Lack of projections from medial geniculate body to suprasylvian cortex in cat: a study with horseradish peroxidase
Authors: Stasiak Maciej , Glendenning Karen
Published: December 2023

Because both electrophysiological and behavioral methods have implicated the suprasylvian cortex of cat in audition, its afferents were studied using retrograde transport of horseradish peroxidase. The bulk-filling method was used to maximize the likelihood that virtually all afferents to the area would be labeled. Despite the vivid retrograde labeling of many thalamic cells with this procedure, no direct auditory projections to the suprasylvian cortex could be found in the thalamus (i.e. in medial geniculate body or in the dorsolateral part of the posterior nucleus). Furthermore, very few cells were labeled in the primary auditory cortex ofthe nearby ectosylvian gyrus. The source of afferents to the suprasylvian cortex originate mostly from the pulvinar-lateral posterior complex and to a lesser extent from ventral lateral and ventral anterior nuclei of the thalamus.
Prenatal exposure to anticonvulsant drugs and spatial ability in adulthood
Authors: Dessens Arianne , Cohen-Kettenis Peggy , Mellenbergh Gideon , Poll Nanne , Koppe Janna , Boer Kees
Published: December 2023

By disturbing steroid hormone balances in the fetus, the anticonvulsant drugs phenobarbital and phenytoin may affect certain aspects of cognitive functioning. In order to test this hypothesis, we studied hormone related cognitive functioning in 72 men and 75 women who had been prenatally exposed to these drugs and equal numbers of matched control subjects. The groups did not differ on word fluency, dichotic listening and a Water Level Test. On Card Rotations, however, anticonvulsant-exposed males and females obtained significantly lower scores than control subjects. These results suggest that in both males and females prenatal exposure to phenobarbital and phenytoin may affect holistic spatial processing.
Possible natural circaseptan rhythm in the beach beetle Chaerodes trachyscelides White
Authors: Meyer-Rochow V. , Brown Philip
Published: December 2023

Activity rhythms in groups of captive beach beetles (Chaerodes trachyscelides White) have been recorded in an actograph over a period of 29 days. Under constant illumination and when no sand was provided for the beetles to burrow in abnormal behaviour occurred. With sand and in constant darkness a strictly nocturnal activity period with apparently circaseptan components superimposed was observed. The beetles in their natural habitat are confined to the debris zone where they feed on washed up seaweed and this debris zone moves up and down depending on the heights of the tides. Circaseptan elements in the beetles' activity may act as adaptations to the weekly alternations between spring- and neap-tides.
Upaya Pelestarian Cagar Budaya Batu Bedil Melalui Komunikasi Partisipatif Interpersonal Pada Masyarakat Lokal Di Kabupaten Tanggamus Provinsi Lampung
Authors: Iryana Wahyu , Mustofa Muhamad Bisri
Published: December 2023

Batu Bedil cultural heritage in Lampung is one of the cultural heritage that needs to be preserved and maintained because there is a complex consisting of scratched stones, stone tables (dolmens), lumpang stones, and a number of inscription menhirs.  However, its conservation efforts still face various challenges, especially in terms of local community involvement. The implementation of participatory and interpersonal communication can be the right solution to overcome these challenges. This article discusses how the implementation of participatory and interpersonal communication can help preserve Batu Bedil cultural heritage in Lampung. This research was conducted using a qualitative approach through in-depth interviews and observations of local communities, conservationists, and other related parties. The results showed that the implementation of participatory and interpersonal communication is very important in building active participation of local communities in the Batu Bedil cultural heritage preservation program. Conservation actors consisting of local governments, educational institutions and research must be able to develop effective communication strategies and build good interpersonal relationships with local communities to create an environment conducive to the success of conservation programs. Thus, participatory and interpersonal communication is key in the preservation of Batu Bedil cultural heritage in Lampung Province.

