“…This plant has been widely used in various traditional medicines in Southeast Asia, such as for tendon pain relief and to improve blood circulation [19] . While the use of this plant for treating chronic respiratory ailments such as sputum has been reported, and research has reported possible antioxidant properties of this plant, its potential benefits for the skin remain unexplored [19–20] . This paper focuses on the skin‐protective and antioxidant properties of the ethanol extract of Oxyceros horridus (Oh‐EE).…”

[19][20] This paper focuses on the skinprotective and antioxidant properties of the ethanol extract of Oxyceros horridus (Oh-EE). Also, whether the extract can suppress AP-1 pathway was also examined in terms of mechanistical understanding of pharmacological activities of Oh-EE.…”

Skin is the largest and outermost organ in the human body; it serves as a vital defense mechanism against various external threats. Therefore, it is crucial to maintain its health through protection against harmful substances and adequate moisture levels. This study investigates the anti‐inflammatory, antioxidant, and moisturizing properties of Oxyceros horridus Lour. (Oh‐EE) in human keratinocytes. Oh‐EE demonstrates potent antioxidant activity and effectively protects against oxidative stress induced by external stimuli such as UVB radiation and H2O2. Additionally, it exhibits significant anti‐inflammatory effects proven by its ability to downregulate the expression of pro‐inflammatory cytokines, namely COX‐2 and IL‐6. The study also explores the involvement of the AP‐1 pathway, highlighting the ability of Oh‐EE to suppress the expression of p38 and its upstream regulator, MKK3/6, under UVB‐induced conditions. Interestingly, Oh‐EE can activate the AP‐1 pathway in the absence of external triggers. Furthermore, Oh‐EE enhances skin moisture by upregulating the expression of key genes involved in skin hydration, namely HAS3 and FLG. These findings underscore the potential of Oh‐EE as a versatile ingredient in skincare formulations, providing a range of skin benefits. Further research is warranted to comprehensively understand the underlying mechanisms through which Oh‐EE exerts its effects.

“…Morocco, located in the Mediterranean region, is known for its diverse and rich vegetation, comprising over 500 species of natural aromatic and medicinal plants; about 12% of the country's total flora (Fennane & Rejdali 2016). Ethnobotany, the study of human-plant relationships in all its complexity (Heinrich 2014), which groups the sum of knowledge required for human survival (Bennett 2005, Smith 1995) and the discovery of new medicines (Atanasov et al 2021, Nguanchoo et al 2023, Tu 2011, is a key approach to understanding traditional knowledge in the region. This approach explores the relationship between plant diversity and cultural diversity, as well as the ways in which different cultures perceive, use and manage plants (Albuquerque & Hanazaki 2009).…”

Background: This study aims to compare the information recorded in the three provinces of Jerada, Nador, and Al Hoceima in the Northeastern part of Morocco, in order to evaluate variability of medicinal plant knowledge in these provinces.Methods: All the data were gathered through conducting open-ended semi-structured interviews with randomly selected individuals between 2017 and 2019. The study targeted people belonging to a specific ethnic category: The Berber tribes Aït Waryaghel in the province of Al Hoceima, the tribes Guelaya in the province of Nador, and the Arabs in the province of Jerada.Results: Information on 241 taxa were collected through ethnobotanical surveys conducted with a total of 1,177 persons across the three targeted provinces. In Jerada, 200 taxa were documented based on responses from 380 participants, of which 52% were women. In Al Hoceima, 179 taxa were identified through interactions with 410 persons, with 68% being men, while in Nador 131 taxa were recorded from interviews with 387 interviewees, with 53% being women. The analysis of the results revealed a total of 790 medicinal uses recorded across the provinces: 232 in the province of Al Hoceima, 172 in the province of Nador, and 386 therapeutic uses in the province of Jerada. Additionally, 474 other uses were recorded, with 166 in the province of Al Hoceima, 120 in the province of Nador, and 188 in the province of Jerada.Conclusions: Ethnicity indeed has an important role in the common knowledge of the population; it is even one of the imposing factors that forge it, making the comparison between different regions necessary in order to promote an adequate strategy to preserve biodiversity in a given region.

This paper aims to explore Consecutive Interpreting techniques needed to facilitate Intercultural Communication of Zhuang Medicine Culture from the Perspective of Speech Act Theory,based on ASEAN Guangxi International Workshop on TCM Zhuang and Yao Medicine. It is found that the Speech Act Theory can effectively guide the C-E International Zhuang Medicine Workshop classroom interpreting and contribute to better classroom communication. Meanwhile, the application of techniques such as semantic deverbalization, amplification and negation can facilitate imparting of Zhuang Medicine Culture knowledge.
