Objective: To screen the wound healing activity of different extracts of galls of Quercus infectoria on incision, excision and dead space (granulation) wound models in albino rats. Materials and method: Crude aqueous extract of Quercus infectoria galls and its three different crude fractions, petroleum ether (40°-60°C), solvent ether, ethyl acetate were tested for various preliminary phytoconstituents and were screened at dose of 100mg/kg for wound healing properties in incision, excision and dead space (granulation) wound models in albino rats. Results: Tannins, flavonoids, steroids and carbohydrates were found to be present in aqueous extract and its various fractions of galls of Quercus infectoria. In resutured incision wound models aqueous extract and its fractions showed significant (P<0.01) breaking strength compared to control. In excision wound parameters the aqueous extract promotes better wound healing (96.36%) compared to control and organic fractions. Breaking strength of the grass pith induced granuloma studies the results show significant (P<0.01) activity in case of aqueous extract along with solvent ether fraction. Conclusion: From the results obtained, it can be observed that aqueous extract and its fractions of galls of Quercus infectoria have significant wound healing property. Also it can be concluded that flavonoids may be responsible for wound healing activity.Keywords

Objectives: To screen the hepatoprotective activity of leaves of Lawsonia alba against carbon tetrachloride induced hepatotoxicity in albino rats. Method: Studies on the hepatoprotective activity of the leaves of Lawsonia alba were carried out in albino rats. The Lawsonia alba leaf ethanolic extract and three different fractions obtained from it were screened for hepatoprotective activity using carbon tetrachloride-induced hepatic damage model in rats. Doses for the different fractions and ethanolic extract were selected based on the results of acute toxicity studies in mice. The effect was assessed by serum enzyme profile, viz., glutamic oxaloacetate transaminase (GOT) and glutamic pyruvate transaminase (GPT) levels, and histopathological changes in liver. Results: Lawsonia alba ethanolic extract significantly protected from biochemical and histological changes induced by carbontetrachloride in rats. Conclusion: Ethanolic extract of Lawsonia alba leaves exhibited a significant protection against carbon tetrachloride-induced hepatic damage in rats.Keywords

Objective: To screen the antidiabetic potential of the bark of Holarrhena antidysenterica Linn. Materials and methods: In the present study, bark of Holarrhena antidysenterica Linn was screened for antidiabetic activity. Bark powder of H.antidysenterica was subjected to hot continuous extraction (soxhlet) with various solvents like petroleum ether (40-60°C), chloroform, butanol, butanone and alcohol. Aqueous extract was prepared by cold maceration. After preliminary phytochemical investigation, all the extracts were evaluated for antidiabetic activity after single dose (acute study) and after prolonged treatment (chronic study) in alloxan induced diabetic albino rats. All the extracts were given orally at a dose of 250 mg/kg b.w., Glibenclamide was used as standard drug (10 mg/kg b.w. p.o.). Results and discussion: Alcohol, butanol, chloroform, aqueous and butanone showed significant antidiabetic activity in acute as well as prolonged treatment compared to control. Petroleum ether extract did not show significant antidiabetic activity on prolonged treatment. Among all the extracts, alcoholic extract had more significantly reduced the blood glucose level after single dose and nearly equal to standard Glibenclamide after prolonged treatment.Keywords

Antibiotic and antagonistic effects of primary and secondary forms of Photorhabdus luminescens, a symbiotic bacterium of an entomopathogenic nematode Heterorhabditis indica (RCR) were investigated in vitro against plant pathogens and beneficial microorganisms. An inhibition zone assay on potato dextrose agar (PDA) medium revealed that the primary form completely inhibited all plant pathogenic fungi, viz., Aspergillus flavus, Rhizoctonia solani and Fusarium solani and tested secondary form completely inhibited the growth of F. solani and partially inhibited A. flavus and failed to inhibit R. solani. However, dual culture assay on nutrient agar (NA) in both forms completely inhibited the growth of the bacterial pathogen, Xanthomonas punicae. The forms of P. luminescens did not inhibit the mycelial growth of entomopathogens viz., Metarhizium anisopliae, Verticillium lecanii and Nomuraea rileyi but inhibited the growth of bacterial bioagents Rhizobium sp. and Pseudomonas fluorescens. The present study indicates that P. luminescens can be effectively used in the management of these plant pathogens.Keywords

Geriatric population is increasing day by day due to many responsible factors. However, their change in nutritional and health status directly correlates with living status. Hence, the present investigation was taken into account to evaluate the socio-economic, health and psychological status of elderly from Western Maharashtra. A pilot study has been conducted to collect the data in Kolhapur, Sangli and Satara city. 60 elderly persons having the age above 60 years were interviewed using the self-structured questionnaire. The mean age of the study population was recorded as 66.5 years. Nearly 70 per cent elderly were found married and 90 per cent elderly noted literate. Most of the elderly have good familiar relationship and all of them received care, love, security in their family. Even if the elderly are depend upon the family members, they actively involved in decision making process of family. Major chronic health problem of elderly were reported as blood pressure (75 %), diabetes (30 %), heart disease (40 %). Elderly were found a positive attitude towards their elderly life and they didn't have feeling of loneliness. These indicators are quite satisfactory when compared with the elderly of other developed country.Keywords

