The article is dedicated to studying the impact of the cases causing trauma on the self – realization of students. The levels of the self – realization of students who often subject to traumas with different professions and who rarely subject to trauma are distinguished, and the impact of trauma on the level of their emotional tolerance and academic achievements is determined. It is established that there is an important relation between the self – realization of students with the events causing trauma and this relation is more evident at the levels of self – realization. The study shows that the young who are not subjected to a serious trauma have a high self – realization in comparison with others. Though their academic achievement is same, but creativity is higher in the young who are subjected to trauma less and they always think about the individual development. Procedural and content motives dominate in their activity and in reality, expresses itself as doing different work in the direction of self...

Lead is a well-known hepatotoxic and all-pervading heavy metal. Ingestion of lead induces structural dysfunctions, physiological distortion and biochemical impairment in the liver. The present study was aimed to ascertain the ameliorated effect of chloroform extract of Murraya leaves against the deleterious effects of lead on hepatic function parameters. Murraya koenigii Chloroform Extract (MKCE) was prepared by maceration. Male albino Swiss mice were divided into three groups of six each. Group I (Control group) served as normal diet and water ad libitum as control group, Group II (lead treated group) received intraperitoneal injection of lead acetate (15mg/kg) daily once whereas Group III (MKCE with lead-treated group) received MKCE (50 mg/kg) and injection of lead acetate intraperitoneally (15mg/kg) daily once time. Experimental study continued for consecutive 7 days. On the 8th day, liver were desiccated from all animals; homogenized to collect supernatant into vials. Serum ALT, AST, ALP, TB, TP and ALB levels were estimated. Significant rise in levels of ALT, AST, ALP, TB were observed along with decreased level...

Objective of the present work was to evaluating the antidiabetic property of Kandelia candel and Rhizophora apiculata extracts by using in vitro assays. The serial exhaustive extraction was carried out with a series of solvents: chloroform, ethyl acetate, methanol, ethanol and water with increasing polarity using Soxhlet apparatus. The concentrated and dried extracts were evaluated for antidiabetic activity by employing standard in vitro techniques (Alpha-amylase and glucose uptake assay using yeast model). In vitro antidiabetic studies show that in case of Kandelia candel methanol extract showed higher antidiabetic activity where as incase of Rhizophora apiculata aqueous extract exhibited significant activity when compared to other solvent extracts. Results confirm that aqueous extract of Rhizophora apiculata exhibited highest antidiabetic activity among all extracts. This study provides scientific evidence that the leaves of Kandelia candel and Rhizophora apiculata have anti-diabetic efficacy. However further comprehensive chemical and pharmacological investigation should be carried out to isolate the active compounds and appropriate elucidation of its mechanism of action and it helps in the development of...

Dental biofilms are majorly developed by Streptococcus mutans, a cariogenic microorganism and are one of the major effects of glucosyltransferases (Gtf) produced by it. This study was conducted to determine the antagonistic potential of probiotic bacteria against S. mutans biofilm formation. We studied the anti-biofilm formation ability of three Lactobacillus species viz L. rhamnosus, L. acidophilus and L. plantarum. Inhibition of biofilm formation was checked on a cell culture cluster. The samples with robust inhibitory activity were selected to check their effect on Gtf activity by estimating the changes in the amount of glucan synthesized, the Gtf catalyzed reaction product. The results showed that, the cell free broth of L. plantarum and L. acidophilus has significant inhibitory and displacement activity on biofilm formation by the cariogenic organism when employed individually and in combination. Further, the interference (80% reduction) in glucan synthesis observed by applying these lactic acid bacteria (LAB) samples suggested their possible role in inhibition of glucosyltransferase (insoluble) [Gtf-I]. In conclusion, our studies demonstrated repressive activities of two...

Synthesis of metal nanoparticles has become an important branch of nanotechnology and there is an increasing commercial demand for nanoparticles due to their wide applications. The present study was carried to synthesize silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using the ethanolic extract of the Leucas aspera and evaluate its in-vitro anti inflammatory activity. The synthesis was done by using the ethanolic solution of L. aspra extract and AgNO3. The AgNPs were characterized using UV-Spectroscopic analysis, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Fourier Transform Infra Red Spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis. UV-Vis spectral analysis shows a maximum absorption peak at 421.00 nm. The FTIR spectra of AgNPs exhibited prominent peaks at 3697cm-1,1761cm-1,1390cm-1, 831cm-1 which are associated with OH stretching, C=C stretching, CH stretching respectively. The SEM analysis of the synthesized AgNPs clearly showed the clustered and irregular shapes, mostly aggregated and having the size of 25-80 nm. The synthesized AgNPs exhibited an enhanced anti inflammatory activity due to the synergistic effect of phytoconstituents in L. aspera extract and the silver...
