Abstract: Background: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is growing in prevalence globally, according to the international diabetic federation more than 70.3 million people in Southeast Asian region have diabetes and by 2030 this will rise to 120.9 million. In India alone total of 63.0 million cases of diagnosed diabetes. Fifty percent or more of those with the disease are unaware of their condition. Early detection and treatment reduce the complications of DM. The objective of the study is to assess the risk of development of type 2 DM in rural Vikarabad population attending a tertiary health care hospital by simple scoring system. (Finnish Diabetes Risk Score (FINDRISC) questionnaire) Methods: Community based cross sectional...........

Abstract: Several industrial processes exist that convert raw agricultural products in goods through mechanical and chemical treatments. In some of these processes the adoption of biotechnology-based production steps can be considered for optimization of performances and reduction of the environmental impact. One example of biotechnological approach developed and adopted in the pulp and paper industry is bioleaching, the removal of hemicelluloses from cellulose by means of enzymatic treatment. This treatment has the advantage of reducing the use of chlorine and the related environmental impact..........

Abstract:Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a disorder characterized by elevated blood glucose level. Prolonged duration of the disease may lead various complications including cardiovascular diseases and diabetic nephropathy. Poor glycemic control causes microalbuminuria which in is a risk factor for end stage renal disease. On the other hand, elevated uric acid is identified as an independent cardiovascular risk factor. Aim: The present study was planned to assess the correlation of hyperuricemia with microalbuminuria in relation to glycemic control in type 2 diabetes mellitus..........

Abstract: Experiments were conducted for the standardization of in vitro culture technique for the mass propagation of Woodfordia fruticosa, a medicinally important, pungent, acrid, cooling, toxic, alexteric, uterine, sedative, anthelmintic plant. MS media was used in the present studies. While such media have been moderately to highly successful in terms of multiplication yields, it has become increasingly important to improve productivity and reduce the time taken to multiply commercially important plant material. In the present study, nodal segment was used as explants and cultured on MS..............

Abstract: Bacterial pigments are the secondary metabolites produced by many bacterial strains. Bacterial pigments have grabbed attention since the demand for alternative of standard antibiotics has risen due to the resistance adapted by pathogens. The aim of the present study was to isolate pigment producing bacteria from soil, extraction and identification of the isolate and further to test antibacterial potential of the pigment. Pigment producing bacteria was isolated from soil and the isolate was characterized and identified based on morphology and biochemical analysis as Serratia sp...........

Abstract: Generally climatic variability considered relatively as climatic factors which are directly or indirectly affect the human life. The simplest explanation for this is that global warming increases the mean of temperature but the overall shape of the climate distribution remain the same. Hence, the maximum of the distribution shift towards the warm region. On the other hand a change in the mean without a shift in the location of the maximum. If distribution condition would change in such a way that like hood of cold days is reduced as compared to the warm days. These changes in live distribution due to the climatic changes, the different physiological activities as well as metabolical reactions...........

Abstract: This study emphasized on ensuring quality of drinking water in Jessore district. Drinking Water quality was evaluated by measuring 12 parameters. These parameters were Arsenic (As), Cadmium (Cd), Iron (Fe), lead (Pb), Dissolved oxygen (DO), Chemical oxygen demand (COD), Biological oxygen demand (BOD) Chloride, Calcium (Ca), pH, Salinity andHardness CaCO3. All measured parameters were compared with water quality parameters Bangladesh standards & WHO guide lines. From the experimental results it can be conclude that all of the parameters were in standard ranges except Salinity, Arsenic, Iron, COD and BOD. The average value of Arsenic within permissible limits but other four parameters Salinity, Iron, COD and BOD average value were above the standard permissible limit.

Abstract: Concanavalin A (con A) was immobilized on agarose beads and used as a ligand for affinity chromatography. The purification procedure was conduced by precipitation of the crude extract with 80% saturation ammonium sulfate followed by affinity chromatography. The purified daikon peroxidase contains carbohydrate moiety as revealed by staining the gels with Periodic Acid Schiff reagent (PAS staining). Sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) yields one protein band. The molecular weight of purified protein is calculated by standard curve of reference...........
