Attempts to utilize pharmacologically active agents to close the fallopian tubes date back at least to 1849 when Froriep reported passing a cannula transcervically to the uterine tubal ostia and cauterizing the tubal lumen with a nitric acid-coated probe.14 Salgado reported in 194 1 that Brazilian midwives lavaged the uterine cavity with a mixture of tincture of iodine and carbolic acid as a co...

Polystyrene (PS) was extracted from Styrofoam (expanded polystyrene foam) waste, so called white pollutant. The PS was functionalized with N,NBis(2-aminobenzylidene)benzene-1,2diamine (ABA) ligand through an azo spacer. The resin was characterized by FT-IR spectroscopy and elemental analysis. The PSN=N-ABA resin was used for the enrichment and speciation of Cr(III)/Cr(VI) ions and total Cr dete...

Podophyllum hexandrum, a perennial herb commonly known as the Himalayan May Apple, is well known in Indian and Chinese traditional systems of medicine. P. hexandrum has been widely used for the treatment of venereal warts, skin infections, bacterial and viral infections, and different cancers of the brain, lung and bladder. This study aimed at elucidating the effect of REC-2006, a bioactive fra...

OBJECTIVES The effect of Podophyllum hexandrum methanolic extract and alpha-tocopherol in reducing oxidative stress in male albino rats was evaluated. MATERIALS AND METHODS Lipid peroxidation was monitored by measuring malondialdehyde (MDA) level in different tissues of rats. Activities of free radical scavenging enzymes (superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase and catalase) were determi...

Verrucous carcinoma of the vulva is a rare lesion (1). Affecting essentially postmenopausal women, this lesion is a distinct and particular entity in vulval carcinoma classification and its scalability is uncertain and unpredictable. Here, we present a case concerning a 48-year-old patient, without follow-up after a condyloma acuminate of the vulva (large left lip). The origin of this case will...

INTRODUCTION The American mayapple (Podophyllum peltatum L.; Berberidaceae) is a rhizomatous perennial species found throughout eastern North America. The species has received attention recently due to pharmaceutical compounds found in its leaves. Podophyllotoxin, along with α-peltatin, and β-peltatin, are aryltetralin lignans known to have biological activity such as anti-cancer, anti-fungal, ...

In this research, we successfully expressed recombinant CMP-sialic Acid Synthetase (CSS) from Neisseria meningitides and 2,6-Sialyltransferase (SAT) from Photobacterium damsela in E. coli BL21(DE3) fermented at a scale of up to 8 litres using individual plasmids pIRL-1 and pIRL-4b, respectively. After cell lysis with BugBuster, enzyme levels of 2U and 22U per litre were produced for CSS and SAT...

In this study, the effect of flowable composite reinforced with a leno wave ultra high modulus (LWUHM) polyethylene fiber (Ribbond) on fracture resistance of endodontically treated molars with MOD cavity and lingual cuspal fracture was evaluated. Sixty sound extracted human mandibular molars were randomly assigned to six groups (n = 10). Group 1 served as control. Teeth in groups 2-6 received r...

BACKGROUND The present study was conducted to evaluate the in vitro and in vivo antioxidant properties of aqueous extract of Podophyllum hexandrum. The antioxidant potential of the plant extract under in vitro situations was evaluated by using two separate methods, inhibition of superoxide radical and hydrogen peroxide radical. Carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) is a well known toxicant and exposure t...
