What two major effects did the preaching of the Gospel have? (1-7) Why does preaching the Good News of Jesus Christ and His resurrection offend many people, and engender persecution? Should opposition or persecution discourage us from fulfilling the great commission, “to make disciples”? What encouraged Paul to pray for the crippled man? (9) Why aren’t miracles such as the healing of the crippled man characteristic in today’s churches? What was the outcome of the crippled man’s healing? (11-18) Why was Paul stoned at Lystra? (19) How did Paul survive the stoning? (19-20) What does the stoning of Paul (19) remind you of? Did the persecution dampen Paul's zeal for preaching the gospel? (21-28) Why do you think this was so? Describe the Pauline strategy of evangelization and establishing local churches. Compare what you observe of Paul’s strategy with what characterizes most modern missions. Why do you think most mission boards and agencies do not follow the model found in Acts?

One of the main problems faced by the Healthcare industry today is the transportation and storage of life-saving medications. Especially in the case of insulin and other vaccines that demand optimal temperature maintenance during storage and while on transit. Since India is a tropical country with varying temperatures, refrigeration cannot be an optimum solution at all places and times. Earthen pots called 'Matkas' or 'Man Paanai' have been used since the ancient days to store drinking water. Since these pots are made out of clay, the walls possess tiny pores that provide a greater surface area for evaporation. Whereas, bioinspired cotton is a revolutionary material that is extremely hydrophobic. Combining these technologies could be an innovative design to tackle the current issue. Fabricating a bioinspired cotton pouch (BCP), assisted with ice packs, that floats inside the earthen pot constitutes a mini-environment. This setup could sustain itself by maintaining the required ambient temperature for the medications. This ideology is simple, practical, and cost-effective. Further enhancement of the design can be envisioned via coating the pot with nano-engineered polymers that claim to keep buildings cool in summer.

Protein-Protein Complex Structural Analysis of Human Fibronectin and Staphylo...AmalDhivaharS
Staphylococcus aureus is an invasive gram-positive bacteria responsible for an array of infectious diseases including bacterial keratitis, skin infections, and could even end up in certain malignant conditions like pneumonia and meningitis. Fibronectins are integrin-binding protein dimers of the extracellular matrix of vertebrates. They are significant for cellular functions like adhesion, migration, and growth. The Fibronectin-binding protein A of S. aureus bind to these high molecular weight glycoproteins on the host cells. This forms a bridge for bacterial invasion and evasion from the host immuno-surveillance. Since in silico methodologies have become a vital part of drug designing processes, the present study was designed to analyse the protein-protein interactions between this protein complex using software such as UCSF Chimera, PyMol, ArgusLab, and other online tools. The protein complex structures of Fibronectin and Fibronectin-binding protein A were homology modelled and evaluated using Ramachandran plots and other significant parameters. The complementarity and interactions between the proteins were observed concerning surface analysis and various properties. Possible ligands for the proteins were also studied to understand the drug development trajectory and to develop ideas for new potential drugs.
An Overview of Flax Seeds – Phytochemical Profile, Extraction & Dietary BenefitsAmalDhivaharS
Flax (Linum usitatissimum L.) or the Linseed, a cultivated food cum fibre crop well known in the textile industry, comes from the Linaceae family. Flaxseeds have a major significance in history since their first domestication in the Fertile Crescent region and are well known for their high nutritional and medicinal values. Flax seeds contain more than 70% of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), an omega3 essential fatty acid that is known to suppress the proliferation of several cancer cell lines, along with certain unsaturated fatty acids such as oleic, linoleic and linolenic acids. Flaxseed oil (FSO) is looked up for the treatment of various ailments including rheumatoid arthritis, high cholesterol level, osteoarthritis, anxiety, vaginal infections, atherosclerosis, benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and so on. It is usually extracted from the flaxseeds by press and solvent extraction methods and was used for research purposes in the past years in the medicinal, pharmaceutical, and food industry. In the present study, the flaxseeds were powdered using a grinder and the FSO was extracted using a Clevenger apparatus by the hydro-distillation method. A comprehensive analysis of the phytochemical composition and alimental properties revealed that flaxseeds may have anti-cancer effects when consumed regularly as part of one's diet.
