Amino acid sequences of ferredoxins from Scopolia japonica and Lycium chinense: their similarities to that of Datura arborea. (1/5)
The complete amino acid sequences of [2Fe-2S] ferredoxins from Scopolia japonica and Lycium chinense have been determined by automated Edman degradation of the entire Cm-proteins and of the peptides obtained by enzymatic digestions. These two ferredoxins exhibited only 2-7 differences in the amino acid sequence when compared to the Datura-ferredoxins (D. stramonium, D. metel, and D. arborea), and especially only 2 or 3 differences compared to D. arborea. On the contrary, 8-19 differences were observed among the other solanaceous ferredoxins. This suggests that S. japonica and L. chinense are closely related taxonomically to Datura plants, especially to D. arborea.

BACKGROUND: The perception and use of plants correspond with common plant names. The study of plant names may give insight into historical and recent use of plants. METHODS: Plant names in dictionaries and folklore have been evaluated. A etymological analysis of the names is provided. Onomasiological and semasiological aspects have been considered. Therefore, species named with names related to each other have been selected. RESULTS: Plant names containing the stem dag- or deg- may belong to either of two categories: incenses or thorny plants. Plants named in durn- have been in use as psychopharmaca. The name rymo points not to Rome but to the use of plants as anodyne or psychopharmaca.

The qualitative and quantitative determinations of coumarins, phenolic acids and flavonoids in the leaves and underground parts of Scopolia caucasica using paper chromatography and HPLC methods were described. From the leaves of this plant, kaempferol 3-O-(2-glucosyl)-galactoside-7-O-glucoside, kaempferol 3-O-(2-glucosyl)-galactoside and quercetin 3-O-glucoside were isolated and identified by spectroscopic methods (UV, 1H- and 13C-NMR). (+info)Scopolia is not a medical condition or term itself, but it refers to a genus of plants in the nightshade family (Solanaceae) that includes several species such as Scopolia carniolica and Scopolia japonica. These plants contain powerful alkaloids including scopolamine and hyoscyamine, which have been used in medicine for their anticholinergic properties to treat conditions like motion sickness, gastrointestinal disorders, and Parkinson's disease. However, these substances can also cause significant side effects and toxicity if not properly managed. Improper use or misuse of Scopolia plants can lead to severe poisoning, resulting in symptoms such as dry mouth, dilated pupils, blurred vision, tachycardia, delirium, hallucinations, convulsions, coma, and even death.
'Datura' is a genus of plants that belong to the family Solanaceae, also known as nightshades. These plants are native to North and South America but have been introduced and naturalized in many parts of the world. Some common names for plants in this genus include Jimson weed, thorn apple, and angel's trumpet.
Datura species contain a variety of toxic alkaloids, including scopolamine, atropine, and hyoscyamine, which can have hallucinogenic effects when ingested. However, these plants are also highly poisonous and can cause serious harm or death if consumed. Ingesting even small amounts can result in symptoms such as dilated pupils, dry mouth, rapid heartbeat, confusion, agitation, and delirium.
It is worth noting that Datura is sometimes used in traditional medicine practices, but it should only be administered under the close supervision of a qualified healthcare provider, as improper use can lead to severe adverse effects.
"Lycium" is a genus name that refers to a group of plants commonly known as "goji berries" or "wolfberries." These plants belong to the nightshade family (Solanaceae) and are native to Asia, particularly China. The fruit of these plants, the goji berry, has been used in traditional medicine for centuries due to its high antioxidant content and potential health benefits. However, it is important to note that while some studies suggest that goji berries may have positive effects on certain aspects of health, more research is needed to confirm these findings and establish recommended dosages and safety guidelines.
A "drug eruption" is a general term used to describe an adverse skin reaction that occurs as a result of taking a medication. These reactions can vary in severity and appearance, and may include symptoms such as rash, hives, itching, redness, blistering, or peeling of the skin. In some cases, drug eruptions can also cause systemic symptoms such as fever, fatigue, or joint pain.
The exact mechanism by which drugs cause eruptions is not fully understood, but it is thought to involve an abnormal immune response to the medication. There are many different types of drug eruptions, including morphilliform rashes, urticaria (hives), fixed drug eruptions, and Stevens-Johnson syndrome/toxic epidermal necrolysis (SJS/TEN), which is a severe and potentially life-threatening reaction.
If you suspect that you are experiencing a drug eruption, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. Your healthcare provider can help determine the cause of the reaction and recommend appropriate treatment. In some cases, it may be necessary to discontinue the medication causing the reaction and switch to an alternative therapy.
Pseudolymphoma is a term used to describe a benign reactive lymphoid hyperplasia that mimics the clinical and histopathological features of malignant lymphomas. It is also known as pseudolymphomatous cutis or reactive lymphoid hyperplasia.
Pseudolymphoma can occur in various organs, but it is most commonly found in the skin. It is usually caused by a localized immune response to an antigenic stimulus such as insect bites, tattoos, radiation therapy, or certain medications. The condition presents as a solitary or multiple nodular lesions that may resemble lymphoma both clinically and histologically.
