Published: February 2017

Tulisan ini menyajikan tentang status perikanan huhate di Bitung meliputi deskripsi unit penangkapan, daerah penangkapan, komposisi hasil tangkapan, catch per unit of effort, dan ukuran ikan pertama kali tertangkap. Data dikumpulkan selama tahun 2004 sampai dengan 2005. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa huhate yang terdapat di Bitung dioperasikan dengan kapal penangkapan yang terbuat dari kayu berukuran 50 sampai dengan 80 GT. Daerah penangkapan di sekitar lokasi rumpon di Laut Sulawesi dan Laut Maluku. Hasil tangkapan yang diperoleh terdiri atas cakalang (Katsuwonus pelamis), madidihang (Thunnus albacares), baby tuna (Thunnus spp.), dan tongkol (Auxis spp.) serta hasil tangkapan sampingan yaitu lemadang (Coryphaena hippurus) dan sunglir (Elagatis bipinnulatus). Hasil analisis catch per unit of effort diperoleh bahwa nilai catch per unit of effort baby tuna (Thunnus spp.) mengalami kenaikan pada bulan Agustus 2004, dan cakalang (Katsuwonus pelamis) mengalami kenaikan pada bulan September 2004. Hasil analisis terhadap ukuran pertama kali cakalang (Katsuwonus pelamis) tertangkap oleh huhate 49,3 FLcm. Ukuran ini lebih panjang dibandingkan ukuran pertama kali cakalang (Katsuwonus pelamis) matang gonad. Sedangkan hasil analisis terhadap ukuran pertama kali madidihang (Thunnus albacares) tertangkap oleh huhate 51,6 FLcm. Ukuran ini lebih pendek dibandingkan ukuran pertama kali madidihang (Thunnus albacares) matang gonad. This paper presents the status of pole and line fishery in Bitung of North Sulawesi, consisting of description of fishing gear, fishing ground, catch composition, catch per unit of effort, and length at first capture. Data were collected during the period of 2004 until 2005. Results show that the pole and line in Bitung operated by wooden vessels of 50 until 80 GT. The fishing grounds were the waters around FADs location in Sulawesi Sea and Maluku Sea. Catch composition consists of skipjack tuna (Katsuwonus pelamis), yellow fin tuna (Thunnus albacares), baby tuna (Thunnus spp.), and frigate tuna (Auxis spp.), while the bycatch consisted of dolphinfish (Coryphaena hippurus) and rainbow runner (Elagatis bipinnulatus). Catch per unit of effort analysis shows that catch per unit of effort value of baby tuna (Thunnus spp.) increased on August 2004, whereas catch per unit of effort value of skipjack tuna (Katsuwonus pelamis) increased on September 2004. The length at first capture of skipjack tuna (Katsuwonus pelamis) was 49,3 FLcm. The catch size was bigger than the length at first maturity for skipjack tuna (Katsuwonus pelamis). The length at first capture of yellowfin tuna (Thunnus albacares) was 51,6 FLcm. This catch size was smaller than the length at first maturity for yellowfin tuna (Thunnus albacares).
A Similarity Measure-based Optimization Model for Group Decision Making with Multiplicative and Fuzzy Preference Relations
Authors: Chao Xiangrui , Peng Yi , Kou Gang
Published: February 2017

Group decision making (GDM) problem based on different preference relations aims to obtain a collective opinion based on various preference structures provided by a group of decision makers (DMs) or experts, those who have varying backgrounds and interests in real world. The decision process in proposed question includes three steps: integrating varying preference structures, reaching consensus opinion, selecting the best alternative. Two major approaches: preference transformation and optimization methods have been developed to deal with the issue in first step. However, the transformation processes causes information lose and existing optimization methods are so computationally complex that it is not easy to be used by management practice. This study proposes a new consistency-based method to integrate multiplicative and fuzzy preference relations, which is based on a cosine similarity measure to derive a collective priority vector. The basic idea is that a collective priority vector should be as similar per column as possible to a pairwise comparative matrix (PCM) in order to assure the group preference has highest consistency for each decision makers. The model is computationally simple, because it can be solved using a Lagrangian approach and obtain a collective priority vector following four simple steps. The proposed method can further used to derive priority vector of fuzzy AHP. Using three illustrative examples, the effectiveness and simpleness of the proposed model is demonstrated by comparison with other methods. The results show that the proposed model achieves the largest cosine values in all three examples, indicating the solution is the nearest theoretical perfectly consistent opinion for each decision makers.
Feature Analysis to Human Activity Recognition
Authors: Suto Jozsef , Oniga Stefan , Pop Sitar Petrica
Published: February 2017

