Generation of Vascular Networks from Adipocytes In Vitro

Multipotent cells derived from white mature adipocytes, referred to as dedifferentiated fat (DFAT) cells have the capacity differentiate into endothelial cells. The objective of this study was to modify the isolation method for DFAT cells in order to optimize the endothelial lineage potential. The adipocytes were preincubated for 24 hours, washed, and then incubated for 5 days to allow the generated DFAT cells to remain in proximity to the adipocytes while the cells aggregated into cell clusters. The DFAT cells rapidly differentiated into adipocytes after which endothelial-like cells (ECs) emerged and formed tube-like structure closely associated with the newly differentiated adipocytes. The lipid-filled cells then gradually disappeared whereas the network of tube structure expanded over the course of 3 weeks. ECs accounted for 35-45% of the cells derived from the DFAT cells, as assessed by qPCR, immunofluorescence and fluorescence-activated cell sorting. The DFAT cell-derived ECs could also be further enriched by magnetic sorting, thereby serving as a mouse cell line for further research.
Effect of Feeding Moringa oleifera Leaf Meal on Production Efficiency and Carcass Characteristics of Vanaraja Chicken in Tropics

Poultry farming can play a major role to mitigate the challenges of nutritional security, poverty alleviation, women empowerment, employment generation, improvement in living standard of farmers etc. The acute shortage of animal protein supply in developing countries justifies such research into the potentials of some locally cultivated feed resources as leaf meals which could be included into the poultry ration in order to sustain the enterprises and to improve the profit margin of farmers through reducing the use of the conventional protein sources (Atawodi et al., 2008). Moringa oleifera leaf meal (MOLM) could be used as alternative feed resource in poultry ration in the tropics (Agbede, 2003). Moringa plant named as miracle tree has been reported to have many medicinal properties such as hypocholesterolemic properties, rich in essential amino acids, vitamins, antioxidant activity (Moyo et al., 2012; Daba, 2016). Now a days people are more aware about the quality products and protein source is one of the essential components of diet which affect the overall International Journal of Current Microbiology and Applied Sciences ISSN: 2319-7706 Special Issue-7 pp. 1213-1220 Journal homepage: http://www.ijcmas. com
From CAD Regressing to RHD: The Evolution of Clinical Profile, Echocardiographic Profile, Pattern of Management and Outcome of Patients with Acute Cardioembolic Stroke Seen in at the Philippine General Hospital (Tertiary Hospital)

Introduction: One of 5 ischemic strokes is cardioembolic in nature. Despite the robust data on cardioembolic stroke (CES) in western literature, there is scarcity of local data on Asians. Higher prevalence of rheumatic heart disease (RHD) in developing countries and the growing availability of NOACs may contribute to an evolving patient profile. This study aims to define the clinical, echocardiographic profile, patterns of management and in hospital acute outcomes of Filipino patients with CES. Methods: A 2-year retrospective study of patients with CES admitted at UP-PGH. Data were obtained through review of records using a standardized data collection form. A total of 126 patients were enrolled. Mean age was 59.9 years. Majority (88%) had a CHADSVASC Score of > 2. Atrial fibrillation remains the most common rhythm abnormality (67%) and 20% has RHD (mitral stenosis). On echo, 92% had LVH and 58% had left atrial enlargement. Interestingly, only 5% had thrombus and merely 8% had rheologic stasis. Majority had moderate-large artery territory infarctions with 40% hemorrhagic conversion within 4 days. Two of 3 patients were given initial anticoagulation. Only half of those who survived were discharged on oral anticoagulation. Only 10% of patients were given NOACs. Mean HASBLED score was 1.9 ± 0.96. Bleeding complications was 6%. CES were associated with longer hospital stay (16 days) and development of nosocomial pneumonia (46%). Discussion: To our knowledge as of this writing this is the largest Filipino cohort with CES reported in local literature. The profile of Filipino CES patients was similar to the previous international studies in terms of the patients’ age, neuroimaging findings, rate of hemorrhagic conversion, and low anticoagulation rate. Contrary to western data, what is interesting is that Filipino CES patients are younger, with majority of them having RHD in contrast to degenerative causes in the western world. Prompt and adequate management of RHD is important to prevent CES.
EFFECT OF MARKET INFRASTRUCTURE FACTORS ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF NAIROBI SECURITIES EXCHANGE

