Background: The life of professional students is stressful throughout the whole course of trainings. Types of food intake, lack of exercise, psychological depression due to study burden, pressure of examination, discrepancies between expectation and reality all can be anticipated in bring psychological stress.
Research Question: To find out the Association of health status with dietary habits and lifestyle of students?
Objective: The purpose of this study was to clarify the association between dietary habits and life style and perceived health status among students.
Study design: Cross sectional study
Participants: 255 students of medical dental and nursing courses of SVSU, Meerut UP
Sample Size: 255 university students Study Period: July 2011 to Dec 2011
Study variables: A Pre-designed, Pre-tested, self administered questionnaire related to life style and perceived health was used.
Statistical Analysis: Microsoft Excel
Results: In this study, consumption of non-vegetarian diet and fast food was found among students. Smoking&tobacco chewing and consumption of alcohol were seen in students. Sedentary life, over weight and high blood pressure was found in students.
Conclusion: Medical students were not much conscious to make extra effort to choose a healthier lifestyle. Healthy lifestyle among medical students are even more important as they are future doctors and the students who personally ignore healthy lifestyle are more likely to fail to establish health promotion opportunities for their patients.

Salvia bucharica belonging to the family Lamiaceae (Labiatae), afforded a new aromatic ester named buchariate [1- (/>-hydroxybenzoyloxy )-3-oxo-octane (1)] along with twelve known constituents for the first time from our investigated source. The structures of all the isolated constituents were determined through spectroscopic techniques and comparison with literature values. The structure of new constituent (1) was elucidated through extensive 2-D NMR experiments.Keywords

Economic mineralization relatable to the early-Proterozoic Dongargarh granite that forms part of a large volcano-plutonic complex of Central India includes the Chandidongri fluorite deposit located on the granite, a few small deposits of uranium in sheared rhyolites and basic rocks in close proximity to the granite, and minor Cu±Pb mineralisation within sheared rhyolites. In the fault-controlled fluorite deposit at Chandidongri, the δ18O values of fluorite-bearing quartz range from 11 4 to 13 8 per mil, whereas δ18O values of quartz from intensely altered granites range from 13 0 to 14 4 per mil. The δD values of fluid inclusion waters extracted from vein-quartz, fluorite and quartz from altered granites range from -32 to -52, -38 to -40 and -48 to -60 per mil respectively. The δ18O values and measured δD values indicate a dominantly meteoric source for the fluorite and alteration fluids that may have undergone slight mixing with magmatic water.Keywords

Food additives are substances added to food to preserve, flavor or enhance its taste and appearance. However, the use of monosodium glutamate (MSG) has raised a lot of controversies regarding health concerns of its usage especially in relation to dyslipidaemia. Aim: This study aims to determine the effect of MSG on weight and lipid profile of experimental animals, and its possible atherosclerotic potential Methods: Four groups of male Wister rats (n=5, mean weight 126g) were administered MSG at dose levels of 0, 4 mg/kg body weight, 8 mg/kg body weight and 16mg/kg body weight for a period of 14 days. Changes in weight and lipid profile of all groups were evaluated after the last day of treatment. Results: Results showed that oral administration of the stated dosages of MSG significantly (p>0.05%) decreased serum levels of Total Cholesterol (TC) and Low Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (LDL-C) with a simultaneous significant (p>0.05%) increase in the level of serum Triacylglycerol (TAG) and Very low Density Lipoprotein cholesterol (VLDL-C). However, oral MSG at the applied doses has shown no effect on the level of serum High Density Lipoprotein (HDLC). Conclusion: We therefore concluded that with the increase in serum TAG level, and non-responsive serum HDL level, MSG stands to be one of the agents capable of increasing the risk of atheroma development and subsequent atherosclerosis.Keywords

This study measures in situ microbial glucose uptake rate in two different hot springs in Ladakh, J&K, India with distinct temperatures >74°C and pH > 7.4. For this purpose, the slurry samples from each hot spring were incubated up to 4 h with 13C-labelled glucose in gas-tight incubation bottles at the respective hot-spring sites. The natural δ13C particulate varies from –9.1‰ in Panamik hot spring to –11.7‰ in Puga hot spring. After incubation with 13C-labelled glucose, the δ13C particulate reached a maximum 2472‰ in Panamik and 4365‰ in Puga hot-spring samples. The glucose uptake rate calculated from the final δ13C particulate in the incubation bottles varied from 28 to 147 ng C g–1 h–1 in the Panamik and from 168 to 1196 ng C g–1 h–1 in the Puga samples. This reveals that even at >74°C temperature, thermophiles are capable of running their metabolic machinery, perhaps faster than the heterotrophic microbes/cells under normal temperature condition.Keywords
