| Country | : | India |
| Authors | : | BN Malawadi || Usha Adiga |
Abstract: Introduction: Insulin resistance in type 2 diabetes mellitus is known to alter fractional synthetic rates of different plasma proteins. Objective of our study was to compare plasma total proteins and albumin in type 2 diabetics with that of non-diabetic controls. Methodology: This retrospective study was conducted in a medical college hospital in coastal Karnataka. Data of plasma proteins and demographic profiles of 81 type 2 diabetes mellitus patients was compared with that of 72 healthy non-diabetics. Student' s independent t test was used to compare the data.............
Key words: total protein, albumin, globulin, type 2 DM

| Title | : | Mir-221 in the Detection of Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma |
| Country | : | Pakistan |
| Authors | : | Obaid Hayat || Abdul Rauf Leghari || Muhammad Imran Sarwar || M.H Qazi || Bushra Nisar |
Abstract: Head and Neck Squamous cell carcinoma is the sixth most common cancer worldwide with increasing incidence in developing countries. Due to its late diagnosis and lack of availability of reliable biomarker for this disease, its incidence is still on rise. Aims & Objectives: The aim of this study was to characterize the role of miR-221 in the tumor genesis of Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). The objective of the study was to analyze the expression profile of miR-221 in HNSCC..............
Key words: Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, miR-221, Taqman assay, intra oral, extra-oral.

| Title | : | Development of a suitable plant regeneration protocol of cotton cultivar variety in comparison to non cultivar Coker |
| Country | : | India |
| Authors | : | Nandini Bandyopadhyay || Soumitra Kr. Sen |
Abstract: We initiated our attempts with Coker-312(non cultivar) and other two cultivar varieties, Ankur-3 and JK-1. It was observed that genotype played an important role in callus induction and plant regeneration. Further, trials showed that kinetin played a major role in callus induction frequency. In case of JK-1, the MST2 calli became dull and unable to produce embryogenic calli leading to elimination of these genotypes from further consideration. The other two genotypes, responded favorably in callus proliferation and emergence of embryogenic calli. We had used charcoal in MSG media which helped in production of root system in normal looking plantlets. Hypocotyl, cotyledon and roots have been used in the past as explants, where hypocotyls produce more friable callus than other explants..............