This study aimed to find out the effect of selected factors on the development of the Nairobi Securities Exchange. The general objective of this study was to determine the effect of selected factors on the development of the NSE. The objective was to determine the of market infrastructure factors on the development of Nairobi securities exchange Both primary and secondary data collection methods were used. A structured data collection questionnaire was used to collect data on market infrastructure factors. The population of study was the Nairobi Securities Exchange. Secondary data was collected on market capitalization from 2006 to 2015 which was used as the indicator of NSE development. This study used a descriptive research design to describe the empirical data. A regression model was used for data analysis and hypothesis tested with a 0.05 significance level. The results confirm that Nairobi securities Exchange development is positively correlated to market information, market efficiency, market openness, market transparency, transaction processing system and transaction/operating cost and legal and regulatory framework. Given the effect of the predictor variables on NSE development, the government should improve the market infrastructure which is the center on which financial market revolves. This can be done through initiation of policies that foster growth and development as countries liberalize their financial systems and further enhance domestic resource mobilization, public education awareness programmes, elimination of excessive barriers to the market and putting in place tax regimes and incentives geared towards stimulating companies to be listed in the stock market. Public education awareness programme. This study is of great importance to researchers and academics, government policymakers, regulators and investors and the results should lead to the creation of an enabling environment, development of good regulatory framework and thus faster development of the securities market.
Impact of Nursing Teaching Protocol on reduction of Complications for Patient with Permanent Artificial Pacemaker:

A cardiac pacemaker is an electronic device that delivers direct stimulation to the heart, the purpose of the pacemaker is to initiate and maintain the heart rate when the heart's natural pacemaker is unable to do so. The aim of this study is three-fold; the first is to determine the educational needs of patients with permanent artificial pacemaker, the second is to design a nursing teaching protocol and the last is to evaluate the impact of the nursing teaching protocol on patient's reduction of pacemaker's complications among a study group as compared to control group. Quasi-experimental research design was utilized to fulfill the aim of this study. The sample comprised 60 male and female adult patients having permanent artificial pacemaker (30 patients for each study and control groups) four tools were utilized for data collection; socio-demographic and medical data sheet, pre-post test questionnaire sheet, observational checklist for radial pulse measurement, and complication assessment sheet. Structured interview and direct observation techniques were utilized for data collection. The mean knowledge scores of both study group was significantly increased post protocol application. Related to patient's ability to count their own pulses improved through it doesn't reach the level of statistical significance. About one third of the control group subjects (30%) developed pacemaker complications as compared to one subject (3.3%) in study group. Establishment of an in-service training center and a hot line contact in additions provision of pamphlets and simple booklet are recommended.

Study of Bleeding and Coagulation Profile in Patients of Pulmonary Tuberculosis in a Tertiary Care Hospital in Chhattisgarh

Introduction: Pulmonary Tuberculosis is an infection caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis and is one of the oldest diseases known to affect humans and a major cause of death worldwide. In 90% of cases, cough develops often initially non productive and subsequently accompanied by the production of purulent sputum,sometimes with blood streaking. Hemoptysis develops in 20–30% of cases but massive hemoptysis may ensue later.Hematological alterations and changes in coagulation profile as hypoprothrombinemia, thrombocytopenia was observed in Pulmonary Tuberculosis which results in hemoptysis. Aims and objectives were to estimate Bleeding Time, Clotting Time, Platelet Count, Prothombin Time and Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time and to correlate the coagulation profile with hepatic functions in patients of Pulmonary Tuberculosis. Material and Methods: Fifty patients of Pulmonary Tuberculosis admitted in Pt J. N.M. Medical College Hospital, Raipur (C.G.) of both the sexes with different ages who were diagnosed by history, clinical examination, radiographic picture and AFB positive sputum were selected for study.Ten healthy individuals were taken as control group.These patients were subjected to undergo blood coagulation profile including BT,CT,PT, Platelet count, aPTT and LFT. Results: Out of 50 cases of Pulmonary Tuberculosis, hemoptysis was seen in14(28%), BT of all patients varied between 1 to 4-3 minutes i.e. within normal ranges. Range of CT varied between 4.15 to 8.45 minutes which was within normal variation. Platelet Count too was observed within normal range i.e. 1.1 to 2.14 lacs/cumm in the study.The mean value of PT is17.96sec± 3.10 sec. The PT more than 16 sec was observed in 60% of patients and mean value of PT in control group was 12.40sec ±0.66sec. The aPTT was between 20 sec to 66sec while in control group the mean value was 29.20 sec ±2.02 sec. APTT more than 40 sec was observed in 42% of patients. Conclusion: There were no changes in BT, CT and Platelet count of the patients of Pulmonary tuberculosis. PT and APTT in patients of pulmonary tuberculosis were prolonged i.e.statistically significant but not the extent to cause the bleeding. Haemoptysis neither have relationship with chronicity,severity of disease nor with prolonged PT and APTT.
The Impact of Context in Understanding the Relationship between Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and Psychotic Features in Survivors of Torture

