An unusual ulnar artery: its embryological basis and clinical significance.

The principal arteries of the upper limb show a wide range of variation that is of considerable interest to orthopaedic surgeons, plastic surgeons, radiologists and anatomists. The superficial and high origin of the ulnar artery is a well known but rarely encountered abnormality. In a routine dissection of the left upper limb of an adult male cadaver, a superficial ulnar artery was noted.

Healing properties of malabaricone B and malabaricone C, against indomethacin-induced gastric ulceration and mechanism of action.

The healing activity of malabaricone B and malabaricone C, the major antioxidant constituents of the spice Myristica malabarica against the indomethacin-induced gastric ulceration in mice has been studied. The histological indices revealed maximum ulceration on the 3rd day after indomethacin administration, which was effectively healed by malabaricone B, malabaricone C (each 10 mg/kg body weight/day) and omeprazole (3 mg/kg body weight/day) for 3 days. Compared to the untreated ulcerated mice, treatment with malabaricone B, malabaricone C and omeprazole reduced the ulcer indices by 60.
