Abstract Background Several local communities in Central, Western, Eastern, and Northern regions of Uganda have been using the whole leaf extracts of Aloe vera (L.) Burm. f. (Asphodelaceae) in the treatment of various ailments. Also, several commercial companies sell A. vera as soft drinks in Uganda. However, there are inadequate reports on the toxicities of such preparations. This paper reports the acute and sub-acute oral toxicity of aqueous extracts of whole leaf and green rind of A. vera in Wistar rats. Methods Acute oral toxicity test was carried out in female Wistar rats at doses of 175, 550, 1750, and 5000 mg/kg, p.o. The animals were observed for signs of toxicity for 14 days. Similarly, a sub-acute oral toxicity test was performed in both sexes of rats at doses of 200, 400, and 800 mg/kg, p.o. daily for 28 days. All the groups of animals were monitored for behavioral, morphological, biochemical, and physiological changes, including mortality and compared with respective controls. Body weights were measured weekly while the animals’ relative organ weights, hematological, biochemical, gross, and microscopic pathology were examined on day 29. Results There was no mortality or apparent behavioral changes at the doses tested in acute and sub-acute oral toxicity tests. Thus, the Median Lethal Dose (LD50) of green rind and whole leaf aqueous extracts was above 5000 mg/kg. Gross anatomy revealed that the rats’ relative spleen weight in green rind extract at 200 mg/kg significantly decreased compared to the control group. The creatinine levels in female rats that received green rind extract and the chloride ion levels in male rats administered whole leaf extract were significantly elevated. Conversely, Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin Concentration (MCHC) levels significantly decreased at lower doses of the green rind extract compared to the control. Histopathology of the kidney revealed the renal interstitium’s inflammation at doses of 200 and 800 mg/kg of the whole leaf extract. Conclusion The findings demonstrated that A. vera green rind and whole leaf extracts are non-toxic at relatively high doses when used for a short duration. Prolonged use of the aqueous whole leaf extract might be associated with kidney toxicity.

Tumbuhan obat saat ini masih dipergunakan untuk perawatan tubuh, diantaranya untuk rambut. Penelitian bertujuan menganalisis penggunaan beragam jenis tumbuhan obat untuk perawatan rambut oleh suku Dayak Kantuk di Desa Seluan Kabupaten Kapuas Hulu. Penelitian menggunakan metode survey melalui wawancara terhadap masyarakat suku Dayak Kantuk di Desa Seluan. Pengambilan sampel dengan teknik purposive sampling dengan jumlah responden 146 orang. Sebanyak 15 jenis tumbuhan obat dimanfaatkan oleh suku Dayak Kantuk. Penggunaan bagian tumbuhan tertinggi adalah buah (46,67%) dengan cara pengolahan ditumbuk (50%), cara penggunaan dioles (93,33%), dan bentuk ramuan tunggal (73,33%). Jenis tanaman dengan nilai penggunaan (use value, UV) tertinggi yaitu lidah buaya (Aloe vera) (0,28), sedangkan family importance value (FIV) tertinggi yaitu Arecaceae (28,37). Nilai informants concensus factor (ICF) tertinggi terdapat pada kategori mengatasi rambut bercabang (1,00). Nilai fidelity level (FL) tertinggi (100%) pada kategori penggunaan menghitamkan rambut dengan jenis tanaman yaitu pepaya (Carica papaya), menyuburkan rambut yaitu seledri (Apium graveolens), melembutkan rambut yaitu sawit (Elaeis guineensis) dan bunga kembang sepatu (Hibiscus rosasinensis), menghilangkan ketombe yaitu daun pare (Momordica charantia), jeruk nipis (Citrus aurantifolia) dan mengkudu (M. citrifolia), mengatasi rambut berkutu yaitu akar tuba (Paraderris elliptica), dan mengatasi rambut bercabang yaitu daun bambu (Bambusa vulgaris). Penggunaan beragam jenis tumbuhan obat oleh suku Dayak Kantuk untuk perawatan rambut menambah pengetahuan tumbuhan obat masyarakat di Kalimantan Barat.    Kata kunci: Dayak Kantuk; perawatan rambut; tumbuhan obat  ABSTRACTThe utilization of medicinal plants for hair care by Dayak Kantuk Tribe in Seluan Village Kapuas Hulu District. Haircare is one of the body treatments that still use the medicinal plants. The purpose of the study was to analyze the use of various medicinal plants for haircare by the Dayak Kantuk tribe in Seluan Village, Kapuas Hulu Regency. This present study uses a survey method through interviews with the Dayak Kantuk people in Seluan Village (146 respondents and selected using the purposive sampling technique). The Dayak Kantuk people in Seluan village use 15 medicinal plants for their haircare. The highest use of plant parts was fruit (46.67%) with crushed in the processing method (50%), the administration method was topically (93.33%), and the potions are mainly a single ingredient (73.33%). The plant with the highest use value (UV) was Aloe vera (0.28), while the highest family importance value (FIV) was Arecaceae (28.37). The highest informant consensus factor (ICF) was in the haircare treatment category of ameliorating split ends (1,00). There are six haircare treatment categories with the highest fidelity level (FL) (100%) and plant used, namely: maintaining black hair (Carica papaya), hair nourishing (Apium graveolens), hair softener (Elaeis guineensis and Hibiscus rosa-sinensis), dandruff elimination (Momordica charantia, Citrus aurantifolia, and Morinda citrifolia), hair lice elimination (Paraderris elliptica), and ameliorating split end (Bambusa vulgaris). The use of various species of medicinal plants by the Dayak Kantuk tribe for haircare adds to the knowledge of medicinal plants in West Kalimantan. Keywords: Dayak Kantuk; haircare; medicinal plants

Present work deals with synthesis of copper nanoparticles at the room temperature, using two aqueous extracts prepared from green and dry leaves of Aloe vera and Geranium (Pelargonium graveolens). Finely cut leaves were placed in the flask with the distilled water. The mixture was boiled for 15 min at the temperature of 60°C. After boiling, the mixture was centrifuged and pure extract was used for copper nanoparticles synthesis. The source of copper ions was leaching solution obtained from the bioleaching of copper shale (Kupferschiefier) using chemolithotrophic bacteria such as Acidithiobacillusfrerooxidans. The bioleaching procedure was performed in the column reactor.

El objetivo de esta investigación fue evaluar la conservación de la papaya con aplicación de bacterias ácidos lácticas provenientes del mucilago de cacao, se utilizaron diferentes porcentajes de aplicación (0, 5, 10 %) por aspersión a temperatura ambiente 35°C, se valoró el cambio en las características físicas, químicas, y microbiológicas en un lapso de 14 días, el peso de la papaya fluctuó entre 1 – 1.4 kg, considerando una madurez de cosecha. Se realizó un Diseño Completamente al Azar (DCA) con arreglo bifactorial AxB, para la comparación de medias de los tratamientos a estudiar se utilizó la prueba de rangos de Tukey al 5%. Las variables evaluadas (pH, pérdida de peso, acidez) dio como resultado que el tratamiento T9 (10% BAL; 14 Días) fue el que mantuvo mejores propiedades de almacenamiento transcurrido el tiempo de 14 días de conservación, el color de la fruta se mantuvo en niveles adecuados.
