Authors: Mishra P.K. , Saxena R. C. , Saxena H. K. , Arora S. 
Published: February 2023

During present study it was recorded that 6-methoxy ageratochromene isolated from whole herb acetone extract of Ageratum conyzoides inhibits the growth and moulting in the second and fourth instar larval treatment of Culex quinquefasciatus. When the plant extract were applied topically, the average pupal period prolonged significantly (p < 0.05) as compared to those of the control. Fourth stage larvae just prior to metamorphosis were most sensitive. Mortality in larvae, pupae and during ecdysis brings about a considerable fall in population. This growth index was found to be reduced in Ageratum conyzoides (P < 0.01) compared to the control.

Environmental Significance of Helminth Parasites and Their Removal in Wastewater Treatment Processes
Authors: Satyanarayan Shanta , Chaturvedi P.K. , Kaul S. N. 
Published: February 2023

Epidemiological surveys have reported important risks regarding intestinal parasites because of their widespread distribution (Crompton 1989), their high survival rate in the environment (Shuval et al. 1988) and their low infective dose (Kowal 1985 Gunnerson et al. 1985). The presence of large number of helminth eggs in various effluents used for agricultural purposes has been reported by several studies (Barbier et al. 1990 Schwartzbrod et al. 1986). Occurrence of helminthes, a human intestinal parasite, in sewage is of considerable environmental significance. In the past, the different helminth parasites were distributed only in some pockets on earth. But the migration of people and enormous production of sewage with population explosion has resulted in widespread occurrence of these parasites. These parasites are transmitted through their resistant life stages such as eggs and larvae and are responsible for infection of intestine, illness, pneumonia, cough, eosinophilia, blood stained sputum, bowel obstruction, infection of liver, gall bladder and appendix, vitamin deficiency and also occasional death in both children and adults. Contaminated articles like vegetables, hands, utensils and dust help in distribution and transmission of parasites. Sewage treatment plant workers are also exposed to the infection by helminth parasites. Strict standards for the number of eggs are laid down by W.H.O. for the reuse of treated wastewater. Various wastewater treatments processed differ in their efficiency in the removal of highly resistant helminth eggs. In sewage treatment, most of the helminth eggs are concentrated in the sludge, which require further treatment such as composting, aerobic digestion and anaerobic digestion. The information on all these aspects are reviewed in this paper, including the approaches proposed by different workers to make the treatment more effective to make sewage and sludge suitable for safe reuse and the suitable monitoring methods developed for the enumeration of helminth parasites in wastewater and treated effluents and sludge.

We can overcome this global challenge by minimizing input costs and optimizing yields by employing appropriate tillage techniques and balanced fertilizer application. Appropriate tillage practices together with balanced fertilizer may be a promising practice of soil management to improve soil properties and crop production. The present study was carried out in wheat-maize cropping pattern (in the year 2019-20) at agricultural research farm of Gomal University, Dera Ismail Khan, Pakistan. The experiment was set up in a split-plot layout with a randomized complete blocks design. The nitrogen levels of 0, 90, 120, 150, and 180 kg N ha-1 were assigned to subplots. Tillage and nitrogen treatments separately had a significant impact on growth and yield characteristics, but the interaction between them had minimal effect, according to the findings. The tallest heights were found in the conventional tillage plots and the high N input (N180) plots, with heights of 101 and 104 cm, respectively. The spikes per m2 were found 242 in zero tillage plots, while the highest number of spikes per plot (265) was recorded in N180. The yield contributing factor number of grain spike-1 was 48.7 in zero tillage, while the nitrogen fertilizer @ 180 kg ha-1 yielded 52, 1000-grain weight of 35g was measured in conventional tillage and 38.8g in nitrogen fertilizer plots. Deep tillage where the nitrogen @ 150 kg ha-1 was applied gave the maximum grain yields, with 3113 kg ha-1 and 3415 kg ha-1, respectively. The benefit-cost ratio of different treatments was highest in zero tillage plots, with nitrogen @ 150 kg ha-1, at 1.65. Hence, it may be concluded from the study that both tillage and nitrogen levels influenced the agronomic properties of wheat, influenced the economics of farmers, and soil fertility.

Authors: Kıyak Görkem , Ercan Sabriye 
Published: February 2023

Objective: The aim of this study is to determine the effect of neuromuscular fatigue created in the core region on the biomechanics of landing.
Materials and Methods: Healthy individuals aged between 18-25 years and without any musculoskeletal injury that prevented them from performing the landing test were included in the study. In the study, cross-over randomization was applied. After the descriptive characteristics of the individuals (lower extremity length, Q angle, range of motion etc.) participating in the study were recorded, core region endurance was evaluated with curl-up test, static back endurance test (Biering Sorenson test) and horizontal side bridge test. Subjective fatigue protocol was created with the prone bridge test. The effect of the fatigue caused by the prone bridge test performed during applied time on the biomechanics landing was examined with the 'Landing Error Scoring System'.
Results: The study included 21 women (77.8%) and six men (22.2%) whose age was 21.7±0.2 (21-25) years, height 168.7±1.6 (156-190) cm, body weight 59.3±1.6 (46-80) kg and body mass index 20.8±0.5 (17.5-28.8) kg/m2. It was determined that fatigue caused by the prone bridge test performed during applied time did not make a difference in the landing error score of the participants (p=0.545). It was determined that the results of the curl-up test and right horizontal side bridge test, in which endurance of the core region was determined, revealed a negative linear relationship with the landing error scores obtained after the fatigue protocol.
Conclusion: Increasing core region endurance of healthy individuals is associated with the response of lower extremity biomechanics to fatigue. Therefore, it is recommended that endurance exercises for the core region should be made a part of training programs.

