Piper nigrum and Ferula foetida shows Significant Antisecretory and Anti Ulce...BRNSS Publication Hub
In the present study, the gastroprotective mechanism of aqueous extract of Piper nigrum and Ferula foetida (AEPF) was investigated. In the current study AEPF showed significant anti ulcer activity in rats. The antiulcerogenic impact of the AEPF is also associated with its antisecretory action since acid may be a major consideration of the event of ulceration. The current data also clearly demonstrated that 400 mg/kg is more effective than 200 mg/kg and 100 mg/kg dose of AEPF and has shown increased pH and decreased total acidity of gastric fluid. The ulcerogenic effect of cysteamine-induced duodenal ulcers was developed in rats that received cysteamine HCl 400 mg/kg. The exact mechanism of pathological process within the cysteamine-induced peptic ulcer model is not totally known, but hypersecretion of gastric acid, deterioration of mucosal resistance, and promotion of gastric emptying are among the possible mechanisms. In cold restraint stress-induced ulcer model, blood parameters such as glucose, cholesterol, and triglycerides were estimated. The significant increase in blood sugar level was discovered because, beneath nerve-racking conditions, ductless gland secretes corticosterone in man and glucocorticoid in rats. AEPF significantly reduced the elevated serum cholesterol and triglycerides levels, which may be due to inhibition of stimulation of the sympathetic nervous system. Therefore, it could act as a potent therapeutic agent against peptic ulcer disease.

Patient compliance: Challenges in management of cardiac diseases in Kuala Lum...pharmaindexing
Background
The objective of this study was to investigate the degree of compliance among cardiac patients who attend the health facilities in Kuala Lumpur and Perak, Malaysia. The reasons for non-compliance and recommendations from healthcare professionals were also evaluated.
Method
A cross-sectional study of 400 patients and 100 healthcare professionals was carried out. This study utilizes variables on external factors and internal factors as the measurement tools. The questionnaire which consists of Morisky self-reported medication adherence questions was administered to patients and causes for non-compliance sought. Questionnaire for healthcare professionals was used to determine strategies that can improve compliance rate.
Results
The study revealed a 15.8% of high adherence rate, 54.3% of moderate adherence rate and 30% of poor adherence to cardiovascular disease medications. The chi-square tests showed the strong association between dependent and independent variables. The model chosen for testing the patient compliance through external and internal factors gives an R2 value of 85.0% with an adjusted R2 of 84.7%. The F value (317.187) was also significant (p=0.000) which means that the variables have better fit in the multivariate model. The major reasons determined for non-adherence were attitudes and beliefs, lifestyle, side effects and cost of medications. The study recommends that pharmacists and dispensing technicians should be adequately qualified to provide proper counselling to cardiac patients on their medicines and disease conditions.
Conclusion
The result of this study is of value to health care providers. Compliance to cardiovascular medications will avoid treatment failures encountered in therapy.

Pneumonia and respiratory failure from swine origin influenza H1n1pharmaindexing
Swine influenza (swine flu) became alarming health concern when World Health Organization declared as “public health emergency of international concern” on April 25, 2009. After documentation of human-to-human transmission of the virus in at least three countries of two WHO regions, the WHO raised the pandemic level to 6.1 During the 1918, flu pandemic infected one-third of the world's population (an estimated 500 million people) and caused approximately 50 million deaths.2 In 1976, an outbreak of swine influenza occurred in New Jersey, USA, which involved more than 200 cases, some of them severe, resulting in one death.3 In 1988, another fatality was reported as a complication of swine influenza.
