Epiphyllous plantlets develop on leaves of Bryophyllum marnierianum when they are excised from the plant. Shortly after leaf excision, plantlet shoots develop from primordia located near the leaf margin. After the shoots have enlarged for several days, roots appear at their base. In this investigation, factors regulating plantlet root development were studied. The auxin transport inhibitor 2,3,...

In this work we have investigated the effects of vitamins C and E on tumors via the mice xenotransplant model of sarcoma 180 (S180) in vivo. The experimental results suggest that dosages of 100 mg/kg vitamin C and 400 mg/kg vitamin E yields a great inhibitory behavior on tumors.

The extensibility of the stratum corneum depends on its water content and environmental temperature.1 The stratum corneum must contain more than 10% water to remain soft and pliable; when the water content dr...

Amish burn wound ointment (ABO) contains honey, lanolin, oils, glycerin, bees wax, and other natural additives. Although there are many anecdotal reports that this ointment covered with a burdock leaf (BL) dressing promotes burn wound healing, little scientific testing of this treatment has occurred. The goal of this study was to evaluate in vitro some of the components of this treatment modali...

Materials and Methods: In this systematic review, all clinical trial...

Nieft and Deuel (1, 2) found that in rat liver and intestinal mucosa two different opposing systems were responsible for the synthesis and hydrolysis of cholesterol esters. The esterifying system required the presence of phosphate ion and a fatty acid source. The hydrolytic system consisted of at least two factors and its activity was accentuated by soy bean lecithin. While their extracts were ...

1. By inoculating the scarified surface of both sides of the scrotum of rabbits with suspensions of Treponema pallidum, 100 per cent of infections were obtained on one side or the other. Infection through the unbroken skin could not be produced. 2. By gland transfers from animals with positive local inoculations, 87.5 per cent of takes were produced. 3. These two methods were used to test the p...
