“…Esse parâmetro fitossociológico indica a importância ecológica de uma determinada espécie dentre os indivíduos que compõem uma amostra de população florestal, além de ser um relevante instrumento nos planos de manejo e na categorização ecológica das espécies no povoamento florestal (SOUZA; SOARES, 2013;VIEIRA et al 2015).…”

RESUMOEm comunidades tradicionais e assentamentos rurais da Amazônia são comuns os processos de manejos com intuito de disponibilizar madeira para pequenas construções e diversos produtos florestais não madeireiros (PFNMs), como os frutos e plantas utilizadas na medicina popular. Sendo assim, objetivou-se descrever os aspectos florísticos e o potencial de utilização das espécies florestais de um fragmento de floresta ombrófila densa aluvial situada no estuário amazônico, Foz do Rio Mazagão, Estado do Amapá. Para conhecimento da estrutura florestal foram inventariadas 19 parcelas (3 ha de área total inventariada). Foram obtidos os dados dendrométricos como a altura total e circunferência, com nível de inclusão de circunferência à altura do peito (CAP) ≥ 30cm. Para avaliar o potencial de utilização madeireira, aplicou-se formulários para levantamento de informações socioeconômicas dos assentados, além da obtenção de informações na literatura existente sobre o assunto. A família com maior riqueza de espécies na amostragem total foi: Fabaceae com 17 espécies (26,15%). Dentre as espécies mais abundantes, a Mora paraensis (Ducke) Ducke (260), Pentaclethra macroloba (Willd.) Kuntze (104), Calycophyllum spruceanum (Benth.) Hook. f. ex K. Schum. (62) contribuíram com 426 indivíduos, 48,1% da densidade total amostrada. O H' para a área total foi de 2,959 nats/indivíduo, indicando que esse ambiente florestal apresenta diversidade florística compatível com o ecossistema de várzea. PALAVRAS -CHAVE: Etnoespécie, fitossociologia, manejo florestal.

“…O uso de etnoespécies pela população mundial tem sido muito significativo nos últimos anos (RIBEIRO et al, 2017). O etnoconhecimento dos povos que habitam as florestas pode servir para indicar novos usos de espécies existentes e usos para espécies previamente desconhecidas (OLIVEIRA et al, 2015).…”

“…Parasitic diseases infecting humans are important and serious health problems that result in significant effects on individuals and great economic and social costs (Akhoundi et al, 2013;Belkaid et al, 2002;Conceicao et al, 2016;Gutierrez et al, 2016;Mahmoudi et al, 2013;Petitdidier et al, 2016;Sacks and Perkins, 1984;Soares et al, 2017). Various herbal drugs are used for the treatment of parasitic diseases (dos Santos Silva, 2014;Oliveira et al, 2015;Tahir et al, 1998). Leishmaniasis is an important parasitic zoonotic disease in tropical areas, and is considered a neglected disease (Ndjonka et al, 2013).…”

Leishmaniasis is an important zoonotic parasitic disease in tropical areas. It is a neglected disease and is a great health catastrophe in Iran. Pentavalent antimony compounds are used for its treatment, but they have adverse effects. Therefore, the use of natural herbs with low adverse effects seems necessary for treatment of Leishmaniasis. In this study, we tried to introduce the natural medicines effective against Leishmaniasis. In this review study, keywords searched included natural medicines, herbal medicines, medicinal plants, Leishmaniasis, and treatment in relevant publications published between 1990 and 2017. Searching was on databases including ISI Web of Science, PubMed, PubMed Central, Scopus, ISC, SID, Magiran and some other databases. The relevant articles were reviewed for the review study. The results showed that medicinal plants: Ferula assafoatida (with IC50 of 0.38 mg/ml), Glycyrrhiza glabra (with IC50 of 25mg/ml), Allium sativum (with IC50 of 0.57 mg/ml), Cephalis ipecacuana (with IC50 of 0.01 mg/ml), Artemisia aucheri (with IC50 of 0.46 mg/ml) and Eucalyptus globulus (with IC50 of 0.17 mg/ml) were the natural medicines effective against the disease.

Introduction: Fruits Objective: In the present study, evaluation of mineral contents (Na, K, Ca, Mg, P, Fe, Zn, Ni, Mn, Co, Cu, Mo, Cr, Si and Al) from peel, pulp and seeds of guavira was carried out. Method:The peel, pulp and seeds of guavira were studied by ICP-OES with microwave digestion. The contents of the elements in the parts of the guavira, were compared to the Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA), values Adequate Intake (AI) and tolerable upper intake levels (ULs). Results:The results are considered in terms of the utility of the natural herbal medicaments as rich (Cu, P, Cr and Mo) or a source of minerals indispensable for proper functioning of the human organism. The concentration of elements in seeds, pulp and peel the guavira was compared with value of UL and does not cause toxicity. The concen-