A descriptive study on newborn care among postnatal mothers in selected mater...pharmaindexing
The newborn health challenge faced by India is more formidable than that experienced by any other country in the world. The newborn health is inevitably affected by the traditional care practices of the mothers causing high infant morbidity and mortality.The aim of the study were determine the knowledge, attitude and practice of postnatal mothers regarding new born care and find out the association between knowledge, attitude and practice of postnatal mothers regarding new born care and to determine the association between these as well as with the selected demographic variables. A descriptive study was conducted to assess the knowledge, attitude and practice of postnatal mothers regarding new born care in selected maternity centres in Madurai. Survey approach was employed to select sample and it consisted of 100 postnatal mothers. Data was collected using structured interview schedule. Findings of the study showed that 65% of postnatal mothers had moderate knowledge; 61% had favourable attitude and 57% of them had high practice of new born care. There was a significant association between knowledge and attitude (r=+0.567), knowledge and practice (r=+0.388), attitude and practice (r=+0.321) .There was a significant association between knowledge and education, monthly family income and obstetrical score at p<0.05. Findings of the study indicated the need to conduct frequent assessment of knowledge, attitude and practice of postnatal mothers regarding new born care. Awareness and attitude of the mothers towards new born care still has lots of lacunae especially in those who belong to the lower socio economic statusand poorly educated postnatal mothers. So it is imperative to provide comprehensive training in the field of new born care for mothers during pregnancy
Late 19th century was evident of intelligent biomaterial; which has changed researcher’s perspective towards science and technology. This intelligent biomaterial are envisioned to have huge impact on Healthcare from sequential signalling of biomedical molecule, mimicking natural gene, an effective drug carrier, to high resolution diagnostic tool.From drug discovery aspect many of NCE fail to reach therapeutic potential due to PK/ PD profile. Nanotechnology has changed the face of drug discovery form chemical evaluation to structure of proteins in signalling pathways and development of chemical antibody. Nanotechnology from lab to market approval is long process due to regulatory evaluation. Though it seems to be bright future market it has to go through a long process from being innovation to complete market product. This makes whole process expensive making investor reluctant to invest in big projects.Western world is aware of dramatic potential of nano-projects; which has its limitation in financial investments; with major challenge of transforming nano science to commercial pharmaceutical product.
The Flaws in health practice in post-operative management of a patient in ter...pharmaindexing
Introduction
Congenital urinary tract obstructions are common cause of kidney damage sometimes which sometimes presents itself without symptoms leading to abnormalities in blood filtration and consequently retarded kidney function. A cohort study was conducted in such patient to find out the short comings in treatment strategy.
Case presentation
A four years old child, weighing 14 kg was brought with severe constipation, fever, chest congestion and cough later developed left eye disorientation after admission to hospital, diagnosed with urinary tract obstruction, indicating acidosis and loss of electrolytes due to excessive loss of water. His therapy management included surgical treatment, dialysis and to improve his electrolyte levels within the normal with the treatment chest congestion and fever.
Conclusion
This case study reports the post operative treatment of congenital urinary tract obstructions in a tertiary care hospital and highlights the discrepancies observed. Antibiotic rationality and irrational prescribing was observed. The case study highlights the need of a clinical pharmacist in the health care team.
Corticosteroid induced disorders – An overviewpharmaindexing
Glucocorticoids are important in the treatment of many inflammatory, allergic, immunologic, and malignant disorders, and the toxicity of glucocorticoids is one of the commonest causes of iatrogenic illness associated with chronic inflammatory disease.Glucocorticoid-induced muscle atrophy is characterized by fast-twitch or type II muscle fiber atrophy. Corticosteroid (CS) therapy is widely used in the treatment of rheumatic diseases.Osteoporosis remains one of its major complications.Steroid induced glaucoma is a form of open angle glaucoma occurring as an adverse effect of corticosteroid therapy. Glucocorticoids induce hepatic and extrahepatic insulin resistance.Glucocorticoid treatment impairs both glucose transport in fat and muscle cells. Corticosteroid-induced psychosis represents a spectrum of psychological changes that can occur at any time during treatment. Cushing’s syndrome describes the signs and symptoms associated with prolonged exposure to inappropriately high levels of the hormone cortisol. Physicians must be aware of these adverse effects and be equipped to manage them.