Published: February 2023

Objective: COVID-19 pandemic has affected many people as well as athletes and healthcare professionals mentally. Although there are many studies examining the effect of the pandemic on the mental status of athletes and hospital staff, its effect on the psychological status of professionals providing athlete health care is unknown. This study investigates the effect of the pandemic on the mental health status of health workers of employed in sports clubs.
Method: A total of 192 physicians, physiotherapists and masseurs employed in four different sports branches (football, basketball, volleyball, handball) participated in this survey study, which was conducted one year after the outbreak of the pandemic. Three questionnaires, including Depression Anxiety Stress Scale-21 (DASS-21), Coronavirus Anxiety Scale, and Coronavirus Fear Scale were administered to evaluate the mental status of the participants.
Results: Physiotherapists' DASS-21 total and stress subgroup scores were found to be higher than those of masseurs (p=0.013, p=0.016, respectively). When compared by sports branches, the measurement results of healthcare professionals were similar (p>0.05). The DASS-21 anxiety subgroup scores were found to be higher in those who had COVID-19 infection than in those who did not (p=0.004). Nevertheless, the mean scores of the participants were in the normal range.
Conclusion: In this study, which was conducted about a year after the beginning of the pandemic, the COVID-19 pandemic and the coronavirus infection did not have a significant effect on the mental state of the sports health workers. This can be attributed to the fact that healthcare professionals have adapted to the pandemic process.

Pará rubber produces natural latex which is essential for the industries. Rubber plant in immature phase is prone to macronutrient deficiencies due to improper management practices in the field and the nature of immature plants that have sensitive physiological responses under stress conditions. The study aimed to assess the effect of macronutrient limitation on immature rubber trees’ photosynthetic capacity and growth. The immature rubber was pot-grown inside the greenhouse with a completely randomized design experiment and nutrient limitations used as the treatments. The treatments consisted of 5 levels, namely, NPK; NP (-K); NK (-P); PK (-N); Control (-NPK). Photosynthetic capacity parameters (Vc max: maximum rate RuBisCO carboxylation, Jmax: RuBP regeneration rate, and TPU: Triose Phosphate Utilization), tree growth (plant height, flush number, leaf number, stem diameter), and leaf macronutrient (N, P, and K) concentrations were periodically measured. Welsch’s test (α = 0.05) continued with Games-Howell pairwise comparison, followed by Pearson’s correlation test and polynomial regressions were performed to describe the nutrient limitation and photosynthetic capacity relationships. Results showed that the leaf nutrient concentration corresponds with the given treatments, even though it was above the critical level for immature rubber. The limitation of N fertilization slightly reduced plant development and growth such as height, leaf number, flush number, relative growth rate, and photosynthetic capacities. However, the P and K limitation effect could not be observed clearly in the observation periods on growth and photosynthetic capacity parameters. Furthermore, the mobility rate of nutrients from the soil to the plants and its translocation inside plant organs played more essential role in plant growth and photosynthetic capacities. Prolonged observation periods on various rubber clones have to be performed to deeply understand the effects of nutrient deficiencies on immature rubber tree morphophysiological activities.
HIGHLIGHTS

Rubber plant in immature phase have sensitive physiological responses under stress conditions, and it is prone to macronutrient deficiencies due to improper management practices in the field
Assessment of macronutrient limitation effect on immature rubber trees’ photosynthetic capacity and growth is essential to understand how the plants strive under the nutrient scarcity and providing a perspective which nutrient is more essential
The N fertilization played more essential role compared to P and K, for immature rubber growth and photosynthetic activity

Authors: Nanasombat Suree 
Published: February 2023

Nowadays, there is growing interest in using medicinal plants as antimicrobial agents to treat microbial infections in the oral cavity. This study was aimed to evaluate phytochemical properties, anti-oral cancer and antimicrobial activity against C. albicans and some potential oral lactic acid bacteria (Lactobacillus casei and Lactobacillus plantarum). Plant extracts including Cinnamomum verum (cinnamon), Acorus calamus (sweet flag), Hibiscus sabdariffa (roselle), Zingiber officinale (ginger) and Alpinia officinarum (lesser galangal) were tested and used to formulate mouthrinses for oral health care. Cinnamon extract possessed the highest phenolic, flavonoid and tannin content, and antioxidant activity (1,152.58 mg ascorbic acid equivalent/g by phosphomolybdenum assay and 39.64 % nitric oxide radical scavenging activity), while roselle extract had the highest total alkaloids. Only lesser galangal extract displayed anti-oral cancer activity with 97.83 % cytotoxicity. High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis revealed the presence of galangin and kaempferide in the lesser galangal rhizome extract. The cinnamon extract showed the strongest inhibitory activity against Candida albicans (4 mg/mL MIC). Cinnamon extract (24 mg/mL) and cinnamaldehyde (0.08 mol/L) exhibited the best killing effect and the highest cellular protein leakage in C. albicans. In addition, these plant extracts were used to develop mouthrinse formulations. The extracts of cinnamon and ginger at 10 % in mouthrinse formulations could strongly inhibit the growth of C. albicans. In comparison, 8 and 10 % roselle extracts showed the best inhibitory effect against Lactobacillus casei. In summary, cinnamon and lesser galangal were potential plants with antimicrobial, antioxidant, anti-biofilm and anti-oral cancer activities, and thus can be utilized to formulate oral care products.
HIGHLIGHTS

Lesser galangal was found to be a prominent anti-oral cancer plant
Cinnamon was shown to be an interesting anti-Candida albicans plant
Cinnamon, ginger and roselle extracts at 10 % in mouthrinse formulations exhibited strong antimicrobial activity. These plants can be used to incorporate into oral care products for treatment and prevention of oral diseases
