        Inroduction & Objective: Using herbal products like Aloe vera (Aloe barbadensis Miller) plays an important role in wound healing. This study aimed to evalutea the curative influence of Aloe vera (AV) fresh gel on healing of open cutaneous wounds in mouse. Material and Method: Mice were 1) pseudo-control (sham): wound treated with physiological serum; 2) wound treated with 2 gr AV fresh gel. Two equal full-thickness skin wounds were made on vertebral column in the sacral region. On 8th and 16th post wounding day, skin sampling for the purpose of gene expression of fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGF-R) under RT-PCR evaluation was taken place. Urine samples were used to determine the concentration of hydroxy proline (HP) as a marker of collagen turnover in wounds, using HP assay kit.   Results: AV fresh gel could up-regulate the expression of FGF-R gene as compared to negative and pseudo-controls (P<0.05). In addition, HP concentration was incresed in AV gel-treated groups comparing to others. Conclusion: We revealed that AV fresh gel was capable of healing wounds via elevation in collagen turnover and represents a good candidate for a wound healing process in human and animals.

        Salinity is one of the most important abiotic stresses for plants and its adverse effects on different stages of plant growth and yield have been reported. Salinity can reduce seed germination as the most sensitive stage of plant growth. The use of silver nanoparticles has been suggested to improve the germination of some plants in salinity conditions. On the other hand, consuming spinach is highly recommended due to its high nutritional value. In this study, aloe vera extract was used for synthesis of silver nanoparticles. Then, the effects of salinity on seed germination of spinach and the role of silver nanoparticles on seed germination indices in this plant were investigated. The formation of silver nitrate nanoparticles was investigated using a spectrophotometer, XRD analysis, and electron microscopy. Spherical nanoparticles, with an average size of 11.97 nm to 29.46 nm were observed. Treatments in a completely randomized design with three replications of green silver nanoparticles at concentrations of 10, 20, 40, 80 and 100 ppm and salinity at four levels of 0, 50, 100 and 150 mM on spinach seed germination process were investigated . The results showed that the germination process under salinity conditions decreased significantly compared to the control group. Treatment of 40 ppm concentration of silver nanoparticles for different levels of salinity had a significantly increased effect on germination indices at 1% level . Manuscript profile

        In this study, the effect of Sabrzard extract (Aleo vera) on growth of  Shyrbot (Barbus grypus) were investigated. For this purpose three concentrations of Aloe vera extract, 0.1, 0.2 and 0.5% (in triplicate) were mixed with the feed and the fish were fed with this diet for 60 days. Control group was fed with the control diet without Aloe vera extract. Growth parameters include weight gain, percent of weight gain, increase of length, condition factor, feed consumption, feed conversion, specific growth rate, protein efficiency ratio and food efficiency were measured. Results indicated that  feeding Shyrbot with Aloe Vera extract 0.2% lead to significant increase in the quality index, percent of weight gain, specific growth rate and weight gain (P<0.05). Also feeding with extract 0.5% lead to increase of quality index (P<0.05). Effect of oral administration of different doses of Aloe vera on feed conversion, protein efficiency ratio, feed efficiency comparison between treatments and control group was different significantly (P<0.05). Altogether we can say that the better doses of Aloe vera in diet for growth excitement and blood parameters are 0.2 and 0.5%. Manuscript profile

        Aloe (Aloe barbadensis Mill) is one of the most important medicinal plants belonging to Liliaceae family that nowadays is propagated by in vitro culture in high-scale propagation. Because of the impotance of the establishment stage in in vito culture of this plant, this study was conducted to investigate the best media culture for Aloe explants establishment. First, the prolifration rate of two kind of explants (Shoot tips and auxiliary buds) were evaluated on 8 media cultures and shoot tips selected as the best explants. Then, in order to determine the best media culture an experiment was conducted in factorail design with two factors: auxins in four levels (1 mgl-1 IAA, 0.5 mgl-1IAA, 1 mgl-1IBA, 0.5 mgl-1IBA) and cytokinins in two levels (BA and Kinetin at 1 mgl-1) in a complete randomised design with 3 replications. After 35 days the highest rate of prolifration earned on the media contained 0.5 mgl-1 IAA and 1 mgl-1 BA with 6.0 shoots per explant and 2.3 cm length, that is higher and faster than other related reports. Since on the stablishment stage of in vitro culture regnaration of the highest shoot number per explant with small size has considerable attention, this protocol suggestes an appropriate method for establishment of Aloe explants.

