AB  - The aims of this study were to: (i) examine the toxic effects of sodium fluoride (NaF) in blood, liver, spleen, and brain cells of Wistar rats after the subacute exposure; (ii) explore the potential protective properties of selenium (Se) against fluoride toxicity after the simultaneous administration. Twenty male Wistar rats, eight weeks old, weighing approximately 140–190 g, were divided into four experimental groups (n = 5) as follows: I control-tap water; II NaF 150 ppm; III NaF 150 ppm and Se 1.5 mg/L; IV Se 1.5 mg/L, and had available water with solutions ad libitum for 28 days. DNA damage detected by comet assay was confirmed in the liver, spleen, and brain cells, but not in blood. Selenium supplementation together with NaF decreased DNA damage in liver and spleen cells. According to the histological findings, no changes were observed in spleen and brain tissues after NaF administration. Unlike the observed Se protective effect on the DNA level, no significant reduction of liver tissue injury was observed after the NaF and Se treatment, resulting in mild inflammation. Data of this study suggest that DNA damage after NaF subacute exposure at moderately high concentration was reduced in liver and spleen cells due to Se supplementation, but a similar change was not seen in the brain.

AB  - This study was aimed at investigating the phytochemical composition and antioxidant capacity of rhizomes, above‐ground vegetative parts and flowers of three Iris species: Iris humilis Georgi, Iris pumila L. and Iris variegata L. UHPLC‐Orbitrap MS analysis was used for determination of phytochemical profile. Total pigments, phenolics, flavonoids, soluble sugars and starch content as well as ABTS antioxidant capacity were also determined. In total, 52 phenolics compounds were identified with 9 compounds (derivatives of iriflophenone, apigenin C‐glycosides, luteolin O‐glycoside, isoflavones derivatives of iristectorigenin, dichotomitin, nigracin and irilone) never reported before in Iris spp. Differences in phenolic composition profile, pigments, soluble sugar, starch, total phenolics and flavonoids content and total antioxidant capacity were found among Iris species and different part of plants. Significant correlation between total phenolic content and antioxidant capacity was determined. The obtained results are comparable with those obtained for medical plants. These findings could be useful for fingerprinting characterization of Iris species and estimation of possible use in pharmaceutical industries.

AB  - This study deals with the effect of in vitro digestion on the functional potential of traditional Serbian white-brined cheeses. The total antioxidant capacity, reducing power and iron (II) chelating properties as well as angiotensin-converting enyzme-inhibitory (ACE-inhibitory) and antimicrobial activities of traditional Serbian white-brined cheeses before and after in vitro digestion were assayed. The traditional cheeses had different antioxidant properties as well as different ACE-inhibitory activities. In vitro digestion improved the total antioxidant capacity (8.42⁻58.56 times) and the reducing power (by 17.90⁻99.30%) of investigated cheeses, whereas their chelating ability was slightly improved or unaffected after digestion. In vitro digestion reduced the ACE-inhibitory potential of water-soluble protein fractions, and digested water-insoluble fractions were the major source of ACE-inhibitory peptides. The digestates did not exhibit any antibacterial potential, whereas they showed moderate antifungal potential toward selected micromycetes. The best antifungal potential had Svrljig ovine cheese and Homolje cow cheese. The results of this study clearly point to a significant functionality of traditional white-brined cheeses.

AB  - INTRODUCTION The study provides significant ethnobotanical information on plant resources traditionally used in the Javor Mountain region (eastern Bosnia and Herzegovina), aiming at identifying medicinal plants and collecting information concerning the specific methods of their therapeutic application. METHODS A qualitative anthropological method using a semi-structured questionnaire was used to interview 70 people. The relative importance of wild plant species, as reported by the informants, was assessed by the quantitative methods: use-value (UV), cultural importance value (CIV) and Shannon-Wiener index. Also, the level of homogeneity among information provided by different informants was calculated by the Informants’ Consensus Factor (FIC). RESULTS 73 plant species with medicinal properties were collected, identified and their methods of preparation and uses were recorded. Asteraceae, Lamiaceae and Rosaceae have the greatest species diversity. The most commonly used are Hypericum perforatum, Mentha x piperita, Sambucus nigra and Аchillea millefolium, with UV over 0.9. The most frequently used plant parts are the aerial part (29%) and the leaf (26%), while infusion being the most common way of preparing herbal remedies (57%). The plant most appreciated by the people interviewed was Hypericum perforatum used to treat skin complaints, haemorrhoids, moderate depression, gastrointestinal ailments and respiratory infections. Also, phytotherapeutic use of Veronica officinalis rhizome in jaundice treatment, as well as utilization of Prunus domestica bark for cavity protection were noted. CONCLUSION The results of the current study may be significant in rural development programs in the Javor Mountain region, in aiming to foster community-based strategies of management of natural resources.

