Biodegradation of phenolic compounds is a promising alternative to physical and chemical methods used to remove these toxic pollutants from the environment. The ability of various microorganisms to metabolize phenol and its derivatives (alkylphenols, nitrophenols and halogenated derivatives) has therefore been intensively studied. Knowledge of the enzymes catalyzing the individual reactions, the genes encoding these enzymes and the regulatory mechanisms involved in the expression of the respective genes in bacteria serves as a basis for the development of more efficient degraders of phenols via genetic engineering methods. Engineered bacteria which efficiently degrade phenolic compounds were constructed in laboratories using various approaches such as cloning the catabolic genes in multicopy plasmids, the introduction of heterologous genes or broadening the substrate range of key enzymes by mutagenesis. Efforts to apply the engineered strains in in situ bioremediation are problematic, since engineered strains often do not compete successfully with indigenous microorganisms. New efficient degraders of phenolic compounds may be obtained by complex approaches at the organism level, such as genome shuffling or adaptive evolution. The application of these engineered bacteria for bioremediation will require even more complex analysis of both the biological characteristics of the degraders and the physico-chemical conditions at the polluted sites.

BACKGROUND: In this study, we present and analyze toponyms referring to Socotra Island's endemic dragon's blood tree (Dracaena cinnabari) in four areas on the Socotra Archipelago UNESCO World Heritage site (Republic of Yemen). The motivation is the understanding of the past distribution of D. cinnabari trees which is an important part of conservation efforts by using ethnobotanical data. We assumed that dragon's blood trees had a wider distribution on Socotra Island in the past. METHODS: This research was based on field surveys and interviews with the indigenous people. The place names (toponyms) were recorded in both Arabic and the indigenous Socotri language. We grouped all toponyms into five different categories according to the main descriptor: terrain, human, plant, water, and NA (unknown). Also, this study identified current and historical Arabic names of dragon's blood trees of the genus Dracaena through literature review. RESULTS: A total of 301 toponyms were recorded from the four study areas in Socotra Island. Among names related to plants, we could attribute toponyms to nine different plants species, of which six toponyms referred to the D. cinnabari tree, representing 14.63% of the total phytotoponyms in the category. Three historical naming periods prior to 2000 could be identified. The most commonly used name for dragon's blood trees (D. cinnabari, D. serrulata, D. ombet) appears to be "ahrieb" "إعريهب" and its resin "dum al-akhawin" "دم الأخوين," while derived (mixed-cooked) products are called "eda'a" "إيدع," while regionally different names can be found. CONCLUSION: The place names that refer to D. cinnabari are herein suggested to represent remnant areas of once large populations. Therefore, the toponyms may support known hypotheses based on climate models that D. cinnabari had a wider distribution on Socotra Island in the past. This study also confirmed the historical importance of dragon's blood.

AIM OF THE STUDY: The present paper documents the uses of plants in traditional herbal medicine for treatment of human and veterinary ailments in four village development committees in the Humla district of western Nepal. It also determines the homogeneity of informant's knowledge on medicinal plants suitable for different ailment categories and the most preferred plant species used to treat each ailment category in the study areas. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The ethnobotanical information was collected through semi-structured interviews and key informant discussion. The data were analyzed through informant consensus factor (ICF), fidelity level (FL) and use value (UV). RESULTS: We documented 161 plant species belonging to 61 families and 106 genera used for treating 73 human and 7 veterinary ailments. We also documented culinary uses and additional uses for 67 and 33 species of medicinal plant species respectively. Most medicines were prepared in the form of powder and used orally. Roots were most frequently used plant parts. The uses of 93 medicinal plants were not mentioned in any previous studies. Gastro-intestinal ailments have the highest ICF (0.40) whereas opthalmological uses have the lowest (zero) ICF. Mentha spicata and Rumex hastatus has the highest FL (100% each) both being used for gastro-intestinal ailments and Delphinium himalayai has the lowest (47.4%) for veterinary uses. CONCLUSIONS: ICF values indicated that there was high agreement in the use of plants in gastro-intestinal ailment category among the users. FL or UV values indicated the most preferred plant species used in study areas. These preferred plant species could be prioritized for conservation and subjected to further studies related to chemical screening for their authenticity. Most of the medicinal plants of the region are collected in the wild and are often harvested for trade. Sustainable harvesting methods and domestication of the highly traded species is thus needed in the study areas.

The presented paper refers to specific philosophic, cultural aspects and lifestyle of the Navajo nation that differ significantly from the European philosophy, culture and lifestyle. The information on Navajos´ life philosophy, lifestyle, and traditions, which are special mainly because of native culture of the Navajo nation, was collected during participation in educational activities at the Summer Institute, implemented by the School of Nursing, Northern Arizona University. The stay lasting several days in the Navajo reservation provided an opportunity for stimulating discussions with the representatives of the Navajo tribe and teachers, who educate nurses who are looking after Navajo Indians in the reservation.

Ve svém díle autor předkládá vlastní koncepci ozdravení lidského organizmu a věnuje se následujícím otázkám: - medicína z pozice pravdy; - omlazování lidského organizmu; - pět pravidel zdraví a dlouhověkosti; - unikátní metoda fermentace rostlin; - staroslovanské recepty léčivých nápojů; - návody k léčbě nejrůznějších onemocnění; - působení na lidský organizmus prostřednictvím mysli. Je pro nás velkou ctí představit tohoto vzácného autora českému čtenáři. V tuto chvíli lze bez nadsázky říci, že mnohdy nevšední názory Borise Bolotova, k nimž dospěl v průběhu mnoholetých výzkumů a léčitelské praxe, předznamenávají medicínu budoucna.
