Fraxinus floribunda Wallich (Family-Oleaceae) is a wide green tree in the sub-alpine region of Sikkim, India. The methanolic extract of the leaves of Fraxinus floribunda (MEFF) at 100, 200 and 400 mg/kg/p.o was screened in rats for anti-inflammatory activity by acute-carrageenan induced paw edema, sub-acute cotton pellet induced granuloma and chronic Freund's adjuvant induced arthritis models. ...

The unique properties of graphene, such as the high elasticity, mechanical strength, thermal conductivity, very high electrical conductivity and transparency, make them it an interesting material for stretchable electronic applications. In the work presented herein, the authors used graphene and carbon nanotubes to introduce chemical sensing properties into textile materials by means of a scree...

A novel plant gene CFLl was cloned from cotton (GossJPium hirsutum L.) fibers by expressed se­ quence tag (EST) database searching and 5'-RACE (rapid amplification of eDNA ends). This gene shows sequence homology with FKSl which has been identified as the putative catalytic subunit of the yeast fi-1,3-glucan syn­ thase. It encodes a protein (CFLlp) of 219 kDa with 13 deduced transmembrane helic...

The phenomenon of capillary condensation is studied through the weight change of condensed phase in an internally wetted porous pd catalyst pellet during the course of exothermic reacation of cyclohexane hydrogenation in a thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA). The direct measurement of condensed phase indicates that evaporation of condensed phase is confined to the macropores of catalyst pellet at ...

effect of intermittent mash-pellet feeding programs on broilers performance, ascites susceptibility and economic yield was studied using 480 broilers in six treatments and five replicates of 16 chicks per pen were used in a completely randomized design. treatments including: 1. mash feed, 2. heated-mash feed, 3. mash feed in starter and grower and pellet feed in finisher, 4. mash feed in starte...

Introduction and Aim: Solanum pubescens is one of the very well-known traditional medicinal plants it has been widely used in treatment many inflammatory conditions. This study aimed to evaluate anti-inflammatory property S. fruit. Materials Methods: Anti-inflammatory activities fruit extracts at different concentrations (100-200 mg/kg) were carried out using carrageenan-induced cotton implant-...

CONTEXT Byrsonima crassifolia is a tropical tree, commonly known as nance and distributed widely in Mexico and Central and South America. Since pre- Hispanic times, the seeds of the fruits have been used in folklore medicine as an anti-inflammatory; however, currently no researchers have examined its potential pharmacological properties in scientific studies. OBJECTIVE This study investigated...
