Herbarium collections and field data‐based plant diversity maps for Burkina Faso
Marco Schmidt, Holger Kreft, Adjima Thiombiano, Georg Zizka
A map of plant species diversity in Burkina Faso is presented based on field observations and specimen data from the Ouagadougou University Herbarium (OUA) and the Herbarium Senckenbergianum (FR). A map of collecting intensity and field observations illustrates centres of botanical research activities in Burkina Faso. To overcome problems asso(...)

Parental Death and Children’s Schooling in Burkina Faso
Jean‐François Kobiané, Anne‐Emmanuèle Calvès, and Richard Marcoux
On observe au cours des dernières années, un intérêt croissant pour l’étude du bien-être des orphelins, sans doute en relation avec la pandémie du VIH/SIDA. Aussi, une majeure partie de la littérature sur les orphelins porte sur les pays d’Afrique de l’Est ou Australe, régions les plus touchées par le VIH/SIDA. On sait pourtant peu de choses s(...)

Indigenous West African plants as novel sources of polysaccharide degrading enzymes: application in the reduction of the viscosity of cereal porridges
144. DICKO Mamoudou. H., Searle-van LEEUWEN, M. J. F., BELDMAN, G., OUEDRAOGO, O. G., HILHORST, R. and TRAORE, A. S
Ethnobotanical and biochemical surveys revealed that some local plants from West Africa are novel sources of polysaccharide degrading enzymes such as amylases and glucanases. The study shows that these enzymes could be used for various biotechnological applications. In a crude extract of Curculigo pilosa, ß-amylase was the main starch hydrolyz(...)

Acute toxicity and antioxydant property of Striga hermonthica (Del.) Benth (Scrophulariaceae)
Martin Kiendrebeogo, Marie-Geneviève Dijoux-Franca, Charles Euloge Lamien, Aline Meda, Denis Wouessidjewe
Plants containing flavonoids have been reported to possess strong antioxidant properties. The aqueous acetone extract of Striga hermonthica was further separated into aqueous and ethyl acetate fractions and assayed for their in vitro antioxidant properties using 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH). The crude extract exhibits a weak antioxidan(...)

Profil lipidique au cours de l’infection par le VIH à Ouagadougou-Burkina Faso: intérêt des marqueurs lipidiques dans le suivi de l’évolution de l’infection à VIH
E. KABRE
Le VIH détruit le système immunitaire de l'organisme chez les personnes infectées entraînant ainsi des perturbations métaboliques au rang desquelles des troubles lipidiques. L'objectif de cette étude a été d'établir le profil lipidique au cours de l'infection par le VIH chez des patients adultes burkinabé reçus en pré-inclusion thérapeutique a(...)

Antioxidant and antibacterial activities of polyphenols from ethnomedicinal plants of Burkina Faso
KAROU, D., Mamoudou H. DICKO, SIMPORE, J., and Traoré, A. S
Polyphenols from four medicinal plants of Burkina Faso, Combretum micranthum, Khaya senegalensis, Pterocarpus erinaceus and Sida acuta, were screened for their antioxidant and antimicrobial activities against pathogenic bacteria. The medicinal plants displayed different polyphenols contents and antioxidant activities. The bark of P. erinaceus(...)

Christianisme, colonialisme et nationalisme culturel en Afrique noire à l’heure de la décolonisation, 1945-1960
Magloire Somé
Cet article analyse les réactions des élites africaines face à l'acculturation occidentale en Afrique. Le christianisme est perçu comme le bras spirituel de la colonisation et dénoncé par les élites nationalistes. Cependant, certaines élites christianisées considéraient que le christianisme est désormais une donnée religieuse africaine à prend(...)

Evaluation of the Effect of Germination on Phenolic Compounds and Antioxidant Activities in Sorghum Varieties
DICKO, Mamoudou. H., GRUPPEN, H., TRAORE, A. S.; van BERKEL, W. J. H. and VORAGEN, A. G. J.
The screening of 50 sorghum varieties showed that, on average, germination did not affect the content in total phenolic compounds but decreased the content of proanthocyanidins, 3-deoxyanthocyanidins, and flavan-4-ols. Independent of germination, there are intervarietal differences in antioxidant activities among sorghum varieties. Phenolic co(...)

Voltammetric assay of Guaifenesin in pharmaceutical formulation
I. TAPSOBA
The electrochemical oxidation of Guaifenesin in a pharmaceutical formulation containing Guaifenesin has been carried out in Britton–Robinson buffer (BRB)(0.04 mol L− 1) on platinum electrode. Guaifenesin exhibits a well-defined irreversible oxidation peak at 0.924 V/ref. The influence of pH on the oxidation of Guaifenesin was studied in BRB (p(...)
