Among chronic pains, headache is one of the most common pains. This study is an ethnobotanical study of headache treatment using medicinal plants in Shahrekord region, Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari province. This study was performed by collecting data using an ethnobotanical questionnaire. Data collection was conducted from 21 April 2017 to 19 February 2018 among 29 traditional therapists. Out of 29 people, 8 were female and 21 male. The results of this study showed that according to the ethnobotanical knowledge of Shahrekord, nine medicinal plant species consisting of Salvia haydragea DC., Astragalus hamosus L., Hyoscyamus kotschyanus Pojark, Hypericum scabrum L., Valeriana officinalis, Origanum vulgare L., Anthemis hyalina DC., Adianthum capillus-veneris L, and Dracocephalum multicaule Montbr & Auch belonging to a total of 7 families are used in treating headache. The highest frequency of use was obtained for Salvia haydragea DC. (6%) and Anthemis hyalina DC. (6%). Most plants with anti-headache effect (n: 3) belong to the Lamiaceae family, and the aerial parts (38%) are the most frequently used plant organ for this purpose.This study can provide comprehensive data on clinical remedies based on centuries of experience in the field of headache and thus might lead to perform further clinical trials of these remedies for the treatment of cephalic pain.  }, Keywords = {Neurological diseases, Headache, Ethnobotany, Shahrekord, Iran}, volume = {1}, Number = {1}, pages = {4-9}, publisher = {}, doi = {10.29252/pbp.1.1.4}, url = {http://pbp.medilam.ac.ir/article-1-35-en.html}, eprint = {http://pbp.medilam.ac.ir/article-1-35-en.pdf}, journal = {Plant Biotechnology Persa}, issn = {2676-7414}, eissn = {2676-7414}, year = {2019} } @article{ author = {Bahmani, Mahmou}, title = {A New Method for Promoting Biologic Synthesis and Reducing the Size of Titanium Dioxide Nanoparticles (Tio2 NPs) Synthesized by Origanum Vulgare}, abstract ={As it is known the particle size is the most important issue in the preparation of nanoparticles. Nowadays, conventional drug therapy is characterized by limited effectiveness and undesirable side effects which are due to the lack of selectivity and poor distribution. Hence, reduction of particle size is considered as an approach to reduce toxicity, increase release and bioavailability, improve solubility, and produce a better formulation for a higher quality. Therefore, reduction of the particle size of nanoparticles is important. We would like to present a new method we used to reduce the particle average size to 64 nm. In the study of Sankar et al. an aqueous extract was used to prepare the nanoparticle and the size of the titanium dioxide nanoparticle synthesized with aqueous Origanum vulgare extract in a Dynamic Light Scattering Analysis was 341 nm. We used hydroalcoholic extract and prepared titanium dioxide nanoparticles by using O. vulgare hydroalcoholic extract. The size of prepared nanoparticles was 64 nm which is about one-fifth of the nanoparticle sizes produced in Renu Sankar et al. study.  }, Keywords = {titanium dioxide,nanoparticles (Tio2 NPs),Origanum vulgare}, volume = {1}, Number = {1}, pages = {10-12}, publisher = {}, doi = {10.29252/pbp.1.1.10}, url = {http://pbp.medilam.ac.ir/article-1-5-en.html}, eprint = {http://pbp.medilam.ac.ir/article-1-5-en.pdf}, journal = {Plant Biotechnology Persa}, issn = {2676-7414}, eissn = {2676-7414}, year = {2019} } @article{ author = {Bahmani, Fariba and Kazemeini, Hamidreza and Hoseinzadeh-Chahkandak, Fatemeh and Farkhondeh, Tahereh and sedaghat, mahshi}, title = {Sedation with Medicinal Plants: A Review of Medicinal Plants with Sedative Properties in Iranian Ethnoblotanical Documents}, abstract ={The complexity of today's modern society, increasing problems and changes in lifestyles can lead all to stress and anxiety. To control stress and anxiety, sedative drugs that have anxiolytic and sedative effects and temporarily calm the person and lead to a pleasant sleep are used. However, it