Human activity recognition (HAR) is one of those research areas whose importance and popularity have notably increased in recent years. HAR can be seen as a general machine learning problem which requires feature extraction and feature selection. In previous articles different features were extracted from time, frequency and wavelet domains for HAR but it is not clear that, how to determine the best feature combination which maximizes the performance of a machine learning algorithm. The aim of this paper is to present the most relevant feature extraction methods in HAR and to compare them with widely-used filter and wrapper feature selection algorithms. This work is an extended version of [1]a where we tested the efficiency of filter and wrapper feature selection algorithms in combination with artificial neural networks. In this paper the efficiency of selected features has been investigated on more machine learning algorithms (feed-forward artificial neural network, k-nearest neighbor and decision tree) where an independent database was the data source. The result demonstrates that machine learning in combination with feature selection can overcome other classification approaches.
Complex-Task Biased Technological Change and the Labor Market
Authors: Caines Colin , Hoffmann Florian , Kambourov Gueorgui
Published: February 2017

In this paper we study the relationship between task complexity and the occupational wage- and employment structure. Complex tasks are defined as those requiring higher-order skills, such as the ability to abstract, solve problems, make decisions, or communicate effectively. We measure the task complexity of an occupation by performing Principal Component Analysis on a broad set of occupational descriptors in the Occupational Information Network (O*NET) data.We establish four main empirical facts for the U.S. over the 1980-2005 time period that are robust to the inclusion of a detailed set of controls, subsamples, and levels of aggregation: (1) There is a positive relationship across occupations between task complexity and wages and wage growth; (2) Conditional on task complexity, routine-intensity of an occupation is not a significant predictor of wage growth and wage levels; (3) Labor has reallocated from less complex to more complex occupations over time; (4) Within groups of occupations with similar task complexity labor has reallocated to non-routine occupations over time. We then formulate a model of Complex-Task Biased Technological Change with heterogeneous skills and show analytically that it can rationalize these facts. We conclude that workers in non-routine occupations with low ability of solving complex tasks are not shielded from the labor market effects of automatization.

Authors: Santiago Baldan Sueli , Ferraudo Antonio Sergio , De Andrade Monica
Published: February 2017

Justificativa e objetivos: O fortalecimento da Atenção Básica à Saúde, tornando-a protagonista no cuidado da pessoa com tuberculose (TB), favorece a identificação de sintomáticos respiratórios, assim como o diagnóstico e tratamento precoce, diminuindo a transmissão da doença e favorecendo a adesão ao tratamento. Este estudo procurou investigar a eficácia da cobertura da Estratégia Saúde da Família (ESF) e da estratégia de Tratamento Diretamente Observado (TDO) no controle do abandono de tratamento para TB. Métodos:

Estudo exploratório, a partir de dados secundários. As variáveis investigadas foram: coeficiente de incidência de tuberculose (CI-TB), percentual de cobertura por ESF, percentual de abandono de tratamento e percentual de oferta de TDO, no Mato Grosso do Sul. Foi utilizada a análise de agrupamento por método hierárquico para buscar padrões contidos no conjunto de dados. Resultados: Os dados obtidos indicam que há grupos de municípios em que a cobertura por ESF e TDO contribui para adesão ao tratamento e controle do número de casos de TB, enquanto que para outros municípios estas medidas não têm sido eficazes na redução do CI-TB e do abandono ao tratamento. A doença se distribui de forma heterogênea no estado. Conclusão: Profissionais e gestores da saúde precisam conhecer os padrões da tuberculose, em suas regiões, priorizando e planejando ações que contribuam para um efetivo

controle da transmissão da doença e maior adesão ao tratamento em sua comunidade.

