Background : The main purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of odontogenic cysts in Kashmiri population. Methods : The data on odontogenic cysts (OCs) treated in the department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Government Dental College Srinagar from January 2011 to December 2016 was collected retrospectively. The information regarding patient’s age, sex, location of the cyst and the type of the odontogenic cyst was recorded and analysis was done using descriptive statistics. Results : A total of 152 OCs were identified out of which 87 were male and 65 female with male to female ratio of 1.3:1. The OCs were seen to predominate in the second, third and fourth decades of life, the most common anatomic location being the mandibular posterior region (40.8%). Radicular cyst dominated among the OCs (50.6 %) followed by dentigerous cyst (23%), odontogenic keratocyst (10.5%), residual cyst (8.6 %), lateral periodontal cyst (5.3 %) and paradental cyst (1.9 %). Radicular cysts most frequently involved the maxillary anterior region (33.8%) while as dentigerous cysts and odontogenic keratocysts were more common in the man-dibular posterior region (54.3% and 56.3% respectively). Conclusion : Radicular cyst and dentigerous cyst are the most prevalent odontogenic cysts in Kashmiri population; etiology being the dental decay (pulpal necrosis) and impacted teeth. In order to decrease the prevalence of radicular and dentigerous cysts, preventive measures need to be taken to diminish dental decay and programs of prophylactic extractions of impacted teeth need to be established.
ROLE OF HYSTEROSCOPY IN ABNORMAL UTERINE BLEEDING IN PERIMENOPAUSAL AGE GROUP

OBJECTIVE: The objectives included evaluation of the role of hysteroscopy in the diagnosis of abnormal uterine bleeding in women of perimenopausal age group and to correlate the hysteroscopic findings with that of histopathology. METHODOLOGY: A total of fifty perimenopausal women were subjected to hysteroscopy followed by endometrial sampling for histopathological examination. RESULTS: The age of the subjects ranged from 40 years to 53 years, with a mean of 43.64 years. Most of the women were multiparous and presented with menorrhagia. Hyperplasia was the most common finding observed on hysteroscopy. Polyps, fibroid and endometrial atrophy were diagnosed with 100% accuracy by hysteroscopy. Hyperplasia was correctly diagnosed in 94% of the cases. Hysteroscopy showed a high sensitivity and a good negative predictive value. CONCLUSION: Hysteroscopy increases the accuracy of clinical diagnosis and may serve as an adjunct in the treatment of patients with specific intrauterine pathological conditions.

GC-MS Analysis of Bioactive Compounds of Seaweed Extracts Collected from Seashore of Manalmelkudi (Pudukkottai dst., Tamilnadu), responsible for Antifungal Activity

Marine macroalgae are characterized for their production of wide array of biocidal substances. It is recorded that more than 600 secondary metabolites have been isolated from seaweeds; among which most of them are toxic substances acting as chemical defense system for protection from their grazers. They normally produce such kinds of bioactive substances in a response to predation, competition for space and tide variations. Hence possibilities for exploring the antimicrobial compounds of seaweed origin International Journal of Current Microbiology and Applied Sciences ISSN: 2319-7706 Volume 8 Number 09 (2019) Journal homepage: http://www.ijcmas. com
Senile Dementia and Oskar Fischer’s Presbyophrenia: The Forgotten Giant’s Contributions

