  • An Overview of Medicinal Plants As Potential Anti-Platelet Agents
    IOSR Journal of Pharmacy and Biological Sciences (IOSR-JPBS) e-ISSN:2278-3008, p-ISSN:2319-7676. Volume 12, Issue 1 Ver. IV (Jan. - Feb.2017), PP 17-20 www.iosrjournals.org An Overview of Medicinal Plants as Potential Anti-Platelet Agents Mridul Bhowal1, Darshika M Mehta2 1B Pharm, PES College of Pharmacy, 50 feet road, Hanumanthanagar, Bengaluru-560050, Karnataka, India 2UG Scholar, PES College of Pharmacy, 50 feet road, Hanumanthanagar, Bengaluru-560050, Karnataka, India Abstract: Anti-platelet agents are those that decrease platelet aggregation and inhibit thrombus formation. Anti-platelet drugs are used to prevent and help in the reversal of platelet aggregation in arterial thrombosis which is the principal reason in the pathology of myocardial infarction (MI) and ischemic stroke. Currently many synthetic and semi-synthetic formulations are available in the markets which are potent anti-platelet agents but they have significant adverse effects. Herbs have been always an ideal source of drugs and numerous of the presently available drugs have been obtained directly or indirectly from them. In this article, authors made an extensive literature study about the work carried out on herbs with anti-platelet activity and their bioactive constituent. Here, an attempt was made to elaborate the isolated constituents from plant origin, which showed promising activity as anti-platelet agent. Keywords: Anti-platelet, Constituents, Extracts, Herbs, Medicinal Plants I. Introduction Platelets play an essential role in the initial response to vascular injury [1]. Its activation leads to formation of a haemostatic plug at the site of injury. Activation of platelets is therefore crucial for normal haemostasis but, uncontrolled platelet activation may also lead to the formation of occlusive thrombi that can cause ischemic events [2] and thus, anti-platelet therapy is very much needed for treatment.

The CLI is an evaluated inventory of all landscapes having historical significance that are listed on or eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places, or are otherwise managed as cultural resources through a public planning process and in which the NPS has or plans to acquire any legal interest. The CLI identifies and documents each landscape’s location, size, physical development, condition, landscape characteristics, character-defining features, as well as other valuable information useful to park management. Cultural landscapes become approved CLIs when concurrence with the findings is obtained from the park superintendent and all required data fields are entered into a national

Although this year has thrown many obstacles our way, we feel that the “show must go on.” In response to the COVID-19 situation, this year will look a little different. For the safety of our members and our customers, this year will be an online pre-order only sale. Our mission stays the same: to support our community’s green spaces, and to educate our community in the areas of gardening, horticulture, conservation, and related topics. GCH members serve as volunteers, and our profits from the Bulb Mart are given back to WELCOME the community in support of our mission. In the last fifteen years, we have given back over $3.5 million in grants to the community! The Garden Club of Houston’s first Plant Sale was held in 1942, on the steps of The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, with plants dug from members’ gardens. Plants propagated from our own members’ yards will be available again this year as well as plants and bulbs sourced from near and far that are unique, interesting, and well suited for area gardens.

  • Groundwater Vulnerability and Risk Assessment in a Karst Aquifer of Greece Using EPIK Method
    environments Article Groundwater Vulnerability and Risk Assessment in A Karst Aquifer of Greece Using EPIK Method Anastasia Vogelbacher 1,*, Nerantzis Kazakis 2 , Konstantinos Voudouris 2 and Steffen Bold 1 1 Department of Water Resource Management, University of Applied Forest Sciences Rottenburg, 72108 Rottenburg, Germany; [email protected] 2 Laboratory of Engineering Geology & Hydrogeology, Department of Geology, Aristotle University, GR54124 Thessaloniki, Greece; [email protected] (N.K.); [email protected] (K.V.) * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 16 July 2019; Accepted: 29 October 2019; Published: 31 October 2019 Abstract: The aim of this study was the assessment of groundwater vulnerability and pollution risk of the Perivleptos karst aquifer in the northwestern part of Greece. Hence, the EPIK method has been applied within the study area. Additionally, a detailed literature overview has been obtained, including the worldwide application of the EPIK method. The hazard map has been developed for the implementation of risk assessment. The resulting vulnerability map was divided into four classes and showed especially high to very high vulnerability. The subsequent hazard assessment has shown mostly low to moderate endangerment for the northern part of the study area, which is mainly covered by forest, while the areas covered by urban and industrial, as well as agricultural land, use primarily show high to very high endangerment. Concluding in the risk map, the study area consists of 13% of very high, 48% of high, 36% of moderate and 4% of low risk of contamination. According to the literature overview, the EPIK method was mostly used in combination with other vulnerability assessment methods, and results have been validated through tracer tests, sensitivity analysis or comparing to other methods.

  • Seismicity and Seismotectonics in Epirus, Western Greece: Results from a Microearthquake Survey
    Bulletin of the Seismological Society of America, Vol. 96, No. 5, pp. 1706–1717, October 2006, doi: 10.1785/0120020086 Seismicity and Seismotectonics in Epirus, Western Greece: Results from a Microearthquake Survey by G-Akis Tselentis, Efthimios Sokos, Nikos Martakis, and Anna Serpetsidaki Abstract During a twelve-month passive tomography experiment in Epirus, in northwestern Greece, a total of 1368 microearthquakes were located. The most accu- rately located events and focal mechanisms are used here to understand the seismo- tectonics of the area. The seismicity shows a clear association with the main, previously defined deformation zones. A total of 434 well-defined focal mechanisms were also used for the determination of the stress pattern in the area. The computed stress-field pattern is quite complex close to the surface and almost homogeneous at depths below 15 km. For these depths, the stress field is purely compressional in a west-southwest direction, whereas for shallow depths it is transpressional or even extensional for some smaller areas. The abrupt change in the stress pattern, which occurs as depth increases, suggests the existence of a detachment surface, which is provided by the evaporites that have intruded into the upper layers through the thrust zones. The presence of the evaporites and their lateral extent is mapped by the seismicity distribution and con- firmed by seismic tomography. Based on the findings, we estimate a possible total evaporite thickness of almost 10 km at least for the central part of the study area. Such a result is important for the oil exploration efforts that have just started in Epirus.

  • Peucedanum Ostruthium Inhibits E-Selectin and VCAM-1 Expression in Endothelial Cells Through Interference with NF-Κb Signaling

One third of the tested extracts showed in vitro inhibitory effects comparable to the positive control oxozeaenol, an inhibitor of TAK1. Among them, the extract derived from the roots and rhizomes of Peucedanum ostruthium (i.e., Radix Imperatoriae), also known as masterwort, showed a pronounced and dose-dependent inhibitory effect. Reporter gene analysis demonstrated that inhibition takes place on the transcriptional level and involves the transcription factor NF-κB. A more detailed analysis revealed that the P. ostruthium extract (PO) affected the phosphorylation, degradation, and resynthesis of IκBα, the activation of IKKs, and the nuclear translocation of the NF-κB subunit RelA.