Firmant and the problem of identifying a taxpayer in an organized criminal group
Authors: Oczkowski Tomasz , Zgoliński Igor
Published: December 2023

This article concerns fiscal penal liability against the background of the misdemeanor of firmanism. The authors argue that the so-called pillars in fraudulent tax schemes are primarily people cooperating in the tax fraud of others. They act as helpers. On the other hand, the mere fact that this type of activity materialises only the elements of Article 55 of the k.k.s., although formally correct, is incomplete. The essence of the conduct of the entire criminal group, including the so-called pillars, is to commit tax fraud in the form of acts penalised in Article 54 of the k.k.s. or in Article 56 of the k.k.s.
Organized forms of crime in the companion animals market – criminological study
Authors: Narodowska Joanna
Published: December 2023

The subject of the study is the illegal market for companion animals in Poland. This issue falls within the scope of a paradigm in criminology referred to as “green criminology”. The subject undertaken in the study is part of the social discourse on the legal protection of pet animals. The work is of innovative nature, as the phenomenon of the illegal companion animal market has not been the subject of criminological research in the Polish literature. The research might have an implication dimension and can contribute to setting the direction of criminal policy in the area of green crime. The aim of the study is to depict the phenomenon of the illegal companion animal market in Poland, to determine whether organized criminal groups are involved in illegal practices, to determine the structure of crime, and to analyze the legal regulations in terms of their effectiveness. The results of the research might be helpful in identifying areas of importance for countering pathologies in the animal market.

Forfission of an enterprise and the burd of proof in criminal process
Authors: Dana Andrzej , Jurgilewicz Marcin
Published: December 2023

The subject of the analysis in the article is the institution of enterprise forfeiture (Article 44a of the Act of June 6, 1997, Penal Code), which is the state's criminal law response to the crime committed by the perpetrator. The normative structure of the title institution expresses the presumption that through the enterprise, the perpetrator obtained, even indirectly, a financial benefit of significant value. In turn, in the context of criminal proceedings, this institution introduces an exception in the method of proof, which is based on the rule of onus probandi (burden of proof). The legal exegesis on the forfeiture of an enterprise carried out in the study indicates that this institution is a breach in the process of proof based on the onus probandi rule in favor of the presumption that the enterprise and its components are the result of a crime and illegal benefits that the perpetrator obtained by committing a prohibited act. Therefore, the study posed a research question about the shape of the proof process based on the norm of Art. 44a of the Penal Code.
The importance of mentoring in the process of professional adaptation
Authors: Czymerska Natalia , Gaworska-Krzemińska Aleksandra , Zimmermann Agnieszka
Published: December 2023

Introduction: Practicing the profession of a nurse is associated with the acquisition of the ability to recognize the conditions and health needs of the patient, as well as its care problems. This requires graduates to obtain the appropriate competences and a proper process of professional adaptation. This is particularly important in hospital penitentiary units, where prisoners constitute a specific group of patients. At the stage of onboarding in specific conditions mentoring can effectively help. Mentoring is relationship between an older and a younger professional, intended to develop the potential in the student and allowing him to integrate into the profession. Aim of the study: The aim of the work was to get to know the opinions and views of professionally active nurses on mentoring in nursing and the factors influencing it. Methods and material of research: The research material consisted of survey answers from 206 professionally active nurses. To carry out the study, the diagnostic survey method, the survey technique and the author's questionnaire were used. The research was conducted from January to April 2023.Results: Introduction of a mentoring program in a given medical facility would encourage nurses to stay longer. For nurses, an important aspect is the appointment of a Mentor during the period of professional adaptation which would translate into better implementation of newly recruited employees. Younger nurses with shorter tenure were covered longer period of adaptation than older nurses, who in most cases were not covered by this process at all. Conclusions: The survey conducted in a group of professionally active nurses showed the need to support their professional development, especially at the beginning of their professional careers by introducing mentoring and the position of a Clinical Mentor. The majority of nurses indicated the need for such a program and willingness to participate. In their opinion, it would contribute to the improvement of clinical practice,increasing patient safety and reducing the risk of professional burnout.
A few remarks on the penalty of absolute imprisonment against the background of the principle of human dignity
Authors: Kaczmarczyk-Kłak Katarzyna
Published: December 2023

The currently applicable Penal Code provides for the possibility of imposing a life sentence on the perpetrator for an act committed by him after a final conviction for a crime against life and health, freedom, sexual freedom, public security or for an offense of a terrorist nature. Also with respect to the perpetrator whose nature and circumstances of the act as well as his personal characteristics indicate that remaining at large will pose a permanent threat to the life, health, liberty or sexual freedom of other persons. The above solution was assessed through the prism of the fundamental principle under the Constitution of the Republic of Poland – human dignity. Excluding the possibility of conditional early release deprives the convict of any hope of improving his fate, which should be treated as lifelong mental torture. Since dignity is the source of all human and citizen rights and freedoms and is inviolable, the legal solution adopted in this regard should be assessed negatively. The only extraordinary possibility provided for by law, i.e. the right of pardon provided for in the Constitution of the Republic of Poland, is a presidential prerogative, which does not have to be based on social rehabilitation progress during serving the sentence, which contradicts the essence of serving the sentence.

