Hair transplantation using long hair follicular unit excision technique in scarring alopecia of eyebrow: A case report
Authors: Chauhan Kavish , Tandon Megha , Kumar Amrendra
Published: March 2023

Hair transplantation remains a safe treatment option for patients who either desire to make the eyebrows appear fuller or the need to restore facial aesthetics in cases with scarring, as eyebrows constitute a prominent feature of the face. The increased aversion to undergoing head shaving due to occupational, social, and/or personal reasons in many patients, has led to the increased demand of non-shaven/long hair follicular unit excision (NSFUE) technique. With the advent of this technique, surgery is unnoticeable and a preview of upcoming results is achieved immediately after the procedure. With only a handful cases reported in world literature, we report the successful outcome of eyebrow transplantation using the NS-FUE technique in a 25-year-old female with post-traumatic scarring alopecia of eyebrow.

Published: March 2023

Severe crushing injury of the lower limb presenting as a concomitant femoral subtrochanteric fracture, ipsilateral open knee dislocation, and associated popliteal artery injury is unusual. Due to poor general and local conditions, despite a vascular repair, we performed a femoral fracture fixation followed by transfemoral amputation of the lower limb. The report aimed to demonstrate the effectiveness of this definitive treatment as one of the options in these difficult cases. The knee dislocation reduction was performed in the emergency operating room and the lower limb was stabilized with an external fixator. Vascular surgeons performed revascularization of the extremity with a femoropopliteal vascular bypass. Leg fasciotomies were performed and broad-spectrum antibiotics were administered. Several attempts at fasciotomy revisions and necrotic tissue debridement were made by plastic surgeons. Ten days after hospitalization, concomitant local rhabdomyolysis and deep soft-tissue infection lead to life-threatening sepsis. An above-the-knee amputation was quickly required. We performed an emergency proximal nailing of the femoral fracture and, subsequently, a transfemoral amputation at the distal third. In this case, we described the successful use of intramedullary nailing as a good option for stabilizing acute subtrochanteric fracture of a limb that required an above-the-knee amputation. This strategy saved the patient’s life, and intramedullary fixation with a short nail provided reliable bone stability for rapid and better functional recovery.

Authors: Choudhary Pradeep , Saxena Medhavi , Chouhan Jayesh , Bharwani Nandlal , Bhati Mahesh
Published: March 2023

Calcaneum tuberculosis (TB) is a rare entity, though it is the commonly involved tarsal bone. It does not present with the typical features of TB and can be confused with other pathologies affecting the heel. Very few case reports and case series studies are present to date for describing this rare entity. We report a 23-year-old female who presented to the orthopedic outpatient clinic with pain and swelling around the left heel and posterior aspect of the ankle for 3 months. Her radiograph showed a lytic lesion in the posterosuperior aspect of the calcaneum. Therefore, magnetic resonance imaging was done, which showed a lesion around the posterior-superior aspect of the calcaneum with the involvement of retrocalcaneal bursa. An incisional biopsy was performed, followed by en bloc excision of the lesion. The histopathological examination report suggested granuloma formation with caseous necrosis and the cartridge-based nucleic acid amplification test was also positive for mycobacterial TB infection. Proper clinical history, radiological examination, and biopsy are of utmost importance in these rare entities as they help in making the definitive diagnosis. Anti-Koch treatment is an effective treatment for TB, and the patient improved within 2 months of treatment both clinically (pain, swelling, and activity of daily routine) and radiologically (for bone formation and no recurrence). This report aimed to present a lytic lesion of the calcaneum that turned out to be TB and its management. The follow-up was 18 months post-surgery and showed no signs and symptoms of recurrence.

Tacca chantrieri is a useful medicinal plant native to lowland tropical forests in northern Vietnam. However, it is threatened with extinction owing to habitat fragmentation and overexploitation. Genetic diversity in 5 natural populations of T. chantrieri was examined using 20 ISSR primers polymorphism. Our study showed that average PIC was 0.253 (0.018 - 0.460) and average PPB was 62.49 % (40- 85.71). 5 populations had modest genetic variability (Na = 1.384, Ne = 1.32, Ho = 0.182, He = 0.178 and I = 0.258) and the species level had a low value (Na = 1.892, Ne = 1.744, Ho = 0.293, He = 0.389 and I = 0.549). The lowest levels of genetic diversity were detected in Cuc Phuong population (Na = 1.135, Ne = 1.021, Ho = 0.091, He = 0.078 and I = 0.116) and the highest levels were detected in Ba Vi population (Na = 1.555, Ne = 1.436, Ho = 0.247, He = 0.242 and I = 0.350). A substantial positive connection between genetic distance and geographic distance was discovered using the Mantel test (R2 = 0.5086). The implications of the results of this study to conserve the genetic resources of T. chantrieri were discussed.
Comparative study of total reducing and total antioxidant capacity of Escherichia coli on different media composition obtained by response surface methodology

