Antifungal Activities and Phytochemical Screening of Xanthium strumariumDheeraj Vasu
ABSTRACT: Antifungal activities and phytochemical screening of Xanthium strumarium (Asteraceae) was carried out in laboratory. Distilled water and methanol extracts of the leaves of plant was prepared. Five phytopathogenic fungi: Alternaria brassicae, Botrytis cinerea, Fusarium oxysporum, Phytophthora capsici and Sclerotium rolfsii were tested at different concentrations (50 mg/ml, 100 mg/ml, 150 mg/ml, 200 mg/ml, 250 mg/ml) of selected plant extracts. The phytochemical screening depicted the presence of terpenoids, saponins, flavonoids, tannins and alkaloids. The antifungal activity of extracts was determined by poisoned food technique; and linear mycelium growth reduction (LMGR) percentage was calculated. The distilled water extracts inhibited the growth of fungal mycelium while methanolic extracts completely inhibited (100%) the growth of some selected fungi at higher concentrations. Fusarium oxysporum was the most susceptible fungus while A. brassicae and B. cinerea were the most resistant fungi.

Phytochemical Screening, Antioxidant, and Antibacterial Activity of Dioon spi...BRNSS Publication Hub
The present study was aimed to investigate the phytochemical, antioxidant, and antibacterial studies of leaf and rachis of Dioon spinulosum Dyer ex Eichl. The phytochemical screening of the plant extracts revealed the presence of alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, terpenoids, carbohydrate, and phenols, whereas saponin was absent. The phenolic content expressed as mg/g gallic acid equivalent was determined and was more in methanolic extract of leaf (29.40 mg) than rachis (8.76 mg). Flavonoid contents were also greater in leaves than in rachis and methanol extract contained higher content (2.812 mg/g) than water (1.923 mg/g). Terpenoids were more in the aqueous extracts of both leaf and rachis when compared to methanol extracts. Antioxidant activity of both leaf and rachis extracts was conducted using 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and ferric reducing antioxidant power assay. Leaf extract showed more DPPH radical scavenging activity with IC50 value of 130 μg/ml when compared to the rachis of D. spinulosum Dyer ex Eichl. The reducing capability of the leaf extract was found to be more when compared to rachis. The antibacterial potential was evaluated with Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus mutans by agar well diffusion method. Antibacterial activity was observed only at higher concentration (1000 μg/ml) with inhibition zones of 12 mm and 13 mm.
ABSTRACT- The present study was planned to study the antimicrobial activity of different plant extract against selected microorganisms. The plants used in the present study were Ocimum sanctum (Tulsi), Withania somnifera (Ashwgandha), Santalum album (Chandan), Aloe vera (Aloe barbadensis), and shatavari (Asparagus racemosus). The extract from the leaves of these plants (are) used in malaria, bronchitis, gastric disorders, cough, cold etc. To test efficiency of some common plants extract against E. coli, Salmonella typhi, Proteus vulgaris, Staphylococcus aureus. Contrary to the synthetic drugs, antimicrobials of plant origin are not associated with many side effects and have an enormous therapeutic potential to heal many infectious diseases. The present investigation is therefore, undertaken to test the efficiency of some of the common plant extracts against some plants and human pathogens, i.e. E. coli and S. aureus. In this project work, we studied the different parts of medicinal plants of Latur, Osmanabad region used for curing different type of diseases specially skin diseases. Some plants have active components which show antimicrobial activity. These Herbal plants are beneficial to human being in therapeutic practice. Skin diseases are difficult conditions to live with, to save the very least. Though some skin diseases may cause minimal discomfort, the visual effects of the conditions can cause significant self esteem and confidence issues. The majority of skin diseases cause scarring or disfigurement. Skin diseases run the gambit from barely noticeable to fatal.

Bilayer tablet is new era for the successful development of controlled release formulation along with various features to provide a way of successful drug delivery system. Bi-layer tablets developing a combination of two or more Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (API) in a single dosage form (bilayer tablet) has increased in the pharmaceutical industry, promoting patient convenience and compliance. For a variety of reasons: patent extension, therapeutic, marketing to name a few. To reduce capital investment, quite often existing but modified tablet presses are used to develop and produce such tablets. This article explains why the development and production of quality bi-layer tablets needs to be carried out on purpose-built tablet presses to overcome common bi-layer problems, such as layer-separation, insufficient hardness, inaccurate individual layer weight control, cross-contamination between the layers, reduced yield, etc. Using a modified tablet press may therefore not be your best approach to producing bilayer tablet under GMP-condition. Especially when in addition high production output is required.

