“…According to the patient's symptoms, the use of drugs that promote gastrointestinal motility can increase bowel movement and defecation frequency, thereby alleviating the symptoms of constipation. Discouragingly, the symptoms of constipation would reoccur after drug withdrawal, emanating a somber effect [ 5 – 7 ]. Previous studies have shown that TCM emphasizes dialectical treatment and produces satisfying results in the treatment of diabetic constipation [ 7 , 8 ].…”

Objective. This study aimed to study the clinical efficacy of Qibin Tongbian decoction in the treatment of diabetic constipation and its influence on the intestinal environment and the incidence of adverse reactions. Methods. In this prospective study, a total of 62 patients with diabetic constipation admitted to our hospital from June 2020 to March 2021 were recruited and assigned at a ratio of 1 : 1 to receive either traditional treatment (control group) or Qibin Tongbian decoction (experimental group). Outcome measures included clinical efficacy, intestinal environment, and incidence of adverse reactions. Results. Qibin Tongbian decoction was associated with significantly higher efficacy and a lower TCM symptom score versus conventional treatment ( P < 0.05 ). Qibin Tongbian decoction resulted in significantly lower fasting plasma glucose (FPG) levels and 2-hour postprandial plasma glucose (2hPG) levels versus conventional treatment ( P < 0.05 ). Patients receiving Qibin Tongbian decoction showed significantly lower constipation symptom scores and PAC-QOL scores versus conventional treatment ( P < 0.05 ). Qibin Tongbian decoction resulted in a significantly larger number of bifidobacteria and enterococci and a smaller number of yeasts versus conventional treatment ( P < 0.05 ). Qibin Tongbian decoction was associated with a significantly lower incidence of adverse reactions and recurrence rate versus conventional treatment ( P < 0.05 ). Conclusion. Qibin Tongbian decoction combined with conventional TCM therapy yields a promising effect in the treatment of diabetic constipation. It can improve the intestinal environment of patients, mitigate the symptoms of constipation, enhance the quality of life of patients, and reduce the incidence of adverse reactions, so it is worthy of promotion and application.

“…Topical treatment of C. titillator larvae with dilutions of the essential oil of C. rotundus produced 100% mortality at concentrations of 50µl/ml and above 48 hrs after treatment. Bajpay et al [45] demonstrated that C. rotundus has a wide range of medicinal, insecticidal properties and pharmacological applications to treat diseases.…”

C ephalopina titillator (C. titillator) [Clark, Diptera: Oestridae] only attacks camels and damage tissues causing economic losses and reduction of fertility. The present work evaluated two common essential plant oils from Cyperusrotundus (C. rotundus) (Cyperaceae) and Zingiber officinale (Z .officinale) (Zingiberaceae), which are considered ecofriendly and have the ability to kill larvae. Scanning electron microscopic examinations were done to demonstrate alterations of the respiratory spiracles after exposure to the essential oils. Three different concentrations 30, 50, 100 µl/ml of oils in distilled water were prepared. Few drops of Tween 80 were added as an emulsifier to the used essential oils. Five 3 rd instar larvae were used in each treatment then dipping procedure was applied five times. Each group of larvae was immersed for 60s in each dilution for each oil and the solution was continuously stirred. Dead larvae were counted after 24 hrs. Samples of treated and control larvae were fixed for Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). The essential oils were very toxic to C. titillator larvae. Results of dipping bioassays showed that mortality of treated larvae was concentration-dependent. At the 100µl/ml concentration, there was 100% mortality of larvaefor both oils. The posterior spiracles were damaged and showed severe distortion of both lips. C. rotundus and Z. officinale oils have great potential to be developed as a novel larvicidea gainst C. titillator larvae and they could be used as nasal drench .They may be an effective, inexpensive control for this pest.

“…In another study by Eltayeib and Um-Ismaeel (2014), it was reported that the yield of three samples of oils from Bano, Elobeid, and Elrahad Areas-North Kordofan State of Sudan were 2.9, 0.6, and 1.8 (w/w), respectively [14]. Moreover, Bajpay et al (2018) and Al-Snafi (2016) from India and Iraq both found that C. rotundus rhizomes have 0.19% essential oils [15,16]. El-Gohary (2004) reported that two samples of C. rotundus rhizomes from Egypt have oils of 0.46 and 0.19% [17].…”

Cockroaches are among the most adaptive creatures to the environment; they dwell on the earth's surface for the past millions of years. The presence of cockroaches is posing serious health issues in many countries of the world. Searching for an effective natural repellent agent has become a highly important attempt to control these insects. Hence, this study aimed to evaluate the chemical compositions of essential oil from Sudanese Cyperus rotundus rhizomes and determine their repellent activity against American cockroaches (Periplaneta americana). The obtained essential oil was radish yellow in color, the oil content was 0.73% and forty-four constituents were identified. The most major components were: Isolongifolol (7.63%), longiverbenone (5.61%), β-cadinene (5.54%), and longifolenaldehyde (5.16%). The oil was characterized by sesquiterpenes abundance 52.45% (oxygenated sesquiterpenes 30.72% and sesquiterpenes hydrocarbons 21.73%); whereas, monoterpenes comprised 8.43% (oxygenated monoterpenes 6.81%, and monoterpenes hydrocarbons 1.62%). The experiment showed that the essential oil possesses promising results as a repellent against P. americana. Therefore, conducting more research on isolation, identification of active compounds and extensive tests on other types of cockroaches are priorities in future studies.