Published: February 2017

Justificativa e Objetivos: as doenças periodontais são bastante prevalentes na população, tornando-se fundamental a necessidade de se identificar os aspectos epidemiológicos relacionados a essas patologias. Assim, objetivou-se avaliar se características do estilo de vida, fatores sócio demográficos e o estado nutricional estariam correlacionados à presença ou não de periodontite, bem como com a sua severidade. Métodos: trata-se de um estudo transversal com 77 indivíduos (40-70 anos de idade), de ambos os gêneros, voluntários da clínica do Curso de Odontologia da Universidade de Santa Cruz do Sul. Realizou-se um questionário com a história médica, hábito de fumo e álcool, dados socioeconômicos e antropométricos. Clinicamente, executaram-se os exames de profundidade de sondagem, sangramento à sondagem e perda de inserção clínica de todos os dentes presentes na boca dos sujeitos da amostra que foram divididos em três grupos: saúde periodontal, periodontite moderada e periodontite severa. Resultados: a idade média dos indivíduos foi de 52,32±6,86 anos, sendo a maioria do sexo feminino. O predomínio da doença periodontal severa foi na faixa etária entre 50-59 anos, assim como entre aqueles sujeitos com sobrepeso e obesidade. O consumo de fumo e álcool foi pequeno (18% e 11%, respectivamente). Verificou-se uma associação significativa entre a periodontite e o nível socioeconômico, sendo que nas classes A-B1, a maioria dos indivíduos estava com saúde (61%), enquanto que nas classes C2-D-E, a maioria estava com periodontite severa (47%). Conclusão: a população menos favorecida financeiramente teve maior comprometimento periodontal e, mesmo havendo associação com a periodontite, às demais variáveis não apresentaram diferença significativa.

Cirurgia de vitrectomia com equipamento de 27 gauge
Authors: Moreira Júnior Carlos Augusto , Ávila Marcos Pereira de
Published: February 2017

No vídeo a seguir, mostramos duas cirurgias de vitrectomia via pars plana utilizando o sistema de 27 gauge. O equipamento utilizado foi o constellationR (Alcon - USA). Essas foram as duas primeiras cirurgias utilizando esse sistema, no Brasil, gravadas no Hospital de Olhos do Paraná, Curitiba, PR e no Centro Brasileiro de Visão, Brasília, DF. O sistema 27 G é mais fino e delicado que qualquer outro, realizando incisões de apenas 0.4mm. Anteriormente, o sistema mais fino era o 25 G, com incisões de 0.55mm. Incisões menores induzem menos processo inflamatório, não precisam sutura e possibilitam recuperação mais rápida dos pacientes operados.            O primeiro caso que mostramos é de uma hemorragia vítrea por retinopatia diabética proliferativa e que foi, inteiramente, operada com o novo sistema de 27 G.  Ao contrário do que se imagina, mesmo com instrumentos com abertura de menor diâmetro é possível remover adequadamente opacidades vítreas densas. Para tal, basta seguirmos a lei de Poiseuille que prevê que a velocidade de fluxo de um fluido em um sistema varia diretamente com a pressão que se  exerce para a retirada do mesmo e inversamente com a viscosidade do material. Os novos sistemas 27 G possuem alto nível pressórico de aspiração atingindo até 600 mmHg e a velocidade do corte vai até 7500 cortes por minuto, ou seja, se fizermos a vitrectomia utilizando esses parâmetros poderemos ter uma velocidade de fluxo semelhante aos aparelhos de maior diâmetro como o 25 ou 23 G. É a velocidade de corte sobre o vítreo que permite que, mesmo denso, ele possa ser retirado rapidamente.            Observem que a cirurgia está em tempo real e toda hemorragia é aspirada em um ritmo constante e similar aos outros equipamentos anteriormente usados. Apesar de mais delicado, o sistema 27 G permite a vitrectomia da periferia sem dobrar a ponteira do equipamento. O cirurgião experiente não terá qualquer dificuldade em realizar tal procedimento. Além da ponteira de vitrectomia ser mais fina, o sistema 27 G vem acompanhado de todos os acessórios com o mesmo diâmetro, como o laser que é realizado ao final deste procedimento.            No segundo caso, mostramos a cirurgia de um paciente com buraco macular. Com a alta pressão de vácuo exercida sobre o vítreo, é retirada a membrana hialoide posterior de maneira fácil e segura. Uma vez retirada a hialoide posterior, a membrana limitante interna é corada com azul brilhante para ser removida com o auxilio de fórceps apropriado. Ao final da cirurgia é realizada a troca fluido-gasosa.