Published: December 2023

A COVID-19 é uma doença infecciosa causada pelo vírus SARS-CoV-2, sendo sua principal forma de transmissão por meio de gotículas respiratórias, no qual os olhos podem servir como fonte de infecção, bem como, porta de entrada para transmissão. Através do ponto de vista oftalmológico, foram identificadas e classificadas informações disponíveis sobre a transmissão da COVID-19. Para isto foi-se necessária a realização de uma revisão estruturada no PubMed, LILACS e SciELO. Foram utilizados na base de dados os descritores: “COVID-19”, "coronavírus" e "SARS CoV-2" ou “transmissão ocular” e “ transmission ocular” e "olho" e "eye" em artigos gratuitos na íntegra dos anos de 2020 a 2022, em humanos. A coleta de dados foi realizada em agosto de 2022. Sempre levando em consideração tópicos principais de interesse: esclarecer o mecanismo da sua transmissão e patogenia, as implicações oftálmicas e complicações oculares mais frequentes e medidas e recomendações de melhores práticas. Porém, as evidências geradas na COVID-19 e na oftalmologia até o momento são limitadas, tanto a possível presença de partículas virais em lágrimas e conjuntiva quanto o potencial de transmissão conjuntival permanecem controversas. Já as manifestações oculares não são frequentes e podem se assemelhar a infecção viral da superfície ocular. Diante do cenário em que vivemos e da pesquisa realizada, classificamos a necessidade em aprofundar o conhecimento relacionado entre a oftalmologia e a Covid-19.

Published: December 2023

Following the return of Ladislaus the Posthumous, John Hunyadi, in recognition of his previous services, gained an extension to his coat of arms from the ruler, and, in addition, he was granted with the title Count of Bistrița (Hung. Beszterce). His eldest son Ladislaus also held the title. Pressed under texts, several copies of his red wax seal have survived; however, these are damaged, fragmented and blurred. Only a charter, dated Buda, March 31, 1456 in the charter collection of the counts of Celje (Cilli) in the Archives of the Republic of Slovenia (Arhiv Republike Slovenije) has a well preserved and intact pendant seal. It contains both seals of the counts of Bistrița, John Hunyadi and his son, Ladislaus Hunyadi. The aim of this paper is to present the brief historical background of the charter and to describe seals found on the charter.

Abstract. Since this is a psychological science that studies the subtleties and secrets of the human soul, vital activity, it is important. Accordingly, this article talks about the problem of lefthandedness, its causes, and the fact that left-handers are grouped into several groups: in particular, heredity; childbirth in women yesterday; from various compulsions; from conscious self-coercion. One of them, left–handedness, is an important and main difference in the educational process of a student. This is not a disease or a disadvantage. Left-handedness is caused by the specifics of the exchange of the main functions of the cerebral hemispheres. Lefties have their own peculiarities of brain function. In addition, scientists who have studied the problem of left-handedness: C.The opinions of Spinger, G. Deitch, E. S. Ayropetyants, E. D. Chomskaya, N.N.Bragina, M. M. Bezrukikh, V. L. Blanks, etc. are analyzed. Therefore, science divides lefties into four groups: Firstly, it is inherited. That is, blood is passed from generation to generation only through me. The number of those who belong to the first such group is about 10%. Secondly, from late childbirth in women. In pursuit of a career, despising shoes, not meeting blue shoes, women who got married late have great difficulty having a child born in the womb. In addition, the brain cells responsible for the function of the right hand are susceptible to damage. Every year more and more children are born with this type of lefty. The number of people employed alone in the country has reached 2.5 million people. Thirdly, from coercion. For example, a child relies on the help of his left hand in case of a hand burn. Fourth, from conscious self-education. This group also includes people who eat two-handed food and can write with double hands. As the people from the fourth group proved once again, it is known that people can learn something amazing, anything, if they try. According to psychologists, they will have a strong creative potential. In the study of left-handed children, various methods and techniques, surveys are conducted, their final results, scientific and methodological recommendations are given. Key words: primary school, maladjustment, school, intellectual training, individual training, physical training, seminar, training, research, experiment, method.