Lead toxicity due to paint and other industrial sources and contradiction in ...SriramNagarajan15
Lead is one of the oldest known and most widely studied occupational and environmental toxins. Despite intensive study, there is still vigorous debate about the toxic effects of lead, both from low-level exposure in the general population owing to environmental pollution and historic use of lead in paint and plumbing and from exposure in the occupational setting. The majority of industries historically associated with high lead exposure have made dramatic advances in their control of occupational exposure. However, cases of unacceptably high exposure and even of frank lead poisoning are still seen, predominantly in the demolition and tank cleaning industries. Nevertheless, in most industries blood lead levels have declined below levels at which signs or symptoms are seen and the current focus of attention is on the subclinical effects of exposure. The significance of some of these effects for the overt health of the workers is often the subject of debate. Inevitably there is pressure to reduce lead exposure in the general population and in working environments, but any legislation must be based on a genuine scientific evaluation of the available evidences. We will discuss in this article about the various Mechanism of actions due to toxicity of the lead.

Two homologous series of 1, 2-disubstituted benzimidazoles carrying isoindolines (6a-n) were synthesized by mannich type reaction of 2-alkyl benzimidazolyl isoindoline-1,3-dione (4a-b) with different substituted aromatic primary amines (5a-g) using formaldehyde in acid as a condensing agent. The pthalic anhydride (1) and amino acids -glycine, alanine (2a-b) fused at 180° c to give 2-(1, 3-dioxoisoindolin-2-yl) carboxylic acids (3a-b). These acids undergo cyclization with 1, 2 diaminobenzene yield (4a-b). The structures of the synthesized isoindolines were confirmed by spectral analysis. The synthesized benzimidazolyl isoindoline were screened for their in-vivo antinociceptive activities. Most of the synthesized isoindolines exhibited significant analgesic and anti-inflammatory activities. Among this isoindolines 6c, 6d, 6e, 6f, 6l, 6k, 6m, 6n were showed appreciable antinociceptive potency. The isoindolines (4a-b) and (6a-n) were screened for their in-vivo central nervous system locomotor activities. Among these tested isoindolines 4a, 4b, 6a, 6b, 6e, 6f were only shows elevated central nervous system depressant potency.

Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.

Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

RESULTS: Overall life span (LS) was 2252.1±1742.5 days and cumulative 5-year survival (5YS) reached 73.2%, 10 years – 64.8%, 20 years – 42.5%. 513 LCP lived more than 5 years (LS=3124.6±1525.6 days), 148 LCP – more than 10 years (LS=5054.4±1504.1 days).199 LCP died because of LC (LS=562.7±374.5 days). 5YS of LCP after bi/lobectomies was significantly superior in comparison with LCP after pneumonectomies (78.1% vs.63.7%, P=0.00001 by log-rank test). AT significantly improved 5YS (66.3% vs. 34.8%) (P=0.00000 by log-rank test) only for LCP with N1-2. Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: phase transition (PT) early-invasive LC in terms of synergetics, PT N0—N12, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells- CC and blood cells subpopulations), G1-3, histology, glucose, AT, blood cell circuit, prothrombin index, heparin tolerance, recalcification time (P=0.000-0.038). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and PT early-invasive LC (rank=1), PT N0—N12 (rank=2), thrombocytes/CC (3), erythrocytes/CC (4), eosinophils/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), segmented neutrophils/CC (8), stick neutrophils/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10); leucocytes/CC (11). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (area under ROC curve=1.0; error=0.0).
CONCLUSIONS: 5YS of LCP after radical procedures significantly depended on: 1) PT early-invasive cancer; 2) PT N0--N12; 3) cell ratio factors; 4) blood cell circuit; 5) biochemical factors; 6) hemostasis system; 7) AT; 8) LC characteristics; 9) LC cell dynamics; 10) surgery type: lobectomy/pneumonectomy; 11) anthropometric data. Optimal diagnosis and treatment strategies for LC are: 1) screening and early detection of LC; 2) availability of experienced thoracic surgeons because of complexity of radical procedures; 3) aggressive en block surgery and adequate lymph node dissection for completeness; 4) precise prediction; 5) adjuvant chemoimmunoradiotherapy for LCP with unfavorable prognosis.

