Investigation of Antidiarrhoeal and Antimotility Activities of Methanolic Extract of Musa Sapientum Flowers and Fruit Peels

Gourahari Panda, P. Narasimha Murthy, Iswori Prasad Padhy, Ghanshyam Panigrahi

ABSTRACTThe objective of the present study was investigation of antidiarrhoeal and antimotility activities of methanolic extract of musa sapientum (family- Musaceae) flowers and fruit peels. The phytochemical analysis of both extracts of Musa sapientum revealed the presence of alkaloids, carbohydrates, glycosides, saponins, proteins, coumarins, flavonoids, triterpenoids, tannins and phenolic compounds. The extracts were evaluated for castor oil- induced diarrhoea and intestinal motility test in rats. Both the methanolic extracts were significantly (p<0.05) and dose dependently reduced frequency of stooling in castor oil-induced diarrhoea and anti-motility action in intestinal motility test. These findings suggest that the methanolic extract of the musa sapientum flowers and fruit peels may contain some biologically active ingredients that are useful for the treatment of diarrhoea.

Jejunostomy Following Complete Jejunal Transection After Blunt Abdominal Trauma: A Rare Case Report

Sitaram yadav, Anju Nagar, Radheshyam Meena, Ramesh Suthar

ABSTRACTAbdominal injury following road traffic accident is less common, compared to the extremities, head and chest. Bowel may get injured following blunt abdominal trauma, but perforation and complete transection is rare. Reports of intestinal perforation during low energy impacts such as bicycle falls, are extremely rare. We report a case of 30-year-old male, who presented with severe abdominal pain, following bicycle road traffic accident. Chest X-Ray was normal, X ray flat plain abdomen showed air under both dome of the diaphragm and abdominal FAST scan revealed intra-peritoneal free fluid with internal echoes. Early exploration and prompt surgical intervention led to the successful outcome in this patientKeywords: Blunt trauma abdomen, isolated jejunal transection, double barrel jejunostomy.