Published: March 2023

Anti-oxidants are compounds that act against oxidative stress, prevent DNA damage and lipid peroxidation which are usually the major causes of aging and many diseases including cancer, cardio vascular disorders etc. There are many anti-oxidant assays which are used to measure anti-oxidant potential but total anti-oxidant capacity (TAC) and total reductive capability (TRC) are more preferred because of ease to use, good reproducibility and accuracy. Media components were optimized through response surface methodology (RSM) and sixteen different media compositions were obtained at primary level. These media compositions were used for TAC and TRC antioxidant assays. The highest reducing power activity was observed in the form of absorbance in media number 4 (0.0275 for 10 min) in wet biomass and for media number 6 (0.0244 for 10 min) in dry biomass. After 30 min, highest reducing power was reported in media number 5 (0.0286) in wet biomass and for dry biomass it was in media number 6 (0.0230). Total anti-oxidant capacity showed the higher percentage inhibition of microbial growth for wet biomass in media number 4 and media number 13 and for dry biomass, the highest percentage inhibition was in media number 5. Therefore, it was observed that media have same nutrients but different compositions which directly affect the level of TAC and TRC. Hence it is an important parameter that before experiments, media components must be optimized by RSM.

Published: March 2023

Atherosclerosis in human arteries affects the blood flow behaviour in different ways and sometimes leads to fatal diseases. This study is focused on the impact of the elasticity of human arteries and the geometry of stenosis on non-Newtonian blood flow across the constricted arteries. The mathematical analysis is carried out using MatLab software. The elastic nature of human arteries and the non-Newtonian nature of blood are described under the power-law, Herschel-Bulkley and Casson model. The numerical derivations for blood flow velocity, volume flow rate and wall shear stress are derived for all three types of the model under consideration and results are also depicted graphically. The influence of elasticity, flow index, yield stress and geometry of stenosis on the blood flow is examined. Power-law model gives higher velocity as compared to Herschel-Bulkley model for the fixed magnitude of flow index 𝑛. It is observed that in the constricted region, the volume flow rate amplifies with the increasing value of stenosis shape parameter 𝑚 for the fixed magnitude of flow index 𝑛. The height of stenosis has a diminishing effect on the flow rate. A comparative analysis of the outcomes of the present study and that of the other published work is carried out for authentication.
Arbutin aids in the recovery of dyskinesia in Alzheimer's zebrafish by decreasing the function of acetylcholinesterase
Authors: Uvarajan Deenathayalan , Durairaj Brindha
Published: March 2023

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by oxidative stress, neuroinflammation and decreased levels of neurotransmitters (acetylcholine). AD is a complex pathogenesis disease; currently, no efficient drugs are available to treat Alzheimer’s disease. Several AD drug targets have been identified for the last two decades including acetylcholinesterase (AchE), beta-secretase, gamma-secretase and monoamine oxidase. Most of the FDA-approved drugs are acetylcholinesterase inhibitors. Hence acetylcholinesterase is an important drug target for AD. Arbutin is the active glycosylated hydroquinone with acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitory property isolated from the Arctostaphylos uvaursi. Our current aim is to explore arbutin's anti- Alzheimer’s potential. In this study, molecular docking simulations were done with various AD targets to assess the anti-Alzheimer’s possibilities of arbutin. Furthermore, the zebrafish AD model was established with the help of aluminium chloride (AlCl3). Anti- Alzheimer’s efficiency and dyskinesia potentials of arbutin were assessed with the arbutin-treated zebrafish compared with the positive control drug Rivastigmine. Results of molecular docking simulations exhibited that arbutin plays a crucial role in Alzheimer’s disease progression. Arbutin significantly increased the dyskinesia recovery in the AD zebrafish model and it can be developed into an AD drug by inhibiting the acetylcholinesterase and other AD targets.
In Vitro anti-diabetic and antioxidant potential of endophytic fungi isolated from Bryophyllum pinnatum L.

Published: March 2023

Diabetes is a chronic metabolic disease and one of the leading causes of death compared to all health issues. Diabetes drugs can be used to regulate the activity of metabolic enzymes including amylase in diabetic patients. Endophytes are a group of microorganisms that reside in the internal tissue of all higher plants without causing any of the symptoms they live in. Endophytic fungi isolated from plants can serve as a reservoir of secondary metabolites since they can prevent diabetes through alpha-amylase activity. Current research has isolated endophytic fungi from the leaves of Bryophyllum pinnatum and extracts of dichloromethane (DCM), ethyl acetate (EA), butanol (BuOH) and methanol (MeOH) were carried out to study antioxidant and antidiabetic activities. Twenty-two (BPL1-BPL22) endophytic fungi were isolated from the leaves and their phytochemical presence was examined. Based on the presence of phytoconstituents, 11 endophytic fungi were chosen to analyze their radical scavenging and antidiabetic activities. In a radical scavenging assay, the fungal crude extracts showed a dose-dependent activity. The fungal crude extracts were determined for their antidiabetic potential via alpha-amylase and glucose uptake by yeast cell studies. The maximum alpha inhibitory activity was shown by DCM, EA and MeOH extracts of BPL20 isolate of about 52.03±0.31, 52.72±0.81 and 57.67±0.66 respectively. The glucose uptake by yeast cells by fungal crude extracts was evaluated and MeOH extracts of BPL20 showed 54.27±0.19% of glucose uptake at 500 μg/ml concentration. The results revealed the hypoglycemic activity of fungal crude extracts.

