Abstract: Poly herbal hair oil formulations was prepared using Ricinus communis L., Phyla nodiflora Mich., Cyamopsis tetragonoloba L., Wrightia tinctoria R.Br., Vernonia cinerea Less. leaf crude extracts and Magnolia champaca (L.) Baill. ex Pierre flower oil. Totally five formulations were prepared using definite ratios of extracts. The antidandruff activity of formulated poly herbal hair oil was evaluated by agar well diffusion and broth dilution assay against dandruff causal agent Malassezia furfur. Among the five different combinations the F3 formulation showed better activity against M. furfur..
Keywords: Poly herbal hair oil, antidandruff activity, Malassezia furfur and dandruff

Abstract: Asthma is a clinical condition characterized by inflammation of the airways and C-reactive protein is a marker for inflammation, infection, tissue damage and host defence mechanism by complement pathway. Impaired respiratory functions are associated with disturbance in immune response in the lung. This immune response is characterized by the secretion of some inflammatory cytokines such as C-reactive protein and IL-6. The case-control study was conducted in the department of Biochemistry, People's College of Medical Science & Research Centre Bhopal (M.P.). Total 200 subjects were selected for the study. The level of hs-CRP was measured using the nephelometric...........
Key Words: Asthma, Inflammation, hs-CRP, Immunity.

Abstract: Neonatal jaundice is an alarming situation manifested by hyperbilirubinemia in early infancy. In the present study we analysed the proteins using electrophoretogram in erythrocyte lysate of neonatal jaundice in comparison with normal control. From the elctrophoretogram we observed there was a decrease in band intensity corresponding to catalase and pyruvate kinase monomers. Besides, there were other proteins such as peroxiredoxin and haemoglobin showed marginal decrease at their respective bands in neonatal jaundice hemolysates in comparison to control and the band in the region 260 KDa showed higher band intensity in neonatal jaundice sample compared to control in the electrophoretogram which could be spectrin. The catalase activity by spectrophotometry also observed there was lowered catalase activity in both hemolysate and plasma of neonatal jaundice compared to control...
