Jatropha curcas can help to increase rural incomes, from plantations and agro-industries. Jatropha curcas is a valuable multi-purpose crop to alleviate soil degradation and aforestation, which can be used for bio-energy to replace petro-diesel, for soap production and climatic protection, and hence, deserves specific attention. In the present study physical characteristics of Jatropha curcas seeds were studied. The average of whole seed mass, kernel weight, shell weight, percentage kernel mass of whole seeds and percentage shell mass of whole seeds were 0.74, 0.51, 0.23, 70.88 gram and 29.12 per cent, respectively. Chemical composition proved that Jatropha curcas seeds are a good source of protein (32.91 %), oil (26.92 %) and carbohydrates (30.01 %). The seeds are rich in various micro-elements, that is manganese (Mn), iron (Fe) and zinc (Zn) which recorded 27.99, 0.41 and 45.90 mg/kg, respectively as well as macro-elements, that is potassium (K), calcium (Ca), sodium (Na), magnesium (Mg) and phosphorus (P), which recorded 102.79, 34.13, 8.46, 111.0 and 183.70 mg/kg, respectively.Keywords

Objective: Clinical study of the patients suffering from Chronic Suppurative Otitis Media. Material and Methods: Patients attending O. P. D. of a Medical College Hospital, were taken in to consideration. Detail history of all sampled patients and clinical examination were carried out. Thus 128 ears of one hundred cases included in the study. Statistical analysis: were expressed in terms of simple proportion. Results: Ottorhhoea was present in all sampled patients followed by deafness, tinnitus, headache, earache and vertigo. Recurrent nasal and throat infection was the most common associated factors responsible for chronic suppurative otitis media. Conclusion: There is an urgent need to bring awareness among the masses about various aspects of the disease; similarly consulting doctors must be motivated for rational use of drugs, by keeping in mind the development of resistance against antibiotics.Keywords

Background: Recent years have witnessed a change from acute intervention (cure) typical of clinical ophthalmology to the concept of primary eye health care, i.e. the inclusion of an eye care component in primary health care system. Objective: To assesses the people perception about eye health problems. Material and Methods: 620 (204 Tribal and 416 Non tribal) people residing in a slum area of Jagdalpur were interviewed and data thus collected were tabulated and analyzed. Statistical analysis: Expressed in simple: proportion s. Findings: 39.83 % male tribal knew in comparison to their female 32.55 % counterparts about scientific cause of eye problems while among non tribals less proportion of males in comparison to their female counter parts scientific cause. Regarding treatment higher proportion of non tribal in comparison to their counter parts tribal took treatment. Television was the most common source of information in both the community. Interpretation: The findings of the present study were more or less similar to the findings of the other studies conducted across the globe by different authors. Conclusion: The eye health care programme is still a far cry even after a lapse of so many years. If such is the crux of situation in an urban dwelling where the medical and health care services are easily available than what will be the fate of tribal and rural area.Keywords

A simple and relatively less expensive UV spectrophotometric method was developed for simultaneous determination of saccharin and aspartame in soft drinks by multicomponent analysis method. Wavelengths of 235 nm and 257 nm were selected for determination of saccharin and aspartame respectively. The limit of detection for saccharin and aspartame was found to be 0.0015 g L-1 and 0.04 g L-1 respectively. The method obeys beers law within the concentration range of 0.002 g L-1 to 0.04 g L-1 and 0.06 g L-1 to 0.28 g L-1 for saccharin and aspartame respectively. This method was found to have the coefficient correlation (r2) value of 0.9997 and 0.999 for saccharin and aspartame respectively. The method was validated for accuracy, precision and repeatability. The proposed method was found to be simple, accurate, reproducible, sensitive, free form interferences, inexpensive and having good applicability to the routine analysis of samples of foods and beverages.Keywords

Clonazepam, a nitrobenzodiazepine and a scheduled drug is one of the highly abused drugs in recent times. An analytical methodology was developed for the detection and quantitation of clonazepam in chocolate sample. The method involves the extraction of the chocolate sample by solvent extraction with chloroform under basic conditions (pH: 8-9). The extract was used for the GC-MS analysis in SIM and full scan modes for the detection of the analyte present. For quantification, the extract was re-dissolved in the mobile phase, Acetonitrile: 40mM potassium di hydrogen-phosphate (6:4,v/v), pH adjusted to 3.9. The separation was achieved on a Phenomenex Gemini C18 HPLC reversed-phase column (150mmx4.6mmx5μ) with the mobile phase and diode array detection with UV range 200-370 nm. The calibration plot for the determination of clonazepam is based on linear regression analysis (y=51.405x + 84.924; r2=0.9989). The limit of detection of clonazepam was estimated as 0.1μg/ml with a signal-to-noise ratio of 3:1 and limit of quantitation of clonazepam was estimated as 0.35μg/ml with a signal-to-noise ratio of 10:1. The clonazepam detected in the chocolate was found to be 0.0763μg/mg of the chocolate. The precision studies given a % RSD range of 0.28-3.9 % with respect to peak area and 0.51-1.03 % with respect to retention time. The method is robust, specific and reliable for the qualitative and quantitative analysis of clonazepam in chocolate and the law enforcement laboratories can utilise the method for routine analysis.Keywords

A study was carried out to assess the possible interference of artificial sweeteners (Saccharin, sucralose, aspartame and cyclamate) while screening for drugs and pesticides in stomach content, urine and tissues by TLC for forensic toxicological purposes. Even though these sweeteners were extractable in acidic drugs extract and pesticide extract but they did not interfere in the analysis of drugs and pesticides. Therefore the screening methods usually used in forensic toxicological analysis for drugs and pesticides can be applied as such without any modification as the artificial sweeteners were not found to interfere.

Currently, the stalks generated after cotton harvest is burnt in the field itself which results in soil fertility deterioration and environmental pollution. ICAR-CIRCOT, Mumbai has developed technologies for on-farm utilization of cotton stalks to restore soil fertility and bring additional remuneration to farmers by preparation of bio-enriched compost and cultivation of oyster mushroom using cotton stalks. The chipped cotton stalks of 3-4 cm in length were used for compost preparation. The bio-enriched compost was prepared from cotton stalks using microbial consortium within two months. The NPK level of cotton stalks compost was three times higher than farm yard manure. The application of 2 tonnes of cotton stalks compost per acre could sufficiently replace the requirement of 5 tonnes of farm yard manure in integrated nutrient management practice. The cost of production of one tonne of cotton stalks compost was Rs. 3000/- while market cost of farm yard manure ranges from Rs. 3000 to 3500/-. Thus, on an average, a farmer can save Rs. 9000/- per acre by replacing farm yard manure with cotton stalks compost. The hot water treated chipped cotton stalks of 3-4 cm length were used for oyster mushroom (Pleurotus florida) cultivation. The mushroom was cultivated by hanging bag technique during July to September, 2016. The average cropping period of mushroom was 27 days. About 130 g of mushroom was harvested from one kg of cotton stalks. The cost of production of one kg of oyster mushroom is Rs. 50 including spawn cost. The market value of oyster mushroom is Rs. 150/-. As an entrepreneurial activity, a cotton farmer can earn minimum of Rs. 1000/- for compost preparation while, Rs. 10,000/- for oyster mushroom cultivation from one acre of land, besides utilizing stalks generated in the field.Keywords
