A study has been conducted to investigate the effect of two local herbs in Indonesia; Areca catechu nut and Sauropus androgynous leaf, combined with mineral block to treat gastro intestinal nematode in goats. A.catechu is well known to have anthelmintic property due to its alkaloid and tannin content, and S.androgynus also contains tannin, alkaloid and steroid that will enhance the anthelmintic property of those herbals.  As many as 80 goats had been divided into 4 groups; 20 were treated with albendazole (Group A), 20 were given A.catechu and S.androgynus (Group B), 20 were given combination of A.catechu, S.androgynus, and mineral block (Group C), and 20 as negative control (Group D). The result revealed that herbal treatment showed significantly effective toward nematodes in gastro intestinal, demonstrated by declining egg worm of Group B and C. Body weight improvement and overall performance in Group C was higher compared to other groups. However, goats treated with albendazole showed slightly better results in the decreasing amount of egg worms found after treatment. Nevertheless, A.catechu and S.androgynus are potential anthelmintic herbal; combination with mineral block will enhance the anthelmintic activity. Therefore they are good options for treating helminthiasis in livestock.

Background: Zeolite is a microporous aluminosilicate compound which has been successfully used in tissue engineering. The effects of Zeolite on the morphology and functions of pre-osteoblastic MG-63 cells as new bone enhancer material is still unclear. Methods: In this vitro experimental study, MTT and Alizarin red staining test were performed on six groups of MG-63 cells which differed in Zeolite (Z) concentration and the presence or absence of Alloplast extract (A). Group A: 0.1μg/mL Z+A, Group B: 0.1μg/mL Z without A, Group C: 0.2μg/mL Z+A, Group D: 0.2μg/mL Z without A, Group E: 0.3μg/mL Z+A, Group F: 0.3μg/mL Z without A. There were also three control groups as positive control, negative control, and Alloplast control based on each related test. The data were analyzed by SPSS 20 via one-way ANOVA and Welch test. (P<0.05). Results: At 24 hours, results showed that solutions with 0.1μg/mL, 0.2μg/mL, and 0.3μg/mL Zeolite with or without Alloplast had significantly higher proliferation rates than positive control (distilled water) groups without Alloplast (p<0.001). At 72hours time point, the results showed significantly higher proliferation rates in the solutions with 0.1μg/mL, 0.2μg/mL, and 0.3μg/mL Zeolite with or without Alloplast compared to the positive control group without Alloplast (p<0.001). Conclusions: Zeolite can increase proliferation of MG-63 cells without presence of Alloplast; It seems that combination of Zeolite with Alloplast maybe enhancing proliferation and function of MG-63 cells.

Objective External humeral epicondylitis, also known as “tennis elbow”, is a chronic motor inflammation caused by non-normative movement or excessive pressure and torsion of the forearm tendon and bone. The external humeral epicondylitis occursmostly in tennis, badminton, table tennis, fencing, throwing, gymnastics and other sport programs. Because it has the highest incidence in tennis, everyone is used to call it "tennis elbow". Those who have repeatedly used force to do elbow activities in daily life, such as housewives, bricklayers, woodworkers, etc., are also susceptible to this disease. Therefore, the disease affects a large number of occupations and sports. The conventional medical nsurgery leads to a large wound area and a long recovery time, which is easy to shorten the sportlife of the patient. The conservative Chinese medicine ginger moxibustion therapy could clear the meridians and organs by stimulating the acupoint of the human body. This moxibustion therapy has the advantages of small trauma, low cost, comprehensive treatment and small side effects by adjusting the blood, and would not bring inconvenience to patients' daily life and normal exercises. This paper aims to use a conservative treatment-Traditional Chinese medicine ginger moxibustion and its composite therapy to rehabilitate the external humeral epicondylitis systematically and compare the rehabilitation effects of different compound therapy to provide a basis for tennis elbow’s rehabilitation. Methods Eighty-four tennis elbow patients were divided into three treatment groups and one control group randomly, subject and observer-double-blind, third-party evaluation. The treatment groups included a group of ginger moxibustion named A,a group of floating needle combined with ginger moxibustion named B, and a group of Yunnan BaiYao aerosol combined with ginger moxibustion named C, the control group named D, 21 people/group. In the treatment group A, acupuncture points were taken from A’shi, Quchi and Hand Sanli, ginger moxibustion treatment,5 moxibustion columns/time, once every other day, 5 times as a course of treatment, observethe effect after two courses; The group B was first treated with floating needles at three acupoints, and after 2 minutes treated as group A, 5 moxibustion columns each time, once every other day, 5 times as a course of treatment, observe the effect after two courses as well;The group C was first sprayed on Yunnan Baiyaoaeroso in three acupoints,two minutes later, treated as group A, use 5 moxibustion columns each time, once every other day, 5 times as a course of treatment, observe the effect after two courses. The control group was treated with ginger laser treatment at the same acupoints, keep as the same treatment as group A, observethe effect after two courses. The shoulder-arm-hand disability score (DASH) was use for the main observation index, and pain (VAS), painless grip strength (PFGS) and pressure pain threshold (PPT) were meanwhile used as secondary observation indicators. Results  Four sets of experimental data were submitted to Shandong University of Traditional Chinese Medicine. The analysis of results showed that patients in treatment groups improved their function and relieved the pain significantly much better than the ginger-fake laser control group within 3-12 months of treatment completion. In the treatment group, the total effective rate of the group A-- treated with ginger-free moxibustion was 80%, and the total effective rate of the group C --treated with Yunnan Bai Yao aerosol combined with ginger moxibustion was 85%,and the total effective rate of the group B--treatment with floating needle combined with ginger moxibustion was 92%, but the total effective rate of the control group was 10%. Conclusions The clinical recovery evaluation and index assessment results showed that ginger moxibustion and its combination therapy had significant curative effects on patients suffering external humeral epicondylitis. The addition of auxiliary means also promoted the rehabilitation effects, further proving the Traditional Chinese medical effects. The method could significantly improve the rehabilitation of external humeral epicondylitis. The research made a bold exploration for the multi-organizational cooperation mode of TCM compound therapy in the field of sport injury habilitation, and opened a new way for its application ofclinical research.

