Abstract Background Numerous uses of Waltheria indica plant such as antitrypanosomal, antibacterial and antimalarial effects have been reported. It has however been reported that most plants with antibacterial and antiprotozoal effects have adverse effect on male reproduction. Hence, we evaluated the effect of Waltheria indica root on male reproductive parameters. Methods Twenty adult male Wistar rats were randomly divided into four groups (n=5); A–D. Group A served as control group while groups B, C and D were administered with 200, 400 and 800 mg/Kg body weight of crude ethanolic extract of Waltheria indica root. After 28 days of administration, the rats were sacrificed and sperm parameters, sperm morphology, serum reproductive hormones and lipids were determined. Results There was a significant reduction in sperm count and motility as well as significant increase in percentage abnormal sperm cell (p<0.001) at the 400 and 800 mg/kg BW. The serum levels of testosterone was also significantly reduced while total cholesterol increased significantly (p<0.05) at the highest dose. Conclusion Waltheria indica root has adverse effect on male reproduction through reduction in sperm parameters and male reproductive hormones.

Enhydra fluctuations an edible semi-aquatic vegetable plant are widely used in the traditional system of medicine. Ethanolic extract of Enhydra fluctuans was screened for analgesic & anti-inflammatory activity. Analgesic activity was evaluated by the hot plate method and anti-inflammatory activity was evaluated by formalin induce paw edema in Wistar rats (male). Ethanolic extract dose of 300 mg/kg reduce formalin induce paw inflammation and also increased the pain threshold in rats evidenced by hot plate method. The experimental results concluded that Enhydra fluctuans have significant analgesic and anti-inflammatory activity may due to flavonoid and phenolic compound content.

Syzygium campanulatum and Syzygium aromaticum contains antioxidant components suchas flavonoids, phenolic, and terpenoids. May have hepatoprotective properties in reducing SGPT and SGOT activity. This research wants to determine the potency of hepatoprotective of ethanolic extract of Syzygium campanulatum (Korth) and Syzygium aromaticum leaf compared with curcuma tablets. This research uses 24 male Wistar rats divided into 6 groups: I, II, III (as a normal, induction, and compared control), group IV, V, VI were treated 105, 210, and 420 mg/kg BW respectively. The study was conducted for 9 days. After 7 days of treatment, treated groups were exposed by hepatotoxic dose of paracetamol (2000 mg/kg BW). The SGPT and SGOT activity of all groups was measured by enzimatic assay. The result can be concluded that Syzygium campanulatum extract was found to be active as hepatoprotective agent with 210 mg/kg BW dosage (SGPT 21.76 ± 3.98 U/L and SGOT 7.32±6.74U/L) as eff ective as with the curcuma tablets (SGPT 23.91 ± 4.41 U/L and SGOT 14.12±5.37 U/L) and the hepatoprotective activity of Syzygium campanulatum extract at a dosage 420 mg/kg BW better than curcuma tablets (SGPT 12.43 ± 6.51 U/L and SGOT 6.64 ± 5.88 U/L).

The study evaluated the pharmacognostic characters and toxicity of the aqueous ethanolic extract of Bambusa vulgaris leaf in male wistar rats. The microscopy of the leaf revealed diagnostic characters such as anomocytic stomata, sinuous epidermal cells, numerous prisms of calcium oxalate crystals and covering trichomes. Histopathological examination revealed no significant adverse effects on the lungs, kidneys and the spleens after fourteen days oral administration of the extract at 250 and 500 mg/kg doses. Haematological evaluation however revealed a significant 31% reduction (p<0.05) in packed cell volume and a significant 31% increase (p<0.05) in white blood cell count at 500 mg/kg. The results suggest that administration of B. vulgaris extract may possess low toxicity when used.Keywords: Bambusa vulgaris, Toxicity, Microscopy, Standardization, Histology

Periodontitis adalah inflamasi kronis yang disebabkan oleh bakteri periodontopatogen. Pada periodontitis terjadi peningkatan infiltrasi neutrofil yang berfungsi untuk memfagositosis bakteri yang menginfiltrasi jaringan gingiva. Kulit manggis mempunyai bahan aktif yaitu xanton yang mempunyai efek antiinflamasi dengan jalan menghambat sintesis PGE2 sehingga akan menurunkan infiltrasi sel inflamasi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui infiltrasi sel neutrofil pada periodontitis setelah pemberian ekstrak etanolik kulit manggis. Tikus wistar jantan sebanyak empat puluh delapan ekor diinduksi periodontitis dengan ligasi pada daerah subgingiva gigi anterior rahang bawah selama 7 hari. Setelah hari ke-7, ligasi dilepas selanjutnya tikus dibagi menjadi 4 kelompok perlakuan yaitu ekstrak kulit manggis 30 mg/kg BB dan 60 mg/kg BB, ibuprofen dan saline. Tikus dikorbankan pada hari ke-1, 3, 5 dan 7 setelah perlakuan. Jaringan pada bagian anterior rahang bawah ditanam dalam paraffin dan dilakukan pemotongan serial kemudian diwarnai dengan hematoxylin eosin. Jumlah neutrofil dihitung di bawah mikroskop dengan perbesaran 400x. Data jumlah neutrofil dianalisa dengan Two Way Anova. Hasil Two Way Anova menunjukkan perbedaan yang bermakna rerata sel neutrofil antar kelompok perlakuan (p<0,05) mengindikasikan pemberian ekstrak etanolik kulit manggis berpengaruh terhadap jumlah sel neutrofil. Dapat disimpulkan bahwa pemberian ekstrak etanolik kulit manggis mampu menurunkan infiltrasi sel neutrofil pada tikus yang diinduksi periodontitis.Neutrophil infiltration in rats with periodontitis after the granting of Ethanolic Extract Skin Mangosteen. Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease caused by periodontopathic bacteria. When periodontitis occurs are followed by neutrophil infiltration. Mangosteen rind contains xanthone, an anti-inflammatory substance which inhibits the synthesis of PGE2 and therefore reduces inflammatory cells infiltration. This research aimed to study neutrophil cells infiltration in experimental-induced periodontitis rats after mangosteen rind ethanolic extract administration. Forty-eight male wistar rats were induced the periodontitis by putting silk ligature subgingivally around the neck of the anterior lower teeth for seven days. After the ligation had been taken out, the rats were divided into four groups and treated orally with mangosteen rind extract 60 mg/kg BB, 30 mg/kg BB, ibuprofen, and saline. The rats were sacrificed on the 1st, 3rd, 4th, seventh day after the treatment. Their anterior lower jaws were processed for paraffin embedded tissue, cut serially and stained with hematoxylin-eosin. The neutrophil cells were observed and counted under the microscope (400x). The data were analyzed using Anova. Anova result showed a significant difference among group (p<0,05) indicating that mangosteen rind ethanolic extract affected the number of neutrophils. In conclusion, mangosteen rind ethanolic extract reduced the number of neutrophil infiltration in periodontitis rats.
