Rhamnus prinoides leaf extract loaded polycaprolactone-cellulose acetate nanofibrous scaffold as potential wound dressing: An in vitro study.

Rhamnus prinoides leaf contains carbohydrates, saccharides, phenolic acids, and diterpenes with antibacterial, wound-healing, and anti-inflammatory properties. In this study, Rhamnus prinoides leaf extract was successfully incorporated into polycaprolactone-cellulose acetate (PCL-CA) nanofibers through electrospinning technique for the first time. The mats' morphology, diameter, chemical, and crystalline structure were characterized.

Psoralen Isolated from the Roots of Welw. Modulate Th1/Th2 Cytokines and Inflammatory Enzymes in LPS-Stimulated RAW 264.7 Macrophages.

is a widely used plant spice in traditional African medicine to treat pain-related conditions. However, the anti-inflammatory mechanisms underlying this activity and the main active ingredients of have not yet been fully characterized. This study aimed to isolate and identify the main active anti-inflammatory constituents of the extract and to investigate the underlying anti-inflammatory mechanisms in murine macrophages.

Analysis and comparison of bioactive phytochemical composition and antibacterial property of two Ethiopian indigenous medicinal plants.

Indigenous medicinal plants with naturally inherited antimicrobial properties are promising sources of antimicrobial agents. Two indigenous Ethiopian traditional medicinal plants (Rhamnus prinoide and Croton macrostachyus) extracted using different solvents and the yield percentage, phytochemical analysis and antimicrobial activity of the plant extracts were examined and compared. The results of this study revealed that Rhamnus prinoide leaf extract using aqueous methanol/ethanol (1 : 1) had the highest yield (15.

Investigation of wool fiber yield and moisture regain properties of four Ethiopian sheep breeds.

Ethiopia has indigenous breeds of sheep such as Washera, Menz, Farta, and Tikur. Small-scale enterprises are using the wool fibers from these breeds to produce local products such as rugs, socks, sweaters, quilts, and mattresses. This study investigates four Ethiopian sheep breeds wool fiber yield and moisture regain properties.

Secondary Validation of a Liquid Scintillation Counter-method for Residues of Tetracyclines, Beta-lactams, and Sulfonamides in Seafood/Aquaculture Products.

This study was carried out to validate the liquid scintillation counter method (Charm II) for the detection of tetracyclines, beta-lactams, and sulfonamides (Sulfa drugs) in a range of Aquaculture Products. This method of validation followed primary validation performed in Belgium and was therefore transferred to Nigeria but further validation was required, and this was performed according to the European Commission Decision 2002/657/EC. Method performance was based on the detection capability (CCβ), specificity (cross-reactivity), robustness, repeatability, and reproducibility for the detection of antimicrobial residues.
