“…Cissus hastata, commonly known as Semperai, is widely distributed in Southeast Asian countries, such as the Philippines, Myanmar, Vietnam, Brunei, Thailand, and Malaysia and is also found in the east coast of Australia [5]. The leaves are lanceolate shaped that narrow to a reddish pointy tip with the average width and length of 2-15.5 cm and 1.5-8 cm, respectively [6]. This indigenous vegetation is a prolific climbing plant with long flexible red tendrils, scrambling around other low vegetation and high branches of trees.…”

Plant extracts of Cissus hastata, indigenously known as Semperai, have been used as an effective traditional remedy against coughs. Recently, the leaf extract was potentially shown to have anti-hemorrhoid activity, although there is a lack of scientific data due to its folklore usage. Hence, the therapeutic properties of the phytochemicals and metabolites of Semperai remain elusive. Therefore, this study aims to determine the total phenolic content and phytochemical compounds of the plant leaf extract. Total phenolic content and antioxidant activity were determined by the Folin–Ciocalteau method and the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) method, respectively. Phytochemical compounds present in the leaf methanol extract were analyzed by a qualitative method. Results showed the extract comprised a total of 21.3 mg GAE/g of phenolic content with reference to gallic acid. The antioxidant activity was almost absence with an IC50 of 7.80 µg/mL when compared to trolox and gallic acid. Presence of the red to orange precipitate in reference to gallic acid indicate alkaloid content, while the appearance of black-blue/green color in reference to gallic acid are referred to as tannins. The steroids were represented by an upper red layer and a yellowish sulfuric acid with green fluorescence in comparison to cholesterol. Nonetheless, saponin was not detected in the extract, as indicated by the absence of the persisting foam in the test solution when compared with sodium dodecyl sulphate. In conclusion, despite not having an antioxidant property, the methanol extract of Semperai comprised a fair amount of phenolic compounds, including tannins, alkaloids, and steroids, which, potentially, are highly anti-inflammatory towards hemorrhoids.

“…Grapes are most widely grown fruit crop. The grape is a member of the Vitaceae commonly called the grape family, Vitis contains around 60 species, plus some natural interspecific hybrids, and they are mostly distributed in temperate areas throughout the world (Mebberely 1987;Lombardi et al 2007;Najmaddin et al 2013). The grapes are one of the most important produce from the enological and economical point of view in the Anatolia.…”

Pollen is an important morphological parameter for cultivar identification. This is of great importance in detailed investigations by scanning electron microscope (SEM). In this study, the pollen morphology of selected grape cultivars was examined by SEM. The pollen length, width, P/E ratio of pollen and features of surface were observed. The pollen differed in some microstructural characteristic. Pollen width exhibited significant according to the varieties (10.12-22.44 µm). Similarly, the statistical difference occurred among the thirty Vitis cultivars in terms of mean pollen length (16.26-29.65 µm). Areolat pollen was determined in some cultivars. Depending on the cultivars there was significant differences in terms of pores diameter. According to PCA performed in 30 grape cultivars, 3 principal components were revealed and they defined 94.98% of the variance. Cultivars were divided into groups according to pollen features on the cluster. Consequently, the cultivars were categorized under two main groups. The present research is a contribution to a more detailed analysis of grapevine cultivars.

Systemic inflammation is a complex syndrome in terms of its significance for the body. Systemic inflammation may be part of the pathogenesis of traumatic brain injury. Purpose of the study: Purpose of the study: Structural and functional characteristics of the experimental root of the left lung in systemic inflammation and traumatic brain injury. Materials and methods. To reproduce traumatic brain injury, a modified weight-drop model was used. Albino rats were studied experimental animals. To inflict injury, a device with a load (weight 200 g) was used, which falls from a height of 1 m onto the parietal region of the animal's head. For the study of experimental fever, the animals were injected intramuscularly with the pharmacopoeial form of LPS pyrogenal solution. Results. A morphological and histochemical study of the caudal lobar bronchus of the left lung of rats was carried out. The average height of the bronchial epithelium of the caudal lobar bronchus of the left lung most significantly and significantly decreases with a combination of traumatic brain injury and systemic inflammation. The bronchial epithelium retains its cilia. With the combination of SI and traumatic brain injury on the 6th day, argentophilia and an increase in the size of the nucleoli of the bronchial epithelium significantly increase. Argyrophilia of connective tissue fibers is revealed. Conclusion. With a combination of traumatic brain injury and systemic inflammation, the most informative changes in the content of mast cells are at the point of contact of the adventitial membrane of the caudal lobar bronchus of the left lung of the rat with the adventitial membrane of the caudal lobar vein of the left lung. Mastocytes localized at the site of contact between the adventitial membranes of lobe bronchus and lobe vien remain an insufficiently studied cell population of this differ on in both humans an rat. Thus, it is revealed that the pathogenesis of systemic inflammation combined with craniocerebral injury may involve dystrophically altered bronchial epithelium of the lobar bronchi, and mast cells of the adventitia of the lobar pulmonary veins.
