Gradual vision loss is linked to degenerative changes and cataract. The Isotine-herbal eyedrop has been clinically used for 36 years with a claim to reverse the cataract-induced visual impairment. This retrospective observational study on 308 cataract patients, registered between 2017 to 2019 at Basu Eye hospital, Bareli, UP, India, having 3 months of treatment, shows the significant therapeutic response in uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA) based on logMAR mean before and after treatment (P<.001). The improvement has been observed in patients having UDVA 0.1 to 1.7 and in UNVA from N-6.1 to N-36and above. Patients of partial vision impairment, having logMAR up to 0.99, significantly attained either normal vision or below 6/18 (logMAR- 0.47). In 103 patients of severe vision impairment (logMAR mean 1.0 to 1.77, considered as Blind by WHO), only 40 patients did not respond, but the remaining 63 patients attained a logMAR mean below logMAR-0.8. In the case of UNVA, 169 patients had vision between N-12 to N35, but after treatment, either they got normal vision...

Plants and plant-based medicaments are the basis of many of the modern pharmaceuticals we use today for our various diseases. Pterocarpus santalinus Linn (Fabaceae) is a small to the medium-sized deciduous tree is widely distributed in the tropical regions of the world. The plant is mainly used to cure skin ailments, cough, hyper nervous activity and is also used as an anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, and hepatoprotective agent. The present study aimed to determine qualitative and quantitative phytochemical and in-vitro antioxidant activities of the leaf of P. santalinus. Qualitative analysis of various phytochemical constituents and quantitative analysis of total phenol and flavonoids were determined by the well-known test protocol available in the literature. Quantitative analysis of phenolic and flavonoids was carried out by Folins Ciocalteau reagent and aluminum chloride methods, respectively. The in-vitro antioxidant activity of hydroalcoholic extract of the leaf was assessed against the DPPH assay method using standard protocols. Phytochemical analysis revealed the presence of flavonoids, diterpenes, phenol, protein, saponins, and tannins. The total phenolic and flavonoid content of...

Alzheimer’s disease, the most scattered neurodegenerative disease causes progressive destruction in serviceable performances and continuous reduction in cognitive activities and memory in aged people. It is estimated that people suffering from AD is about 10% between 65-70 years and 50% in people above 85years of age and this number will double every two decades. Even though extensive research has been carried out for decades, there is no specific therapeutic drug available for the permanent cure of Alzheimer`s Disease. In this study, squalene, a natural compound synthesized from marine shark liver oil is selected to evaluate its Anti-Alzheimer’s properties in Experimentally AD-induced Male Albino Rats. In the present study, in-vivo experiments were carried out to test the Anti-Alzheimer’s property of Squalene on Male Albino Rats under D-galactose-induced AD. The estimation of ACh and AChE content in the Cerebral Cortex and Hippocampus was done in different groups of rats at different time intervals. The results revealed that in experimentally AD-induced Rats, Squalene caused significant ACh content elevation while reducing AChE activity...

To solve the problem of low drug availability in the body, acyclovir was fabricated into biodegradable gelatin nanoparticles by step-wise two-times desolvation method where gelatin was used as biodegradable polymer and glutaraldehyde was utilized as a cross-linking agent. Optimization was conceded by design expert computational application whereby the outcome of gelatin polymer concentration (X1) and glutaraldehyde-crosslinking agent (X2) were studied on particle size (Y1), zeta potential (Y2), and entrapment efficiency (Y3). The drug-loaded gelatin nanoparticle formulations were characterized by particle size, surface charge, and entrapment efficiency. ANOVA studies also evaluated drug-loaded gelatin nanoparticles. The optimized formulation (F9) of 0.8% gelatin polymer (X1) and 250 μl of glutaraldehyde-crosslinking agent (X2) containing acyclovir: gelatin ratio of 1:8, which showed a particle size, zeta potential and maximum entrapment efficiency of 139.87 nm, -32.67mv and 91.23%...

Anustrca annlipes (fiddler crab), often called crab, are decaped crustaceans of the uca family. They belong to the ocypodidae family, which contains over a hundred species of semi-terrestrial sea crabs. 11 of the 13 genera in the ocypodidae crab family are made up of more than 100 fiddler crab species. The species can be found on sea and brackish intertidal mud flats, lagoons and swamps, mangroves, salt marshes, and sandy or muddy west coasts. Anustrca annlipes also promotes the turnover and mineralization of critical nutrients and several species-specific body colour patterns that can act as intra- and intra-specific signals. Compared to female and smaller male uca annulipes crabs, they excavate their tunnels. An antimicrobial is a substance that kills or inhibits the development of bacteria. Antimicrobial medications are classified based on the bacteria they predominantly target. Through review number of antimicrobial proteins from Anustrca annlipes were identified. So the antimicrobial protein enolase from Anustrca annlipes sequence was retrieved from NCBI databases. Gene annotation was carried out by using amigo...