The Writing of Politics and the Politics of Writing in Helen Maria Williams’ A Tour in Switzerland (1798)
Authors: Yurss Lasanta Paula
Published: February 2017

British author and political activist Helen Maria Williams (1759-1827) dedicated the greatest part of her career to describe and analyse the French Revolution and the consequences of its aftermath. She is known for her Letters written in France (1790), an eyewitness account of her first visit to France. At the beginning of her career, Williams was praised in Britain for her  sensibility poems. However, when she moved to France, and especially after the publication of A Tour Switzerland (1798), she shows her commitment to the ideas of the French Revolution while presenting her writing a source for accurate political and historical information. For this aim, she employs a series of strategies that situate herself in the position of an informed intellectual. This article focuses on A Tour in Switzerland, a work that has received less critical attention than Letters but deserves reconsideration.
Performing (In)sanity: Un-Doing Gender in Janet Frame’s An Angel at my Table
Authors: De la Parra Fernández Laura
Published: February 2017

This essay explores madness as a performative practice in Janet Frame’s An Angel At My Table (1981) as a way to escape from gender conventions. Following Shoshana Felman and Suzette Henke, I will look at how Frame deconstructs and reconstructs a new identity by giving up female gender conventions—especially sexuality and the normative female body. In the second part of this article I analyse how, by omitting an actual account of her stay in numerous mental institutions in her autobiography, she reshapes and “re-members” the image that she wants to portray of herself.
The Domestic Sphere in Attia Hosain’s Sunlight on a Broken Column (1961): The Home Mirrors the World.
Authors: Dey Arunima
Published: February 2017

By analysing Attia Hosain’s Sunlight on a Broken Column (1961), the article attempts to foreground the significance of home in Indian partition literature. As its theoretical framework, the article refers to postcolonial scholar Partha Chatterjee who claims that the Indian nationalist agenda during freedom movement turned home into a sacred site that was meant to safeguard the native values from the ‘corrupting’ Western ideology, which led to the segregation of the public and private sphere. In this context, the article examines how by focussing on the domestic sphere of home as a microcosmic reflexion of the socio-political changes happening in the country, Hosain reveals that both the private and the public are closely interlinked, thereby debunking the notion that private space is outside of history. Furthermore, the article explores the novel’s depiction of the purdah/zenana culture in order to highlight that though considered a place of refuge, home becomes a regulatory site of assertion of patriarchy-instigated familial, societal and religious codes, which makes it a claustrophobic place for its female inhabitants. In essence, the article argues that Hosain partakes in an alternate, gynocentric narrative of the partition of India.
Los referentes culturales en la subtitulación al inglés de la película cubana Fresa y Chocolate
Authors: Nodal Yessie Milag
Published: February 2017