This study was undertaken to investigate the effect of sulphaclozine sodium and toltrazuril for the treatment of experimentally induced caecal coccidosis. Day-old chicks (n=96) reared in a coccidia free condition divided into six Groups (A, B, C, D, E and F) each having 4 subgroups of 4 chicks in each. At the age of 23 days the chicks were infected with 104 sporulated oocysts of E. tenella except control Group F and treated for 4 consecutive days from 3 days post infection. Then treatment was given in Group A (2 gm/L), B (3 gm/L) with sulphaclozine sodium and in Group C (1 ml/L), D (1.5 ml/L) with toltrazuril. Group E was maintained as infected, but untreated and Group F as negative control. After treatment Group A gained almost similar weight with Group F. A significantly higher (P<0.05) weight gain was recorded in Group A and B compared with Group C and D.The infected untreated chicks passed a large number of oocysts from day 5 till the end of the experiment. Chicks receiving sulphaclozine sodium (Groups A and B) had large oocysts count compared with the Groups C and D treated with toltrazuril but lower than the untreated chicks. At the end of experiment the lowest oocysts count was found in Group D (31.32 x 106) and highest in Group E (53.59 x106). Hence this study recommends to use sulphaclozine sodium and toltrazuril for chicken coccidiosis.J. Bangladesh Agril. Univ. 14(1): 57-61, June 2016

Abstract: Moringa (Moringa oleifera) is a traditional plant, which is known to treat liver disease. The effect of moringa is related to the antioxidant activity of its compounds such as quercetin and flavonoid silymarin which are useful as liver protector. Carbon tetraclorida is a hepatotoxic substance that is usually used as an inducer of liver damage in studies related to hepatoprotector activity of a substance. This study aimed to describe liver histopathological features of Wistar rats fed with moringa leaf extract after CCl4 induction. This was an experimental study using 24 Wistar rats (Rattus norvegicus) which were divided into 4 groups. Group A, the negative control, was terminated at day 6th, and the other groups (B, C, and D) were induced with CCl4 0.05 cc/day for 5 days. After CCl4 induction, group B were terminated at day 6th; group C was treated with moringa leaf extract 100 mg/day for 5 days and was terminated at day 11th; group D received no treatment for 5 days and was terminated at day 11th. The results showed that groups induced with CCl4 for 5 days showed the presence of inflammatory cells and fatty cells. The groups treated with moringa leaf extract 100mg/day for 5 days after CCl4 induction 0.05 cc/day exhibited regeneration of liver cells in nearly all lobules. Conclusion: Administration of moringa leaf extract of 100mg/day could accelerate liver cell regeneration of Wistar rats after induction of CCl4 0.05cc/day.Keywords: moringa leaf extract, carbon tetrachloride, histopathologogical image of liverAbstrak: Kelor merupakan tanaman tradisional yang diketahui dapat mengobati penyakit hati.