The purpose of this paper is to argue that the sociopolitical context in which a survivor of torture shapes his or her worldview prior to the persecution and torture can have a major influence on the symptomatology expressed afterwards and in particular, the expression of post-traumatic stress disorder with psychotic features. It is argued that becoming aware of the characteristics of the context which foster these post-traumatic reactions is crucial in understanding the pathways through which this comorbidity develops with greater intensity in survivors of torture and in shaping our interventions in ways that they take into consideration the impact of prior context. Some of the factors which are also considered important in this aetiology are premorbid personality factors and stressors that the survivors face during the immigration process. An integrative model of the possible factors shaping psychotic manifestations of traumatic stress is proposed which can be used in clinical practice for the accurate assessment of complex symptomatology in survivors of torture.
Evaluation of Antibacterial and Antioxidant Activity of Garcinia gummigutta

Antibiotic resistance in microbes is a great problem in the modern world. Everyday new drugs are being used to overcome this problem. The aim of this study was to examine Antibacterial and Antioxidant properties of the Garcinia gummi-gutta. The dried fruits of G. gummi-gutta are used in Kerala, a southern state of India for preparation of curries. The extract of dried fruit of G. gummi-gutta, was prepared by using three different solvents such as acetone, ethanol and distilled water. These prepared extracts were used for evaluation of the antibacterial property against two gram negative bacterial strains Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and two gram positive bacterial strains Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus. The Antibacterial property was evaluated by Disc diffusion assay and the results of the test were compared with Chloramphenicol (30 mcg) as positive control. P. aeruginosa was sensitive to all the extracts of G. gummi-gutta tested. Whereas the other organisms showed good to moderate activity. In this study, the Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) for the G. gummi-gutta extract was also determined. The Antioxidant property of G. gummi-gutta was evaluated by Ferric chloride reducing power assay and compared with Ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) solution. The results indicated that G. gummi-gutta extract had more antioxidant property than Ascorbic acid solution.
EFFECT OF GRANISETRON ON EXPERIMENTAL MODEL OF DIABETES INDUCED NEUROPATHIC PAIN PERCEPTION IN RATS

The aim of present study was to study the effect of chronic treatment of (6 weeks) of Granisetron (1mg/ml & 10mg/ml) an adenosine agonist on blood glucose level and in prevention of diabetic neuropathy. Evaluation of diabetic neuropathy was performed after 6weeks of single injection of Streptozotocin (70mg/kg, i.v) in rats. Blood glucose level, glycated haemoglobin, grip strength, pain sensitivity and threshold in diabetic rats were measured at the end of 6th week. The results of the present study indicate that the 6 weeks treatment of Granisetron demonstrates hypoglycemic effect; it markedly decreases the blood glucose level in the diabetic rats. There is also decrease in grip strength in diabetic rats indicates to induction of neuropathy or nerve damage. Granisetron increase the grip strength of diabetic rats. There was also found loss of pain perception in diabetes rats which measured using hot plate and tail flick method. Granisetron increases the licking time and withdrawal latency in hot plate and tail flick respectively in a dose dependent manner. This indicates the presence of pain perception and prevention of nerve damage demonstrates its protective effect in diabetic neuropathy. Our study concludes the chronic treatment of Granietron significantly protects from the development of diabetic neuropathy.
Study of Fish Consumption Patterns in Assam for Development of Market Driven Strategies

The study was carried out in six districts of Assam to find out the taste and preferences of the consumers of fish, their buying behavior and their willingness to pay for different value added fish and fish products. A total of 660 respondents, covering both rural (330) and urban (330), have been selected following quota and judgment sampling. The study revealed that the per capita consumption of fish in the study area was 14.27 kg. The annual per capita consumption of fish in rural area was 14.54 kg and in the urban area 13.99 kg. Majority of the non-vegetarian consumers (60.3%) in the study area had the highest preference for fish followed by chicken, and mutton. The study clearly indicates that fish consumption increases with increase of family income. The average monthly expenditure on fish over total expenditure of food items varies from 11.63% to 23.12% among different income groups. Majority of consumers (53.7%) had consumed fish twice a week, 25.2% daily and 13% once a week. The average quantity of fish purchased at a time by majority of consumers (48.3%) was 500g. Among different factors influencing fish consumption, palatable taste of the fish was the first reason followed by high nutritive value, easy digestibility, less fat content and easy availability of fish in comparison to meat at affordable price. Based on the findings of the study some strategies for improvement of fish production and marketing scenario in Assam such as production of consumer preferred fish with preferred size and form; good network for handling, transporting, distributing, displaying, and holding facilities to support marketing of fish in live and fresh etc have been developed.
MOLECULAR CHARACTERIZATION OF FLIC GENE BY SEMI NESTED PCR FOR THE DETECTION OF SALMONELLA ENTERICA SEROVAR TYPHI IN THE PERIPHERAL BLOOD OF PATIENTS FROM CHENNAI, INDIA