El trasvase lingüístico de referentes culturales en los textos audiovisuales supone uno de los retos más difíciles a los que se ha de enfrentar un traductor. En este sentido, la presente investigación tiene como objetivo analizar las principales soluciones de traducción que se han empleado para subtitular al inglés los referentes culturales que identifican a la cultura cubana en la película Fresa y Chocolate (1993). Primeramente se mostrará la definición y clasificación de los referentes culturales. Posteriormente, se analizarán las distintas estrategias de traducción que para este fin se han empleado, así como la variable del tipo de referencia cultural. Por lo que respecta a los resultados, la solución más frecuente ha sido la traducción comunicativa, seguida de soluciones extranjerizantes, como el calco o el exoticismo. Por otra parte, según se ha podido comprobar, el tipo de referencia cultural ha influido en la elección de la solución.
EFL Students' Preferences Towards Written Corrective Feedback: An Exploratory Study on Age and Level of Proficiency
Authors: Orts Sara , Salazar Patricia
Published: February 2017

Corrective feedback (CF, henceforth) has been an issue of investigation in second language acquisition for a number of years now. In the English-as-a-foreign-language classroom, students may have different preferences towards how to have their errors corrected. Research has shown that differences in the learning styles of the students will affect the learning environment by either supporting or inhibiting their intentional cognition and active engagement. In the classroom, teachers can use this information as a tool to motivate students and help them improve in their learning process. This exploratory study was carried out to analyse students’ preferences towards written correction in two different groups at a high school in Spain. Students filled out a questionnaire and results were analysed in order to determine whether age and level of English may be factors affecting their preferences for error correction.

Authors: Sujata  , Kumar Deepak , Kumar Suresh
Published: February 2017

The present investigations were undertaken with a view to evaluate Baptisia tinctoria roots (Wild Indigo; family – Fabaceae) systematically for neuropharmacological activities. The methanol extract (ME) of plant was prepared by extracting properly identified plant in a Soxhlet apparatus with methanol, after defatting with n-hexane. Acute toxicity studies revealed that ME is safe for acute administration. Preliminary phytochemical screening of ME showed presence of alkaloids, steroids, flavonoids, triterpenoids, coumarins and tannins as major classes of phytoconstituents. The ethyl acetate fraction (EAF) was prepared by fractionating crude ME using standardized procedure, which showed presence of flavonoids, alkaloids and triterpenoids. ME (400 mg/kg) and EAF (106 mg/kg) produced significant antistress activity in similar manner as exhibited by the standard drug. The ME and EAF exhibited mild antianxiety activity, and were found to be devoid of anticonvulsant, sedative and analgesic activities.

Authors: Kalantar Majid , Kalantar Mohammad Hassan
Published: February 2017

Growth and physiological characteristics of meat-type chicken such as serum immunoglobulin concentration, digesta pH and viscosity, pancreatic enzyme activity, organelle weights, and gene expression of intestinal GLUT2 of chickens was studied by means of 375 day-old chicks which randomly assigned to three treatments with five replicates in a completely randomized design. Two different types of cereal-based diets (wheat, and barley) were used as experimental groups and a corn-based diet was also considered to serve as control group. All diets had similar contents of crude protein, energy, and total non-starch polysaccharides (NSP). Results indicated that different dietary source of NSP had significantly (P<0.01) affected growth traits, so barley and wheat diets had maximum feed intake and feed conversion rate, inversely minimum weight gain than corn diet. Intestinal physicochemical characteristics such as pH and viscosity of digesta significantly (P<0.01) changed by different dietary source of NSP. Wheat and barley diets had minimum pH, and inversely maximum viscosity compared to corn diet. The maximum values of fat pad and liver percentage, in contrary, minimum values of pancreas and gut length belonged to corn diet (P<0.01). Serum immunoglobulin concentrations of IgG and IgM for wheat and barley diets were higher than their counterparts fed on corn (P<0.01). Gene expression of intestinal GLUT2 of chickens based on mean fold change after feeding of wheat or barley was at upper level compared to corn diet (P<0.01). In conclusion, based on findings of present study, feeding of different dietary NSP sources to broiler chickens significantly affected growth traits and internal organelle percentages, as well as physiological and immune responses. Also gene expression of intestinal GLUT2 well affected by cereal NSP sources through feeding of wheat or barley.

