PROTECTIVE EFFECTS OF ROSMARINIC ACID ON Kim-1 AND HO-1 IN VANCOMYCIN INDUCED NEPHROTOXICITY IN WISTAR RATS

The aim of this study was to examine the influence of rosmarinic acid (RA) against vancomycin (VMC) induced renal toxicity in rats. Rats were divided into four groups (n=6 in each group) the first group was used as control, the second group was treated with VMC (200 mg/kg/b.w ip) for 7 days, third group was orally treated with RA (100 mg/kg/b.w/day) for 21 days and fourth group was treated with RA+VMC (RA was administered for 21 days; VMC was administered from15th day to 21st day). We examined whether RA is able to down-regulate Kim-1 and HO-1 expressions. The western blot analysis of Kim-1 and HO1performed in kidney tissues of control and experimental groups of rats. VMC induced group displayed a increased expression of Kim-1 and HOwhen compared to control group. RA treatment to VMC-induced group resulted in an decreased expressions of Kim-1 and HO-1. RA alone treated group exhibited a similar expression as seen in control group. The results of the present study have clearly indicated the supplemental role of RA, a phytophenolic compound, against the VMC-induced nephrotoxicity by decreasing the expressions of Kim-1 and HO-1 by maintaining the cellular integrity of kidney without any side effects.

A Survey on Classification of Types of Aphasia Using Artificial Neural Network

— Aphasia is a language related disability. Aphasia patient cannot make correct use of language. Its ambiguous symptoms, inaccurate test items and diagnostic complexities make it an error prone decision making task. Various types of Aphasia include Broca, Wernicke, Anomic, Global, Conduction etc. Various tests are developed to test and classify types of Aphasia like BDAE, WAB, AAT, and IAB. Indian Aphasia Battery (IAB) test is specially modelled for Hindi language. In our day to day life we need to assign a label to any object by observing its various known features. Many problems in business, medicine, science and industry can be considered as classification problems. Statistical classification procedures assume certain assumptions to be satisfied. Neural networks are self-adaptive and data driven methods which means that they can adjust themselves to the input data without any external specification for the model. They are considered as universal functional approximators which mean that they are able to approximate any function with arbitrary accuracy. This paper reviews various techniques for automatic classification of aphasia giving special stress on artificial neural networks.
A Comparison of Automated Refractions Using Plusoptix S04 Photoscreener, Nidek AR-20 Handheld Autorefractor and Nidek ARK-510A Auto Ref-Keratometer

Refraction is a clinical test used to determine the refractive state of the eye and to assess the individual’s need for visual aid. Although hretinoscopy is still considered the gold standard for determining the refractive state of the eye, it is subject to interobserver variability [1,2]. Over the past few decades, new advancements have introduced the auto refractors which have gained a popular routine use among ophthalmologists [3,4]. Auto refractors are easy to use, time saving and relatively accurate in measuring the amount and type of refractive error. Today, many auto refractors are available in the market (Canon, Nikon, Topcon, Carl Zeiss Meditec, Nidek etc.). A disadvantage of most auto refractors is they need to be mounted on a table due to their relatively large size. As such, ametropia measurements may therefore be difficult in bed ridden patients, disabled persons and very young or handicapped children. Handheld auto refractors or photo screener scans are useful in such scenarios.
Blue Man: Melaninophagia Secondary to Imatinib

Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors (GIST) is the most frequent sarcoma of the gastrointestinal tract. In metastatic disease or locally advanced (inoperable) imatinib is the standard therapy, even in situations where the patient has already received adjuvant treatment with the same drug and has not presented disease progression in that period. This case report exemplifies a rare adverse effect secondary to the use of imatinib. Most of the published reports describe a greater frequency of hypopigmentation of the skin, but the patient presented bluish hyperpigmentation of the oral mucosa and over extensive areas of the skin.
Control Strategy for an Isolated DFIG Based Micro-Grid with Integrated Super-Capacitors

This paper presents a novel control strategy for isolated 4-wires Micro Grid MG based on Wind Turbine WT driven Doubly Fed Induction Generator DFIG with an integrated Super-Capacitors SCs that act as energy storage. The proposed system comprises of variable speed DFIG, DC-link and Grid Side Power Conditioner GSPC. The GSPC is devoted for the MG voltage magnitude and frequency control, balancing the load seen by the DFIG and harmonics elimination. Mixed positive and negative sequence reference frames control strategy with selective harmonic compensators is adopted to control the GSPC and to achieve high quality power supply under unbalanced and nonlinear loading conditions. The Rotor Side Voltage Source Converter RS-VSC of the DFIG is controlled to track the maximum output power from the WT and to provide the nominal reactive power of the DFIG via the rotor circuit. Two DC/DC converters are used to regulate the energy supplied/absorbed by the SCs retaining the DC side voltages of the GSPC and the RSVSC to their nominal values. Modeling and simulation of the proposed control scheme are performed using Simulink and Power System Toolboxes, Matlab. The obtained results demonstrate excellent steady state and dynamic performance under various operating conditions.
On respectable pseudoscience of weak measurements and others

