Acne is a common skin condition with sebum overproduction, hyperkeratosis, Propionibacterium acnes (P. acnes) and Staphylococcus aureus, and inflammation. Punica granatum (pomegranate) is well-known for its anti-inflammatory effects; however, few studies have discussed the anti-acne effects of pomegranate. In this study, we found that pomegranate extract (PG-E) significantly reduced P. acnes-in...

We discuss some geometric problems related to the definitions of quasilocal mass proposed by Brown-York [5] [6] and Liu-Yau [13] [14]. Our discussion consists of three parts. In the first part, we propose a new variational problem on compact manifolds with boundary, which is motivated by the study of Brown-York mass. We prove that critical points of this variation problem are exactly static met...

Natural indexing is an application-oriented description method for nite element meshes. This work describes how the main parts of an adaptive multilevel method for linear triangular nite element methods can be expressed within the framework of natural indexing. Particular emphasis is on the expression of operations that involve hierarchies of meshes such as adaptive re nement, hierarchic coarse...

Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the anthelmintic activity pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) peel decoction against Taenia saginata.
 Methods: in vitro assay conducted by observing motility T. saginata, which is isolated from cattle’s gastrointestinal tract, various concentrations with albendazole as a positive control.
 Results: results showed that dependent on ...

Traditional medicine was becoming more popular as a component of complementary and alternative around the world. The ability to provide information on pharmacological effects plants requires thorough understanding chemical components found in plants. One compounds reported having activity punicalagin. Punicalagin polyphenol compound Punica granatum, Lafoensia pacari, genus Terminalia. This revi...

The Coruh Valley, located in Northeastern Turkey, is one of the most important centers of diversity in pomegranate in Turkey. In this study, we attempted to characterize 19 promising pomegranate genotypes originating from the Coruh Valley in using fluorescent dye AFLP markers and capillary electrophoresis. Four AFLP primer combinations were used, generating a total of 297 fragments, 213 of whic...

The search for new substances with antimicrobial properties has become necessary due to the microbial capacity of resistance. Medicinal plants have become an important substitute since many plants exhibit antimicrobial activity. In this study, the ethanolic flower extracts of Punica granatum were assessed for their phytoconstituents and the antimicrobial property. A total of 21 microorganisms (...
