“…Plants have been used as therapeutics since ancient times (Jones, 1996). Recently, many therapeutic effects of NS extracts have been documented, including antioxidant (Burits and Bucar, 2000;Balikci, 2010), antimicrobial, antihelmintic (Agarwal et al, 1979), anti-inflammatory (Houghton et al, 1995), anti-tumour (Worthen et al, 1998), anti-diabetic (Meral et al, 2001) and antiulcerogenic (Akhtar et al, 1996) effects in both clinical and experimental studies.…”

This experiment was conducted in order to compare the effects of Nigella sativa (NS) and silver sulfadiazine (SSD) cream on healing of burn wounds in rats. Fifty four adult, male Wistar-albino rats were divided into three groups of equal numbers. A burn was generated on the backs of all the rats. The burned areas in the first, second and third groups were covered with daily cold cream (control), SSD cream and NS cream (50% NS oil + 50% cold cream), respectively. Four, nine, and 14 days later, the rats were sacrificed and the burned skin tissue samples were collected for histopathological examinations. Histopatological evaluations on the 4 th , 9 th and 14 th days showed burn healing to be better in the NS and SSD groups with respect to the control group. Wound healing was significantly different among the groups at 4 th , 9 th and 14 th days (P < 0.001). In conclusion, application of NS and SSD cream are effective in healing burn related skin wounds in the rat model.

“…The less availability and high cost of new generation antibiotics necessitates looking for the substances from alternative medicines with claimed antimicrobial activity. A number of herbs with significant antimicrobial activity have been reported in different traditional literatures 2,3,4 . Now it is aimed to explore scientifically the antimicrobial potential of three traditional plants and substantiate the folklore claims.…”

“…The carob extract is rich in various polyphenolic compounds (Makris and Kefalos, 2004). Presence of these polyphenols contributes significant role in improving the immune system thereby fighting against numerous infectious diseases (Jones, 1996). It significantly increased levels of the haematological indices thereby reversing/ameliorating the anaemic condition induced by CYP.…”

Cyclophosphamide (CYP) belongs to the anticancer drugs that exhibit potentially life-threatening effects on the immune and hematopoietic systems. The study aimed to assess efficiency of carob pods extract against the adverse CYP effect on spleen and lymphatic tissues which are the most sensitive components of immune system. In the present study, the hematological indices and markers of oxidative stress were assessed. In addition, the native protein, lipoprotein patterns, calcium moiety of native protein, catalase (CAT), peroxidase (GPx), α-and β-esterase (EST) isoenzymes and genomic DNA patterns were electrophoretically detected in both of bone marrow and spleen tissues. It was verified that CYP caused significant (P<0.05) decline in the hematological measurements which restored in all carob treated groups. Furthermore, all native electrophoretic patterns and isoenzymes in the bone marrow and spleen tissues illustrated that the lowest similarity index (SI %) was noticed in the CYP-treated group. The carob extract increased the SI % through restoring the absent normal bands and hiding the abnormal ones in all carob treated groups. Moreover, CYP induced cleavage of the genomic DNA and the carob extract maintained integrity of the genomic DNA in spleen tissue.
