Samanea saman (Albizia saman) is a wide-canopied tree with a large symmetrical crown. It usually reaches a height of 25 m (82 ft) and a diameter of 40 m. The leaves fold in rainy weather and in the evening, hence the name "rain tree" and "five o'clock tree" (Pukul Lima) in Malay. In the present investigation, the bioactive methanolic fraction was subjected to HPTLC and GC-MS analysis. GCMS analysis revealed the presence of six compounds from the methanolic fraction of the Samanea saman (1) 9,Octadecenoic acid (Z) methyl ester, (2) Dodecanoic acid, 10-methyl, methyl ester, (3) 13Hexyloxyacylotridec-10-en-2-one, (4) 15Octadecenoic acid, methyl ester (5) Diethyl -1(8 –amino -1naphthyl) -1,2,3 triazole -4,5 –dicarboxylate were identified from the methanolic extract from the leaves of Samanea saman. The presence of these compounds was confirmed by NIST library values. HPTLC analysis concludes the presence of four major phytoconstituents which was eluted at Rf 0.67; 0.79; 0.85 & 0.90 respectively.

Colorectal cancer is one of the most common tumours of the world with the varying distribution. Though small intestine is an uncommon site for tumour, it accounts for significant number of gastro-intestinal malignancies. Pathological assessment of the resected specimen is mandatory for assessing the postoperative outcome and the rationale for adjuvant therapy. Among the various prognostic factors, Mutation of the p53 tumour suppressor gene, plays an important role in the progression of colorectal carcinoma and so it represents a clinically useful marker of prognosis. The present study evaluates the role of p53 in intestinal neoplasms by assessing its level of expression and to correlate the level of p53 expression with the stage of the colorectal adenocarcinomas so that its prognostic value in colorectal adenocarcinomas can be calculated.

Introduction: Plaque disruption exposes thrombogenic substances that may produce an extensive thrombus in the infarct-related artery. The precursor of BNP and N-terminal pro – Brain Natriuretic Peptide (NT-proBNP) is a pre-pro hormone BNP, The prohormone is released during homodynamic stress from the left and right cardiac ventricle in response to ventricular volume expansion and pressure overload. Recent data suggest that left ventricular end diastolic wall stress and wall stiffness may be the predominate triggers of BNP release. Objective: To determine the level of serum NT-PRO brain natriuretic peptide which marked an increased incidence of cardiovascular events in unselected community-based individuals with many types of acute coronary syndrome admitted to cardiology care unite within 24 hour. Patients and Methods: This prospective study was composed of 70 consecutive patients with ACS who were seen between April 2015 to April 2017, and 20 healthy subjects as control group. The present study was conducted at the Department of Bio Chemistry, College of Medicine, University of Baghdad and Baghdad Teaching Hospital. Routine blood samples were collected at admission with fasting status, and the troponin I, C-reactive protien , and BNP levels were measured, a specific kit for the ELIZA Centaur analyzer was used. Glucose level was measured by using enzymatic colorimetric method. the patients were divided into five groups according to type of ACS: Extensive MI, Anteroseptal MI, Anterior MI, Inferior MI, and Unstable angina. Electrocardiography and Echocardiography were performed upon hospital admission for each patient. Results: This study included 70 patients with mean±SD of age was (58.77±11.45) years ranged from (25-84) years divided into two groups: Male group included 52(74.3%) patients, and female group included 18 (25.7%) patients. The patients with ACS were found to have significantly higher mean (± SEM) value of serum NTPROBNP concentrations (p=0.0144) as compared with mean (± SEM) value of serum control group, There was significant difference in mean ( SEM) value of NT-PROBNP concentrations among the five patients groups,(P-value=0.0255). The patients with ACS were found to have significantly higher mean (±SEM) value of serum hs-CRP concentrations (p=0.002) as compared with mean (±SEM) value of serum control group. There was significant difference in mean( SEM) value of hs-CRP concentrations among the five patients groups, (Pvalue=0.0478). The mean (±SEM) value of serum hs-troponin I concentrations did not differ significantly (p=0.372) as compared with mean (±SEM) value of serum control group. There was non significant difference in mean( SEM) value of serum hs-troponin I concentrations among the five patients groups,(P-value=0.146). Conclusions: Analysis of NT-proBNP help emergency physicians in managing patients with a variety of conditions. They are primarily helpful in difficult-to-diagnose causes of dyspnea. They are a strong tool

This study investigated and compared the phytochemical constituents and antioxidant property of Phyllanthus amarus, Vernonia amygdalina, Carica papaya and Jatropha curcus which are commonly used in traditional medicine. This was achieved by evaluating the quantitative and qualitative presence of the phytochemicals and also determining the free radical scavenging potentials of the plant leaf extracts. The results of this study revealed that the leaf extracts of the test plants contain some proportions of important phytochemicals which includes alkaloids, tannins, saponins, flavonoids, phenols, steroids, glycosides, cardiac glycoside. In furtherance, it showed that the selected plants vary significantly in their percentage ferric reducing antioxidant potentials (FRAP) expressed in gallic acid equivalents(GAE) ranging from 63.624 ± 0.14 to 165.076 ± 0.24 mg/100g and all the sample extracts exhibited moderate to significant inhibition of 1,1 diphenyl-2-picryl-hydrazyl (DPPH) activity expressed in trolox equivalent (TAEC) ranging from 1.306±0.20 to 38.943± 0.11/100g. Considering all the parameters assayed, antioxidants capacities were significant in the sequence of P.amarus, V. amygdalina , J. curcas and C. Papaya. This current study shows that the test plants contain useful phytochemicals which makes them employable in traditional medical practices. However more work needs to be done to determine which of these phyto-constituents exert the greatest potency in therapeutic and antioxidant activities.

Fulvic acid is a natural material contained within soil that contains an ample amount of minerals and various functionalities such as antioxidation, currently making it a popular choice as a raw material for food, medicine and cosmetic products. Therefore, the research is to develop functional cosmetics for the prevention of skin aging by using fulvic acid, a natural humic substance that is effective in improving whitening and wrinkle. However, adenosine, edelweiss-cultured natural extracts, Niacinamide, Bio-AHP 500H, etc. are mixed in the cream to minimize the effective chelate reaction. Also,stable production was proposed including weight-measuring scale, stirring AGi adjustment and etc. that are performed for a smooth chelate reaction of crude fulvic acid solution. Furthermore, various tests such as including a skin cell safety test, collagen synthesis test, wrinkle improvement-related gene expression analysis test, anti-aging and antioxidative effect test and melanin synthesis inhibition test are performed and showed an outstanding level of performance in all tests. Finally, the cream has been tested on 5 items, criteria of quality assessment in cosmetic testing by the Ministry of Food & Drug safety, which are lead, arsenic, mercury, methanol, etc. and have passed all the inspection criteria.

II. Natural History: “Most patients with gallstones remain asymptomatic throughout life. Around 3% of asymptomatic individuals become symptomatic per year and develop biliary colic. Once symptomatic they develop recurrent episodes of biliary colic. Only few patients without biliary symptoms develop complications. Prophylactic cholecystectomy for asymptomatic cholelithiasis is rarely indicated. Elderly patients with diabetes mellitus, individuals who will be isolated from medical care for a prolonged period of time, Gall bladder polyp > 1 cm are indications for prophylactic cholecystectomy.
