The antimicrobial activity of alcoholic and aqueous extracts of pomegranate fruit peel on Staphylococcus aureus isolated from hair in Najaf

There has been considerable interest in the use of plant materials as an alternative method to control pathogenic microorganisms and many compounds of plant products have been shown to be specifically targeted against antibiotic resistant pathogens. The  present study was aimed to evaluate the antimicrobial activity of the alcoholic and aqueous extract of pomegranate peel against Staphylococcus aureus  isolated from hair. The plant extracts prepared and The antimicrobial effects of the pomegranate extracts were evaluated using method disk inhibition zone , the results shows that the extracts of pomegranate have  a good  antibacterial growth activity  against Staphylococcus aureus  isolated from hair with significant differences (P<0.05) with concentrations of the type extract in which there are more susceptible to 100 mg/ ml( the highest concentration ) and the alcoholic extract.

Study the effect of age on HCG test in pregnant women

Study of in vitro and in vivo cytotoxicity effect of some medicinal plants

The medicinal plants contain many ingredients which enhance the development and synthesis of many drugs the ingredients content of medicinal plants that have therapeutic activity naturally synthesized and accumulated in plants. The presence study was conducted to investigate in vitro and in vivo cytotoxicity effect of some medicinal plants, extracted by soxhlet with methanol alcohol and fractionation of active constituents from Curcuma longa L. rhizomes , Commiphora myrrha L. gums and Ginkgo biloba L. leaves with water , chloroform , ethyl acetate and hexane. The methanolic alcohol extract and fractions of Curcuma longa L. rhizomes , Commiphora myrrha L. gums and Ginkgo biloba L. leaves show ( in vitro ) relatively significant (p ≤ 0.05) low cytotoxicity against RBC , while ( in vivo ) the cytotoxicity at 2000 mg / ml did not occur which indicated the study plants safety
