Renal stones is a common disease of the urinary tract that many people suffer from it. Although there are many herbal and chemical drugs for the prevention and treatment of kidney stones in recent years, there is no effective and safe drug treatment that can lead to complete treatment and prevention of these diseases. Today, the use of herbal products is considered by researchers because of the harmful and side effects of chemical drugs. This research was carried out with the purpose of determining the herbal tea effect of leaf and stem of Apium graveolens L. and Kelussia odoratissima odoratissima Mozaff. on the formation and dissolution of calcium oxalate. In order to study the dissolution and precipitation of calcium oxalate salt, electrochemical and classic analytical methods were used. The experimental results of complexometery and conductometery techniques reveal that these herbal teas have a good effect on the dissolution and prevention of formation of calcium oxalate stone (P<0.05). According to the findings of this study, these herbal teas could be a good choice for treatment diseases and to prevent calcium oxalate formation in people disposed to kidney stones.

K. odoratissima Mozaff., belonging to the Apiaceae family, is a known medicinal and forage species, endemic to Iran. It has not been reported in other regions of the world. Due to the excessive harvesting in the early period of growth and the relatively high time required for the establishment and seed production, this species does not have the opportunity to revitalize and seed production and for this reason, it is considered as one of the endangered species of Iran. Advances in tissue culture can be most effective in propagation of endangered plants as well as increasing the genetic potential of medicinal plants. To study the effect hormonal treatments on callus induction sterile seedling explants were prepared. Treatments included MS basal medium along with different hormonal levels (2,4-D (0.5, 1 and 2 mg/l) or a1, a2, a3 + Kin (0, 0.5 and 1 mg/l) or b1, b2, b3) and Ms basal medium with (NAA (0.5, 1 and 2 mg/l) or a4, a5, a6 + BA (0, 0.5 and 1 mg/l) or b4, b5, b6). After a month, growth (size), weight and callus induction percentage were measured and compared. Considering the above traits, the maximum size of callus (6.41mm) and the most callus induction percentage (93%) were obtained at 2,4-D (2mgl-1)+kin (0.5mgl-1) while the highest callus weight was obtained at NAA (1mgl-1) + BA (0.5mgl-1).Combined hormones (2mg/l 2,4-D + 0.5 mg/l kin) and (2mg/l NAA + 0.5mg/l BA) in two media, MS and B5, along with three antioxidants (PVP, PVPP and PVP + PVPP), totally 12 treatments, were evaluated within four consecutive weeks under broth condition and cell suspension establishment. According to the results, significant differences were found (p< 0.05) among the factors affecting cell dry weight while these factors had no significant effect on fresh weight. The highest fresh and dry weights were obtained at B5 medium with PVP (0.1) (1.6940 gr). Fresh and dry weight of cells showed an increasing trend during the consecutive weeks.

Due to side effects of chemical drugs, special attention is given to pharmaceutical plants recently. Mountainous celery with scientific name of Kelussia odoratissima Mozzaf., is one of the valuable pharmaceutical plants which is used in Iran seriously and is exposed to danger of extinction. This plant is indigenous of central Zagros Mountains (especially Chahar Mahal Bakhtiari province) and only has been observed in Iran. First, in order to consider the chemical constituents of this plant and discover its pharmaceutical characteristics, three ecotypes have been harvested. The ecotypes contained Kouhrang, Bazoft and Doaab Samsami ecotypes and samples were in 200 meter transact. In growth stage, samples were prepared for each ecotype and their essential oils were obtained by hydro-distillation. The essential oils were analysed by gas choromotography coupled with mass spectrometery and the major components of essential oils of three ecotypes were characterized. 24, 21 and 24 compounds were identified in the samples of Kouhrang, Bazoft and Doaab Samsami, respectively, which indicated 90.4%, 95.6% and 93.6% of total oils. Comparison of essential oils compositions showed the major compounds in all oils were Z-ligustilide, E-ligustilide, 3-n-butyl phthalide, kessane, spathulenol and globulol, which formed about 88.6% of them. The mean percentages of Z-ligustilide and butylidene phetalide in three ecotypes were 39.5% and 19.1%, respectively and these compounds totally presents 58.7% of the celery oil. Phetalid derivatives were 68.6% of celery oil.

Kelussia odoratissima Mozaff. is a plant belonging to the Apiaceaefamily which has got high nutrition and medicinal value and is extensively used for treatment several diseases. The objective of this research was determination of content and composition of fatty acids, total phenolic content and essential oil content on K. odoratissima seed. Extraction of total phenolics content carried out by Folin-Ciocalteu method and the absorbance at 750 nm was measured by spectrophotometer. Results showed that total phenolic content was 288.15 mg GAE/g DW in seed. Hydro distillation by Clevenger-type apparatus was used for the extraction of essential oil. 2.1% essential oil was obtained in the experiment. Moreover, extracting from the seeds was done using Soxhelet method, in addition to measuring fatty acids by GC. The results showed K. odoratissima seeds contain 25% oil. The major fatty acid present in seeds (75.35% of % total) was C18:1 including petroselininc acid (C18:1(n-12)) and oleic acid (C18:1(n-9)). Other fatty acids were including linoleic acid (19.14%), palmitic acid (6.65%), stearic acid (1.9%) and linolenic acid (.95%).
