Homology Model of Galu_Mp19: LAGLIDADG

Sanjeev K Thakur, Balaraj Singh Gill

Ganoderma lucidum, basidiomycetes fungus critically involved in cancer and neurodegenerative diseases involving myco-constituents majorly by terpenoids, polysaccharides and proteins. Revealing and delving deeper mechanism in the proteomics brings out numerous protein sequence known as hypothetical proteins. One such protein in Ganoderma lucidum is Galu_Mp19 with 192 amino acids whose homology model is prepared for the first time and structurally assigned as homing endonuclease LAGLIDADG type of protein. The model was evaluated by various bioinformatics tools and the conserve domain residues of the protein, revealed by the comparative sequence analysis, were investigated by the different protein analysis tool. Residues ranging from 57-156 are conserved sequences in the LAGLIDADG in which Arg70, Ile71, Lys73, Gly80, Met122, Tyr123, Gln146, Ser180, Ala184, Lys185 and Arg186 residues exhibits top energy model during DNA-protein binding prediction. Prominently, LAGLIDADG engaged in genome analysis, gene manipulation, cloning, recombination events, DSB repair and transposition as rare-cutting endonucleases to uphold chromosomal integrity and viability.

Effects of Thuja Occidentalis Extract on Histo-Pathological Parameters in Rabbits Treated with and Without Carbon Tetrachloride

Farah Saeed, Noor Jahan, Mehjabeen ., Syed M Alam, Mansoor Ahmad

The aim of this research work was to evaluate the effect of low dose of Thuja occidentalis for three months on rabbit. To achieve this aim histopathology of heart, liver, stomach and kidney tissues of control groups as well as Thuja occidentalis treated groups with and without carbon tetrachloride was carried out on rabbits. Liver function test of the group injected CCl4 was also done. Our study demonstrated that minor harmful effects were found in liver and kidney tissues injected carbon tetrachloride but no major toxicity was observed in any of the examined tissues due to potent anti-oxidant potential of active constituents present in Thuja occidentalis.

Evaluation of Efficacy of Gambhari Phala Churna on Satva

Ashalatha M, Kuber Sankh

Gambhari, an essential component of Dashamuala dravya is termed to be Rasayana dravya, medhya activity has been related to its fruits, which are edible in nature. Memory enhancing effect of Gambhari phala has been evaluated clinically on school children belonged to different socio-economic status. The children were grouped and administered with Gambhari phala churna granules 5 gm once daily at morning and Placebo powder 5 gm respectively once daily at morning the children were advised to follow the diet for 90 days and follow up period set for 90 days. Efficacy of Gambhari phala churna was assessed using parameters mentioned in Charaka samhita Vimana sthana 8th chapter i.e Rogabhishagajitiya adhyaya and results were compared with placebo group using SPSS statistical tool. Significant improvement were noticed among Gambhari phala churna treated group with respect to all the parameters, hence Gambhari phala churna on satva is established scientifically w.s r. to memory promoting activity.

Study of Uropathogen and its Antimicrobial Resistance Pattern from Tertiary Care Rural Hospital

Charankaur G Dardi, Smita A Watwe, Sadhana Chate, Aruna S Khare

Urinary tract infections are serious health problem affecting 150 million people globally in each year. The distribution of antimicrobial susceptibility data of UTI-causing microorganisms changes from time to time and from place to place. So the present study was undertaken with the aim to study the microorganisms and their antimicrobial resistance patterns of microorganisms involved in UTIs. A total of 352 clinical specimens suspected of having UTIs were processed for identification of microorganisms and their antimicrobial resistance patterns of microorganisms involved in UTIs. A total of 221(62.78%) bacterial uropathogens were isolated. E.coli was the dominant bacteria among all isolated uropathogens with the prevalence rate of 42.08%. The second most prevalent isolate was S.aureus 62(28.05%).The prevalence of UTI is more among females 143(71.5%) as compared to males 78(51.32%). Female to male ratio was 1.83:1 E.coli is the predominant organism in the age group of 21-40 and in 81-90 years. The prevalence of S.aureus and P.aeruginosa were higher in the extreme age groups. The percentage of uropathogens in the geriatric age group was 80.52% Ward-wise, majority of the isolates were from Surgery(69.23%) and obgyn(69.49%). Isolate wise, Higher prevalence of E.coli were from Medicine (38.85%) and OPD (32.73%) and that of Staphylococcus aureus were seen in Obgy(32.20%),ICU(24.14%) and Surgery(23.08%) and pediatric wards whereas from other wards E.coli was predominant. Uropathogens showed higher resistance to fluoroquinolones and lower resistance was seen to aminoglycoside. In conclusion, although E.coli is the predominant isolate causing UTI, the pathogen that is gaining significance is S.aureus.
