Continuing the examination of the physiological action of various pure organic nitrites of the paraffin series (Part I ; ‘Roy. Soc. Proc.,’ 1891), the authors have studied their effect on striated muscular tissue. When the vapours of these nitrites come into contact with the muscle a paralysant effect is observed.

1. It diminishes oxidation, and thus prevents fresh vegetable tissues from communicating a blue colour to tincture of guaiac. 2. It does not hinder the development of the yeast-fungus nor the germination of seeds. Penicillium grows freely in a solution of it. 3. A watery solution of the alcoholic extract prevents the development of Bacteria , but one of the watery extract does not do so. 4. It does not destroy the life of Bacteria or Infusoria. The motion of cilia is not arrested by it. 5. It arrests amœboid movement in leucocytes. 6. It has no action on fresh muscular fibre; but muscular tissue, when kept in a solution of the alcoholic extract for some days, undergoes extensive fatty metamorphosis, but does not become putrid.

Akway (Drimys piperita Hook f.) is the woody, evergreen and aromatic plant that is member of winteraceae family. This plant is used for medical purpose by Sougb tribe lived in Sururey village, Manokwari District. The medical value of the plant lies in some phytochemical substances that produce a definite physiological action on human body. The objective of the research was to know phenol, flavonoid and terpenoid content of akway leaves extracted by methanol. The results indicated that extract methanol of akway leaves contains total phenol 186.40 mg/g and flavonoid 70 mg/g. The main terpenoid compound composed extract was caryophyllene in concentration of 37.09%.

Muscular tissue regeneration may be enhanced in vitro by means of mechanical stimulation, inducing cellular alignment and the growth of functional fibers. In this work, a novel bioreactor is designed for the radial stimulation of porcine-derived diaphragmatic scaffolds aiming at the development of clinically relevant tissue patches. A Finite Element (FE) model of the bioreactor membrane is developed, considering two different methods for gripping muscular tissue patch during the stimulation, i.e., suturing and clamping with pliers. Tensile tests are carried out on fresh and decellularized samples of porcine diaphragmatic tissue, and a fiber-reinforced hyperelastic constitutive model is assumed to describe the mechanical behavior of tissue patches. Numerical analyses are carried out by applying pressure to the bioreactor membrane and evaluating tissue strain during the stimulation phase. The bioreactor designed in this work allows one to mechanically stimulate tissue patches in a radial direction by uniformly applying up to 30% strain. This can be achieved by adopting pliers for tissue clamping. Contrarily, the use of sutures is not advisable, since high strain levels are reached in suturing points, exceeding the physiological strain range and possibly leading to tissue laceration. FE analysis allows the optimization of the bioreactor configuration in order to ensure an efficient transduction of mechanical stimuli while preventing tissue damage.