The elderly in India are a heterogeneous population with variations in morbidity across several dimensions, gender, location and socio-economic status in particular, as well as great diversity in cultures, religions and languages. The size of India's older adult population is greater than the total population of many developed and developing countries. The aging population is a sign of successful development in medical sciences and technology, living standards and education, but the elderly also raise unique social, economic and clinical challenges including a growing demand for increasingly complex healthcare services. In view of the increasing need for intervention in area of old age welfare, Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment, Government of India adopted 'National Policy on Older Persons' in January, 1999. The policy provides broad guidelines to State Governments for taking action for welfare of older persons in a proactive manner by devising their own policies and plans of action. However, this study has been designed to investigate the elderly knowledge about the agewell programme and to know about their attitude and practices towards Agewell Programme. Elderly among study area had average information about agewell programme and there is an urgent need of effective training at grassischolar_main level.Keywords

In the present studies the antagonistic microorganisms and antibiotics were tested for their efficiency in inhibition of growth of Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. punicae, the incetant of bacterial blight of pomegranate. Among the different isolates of bioagents, Pseudomonas florescens (Pf4) was found significantly superior in inhibiting (15.73 mm) the growth of X. a. pv. punicae but remained on par with Bacillus subtilis isolates BS1 and BS2 with 12.1 and 13.66 mm, respectively. Whereas bioagents BS3 and Pf6 showed lower inhibitory zone of 0.76 and0.93 mm, respectively. The isolates of bioagents BS 4, Tv-16, Tv-R, Th-10 and Th-R recorded zero inhibition zone. Differences among the treatments and concentrations were found to be statistically significant except between streptocycline and streptocycline + CuSO4. Among them, streptocycline was found to be the best and was significantly superior from the rest of the chemicals with mean inhibition zone of 25.75 mm in all the tested concentrations, followed by streptocycline + CuSO4 (20.24) and bactinash-200 (11.74). Among different concentrations, 1000 ppm recorded the mean maximum inhibition zone (11.33 mm) followed by 750 and 500 ppm. Whereas the least inhibition was observed at 250 ppm (8.33 mm).Keywords

Objective: To investigate and rationalize the effects of Ocimum kilimandscharicumleaves(Lamiaceae) for their wound healing activity and probable mechanism underlying its protective effects in albino wistar rats.
Methods: The wound healing activity was evaluated using three different types of wound models viz; the excision, incision and dead space wound model. A supportive study was also made on granuloma tissue to estimate the level of hydroxy proline. The healing tissues obtained on the 11th post wounding day of the incision wound model were processed for histological study.
Results: The animals receiving the alcoholic extract of Ocimum kilimandscharicumleaves has shown to possess significant increase in wound closure rate, skin breaking strength, granuloma breaking strength, hydroxy proline content, granuloma dry weight and decrease in mean scar area.
Conclusion: The prohealing potential of the Ocimum kilimandscharicum leaves extract may probably be as a result of the presence of a mixture of phytoconstituents including flavonoids, steroids, etc. and increased collagen deposition as well as better alignment and maturation.

The present study deals with the formulation and characterization of cross linked chitosan/ albumin microspheres containing an NSAID drug Aceclofenac. The microspheres were prepared by suspension cross linking method using gluteraldehyde as a cross linking agent of the polymer matrix. Total eight formulation batches (F1 to F8) were formulated using chitosan/albumin alone and in combinations. The formulations were subjected to various evaluation parameters like % practical yield, entrapment efficiency, particle size distribution, swelling ratio, In vitro release and stability studies. Perfectly spherical cross linked microspheres loaded with aceclofenac were obtained in the size range of 50 - 500 μm. The % practical yield, entrapment efficiency, particle size, swelling ratio were increased with increased concentration of polymer used. The release of aceclofenac was influenced by polymer concentration and size of microspheres. The stability studies of formulation showed 4°C is suitable temperature for storage.Keywords

Fast dissolving tablets of Captopril were prepared by Wow tab and Effervescent technologies. In this study our aim was to provide the tablet that quickly disintegrates or dissolves upon contact with saliva and also to provide a good mouth feel. The excipients used in both the technologies not only aid fast disintegration of tablets, but also mask the slight bitter taste of drug. All the prepared formulations were evaluated for thickness, hardness, friability, weight variation, drug content, and disintegration time and drug dissolution. Tablets from Wow tab and Effervescent technologies have shown 94 and 96% of the drug release at the end of 10 min respectively. Study has shown that 8:6 ratio of sodium bicarbonate and citric acid in the Captopril fast dissolving tablets gave good soothing and excellent mouth feel. Tablet prepared by Wow tab technology, formulation W5 and W6 using low moldability saccharide (lactose and mannitol) showed rapid disintegration and released about 92 and 96% drug respectively. Study concluded that fast dissolving tablets of Captopril could be prepared successfully by above mentioned methods. Tablets imparted patient benefits and increased consumer satisfaction, despite the different mechanisms involved in these techniques.Keywords