Exploring the Antibacterial Potential of 2-Ethylacridine from Salacia chinensis: Insights into its Mechanism against Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA)
Authors: Manju S. , Jegadeeshkumar D.
Published: December 2023

Background: Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a growing health issue in India, leading to higher healthcare costs and increased morbidity and mortality rates. The prevalence of MRSA in both community and hospital settings has been on the rise, necessitating the exploration of alternative treatments.
Aim: This study aimed to isolate secondary metabolites from Salacia sinensis and determine their mode of action against MRSA through molecular docking.
Methodology: The study involved the collection of plant samples from Tamil Nadu, India, and the extraction of phytochemicals using methanol and chloroform. GCMS analysis was conducted to identify the bioactive compounds, and molecular docking analysis was performed to assess the antibacterial activity of 2-Ethylacridine against the multi-drug resistance protein (nora) of S.aureus.
Results: The qualitative phytochemical screening of S. chinensis extracts revealed the presence of proteins, carbohydrates, flavonoids, saponins, sterols, terpenoids, and alkaloids. GCMS analysis identified bioactive compounds namely 2-Ethylacridine and Squalene. Molecular docking analysis demonstrated a high binding affinity (-6.8) of 2-Ethylacridine to the Multi-drug resistance protein (nora) of S.aureus.
Implications: The study provides insights into the antibacterial mechanism of 2-Ethylacridine against MRSA, suggesting its potential as a promising antibacterial agent. These findings have implications for the development of novel antibacterial agents targeting multi drug resistance proteins and addressing antibiotic-resistant strains.

Amaç: Dünya çapında her iki cinsiyette de tüm kanserlerin yaklaşık 10%'unu oluşturan kolon kanseri, kansere bağlı ölümlerin dördüncü en yaygın nedenidir. Vakaların yaklaşık 95%'i adenomlardan kaynaklanır. Son yıllarda, kolon kaynaklı patolojilerin ve kanser öncesi değişikliklerin erken tespiti, ölüm oranlarının düşmesine katkıda bulunmuştur. Bu nedenle, kolorektal kanseri önlemek ve uygun şekilde tedavi etmek için erken teşhis gereklidir. Farklı saptama limitleri olan gaitada gizli kan testlerinin (GGK) kolonoskopi sonuçları ile ilişkisini ve testlerin performanslarını değerlendirmeyi amaçladık.
Materyal ve Metod: Üçüncü basamak bir üniversite hastanesi laboratuvarında farklı zaman dilimlerinde kullanılan 10, 30 ve 50 ng/mL cut-off değerlerine sahip 3 farklı immünokimyasal GGK testinin kolonoskopi sonuçları ile uyumu retrospektif olarak incelendi. Adenom ve adenokanser, ileri neoplazi, adenokarsinom için testlerin sensitivite, spesifite, pozitif ve negatif prediktif değerleri belirlendi.

Bulgular: GGK testinin cut-off değerleri arttıkça lezyon saptama oranlarının düştüğünü gözlemledik; Adenokarsinom vakalarının 1/23'ü, 5/22'si, 1/1'i tespit limitleri sırasıyla 10, 30, 50 ng/mL olan testlerde saptanmadı. Testlerin negatif prediktif değerleri adenokarsinom tespiti için 97%'nin üzerindeydi.

Sonuç: GGK testi tespit limitinin değiştirilmesi performansı etkiler. Tespit limitinin düşürülmesi adenokarsinom hastalarının tespit edilmesini kolaylaştıracak beraberinde yanlış pozitif sonuçlar nedeniyle uygulanan kolonoskopi sayısını artıracaktır.

In Hawai‘i and across much of Oceania, Pacific Islanders celebrate the connections between our islands and the ocean that surrounds us. Since the beginning of time, we have relied upon precise observations of marine and celestial realms to intentionally navigate thousands of miles across vast expanses of open ocean. Through our migrations, we have created—and continue to create—purposeful relationships by observing the movements of swells, weather patterns, celestial bodies, and marine life. In direct opposition to colonial Western thought, we view Oceania as a metaphorical road that connects rather than separates island people (Hau’ofa, 1994). As descendants of the ocean, the dearth of Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders (NHPIs) in ocean science seems inconsonant. We wonder, where are all our island people in the ocean sciences? In better defining the persistent, systemic, and collective barriers that NHPIs face within Western society and the academy, we identify gaps that conventional professional development programs aimed at minoritized groups in the geosciences have been unsuccessful in filling. We share lessons learned from building two wa‘a (canoes) in programs that center oceanic ways of knowing.