Anti-inflammatory activity of pupalia lappacea L. Jusspharmaindexing
Pupalia lappacea (L) Juss is an erect shrub used in folklore medicine to treat bone fractures and in inflammatory conditions. Methanolic extract of aerial parts shown is claimed in traditional medicine that the leaves of the plant are used in the treatment of inflammation. In the present study, the methanolic extract of Pupalia lappacea was screened for its anti-inflammatory activity using carageenan induced rat paw edema egg white induced paw oedema models. The methanolic extract at the dose of 200 mg/kg p.o exhibited significant anti-inflammatory activity in carrageenan induced paw edema model (p<0.01). In egg white induced model, methanolic extract at the dose of 200 mg/kg inhibited paw oedema significantly (p<0.01) indicating that both test samples inhibit the increase in number of fibroblasts and synthesis of collagen and mucopolysaccharides during prostaglandin formation during the inflammation. These experimental results have established a pharmacological evidence for the folklore claim of the drug to be used as an anti inflammatory agent. HPTLC analysis of the extract shows the presence of gallic acid 1.24mg/ml, ferulic acid 2.00mg/ml, chlorogenic acid 46.25mg/ml and rutin 7.02mg/ml of the extract which were responsible for the claimed anti-inflammatory action in the animal models studied.
Lucinactant: A new solution in treating neonatal respiratory distress syndrom...pharmaindexing
Lucinactant is a novel synthetic surfactant, approved by the FDA on March 6th 2012, for use in treatment of RDS. It’s superiority as compared to the previously approved surfactants lie in containing sinapultide, a 21-amino acid peptide also known as KL4 peptide, which has been designed to mimic the activity of human surfactant protein. Lucinactant is completely devoid of any animal derived components. It is the fifth drug approved by the FDA for the treatment of RDS. It has shown immense efficacy in phase two clinical trials and animal model studies and exhibited better efficiency when compared to other surfactants in both 24 hour and two week mortality rates of infants in RDS. Lucinactant tends reduce the surface tension at the air-liquid interface of alveolar surfaces and allows lungs to function normally. It was observed that the side effects were lesser with Lucinactant when compared with other naturally derived surfactants.
Bioactivity screening of Soil bacteria against human pathogenspharmaindexing
Microorganisms have a profound effect on medical science as they not only infect & cause disease but also produce metabolic products that can cure infections. Soil happens to be a source for a variety of microorganisms. Most of the bacteria, particularly actinomycetes produce biologically active secondary metabolites. Though there are a number of antibiotics available, there is a pressing need for the discovery of new source for antimicrobials against the pathogens due to the development of drug resistance of the pathogenic microorganisms. In addition to, new pathogenic strains are also developing and causing infection to human beings. Bioactive compounds are compounds that are produced by any living organism and are known to exhibit various biological activities both in-vitro & in-vivo. Bioactivity may be antimicrobial, antineoplastic, anticancerous, immunomodulation, antifertility & others. Soil bacteria were isolated by standard technique and by making use of selective media. The isolates were identified and subjected for preliminary screening to look for their ability to produce bioactive materials. A total of 96 strains were isolated from three different soil samples. 14 of them were found to have antibacterial activity against the human pathogens like Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus faecalis, E.coli, Klebsiella aerogenes, Proteus vulgaris, Pseudomonas aureginosa and Salmonella typhi by preliminary screening. Further the selected (3) bacteria were grown in the suitable culture media for the production of bioactive metabolites by using rotary shake flask. The active metabolites was isolated by solvent extraction and concentrated by evaporation under reduced pressure. The antimicrobial screening of the active metabolites showed prominent effect against the clinical pathogens under the study.