Cytotoxic Activity of Linum usitatissimum L. Essential oil against Lung Adeno...AmalDhivaharS
The Essential oils of numerous medicinal plants are reported to have significant anti-cancer effects due to the presence of active phytochemicals. Flax seeds (Linum usitatissimum L.) are found to be a rich source of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), an essential fatty acid, which is a precursor to several omega-3 fatty acids, claimed to have lipid-lowering properties. It is also known to have enriched with certain unsaturated fatty acids such as oleic, linoleic and linolenic acids and relatively low glucosinolate content. In this study, we have extracted the essential oil from flaxseeds (FEO) through the Hydro-distillation method and analyzed its anti-cancer effects on A549 human lung adenocarcinoma cell line. The GC-MS analysis indicated the presence of various phytochemical compounds with antitumor properties such as hexadecanoic acid, cis - vaccenic acid, and isopropyl myristate. The Trypan blue and MTT assays conducted with concentrations ranging from 0.04 to 0.20 V/V% provided IC50 values of 0.11 and 0.16 V/V% respectively for cancer cell line growth inhibition. The cell line migration was also monitored using the wound-scratch assay with essential oil concentrations of 0.16 and 0.20 V/V% at the 24th hour. The essential oil could efficiently prevent the rapid migration of lung cancer cells when observed under an inverted microscope. Thus, the flaxseed essential oil treatment on A549 cancer cells exhibited a dose-dependent decrease in their viability and caused apoptosis induction. Therefore, flaxseeds have a greater potency to treat lung cancer cells and this work also proposes further in vivo studies to establish this natural medication as an eminent anti-cancer drug.
Proteomic Analysis of the Serum and Excretory-Secretary proteins of Trichinel...AmalDhivaharS
The nematodes of the genus Trichinella are known to cause the pressing foodborne parasitic disease Trichinellosis and these parasites are known to complete all stages of development in one host with the enteral and parenteral phases observed during infection. Proteomics, in general, pertains to the systematic identification and quantification of the totality of proteins, which is the proteome of a biological system, at a specific point in time. The available proteomic studies have paved the way to identify and characterize Trichinella stage-specific proteins reacting with infected host-specific antibodies. Yet, very few contributions provide any information about changes in the global proteomic serum profile of Trichinella-infested individuals. Studies demonstrate that various Trichinella species and their phases of the invasion produce a characteristic proteomic pattern in the serum of experimentally infected pigs. Recent investigations have found that T. spiralis infection induced strong regulatory T cell responses through parasite excretory-secretory (ES) products, characterized by an increase of some regulatory T cells and growth factors. T. spiralis has also been reported to induce the angiogenic molecule vascular endothelial cell growth factor (VEGF) during nurse cell formation towards the induction of angiogenesis for nutrient supply and waste disposal. Herein, the various analogs considered in these studies include the serum, excretory-secretory proteins, surface proteins, immune-reactive proteins from muscle larvae (ML) and so on. Intestinal cultures, striated muscle tissues, pigs, mice, beavers, contributions from patients are some of the major models exploited for this purpose. The current analysis focuses on recapitulating the recent findings driven on this area to create a common ground for further studies and to ease any difficulty in continuing the proteomic analysis of T. spiralis using in vitro and in vivo models.
