        Diabetes mellitus is a constellation of metabolic disorders that increase blood glucose andfactors such as genetics, environmental factors, life-style habits that are involved in creating.In this study, to evaluate the effect of alcoholic extract of purslane on diabetic rats, 36 adultmale Wistar rats were used in six groups, respectively, including healthy controls, diabetic withstreptozotocin, diabetic with streptozotocin and treated with Purslane extract (200 mg/kg) for 4weeks (T1), diabetic with streptozotocin and treated with Purslane extract (400 mg/kg) for 4weeks (T2), treatment with Purslane extract (200 mg/kg) for 4 weeks thereafter induction ofdiabetes with streptozotocin (T3), treatment with Purslane extract (400 mg/kg) for 4 weeks andthen inducing diabetes with streptozotocin (T4). Blood glucose was measured at the end of eachweek. At the end of experiment, all rats were euthanized, and pancreas tissue samples wereplaced in 10% buffered formalin and referred to pathology laboratory for histopathology slidespreparation.Histopathological findings demonstrated islet cell necrosis and inflammatory cell infiltration indiabetic rats. Purslane extract-treated groups showed significant reduction in the severity of theinjuries. This reduction was greater in T3 and T4 groups compared to others. The resultsobtained showed anti-diabetic activities of purslane extract which is probably related to itsantioxidant properties. Manuscript profile

        Introduction & Objective: Staphylococcus aureus is cause of hospital infections and infectious illnesses. Urtica dioica, Portulaca oleracea and Stachys schtschegleevii have more antimicrobial and healing effects. In this project, the antimicrobial and healing effects of plants extracts with silver sulfadiazine were studied on burn infections of Staphylococcus aureus in rats. Materials & Methods: Firstly, ethanolic and acetonic extracts of plants were prepared in the laboratory. Then, the MIC and MBC of the extracts were determined by the dilution method in the Muller Hinton broth. In study of animal model, firstly the bacteria were inoculated with a concentration of (5×105 CFU/ml) to the wound site on rats. After 24 hours, ointments were prepared based on MBC concentration from extracts of mentioned plants for 1g of silver sulfadiazine and was used to treatment.Results: In studies conducted on rats, it was found that ethanolic and acetonic extracts of Urtica dioica, as well as the acetonic extract of Portulaca oleracea had more antimicrobial and healing effect on Staphylococcus aureus. But in the wound treated with ethanolic and acetonic extract of Stachys schtschegleevii, bleeding was seen. Conclusions: Ethanolic and acetonic extracts of Urtica dioica and the acetonic extract of Portulaca oleracea had more antimicrobial and restoration effects on burn wound infection. Ethanolic and acetonic extract of Urtica dioica had better healing effects than acetonic extract of Portulaca oleracea. As a result, extract of Urtica dioica could be used in preparation of burn ointments.  Manuscript profile

        The aim of this study was to investigate interaction of sodium chloride with chromium on vegetative, and physiological traits, uptake, and accumulation of sodium and chromium in roots and shoots of portulaca oleracea. In a completely randomized design with 3 replications, 4 salinity levels (0, 4, 8, 12 dsm-1‌) using sodium chloride every 4 days through irrigation water and five levels of chromium (0, 7, 14, 21, 28 mgkg-1 of dry soil weight) were applied in a pot experiment. Different levels of chromium treatment were prepared before sowing the seeds by adding potassium dichromate to the soil. The amounts of root chromium and shoots were measured by the atomic absorption spectrometry. Sodium contents of roots and shoots, root and stem length, root diameter and surface, greenness index, transfer factor, and bioaccumulation were measured after 60 days of cultivation. Results showed that an increase in different salinity level was associated with a significant increase in sodium and chromium content of roots, shoots and bioaccumulation factor. The highest amount of chromium, sodium, and bioaccumulation factor were observed at salinity levels of 12 dsm-1‌ and 28 mgkg-1. The interaction between salinity and chromium was significant. With an increase in the salinity level, the amount of plant root transfer factor showed an increasing trend and with increasing chromium, the transfer factor decreased. Root length, diameter, and surface as well as stem length and greenery index showed a significant decrease in plants treated with chromium and salinity. The combined effect of high levels of chromium and salinity led to a further reduction in the concentration and accumulation of minerals compared to each stress alone. Although salinity and chromium reduced the growth of portulaca oleracea, it seems that accumulation of significant amounts of sodium and chromium in the roots, prevents their excessive transfer to the shoots and further reduction in plant growth.

        The researchers have, recently considered using plants and their active components in the synthesis of metal nanoparticles. In this project, the aerial part of Portulaca oleracea L. (Portulacaceae) before the flowering stage, was collected from Roodsar (Gillan province) on June 2017 and the aqueous extract was prepared by warm maceration method. Aqueous extract of the aerial parts (leaves and flowers) of the plant and Ferric chloride solution was heated at 70°C for 3.5 h. and Iron oxide nanoparticles with average size of 90 nm were synthesized, by the co-precipitation method. Formation of the Iron oxide nanoparticles was confirmed by Ultraviolet-Visible spectroscopy (UV-Visible), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR) and X-Ray Diffraction Analysis (XRD) techniques. The absorption peak at 288 nm confirmed the formation of nanoparticles and FT-IR spectra were showed the presence of organic compounds around the nanoparticles. XRD results showed the phase of hematite (α-Fe2O3) for the synthesized nanoparticles. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Energy Dispersive X-Ray Spectroscopy (EDX) confirmed the formation and purity of the nanoparticles. TEM image showed that the synthesized Iron oxide nanoparticles have a spheroid/cube geometry. The nanoparticles were stabilized by the organic compounds of the extract and were not agglomerated. These organic compounds can also improve the capacity of the nanoparticles in environmental remediation. Manuscript profile

        In order to soil remediation from pollution by heavy metals, a new technical has been recently proposed called phytoremediation. Purslane is also highly tolerant against lack of water and salinity and can be regarded as a hyper accumulator of heavy metals. To study the effect of the nickel and cadmium on growth, yield and other characters of Portulacaoleracea L. a pot experiment was carried out in a completely randomized factorial design with three replications in the field of Azad University of Shahrekord, Iran, in the spring and summer of 2012. Treatments of this experiment included different levels of nickel (0, 20, 60, 120 mg/kg) and different levels of cadmium (0, 5, 20, 40 mg/kg). The results of this research showed that different levels of nickel and cadmium have a significant effect on the morphological and physiological characters of Portulacaoleracea L. and along with increasing the concentration of the heavy metals, these characters significantly decreased in comparison with the control plants. In classifying the averages of height, shoot and root dry matter and percentage of the extract, the highest amount belonged to the control plants and the lowest amount to the plants under combined treatment of nickel (120 mg/kg) and cadmium (40 mg/kg) and the single treatment of cadmium (40 mg/kg). Furthermore, the toxic properties of cadmium are more than nickel  decreased most of measured characters. Manuscript profile
