Turning Meadow Weeds Into Valuable Species For The Romanian Ethnomedicine While Complying With The Environmentally Friendly Farming Requirements Of The European Union'S Common Agricultural Policy |
Grosu Elena; Ichim Mihael Cristin | Frontiers In Pharmacology, 2020 | |
AbstractThe cross-compliance mechanism of the European Union (EU)'s common agricultural policy (CAP) makes the approval of the direct payments to the European farmers subject to compliance with the requirement to maintain the land in good agricultural and environmental condition. One of the obligations of the Romanian land owners and farmers is to avoid the installation of unwanted vegetation on their land plots. This vegetation is represented by some species of herbaceous or woody plants, annual or perennial, that spontaneously invade the agricultural lands, diminishing the production capacity of the cultivated plants. Included in this category are 10 meadow weeds, without fodder value or even toxic to animals: Arctium lappa L., Carduus nutans L., Conium maculatum L., Eryngium campestre L., Euphorbia cyparissias L., Pteridium aquilinum (L.) Kuhn, Rumex acetosella L., Veratrum album L., Xanthium spinosum L., and Xanthium strumarium L. Various and multiple uses in traditional medicine of these meadow weed species have been reported for Romania and other nine neighboring East European countries, i.e. Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Estonia, Kosovo, Russia, Turkey, Serbia, and Ukraine. For A. lappa were recorded the highest number of ethnomedicinal uses, in the largest number of East European countries, including Romania. C. maculatum and V. album are not recommended for human consumption but can be further investigated as potential sources of pharmaceutically active compounds. Once removed by landowners and farmers from their land, the raw plant material of these 10 species become readily and easily available to the Romanian local communities and the industry of herbal food supplements, while the biodiversity of the agro-ecosystems is maintained. |

Rapa Maria; Zaharia Catalin; Lungu Maria; Stanescu Paul Octavian; Stoica Petruta; Grosu Elena; Tatia Rodica; Coroiu Viorica | Materiale Plastice, 2015 | |
AbstractThe present work reports on the biocompatibility of poly (3-hydroxybutyrate) and poly (3-hydroxybutyrateco-3-hydroxyvalerate) loaded with bacterial cellulose and microcrystalline cellulose via melt processing. Biocompatibility was tested by physico-chemical and in vitro methods. Physico-chemical tests of biocomposites, such as reducing substances, acidity, alkalinity, absorbance by UV/VIS, residue on evaporation were performed on aqueous extract. The cell viability was evaluated by MTT assay. Cell morphology evaluation of cell culture treated with composites was visualized by light microscopy. Also, thermal properties of biocomposites were investigated by DSC analysis. The obtained results have shown good biocompatibility of all biocomposites. |
