Abstract: Moringa oleifera Lam. is known by an array of names like ben oil tree, drumstick tree, horseradish tree etc. It is a multipurpose tree having nutritional, medicinal and socioeconomic connotations. It is affluent in healthy bioactive plant compounds. The present study was carried out to investigate the possible bioactive components and examine the physicochemical properties of the ethanol extract of leaves of Moringa oleifera which were extracted using the soxhlet extraction method. Thirteen chemical constituents were identified in the leaf extract. From the qualitative investigation several bioactive components like Flavonoids, Alkaloids, Tannins, Phenolic compounds, Quinine, Anthraquinones, Coumarin, Tannin, Fixed oil, and fats, Steroid-glycosides and Saponins were detected. Specific physicochemical properties of Moringa leaves were examined quantitatively. Extractions were done with ethanol and distilled water as solvents.........

Abstract: Epilepsy is a gathering of neurological issues portrayed by epileptic seizures. Epileptic seizures are scenes that can fluctuate from brief and almost imperceptible to extensive stretches of overwhelming shaking. The present study was proposed to evaluate the antiepileptic activity of ethanolic extract of Phoenix dactylifera& Litchi chinensis, which is assessed by invivo screening models namely, Maximal electro-shock induced seizures in mice and PTZ induced seizures in rats. Seizures were produced in rats and mice by giving electroshock (12 mA, 50 Hz for 0.2 s) in rats and PTZ 1mg/kg b.wi.p for 8 consecutive days. Oral dosing of E.E.P.D, E.E.L.C & E.E.P.D+E.E.L.C modified behavior and also changed their neurochemical estimate. This is determined by monitoring parameters such as disappearance of hind limb extension during epileptic....

Abstract: Purpose: To investigate the analgesic activity of the etahanolic extract of Chonemorpha fragrans and Cynometra ramiflora leaves in rats. Methods: Hot plate, radiant source and acetic acid were used to induce pain in Wistar rats and Swiss Albino mice which were divided into six groups. The animal groups were thereafter administered CFEE (200 mg/kg), CREE (200 mg/kg), CFEE+CREE (200mg/kg) Aspirin (reference standard, 100 mg/kg) and normal saline (control), respectively. The pain was measured by observing the behavioral changes in rats like Licking of paw in case of Eddys Hopt Plate Method, Flicking of tail in Radiant Heat Method and Contractions of abdomen in Acetic acid induced Writhing. over a period of 2-3h. CFEE & CREE were also phytochemically screened for alkaloids, steroids, carbohydrates, tannins, fixed oils, proteins, triterpenoids, deoxy-sugar, flavonoid, cyanogenetic and coumarin glycosides.....

Abstract: The in-utero exposure to carbamazepine, an anticonvulsant medicine has been shown to perturb the normal morphogenesis of the fetal brain when used in management of maternal conditions. However, the anatomical histomomphological teratogenic effects on quantitative histostereological effects when exposed at different gestation periods and at different doses is not well elucidated. The broad objective of this study was therefore to evaluate the histostereological teratogenic effects of exposure to various doses of carbamazepine on the development of fetal brain when exposed at different gestation periods.
Materials and methods: In conducting the study, a static group experimental study design was adopted. The animal experimentation was carried out at Small Animal Facility for Research and Innovation (SAFARI) animal house while tissue processing for histology and stereological analysis was done in the department of human anatomy......

Abstract: This experiment was set to find out the suitable size of shell image for better quality image pearl by inserting different size of shell image in freshwater mussels. A total of six hundred mussels (Lamellidens marginalis) reared at BFRI pond complex from October 2017 to May 2018 were operated with shell made image of different size (T1- 3×1.5cm2, T2 -2.5×1.5cm2, T3 -2×1.5cm2, and T4-1.5×1.5cm2). Only one shell made image was inoculated in each of the 600 mussels (Lamellidens marginalis). Operated mussels were stocked at 80/decimal and cultured with four treatments. Physicochemical parameters (temperature, DO, alkalinity, pH, ammonia, calcium ion, phytoplankton....

Abstract: The work analyzes the effect of laser irradiation on the similarity and growth indicators of the serpentine. The effect of laser irradiation of seeds with red and blue light on the growth parameters of Dracocephalum moldavica L. has been determined. The experiments used LED lasers characterized by coherent monochromatic radiation of red (635 nM) and blue (405 nM) light with a radiation capacity of 100 mW. As a result of the research, it was found that laser irradiation of seeds increased germination depending on the regime by 18.1-36.4 % compared to non-irradiated seeds. In 1.7-3.4 rad increased the number of plants that survived in experimental variants compared to control......

Abstract: The leaves of Psydrax dicoccos, was made free from the adherent foreign material and air dried. percolated with ethanol, petroleum ether and water in a suxlate extract until the suxlet tube shown transparent liquid. obtained extracts were kept in a desiccator to remove moisture and stored properly until used. The result of the present investigation that the Psydrax decoccos which possesses antiulcer activity in aspirin induced, histamine induced. Depression reduces gastric mucosal blood flow and gastric motility which leads to mucosal damage.
