In recent years, the interests of researchers are increased towards nanodrugs based on nanoparticles. The main direction of this work was to study the physicochemical, structural properties and stability of encapsulated nanoparticles, with the components from medicinal plants. Nanoparticles were obtained from the extract of the medicinal plant Сynara scolymus L. using a metal salt. Initial experimental data have shown that the originally obtained nanoparticles were not stable. Therefore, the nanoparticles were then stabilized with added sodium carboxymethylcellulose polysaccharide. It was found that new nanoencasulated nanoparticles with compounds from medicinal plants are very stable and can be a source of effective nanodrugs based on them.

Nowadays, the use of medicinal plants increased significantly for the aim of producing more effective drugs with fewer side effects. Gynura procumbens (family Asteraceae) is a high value medicinal plant with different properties that are considered less, regardless of having great therapeutic potential in traditional medicine. Many pharmacological studies have established the ability of this plant to exhibit antimicrobial, antioxidant, hepatoprotection, antigenotoxic, antiplasmodial, cytotoxic, cardioactive, antidiabetic, anti-inflammatory, etc. The aim of this study was to review the updated phytochemical, pharmacological investigations as well as the traditional and therapeutic uses of G. procumbens. Important and different experimental data have been addressed along with a review of most of the phytochemicals identified in this plant.

The NeuN protein is localized in nuclei and perinuclear cytoplasm of most of the neurons in the central nervous system of mammals. Monoclonal antibodies to the NeuN protein have been actively used in the immunohistochemical research of neuronal differentiation to assess the functional state of neurons in norm and pathology for more than 20 years. Recently, NeuN antibodies have begun to be applied in the differential morphological diagnosis of cancer. However, the structure of the protein, which can be revealed by antibodies to NeuN, remained unknown until recently, and the functions of the protein are still not fully clear. In the present mini-review, data on NeuN accumulated so far are summarized and analyzed. Data on the structure and properties of the protein, its isoforms, intracellular localization, and hypothesized functions are reported. The application field of immunocytochemical detection of NeuN in scientific and clinical studies, as well as the difficulties in the interpretation of the obtained experimental data and their possible causes, is described in details.

The indigenous knowledge of the Basotho makes it simple for this speech community to name their traditional medicinal plants in such a way that they are meaningful; this could also be viewed as an empowerment technique, especially in the economic sphere. Their medicinal plants names seem to be idiomatic and to express certain philosophies of the Basotho society. Creativity is observable in this kind of naming, and many names allude to the kind of remedy that is associated with the medicinal plant. It is therefore the interest of this paper to consider the names of medical plants among the Basotho whose names allude to the remedy they provide. The names of Sesotho medicinal plants and the reasoning of the Basotho in general behind the name and the use of each medicinal plant will be discussed in this article. This paper will further preserve and promote the use of Basotho traditional medicines for the future generation.

Evaluation of Iraqi medicinal plants is very crucial to help people avoid the use of herbs without prior knowledge which results in many side effects and sometimes even leads to death. The plant constituents vary according to season, weather and type of soil, therefore it is necessary to evaluate the chemical constituents and determine the time of collection of medicinal plants. In this research evaluation of the medicinal plant Calendula officinal grown in Iraq was performed by measuring the quantity of hyperoside found in the plant together with macroscopical and microscopical evaluation of the plant.

Controversy in identification of medicinal plants has been a problem since ages. When we refer the classical text like Caraka Samhita, it becomes important to know the exact medicinal plant mentioned in the formulation or treatment. The controversy regarding a plant is found to be of two types mainly. Single classical plant having multiple botanical identities eg. Parpata, Rasna, Amlavetasa, Bharangi, Pasanabheda Botanically identified single plant with multiple classical identities eg. Bacopa monnieri, Clitoria ternatea The plants of this study fall under second category. The plants C.viscosa, Linn. and G.gynandra, Linn. are having multiple classical identities like Ajagandha, Tilaparni, Suvarcala, Brahmasuvarcala and Adityabhakta. An effort is made to resolve the controversy by comparing the information of these plants from classical Ayurvedic texts and Modern texts in this article.   Method: Compilation of all the data from Literature Comparision of classical data with viscosa and G.gynandra characteristics Conclusion is made on the basis of observations   Observation and Conclusion: Comparisons of all the above discussed classical plants with Cloeme viscosa, Linn. and Gynandropsis gynandra, Linn. shows Ajagandha being similar to Gynandropsis and Tilaparni being similar to Cleome.

Twenty-one strains of Arthrinium were cultured from leaf samples of ten medicinal plant hosts in Yunnan Province, China. Morphological and multi-locus ITS+TUB+TEF1 sequence analyses revealed that the strains represented two previously described species (A. paraphaeospermum and A. rasikravindrae) and two new species: Arthrinium cordylines, which produces subglobose conidia that are shorter and wider than A. aureum but larger than A. hydei, and Arthrinium pseudomarii, which produces subglobose to ellipsoid conidia narrower than A. hispanicum, A. marii, and A. mediterranei.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the insecticidal effect of aqueous, alcoholic, and oil extracts from leaves of eight medicinal plants against Diabrotica speciosa prepared at five concentrations. The extracts that used commercial soybean oil as solvent showed the highest D. speciosa mortality due to the solvent itself, regardless of the used plants and their concentrations. Thus, commercial soybean oil was discarded as solvent since at these volumes it would cause serious phytotoxicity problems. After 24 hours of exposure of the pest to the extracts, the highest D. speciosa mortality values were observed for Copaifera langsdorfii and Chenopodium ambrosioides extracts, both in 5% alcohol, and Artemisia verlotorum, in 10% water. However, in the last mortality assessment (48 h), C. langsdorfii extract in 5% alcohol showed higher mortality of this pest, followed by C. ambrosioides extract in 5% alcohol, compared to the remaining plants.

Gardener in the industrial landscape has limited knowledge and experience in managing the environment. Meanwhile, there are areas in the industrial landscape that can be developed into thematic parks. The purpose of this activity is to train gardener in designing and constructing parks that have good visual quality. The living pharmacy park is a concept park that is trying to be developed. This park is dominated by a collection of medicinal plants or often also called the family medicinal plant garden (Tanaman Obat Keluarga - TOGA). The method used are a workshop and Focus Group Discussion (FGD). The area of land that is used as a place for design and construction activities is 720.3 m2. The design process starts from an inventory of existing conditions, then analyzed and synthesized to get the appropriate park design. After the design results were agreed upon, a park was developed. Park development must be in accordance with the results of the design. However, the obstacle faced is that there are some problems that are not properly inventoried and found during development. Even though, the results of the construction of the park are still quite in accordance with the results of the design. Keywords: Gardener, Living Pharmacy Park, Medicinal Plant, Visual Quality