Background: In Peng [1] (2016), I point out that the eponym of Alzheimer’s disease is a misnomer for two reasons: (1) Alzheimer did not deserve it; (2) Alzheimer’s disease never existed, because it is a fiction. Such being the case, the question that needs to be raised now is: What is the organic cause of senile dementia in relation to Oskar Fischer’s contributions? Objective: My objective, therefore, is to focus on Oskar Fischer’s contributions [2,3] (1907, 1910) to discuss three things: (1) what went wrong regarding the notion of senile dementia in the early 20th century, (2) what did Oskar Fischer contribute in 1907 and 1910 regarding the organic causes of senile dementia, and (3) the histopathological characteristics of such organic causes. This paper is, therefore, a follow-up as the second article after Peng [1] in a series of three articles, to be followed by a third one later. Method: The methods undertaken were a standard literature review, with a critical view ranging from Fischer [2,3] (1907, 1910), Alzheimer [4,5] (1907, 1911), Bonfiglio [6] (1908), Perusini [7,8] (1910, 1911), Kraepelin [9] (1910), to Vedrani [10,11] (1910, 1911), and many others. The main focus, however, is on Fischer’s contributions to the understanding of some aspects of the histopathology underlying (senile) dementia, which have been wrongly attributed to Alzheimer. Result: I therefore propose what should be done to rectify this serious historical mistake which has been taught at every medical school throughout the world for more than a century. The reason is that the problems were further reinforced in the AAIC (Alzheimer Association’s International Conference) held in Toronto in July 2016 where 5,000: experts on AD took part to debate on amyloid beta versus tau for a one-to-one cause-effect correlation to AD without any breakthrough, according to Prof. Amos Korczyn who attended the conference. Conclusion: Subsequent researches have ignored Fischer’s findings and, instead, attributed erroneously his findings to Alzheimer. It is time to correct this historical mistake by recognizing Fischer’s findings as Fischer’s Disease (FD) which he fully deserved.
FACTORS WHICH INFLUENCE ACADEMIC PERFOMANCE IN BIOLOGY IN KENYA: A PERSPECTIVE FOR GLOBAL COMPETITIVENESS

Biology is a very important subject. It enables one to understand himself/herself and the surrounding environment. The knowledge acquired in Biology is applied in many fields such as medicine, pharmacy, nursing, dentistry and agriculture. Students’ performance in Biology at the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) has been unsatisfactory over many years. Various reasons have been put forward by scholars to explain the cause of the poor performance. Students on the other hand have their reasons for the cause of the poor performance; hence the purpose of this research study was to investigate the factors that influence academic performance in Biology. The study aimed at finding out the attitudes of students towards Biology and how the attitudes influences their performance in Biology and also to find out the extent to which availability of teaching/learning resources influences performance in Biology. A descriptive survey design was used. Data was collected by use of questionnaires, observation checklists, interviews and document analysis. The sample for the study comprised 215 students drawn from 15 secondary schools in Uasin Gishu West District. The study respondents comprised form three students. Stratified random sampling was used to categorize schools into provincial, district and private. Simple random sampling was then used to select 15 schools from the 51 secondary schools in the district. At school level, the researcher applied simple random sampling technique to select 215 students who filled the questionnaires. The data was analyzed by use of descriptive statistics with the aid of SPSS computer programme. The data collected was coded, tabulated and represented using frequencies, tables and percentages. The study findings showed that, students with positive attitude towards the Biology subject, register better performance in examinations and also the availability of teaching/learning resources in schools impacted positively on students’ achievement in Biology examinations. The author of this paper recommends that: schools should motivate students so as to build on positive attitude towards sciences, so as to able to compete globally in the careers. Schools without teaching/learning resources should not be registered by the ministry of Education and schools should strive to build on good image.
Systemic therapy for bone sarcomas

Bone sarcomas comprise less than 0.2% of all malignancies and are divided into several subtypes with varying sensitivities to systemic therapy. While the role of adjuvant chemotherapy in the management of soft-tissue sarcomas is controversial, perioperative chemotherapy has greatly improved the survival of nonmetastatic Ewing sarcoma and osteosarcoma. However, metastatic unresectable Ewing sarcoma and osteosarcoma are still associated with a poor prognosis. Giant cell tumor of bone and chordoma are refractory to conventional cytotoxic chemotherapy, but in recent years targeted therapy has been shown to be able to provide a degree of control of unresectable disease. Conventional chondrosarcoma remains refractory to systemic therapy, although the less common subtypes, dedifferentiated and mesenchymal chondrosarcomas, can be sensitive to chemotherapy but still have a poor prognosis.
ANALYZING AND EXTRACTING SOCIALMINING TRENDS THROUGH WEB OPINION DEVELOPMENTS VIA DENSITY BASED CLUSTERING