        مقدمه و هدف: اثرات اشعه­ی فرابنفش بر گیاهان که به نور خورشید نیاز دائمی دارند، غیر قابل اجتناب است. تأثیر مستقیم نور فرابنفش بر رشد و نمو در گیاهان، معمولاً منفی است و گیاهان  ساز و کارهای دفاعی مختلفی برای محافظت و سازگاری خود به کار می­گیرند. این تحقیق با هدف بررسی اثرات مخرّب، محرک یا سازنده­ی احتمالی اشعه­ی UV-C (nm 280 - 100) بر گیاهچه­های درون شیشه­ای آلوئه­ورا و تغییرات احتمالی این اثرات در حضور غلظت­های مختلف تنظیم کننده­های رشد موجود در محیط کشت، انجام گرفته­است.   روش تحقیق: گیاه آلوئه ورا به این دلیل انتخاب شد که گیاهی دارویی و نیمه­ گرمسیری است و به طور معمول در محل کشت و پرورش خود به طور مداوم در معرض اشعه‌های فرابنفش انرژی خورشید قرار دارد. تیمارهای مورد آزمون شامل محیط کشت در 4 سطح و اشعه­ی UV-C در دو سطح (40 میکرووات بر سانتی­متر مربع و صفر میکرووات بر سانتی­متر مربع) بودند. گیاهچه­های درون­شیشه­ای روی 4 محیط کشت مختلف در 6 تکرار کشت شدند و 3 تکرار از آن­ها طی 1 ماه،  روزانه 1 ساعت در معرض اشعه­ی UV-C  قرار گرفتند.نتایج و بحث: نتایج حاصل از این بررسی نشان داد که بیش­ترین طول گیاهچه، تعداد و طول ریشه در محیط کشت، دارای5/1 میلی­گرم در لیتر IBA  و بیش­ترین تعداد شاخساره در محیط کشت،  دارای 5/1 میلی­گرم در لیتر IBA و 1 میلی­گرم در لیترBA به دست آمد. اشعه­ی UV-C به طور معنی­داری باعث کاهش طول  اندام­های هوایی، تعداد و طول ریشه در تیمارهای اشعه دیده شد اما تعداد شاخساره را افزایش داد. توصیه کاربردی/صنعتی:  براساس نتایج به­دست آمده از این تحقیق، اشعه­ی UV-C باعث کاهش تعداد و طول ریشه شد. بنابراین  استفاده از این اشعه در مراحل ریشه­زایی و طویل شدن اندام­های هوایی در گیاه آلوئه ورا توصیه نمی­شود. این در حالی است که در محیط­های استقرار و پرآوری اشعه­ی UV-C می­تواند به عنوان عاملی برای تحریک تولید شاخساره­ی بیش­تر در کشت درون­شیشه­ای به کار رود.

        In this research, a new type of wound dressing based on polyvinyl pyrrolidone polymer (PVP) modified by extracted compounds from aloe vera (Av) was prepared by electrospinning method. After achieving optimal preparation conditions using experimental design method, the prepared material was characterized using infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, differential scanning calorimetry analysis, and thermogravimetric analysis. The results of the studies showed that by using the optimal conditions, smooth filament of PVP without node with the diameter of about 100 nm can be achieved. PVP-Av and PVP-Av-Film fiber diameter as well as fibers with a special therapeutic coating were about 105 and 120 nm, respectively with a suitable surface to volume ratio. The results of the investigations showed that the use of polymer coating on the wound dressing not only increase its mechanical resistance, but also increase the hydrophilicity of this wound dressing. In addition, the results of biological investigations showed that this wound dressing has very little toxicity for biological cells and can be used to treat skin edema. Manuscript profile

        The skin is prone to mechanical injuries and damage and the skin collagen changes with age. Herbs and aloe vera gel are used experimentally and traditionally in the skin repair and rejuvenation. In this study, the effect of gelatin-aloe vera nanofibers on the expression of collagen I gene after skin microneedling was investigated in male mice under standard laboratory conditions. Skin microneedling was performed on the backs of the tested mice. Groups were subjected to treatments with saline, aloe vera gel, and gelatin-aloe vera nanofibers for 48 h. The expression of collagen I gene was evaluated through sampling and purification of tissue RNA by Real time PCR method. According to the results, skin injury resulted in a significant reduction in the expression of the collagen I gene in the treatment groups compared to the control group. In comparison, treatment with aloe vera gel and aloe vera/gelatin nanofibers significantly increased gene expression compared to the model group. Furthermore, the existing Glucomannan increased gene expression at the site of injury by passing through pores. Manuscript profile