Abstract. Breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in women worldwide due to the complicated etiology involving both genetic and environmental factors. BC was induced by N-Methyl-N-Nitrosourea administration intermammary in Wistar female. Studied frequency of development of NMU-induced BC, phenotype of BC cells, phenotype of MSC from mammary gland tissue, quantity and quality of immunocompetent cells, expression of miRNAs, hormone levels and cytokines were done for estimate sensitivity to chemotherapy.We showed that MNU-induced BC developed in 90%, immunohistochemical similar to human luminal A type of BC with higher proliferation activity. We estimated significantly increased count of BC-MSC with CD45+CD90-, and CD45+CD90+, and CD45-CD90+ phenotype in animal with MNU-induced BC. Chemotherapy caused changes in quality and quantity of immunocompetent cells, decrease of prolactin and luteinizing hormone levels, and some changes in expression of pro-oncogenic or tumor-suppressing miRNAs. In MNU-induced BC animal were observed increased serum levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines. In regional lymph nodes found increased count of macrophages and presence of tumor cells. Intermammary administration of NMU possessed to breast cancer development with similarities to human luminal B phenotype. This MNU-induced breast cancer may serve as a model to study efficiency of chemotherapy.

Authors: Tamburro Andrea G. , Harris Marshelia
Published: February 2017

Social work instructors often assist students with writing; through a framework of project-based learning (PBL), they can apply a systematic approach to foster effective writing skills in undergraduate social work students. PBL guides students to identify and strengthen their writing skills so they can fill gaps that would otherwise inhibit their achievement. This article explores the planning, preparation, and implementation of two student projects that build writing proficiency using PBL. Strategies to assist developing writers are described, including viewing writing projects as a process, reducing student anxiety about writing, reducing plagiarism, and improving self-reflection on written documents.

Graft‐Free Maxillary Sinus Floor Elevation: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis
Authors: Duan Deng‐Hui , Fu Jia‐Hui , Qi Wei , Du Yi , Pan Jie , Wang Hom‐Lay
Published: February 2017

Background: This systematic review and meta‐analysis aims to investigate survival rates of dental implants placed simultaneously with graft‐free maxillary sinus floor elevation (GFSFE). Factors influencing amount of vertical bone gain (VBG), protruded implant length (PIL) in sinus at follow‐up (PILf), and peri‐implant marginal bone loss (MBL) are also evaluated.

Methods: Electronic and manual searches for human clinical studies on simultaneous implant placement and GFSFE using the lateral window or transcrestal approach, published in the English language from January 1976 to March 2016, were conducted. The random‐effects model and mixed‐effect meta‐regression were used to analyze weighted mean values of clinical parameters and evaluate factors that influenced amount of VBG.

Results: Of 740 studies, 22 clinical studies were included in this systematic review. A total of 864 implants were placed simultaneously with GFSFE at edentulous sites having mean residual bone height of 5.7 ± 1.7 mm. Mean implant survival rate (ISR) was 97.9% ± 0.02% (range: 93.5% to 100%). Weighted mean MBL was 0.91 ± 0.11 mm, and it was significantly associated with the postoperative follow‐up period (r = 0.02; R2 = 43.75%). Weighted mean VBG was 3.8 ± 0.34 mm, and this parameter was affected significantly by surgical approach, implant length, and PIL immediately after surgery (PILi) (r = 2.82, 0.57, 0.80; R2 = 19.10%, 39.27%, 83.92%, respectively). Weighted mean PILf was 1.26 ± 0.33 mm (range: 0.3 to 2.1 mm).

Conclusion: Within limitations of the present systematic review, GFSFE with simultaneous implant placement can achieve satisfactory mean ISR of 97.9% ± 0.02%.
Commentary: A Translational Medicine Approach to Tooth Transplantation
Authors: Prato Giovanpaolo Pini , Zuccati Giliana , Clauser Carlo
Published: February 2017

