Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSerotonergic Properties of the Roots of Clerodendron capitatumSiddig Ibrahim Abdel Wahab, Abdel Wahab Hassan Mohamed, Osama Yousif Mohamed et al.The aim of this study is to investigate the pharmacological effects of the methanolic extract of Clerodendron capitatum, CC, (family verbenaceae). These investigations were carried out on isolated frog rectus abdominus muscle and rabbit aortic strips and jejunum and non-pregnant rat uterus pretreated with oestradiol. Results showed that CC did not demonstrate any contracting, relaxant or blocking effects on frog … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2008 · 7,847 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractValorization of Drinking Water Treatment Sludges as Raw Materials to Produce Concrete and MortarR.M. Ramirez Zamora, O. Ceron Alfaro, N. Cabirol et al.The purpose of this work was to assess the technical feasibility to valorize sludges, generated and stored at the Los Berros drinking water facility (PPLB), as raw material to produce building products (mortar and concrete) for the construction industry. The experimental study was divided into three stages: 1) sampling and characterization of PPLB sludges to determine their potential as raw … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 30 Jun 2008 · 7,578 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHormesis and Exercise: How the Cell Copes with Oxidative StressLi Li Ji, Zsolt Radak, Sataro GotoContraction-induced production of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species has been shown to cause oxidative stress to skeletal muscle, heart and other organs. As an adaptive response, muscle antioxidant defense systems are upregulated in response to exercise to restore intracellular prooxidantantioxidant homeostasis. Thus, both young and old animals and humans involved in regular exercise have shown reduced oxidative damage during acute … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 7,817 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInfluence of Helium-Neon Laser Photostimulation on Excision Wound Healing in Wistar RatsB. S. Nayak, A. Maiya, P. KumarThe importance of laser photostimulation is now accepted generally but the laser light facilitates wound healing and tissue repair remains poorly understood. So we have examined the hypothesis that the laser photo stimulation can enhances the collagen production in excision wounds using excision wound model in Wister rat model. The circular wounds were created on the dorsum of the back … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 31 Dec 2007 · 7,376 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCardiovascular Effect of Capparis spinosa Aqueous Extract. Part VI: in vitro Vasorelaxant EffectN. A. Zeggwagh, J. B. Michel, M. EddouksThe aim of this study was to investigate the in vitro vasorelaxanteffect of Capparis spinosa aqueous extract (CSAE) at a dose of 10 mg mL-1. Aortic rings isolated from normal wistar rats were used. The addition of CSAE during the plateau phase of contraction, induced by noradrenaline and KCl, produced a rapid relaxation. Incubation of aortic ring with CSAE during … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2007 · 7,444 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAbstract Fixed Points of Set-valued MappingsE. El. Shobaky, Sahar Mohamed Ali, Montaser S. AliWe defined new concept of complete sequences of equivalence relations on a given abstract set on which no topology is considered, the concept of contraction mappings with respect to these sequences, proved the existence of a fixed point of a multivalued and in particular single valued mappings T on the given abstract set. …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2007 · 6,691 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDynamic Solution Code for Structural Analysis upon Joint ElementS. A. Sadrnejad, M. LabibzadehThe analysis of large structures mostly requires a complete three dimensional finite element discretization. Stability of such structures includes not only the stability of structure itself but also that of foundation as well as interconnection elements. The general instability of a structure may be affected by two aspects, firstly, an inappropriate preliminary classical design of the structure and inadequate control … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 5 · 31 May 2006 · 6,442 accessesView PDFCite

In Moroccan traditional medicine, it is employed for the treatment of different illness and as an anxiolytic, analgesic or anti-inflammatory remedy. The purpose of this investigation was to assess the antioxidant, antinociceptive and anti-inflammatory effects of the ethanolic extract of Moroccan Lavandula stoechas L. in animal models. Therefore, in vitro anti-oxidant … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 21, Issue 4 · 15 Feb 2022 · 5,889 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPunicalagin Suppresses Mediators Involved in Labor Onset and Progression in vitroCaitlyn Nguyen-Ngo, Jane C Willcox, Martha LappasSpontaneous preterm birth is the leading cause of neonatal morbidity and mortality. Inflammation plays a central role in the activation of myometrial contractions and rupture of fetal membranes associated with spontaneous preterm birth. The pomegranate polyphenol punicalagin is known to possess anti-inflammatory properties. In this study, we aimed to determine the effect of punicalagin on pro-inflammatory and pro-labor mediators in … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 17, Issue 1 · 22 Dec 2021 · 7,609 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFinancial Development and Economic Growth in Nepal: New intuitions from a Time Series Causality MethodUttam Paudel, Satish Chandra Bhatta, Umesh KhatriGeneralized empirical evidences about impact and direction of causality between financial development and economic growth ignoring the differences of structure and other factors seem less effective to understand the contributions of financial as well as real sector development to economic growth by country specific factors in Nepal.
