“…Use value is an important index to identify the plant species which are extensively used among indigenous communities [117]. In our case, use values ranged from 0.02 to 0.93 (Table 2) [118], which can be attributed with the fact that they are the first choice of the traditional healers for the treatment of ailments and local inhabitants are familiar with these plants [58,119]. Species with low use values were, C. dolicostachya (0.02), E. persicus (0.04), P. repens (0.05), P. lanatum (0.06) and T. racemosus (0.06).…”

Plant species of the Poaceae family are not only used as fodder and forage but also contribute substantially to the treatment of various health disorders, particularly in livestock. Consequently, the present study was aimed to document the therapeutic uses of Poaceae practiced by the inhabitants of the Punjab Province for the treatment of various veterinary health disorders. Semi structured interviews, group discussion and field walks were conducted to collect the data. Quantitative indices including cultural significance index (CSI), relative frequency of citations (RFC), fidelity level (FL), relative popularity level (RPL), and Jaccard Index (JI) were used for the data analysis. Traditional uses of 149 species belonging to 60 genera and 16 tribes of 5 sub families of Poaceae were recorded. Whole plants and leaves were the most consistently used parts with 40.94 and 29.53%. The plants were mainly given orally as fodder (59 reports) without processing followed by decoction (35 reports). Most of the species were employed to treat infectious diseases (25.93%), and digestive disorders (14.10%). Triticum aestivum had the highest CSI, RFC and RPL levels at 8.00, 0.96, 1.00, respectively, followed by Oryza sativa and Poa annua. Likewise, T. aestivum and Saccharum spontaneum had 100% FL and ROP. Jaccard index ranged from 12.25 to 0.37. Twelve plant species namely Chrysopogon zizanioides (anti-inflammatory), Pennisetum lanatum (improve bull fertility), Cymbopogon citratus (glandular secretion), Sorghum saccharatum and Themeda triandra (malaria), Aristida funiculate (anticancer), Koeleria argentia (skin allergies), Tetrapogon villosus (antibacterial), Cynodon radiatus (eyes infection), Sporobolus nervosa (Jaundice), Enneapogon persicus (antifungal), and Panicum repens (dysfunctional cattle organs) were reported for the first time, with novel ethnoveterinary uses. The inhabitants of the study area had a strong association with their surrounding plant diversity and possessed significant knowledge on therapeutic uses of Poaceae to treat various health disorders in animals. Plant species with maximum cultural and medicinal

Background: Plant species of Poaceae family are not only used as fodder and forage but also contribute substantially in the treatment of various health disorders, particularly in livestock. Consequently, present study was aimed to document the therapeutic uses Poaceae taxa by the inhabitants of the Punjab Province to treat various veterinary health disorders. Methods: Semi structured interviews, group discussion and field walks were conducted to collected data. Furthermore, quantitative indices includingcultural significance index (CSI), relative frequency of citations (RFC), fidelity level (FL), and relative popularity level (RPL) andJaccard Index (JI) were adopted for data analysis. Results: Traditional uses of 149 plants belonging to 60 genera, 16 tribes of 5 sub families of Poaceae were recorded. Whole plant and leaves were the most consistent grazing parts with 40.94 and 29.53% contribution and decoction (35 reports) was the most preferred mode of administration. Majority of the plant species were employed to treat infectious diseases (25.93 %). and digestive disorders (14.10 %). Triticum aestivum depicted highest CSI, RFC and RPL levels at 8.00, 0.96, 1.00, respectively, followed by Oryza sativa and Poa annua . Likewise, T. aestivum and Saccharum spontaneum had 100 % FL and ROP. Jaccard index ranged from 12.25 to 0.37. Twelve plant species namely Chrysopogon zizanioides (anti-inflammatory), Pennisetum lansatum (improve bull fertility), Cymbopogon citratus (glandular secretion), Sorghum saccharatum and Themeda triandra (malaria), Aristida funiculate (anticancer) , Koeleria argentia (skin allergies), Tetrapogon villosus (antibacterial), Cynodon radiates (eyes infection), Sporobolus nervosa (Jaundice), Enneapogon persicus (antifungal), and Panicum repens (dysfunctional cattle organs) were reported for the first time with novelethnoveterinary uses. Conclusion: Inhabitants of the study area had strong association with surrounding plant biodiversity and possess significant knowledge on therapeutic uses of grasses and other members of Poaceae to treat various health disorders in animals. Plant species with maximum cultural and medicinal values could be a potential source of novel drugs to cure health disorders in animals and human as well.

“…MCC is a biodegradable, purified, white, odorless, fine, non-fibrous, and partially depolymerized crystalline powder, usually isolated from cellulose through the hydrolysis process. 17 However, no studies have reported on the effect of aging on the flexural properties of MCC-reinforced PMMA. The null hypothesis of this study was that after thermal cycling, there is no difference between the flexural properties of MCC-reinforced PMMA denture base resin compared to conventional PMMA.…”

Purpose To assess the impact of thermal cycling on flexural properties of denture base acrylic resin reinforced with microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) derived from oil palm empty fruit bunch (OPEFB). Materials and Methods The flexural strength and flexural modulus, following thermal cycling (5000 cycles of 5‐55°C) of 3 MCC‐reinforced poly methyl methacrylate (PMMA) specimens were compared with the conventional and commercially available high‐impact PMMA. The 3 test groups were represented by addition of various weight combinations of MCC and acrylic powders. Results All 3 test groups with the addition of MCC demonstrated improved flexural strength and flexural modulus compared to the conventional resin, without and after thermal cycling. The highest mean flexural strength corresponded to the specimens reinforced with 5% MCC followed by 2% MCC. Conclusion Addition of MCC derived from OPEFB to PMMA may be a viable alternative to the existing, commercially available synthetic reinforced PMMA resins. The potential application of natural fillers in the fabrication of a reinforced denture base resin needs further study.
