Plants and herbs are the mainstream of diverse traditional medicine system practiced throughout the whole population. Today, there is increasingly trend set the uses of natural plants for the various human ailments and wound healing as natural remedy. The crude drugs are derived from the whole plant or parts of the plants that are being used for tremendous diseases through the world without chances of serious adverse reaction as well as more efficacy and safety. The ethnomedicines are being indicated worldwide that consists of different phytochemical constitutes like as alkaloids, saponin, phenols, tannins, flavonoids and carbohydrates so as to not only have biological, physiological and pharmacological activity but also have antioxidant activity for the treatment of stomach, cardiovascular and liver alilments.

Herbal medicinal natural plants and species are mostly used for wide purposes in Pakistan in current situation. There are diverse variety of phytochemical constituents which are present in plants and act as secondary metabolites that are formed from the normal metabolism likewise alkaloids, flavonoids, glycoside, phenols, steroids and other specific pigments. Therefore, the botanist concentrations are increasingly changing to ethnobotanical practices due to availability at lower price, wide safety and efficacy margin and less side effects of plants. The medicinal benefits of the special phytochemical of the plants cannot be ignored. Some of the herbal plants have been expressed for their significance to take care of the different ailments of mankind particularly correlated to liver, GIT, stomach and colon.

In recent years several reports of atypical fracture (AFF) of the femur occurring in postmenopausal osteoporosis patients, on long term bisphosphonate therapy, are noted in the literature. In comparison only, few cases of these type of fractures occurring in patients, on concomitant glucocorticoid and bisphosphonate medication, are reported. Here, we are reporting one such case belonging to this sub-group.

This study describes the activity-guided isolation and purification of antimicrobial proteins from the seeds of Foeniculum vulgare. Purification was carried out by (NH4)2SO4 precipitation, gel filtration and ion-exchange chromatography. Antifungal and antibacterial activities were determined by disc diffusion assay method. SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis revealed that the purified protein was a monomer with molecular mass of 60 kDa. This is a first report on purification of a protein from Foeniculum vulgare, which possesses a strong and broad spectrum antimicrobial activity. Our results suggest that the antimicrobial properties of this plant seed may be further investigated to explore the possibility of using them in the treatment of candidal or bacterial infections.

Moxifloxacin is a 4th generation fluoroquinolone. Study was planned on renal clearance and urinary excretion of moxifloxacin on healthy male volunteers by applying sensitive, rapid and accurate HPLC-UC analytical method. For this study 8 healthy male subjects similar in all physical conditions were selected. Moxifloxacin (Avelox® 400 mg) was administered orally under fasting conditions. First sample of urine and blood was collected before administration of moxifloxacin and other samples of blood were taken at 0.5, 1.5, 2.5, 3.5 hr and urine samples were withdrawn at 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 24, 36 and 48 hr. The pH of the samples was measured by pH meter. Blood and urine samples were analyzed with HPLC for drug determination. Endogenous creatinine was measured by reagent kit method. The plasma concentration of endogenous creatinine and drug were 12.61 ± 0.85 µg/mL and 1.678 ± 0.062 µg/mL. The renal clearance of endogenous creatinine ranges from 1.17 to 3.18 ml/min/kg with an average ± SE value of 2.67 ± 0.24 mL/min/Kg. Renal clearance of moxifloxacin was 0.476 ± 0.04 mL/min/Kg ranged between 0.27 – 0.609 mL/min/Kg. Urinary excretion of moxifloxacin calculated as cumulative percent dose excreted 20.48 ± 0.88. A positive relationship was found between diuresis and renal clearance of drug indicated that besides glomerular filtration passive diffusion is also involved at kidney tubular level.

Avena sativa which is commonly known as oat has beneficial effects against various diseases especially cancer, bowel syndrome, diabetes, cardiovascular disease and obesity. Gastro protective effect of seed grains of Avena sativa in indomethacin induced ulcer in healthy male adult albino rabbits were evaluated in present study. A total of thirty-six rabbits were divided into six equal groups. Group 1 would be served as control group on routine diet. Indomethacin (indocin) 20 mg/kg was given to 2nd group to induce ulcer, 3rd group was served by synthetic antiulcer drug Zantac (ranitidine) at the dose of 10 mg/kg orally while group 4, 5 and 6 were given three different doses of Avena sativa seed powders 250 mg/kg, 500 mg/kg and 750 mg/kg respectively for 14 days. At the end of experiment rabbits were sacrificed to collect gastric contents for the estimation of total acid output. The blood sample was collected at 0 and 14 days. Antiulcer activity of this plant was analyzed by measuring different parameters like pH, gastric volume, acid output and ulcer index. Result showed that Avena sativa at dose of 750 mg/kg reduced the values of total oxidant status (TOS), malondialdehyde and increased the total antioxidant capacity and catalase activity and these results were compared with standard drug. From these results it was concluded that Avena sativa has strongest antioxidant potential.

The present study was designed to investigate effect of Oxalis corniculata (Creeping wood sorrel) against aflatoxicosis in straight run broiler chicken (Hubbard strain). Hundred and twenty-day old broiler chicks were randomly divided into six groups with two replicates. Two different levels of O.corniculata (250; 500 mg/kg b.w) with and without AFB1 (350 ppb) and a control treatment were added to the diet. Dietary treatment initiated at the end of 1st week and sustained for six weeks. O.corniculata supplementation in the diet during five weeks significantly reduced body weight, cumulative feed intake and feed conversion ratio of the treated groups in dose dependent manner. Dietary incorporation of O.corniculata 250 mg to 500mg induced negative effects on overall broiler health performance.

The Based on one-factor-at-a-time experiments, response surface methodology was employed to optimize ultrasound-assisted extraction of Aronia melanocarpa berries (chokeberry; AMP). The optimum extraction conditions were determined as follows: ethanol concentration 62%, ultrasonic power 198 W, liquid-solid ratio 19 (mL/g) and ultrasonic time 44 min. Under this condition, AMP anthocyanin yield was 4.31893 mg/g with a 1.67 % error compared with the actual value, which showed that the model and the optimization process was feasible. Additionally, superoxide anion radical (O2-·) radical scavenging activities of AMP extracts and VC was comparatively analyzed and the result revealed that the antioxidant activity of AMP extracts was superior to VC.

Animal models of stress were successfully adopted in the stress research over the years. Generally, rodent model is successfully used and since, they can be utilized for studying different stress stimuli such as psychological, somatic or physical and a combination of both. Since human beings are difficult to be used to such specified and varied stress stimuli, the results obtained can be extrapolated to few stress situations that may lead into anxiety, depression and psychiatric conditions. The different models used vary from isolation, noise, predator exposure and diurnal variations mainly as psychological models and immobilization, foot shock, temperature variation and unpredictable stress exposure as physical stress models. Between the lines, few psychological models and somatic models may also be a mixture of both as physical discomfort or pain will also have psychological component. Nevertheless, these models have provided a strong basis in understanding the basis of psychological and psychiatric problems that are faced by human beings and contributed in the development of drug development and their testing for the good of mankind.
