El-Monsef, M.E. Abd,El-Atik, A.A.,El-Sharkasy, M.M. Department of Mathematics 2005 Kyungpook mathematical journal Vol.45 No.4

The class of b-open sets in the sense of $Andrijevi{\acute{c}}$ ([3]), was discussed by El-Atik ([9]) under the name of ${\gamma}-open$ sets. This class is closed under arbitrary union. The aim of this paper is to use ${\Lambda}-sets$ and ${\vee}-sets$ due to Maki ([15]) some topologies are constructed with the concept of b-open sets. $b-{\Lambda}-sets,\;b-{\vee}-sets$ are the basic concepts introduced and investigated. Moreover, several types of near continuous function based on $b-{\Lambda}-sets,\;b-{\vee}-sets$ are constructed and studied.

Pβ-connectedness in grill topological spaces

Abd El Fattah El Atik,Atef Hussien 원광대학교 기초자연과학연구소 2021 ANNALS OF FUZZY MATHEMATICS AND INFORMATICS Vol.22 No.1

A grill-$P_{\beta}$-connectedness is more generalization of $P_{\beta}$- connectedness and connectedness and amounting to grill-preconnectedness. The properties of this motif are studied and its relationship with other forms of grill-connectedness. Grill locally preindiscrete spaces are defiened as the spaces in which grill-preopen sets are grill-closed. In these spaces grill connectedness becomes amounting to grill preconnectedness and hence to grill-$P_{\beta}$-connectedness, and grill-semi-connectedness becomes equivalent to grill-$P_{\beta}$-connectedness. The motif of locally grill-$P_{\beta}$-connected space is introduced.

This scientific work involves a phytochemical study of a medicinal plant endemic to the south of Algeria: Limoniatrum feei Girard (Batt.). The study of the antioxidant effects and the evaluation of the cytotoxicity were reported. Polar organic extracts: methanol, ethanol and acetone of L. feei presented considerable levels of phenols and flavonoids. These levels were ranged from 127.07 to 262.11 mg GAE/g and 84 to 157.88 mg CEQ/g, respectively. Considerable antioxidant activity of polar organic extracts of L. feei was revealed. In the DPPH scavenging method, methanolic extract expressed an IC50 of about 3.2 μg/mL which is comparable to that of the ascorbic acid (2.48 μg/mL). The same extract expressed strong antioxidant power against hydroxyl radical with an IC50 of about 36.33 μg/mL, which is higher than that of the ascorbic acid (61.83 μg/mL). In the test of the β-carotene bleaching, acetone extract expressed a remarkable antioxidant power comparable to the positive control (IC50: 5.85 μg/mL and 4.26 μg/mL, respectively). A low cytotoxic activity against human red blood cells was exerced by the methanol extract of L. feei, this could explaine the safety uses of this plant by indigenous populations.

The valorization of the local flora is the goal of the laboratory of Natural Products from the University of Tlemcen (Algeria). In this work, we report the scientific study of a medicinal plant Cynoglossum cheirifolium L. The crude methanol and tannin extracts of C. cheirifolium were preliminary analyzed for their phenolic contents (total phenolics, total flavonoids and total tannins). These extracts were evaluated for their antioxidant properties using different methods. The results showed that crude methanolic extract of the leaves part revealed high phenolic (134.93 ± 9.76 mg Gallic Acid Equivalent/g Dry Weigth), flavonoid (99.99 ± 0.72 mg Catechin Equivalent/g Dry Weigth) and condensed tannin contents (1.65 ± 0.05 mg Catechin Equivalent/g Dry Weigth). Furthermore, the results obtained from the study of the antioxidant activity showed that tannin extract of stems displayed the highest DPPH• scavenging ability with the inhibition concentration of 50% (IC50) value of 70 ± 1 μg/mL, it was comparable to the Vitamin E with an IC50 value of 60 ± 1 μg/mL. The vitamin E concentration required to reduce the ferric iron was lower (242 ± 6 μg/mL) than tannins extracted from leaves (214 ± 4 μg/mL). Hence, using an RP-HPLC-PDA (Reverse Phase-High Pressure Liquid Chromatography-PhotoDiode Array Detector) analysis, it was possible to identify phenolic acids and flavonoid like rutin; naringenin; rosmarinic acid; sinapic acid; p-coumaric acid; ferulic acid; caffeic acid and syringic acid.

Objective: The aim was to assess the intraobserver and interobserver reliabilities of temporomandibular joint linear measurements and condylar shape classifications performed with cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). Methods: CBCT images of 30 patients were measured at two different time points by two orthodontists using the Dolphin 3D program (n = 60). Anterior, posterior, and superior joint space measurements and sagittal joint morphology classification in the sagittal view and medial and lateral joint space and mediolateral width measurements and coronal joint morphology classification in the coronal view were recorded. Intraclass-interclass correlation coefficients (ICC) and kappa statistics were used to assess intraobserver and interobserver reliability for the measurements and morphology classifications, respectively. Results: The ICC values were good for measurements of the posterior joint space by observer I and for measurements of the posterior, medial, and lateral joint spaces by observer II, while the other intraobserver measurements were excellent. Only the mediolateral width measurements showed excellent interobserver ICC values, while the other measurements showed good interobserver ICC values. Intraobserver agreement for the sagittal morphology classifications was moderate (k = 0.479) and almost perfect (k = 0.858) for observers I and II, respectively, while the corresponding agreement for the coronal morphology classifications was substantial for both observers. The interobserver agreement values for sagittal and coronal morphology classifications were slight (k = 0.181) and fair (k = 0.265), respectively. Conclusions: Linear temporomandibular joint measurements were reproducible and reliable in both intraobserver and interobserver evaluations. However, interobserver agreement for assessments of condylar shape was low.

In vitro antioxidant activity and phytochemical analysis of Teucrium pseudo-Scorodonia Desf. Collected from Algeria

Teucrium pseudo-Scorodonia Desf., is one of many Mediterranean plants widely used in Algerian folk medicine for their medicinal properties. This study represents the first antioxidant investigation of Teucrium pseudo-Scorodonia with different analytical methods. Total phenolic, flavonoid, and condensed tannin contents were determined using spectrophotometric techniques. In vitro antioxidant and radical scavenging profiling was determined through total antioxidant capacity (TAC), DPPH radical-scavenging, ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP), and β-carotene bleaching assays. Leaf extracts exhibited high total phenolics (266.36 ± 0.14 mg GAE/g DW), flavonoids (161.23 ± 0.18 mg CE/g DW) and condensed tannins (5.00 ± 0.08 mg CE/g DW) contents. The greatest antioxidant activity was founding in the butanolic fraction of leaves (IC50.DPPH = 0.05 ± 0.00 mg/ml) followed by crude methanolic extract and ethyl acetate fraction. These values were to some extent high in comparison to the positive control (0.07 ± 0.01 mg/ml). The same tendency was observed with ferric reducing power. A strong correlation of IC50 values of antioxidant assays with total phenolics and total flavonoids content of T. pseudo-Scorodonia was exhibited in this study. Thin layer chromatographic (TLC) screening using DPPH radical, AlCl3 and FeCl3 as detection reagents led to the identification of potent antioxidant compounds: methylated flavonoids or hydroxyflavonols. These results indicate that flavonoids and phenolics can be the major contributors to the antioxidant activity observed for the T. pseudo-Scorodonia leaf extracts. Further study is necessary for isolation and characterization of the active antioxidants, which may serve as a potential source of natural antioxidants.