The autogenous tooth transplantation approach to replace missing teeth has been in use for a long time. Different surgical techniques have been developed to improve prognosis and longevity of transplanted teeth with complete root formation. Many factors reportedly affected short‐ and long‐term success of the procedure: complications such as ankylosis and root resorption up to the tooth exfoliation have occurred frequently. Several studies have appeared on this issue over the years. However, outcomes of transplantations have not yet been conclusively determined as no randomized clinical trials have been published on this issue, and their effectiveness has been evaluated only in observational studies. On the other hand, interesting information from specific experimental studies on the healing pattern of the interface between the root surface and alveolar bone in the replantation/transplantation model, and from non‐related studies dealing with mechanically induced periodontal trauma, has been available and potentially useful since the 1970s to 1980s. However, this information has not been incorporated into clinical literature regarding tooth autotransplantation. This commentary aims to show how information from related and unrelated experimental models was translated to a clinical setting and led to a novel approach, successfully applied, in the autotransplantation of a multirooted tooth with completed root formation.

Authors: Nelofar Ghulam Nabi  , Mukta Shrivastava
Published: February 2017

Flavonoids are a group of polyphenolic compounds, which are widely distributed throughout the plant kingdom. Flavonoids of different classes exhibited various pharmacological and biological activities. The present study was undertaken to investigate the total flavonoids and antioxidant effect of Spilanthes acmella leaves. The ethanol extract of Spilanthes acmella leaves were prepared and performed its phytochemical screening. The total flavonoids and polyphenol were investigated to quantify the presence of polyphenol compounds. The 2,2-diphenyl-1-picryl-hydrazil stable radical (DPPH) and Superoxide scavenging radical were used to determine extract antioxidant activity. The concentrations of flavonoids polyphenol in ethanol extract of Spilanthes acmella were 72.14 QE mg/gm and 84.52 GAE mg/gm, respectively.  The extract exhibited the strongest antioxidant activity, with the lowest IC50 ­value for DPPH and Superoxide scavenging. The IC50 ­value for DPPH and Superoxide scavenging were 134.11 µg/ml and 104.51 µg/ml, respectively.   The strongest antioxidant activity of ethanol extract could be due to the presence of flavonoids and phenols.

The flavonoid, glycosides, alkaloids saponin, tannins etc represent an unusual group of structurally diverse secondary metabolites, derived from the convergence of multiple biosynthetic pathways that are widely distributed through the plant and animal kingdoms. Many of them have been discovered through bioassay-guided chemical investigations of traditional medicines, suggesting potential therapeutic significance. Apigenin is a flavonoid found in the medicinal plant and acts as source of pharmacological activities. Potential therapeutic indications are as diverse as cancer and viral infections, inflammation and immunomodulation, neurological and psychiatric conditions, and diabetes etc. In the view of their various pharmacological and biological actions, it seems to have great therapeutic potential.

In recent years, quail eggs have become a subject of interest because of its properties and medical benefits. In this study, the separate and combined effects of quail eggs and vitamin C on the blood glucose level and body weight of streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats were investigated. The 30 wistar rats were randomly assigned into five groups; Group I (control), Group II (diabetic rats without treatment), Group III (diabetic rats treated with raw quail eggs only), Group IV (diabetic rats treated with raw quail eggs and vitamin C) and Group V (diabetic rats treated with Glibenclamide 600 µg/kg body weight). Diabetes mellitus was induced in fasted rats with a single intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin (50 mg/kg body weight). The induced rats were then treated with the Quail eggs, Quail eggs/vit C, and Glibenclamide. At the end of the 10 days of treatment, the group treated with quail eggs and vitamin C at 0.15 ml/kg and 200 mg/kg body weight per day, respectively showed a significant (p< 0.05) hypoglycaemic effect, as the mean blood glucose level in the group decreased with an increase in the mean body weight. The group treated with Glibenclamide showed similar and stronger effect of hypoglycaemia. The group treated with quail eggs alone did not show any significant hypoglycaemic effect. Consequently, the groups treated quail eggs/vit C and Glibenclamide lost significant body weight. Quail eggs alone, quail eggs combined with vit C and Glibenclamide have hypoglycaemic effect after 10 days of administration, and could therefore be used to manage diabetes mellitus. Glibenclamide is however more potent for this purpose than quail egg/vit C, which is also more potent than quail egg alone.
