AI Article Synopsis
- - The research focused on analyzing the phenolic and flavonoids content of the medicinal plant Tinospora cordifolia, finding that the methanol extract has higher levels than the hexane extract.
- - Tinospora cordifolia demonstrated pharmacological activity through a brine shrimp bioassay and its nutritive values were determined, with fresh and dried stem samples containing 156.44 Kcal/100g and 232.61 Kcal/100g, respectively.
- - The study identified key compounds like inositol and n-hexadecanoic acid in the methanol extract, emphasizing that Tinospora cordifolia is rich in antioxidant compounds and essential nutrients, enhancing its medicinal value.
Article Abstract
The present research work has been performed to evaluate the phenolic content, flavonoids content, and cytotoxicity of a multidimensional medicinal plant; Tinospora cordifolia and as well as to determine nutritive value by proximate analysis. The total phenolic and flavonoids contents of Tinospora cordifolia were found to be significantly greater in methanol extract as compared to corresponding hexane extract. Brine shrimp bioassay indicated Tinospora cordifolia is pharmacologically active. The percentage composition of different nutrition parameters namely moisture, total ash, crude fat, protein, fibre, carbohydrate, and vitamin C were assessed. The nutritive values of fresh and dried stem samples were evaluated as 156.44 Kcal/100g and 232.61 Kcal/100g respectively. From Gas column mass spectrometry analysis, it can be reported that inositol, 1-deoxy-, trans-sinapyl alcohol, n-hexadecanoic acid were present in the major amount in methanol stem extract. The findings from this study reveal Tinospora cordifolia contains an adequate amount of phenolic and flavonoids content, vital bioactive antioxidant compounds, and a good source of carbohydrates and fibers which potentially adds to the overall value of the plant.

Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) is a hematological malignancy marked by the clonal proliferation of the mature, yet dysfunctional B lymphocytes in blood and its subsequent infiltration of the marrow, lymphoid tissues and spleen. The resultant immune dysfunction exposes the body to multiple infections and is a cause of major mortality. Here, we discuss the case of a 46-year-old male suffering from CLL who presented with long-standing episodes of low-grade fever, productive cough and throat irritation, lethargy and pedal edema.

Article Synopsis
- This study explores a new method for creating antiseptic wipes by using microencapsulation to combine antimicrobial properties of A.I. oil and T.C. extracts.
- Microcapsules were made with a 1:1 ratio of A.I. and T.C., using sodium alginate, and were evenly distributed in non-woven cotton fabric.
- The treated fabric significantly reduced bacteria, showing effectiveness against both Gram-positive (up to 99%) and Gram-negative (up to 99%) strains, while only slightly decreasing in whiteness, indicating potential for infection control applications.