must also be kept in mind that each of these drugs have their own side effects. The information in this review study was obtained from scientific publications indexed in databases such as the Information Sciences Institute, PubMed, Scopus, Scientific Information Database, Magiran, and Google Scholar that were retrieved by using relevant search terms including sedative, ethnobotany, herbal drug, Iran, medicinal plants, extracts, and essential oils. A total of 46 articles were retrieved by our initial search. The articles were reviewed. Forty three articles were further reviewed, 16 of which were finally used to review the sedative effects in ethnobotany. Being sedative is one of the reported properties of some herbal drugs. The use of these materials can be beneficial and will not cause side effects like those of conventional sedative drugs. The use of oral herbal drugs is one of the ancient methods that have been used to control anxiety, stress and pain. Besides, numerous side effects of chemical drugs have caused a renewed tendency to use herbal medicine. Therefore, this study is aimed to introduce some of the most effective medicinal plants with sedative properties based on Iranian ethnobotanical documents.}, Keywords = {,Sedative,medicinal plants,ethnobotany,Iran}, volume = {1}, Number = {1}, pages = {13-24}, publisher = {}, doi = {10.29252/pbp.1.1.13}, url = {http://pbp.medilam.ac.ir/article-1-11-en.html}, eprint = {http://pbp.medilam.ac.ir/article-1-11-en.pdf}, journal = {Plant Biotechnology Persa}, issn = {2676-7414}, eissn = {2676-7414}, year = {2019} } @article{ author = {Moradniani, Mosayed and Abbaszadeh, Saber}, title = {The Relationship between Helicobacter pylori Infection in the Stomach and Reflux Esophagitis in Patients Referring to Khorramabad Shohada Hospital, Lorestan Province, Southwest Iran between 2014 and 2018}, abstract ={Gastroesophageal reflux disease is a common disorder of the digestive tract. Esophageal mucosa exposure to gastric acid can lead to mucosal damage such as esophagitis. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between Helicobacter pylori infection in the stomach and reflux esophagitis in patients referring to the endoscopy units of hospitals in Khorramabad between 2014 and 2018. In this cross-sectional study, all patients who referred for endoscopy to the Endoscopy Units of Shohadaye Ashayer and Shahid Rahimi Hospitals of Khorramabad during 2014-2018 were studied. H. pylori infection was diagnosed based on pathological specimens. All patients' information including age, sex, presence of esophagitis (its grade), and H. pylori infection were recorded in the questionnaires and their relationship with esophagitis and its grade as well as H. pylori infection was statistically analyzed. Tables and charts were used to describe the data. T-test and Chi-square were used to investigate the relationship between variables. The frequency of esophagitis in our patients was 52.8%, with the highest frequency obtained for grade B esophagitis (48%). In this study, the prevalence of H. pylori infection was 57.5%. This rate was 55.4% in patients with esophagitis, with a statistically significant difference to the group without esophagitis (P=0.0009). There was a significant relationship between grade A esophagitis and H. pylori infection (P=0.0002). This study suggests a significant relationship between H. pylori infection and esophagitis in affected patients.  }, Keywords = {,Helicobacter pylori,Reflux esophagitis,Endoscopy unit,Khorramabad,Iran}, volume = {1}, Number = {1}, pages = {25-35}, publisher = {}, doi = {10.29252/pbp.1.1.25}, url = {http://pbp.medilam.ac.ir/article-1-9-en.html}, eprint = {http://pbp.medilam.ac.ir/article-1-9-en.pdf}, journal = {Plant Biotechnology Persa}, issn = {2676-7414}, eissn = {2676-7414}, year = {2019} } @article{ author = {Beiranvand, Fatemeh and Alizadeh, Mohse}, title = {Plants for Remedies of Diabetes Mellitus in Iran}, abstract ={Diabetes mellitus is a disease occurs when blood glucose is too high.
