Revisiting regimens from a philosophical perspective

2025-05-30T21:42:44+07:00

Many regimen trends that aim to protect and enhance health, improve the body, and control chronic diseases have been introduced and developed in Vietnam. Especially after the COVID-19 pandemic, people care more about their health, but the expansion of regimen trends started many discussions and misunderstandings. This article reanalyzed three classic books, “Dao De Jing”, “Nan Hua Jing,” and “Huang Di Nei Jing,” based on recent achievements in science and modern medicine to strengthen the basis of regimens based on the perspectives of Taoism and Traditional Medicine. The objectives are to determine the core values and notices in regimen practices. Within the example of Oshawa’s macrobiotics, the article aims to remind regimen practitioners not to follow them without comprehension and re-equalization.

The effectiveness of cooperative learning on writing skills for 9th graders at Binh Phu secondary school

2025-05-30T21:49:11+07:00

This study examines the effectiveness of cooperative learning on the writing skills of ninth-grade students at Binh Phu Secondary School and investigates their attitudes and perceptions of cooperative learning. A case study research design was employed, integrating both quantitative and qualitative data collection methods. The research instruments included documents and interviews. The analysis in this study is based on the time series method proposed by Yin [1]. The findings revealed that cooperative learning significantly enhanced students' writing skills in terms of organization, content, and language use. The students' writing improvement was observed over a three-week period. In the individual error check, students identified a total of 102 errors. However, in the group error check, 331 errors were identified, and 290 out of 331 errors were successfully corrected.

Formulation and evaluation of hard capsule containing extract of Calyx hibisci

2025-05-30T22:26:31+07:00

Hibiscus sabdariffa L. calyx is a medicinal herb with many pharmacological effects and is widely used for lowering uricemia. However, H. sabdariffa calyx is only commonly used in traditional formulations, and research on modern formulations from H. sabdariffa calyx is still very limited. The study aimed to formulate and evaluate the capsules containing the extract of H. sabdariffa calyx. H. sabdariffa calyx was extracted by using percolation. Extraction method was investigated by using distilled water and 96% ethanol. The hard capsule was formulated by using absorbent (aerosil/CaCO3), diluent (acivel PH 102), disintegrant (sodium croscarmellose), and glidant (talc) and wet granulation method. The amount of anthocyanin in capsule was determined by UV spectrometry. H. sabdariffa calyx was extracted using distilled water. The capsule contains H.sabdariffa calyx extract (63.29%), aerosil/CaCO3 (12.66%), avicel PH 102 (22.15%),sodium croscarmellose (1.27%) and talc (0.63%). The anthocyanin content in the capsulewas 0.714%. The capsule was successfully prepared and evaluated.

Survey on morphological - anatomycal characteristics and antioxidant activity of Eclipta prostrata L.

2025-06-01T21:04:46+07:00

Eclipta prostrata L. is a member of the Asteraceae plant family and inhabited in tropical or subtropical regions of the world. E. prostrata has liver-protective effects, anti-venom properties against snake venom, antioxidant properties, promotes hair growth, and aids in wound healing,... In this study, the morphology and anatomy of E. prostrata were studied. Beside that, the antioxidant activity of E. prostrata was investigated. E. prostrata was identified by comparing its morphological characteristics with botanical descriptions found in various documents and the Vietnamese pharmacopoeia V. Photograph and describe the morphological and anatomical characteristics. The microstructure of the stem and leaves was stained with alum carmine and iodine green dyes. Qualitative analysis of active compounds was performed using the Cuilei method. The 2,2-Diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free radical scavenging activity was used to determine antioxidant potential. Morphology: herbs, circular cross section. Leaves opposite, simple. Anatomy: Young stems usually circular, collenchyma was present usually under the epidermis. The soft extract of E. prostrata contains active ingredients including saponins, flavonoids, coumarins, and tannins. The antioxidant activity of the E. prostrata extract was determined using the DPPH free radical scavenging method, showing good antioxidant activity with an IC50 value of 54.898 μg/ml. Thus, the morphological and anatomical characteristics of E. prostrata, as well as the antioxidant activity of its extract, were investigated.
