Abstract: Agarolytic bacteria use agarase to utilize agar as sole source of carbon. It is usually observed in life sciences labs that lot of agar medium needs to be thrown after its usage. The media gets solidified and clogs the drainage systems. Hence there is a need to isolate agarolytic bacteria and use them to solve this pertinent problem for efficient and eco-friendly disposal of agar in labs. Further the enzyme that these organisms produce would also help to harness its several applications in food, cosmetic and medical industries as agarase produces oligosaccharides with remarkable activities after breaking down agar. In this study agarolytic bacteria were isolated from marine water source...............

Abstract: Many number of the plant species including Cocculus hirsutus L. is being used as the sources of herbal medicine. Present work was mainly focused with the identification of the therapeutic properties of Cocculus hirsutus L. leaf extracts. The leaf extracts of methanol, aqueous, chloroform and benzene showed solvent dependent phytochemical present and anti-microbial activity. Whereas the leaf extracts of methanol and chloroform showed significant antimicrobial activity than water and benzene extracts. These extracts were further studied and analyzed for different phytochemical compounds. Leaf extracts possesses more flavonoids, steroids, alkaloids, tannins, glycosides and lignins in methanol, chloroform, benzene extracts than water extracts. The antimicrobial activity of different extracts of Cocculus hirsutus were analyzed and discussed...

Abstract: A simple, sensitive, and precise high performance liquid chromatographic method for the analysis of Flunitrazepamhas been developed and validated for the determination of compound in commercial pharmaceutical products. The compounds were well separated on BDS Hypersil C18 reverse phase column by the use of a mobile phase of mixed phosphate buffer and acetonitrile in a ratio of 40:60 v/v, at a flow rate of 1.0 ml/min with detection wavelength at 248nm. The method was validated in terms of linearity, precision, accuracy, and specificity, robustness and solution stability. The method does require only 10 minutes as runtime for analysis which prove the adoptability of the method for the routine quality control analysis of the drug.
Key words:Flunitrazepam, RP-HPLC.

Abstract: Any disorder in implementation of second order of universe carried by drug by alteration in behavior of target B.B.Bs ( mutations ) , drug resistance develop . Drugs or antibiotics are set of information's (Code PCPs bactericidal / bacteriostatic activity ) that trigger ( second order carried by photons ) bactericidal / bacteriostatic effects by giving specific order to bacterial cell . If this order ( Code PcPs bactericidal / bacteriostatic activity ) is failed to deliver ( drug half life or dose related ) to bacterial cell or failed to implement due to changed behavior by target B.B.Bs ( due to mutation ) , drug resistance would be there . This disorder could be reset by certain drugs when added with antibiotics . Resistance-modifying agents are capable of partly or completely suppressing bacterial resistance...............

Abstract: AIM: To determine the effect of chromatographic fractions of Abrus precatorius extract on female reproductive Hormones in Wistar Rats. STUDY DESIGN: Female wistar rats were treated with chromatographic fractions of A. precatorius, F1, F2,F3 and F4 (30mg/kg, 60mg/kg,90mg/kg, 120mg/kg and 150mg/kg) for 4 estrus cycles. The hormones studied are Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH), Luteinizing Hormone (LH), Progesterone (P4), Estrogen (E2) and Prolactin (PRL). On the day 16 (4 estrous cycle) the animals were sacrificed, dissected and the uterus and ovaries obtained for histology. Some Liver enzymes such as Alanine Transferase (ALT) , Alanine Phosphate (ALP) and Aspartame Transferase (AST) were also studied to evaluate the effect of Abrus precatorius fractions on liver functions.

Abstract: Colonic delivery has gained increasing importance for the delivery of drugs for the treatment of local diseases. To achieve a successful colonic delivery a drug needs to be protected from absorption in the GI tract and abruptly release in to the proximal colon which is considered the optimum site for colon-targeted delivery of drugs. The purpose of this study is to explore the possibility of core in cup tablet as a novel carrier for colonic delivery of a sparingly soluble drug, Azathioprine.The study involves designing a tablet for colon-target which consists of a central blended form of drug and polymer core and were further coated with different concentrations of Eudragit FS30D to thin film and fine thickness and finally the core-in-cup is over coated with pH-sensitive polymer, by spray coat........

Abstract: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the interactions of dietary supplementation ofdefatted Moringaoleiferaseed (lam) with cations transport adenosine triphosphatases in skeletal muscle of muscle degenerated rats induced by Protein Energy Malnutrition (PEM). PEM has been associated with skeletal muscle degeneration and calcium homeostasis dysfunction. In the course of the experiment, twenty four (24) weanling female albino rats (Rattusnorvegicus) of the Wistar strain (average weight of 49.39±1.73) were used for this investigation. (PEM) was induced in eighteen (18) rats by feeding them with low protein diet and water for twenty eight days while the remaining six rats served as Positive control groupand received commercial feed containing 21% crude protein. These PEM........

Abstract: Microarray technology observing thousands of gene expressions at once, has been the most popular research topics in recent decades. The new data promise to improve fundamental understanding of life on a molecular level and may prove very helpful in medical diagnosis, treatment and drug design. Identification of differentially expressed (DE) genes across tissue samples or experimental conditions for the analysis of microarray data is the greatest challenge nowadays. Several approaches have already been used to improve the identification of DE genes. In this study, the most popular methods such as Significance Analysis of Microarrays, two Samples Mean Test........