Histologically, pseudolymphoma is characterized by a dense infiltrate of lymphocytes, plasma cells, and other immune cells, which can mimic the appearance of malignant lymphoma. However, unlike malignant lymphomas, pseudolymphomas lack cytological atypia, mitotic activity, and clonal proliferation of lymphoid cells.
Pseudolymphoma is usually a self-limiting condition that resolves spontaneously or with the removal of the antigenic stimulus. However, in some cases, it may persist or recur, requiring further evaluation and treatment to exclude malignant lymphoma.
Acute Generalized Exanthematous Pustulosis (AGEP) is a severe cutaneous adverse reaction that typically occurs within 48 hours after the initiation of medication. It is characterized by the rapid development of widespread sterile pustules on an erythematous and edematous base, often accompanied by systemic symptoms such as fever and neutrophilia.
The most common triggers for AGEP are antibiotics (such as beta-lactams, macrolides, and fluoroquinolones), antifungals, and calcium channel blockers. The diagnosis of AGEP is based on clinical presentation, histopathological findings, and the exclusion of other causes of pustular eruptions.
The management of AGEP includes immediate discontinuation of the offending medication, supportive care, and sometimes systemic corticosteroids. The prognosis is generally good with most patients recovering within 2 weeks, although recurrences may occur upon re-exposure to the causative agent.
An exanthem is a skin eruption or rash that often occurs as a symptom of various diseases, such as infectious illnesses. It can appear in different forms, including maculopapular (consisting of both macules and papules), vesicular (small fluid-filled blisters), petechial (small purple or red spots caused by bleeding under the skin), or erythematous (reddened). The rash can be localized to certain areas of the body or generalized, covering large parts or the entire body. Exanthems are usually accompanied by other symptoms related to the underlying disease, such as fever, cough, or muscle aches.
Trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole combination is an antibiotic medication used to treat various bacterial infections. It contains two active ingredients: trimethoprim and sulfamethoxazole, which work together to inhibit the growth of bacteria by interfering with their ability to synthesize folic acid, a vital component for their survival.
Trimethoprim is a bacteriostatic agent that inhibits dihydrofolate reductase, an enzyme needed for bacterial growth, while sulfamethoxazole is a bacteriostatic sulfonamide that inhibits the synthesis of tetrahydrofolate by blocking the action of the enzyme bacterial dihydropteroate synthase. The combination of these two agents produces a synergistic effect, increasing the overall antibacterial activity of the medication.
Trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole is commonly used to treat urinary tract infections, middle ear infections, bronchitis, traveler's diarrhea, and pneumocystis pneumonia (PCP), a severe lung infection that can occur in people with weakened immune systems. It is also used as a prophylactic treatment to prevent PCP in individuals with HIV/AIDS or other conditions that compromise the immune system.
As with any medication, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole combination can have side effects and potential risks, including allergic reactions, skin rashes, gastrointestinal symptoms, and blood disorders. It is essential to follow the prescribing physician's instructions carefully and report any adverse reactions promptly.
Vesiculobullous skin diseases are a group of disorders characterized by the formation of blisters (vesicles) and bullae (larger blisters) on the skin. These blisters form when there is a separation between the epidermis (outer layer of the skin) and the dermis (layer beneath the epidermis) due to damage in the area where they join, known as the dermo-epidermal junction.
There are several types of vesiculobullous diseases, each with its own specific causes and symptoms. Some of the most common types include:
1. Pemphigus vulgaris: an autoimmune disorder where the immune system mistakenly attacks proteins that help to hold the skin together, causing blisters to form.
2. Bullous pemphigoid: another autoimmune disorder, but in this case, the immune system attacks a different set of proteins, leading to large blisters and inflammation.
3. Dermatitis herpetiformis: a skin condition associated with celiac disease, where gluten ingestion triggers an immune response that leads to the formation of itchy blisters.
4. Pemphigoid gestationis: a rare autoimmune disorder that occurs during pregnancy and causes blisters on the abdomen and other parts of the body.
5. Epidermolysis bullosa: a group of inherited disorders where there is a fragile skin structure, leading to blistering and wound formation after minor trauma or friction.
Treatment for vesiculobullous diseases depends on the specific diagnosis and may include topical or systemic medications, such as corticosteroids, immunosuppressants, or antibiotics, as well as wound care and prevention of infection.
Skin diseases, also known as dermatological conditions, refer to any medical condition that affects the skin, which is the largest organ of the human body. These diseases can affect the skin's function, appearance, or overall health. They can be caused by various factors, including genetics, infections, allergies, environmental factors, and aging.
Skin diseases can present in many different forms, such as rashes, blisters, sores, discolorations, growths, or changes in texture. Some common examples of skin diseases include acne, eczema, psoriasis, dermatitis, fungal infections, viral infections, bacterial infections, and skin cancer.
The symptoms and severity of skin diseases can vary widely depending on the specific condition and individual factors. Some skin diseases are mild and can be treated with over-the-counter medications or topical creams, while others may require more intensive treatments such as prescription medications, light therapy, or even surgery.
It is important to seek medical attention if you experience any unusual or persistent changes in your skin, as some skin diseases can be serious or indicative of other underlying health conditions. A dermatologist is a medical doctor who specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of skin diseases.
