ASSOCIATION OF THE APOLIPOPROTEIN B/APOLIPOPROTEIN A-1 RATIO WITH THE SEVERITY OF CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE IN PATIENTS WITH TYPE 2 DIABETES MELLITUS
Although many studies have demonstrated the importance of the apoB/apoA-1 ratio as a risk marker of atherogenicity, less is known about apoB/apoA-1 ratio in predicting and the severity of coronary artery disease (CAD) in T2DM. Our study aimed to assess possible associations between apoB/apoA-1 ratio levels and the severity of coronary artery diseases in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM...

FORMULATION AND EVALUATION OF NIOSOMES ENCAPSULATED WITH KT2 AND RT2: ANTIMICROBIAL AND ANTICANCER PEPTIDES DERIVED FROM CROCODILE LEUKOCYTE EXTRACT
Niosome is one of the synthetic nanoparticles which often is used for drug delivery and cosmetic industry. The aim of this study was to prepare niosomes encapsulated with KT2 and RT2. KT2 and RT2 are antimicrobial and anticancer peptides derived from crocodile leukocyte extract. Niosomes encapsulated with KT2 and RT2 were prepared by thin-film hydration technique, and peptide encapsulation efficie...

ANTIFERTILITY INVESTIGATIONS ON THE ETHANOL EXTRACT OF EUGENIA SINGAMPATTIANA BEDD LEAF IN MALE ALBINO RATS
Antifertility effect of ethanol extract of leaf of Eugenia singampattiana was observed in male albino rats. The relative weight of the testes and epididymis were decreased. The epididymal sperm count, motility and sperm abnormality were reduced significantly in treated rats. There was an increase in serum urea, creatinine and the activity of liver marker enzyme (SGOT) levels of drug treated rats. ...

TARGETED THERAPIES FOR RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS: A REVIEW
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an aggressive disease that needs to be treated effectively if subsequent deformity and disability are to be reduced. A recent advance in the management of RA is the use of biological agents which block certain key molecules involved in the pathogenesis of the illness. They include tumor necrosis factor (TNF-a) - blocking agents, Anti-Interleukin-1receptor (IL-1) antago...

ANTIDIABETIC AND ANTI-INFLAMMATORY ACTIVITY OF UTICA DIOICA LEAVES ON STZ INDUCED TYPE 1 DIABETIC MODEL RATS
In the present study we have explored the effect of Urtica dioica, a traditional antidiabetic herb used in India and Bangladesh, on insulinemic and chronic inflammatory status of type 1 diabetic model rats. The mature and fresh leaves of U. dioica was collected from the mountain range of Assam in India and the water extract of the leaves was used at a dose of 1.25g/kg body weight. Adult Long-Evans...

COMPARATIVE EVALUATION OF THE ANTIMICROBIAL ACTIVITY OF ETHANOL EXTRACT OF TAXUS BACCATA, PHYLLANTHUS DEBILIS, PLECTRANTHUS AMBOINICUS AGAINST MULTI DRUG RESISTANT BACTERIA
Ethanol extract of the leaves of Taxus baccata, Phyllanthus debilis, Plectranthus amboinicus were studied for their antimicrobial property against multidrug resistant bacterial strains (MDR) from clinical specimens. Of these three plants, the most potent antimicrobial plant was Phyllanthus debilis followed by Taxus baccata (MIC range 80 - 400μg/ml) having broad spectrum activity, whereas Plectran...

NANOCARRIERS: A NOVEL TREATMENT APPROACH FOR ARTHRITIS
Arthritis is a major cause of disability conventionally treated for long term with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and corticosteroids. NSAIDs are nonselective inhibitors of cyclooxygenase and cause GI toxicity, antiplatelet effects, cardiotoxicity, renal toxicity and anaphylactic reactions in selected patients. Corticosteroids have multiple side effects, including gastrointestinal bleeding, ...

SENSITIVITY AND RESISTANCE PATTERN OF ANTIMICROBIAL AGENTS USED IN CASES OF NEONATAL SEPSIS AT A TERTIARY CARE CENTRE IN WESTERN INDIA
Purpose: Neonatal sepsis, a major killer among neonate, necessitates urgent implementation of empirical therapy and later specific antimicrobial therapy against causative microorganism. Empirical therapy relies upon data obtained from previous studies. We conducted this study to evaluate the blood culture, sensitivity and resistance pattern of various antimicrobial agents in neonatal sepsis at Neo...