—The advancement of Web technologieslead to a large volume of Web opinions,which is available throughout on social media sites such as twitters,Facebook and LinkedIn. These technologies provide a platform for Internet users around the world to communicate with each other and express their various opinions. Analysis of developing Web opinions is potentially valuable for discovering ongoing topics of interests of the public such as current trends and crime detection. Unlike regular documents, Web opinions are short and sparse text messages with noisy content. Typical document clustering techniques with the goal of clustering all documents applied to Web opinions produce degradable performance. In this paper, we investigated the density-based clustering algorithm and proposed the scalable distance-based clustering technique for Web opinion clustering. This Web opinion clustering technique enables the identification of themes within discussions in web social networks and their development, as well as the interactions ofactive participants. We also developed interactive visualization tools, which make use of the identified topic clusters to display social network development, the network topology similarity between topics, and the similarity values between participants.
DETERMINANTS OF AUDIT FEES AND FINANCIAL CRISIS

Recent literature on audit fee reveals that auditors are under pressure to reduce audit fees during crisis. This paper investigates a new aspect of auditor behavior during crisis: how the downward pressure on audit fees influences the determinants of audit fees during crisis. The results, using Korean data for the period 2005-2010, reveal the following: First, consistent with prior studies, audit fees dropped significantly during the financial crisis period, supporting the existence of downward pressure on audit fees. Second, among the determinants of audit fees, the coefficients on firm size decreased significantly while those on firm risk increased during crisis. These findings suggest that auditors respond differently to small firms and risky firms when facing downward pressure on audit fees. Collectively, the above results provide useful insights into how auditors behave when they are under pressure to reduce audit fees.

The known higher incidence of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) in men and older age suggests a role of sex steroidal hormones in the disease process. Animal models of ALS have shown lower levels of plasma testosterone. Testosterone is known to exert neuroprotective and neurotrophic actions on neurons. Our objective was to study the association of total testosterone (TT) levels with disease severity on ALS Functional Rating Scale-Revised (ALS FRS-R) scale and King’s Staging. This cross-sectional study included 64 males with definite/probable ALS. Patients’ morning plasma TT levels were tested, and ALS FRS-R and King’s Staging was marked. Standard score was used to compare the deviation of patients’ TT levels from average TT levels of age matched healthy males. A scatter plot was constructed, and correlation analysis was performed using Spearman’s Rank Correlation. 39/64 patients (60.9 %) had TT levels that were lower by 1/more standard deviation, than age matched average levels in healthy men. There was a statistically significant positive correlation of TT levels with ALS FRS-R (r=.326, p=0.009) and negative correlation with King’s Staging (r=-.312, p=0.012). Thus, with declining function and disease progression, standard scores of TT levels decreased. Maintaining plasma TT levels, as close to age matched average levels, may be explored as an adjuvant therapy in ALS.
Molecular tracking of cultivable lactic acid bacteria from digestive tract of Japanese quail (Coturnix coturnix japonica) fed with various grain sources

Article history Received: 31 May, 2017 Revised: 20 Jun, 2017 Accepted: 30 Jun, 2017 Abstract Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB) possess many beneficial functions in the digestive tract of animals. The aim of the present study was to determine total LAB and Enterobacteriaceae counts and to track cultivable LAB isolates from proventriculus and small intestines of Japanese quails (Coturnix coturnix japonica) fed with various grain sources. Three treatment groups were fed with diets, designated as BAD, WAD or CAD, depending on replacement of 50% (w/w) of basal or control diet (CD) with barley, wheat and corn, respectively. The tracking of cultivable LAB isolates (n=66) was performed based on Enterobacterial Repetitive Intergenic Consensus PCR (ERICPCR) and Amplified Ribosomal DNA Restriction Analysis (ARDRA) with combination of 16S rRNA gene sequencing. The average LAB counts within proventriculus samples were the highest for quails fed with WAD (5.47 cfu/g) and control diet (5.43 cfu/g). The highest LAB counts were detected in small intestine samples for quails fed with CAD (6.28 cfu/g). Although proventriculus and intestinal samples of BAD fed animals had the lowest LAB count, they had the most diverse LAB community in terms of number of species detected with molecular tracking. Moreover, ERIC-PCR analysis and sequencing revealed that Lactobacillus salivarius was the most commonly detected species in both parts of digestive tract of quails. Overall, feeding quails with different grain containing diets affected both total number and diversity of LAB species within proventriculus and small intestine samples. In addition, ERIC-PCR was more powerful method than ARDRA to monitor diet dependent changes in cultivable LAB composition within proventriculus and small intestine.
Bactericidal efficiency of Silver nanoparticle against water contaminants isolated from fish farms water with special reference of some physicochemical parameters of water

