The aromatic compounds of Artemisia annua were extracted by supercritical carbon dioxide. Supercritical carbon dioxide extraction of volatile flavor compounds from Artemisia annua was performed at pressure 150bar and temperature 40oC. The flow rate of CO2 was 20 g/min and the flow rate of ethanol as an entrainer was 5% of CO2 used. The extraction time was 1 h. The trapped sample by cold trap 1 ...

Hyperalgesia is one of the major symptoms of diabetic neuropathy in some patients and could affect their life quality. Considering the antidiabetic potential of tarragon in traditional medicine, this study was conducted to evaluate the analgesic effect of oral administration of tarragon in male streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. For this purpose, male Wistar rats (n = 43) were randomly divid...

We describe an experimentation environment that enables large-scale numerical simulations of neural microphysiology to be fed back onto living neurons in-vitro via dynamic wholecell patch clamping – in effect making living neurons and simulated neurons part of the same neural circuit. Owing to high computational demands, the experimental testbed will be dispersed over a local area network compr...