Среднеармянский язык (XII—XVI вв.) известен своими многочисленными и разнообразными литературными памятниками. Изучению их языка ранее были посвящены различные работы, которые не охватывают всего материала этих произведений. Поэтому необходимо предпринять новые исследования и, соответственно, сделать новую периодизацию истории языка. Нерсес Шнорали видный представитель этого периода в истории армянской пиьменности, литературное наследие которого дает широкие возможности для более нового изучения среднеармянского языка. Сочинения Шнорали написаны на трех вариантах армянского языка среднего периода: грабаре среднего периода, следующем за древним литературным армянским (грабар), разговорном языке (народный) и диалектах того времени. В статье эти варианты представлены с некоторыми примерами, дающими представление о языке этих произведений.
The Middle Armenian language (12th—16th centuries) is known for its numerous and diverse literary monuments. Various works have been previously devoted to the study of their language, which do not cover all the material of these monuments. Therefore, it is necessary to undertake new studies and accordingly make a new periodization of the history of the language. Nerses the Graceful is a prominent representative of this period, whose literary heritage provides ample opportunities for a more extensive examination of the Middle Armenian language. The songs of Nerses the Graceful are written in three variants of the Armenian language of the middle period: the Classical Armenian of the middle period following the ancient Classical Armenian, the (vernacular) language and dialects of the time. The article presents these variants with examples that give an idea of the language of these works.

Статья посвящена исследованию загадок Нерсеса Шнорали, одного из величайших фигур средневековой армянской литературы. Образцы этого малого жанра, принадлежащие перу великого ученого и педагога, рассматриваются в контексте теории множественного интеллекта профессора Гарвардского университета, американского педагога и психолога Говарда Гарднера. Произведения Шнорали содержат зародыши основополагающих принципов и новаторских идей, знаменующих зарождение армянской литературы для детей; их образовательно-воспитательное значение анализировалось в ХХ веке. В частности, наставления в стихотворной форме и загадки Шнорали преследовали воспитательные, образовательные и познавательные цели и были представлены в соответствии с такими важными принципами детской литературы, как доступность, простота и интересное содержание. Привнесенные автором новаторские принципы в значительной степени поспособствовали развитию армянской детской литературы. Задача статьи — раскрыть содержательность и функциональное значение загадок Шнорали, адресованных детям, в контексте теории множествен- ного интеллекта, применяемой в XXI веке. Согласно Г. Гарднеру, существует семь типов интеллекта: лингвистический, логико-математический, пространственный, музыкальный, телесно-кинестетический, межличностный и внутриличностный.
The article is devoted to the study of riddles by Nerses the Graceful, one of the greatest figures of the medieval literature. The samples of this small genre, written by the great scholar and pedagogue, are considered in the context of the theory of multiple intelligences of Harvard University professor, American educator and psychologist Howard Gardner. Nerses the Graceful’s works contain the germs of the fundamental principles and innovative ideas that marked the birth of the Armenian literature for children. Their educational significance was analyzed in the twentieth century. In particular, Nerses the Graceful’s instructions in verse form and riddles pursued educational and cognitive purposes and were presented in accordance with such important principles of children’s literature as accessibility, simplicity and interesting content. The innovative principles introduced by Nerses the Graceful contributed significantly to the development of the Armenian children’s literature.

История, духовно-просветительская и культурная деятельность армянских монастырей в Черных Горах Киликии является одной из наименее изученных областей арменоведения. Статья посвящена истории монастыря Шухр Хандарея, одного из монашеских культурных центров Черных Гор, и оценке наследия скриптория. Единственная рукопись, дошедшая до нас из монастыря Шухр Хандарея — Евангелие 1064 года, древнейшая датированная рукопись из скрипториев Черных Гор. Колофон рукописи — важный первоисточник для уточнения срока правления католикоса Григора II Вкаясера. Согласно наиболее распространенной точке зрения, Григор II возглавил католикосат в 1066 году. В памятной записи шухрской рукописи указана дата, согласно которой Григор II Вкаясер стал католикосом не в 1066 году, как считалось ранее, а в 1064, и занимал престол в течение 41-го года (1064—1105).
The history, spiritual, educational and cultural activities of the Armenian monasteries in the Black Mountains of Cilicia is one of the least studied areas of Armenology. The article is devoted to the history of the monastery of Shukhr Khandarea, one of the monastic cultural centers of the Black Mountains, and to the assessment of the heritage of the scriptorium. The only surviving manuscript from the monastery of Shukhr Khandarea is the Gospel of 1064, the oldest dated manuscript from the scriptoriums of the Black Mountains. The colophon of the manuscript is an important primary source for clarifying the term of the reign of Catholicos Gregory II the Martyrophile. According to the most widespread point of view, Gregory became the head of the Catholicosate in 1066. The colophon of the Shukhr Khandarea manuscript indicates a date, according to which Gregory the Martyrophile became Catholicos not in 1066, as it was considered earlier, but in 1064, and reigned for 41 years (1064—1105).