The bactericidal efficiency of AgNP was evaluated against Total bacterial Counts (TBC), Total Coliform Counts (TCC) and Total Faecal Streptococcal Counts (TFS) of water samples collected from fish farms water. Our finding showed that the highest concentration of Ag nanoparticle exhibited highest bactericidal efficiency against TBC where after 2 hours contact time, 0.1, 0.05 and 0.01 mg/L Ag nanoparticle was sufficient to inhibit (85.33 %, 71.93 % and 62.19 %) of TBC in fish farms water. Moreover, the results showed that the lowest mean of TCC was at 0.1 ppm of AgNP after 2 hrs. contact time (144.21 ± 99.94), where its antibacterial activity reached to 92.48 % and this percentage of TCC inhibition was higher than the other 2 concentrations at the same times (58.34 % for 0.05 ppm and 31.01 % for 0.01 ppm at 2 hrs.). Furthermore, the results showed that the lowest mean of TFS was the mean of 0.1 ppm of AgNP after 2 hrs. contact time (155.50 ± 60.86) followed by 0.1 ppm after 1 hr. contact time (212.46 ± 97.46). Moreover, the highest concentration (0.1 ppm) produced highest antibacterial activity against TFS and its efficiency reached to 90.48 % followed by 0.05 ppm, which resulted in 87.82 % inhibition of TFS after 2hrs.The mean value of 0.1 ppm at 1hr. nearly equal in their inhibition to 0.05 at 2hrs. , while the inhibition of 0.1 at 5 min. was higher than 0.01 at 2 hrs. contact time. Also, our results revealed that there were significant positive correlations between water pH, water hardness, chemical oxygen demand (COD) and TBC, TCC, TFS count, this means that when water pH, water hardness, COD increased there were increase in the bacterial count (decreased AgNP efficiency), while there were significant negative correlations between water temperature and TBC, TCC, TFS, this means that when the water temperature increased there was decrease in the bacterial count (increased AgNP efficiency) and vice versa. Silver nanoparticles proved good efficiency against Faecal bacterial indicators and TBC of water, so we recommend using the silver nanoparticles in the field of fish farms water treatment. To obtain a good efficiency of silver nanoparticles, the fish farms water must be treated to remove water hardness and organic matter before the applications of AgNP.

Dose related neurochemical and behavioral effects of a-methylphenidate dose in rats

Central Nervous System stimulants are known to increase dopamine (DA) transmission. DA is a key neurotransmitter in cognition and motor activities. In animals, administration of stimulant drugs leads to enhance psychomotor response and dopamine release. This study examines the relationship between brain DA and 5-hydroxytryptamine (5HT) levels which are responsible for motor activity and cognition in rats.The present study compared the motor activity by using familiar and novel environments and cognitive effects by water maze procedure after long-term administration of oral therapeutic doses i.e. 2 mg/kg/day, 5mg/kg/day and 8mg/kg/day of methylphenidate in rats. Brain levels of 5HT, 5HIAA, DA, DOPAC and HVA analyzed by HPLC-EC. We found that with use of aforementioned doses increased brain DA and 5-HT levels. Dihydroxyphenylacetic acid (DOPAC) concentration decreased, and the concentration of homovanillic acid (HVA) increased dose dependently but no change was observed in 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5-HIAA) concentration. Motor activity increased at higher dose (i.e.8mg/kg/day) as compared to the lower dose (i.e. 2mg/kg/day) of methylphenidate. Sensitization effects more pronounced after 20 days of drug administration were greater at smaller than higher doses. Smaller doses of drug (2mg/kg/day and 5mg/kg/day), but not higher doses (8mg/kg/day) improved performance in water maze.The behavioral effects of methylphenidate are explained in terms of DA and 5HT interaction involved in the control of motor activity and cognition.