The paper which introduced such notions as “weak measurements” and “weak values” is shown to be wrong. The correct description of the considered Stern Gerlach experiment is given. Some experimental works based on are criticized. Some other respectable pseudo sciences are also mentioned. In between them are EPR and EPRB paradoxes, Quantum cryptography, teleportation, computers, and researches about Kochen-Specker theorem. A scientific censorship against critical papers is demonstrated. Some real problems of Quantum Mechanics (QM) are listed.
CD147 Participates in the Function of Angiogenic T Cells in Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis

Background and aims: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory and angiogenic disease. This study aims to explore the profiles of circulating angiogenic T cells (Tang cells) and the role of CD147 in Tang cell function in RA. Methods: Samples were obtained from RA patients and health controls (HC). Then, Tang cells were quantified by flow cytometry (FCM) in the samples through 87 RA patients and 29 matched HC. Purification of Tang cells was performed by magnetic cell sorting in cell culture conditioned media and the phosphorylation signals were determined by FCM. In addition, cytokine levels were assessed by ELISA test. Results: In RA group, the percentage of circulating Tang cells were intensely increased and positively correlated to endothelial progenitor cells (EPC). Further, the level of Tang cells was closely related to disease activity, autoantibody positivity and proangiogenic cytokines levels. Meanwhile, the expression of CD147 on Tang cells was increased in RA patients. And CD147 participates in the AKT phosphorylation and VEGF level of the activated Tang cells. Conclusions: It appears that CD147 do play a critical role in regulating VEGF production of Tang cells by affecting AKT signaling, which in turn may serve an essential function in angiogenesis and RA pathogenesis.
Radiographic, Histologic and Mechanical Comparison of NanoFUSE

Autologous bone has long been the gold standard for bone void fillers. However, the limited supply and morbidity associated with using autologous graft material has led to the development of many different bone graft substitutes. The use of bone graft extenders has become an essential component in a number of orthopedic applications including spinal fusion. This study compares the ability of NanoFUSE ® DBM and a bioactive glass product (NovaBone Putty ® ) to induce spinal fusion in a rabbit model. NanoFUSE ® DBM is a combination of allogeneic human bone and bioactive glass. NanoFUSE ® DBM alone, and in combination with autograft, and NovaBone Putty ® , were implanted in the posterior lateral intertransverse process region of the rabbit spine. The spines were evaluated for fusion at 4, 8, 12, and 24 weeks for fusion of the L4-L5 transverse processes using a total of 64 skeletally mature rabbits. Samples were evaluated by manual palpation, radiographically, histologically, and by mechanical testing. Radiographical, histological, and palpation measurements demonstrated the ability of NanoFUSE ® DBM to induce new bone formation. The material in combination with autograft performed as well as autograft alone with respect to new bone formation and bridging bone at all time points with the exception of four week radiographic analyses. In addition, the combination of allogeneic human bone and bioactive glass found in NanoFUSE ® DBM was observed to be superior to the bioactive glass product NovaBone Putty ® in this rabbit model of spinal fusion. This in vivo study demonstrates the DBM and bioactive glass combination, NanoFUSE ® DBM, could be an effective bone graft extender in posterolateral spinal fusions.

In vitro Melatonin Supplementation against Genetic toxicity By Arsenic and Fluoride

The present study was conducted to elucidate protective effect of melatonin on arsenic and fluoride induced genotoxicity, in human blood cultures. It contained three major groups namely controls group, pro-oxidants group and anti-oxidants group with 24 hr exposure. Controls group included untreated control, positive control (Ethyl methane sulphonate, 1.93mM) and melatonin control (0.2mM). Prooxidants group contained cultures exposed to arsenic (1.4μM) and fluoride (34μM), alone and in combination. Antioxidants group consisted above mentioned prooxidants along with melatonin to assess the ameliorative action. Genetic damage indices studied were chromosomal aberrations (both structural and numerical), micronuclei with Cytokinesis-Block-Proliferative-Index and primary DNA damage elucidated through comet assay. A comparison of all the groups with untreated control and prooxidants group with respective anti-oxidants group evaluated the effect of melatonin. Melatonin led to significant decrease in the genotoxic indices induced by in vitro exposure of arsenic and fluoride, resulting in more than 50 percent amelioration. Results from the present study would set up a base to design further in vivo studies for searching an antidote to fight against these water contaminants.