This study assessed the alignment between IT skills developed by 4th-year Bachelor of Science in Accountancy (BSA) and Bachelor of Science in Management Accounting (BSMA) students at the University of San Jose-Recoletos and the entry-level IT skills necessary in the accounting industry. The study used quantitative data from 205 respondents, including 102 students and 103 accounting professionals. Convenience and stratified random sampling were employed, and the Mann-Whitney U test was used for data analysis. After gathering the data, it is revealed that the skills deemed necessary in the industry are significantly higher than those developed by the students (U=365.5, p>0.05). Overall, there needs to be more alignment between the IT skills developed by the students and those necessary in the accounting industry, indicating a gap between expectations and performance. This result correlates to the framework "expectation-performance gap," which generally pertains to the gap between what is needed in the industry by the professionals and what is developed by the accounting students.

Introdução: A adolescência representa um período crítico na formação de hábitos que perdurarão na idade adulta. A prática de atividade física constante resulta em um bom desenvolvimento escolar, homeostase psíquica e manutenção do peso corporal ideal. Objetivo: Analisar a prevalência da prática de atividade física de adolescentes no município de Montes Claros (MG). Métodos: Trata-se de um estudo quantitativo, transversal e analítico, realizado em 13 instituições de ensino de Montes Claros (MG) no ano de 2017, utilizando o Questionário sobre Atividade Física Regular (PAQ-C) para avaliar a prática de atividade física, relacionada às variáveis: sexo, faixa etária e série escolar. Participaram alunos de 11 a 14 anos, devidamente matriculados nas últimas quatro séries do ensino fundamental. Realizaram-se análises descritivas e bivariadas com nível de significância de 5%. Resultados: Foram entrevistados 897 alunos, com média de idade de 12,64 (±0,98) anos. Dos entrevistados, 48,0% foram considerados moderadamente ativos, seguidos de 29,9% de sedentários e 22,0% de ativos. Observou-se maior prevalência de ativos nos dois primeiros anos do ensino fundamental II, do sexo masculino e mais jovens (p<0,001). A média de horas assistindo à TV de todo o grupo foi de 7,45 (±6,47) horas por dia. Na amostra pesquisada, alunos que estavam com idade entre 13 e 14 anos (p<0,05) passaram mais horas assistindo à TV por dia e tiveram menores escores médios do PAQ-C. A quantidade de horas assistindo TV não foi influenciada pelo nível de atividade física em nenhuma das variáveis. Conclusões: Há alta prevalência de adolescentes do sexo masculino classificados como ativos, assim como alunos com idade entre 11 e 12 anos e nos dois primeiros anos do ensino fundamental II. Contudo, a população analisada apresenta um comportamento sedentário preocupante, tendo em vista a quantidade de horas gastas por esses indivíduos assistindo à TV.

Introduction : Sclerocarya birrea (A.Rich.) Hochst est une plante utilisée comme des précurseurs de composés naturels bioactifs utilisées par l’homme pour ses diverses propriétés telles qu’antihelminthiques, antibactériennes, antioxydantes, antidiabétiques, anti-inflammatoires et éventuellement un effet sur l’utérus gravide. Le but de cette étude était de comparer la composition phytochimique et l’activité contractile sur l’utérus isolé des macérés éthanolique des feuilles et des écorces du tronc de Sclerocarya birrea (A.Rich.) Hochst.

Méthodes :Les polyphénols et flavonoïdes ont été quantifiés. Les activités biochimiques (DPPH, ABTS, FRAP et 15-LOX) et l’effet contractile de muscle lisse utérin isolé des souris NMRI ont été évalués in vitro.

