A flor de seda (Calotropis procera) é uma espécie conhecida como invasora, tolerante a ambiente adverso, nativa da África e do sudoeste asiático e popularizada no Brasil como Ciúme, Saco de Velho, Paina e Flor de Seda. Destacada pelo uso como forrageira, medicinal e até na indústria têxtil, ainda necessita de estudos que viabilizem seu cultivo comercial. Objetivou-se avaliar os efeitos da secagem e reidratação das sementes na emergência e seu crescimento inicial, em trabalho conduzido entre setembro e outubro de 2018. O delineamento foi blocos ao acaso, com 04 repetições e os tratamentos consistiram do arranjo fatorial 2 x 5, sendo o primeiro fator a condição da semente no plantio (recém colhida ou desidratada por 48 horas) e o segundo a hidratação (00, 02, 04, 06 e 08 horas). Em cada situação realizaram-se determinações de ganho e perda de umidade.  Sementes recém colhidas apresentam teor de umidade em torno de 70% e desidratadas próximo de 35%. Quando reidratadas, ainda ocorre, nos dois casos, ganho de umidade respectivamente de 18,13 e 43,33 %. A reidratação melhora o vigor das sementes recém colhidas não influindo nas desidratadas e não interferindo na emergência total que atinge 90%.  A secagem não influi na profundidade da raiz, mas reduz drasticamente altura, peso da matéria fresca da parte aérea e raiz entre 27 e 210%.

: In this research, the extraction of essential oil from Calotropis Procera with the family name of Asclepiadaceae, by supercritical carbon dioxide (CO2) solvent has been investigated in detail, and the yield and chemical profile of the extracts achieved by this method were compared with those resulted by the conventional Hydro distillation method. To optimize the process parameters of CO2 supercritical extraction (SCE) of the Calotropis Procera, the Response Surface Methodology (RSM) with central composite design (CCD) was employed. The effects of temperature, pressure, and extraction time on the oil yield are considered for investigation. Results showed that the data were sufficiently fitted into the second-order polynomial model. The extraction conditions, including pressure, temperature, and extraction time, were studied between 150-200 bar, 40-50 ºC, and 50-100 min, respectively. The optimal conditions are achieved as the temperature of 47.19ºC, the pressure of 172.2 bar, and time of 86 minutes with the retrieval rate of 31.39%.

Otomycosis denotes diffuse otitis externa due to fungal infections. The fungii are usually secondary invaders of the tissue rendered susceptible by bacterial infection, physical injury or excessive accumulation of cerumen in the external auditory canal. Karnasraava means discharge from ear which can be correlated with otorrhoea. Karnasraava (discharge) is one of symptom of otomycosis. Arka Taila has been mentioned in Shaarangadhara is very simple formula having ingredients i.e. Haridraa (Curcuma longa), Arka Patra Swarasa (Calotropis procera) and Sarshapa Taila (Brassica campetries). The quality control parameters resulted after scientific evaluation of Arka Taila can be used as reference standard for quality control or quality assurance of a pharmaceutical industry in order to have a proper quality check over its preparation and processing.

The formation of new scaffolds to enhance healing magnitude is necessarily required in biomedical applications. Granulation tissue formation is a crucial stage of wound healing in which granulation tissue grows on the surface of a wound by the formation of connective tissue and blood vessels. In the present study, porous hydrogels were synthesized using chitosan incorporating latex of the Calotropis procera plant by using a freeze–thaw cycle to stimulate the formation of granulation tissue and angiogenesis in wound healing applications. Structural analysis through Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy confirmed the interaction between chitosan and Calotropis procera. Latex extract containing hydrogel showed slightly higher absorption than the control during water absorption analysis. Thermogravimetric analysis showed high thermal stability of the 60:40 combination of chitosan (CS) and Calotropis procera as compared to all other treatments and controls. A fabricated scaffold application on a chick chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) showed that all hydrogels containing latex extract resulted in a significant formation of blood vessels and regeneration of cells. Overall, the formation of connective tissues and blood capillaries and healing magnitude decreased in ascending order of concentration of extract.