The present investigation was conducted during Ambia bahar season in the year 2011-12. The experiment was laid out in randomized block design with three treatments and seven replications. The variety 'Nucellar' recorded maximum average height of plant, spread of tree, stem girth, number of branches per tree, was early to mature, had highest yield, fruit size, number of segments per fruit, weight of fruit, peel weight, peel thickness of fruit, TSS, and pH, while, the variety 'Sathgudi' recorded maximum juice weight, with low peel-to-juice ratio. The taste of fruits of Local mosambi was sweeter, with less acidity than the other two varieties. Maximum number of seeds per fruit was recorded in Local mosambi. Highest average pH and ascorbic acid content in fruit juice was recorded in cv. Nucellar. Therefore, on the basis of results obtained in the present investigation, it is suggested that of the three varieties studied, 'Nucellar' is the best in yield and other parameters, with 'Sathgudi' being the second best.Keywords

An experiment was carried out to study the response of organic and inorganic fertilizers on growth, yield and quality of garlic (Allium sativum L.) cv. Yamuna Safed-3. The results revealed that the combined application of 25% RDF with 75% N through FYM @ 20 t/ha gave higher marketable bulb yield of 19.34t/ha as compared to other treatments which were statistically on par with 100% RDF (18.53 t/ha ) and 50% RDF + 50% N supplied as FYM (18.94 t/ha). It is suggested that for better biometric observations, bulb characters and marketable bulb yield in garlic, combined use of inorganic and organic source of nutrient supply is preferable.Keywords

Plant products serve as an alternative to synthetic products because of local accessibility, eco-friendly nature and lower prices compared to imported synthetic products. Natural gums and mucilage have been widely explored as pharmaceutical excipients. Mucilage extracted from Anacardium occidentale (Ao) were subjected to toxicity studies for its safety and preformulation studies for its suitability as a binding agent. The present study was undertaken with an objective to find out the binding potentials of a natural gum obtained from plant Anacardium occidentale. Physicochemical characteristics of mucilage, such as solubility, swelling index, loss on drying, and pH were studied and also microbial load was determined. The mucilage was evaluated for its granulating and binding properties in tablets, using Diclofenac as a model drug. Properties of the granules prepared with diclofenac using five different concentrations (2, 4, 6, 8 and 10% w/v) of Ao mucilage and compared with starch (10%, w/v), as standard binder. The prepared granules were evaluated for percentage of fines, average particle size, total porosity, compressibility index and flow properties. The tablets were prepared and evaluated for content uniformity, hardness, friability, disintegration time and in vitro dissolution profiles. The tablets had good physicochemical properties, and the drug release was more than 90% within 90 min. The tablets prepared by using 10% mucilage as binder exhibited more hardness than by using 2, 4 and 8% concentration. At 6% concentration it has given similar disintegration time and dissolution profile in comparison to starch at 10 % w/v. Hence, Ao mucilage at 6% w/v concentrations can be considered as ideal concentrations for preparation of tablets.Keywords

Natural remedies from medicinal plants are considered to be effective and safe alternative treatment for wounds. In traditional literature, it is found that Annona squamosa leaves were used as folk medicine for the treatment of wound in different parts of the world. The leaves of Annona squamosa (Linn.) were exhaustively extracted by soxhlet apparatus with different solvents like petroleum ether, solvent ether, chloroform, alcohol and chloroform water in ascending order of the polarity. All the five extracts were subjected to antibacterial screening by using the cup plate method. The petroleum ether, alcoholic and chloroform water extract showed maximum zone of inhibition. So these extracts were taken for wound healing activity. The petroleum ether extracts of Annona squamosa at a dose of 300 mg/kg b.w. (orally) in all models showed significant results. The percentage contraction of wound are at 18th day, was found to be (91.12±0.62, P < 0.05) in excision wound model, wound breaking strength (299.83 ± 5.446 grams, P < 0.05) in incision wound model, granuloma breaking strength (378.56 ± 5.520, P < 0.05) in granuloma studies. All the results were significant for different parameters in wound healing activity when compared with control group. Presence of sterols, flavonoids, tannins in various extracts was also confirmed by preliminary phytochemical investigation, TLC and HPTLC methods.Keywords

Objective: The present study is designed to investigate anti-inflammatory activities of ethanolic extract of male flowers (inflorescences) of Borassus flabellifer L. (Arecaceae).
Methods: Acute inflammation models like histamine-induced and eggalbumin- induced rat paw edema model and xylene induced ear oedema in mice were employed to investigate the anti-inflammatory activity. The biochemical parameters like serum glutamate pyruvate transaminase (SGPT), serum glutamate oxaloacetate transaminase (SGOT), lipid per oxidation and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) were also estimated as supportive study.
Results: The extract at doses 150mg/kg b.w. and 300mg/kg b.w. and diclofenac sodium (standard) showed significant anti-inflammatory in all the models, as compared to control (p< 0.0001). The extract and standard drug also showed significant (p<0.0001) results for biochemical parameters.
Conclusion: The results of the present further confirm the use of Borassus flabellifer L. traditionally for the treatment of painful inflammatory conditions.