AB  - The individual and community-level melliferous potential of apiflora was evaluated in southwestern Vojvodina in order to assess its significance and contribution to the bee pasture. Seven plant communities belonging to ruderal, segetal and floodplain type of vegetation, with a total of 279 plant species were registered. Apifloristic and phytocoenological inves-tigations included the determination and analysis of honey plants using the following parameters: total number, percentage, abundance and frequency of these species in the communities, as well as their intensity of pollen and nectar production. The coenotic coefficient of melliferousness (CCm) indicating the melliferous potential of each community, was calculated based on the above parameters. Although the greatest number of melliferous species was found in the ass. Chenopodio-Ambrosietum artemisiifoliae (132), the highest percentage (80%) of them was registered in the ass. Consolido-Polygonetum avicularis. Considering the coefficients of nectar and pollen production, the most valuable honey plants commonly present in the majority of communities were: Cirsium arvense, Rubus caesius, Lythrum salicaria, Daucus carota, Trifolium pratense, Dipsacus laciniatus, Medicago sativa, Asclepias syriaca, Cichorium intybus and Taraxacum officinale. The low abundance and frequency of melliferous species within the Consolido-Polygonetum avicularis, Polygonetum convolvulo-avicularis and Populetum nigrae-albae communities indicated their poor contribution to the bee pasture. Within ruderal vegetation, the highest CCm was registered in Amorpho-Typhaetum, providing, theoretically, the richest food resource for the honeybees in the investigated area.

AB  - Ethnopharmacological relevance: This study documents the ethnobotanical
   and ethnomedicinal importance of plants in the Suva planina mountain
   region (south-eastern Serbia). It is reflected in their high diversity
   and their wide range of uses in the treatment of the local population.
   The aim of this study was a comparative analysis of data collected in
   the Suva planina region with relevant data from the Western Balkans,
   which included identifying the `most popular' plants, as well as those
   species which are used specifically for treatment solely in the research
   area.
   Materials and methods: Ethnobotanical research was carried out between
   2012 and 2014 and data was collected through both open and
   semi-structured interviews with locals. A total of 66 people were
   interviewed (37 women and 29 men), aged between 49 and 90 (with a mean
   age of 71).
   Results: This study identified 128 plants and 2 fungi which are used in
   ethnomedicine, 5 plant species used in ethnoveterinary medicine, and 16
   plants used for `other' purposes. Lamiaceae (20), Asteraceae (17),
   Rosaceae (16), Brassicaceae (5), Alliaceae (4) and Apiaceae (4) have the
   greatest diversity of species. Results showed that Achillea mellefolium,
   Allium cepa, Allium sativum, Arctostaphyllos uva-ursi, Gentiana lutea,
   Hypericum perforatum, Juglans regia, Matricaria chamomilla, Mentha
   piperita, Plantago lanceolata, Plantago major, Salvia officinalis,
   Sempervivum tectorum, Tilia cordata and Thymus sepyllum are the `most
   popular' medicinal plants (UV=1). Those plants with the most
   phytotherapeutic uses are Gentiana cruciata (14), H. perforatum (11) and
   A. sadvum (10), while the most common conditions treated with medicinal
   plants are respiratory (79), urogenital (53), gastrointestinal (51),
   skin (43) and those relating to the circulatory system (35). A
   comparative analysis of the data collected in the research area and that
   from other parts of the Western Balkans showed that there are great
   similarities within Serbia between Suva planina and the Zlatibor region
   (37.2\%) and Kopaonik Mt. (32.3\%), while further afield it is most
   similar to Bosnia and Herzegovina (40.9\%) and Bulgaria (40.6\%).
   Moreover, it was established that 14 plant species and 2 fungi are used
   only in the Suva planina region, which points to the specificity of the
   diversity and the sound knowledge of medicinal plants in this region.
   Conclusions: Our results confirm that medicinal plants are an invaluable
   resource of the research area and need to be protected as they
   contribute to an improvement in living standards and the survival of
   people threatened by unfavourable demographic trends. However, due to
   over-exploitation, some plants have become exceptionally rare and are
   under threat, leading to the need for their rational use and protection
   so as to ensure they are still around for future generations. (C) 2015
