Although erythrophagocytosis by various species of Entamoeba is a well known phenomenon this has not yet been studied in detail at the ultrastructural level. The present work deals with the description of the incorporation process of erythrocytes by trophozoites of E. histolytica. For this study, trophozoites of E. histolytica, HK-9:NIH strain cultured in axenic conditions and washed human erythrocytes were placed on a hot plate at 37°C in physiological saline solution. After 5 minutes, 2.5% glutarldehyde was added and the samples were processed according to conventional techniques for electron microscopy.Based upon light microscopy studies on living trophozoites in contact with erythrocytes, it seems that erythrophagocytosis only takes place in one pole of the parasite.

Immunoelectron microscopy of neoplastic lymphoma cells is valuable for precise localization of surface antigens and identification of cell types. We have developed a new approach in which the immunohistochemical staining can be evaluated prior to embedding for EM and desired area subsequently selected for ultrathin sectioning.A freshly prepared lymphoma cell suspension is spun onto polylysine hydrobromide- coated glass slides by cytocentrifugation and immediately fixed without air drying in polylysine paraformaldehyde (PLP) fixative. After rinsing in PBS, slides are stained by a 3-step immunoperoxidase method. Cell monolayer is then fixed in buffered 3% glutaraldehyde prior to DAB reaction. After the DAB reaction step, wet monolayers can be examined under LM for presence of brown reaction product and selected monolayers then processed by routine methods for EM and embedded with the Chien Re-embedding Mold. After the polymerization, the epoxy blocks are easily separated from the glass slides by heatingon a 100°C hot plate for 20 seconds.

Tetrazole Derivatives

The creation of novel drugs containing a tetrazole ring as a structural fragment has contributed considerably to the outstanding achievements of the pharmaceutical chemistry in the last decade. Tetrazoles are the heterocyclic compounds having diverse biological activities such as analgesic, antiinflammation, antimicrobial, anticancer, antidiabetic, etc., and an impending source in biosciences. In this paper, the authors describe the synthesis of novel tetrazoles from N, N-( 6-Phenyl-1,3,5-triazine-2,4-diyl) dibenzamide (PTDDB) and 2-phenyl-4, 6-di(2H-tetrazole-2-yl)-1,3,5-triazine(5a-i) were prepared per the proposed scheme. A new class of tetrazole heterocycles were synthesised and characterised. I n vivo analysis was carried out on the analgesic property of synthesised tetrazole derivatives (5a, 5b, 5c). Characterisation studies such as IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, Mass and elemental analysis were performed for the synthesised tetrazole derivatives. Some of the tetrazole derivatives 5a, 5b, and 5c were tested for anodyne activity using morphine as the standard drug. The data reveals that all the three compounds 5a, 5b and 5c taken for the study show analgesic activity by hot plate method and tail flick methods. Among tested compounds, compound 5c is found to have potent analgesic (anodyne) activity. The results of the study indicate that the sample taken for the study show fairly good business using morphine as the standard drug.

Plant Parts

Opuntia ficus-indica(the cactus or prickly pear) is a cactus belonging to the Opuntiae family. Several Opuntiae plant parts have been used in traditional Moroccan medicine. In this study, we investigated its most common use as an analgesic. An ethnobotanical study ofOpuntia ficus-indicawas first conducted in 10 areas in Morocco. Extracts fromOpuntia ficus-indicacladodes were obtained using a decoction method and its analgesic activity in mice was investigated by the hot plate and tail flick methods. Cladode extracts had significant (p<0.05) analgesic activity at intraperitoneal doses of 300, 500, and 1000 mg/kg body weight. Both methods revealed significantly increased latency at all three doses (p<0.05) compared to controls. These data suggest that the traditional use of this plant as an analgesic is valid; in fact, perhaps it may be a centrally-acting analgesic.