A study on sigmoid Volvulus presentation and managementpharmaindexing
A study on sigmoid volvulus presentation and management was a 2yr retrospective study done at RMMCH.The diagnosis of sigmoid volvulus was made from a history of large bowel obstruction (constipation, abdominal distension, and abdominal pain), which were often recurrent and plain abdominal radiographs.The morbidity associated isSuperficial wound infection occurred in four patients. All the infected wounds eventually healed with conservative measures. Clinical anastomotic dehiscence was noted in 1 patient for which during relaparotomy proximal colostomy and mucous fistula was done. The mortality associated is shown is there were 9 deaths of which 7 were due to sepsis and 2 were due to comorbid illness. Two out of eight patients for whom a colopexy was done had a recurrent attack of sigmoid volvulus. The duration of hospital stay ranged between 10 and 21 days. Use of sigmoidoscopic detorsion for viable colon should be encouraged. Sigmoidopexy, which is associated with a recurrence rate of 20% in our series of patients, should be used selectively.Hartmann’s procedure is a safe option in sigmoid volvulus with gangrenous bowel. Primary anastomosis in emergency situation can be carried out with morbidity and mortality in patients with viable colon
Evaluation of Preliminary phytochemical on various some medicinal plantspharmaindexing
The present study was carried out to evaluate the physical status and percentage yield of methanolic extract and its fractions of whole plant of Leucas cephalotes, leaves of Hiptage benghalensis and leaves of Kydia calycina were recorded for future references and Preliminary phytochemical screening of MLC, MHB and MKC revealed the presence of carbohydrates, glycosides, saponins, flavonoids, steroidal and phenolic compounds. MLC revealed the presence of all the above mentioned phytoconstituents except saponins and also MKC steroidal compounds. The fractions of MLC, MHB and MKC revealed the presence of glycosides, phenolic compounds, steroids and flavonoids.
Comparision of in vitro antibacterial activity of cefoperazone and levofloxac...pharmaindexing
Cefoperazone (a third generation cephalosporin) has effective in vitro activity against majority of pathogens. Levofloxacin (a flouroquinolone) is one which prescribed more due to its increased antibacterial activity against Gram-positive, Gram-negative, and atypical bacteria. Microbial resistance to antibiotics is now prevalent and poses a serious clinical threat. An attempt has been made to evaluate sensitivity of Cefoperazone and Levofloxacin against Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Salmonella typhi. A total of 120 isolates were collected from different pathological laboratories and medical centers in Karachi, Pakistan. The above stated clinical isolates were extracted from urine/stool, skin, blood and sputum samples. Results show least resistance of Levofloxacin as compare to Cefoperazone against Escherichia coli (32.5% and 42.5%) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (36% and 48%) while Staphylococcus aureus is still susceptible towards Cefoperazone and least sensitive to Levofloxacin by showing 26.6% and 50% resistance respectively. Study concluded that the prevalent pathogens are still susceptible towards Levofloxacin and Cefoperazone but the gradual increase in resistance is alarming to the general practice of prescribing antibiotic which require routine evaluation and surveillance to ensure the effectiveness of the antibacterial agents.
Concept of srotas from ayurvedic perspective with special reference to neurologypharmaindexing
Ayurveda is a life science. The researchers of ayurveda could rule out the presence of srotas (channels) spreading throughout the human body. These srotas (channels) are governed by vayu which is using all the srotas (channels) of the body to carry out the functional and physiological activities of the human body without which the human society will not exist. Several synonymous words have been described by the ayurvedicacharyas for srotas. Some are micro and some are macro in structures and they adopt the same colour of the particular dhatus of the body to which it belongs. The aim of the study is to justify that srotas are nothing but innurmerable channels or pathways of the nervous system governed by electric current without which no functional and physiological activities of the human body will develope.
Health promotion survey in overweight and obese students of universities in n...pharmaindexing
Introduction
Overweight and obesity is one of the major health problems in the UK and worldwide. Approximately two-thirds of the population in the UK is either overweight or obese. Overweight and obesity is an important issue that causes distress to most women. Health promotion is the best method to educate overweight and obese women. It is defined as the process enabling people to increase control over and to improve their health by Ottawa Charter for Health Promotion. It is aimed to enhance the well-being of the individuals and their positive attitudes towards prevention of various diseases. In order to make any improvement to the health promotion for overweight and obesity, the risk factors and the opinions from the public should first be identified and addressed.
