In the present study, cardioprotective effect of Cornus mas fruits extract (CMFE) was evaluated in a rat model having acute cardiotoxicity, induced by single dose of carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) (1ml/kg i.p.). Pre and post treatment of C. mas fruit extract (300 and 700mg/kg) in CCl4-treated rats significantly decreased the increased levels of serum lactate dehydrogenase, serum creatine kinase an...

The [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]-approximation schemes are introduced to approximate the popular generalized Cornu spirals with the help of the parametric rational cubic trigonometric Bézier curves. The [Formula: see text]-approximation scheme has two free parameters whereas [Formula: see text]-approximation scheme has four free parameters. To approximate the generalized Cornu sp...

During the XXth century, the evolution of histology in Romania was marked by different personalities. The aim of our paper is to present a parallel between two Professors of Histology: Alexandru Tupa (1886-1956) and Cornel Crisan (1895-1958) - who were contemporaries. Thus, we bring a homage to their memory, because in 2016 was the anniversary of 130 years since the birth of Al. Tupa and in 201...

Twelve new tirucallane triterpenoids, named cornusalterins A-L (1-12), and two known tirucallane triterpenoids, deoxyflindissone (13) and (-)-leucophyllone (14), were isolated from a MeOH extract of stems and stem bark of Cornus walteri. The structures of the new compounds were determined by spectroscopic methods, including 1D and 2D NMR analyses. Compounds 12 and 13, possessing a tetrahydrofur...

Cornus species fruits are well known as a rich source of antioxidant compounds responsible for their diverse health benefits. The present study aims to investigate the variation of the total antioxidant capacity of Cornelian cherry (Cornus mas L.) fruits during storage, using high-performance thin-layer chromatography (HPTLC) and two spectrophotometric assays based on different mechanisms: the ...
