The grape (Vitis vinifera L.) posses several remedy effects. In this study, the anti limnatis nilotica effect of methanolic extract of Vitis vinifera L. plant as well as niclosamide were investigated by anti-leech assay. Distilled water selected as placebo. The mean death time of leeches in groups treated with niclozomide for mature and immature form were 15.4 and 10.1 minutes, respectively. Th...

Based on the structures of identified active ingredients, the phenolic compounds extracted from grape seeds and pine bark would not be expected to be genotoxic. Indeed, the inventor of pycnogenol states that this product was tested in Salmonella typhimurium and was negative. Substantial health claims for grape seed and pine bark extracts, including some studies showing tumor inhibition, make th...

Two different kinds of multi-span grape rain sheds are constructed and the wind field and rainfall field distribution are simulated based on CFD and computer simulation techniques. The airflow distribution, temperature variation, wind pressure distribution and rainfall vectors distribution are compared under two conditions with ventilated region and without ventilated area in multi-span grape r...

    Many studies have been performed for treatment or prevention of pulmonary fibrosis. However, no effective treatment has been found yet. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of grape seed extract on bleomycin-induced lung fibrosis in rat. Hydroalcoholic extract of grape seed (Vitis vinifera) was prepared using maceration method. NMRI rats weighing 250-300 g were given...

Vitis vinifera, known as the grapevine, is native to southern Europe and Western Asia. Grape seed and skin contain several active components including flavonoids, polyphenols, anthocyanins, proanthocyanidins, procyanidines, and the stilbene derivative resveratrol. Grape seed extract in particular has been reported to possess a broad spectrum of pharmacological and therapeutic effects such as an...

In astrophysics numerical star cluster simulations and hydrodynamical methods like SPH require computational performance in the petaflop range. The GRAPE-family of ASIC-based accelerators improves the cost-performance ratio compared to general purpose parallel computers, however with limited flexibility. The AHA-GRAPE architecture adds an reconfigurable FPGA-processor to accelerate the SPH comp...

• The concentration of anthocyanins in grape skins is a characteristic specific to each grape variety even if environmental and cultural factors play a role in determining the final amounts. Knowing the anthocyanin characteristics of grapes before harvest would allow the winemaker to choose the maceration regime best suited to maximize the potential of each incoming grape load. The initial goal...

several reports have shown the various effects of grape (vitis vinifera) seed extract such as antioxidant, hypotensive, hypolipidemic and vasodilatory effects. the aim of present study was to investigate the effect of grape leaf hydroalcoholic extract on isolated rat tracheal contractions induced by kcl and acetylcholine. the trachea was removed from male adult sprague-dawley rat and placed in ...