Significance of Skill Reinforcement in Undergraduate Teaching: A Medical College Experience

Background: In pathology, peripheral blood smear (PBS) interpretation is one of the essential hematological investigations and so is the skill of smear preparation. Among students, this skill seemed to decline with time. Although as syllabus mandatory they had learned to do smear preparation in first year Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS), in second year pathology practical assessments their performance for the same was found ineffective. Therefore, the study was taken up to know if there would be skill improvement of their previously acquired ability when reinforced. Aim: The study was taken up to assess if there was skill improvement after a lecture-demonstration sessions using objective structured practical examination (OSPE) as an assessment tool. Materials and Methods: A total of 36 randomly selected second year MBBS students from the Department of Pathology, Mandya Institute of Medical Sciences consented to be study participants. A pre-study assessment followed by post-lecture and post-demonstration sessions in gaps of each week was conducted and assessed, respectively. OSPE was the assessment method for a total score of 10 at each time. Statistical analysis for mean, standard deviation, and inferential statistics t-test was performed using EpiData software. Feedback from the students and faculty was taken. Results: A considerable improvement between prestudy with postlecture and prestudy with postdemonstration was noted with P = 0.001. Furthermore, postlecture with post-demonstration analysis showed improvement with P = 0.002. Conclusion: Lecture-demonstration of PBS preparation reinforced previously acquired knowledge of this essential skill required for a competent undergraduate student.

A.H. MARU, H. KAMBLE, A. KALARIKKAL, R. SHAH, P. B. BHANUSE, N. PRADHAN . Department of Physics, Ramnarain Ruia College, Mumbai, Maharashtra, India School of Mathematical Sciences, University of Nottingham, Nottingham, United Kingdom Corresponding Author: nana.pradhan@gmail.com _____________________________________________________________________________________ Abstract Mg doped ZnO dilute magnetic semiconductors prepared by chemical method for various doses from 1% to 5%. ZnO and Mg doped ZnO samples were characterized using XRD, SEM and SQUID techniques to study the structural, morphological and magnetic properties respectively. The XRD data of ZnO sample showed the peaks at 31.42, 34.16, 36, 47.46, 56.38, 62.66, 67.76 and 76.94 corresponding to the lattice planes (100), (002), (101), (102), (110), (103), (112) and (202) respectively. The intensity of these peaks was found to be reducing with doping percentage. FWHM of samples varies with the doping percentage. SQUID technique showed ferromagnetic behaviors of all doped samples. The Curie temperature for doped samples showed ferromagnetism above room temperature. SEM technique showed the nano rods in the samples and size of nanorods were found to be in the range of 20-50 nm. As the doping is increased, agglomeration in ZnO takes place which changes its shape of nanorods.
The Altered Metabolic Homeostasis in Middle

Homeostasis refers to the body’s ability to physiologically regulate its inner milieu and ensure its stability in response to fluctuations in the outside environment. There is a close relationship between homeostasis and metabolism. An optimal metabolic efficiency is maintained by the negative feedback loops by which homeostasis operates, and in event of any disruption in homeostasis, metabolism will be negatively affected. The inability to maintain homeostasis leads homeostatic imbalance, resulting in various disorders and disease states including diabetes.
A Survey on versions of TCP over WiMAX

WiMAX technology is presently one of the most promising global telecommunication systems. Great hopes and important investments have been made for WiMAX, which is a Broadband Wireless Access System having many applications: fixed or last-mile wireless access, backhauling, mobile cellular network, telemetering, etc. WiMAX is based on the IEEE 802.16 standard, having a rich set of features. This standard defines the Medium Access Layer and the Physical Layer of a fixed and mobile Broadband Wireless Access System. WiMAX to provide high-speed access to the Internet where the transmission control protocol (TCP) is the core transport protocol. Unlike routing, where packets are relayed hop-by-hop toward their destination, TCP actually provides reliable end to-end transmission of transport-level segments from source to receiver. As TCP was designed for wired networks it considers that all packet loss in the network is due to congestion. Wireless medium is more exposed to transmission errors and sudden topological changes. This paper presents a thorough overview of some of the versions of TCP along with their strengths and weaknesses. A comparative study of the QoS parameters and routing protocols is done and in addition, the current issues and future challenges that are involved in this exciting area of research are also included
