The plant is of the family Asteraceas and was used in the traditional medicine for the treatment of gastrointestinal tract disorders, tumors and inflammatory diseases. \u0000Methodology: Sixty rats of both sexes were used, divided into 5 groups. The hepatotoxicity was induced by administration of carbon tetrachloride (CCL4) at dose rate of 0.2 mg /kg BW.

(Pittosporaceae) on Some Models of Gastric Ulcer in Rats","authors":"Bibiane Aimée Wandji, Francis Désiré Bomba Tatsinkou, Basile Nganmegne Piégang, Kenne Benaille Jocelyne, A. Kamanyi","doi":"10.47941/ijbs.1281","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.47941/ijbs.1281","url":null,"abstract":"Purpose: This work assesses the antiulcerogenic and antiulcer properties of the aqueous extract of Pittosporum mannii and shows at what dosage this plant would not be of any danger to the patient. \u0000Methodology: The aqueous extract of its bark, orally administered at the doses of 35, 75, 150 and 300mg/kg, has been experimented on acute (HCl/EtOH (150mM HCl in 60% ethanol); ligature of the pylorus) and chronic ulcers (acetic acid; 0.05 ml of 30% acetic acid) induced on rats. \u0000Findings: The results from these experiments show that: the aqueous extract of the barks of Pittosporum mannii possesses antiulcerogenic properties. At 300mg/kg dose, the extract completely inhibited (100%) the ulcer induced by the mixture HCl/EtOH. For the three patterns of gastric ulcers induction used, the mucus weight did not vary significantly (p>0.05) on the treated animals as compared to the negative control groups. In the group that underwent pylorus ligature, the extract did not induce any significant variation in both the gastric acidity and the gastric volume. However these results do not bring out the exact mechanism of action of the plant extract. Furthermore, the extract neither acts in reinforcing the protection barrier of the gastric mucus membrane nor its antisecretory properties. The nitric oxide proportion of the gastric mucous membrane presents a significant variation (p<0.05) at the dose of 300mg/kg. With regards to these results, we realized that this extract increases the nitric oxide rate of the gastric mucosa which intervenes in the healing process. The aqueous extract of the stem bark of Pittosporum mannii provokes the death of all animals of the groups from a dose of 3g/kg (LD100) whereas half of the population of the experimental rats succumbed at the dose of 2.66g/kg (LD50). After two weeks of treatment, the rats that received the extract at the doses of 75, 150 and 300mg/kg presented no significant variation of the hepatic and plasmatic protein levels. The levels of plasma transaminases (AST; 300mg/kg), hepatic ALT (300mg/kg) and plasmatic ALT (150mg/kg) present a significant drop. The stem bark of Pittosporum mannii possess gastroprotective and ulcer-healing effect although at this time it is difficult to explain the exact mechanism involved in these two processes. \u0000Unique contribution to theory, policy and practice: According to the results obtained, it would be important to realise a histological test of the detoxification organs such as the liver, the heart and the kidneys. Moreover, the cytotoxicity test has to be done to determine the effect of the extract at the cellular level before any therapeutic use","PeriodicalId":13993,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Fauna and Biological Studies","volume":"11 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79250028","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Out of the total of 38 species, about 8 species (21%) were common in both ponds. The diversity and richness of zooplankton are higher in unmanaged pond.

The nasal index is a vital measurement for classifying the ethnic groups and sex of an individual. The study aims at determine the nasal index of adult male and female Ikwerre natives in relation to age and to show its interest in forensic anthropology. \u0000Materials and methods: Three hundred and thirty subjects (160 males and 170 females) aged 20–59 years were recruited for this study. Nasal height and width were measured using a digital Vernier caliper. The nasal index was calculated as nasal width/nasal height ×100.  \u0000Results: The mean nasal index of females aged 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, and 50-59 years were 87.45±0.85, 94.69±1.30, 93.90±1.71, and 93.94±1.39 respectively.

The nasal index of overall males and females was 77.22±2.11 and 94.23±0.90 respectively. The higher nasal index was observed in males within the age groups 20–29 and 50–59 years, as compared to the females, who had a higher nasal index within the age groups 30-39 and 40–49 years.

Research variables: Production performance and edible offals of landrace pigs. The outcomes: The production performance of landrace pigs was unaffected by replacing commercial concentrate with 50% WFBF from the control. The production performance had been severely lowered by switching to 100% WFBF. The weight of the edible offals was unaffected by replacing commercial concentrate with 50% to 100% WFBF.