Published: March 2023

Current study investigates transesterification and regulation of lipid metabolism activity of minor millet malt using Bombyx mori as model organism. Minor millet malt extracts were examined for transesterification reaction on sunflower oil through gas chromatographic analysis. In-vivo lipid regulation was investigated on silkworm larvae and in-vitro biochemical assays were carried out to evaluate lipid levels using spectophotometric techniques. Little millet treated oil showed decreased retention time with 1.69 min and highest retention time was observed in oil treated with kodo millet and foxtail millet with 1.96 min. In the current study, silk worm larvae were fed with mulberry leaves dipped with millet malt extract in order to examine their morphological, body weight and biochemical changes. Silk worm larvae fed with little millet showed overall best results exhibiting lesser increase in the body weight gain by 0.9±0.16gms during the course of treatment. Biochemical examination of little millet treated silkworm larvae showed significantly lower triglyceride levels (24.67±2.3mg/dl), VLDL (4.93±0.4mg/dl) and glucose (74.67mg/dl). Therefore, minor millet malt extracts can be potential agents for further exploration of its lipolytic properties in mammals in order to understand the mechanism of lipid regulating activity by minor millets.

Authors: Preetha Devi N.B. , Uma A.N.
Published: March 2023

Following the world's largest nuclear accident at Fukushima in 2011, a lot of research has been conducted to try to minimize the potential health effects of radiation exposure. One way to do this is to use natural antioxidants to protect against oxidative DNA damage. We studied the effects of an Phyllanthus emblica fruit crude extract MoS2 NPs against bleomycin-induced cytotoxicity in human lymphocytes to see if it increases the overall chemoprotective mechanism. We analyzed the frequency of micronuclei (MN) and DNA damage after treatment with different concentrations of bleomycin. We observed a significant increase in cell viability in lymphocytes treated with Phyllanthus emblica fruit crude extract MoS2 NPs and then exposed to bleomycin induced cytotoxic cells. When lymphocytes were pretreated with Phyllanthus emblica fruit crude extract MoS2 NPs (80 and 100 μg/mL), the frequency of micronuclei was decreased at all doses of bleomycin and DNA damage was decreased at 20 μg/mL of bleomycin induced cytotoxicity human lymphocytes. These results suggest that Phyllanthus emblica fruit crude extract MoS2 NPs may have chemoprotective effects by performing CBMN assay.
Bacteriocins as promising alternatives to conventional antimicrobial agents
Authors: Joshi Khyati , Kumar Pravir , Kataria Rashmi
Published: March 2023

Bacteriocins are bacterially synthesized ribosomal antimicrobial peptides which hinder the growth of closely related or unrelated bacterial species. They are often compared to antibiotics due to their significant bactericidal properties. Reports suggest that almost all bacteria synthesize bacteriocins as a part of their innate immunity. Bacteriocin production is dependent on a number of process variables such as aeration, pH, temperature and the type of carbon and nitrogen source used. Bacteriocin applications are primarily focused on food preservation. However, resistance to conventional antimicrobial agents offers novel prospects for bacteriocin applications. Several recent studies have purified bacteriocins for food preservation, infection control, cancer therapy, peptic ulcers etc. This study summarises the classification of bacteriocins, their mechanism of action, factors affecting bacteriocin production and the applications of bacteriocins as antimicrobial agents.

Induced Polarization (IP) is one of the Geophysical methods that utilize the polarization properties of the rocks for metallic mineral exploration. The problems are how to distinguish the metallic minerals deposit based on the chargeability. The physical modeling of IP is used to study the behavior of TDIP response. The study of a simple mathematical model is carried out to obtain the theoretical curves which are presented as the subsurface parameter. These curves are used as a reference to assess the result of physical modeling. The laboratory physical modeling uses a tank model with a size of (200x100x70) cm3, with a block as a target and water as a host medium. The results show laboratory physical modeling which has been made is quietly good. The approximate position and geometry of the target can be identified. The resistivity inversion modeling is sensitive to recognizing the geometry and position, while the chargeability inversion is on the distribution of metallic minerals. The quantitative correlation between chargeability and iron-ore content is obtained by Dipole-dipole and Wenner configuration. Both are connected exponentially, with a different exponential constant for different block targets.