Methods
Cross-sectional survey design was selected with a questionnaire that consisted of 20 open and close ended questions. A sample size of 196 was determined. The data thus gathered was analyzed using SPSS V20 (Statistical Package for Social Science version 20). Descriptive statistics (fx) and (SD) were used and Chi-square X2 test for association was employed.
Results
Out of the total 196 responses, only (40%) of the students had normal weight (SD 1.1), (25%) students had a good understanding of health promotion (SD 1.6), half (50%) appeared concerned about their weight (SD 0.5), (60%) had an obese family member (0.5). The BMI of students was associated with the presence of an obese member in their family and their weight as a concern for them. (P-value <0.05).
Conclusion
The health promotion service is beneficial as it was found to have raised concerns in the mind of the students regarding over weight and obesity. However it was observed that the understanding of health promotion service was different among students and this is the root of the problem.

Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!

INTRODUCTION
Peptic ulcer disease is a very common global health
problem today. Peptic ulcer is a lesion of the gastric
or duodenal mucosa. Duodenal ulcers are more
common in adult males. Gastric ulcers occur
commonly at old age and in lower socio
class of individuals. Although the exact cause of
ulceration is not known, hydrochloric acid and
pepsin are responsible for maintaining the lesion
once it is produced. Peptic ulceration occurs only in
areas, which are bathed by the acidic gastric juice.
Therefore, the term peptic ulcer refers to ulceration
of the areas which might be acted upon by acid
peptic juice namely the stomach and the first
portion of the duodenum. Peptic ulcers also occur at
the lower end of the esophagus, on the jejunal side
of a gastroenterostomy and in Meckel’s diverticulum.

sparse and thin; testa cartilaginous or thinly
membranous, sometimes absent; embryo straight or
curved. About 130 genera and 4500-5000 species:
Mediterranean region, sub-Saharan Africa,
Madagascar, tropical and temperate Asia, Australia,
Pacific islands, tropical and South America; 10
genera (five introduced ) and 121 species (50
endemic, 32 introduced treated here) in China. Many
Myrtaceae are cultivated garden ornamentals, street
trees, or plantation trees. Some members of the tribe
Syzygieae is grown as fruit crops. Syzygium
alternifolium fruit is used for curing stomach ache,
ulcers and management of rheumatic pains; seeds as
anti-diabetic agents; leaves to treat dry cough and
dysentery; and stem bark as antiseptic [5]. From the
source of literature documentation and relevant
traditional approaches on plant drugs, the present
investigation was carried out to investigate the anti-
ulcer profile of the Ethanol Extract of Syzygium
alternifolium fruit (ESA) is being reported here.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Plant material
The fruit of Syzygium alternifolium was collected
from Tirumala hills, Tirupati, Andhra Pradesh. India.
It was identified and authenticated by Prof. Madhava
Chetty, K., Taxonomist, S.V. University, Tirupati,
Andhra Pradesh, India. A voucher specimen has
been kept in our laboratory for future reference.
Preparation of plant extract
The collected fruit was dried at room temperature,
pulverized by a mechanical grinder, sieved through
40mesh. About 100g of powdered materials were
extracted with Ethanol (90%) using soxhlet
apparatus. The extraction was carried out until the
extractive becomes colourless. The extract is then
concentrated and dried under reduced pressure. The
solvent free semisolid mass thus obtained is
dissolved in tween 80 and used in the experiment.
The percentage yield of prepared extracts was
around 10.5%w/w.
Animals Used
Albino rats (180–200 g) of either sex were
maintained in a 12 h light/dark cycle at a constant
temperature 25 ◦C with free access to feed (Sai durga
feeds and foods, Bangalore) and water. All animals
were fasted prior to all assays and were allocated to
different experimental groups each of six rats.
