Abstract

Background: Jatropha multifida L. is a plant that commonly used as a traditional treatment espesciallyfor wounds. It has been proven that its sap had an antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus.Staphylococcus aureus has developed resistant strains named MRSA (Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcusaureus). Due to this resistance development, hopefully the sap of Jatropha multifida L. can also performedits antibacterial activity against MRSA. Objective: To determine the antibacterial activity of the sap ofJatropha multifida L. against Staphylococcus aureus and MRSA. Methods: A well-diffusion method wasperformed on several concentration: 100%, 50%, 25%, 12.5%, and 6.25%. From this method, the diameterof the inhibition zone produced by the sap was measured. Results: The average of inhibition zone diameterwere 11.29 - 16.00 mm for Staphylococcus aureus and the bigger zone 12.15 - 17.61 mm for MRSA.Conclusion:Jatropha multifida L. had antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and MRSA. Thisplant showed higher antibacterial activity on MRSA than Staphylococcus aureus.

Abstract

Background: Preterm labor is defined by the presence of painful uterine contractions that lead to progressivechanges in the cervix that allow descent and delivery of the newborn before the 37th week of gestation.Objective: To assess the predictive value of salivary estriol and Alpha feto protein in preterm delivery.Patients and Method: A prospective study were carried out in our hospital during the period from 1/1/2020to the 30/8/2020 among the patients who attended for consultation, 120 patients with gestational age between16 and 18 weeks were selected and divided into two groups. Results: The serum level of Alpha-feto proteinwas (338. 15 ± 182.55 in case group vs. 239. 68 ± 112. 51 in control group) with significant association(p=0.01). In spite of the decrease of the estriol level in preterm group we found no significant differenceswere found between both groups regarding the estriol level (P>0.05)Conclusion: The increase in free estriol in saliva in this study was not significantly associated with pretermdelivery in asymptomatic patients at risk, and there is a significantly increase in AFP concentration inpreterm pregnant patients.

Abstract

Background: Liver has an essential role in the metabolism of thyroid hormones. Disorders of thyroid hormones level causes’ abnormal liver function, so the liver function and thyroid hormones level affects each other. This study aim to investigate the effect of propolis (PR),carbimazole(CB), levothyroxine (TR) and their PR combinations on the liver biochemical and histopathological parameters in normal adult rats.Methods: Forty-two adult female albino rats randomized into six groups: control, PR, CB, TR, PR + CB and PR +TR. Rats orally treated by gavage for six weeks.Liver biochemical and histopathological analyses performed.Conclusion: TR in a dose of 0.1 µg/g daily for six weeks produced a significant elevation (p <0.001) in serum AST and ALT enzymes level compared to control in normal rats. CB dose of 0.01 mg/g displayed a significant increase in serum AST (p <0.005) and ALT (p <0.05) enzymes level compared to control. PR dose of 50 mg/kg produced a non - significant difference in liver enzymes level compared to control. Moreover, the rats treated with PR+TR or PR +CB combinations show a significant decrease in serum AST and ALT enzymes level compared to TR or CB alone groups. These results confirmed with a histopathological results to indicate a hepatoprotective effect of propolis.
