Abstract

Various extracts, petroleum ether (60-80°), chloroform, acetone, ethanol, aqueous and crude aqueous, of flowers of Cassia auriculata Linn. (Caesalpiniaceae) and the fractions of chloroform and ethanolic extracts were tested for anti-hyperglycemic activity in glucose over loaded hyperglycemic rats. The effective anti-hyperglycemic extracts and water-soluble fraction of ethanolic extract were tested for their hypoglycemic activity at two-dose levels, 200 and 400 mg/kg, respectively. To confirm their utility in higher model the effective extracts and fraction of C. auriculata were subjected to antidiabetic study in alloxan induced diabetic model at two dose levels, 200 and 400 mg/kg, respectively. The chloroform extract, ethanolic extract and the water-soluble fraction of ethanolic extract were found to exhibit significant (p<0.05) (p<0.01) anti-hyperglycemic and hypoglycemia activities. Treatment of diabetic rats with chloroform extract, ethanolic extract and the water soluble fraction of ethanolic extract of this plant restored the elevated biochemical parameters, glucose, urea, creatinine, serum cholesterol, serum triglyceride, HDL, LDL, hemoglobin and glycosylated hemoglobin significantly (p<0.05) (p<0.01) to the near normal level. Comparatively the chloroform extract was found to be more effective followed by water-soluble fraction of ethanolic extract and ethanolic extract. The activity of chloroform extract was comparable with that of the standard drug, glibenclamide.

Abstract

People from most poor communities of developing countries like India have characteristically low body weight and substandard stature. As growth during adolescence contributes significantly to attainment of final anthropometric measurements of an individual, investigations on adolescent growth patterns among such communities assume significance.

Abstract

Hair-care products may be defined as the preparation which are meant for cleansing, modifying the texture, changing of the color, giving life to the stressed hair, providing nourishment to the hair and giving the healthy look to the hair. The word revitalize truly symbolizes the term what is routinely called as re-nourish or conditioning. Now its time to provide dry, easily puck able, fatigue, environmentally stress / chemically stress / genetically stress hair by such a vital element which give the hair its natural life, look and sheen. Liposome is microscopic small vesicles (hollow spheres) consisting of one or several lipids bilayers that surround a watery nucleus. The rationale for including liposome in cosmetic formulations is that liposome might be a carrier to deliver entrapped molecules into or across the skin they might act as penetration enhancers owing to penetration of individual lipid components, they might act as depots for sustained release, they might act as rate-limiting membranes for controlled release, they often are biodegradable, have a low toxicity and are relatively non immunogenic as well as that they might have additional useful (cosmetic) properties. In the present work some hair revitalizers are used in the form of liposomes and these are then incorporated in hair care formulations. The results are given below.

Keywords

Hair Revitalizer, Liposomes.

Abstract

Vitex nigundo, Boswellia serrate, Curcuma longa and Tinospora cordifolia produce synergistic action in rheumatoid arthritis. The clinical efficacy of an Ayurvedic indigenous formation containing Vitex nigundo, Boswellia serrata, Curcuma longa and Tinospora cordifolia was evaluated in a randomized, double blind, placedo controlled, cross-over study in 20 patients of rheumatoid arthritis. Treatment with the indigenous formulation for the period of 3 months produced significantly greater relief of pain, decreased morning stiffness, decrease in Ritche articular index and joint score.

Abstract

For certain class of functions analytic in the unit disk and by employing Ruscheweyh derivative of certain order, some inequalties for specific multivalent functions have been established and appeal to be much general in nature than the ones found earlier.

Abstract

The new subclass denoted by S_q (α, β, γ) of q-valent holomorphic functions has been introduced

|zf'(z)/f(z)-q/2ξ(zf'(z)/f(z)-α)-(zf'(z)/f(z)-q)|<β

where 0≤ α <q, O<β≤1,1/2< ξ ≤ 1.

A systematic investigation of this new class of q-valent holomorphic functions has been presented. We have obtained results like representation formula, distortion properties, extreme points and its application.

Keywords

Q-Valent Function, Distortion Property, Extreme Points, Representation Formula.