Moreover, the animals were kept in specially
constructed cages to prevent coprophagia during the
experiment. All experiments were carried out
according to the guidelines for care and use of
experimental animals and approved by Committee
for the Purpose of Control and Supervision of
Experiments on Animals (CPCSEA). Ethical committee
clearance was obtained from IAEC (Institutional
Animal Ethics Committee) of CPCSEA.
Acute toxicity study
The acute toxicity of Ethanol extracts of Syzygium
alternifolium fruit was determined as per the OECD
guideline no. 423 (Acute Toxic Class Method). It was
observed that the test extract was not lethal to the
rats even at 2000mg/kg 2000mg/kg doses. Hence,
1/10th
(250mg/kg) and 1/5th
(500mg/kg) of this dose
was selected for further study [6].
ANTI-ULCER ACTIVITY
Ethanol induced gastric ulcer
Animals were randomly divided into four groups
each of 6 rats. Group I treated with 4% v/v aqueous
tween 80 (10 ml/kg p.o), Group II & III treated with
Ethanol extract of Syzygium alternifolium (250and
500mg/kg p.o) respectively for 14 days and Group IV
treated with Omeprazole (20 mg/kg p.o) were
administered 30min prior to induction of gastric
ulcer. On the 14th
day, Gastric ulcers were induced
with ethanol at a dose of 8ml/kg [7] administered to
all groups by orally. The animals were anaesthetized
6 h with ether, and stomachs were incised along the
greater curvature and the ulcer index for each rat
was taken as the mean ulcer score.
Indomethacin induced gastric ulcer
Animals were divided into four groups each of six
rats. Group I treated with 4% v/v aqueous tween 80
(10 ml/kg p.o). Group II & III treated with Ethanol
extract of Syzygium alternifolium (250and
500mg/kg p.o) respectively for 14 days and Group IV
treated with Omeprazole (20 mg/kg p.o) were
administered 30min prior to induction of gastric
ulcer. On the 14th
day, gastric ulcers were induced
with indomethacin (40 mg/kg p.o) administered to
all groups after fasting for 24 h. The animals were

sacrificed 4 h after treatment with the ulcerogenic
agent [8] to assess the anti-ulcer activity and ulcer
index were examined on the dissected stomachs as
described below.
Measurement of ulcer index
The stomachs were excised and were examined for
hemorrhagic lesions in the glandular mucosa.
Immediately, after the animals were sacrificed, their
stomachs were dissected out, cut along the greater
curvature, and the mucosa was rinsed with cold
normal saline to remove the blood contaminants, if
any. The sum of the length (mm) of all lesions for
each stomach was used as the ulcer index (UI), and
the percentage of inhibition (%I) was calculated as
described by Nguelefack et al. (2005) [9] using the
following formula:
(USc − USt)
% I = ---------------------------× 100
USc
Where USc = ulcer surface area in control and
USt = ulcer surface area in treated animals.
Statistical analysis
The data were expressed as mean ± standard error
mean (S.E.M). The Significance of differences between
the group was assessed using one way and multiple
way analysis of variance (ANOVA). The test followed
by Dunnett’s test p values less than 0.05 were
considered as significance.
RESULTS
Acute toxicity study
Acute toxicity study in which the animals treated
with the Ethanol Extract of Syzygium alternifolium
at a higher dose of 2000 mg/kg did not manifest any
significant abnormal signs, behavioral changes, body
weight changes, or macroscopic findings at any time
of observation. There was no mortality in the above-
mentioned dose at the end of the 14 days of
observation.
Effect of Ethanol Extract of Syzygium
alternifolium on gastric ulcer induced by
Ethanol
The Ethanol Extract of Syzygium alternifolium
showed the significant anti-ulcer effect against
ulcers induced by Ethanol in a dose-dependent
manner. In ethanol induced ulcer model, Ethanol
Extract of Syzygium alternifolium at a dose of 250
and 500 mg/kg body weight showed the protective
effect of 54.74 and 68.04%, respectively, where as
Omeprazole showed the protection index of 80.60%
at a dose of 20 mg/kg body weight (Table -1).