Resultats et Discussion : La plus forte teneur des phénoliques totaux (490,3 ± 2,98 µg EAG/mgEs) a été obtenu avec l’écorce et celle des flavonoïdes (380,6 ± 0,37 µg EQ/mgEs) avec les feuilles. Les plus faibles CI50 en µg/mL, ont été obtenues avec l’extrait des écorces avec 1,94 ± 0,20 contre 4,22 ± 0,19 d’acide ascorbique pour le DPPH ; 34,17 contre 21,43 zileuton pour15-Lypoxygénase et 1,40 ± 0,05 des extraits des feuilles contre 3,08 ± 0,07 d’acide ascorbique pour l’ABTS. Les extraits des écorces et des feuilles avaient inhibés les spasmes utérins de base. L’extrait des écorces s’est révélé plus antioxydant par rapport à l’extrait des feuilles, ceci pourrait être dû à la forte teneur en polyphénols. En effet, l’utilisation traditionnelle de cette plante par les parturientes pourrait être liée à ses effets antioxydant et tocolytique.

La résistance des moustiques aux insecticides chimiques conventionnels demeure une préoccupation majeure pour les programmes de lutte anti-vectorielle. Les recherches s’orientent actuellement vers l’utilisation d’alternatives naturelles, les bio insecticides. L’activité insecticide de certaines plantes comme le Calotropis procera (Ait.) R.br (Apocynaceae) pourrait avoir un grand intérêt dans ce domaine. Dans cette étude, nous avons effectués un criblage des extraits de feuilles de C. procera (aqueux, hydro- éthanolique, méthanolique et éthanolique) par HPTLC, puis mesurer leur teneur en stérol, triterpène et en cardénolides. Nous avons étudié également l’activité larvicide des extraits aqueux et hydro- éthanolique contre le vecteur de la dengue Aedes aegypti selon la méthodologie décrite par l’OMS.

Le profil chimique des différents extraits montre la présence de flavonoïdes, tanins, stérols et triterpènes, coumarines, alcaloïdes et cardénolides. La plus grande activité larvicide a été obtenue avec l’extrait hydro-éthanolique provenant de feuilles récoltées en saison sèche dans la localité de Kombissiri (partie Centre Sud du Burkina) avec une DL50 de (1,58 mg/ml ± 1,51 ; 1,66 mg/ml)

Les résultats obtenus indiquent que l’extrait hydro-éthanolique de C. procera pourrait servir à la formulation d’un bio-insecticide écologique et peu coûteux pour lutter contre les larves d'Aedes aegypti.

Introduction: Africans have been using traditional medicine for generations. One of the faced difficulties in standardizing therapeutic protocols using phytomedicines is the elucidation of the pharmacological mechanism of action, which is essential to better understand how these therapies deal with the body. The aim of this work was to suggest a cardiotonic mechanism of action of Caloncoba glauca (Flacourtiaceae) phytocomponents on isolated frog’s heart.

Methodology: Structural characterization of the isolated compounds was made possible through the interpretation of their NMR (13C and 1H) spectral data and for the known compounds by comparing the data with those described in literature. Cardiotonic activity on isolated frog’s heart had been evaluated using kymograph through four cardiac receptors using propranolol, amlodipine, digoxine then atropine as referential drugs.

Results: The 22 obtained compounds were as follow: Triterpenes (09) - Sterols (06) - Flavonoids (03)

- Coumarins (02) - Fatty acids (02). The cardiotonic activity showed that the methanolic extract of the roots of C. glauca (Flacourtiaceae) and 3α-ethanoyloxy-30-nor-(D:A)-friedo-olean-20(29)-ène-27,22α- lactone increase cardiac parameters through the stimulation of beta-adrenergic pathway and calcium channel. Finally, molecular interactions through computer simulations showed that, for 3α-ethanoyloxy- 30-nor-(D:A)-friedo-olean-20(29)-ène-27,22α-lactone, hydrogen bonds are established between its carbonyls, arginine and glycine.

Conclusion: At the end of this work, total of 22 compounds belonging to 5 chemical sub-families were isolated, and the cardiotonic activity assay showed that the methanolic extract of the roots of C. glauca(Flacourtiaceae) and 3α-ethanoyloxy-30-nor-(D:A)-friedo-olean-20(29)-ène-27,22α-lactone increase cardiac parameters probably through the stimulation of beta-adrenergic pathway and calcium channel.
