“…The plant is ornamental. Its parts, especially the above-ground shoots, are used for medicinal purposes (Colalto, 2020). They contain cardiac glycosides, including adonitoxin, cymarin, K-strophanthin-β, acetyladonitoxin, adonitoxol, vernadigine, and others.…”

The article presents the results of a study on the content and dynamics of the accumulation of biogenic elements and brassinolides in plants of Adonis vernalis, Allium ursinum, and Leucojum vernum in Kyiv, Ukraine. Data is provided on allelopathic activity, content of macro- and microelements, phenolic compounds, and laccase activity in plants and the rhizosphere soil under the conditions of the M.M. Gryshko National Botanical Garden of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine (NBG). The plants from the collection of the NBG were used as objects of study in field experiments. The content of biogenic elements in plant tissues and soil was analyzed using an inductively coupled plasma spectrometer. The allelopathic analysis of soil was conducted using a direct bioassay method with Lepidium sativum seedlings as the test object. Phenolic compounds were extracted from the soil using the ion exchange (desorption) method. The content of brassinosteroids was measured spectrophotometrically at a wavelength of 450 nm. The content of laccase was measured spectrophotometrically at a wavelength of 530 nm.The results demonstrate that model plant species employ a wide range of physiological mechanisms throughout the vegetation period to enhance their resistance to abiotic factors. These mechanisms include maintaining potassium and calcium balance and utilizing hormonal compounds. Plants have been proven to have compensatory mechanisms in response to stress factors, substituting one biochemical marker of resistance with another. Both, brassinosteroids and silicon, contribute to the adaptive capacity of organisms.

“…Homeopathy is the fourth specific complementary medicine after acupuncture, physiotherapy, and traditional indigenous medicine. It is defined as any homeopathic medicine, as any medicine prepared from substances called homeopathic stocks according to a homeopathic manufacturing procedure described by the European Union [23] . The principle of similar proposed by Dr. Hahnemann, tries to select treatments trying to match the symptoms of drugs with the symptoms in sick patients, it is to create a cure with the same disease [24] .…”

Antiseptic agents are used as an adjunctive tool in periodontal therapy, to prevent infection, better plaque removal, as well as preoperative cleaning of the surgical site, and postoperative use. Chlorhexidine is considered a good antiseptic agent, but it has several important adverse health effects if not used correctly by the patient. The objectives of this review are: a) To understand the different antiseptics that exist, b) To determine the adverse effects of chlorhexidine, c) To compare the effects of antiseptics in different studies.

Safety assessment of homeopathic medicines

Abstract: Regulatory agencies have to ensure the end-user safety of botanically derived homeopathic medicines prepared with diluted starting materials derived even from toxic plants. In the case of plant-derived homeopathic products, assessment must
