Aim: To identify the hypericin content in Hypericum gaitii Haines through HPTLC & FTIR, an endangered medicinal plant and potential for curing many diseases like cancer, AIDS, tumour etc. Methods: Methanolic extract of leaves derived from in vitro raised plants were used in the mobile phase of Toluene: Ethyl acetate: Formic acid (10:8:3) and scanned under UV at 254nm and 366 nm and under visibl...

Background: Lung densitometry derived from computed tomographic images offers an opportunity to quantify emphysema non-invasively, but a pathological standard cannot be applied to validate its use in longitudinal monitoring studies. Consequently, forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) remains the standard against which new methods must be judged. We related progression of densitometry (15t...

Body composition was measured in nine healthy, normal-weight, weight-stable subjects in three different research centres. In each centre the usual procedures for the measurements were followed. It revealed that the measurement procedures in the three centres were comparable. Body composition was measured in each centre between 09.00 and 13.00 hours after a light breakfast by densitometry (under...

failure of antigen production is more likely to be due to genetic change associated with incomplete penetrance than to genetic loss. An alternative or additional possibility cannot, however, be excluded-that exuberant cell division causes dilution of a particulate cytoplasmic factor responsible for the formation of the antigen. Loss of organ-specific antigens could influence tumour metastasis b...

X-rays were initially used for the inspection of special-purpose wood pieces for quantitative evaluation of wood properties of different species. X-ray densitometry has had its use expanded in dendroclimatology of Picea engelmannii trees. Subsequent laboratories developed applications of X-ray densitometry for environmental, wood science and technology, and related areas. This paper describes t...

CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVE Identification of women at risk of bone fracture is becoming less dependent on evaluating bone mineral density through placing greater value on clinical risk factors. The aim of this study was to evaluate the sensitivity of the Osteorisk clinical tool for identifying Brazilian postmenopausal women with osteoporosis, compared with bone densitometry. DESIGN AND SETTING Cro...

The objective of this study was to evaluate the free radical scavenging potential and high performance thin layer chromatography (HPTLC) fingerprinting of Indigofera tinctoria (I. tinctoria). Phytochemical analysis was carried out using standard methods, and free radical scavenging activity of the plant was determined using 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazy (DPPH), nitric oxide (NO) and superoxide a...

Nowadays, plants have been considered as powerful agents for treatment of disorders regarding to their traditional use. In Iranian Traditional Medicine (ITM), plants have a special role in the treatment of various diseases. Burns with their devastating outcomes have been discussed in ITM as well. In the present study, a polyherbal ointment (PHO), retrieved from ITM, was formulated for burn heal...
