Modulation of Proinflammatory Cytokines by Parmotrema reticulatum Derived Dioxepine Derivative and Benzoic Methyl Ester in Adjuvant-Induced Arthritis.

The present investigation aims to study the therapeutic effect and to identify the lead molecules from lichen Parmotrema reticulatum (Pr) that can solve the complications associated with arthritis. Purification of Pr extract led to isolation of two lead molecules i.e.

Effect of Herbal Water, Ozonated Water, Water, and Chlorhexidine Mouthrinses on Oral Health Status of Children: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

Aim: To evaluate the antibacterial effect of herbal water, ozonated water, and chlorhexidine mouthrinses on salivary level and to assess their effectiveness of these mouthrinses on the oral health status of children.

Materials And Methods: A parallel multiarm randomized controlled trial was conducted in 100 children aged 10-12 years. Debris index-simplified (DI-S), calculus index-simplified (CI-S), oral hygiene index-simplified (OHI-S) scores, and counts were recorded at baseline ( ).

Report: Antioxidant and hypoglycemic activity of strawberry fruit extracts against alloxan induced diabetes in rats.

The strawberries (Fragaria x ananassa) of Rosaceae family are an accomplished source of bioactive compounds such as ascorbic acid and diverse range of polyphenols including anthocyanins, phenolic acids, flavonols, ellagitannins etc. These phenolic compounds classify strawberry as an important health promoting food. Strawberries are proved to have potent antioxidant capacity in various in vitro assay systems.

Production and antioxidant properties of protein hydrolysate from Rastrelliger kanagurta (Indian mackerel).

Fishery waste and by-products are valuable sources of raw material for recovery of antioxidant and bioactive peptides. Due to the increased demand for protein hydrolysates with antioxidative properties by various sectors of consumable food, health care and pharmaceutical industries, the present study focused in the production of fish protein hydrolysate (FPH) by enzymatic digestion from the backbone of Rastrelliger kanagurta (Indian mackerel) and evaluated its antioxidant potential. The observed results of the degree of hydrolysis suggest that the rapid phase of proteolytic cleavage was occurred in the first 60 minutes of incubation and during this period, the rate of hydrolysis was found to be increased with increasing ratio of enzyme to substrate concentration.

Neural network based classifier for cardio vascular diseases based on vascular aging.

Vascular Aging is a cardio vascular risk factor. Vascular aging and vascular disease go together. Cardio vascular diseases (CVDs) remain and will continue to be the leading cause of death in all countries.

Somatic embryogenesis and plant regeneration from leaf callus of Ocimum basilicum L.

A effective protocol for complete plant regeneration via somatic embryogenesis has been developed for Ocimum basilicum L. Callus was initiated from leaf explant of young plant on supplemented with 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) 1.0 mg l(-1), 3% sucrose and 0.