Typhoid fever caused by Salmonella enterica serovar typhi (S. enterica serovar typhi) is one of the important public health problems in many developing countries. Conventional blood culture is currently the gold standard for diagnosis of typhoid fever by this bacterium, but it is time-consuming requiring several days for isolation of bacterium resulting in delay to initiate proper antibiotic therapy and often they are not cultivable. Early diagnosis of the disease is required since 2 to 5% of all deaths in India are due to typhoid fever. Semi-nested polymerase chain reaction (Sn-PCR) specific for the S. enterica serovar typhi targeting flagellinC (fliC) gene was standardized and applied onto 100 blood specimens. Sn-PCR was specific to S. enterica serovar typhi and sensitivity is 10fg/10µl of peripheral blood DNA. Positivity rate was 62% in culture negative specimens and 100% in culture positives (p=0.001). Sn-PCR was highly reproducible and could detect S. enterica serovar typhi in less than 12-24 hours after the receipt of the specimen in the laboratory and thus helping in rapid initiation of antibiotic treatment.
Evaluation of Antibacterial Activities of Some Egyptian Medicinal Plant Extracts

The antibacterial activity of hexane, ethanol and aqueous extracts of each of 5 different medicinal plants namely; galangal, cabbage, eucalyptus, elecampane and basil were assayed against the growth of seven pathogenic bacteria representing two Gram-positive bacteria and five Gram-negative bacteria by disc diffusion method. The results revealed that basil hexane extract had broad-spectrum activity against all tested bacteria followed by galangal, eucalyptus, elecampane, and cabbage. Both basil ethanol extract and eucalyptus aqueous extracts had prominent broad-spectrum activity against all tested bacteria among other plant extracts. Galangal, eucalyptus, elecampane and basil hexane extracts and galangal, cabbage, elecampane and basil ethanol extracts beside galangal and eucalyptus aqueous extracts were chosen to undergo the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) determination and qualitative phytochemical screening. Both basil hexane extract and ethanol extract, compared to the other extracts, exhibited the best antibacterial activity and lowest MIC in concentration. Hence, they were chosen as the most potent antibacterial extracts for determining their chemical components using GC/MS analysis.
The Effect of Demographic Factors on Occupational Stress: A Study of Insurance Sector

The purpose of the study is to identify the difference in the perceptions of insurance employees according to their demographic profile such as age, income, length of service and hierarchical level. Structured schedules were used to gather data from 374 employees working in 19 companies of life insurance sector of Jalandhar city of Punjab (India) based on census method. The effect of demographic factors, viz., age, income, length of service and hierarchical level on various dimensions of occupational stressors and health effects of stress was examined through ANOVA. Out of 374 insurance employees of all grades included in this study, 300 were male and 53% were below the age of 29 years. The respondents belonging to the age group of above 29 years experienced more stress than other age groups and the respondents who earned monthly income above 50,000 experienced more stress compared to others. Further, the respondents with more than 5 years length of service and higher hierarchical level predicted high level of stress as compared to other groups. The study also highlights the practical implications based on the results.
CHARACTERISTICS, STABILITY AND OUTCOMES OF THE GOLD 2011 COPD GROUPS IN THE ECLIPSE COHORT

The 2011 Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) classifies patients with COPD into four groups (A to D). We explored the characteristics, stability and relationship to outcomes of these groups within the ECLIPSE study (n=2101). Main results showed that: (1) these groups differed in several clinical, functional, imaging and biological characteristics in addition to those used for their own definition; (2) A and D groups were relatively stable over time, whereas groups B and C showed more temporal variability; (3) the risk of exacerbation over 3 years increased progressively from A to D, whereas that of hospitalization and mortality were lowest in A, highest in D and intermediate and similar in B and C, despite the former having milder airflow limitation. The prevalence of comorbidities and persistent systemic inflammation were highest in group B. The different longitudinal behaviour of group A vs. B and C vs. D (each pair with similar FEV1 values) supports the GOLD 2011 proposal of assessing COPD patients by more than FEV1 only. However the assumption that symptoms does not equate to risk appears to be naïve, as groups B and C carry equally poor clinical outcomes, though for different reasons.