Evaluation of the Viability of PTEN Transfected MDA-MB-468 Breast Cancer Cell...AmalDhivaharS
The PTEN (Phosphatase and Tensin homolog deleted on chromosome TEN) is a tumor suppressor gene that negatively controls the phosphoinositide 3‐kinase signalling pathway for regulation of cell proliferation and cell survival. MDA-MB-468 human breast cancer cells lack estrogen receptors, over-express epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptors, and are growth inhibited by EGF. Etoposide being an extensive chemotherapeutic drug is employed to treat several human cancers and remains one of the most highly prescribed anticancer drugs in the world. In our experiment we made an attempt to examine the viability of four PTEN recombinant plasmid transfected MDA-MB-468 breast cancer cells, namely, the Enhancer green fluorescent protein – C terminal 1 (EGFPC1), wild type (WT), nuclear export signal (NES) and the nuclear localization signal (NLS) plasmids, by testing them against the anticancer drug, Etoposide. The transfection process was carried out using the Lipofectamine 3000 (L3000) and P3000 enhancer reagents in the ratio 1:1 and was confirmed by fluorescent microscopy. To measure the viability of the transfected cells, we used the MTT (3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide) assay and administered the drug at two different concentrations, 0.26µl and 0.65µl per 1.3ml of the media, to each of the four categories of the transfected cells. After an incubation period of 6 hours, the absorbance readings were measured using a UV spectrophotometer at 570nm and the % viability values calculated were found to be statistically significant (p ≤ 0.05). From both the cases of treatment, it became evident that the breast cancer cells exhibit a greater viability percentage when the PTEN gene was localized in their nucleus, via pEGFPC1-NLS-PTEN, before the Etoposide treatment.
A Review on the Antitumor Effect of Extracellular Vesicle Encapsulated Oncoly...AmalDhivaharS
The common combination of surgery with radiotherapy or chemoradiotherapy seems to remain inefficient in some advanced cancer patients with its complications and side effects. Oncolytic viruses are known for their anti-cancer mechanisms enabling the possibility for improved efficiency in cancer therapy. Chemotherapeutics combined with oncolytic viruses exhibit stronger cytotoxic responses and oncolysis. According to the authors, investigating the systemic delivery of the oncolytic adenovirus and paclitaxel encapsulated in extracellular vesicles (EV) formulation in vitro has shown a significant increase in the transduction ratio and the infectious titer when compared with them used alone. The ability of this EV formulation to reduce the in vivo tumor growth in animal xenograft model of human lung cancer has been demonstrated through this research work and it has proved to be an enhanced effect indeed. The presentation will be a review of this work, which claims to provide a promising approach combining anticancer drugs and viral therapies by intravenous EV delivery, which serves as a strategy for lung cancer treatment.
Anti-Obesity Activity of Anthocyanins and Corresponding Introduction in Dieta...AmalDhivaharS
Obesity is considered to be a crucial health issue leading to some of the disturbing
physical, psychological and social consequences. Obesity refers to the state of being
grossly fat or overweight. Though proper medications have not been framed for it’s
cure, the amount of money and hard work invested for formulating a solution
regarding this affair is massive. Developing natural products from fruits and
vegetables with bioactivities into anti-disease agents has become a hot spot in
research. In a similar case, anthocyanins are found to be extra attractive, as they
have been proved to show anti-obesity effects. Not just considering this water
soluble vacuolar pigment as a medicine, but making it as a part of one’s daily diet
would help reduce the complexity in attempting to lose weight, that has been
gained unnecessarily. Thus, understanding the medicinal avails of anthocyanin and
implementing it as a part of one’s diet would be a more effective strategy for
approaching obesity and related predicaments.
Fungal Chitinases from Trichoderma species: A Solution of Integrated Pest Man...AmalDhivaharS
The gloomy impact of the massive use of synthetic pesticides on the environment and on human health has initiated the search for environment-friendly practices for controlling plant diseases and pests. Chitinases are particularly attractive for the purpose of being biopesticides since they have fungicidal, insecticidal, and nematicidal activities. Trichoderma is a genus of fungi that is present in all soils, where they are the most prevalent culturable fungi. Many species in this genus can be characterized as opportunistic avirulent plant symbionts. Chitinases are harmless for plants and vertebrates that do not contain chitin yet, can possibly perform other auxiliary functions such as bird and mammal repellents or herbicides. Unlike in bacteria, chitinase play a major role in fungal cell wall modulation during cell division, growth, and morphogenesis and therefore all fungi possess several different chitinase. Hence combining all these advantageous properties, chitinase is considered to be a better solution for efficient agricultural practices.
In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

by His grace.

“Seek the Lord while He may be found,
call upon Him while He is near.
Let the wicked forsake his way, and the
unrighteous man his thoughts; let him
return to the Lord, and He will have mercy
on Him; and to our God, for He will
abundantly pardon”.
