Abstract:

For thousands of years the practice of traditional medicine has been effective in the treatment of various infections using the plants and herbs that have been found and used locally with little or no adverse effects reported . One such documented system is that of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) which is underlain by an artistic philosophy and supported by a wealth of anecdotal evidence of curative effect on human ailments. Many traditional medicinal plants have now been subjected to scientific based antiviral studies with their antiviral action being evaluated against both human and anima

Abstract:

The active antimalarial principles of three traditional medicinal plants, Passerina obtusifolia (Thymelaeaceae), Tetradenia riparia (Labiatea) and Xerophyta retinervis (V elloziaceae) were investigated by employing bioassay guided fractionation. Two novel compounds and five known constituents were isolated from the active fractions of these three plants. The types of compounds isolated included: three triterpenoids (20(29)-Lupene-3α,28- diol (30), 20(29)-Lupene-3α, 16β,28-triol (32) and 3β-Hydroxy-20(29)-Lupen-28-oic acid (42)); two diterpenoids (8-Abietene-7 β,13 β -diol (45) and cariocal (51

This thesis evaluated traditional medicines used by the Cree First Nation of Eeyou Istchee (James Bay Region, Quebec, Canada) for safety and efficacy in the context of Type 2 diabetes and Alzheimer’s disease. Drug metabolism and absorption were evaluated using whole cell in vitro models: human liver microsomes and Caco-2 permeability assays, respectively. It was found that the 17 medicinal plant extracts had an effect on the cytochrome P450-mediated metabolism of one co-administered conventional antidiabetic therapy, repaglinide, while having no effect on another, gliclazide.

Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior<br>This dissertation aims to study the villages of Bom Jardim and Mundês. The two villages are located in the vicinity of the National Park of Itabaiana / SE. The study was motivated by an interest in investigating the process of (de / re) construct of socio-cultural characteristics among young people about traditional knowledge regarding the use of medicinal plants for treating common sickness of everyday life. The main variable under investigation is the involvement of health workers in villages, through which western medicine can c

Abstract:

The post-harvest physiology of nine frequently used indigenous southern African medicinal plants was investigated, in particular the effects of storage time and accelerated ageing on the biological activity and chemical constituents of these plants. Water, ethanol and hexane extracts of fresh plant material as well as material that had been stored in dry form in paper bags at room temperature for 90 days (short-term) were tested. Three bioassays, the COX-1 anti-inflammatory assay, nematode anthelmintic assay and minimum inhibitory concentration anti-bacterial assay, were used to determine biol

Abstract:

銀屑病是一種慢性炎症性皮膚病，其發病率約佔全球1-3%的人口。銀屑病的病理特徵包括角質細胞增殖和分化異常，同時伴隨炎症反應，白細胞聚集於真皮和表皮以及血管擴張。證據顯示角質細胞能參與及延續免疫反應，以達致維持或促進該病的作用。研究亦建議角質細胞減少凋亡是引致銀屑病的一個特定現象；因此，長期以來誘導角質細胞凋亡就被用作為治療銀屑病的一種有效策略。<br>根據銀屑病的嚴重程度，治療方法可分為三級：外用藥物主要用於比較輕微的病患，而光療適合中等程度的病患；對於嚴重病例則可使用系統性治療或生物製劑。基於大約75%的銀屑病患者屬於輕微至中度病患，外用藥物是目前應用最為廣泛的治療方法。在中國銀屑病治療的歷史中曾經使用過中草藥，研究亦表明，其治療機制可能通過抑制角質細胞增殖和誘導角質細胞凋亡。比較研究也指出，傳統中藥比西藥的副作用相對較少，及具有較長的舒緩期和較低的復發率。<br>我們先前的研究發現，茜草根提取物能夠抑制一個和銀屑病相關的HaCaT角質細胞增殖。本研究證實，茜草根的乙酸乙酯提取物（EA）能誘導HaCaT細胞凋亡，其抑制角質細胞增殖的作用比茜草根的乙醇提取物（EE）更為有效，並可和一個流行於歐洲國家的重要外用銀屑病治療藥地蒽酚相比。另外，透過不同的檢測，包括形態學觀察，細胞凋亡雙染（磷脂結合蛋白V-碘化丙啶）分析，細胞週期分析，去氧核醣核酸斷裂測試，原位末端轉移酶標記技術，免疫熒光

Abstract:

For centuries Traditional Health Practitioners (THPs) used their indigenous knowledge (IK) in conserving medicinal plants and environments to maintain sustainability. With the rapid environmental, social, economic and political changes occurring in many areas inhabited by rural people exist the danger that the loss of biodiversity from habitat destruction and unsustainable harvesting practices will result in some species becoming extinct. The main aim of the study was to determine the natural habitat of extinction-prone traditional medicinal plants combining the insight of THPs with an ult
