zoonotic parasite with global expansion, particularly in tropical and subtropical areas. the aim of this study was to evaluate the pathological lesions caused by l. serrata in mesenteric lymph nodes (mln) of water buffalo. to study the pathological lesions of nymphal stage in water buffaloes, enlarged and swollen mln were collected and examined. grossly, the mln were swo...

Huperzia serrata (Thunb. Ex Murray) Trevis belonging to the Lycopodiaceae family contains main active ingredient Huperzine A (HupA), which is effective in treatment of dementia. However, H. nature a low content HupA. Additionally, this plant grows very slowly and overexploited, thereby leading risk extinction. In study, we used vitro shoot induce multiplication by tissue culture method quantify...

Predicting the geographic distribution of a species together with its response to climate change is great significance for biodiversity conservation and ecosystem sustainable development. Zelkova serrata an excellent shelterbelt tree that used soil water due fact well-developed root system, strong fixation, wind resistance. However, wild germplasm resources Z. have been increasingly depleted we...
