Conclusions:
With the variation observed among ethnic groups and gender groups for indigenous knowledge and preference in fruits traits, a multiple breeding sampling strategy is recommended during germplasm collection and multiplication. This approach will promote sustainable use and conservation of ackee genetic resources. (Source: Journal of Ethnobiology and Ethnomedicine)

Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions:
The need for nutritive and agronomic investigations into major feeds, the creation of non-cropping zones around village fringes and studies on labour demands of different feed systems are proposed. The insight gained in this study on farmers' perceptions and practices relating to small ruminant feeds could guide in the selection and introduction of feed innovations that fit into current feed systems to enhance adoption.

This was a well-conducted review and the authors' conclusions are appropriately cautious.

Discuss or comment on this article.
The investigation of plant mixtures used in traditional medicine in Northern Peru yielded a total of 974 herbal preparations used to treat 164 different afflictions. Psychosomatic disorders were, with almost 30% of all recipes applied, the most important afflictions treated. In most cases, healers used only one or two mixtures to treat an illness. However, up to 49 different preparations were used to treat the same disease. This indicates a high degree of experimentation. Altogether 330 plant species, representing almost 65% of the medicinal flora used in the region were applied in mixtures. The overwhelming number of plan...

Save this article to My Clippings.
Discuss or comment on this article.
Osteoarthritis is characterized by inflammation and increased production of pro-inflammatory mediators including cytokines and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2). Macrophage-like cells in synovial tissue produce these mediators which induce degradative enzymes that break down cartilage. We determined whether avocado/soybean unsaponifiables (ASU) and chondroitin sulfate (CS) can inhibit cytokine expression and PGE2 production using monocyte/macrophage-like cell models. Cells were incubated for 24 hours with either control media alone, ASU alone (NMX1000; 8.3 μg/ml), CS alone (TRH122; 20 μg/ml), or a combination of both preparations....

Relevant properties have been detected in protein fraction (LP) isolated from latex of Calotropis procera. In order to best characterize LP potentiality, this work describes some effects of LP on central nervous system (CNS). Three models were performed: elevated plus maze (EPM), open field (OF), and hole-board (HB) tests. LP was administered intraperitoneally to male mice. To assess the probable action mechanism, drugs acting on glutamatergic (ketamine, i.p.), gabaergic (diazepam and flumazenil, i.p.) and dopaminergic (haloperidol, i.p.) systems were used on OF. Decreases in the number of entries in the open and closed ar...

Extracts of two germplasm lines of St. John's wort (SJW; Hypericum perforatum L.) selected for enhanced hypericin and hyperforin content were evaluated for potential activity against colon cancer. Bioactivity was assessed in signaling pathways of tumor necrosis factor-a (TNF-α) and nuclear transcription factor-κB (NF-κB) in HT-29 colon cancer cells. Both extracts and the hypericin standard significantly inhibited growth of HT-29 cells. Levels of active NF-κB were reduced in cells treated with either of the plant extracts or hypericin, but the purified hyperforin standard was comparatively ineffective. The combination o...

Conclusion:
There were two distinctly different patterns for the time period between visits for MC patients and non-MC patients. For non-MC patients, the most frequent interval between visits was one week and for MC patients, the period was typically between two weeks and three months. It was primarily the chiropractor who made the next visit-decision. However, these results can perhaps not be extrapolated to other groups of patients and chiropractors.