ABSTRACT
The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare practically achieved disinfection efficacy of some locally
available disinfectants on surfaces and infectious microbiological hospital waste. Three disinfectants were tested
at concentrations recommended by manufacturers on rough and smooth surfaces that were contaminated
experimentally by locally circulating isolates of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, multi drug-
resistant Acinetobacter baumannii, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Enterobacter aerogenes, Pseudomonas aeruginosa
strains, standard isolate of Salmonella typhi and Candida albicans. Reduction in microbial counts before and
after surface disinfection was expressed as log reduction. A very heavy microbial waste load was simulated by
immersing culture plates with heavy microbial growth in disinfectants. Daily, a sample of disinfectant was taken
and subjected to Rideal-walker test.
Keywords: Disinfectant, evaluation, hospital practice.
INTRODUCTION
Disinfection is the process of destruction or
removal of pathogenic microorganisms and the
object is said to be disinfected. The control of
micro organisms extends into many diverse areas
such as pharmaceuticals, medicine, hospital
environment, food processing, and every day
household. Whereas the destruction or removal of
all forms of life is called sterilization, disinfection
is the process of destruction or removal of
pathogenic micro organisms and the object is said
to be disinfected.
Ancient Egyptians used antibacterial oils, spices
and balsams as disinfectants. Chlorine compounds
were referred to as powerful disinfecting agents in
1827 in Lancet. Compounds including chlorine gas,
silver nitrate, phenol, zinc compounds and iodine
were used as disinfectants in the first half of the
19th
century (1, 2). Solution of chlorinated lime was
used for hand disinfection in Vienna in 1861.
Pasteur and Lister also contributed in the field;
ultimately Koch (1881) tested the action of
different disinfectants on pure cultures.
The term disinfection is generally used for a
process in which micro organisms present on non
living or inanimate objects and surfaces are killed
using chemical substances (3,10). The process does
not necessary free the surfaces from the bacterial
spores. The commonly used disinfectants belongs
to the categories namely phenol and its derivatives,
compounds of heavy metals, mercury compounds
organic chemicals, soaps, synthetic detergents and
alcohols (8, 9). The damage to the micro organisms
2. 49
B.Ramsarath kumar et al / Int. J. of Pharmacy and Analytical Research Vol-2(2) 2013 [48-54]
www.ijpar.com
occurs by denaturation or coagulation of cell
components. It may also occur by non specific
combination of the disinfectants with the cell
compounds like cell wall, proteins, nucleic acids
etc. The rate and extent of disinfectant action of
any substance generally depends on many factors
including, time of expose, temperature, pH,
concentration, surface tension, etc.
Based on their rate of reaction and potency
disinfectants have been arbitrarily classified in to 3
groups namely strong, week and moderate (4,5).
The effectiveness of disinfectants is highly
variable. An ideal disinfectant should be effective
against all type of microorganisms. In other words,
it should have a broad spectrum of activity at low
concentrations. The efficacy of disinfectants can be
determined by mixing them with known
microorganisms under controlled experimental
conditions and then inferring the extent of damage
to the microbial cultures from the observations
(11,12).

RIDEAL-WALKER METHOD
Procedure:
Dilutions of the test disinfectant and phenol are
first prepared and quantities each of 5ml are
measured of four chosen dilutions in each of sterile
tubes. Place the tubes alongside the 24 hours broth
culture in a rack in a water bath at 17.50 + 0.50;(1)
fifth tube contains 5ml of one of the standard
phenol dilutions (usually 1 in 105 dilutions). At 30
seconds intervals, the tubes are inoculated with 0.2
ml of the culture by means of a pipette and shake
the tubes gently after each inoculation(6). Thirty
seconds after the inoculation of the fifth tubes i.e.
2½ minutes after inoculating the first tube, remove
the first tube from the rack, shake it gently transfer
one standard loop full to a 5ml tube or R-W broth
and return the tube to the rack make sure that the
amount removed a loop full droplet and not just a
film within the loop)(7,8). The procedure was
Repeat 30 seconds intervals with each reaction tube
of the disinfectant in turn until the whole cycle has
been repeated four times, i.e. from each reaction
tube subcultures have been made after intervals of
2.5, 5. 7.5 And 10 minutes. Incubate the broth
tubes at 370
C for not less than 48 hours and not
more than 72 hours and record the presence of
absence growth in each tube.

DISCUSSION
In present investigation an attempt was made to
evaluate the disinfectant of commercial
preparations namely domex, Dettol, lyzol, white
phenol by following standard procedure employing
Staphylococcus aureus as test organism as
indicated in tables it was found that lyzol shows
good disinfectant activity among other the over
value phenol coefficient was found to be highest in
case of lyzol. As indicate in 2a, 2b &2c the phenol
coefficient of LYZOL was observed as 1.368. As
indicate in 3a, 3b &3c the phenol coefficient of
DOMEX was observed as 1.135. As indicate in 1a,
1b &1c the phenol coefficient of DETTOL was
observed as 1.332.
The order of disinfectant activity of the selected
chemical disinfectants is as follows:
LYZOL > DOMEX > DETTOL.
CONCLUSION
The present investigations of 3 different
commercial chemical disinfectants were evaluated
for their disinfectant actually by following standard
procedure.Among 3 different commercial chemical
preparations Lysol has sharan good disinfectant
activity against the test organism Staphylococcus
aureus.
The older of disinfectant activity of the selected
chemical disinfectants is as follows:
LYZOL > DOMEX > DETTOL.
