Abstract: Diabetes Mellitus is a metabolic disorder and escalating public health issue with noteworthy effects on human health, living standards, the economy and health care systems. Statistics from International Diabetes Federation indicate that 425 million adults worldwide have Diabetes Mellitus and by 2045, the number of DM patients will be 352 million people were at risk of developing Type 2 Diabetes mellitus. These patients are prone to diabetic dyslipidemia, which put them at risk of developing macro vascular (stroke peripheral vascular disease ) and microvascular (nephropathy, neuropathy and retinopathy) diseases. Glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels are routinely measured in diabetics to monitor their glycemic control. Levels of HbA1c can be affected by multiple factors.......

Abstract: Abiotic stresses and climate changes become a serious mystery in plant breeding, particularly drought. the regulatory genes play a critical role in plants under abiotic stresses to complete their life cycles. WRKY transcription factors genes family are very vital in this aspect as one of stress related transcription factors. In tomato (Solanum lycopersicum), the WRKY family contains 83 members. five members of WRKY family have been selected and the study have been conducted on the two tomato cultivars; Edkawy and AC++, at three time points with two tissues (shoot and root) under drought stress conditions. Tomato plants were subjected to drought assays using water withholding treatment. The results indicated that morphological analysis of the two cultivars showed that Edkawy is highly tolerant to drought.......

Abstract: Spectrophotometry is a measurement of an interaction between electromagnetic radiation and molecules or atoms of a chemical substance. Visible Spectrophotometry method can be used to determine the levels of formalin preservatives in food. Formalin in the presence of Cromatropat acid in sulfuric acid accompanied by heating for a few minutes will result in violet staining. When the compound is heated with Cromatropat acid in a concentrated sulfuric acid solution, it will form a violet color. This reaction occurs based on the condensation of formaldehyde with the aromatic system of Cromatropat acid, forming a colored compound (3,4,5,6-dibenzoxanthylium). The staining is due to the formation of carbenium - oxonium ions which are stable due to mesometry. Formalin absorbance can be measured at a wavelength of 568.54 nm. Optimizations carried out in this study include determining the maximum.......

Abstract: Background and aims: The precise cause of vitiligo is complex but some evidences are always suggesting that it is caused by a combination of autoimmune, genetic and environmental factors. Over half of the people with vitiligo have acquired some loss of pigment cells before the age of 20 years. The prevalence of the disease is between 1-2% in general population. Therefore, the present study is taken up to evaluate the prevalence of autoimmune diseases in vitiligo patients. This also aims to determine which type of thyroid disease and disorders of thyroid autoantibody has strong possible correlations in etiopathogenesis and clinical spectrum of vitiligo, as this devastating depigmentary disease has become one of the most common skin disorders attending Dermatology OPD in the North-Eastern region of India. autoimmune theory of pathogenesis......

Abstract: Background: The increase in livestock production on the other hand can have a negative impact on the environment in the form of waste. One method of processing livestock waste is by composting. The composting process has 4 main phases, namely the initial mesophilic phase, the thermophilic phase, the late mesophilic phase and the cooling or maturation phase.. This study aims to screen for xylanase and cellulase enzymes from Bacillus cereus F1C isolates. Materials and Methods: In this research, extraction of xylan from corn cobs, cultivation of F1C bacterial isolate, xylanase screening and cellulase screening have been carried out. Results: From the screening results obtained using specific media, it is known that F1C isolates can produce xylanase and cellulase enzymes. Xylan substrate was obtained from the extraction of corn cobs.

Abstract: Background: Amylase is an enzyme that breaks down starch, turning it into sugar. There are two main types, namely alpha and beta. Amylase (α -amylase) is an enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of alpha-1,4-glycosidic amylose starch to produce glucose. Among amylase, α-amylase has the greatest demand because of its various industrial applications such as the food, textile, paper, and detergent industries. Detection of the amylase gene on the PCR instrument requires a primer. The aims of research was to obtain the best pair of primers from the amylase gene designed in silico using the application of NCBI........

Abstract: This study was carried out to investigate the oxidative stress status and serum lipid profile of wistar rats fed Nigella sativa oil and Canarium schweinfurthii oil formulated feeds. A total of 25 albino rats of wistar strain were used for the animal study. The rats were divided into four groups (n=5) according to the diets given to them which consisted of a normal basal diet group (negative control), 10% of olive oil formulated feed group (standard diet), 10% of Nigella sativa oil formulated feed group (NSO), and 10% of Canarium schweinfurthii oil formulated feed group (CSO) for an experimental feeding period of 21days. Blood samples were collected via cardiac puncture and serum prepared for biochemical analysis. The results obtained showed that all experimental groups had significant increase (P<0.05) between their mean initial and final weights. There was no significant difference (P>0.05) in the malondialdehyde......

Abstract: The study is basically based on the most common storage water problem In industrialized area which is slimy substance accumulation in the bottom of the storage tank and reservoirs. Which over the time result in the foul smell and odorous water. The present water samples were taken from the various areas where the water is stored in various large tanks to use for various house hold woks like washing cooking bathing sometimes drinking. It was found that all the areas have the alteration in the drinking water quality after 3 days due to increase slimy substance accumulation which results in growth of many harmful bacteria and fungi..