Effect of Ethanol Extract of Syzygium
alternifolium on gastric ulcer induced by
Indomethacin
The Ethanol Extract of Syzygium alternifolium
showed the significant anti-ulcer effect against
ulcers induced by Indomethacin in a dose-dependent
manner. In Indomethacin induced ulcer model,
Ethanol Extract of Syzygium alternifolium at a dose
of 250 and 500 mg/kg body weight showed the
protective effect of 54.13 and 65.14%, respectively,
where as Omeprazole showed the protection index
of 77.02% at a dose of 20 mg/kg body weight (Table -
2).
DISCUSSION & CONCLUSION
The results from this study show that the Ethanol
extracts from the fruit of Syzygium alternifolium
exert protective effects against ethanol,
indomethacin, pylorus ligation and cold restraint
stress-induced gastric mucosal damage. The anti-
ulcer effect of Syzygium alternifolium was tested
against gastric lesions induced by ethanol, the
experimental model related to lesion pathogenesis
with production of reactive oxygen species. Reactive
oxygen species are involved in the pathogenesis of
ethanol-induced gastric mucosal injury in vivo [10-
12]. Syzygium alternifolium prevented the mucosal
lesions induced by ethanol. Results in the present
study also indicate similar alterations in the anti-
oxidant status after ethanol induced ulcers. The
gastric mucosal protection against ethanol can be
mediated through a number of mechanisms that
include enhancement of the gastric mucosal defense
through the increase in mucus and/or bicarbonate
production, reducing the volume of gastric acid
secretion or by simply neutralizing the gastric
acidity [13].
ESA may either reduce the gastric acid secretion or
enhance the barrier defense of the mucosal wall. ESA
dose dependent inhibition in ethanol induced gastric
lesions (Table -1). Histopathological studies suggest
that the ethanol damage to the gastrointestinal
mucosa starts with microvascular injury, namely
disruption of the vascular endothelium resulting in
increased vascular permeability, edema formation
and epithelial lifting [14].
Their anti-ulcerogenic potency was tested against
indomethacin-induced ulcer. Indomethacin is a
cyclooxygenase inhibitor which suppresses
gastroduodenal bicarbonate secretion, reduces
endogeneous prostaglandin biosynthesis and
disrupts the mucosal barrier as well as mucosal
blood flow in animals [15]. It is also well known that
prostaglandins synthetized in large quantities by the
gastrointestinal mucosa can prevent experimentally
induced ulcers by ulcerogens. Thus, when the ulcers
lesions are induced by indomethacin, the
cytoprotective effect of the anti-ulcer agent can be
mediated through endogeneous prostaglandins [16].
The results obtained show that the mean ulcer index
was significantly reduced in the Ethanol extracts

from the fruitof Syzygium alternifolium treated
groups, compared to their respective controls.
Syzygium alternifolium extracts may stimulate the
secretion of prostaglandins or possess
prostaglandins like-substances (Table -2).
The Ethanol extracts of Syzygium alternifolium at a
dose of 500mg/kg showed similar activity to that of
omeprazole (a proton pump inhibitor, which is used
to heal stomach and duodenal ulcers). The gastro
protective effect of omeprazole is mediated through
the block of acid secretion by inactivation of H+/K+-
ATPase [17,18]. This study reveals that the aqueous
and methanol extracts from the fruit of Syzygium
alternifolium are potent inhibitors of gastric mucosal
lesions caused by ethanol, indomethacin, pylorus
ligation and cold-restraint stress in rats.
Further, our results fortify the ethano
pharmacological importance of ESA as an anti-ulcer
agent. Etiology of ulcers produced in different ulcer
models is diverse. Since ESA has been found
effective in various models depicting its anti-
ulcerogenic activity. ESA and its active constituents
may emerge as the more effective therapeutic agent
to counter gastric ulcer incidence. However, more
experimentation, detailed phytochemical and
experimental analysis are required for a definitive
conclusion.
