The antispasmodic activity of Buddleja scordioides and Buddleja perfoliata on isolated intestinal preparations. (1/10)
The antispasmodic activity of extracts from the aerial parts of Buddleja scordioides and Buddleja perfoliata (family: Scrophulariaceae) was studied on isolated tissue preparations from rabbit and guinea pig intestine. The chloroformic extract from the plants exhibited a significant relaxation on the spontaneous contraction of isolated rabbit jejunum at concentrations ranging from 1 to 400 microg/ml, and also caused an inhibitory effect on both K+ and Ca2+ induced contractions in the same tissue. The extracts at moderate doses (50 microg/ml) reduced 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT), acetylcholine and histamine induced contractions on isolated guinea pig ileum. Therefore, B. scordioides and B. perfoliata possess similar relaxant mechanism of action, in view of the fact that both inhibit K+ induce contraction and act through serotoninic, muscarinic and histaminic receptors. So, these data support the idea that the extracts may interfere either with calcium mobilization from intracellular stores, or with calcium interaction with regulatory proteins (e.g., calmodulin), or in other steps in the calcium signaling pathway. This leads us to suggest that the spasmolytic effect of both Buddleja species on smooth muscular contractility are due to the same or similar compounds occurring in these two species, which might be present in similar quantities. (+info)Neuroprotective effect of Buddleja officinalis extract on transient middle cerebral artery occlusion in rats. (2/10)
The flower buds of Buddleja officinalis MAXIM (Loganiaceae) are used to treat headache and inflammatory diseases in traditional Korean medicine. In the present study, the neuroprotective effects of the methanolic extract of B. officinalis (BOME) and of its hexane fraction (BOHF) were investigated in a middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAo, 120 min occlusion, 24 h reperfusion) Sprague-Dawley rat model. BOME or BOHF (100 mg/kg, p.o.) was twice administered 30 min before the onset of MCAo and 2 h after reperfusion. BOME and BOHF treated groups showed infarct volumes reduced by 33.9% and 68.2%, respectively, at 2 h occlusion. In BOHF treated animals, cyclooxygenase-2 and iNOS inductions were inhibited in ischemic hemispheres at both the mRNA and protein levels. Furthermore, in vitro studies showed that BOME and BOHF both inhibited LPS-induced nitric oxide production in BV-2 mouse microglial cells. These results suggest that the anti-inflammatory and the microglial activation inhibitory effects of B. officinalis extract may contribute to its neuroprotective effects in brain ischemia.

(+info)Total peroxynitrite scavenging capacity of phenylethanoid and flavonoid glycosides from the flowers of Buddleja officinalis. (4/10)
Nine compounds, including six phenylethanoid glycosides: acteoside (1); bioside (2); echinacoside (3); poliumoside (4); phenylethyl glycoside (5); salidroside (6) and three flavonoids; linarin (7); apigenin (8); isorhoifolin (9), were isolated from the flowers of Buddleja officinalis MAXIM. (Buddlejaceae). Chemical structures were confirmed by (1)H-, and (13)C-NMR, and MS spectral methods and compared with those reported in the literature. Antioxidant activities of the methanol and water extracts, and all isolated compounds were evaluated using the total oxidant scavenging capacity (TOSC) assay against peroxynitrite. Results of the assay showed that the phenylethanoid glycosides, a major class of compounds of the flowers of B. officinalis, possess strong antioxidant activity. Of these, acteoside, echinacoside and poliumoside have 9.9-, 9.8- and 9.5-fold TOSC value, respectively, compared with the positive control, Trolox. (+info)Effects of eye drops of Buddleja officinalis Maxim. extract on lacrimal gland cell apoptosis in castrated rats with dry eye. (5/10)
OBJECTIVE: To explore the possible mechanism of eye drops of Buddleja officinalis extract in treating dry eye of castrated rats by analyzing the expressions of Bax and Bcl-2 proteins. METHODS: Forty-five Wistar male rats were randomly divided into sham-operated group, untreated group and eye drops of Buddleja officinalis Maxim. extract (treatment) group. The dry eye model was established with orchiectomy in the untreated group and treatment group. Rats in the treatment group were treated with eye drops of Buddleja officinalis Maxim. extract, one drop once, three times daily. Eyes of rats in the sham-operated group and untreated group were instilled with normal saline. After one-, two-, or three-month treatment, five rats in each group were scarified respectively. Then samples were taken to detect related indices. Expressions of Bax and Bcl-2 of lacrimal gland were checked by immunohistochemical method and quantity of apoptotic cells was counted. RESULTS: After one-, two- or three-month treatment, the quantities of expressions of Bax in acinar epithelial cells and glandular tube cells were significantly lower, and those of Bcl-2 were significantly higher in the treatment group than in the untreated group, and the quantities of apoptotic cells of the treatment group were significantly lower than those of the untreated group (P<0.01). CONCLUSION: The main components of extract of Buddleja officinalis Maxim. are flavonoids, which can significantly inhibit cell apoptosis in lacrimal gland.

(+info)I apologize for any confusion, but "Buddleja" is not a medical term. It is actually the name of a genus of flowering plants in the family Scrophulariaceae, also known as butterfly bush. These plants are native to warm temperate and subtropical regions of the world and are cultivated for their long summer blooms that attract butterflies. If you have any medical terminology or concepts that you would like me to define or explain, I'd be happy to help!
Aerial parts of plants refer to the above-ground portions of a plant, including leaves, stems, flowers, and fruits. These parts are often used in medicine, either in their entirety or as isolated extracts, to take advantage of their medicinal properties. The specific components of aerial parts that are used in medicine can vary depending on the plant species and the desired therapeutic effects. For example, the leaves of some plants may contain active compounds that have anti-inflammatory or analgesic properties, while the flowers of others may be rich in antioxidants or compounds with sedative effects. In general, aerial parts of plants are used in herbal medicine to treat a wide range of conditions, including respiratory, digestive, and nervous system disorders, as well as skin conditions and infections.
I'm sorry for any confusion, but "sulfonic acids" are not a medical term. They are a type of compound in chemistry, specifically strong organic acids that contain the functional group -SO3H. Sulfonic acids are widely used in industry and research, including the production of detergents, dyes, and pharmaceuticals.
If you have any questions related to medical terminology or concepts, please don't hesitate to ask!
In the context of healthcare, "missions" and "missionaries" typically refer to efforts by religious organizations or individuals to provide medical services and health education in underserved communities, often in low-income countries. The missionaries are usually healthcare professionals, such as doctors, nurses, or public health specialists, who volunteer their time and expertise to improve the health and wellbeing of people in need.
The missions can take various forms, including:
1. Short-term medical missions: These are typically one- to two-week trips during which a team of healthcare professionals provides clinical services, surgeries, or health education in a community that has limited access to care.
2. Long-term medical missions: In these cases, missionaries may spend several months to a few years living and working in a community to provide ongoing healthcare services and build local capacity.
3. Sponsored medical missions: Some religious organizations or churches may sponsor the construction of hospitals, clinics, or health centers in underserved areas, which are then staffed by missionary healthcare providers.
4. Community health programs: Missionaries might also engage in public health initiatives focused on disease prevention, health promotion, and capacity building within communities. These programs can include water and sanitation projects, immunization campaigns, maternal and child health interventions, or HIV/AIDS education and treatment efforts.
It is important to note that while missions and missionaries have played a significant role in providing healthcare services to underserved populations, their work can also be associated with cultural insensitivity, paternalism, and the imposition of Western values and beliefs on local communities. As such, it is crucial for missionaries to approach their work with humility, respect for local customs and traditions, and a commitment to empowering and collaborating with community members.
I apologize for any confusion, but "Chile" is not a medical term or concept. It is a country located in South America, known for its long and narrow geography, diverse landscapes, and rich cultural heritage. If you have any questions related to medicine or health, I would be happy to try and help answer those for you.
An encyclopedia is a comprehensive reference work containing articles on various topics, usually arranged in alphabetical order. In the context of medicine, a medical encyclopedia is a collection of articles that provide information about a wide range of medical topics, including diseases and conditions, treatments, tests, procedures, and anatomy and physiology. Medical encyclopedias may be published in print or electronic formats and are often used as a starting point for researching medical topics. They can provide reliable and accurate information on medical subjects, making them useful resources for healthcare professionals, students, and patients alike. Some well-known examples of medical encyclopedias include the Merck Manual and the Stedman's Medical Dictionary.
"Butterflies" is not a medical term, but rather a colloquial or informal term that is often used to describe a feeling of nervousness or excitement in the stomach. It is thought to be due to the release of adrenaline and the increased heart rate and breathing that can occur when someone is anxious or excited. The sensation may be caused by the contraction of the muscles in the stomach, which can feel like fluttering or flips. This feeling is not a medical condition and does not typically require treatment, but if it is severe or persistent, it may be helpful to speak with a healthcare provider to address any underlying anxiety or stress.
I'm sorry for any confusion, but "Verbena" is not a medical term. It is the name of a genus of plants commonly known as vervain, which have been used in various traditional medicines and herbal remedies. However, it is not a term used in modern conventional medicine.
"Cryptocarya" is a genus of flowering plants in the family Lauraceae, which includes trees and shrubs that are native to tropical regions of the world. These plants have simple, alternate leaves and small flowers with both male and female reproductive structures. The fruits of many species are fleshy and drupel-like, containing a single seed.
The name "Cryptocarya" comes from the Greek words "kryptos," meaning hidden, and "karpos," meaning fruit, which refers to the fact that the fruits of some species are enclosed within fleshy structures or bracts.
It is important to note that "Cryptocarya" is not a medical term, but rather a taxonomic name used in botany to classify and describe a particular group of plants. While some species of Cryptocarya may have medicinal uses, the genus itself does not have a specific medical definition or application.
