    ABSTRACT:

    A serendipitous observation, confirmed by recent reports of ice XIc, suggested ice crystallizing in liquid nitrogen is proton ordered. It undergoes a ferroelectric phase transition at 72 K, releasing latent energy as wavelength λ ~ 4μ infrared laser light. Ice formed in polar regions during a primordial ice age emitted such light; polarised by multiple reflection it photophosphorylated deoxynucleotides on equatorial waters, creating chiral ‘transport DNA’, tDNA. tDNAs embedded in the membranes of proto-cells charged by lightning formed H-bond lined pores. Absorbing ~ 4μ light, they created an electric field which actively transported charged carrier-substrate complexes. A replicate tDNA signalled life’s origin. I discuss nine independent metabolic pathways consistent with medical, veterinary and pharmaceutical data. In each case, trace element deficient diets disable active transport and supplements could prevent consequent mental and physical maladies. 64 tDNAs selected by ‘differentiation DNAs’, dDNAs, corresponding to tRNA selection by mRNAs in protein synthesis, balance cell diets. Inherited tDNAs guide the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of common maladies. ‘Minions’, comprising 189 anti-parallel β-sheet hairpin units holding nine DNA base pairs flat, evolved to pack chromosomal DNA for efficient replication. They have roles in metabolic control, their oscillating H-bond arrays account for biological clocks and serve as chips in our brains. Biological energy coupling, exemplified by sarcomeres changing shape to form ½-wave resonant cavities for λ in striated muscle contraction, could be mimicked for nitrogen fixation. Protons accelerated along minion tunnels drive nuclear fusion; copying that might solve the current energy and pollution crisis.

    ABSTRACT:

    Ganoderma lucidum is a fungus belonging to family Ganodermataceae of polypore mushrooms which grows on woody root region of a tree. These mushrooms are extensively used as a traditional Asian medicine and are well known for their potential in bioremediation of metals. The present study was carried out with the objective of using the above mushroom for developing silver nanoparticles(Ag-NPs) and characterization of the same using ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy ,X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy dispersive X-ray (EDX), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), followed by High resolution-Transmission Electron Microscopy(HR-TEM).Surface Plasmon resonance showed the formation of silver nanoparticles in UV-Visible spectra at 438 nm. The Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis was carried out to identify and study the functional groups responsible for the bio-reduction of silver ions. The XRD study showed that the particles as crystalline in nature with a Face Centered Cubic (FCC) structure. The synthesized Ag-NPs were poly dispersed spherical particles as confirmed by EDAX-SEM and stabilized in the solution with the spherical shapes further confirmed by HRTEM analysis to be in the range of 12-20 nm. The present findings of Ag-NPs of Ganoderma lucidum promisingly proved have strong anti-cancer activity on MCF-7 cell line; in future these findings may contribute to the improvement of a suitable anticancer drug.

    ABSTRACT:

    In the present study, we first time reported the formation of GNPs by the reduction of aqueous gold metal ions during exposure to seaweed, Padina boergesenii extract and its α-glucosidase enzyme inhibitory activity. The gold nanoparticles obtained were characterized using UV–visible spectroscopy and Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectrum analysis. Formation of gold nanoparticles was confirmed by using energy dispersive X-ray microanalysis (EDX) and X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD). High Resolution Transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) measurements indicated that the newly formed nanoparticles were polydispersed with spherical, triangular, tetragonal, pentagonal, and hexagonal and rod shapes. Furthermore the green synthesized GNPs were found to be potent inhibitors of α-glucosidase with an IC50 value of 24 µg/ml. This study supports that the green synthesized GNPs from brown seaweed, Padina boergesenii exhibited inhibitory activity on the alpha glucosidase, thus suggesting that green synthesized GNPs might be useful in the treatment to limit dietary fat and glucose absorption and the accumulation of fat in adipose tissue. Further, this study supports its usage in nanomedicines for management of diabetes.

    ABSTRACT:

    Vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) are a special form of wireless networks made by vehicles communicating among themselves on roads which includes communications among vehicles and between vehicles and road side units. However, due to the high mobility and the frequent changes of the network topology, the communication links are highly vulnerable to disconnection in VANETs. This paper extend the well-known ad hoc on-demand distance vector (AODV) routing protocol with evolving graph theory to propose reliable routing protocol EG-RAODV. Simulation results demonstrate that EG-RAODV significantly outperforms better packet delivery ratio, lowest routing request ratio, less link failures while maintaining a reasonable routing control overhead and lowest average end to end delay.

    ABSTRACT:

    Biochemical changes induced by industrial effluent lead to metabolic disturbances inhibition of important enzymes, retardation of growth and reduction in the fecundity and longevity of the organism. Chronic exposure to low levels of effluent may have a more significant effect on fish populations. The acute and sub-lethal toxicity of the cement factory effluent on the fingerlings of Cirrhinus mrigala was evaluated to determine its effect on the biochemical values. The fish was exposed to varying levels of the toxicant concentrations using static bioassay to determine the median lethal concentration. The LC50 value is 1.20 per cent the fish was exposed to different hours (24, 48, 72 and 96 hours) in sub lethal concentration is 0.120 per cent. Biochemical characteristics like Protein, Carbohydrate and Lipid were estimated in gill, liver, kidney and muscle. The decrease of biochemical constituents from the control was noted. The results are statistically analysed and most of the values found to be significant.

    ABSTRACT:

    Background: Stein-Leventhal syndrome, also called polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is the most common endocrinopathy that affects women.Has been one of a major public health problem in Sudan that leads to medical consequences. It causes multifactorial in etiology such as menstrual dysfunction, hyperandrogenism, hirsutism, insulin resistance (IR), dyslipidemia and obesity which increased risk of diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular disease. We know that if patients with PCOS are screened for these diseases, many long-term complications can be prevented. Objective: The present study was designed to assess serum gonadotropin hromones [luteinizing hormone (LH), Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH)] and insulin in PCOS Sudanese women and to compare them with healthy women as controls. Materials and Methods: This study was a descriptive, analytic, cross- sectional and hospital-based study, included Sudanese women with PCOS live in Khartoum- State- Sudan, in period from March 2013 to May 2014. A total of tow hundred Sudanese women with PCOS were compared with one hundred healthy women as control group, all of them were age matched. Samples were taken from test and control group in morning after overnight fasting, then serum LH, FSH and insulin levels were analyzed using ELISA technique. Data management and analysis were done using Microsoft excel and SPSS software, version 20.00. Results: The patients with PCOS, having a mean age of 29.61±5.4 years and mean age 31.23±4.93 years of control group.The (mean ± SD) of serum luteinizing hormone, follicle stimulating hormone and insulin in test group were 14.60±9.80 mIU/ml, 6.51±2.04mIU/ml and 11.06±6.21 µIU/ml, respectively while that of control group, the (mean ± SD) of serum luteinizing hormone, follicle stimulating hormone and insulin were 7.00±3.36 mIU/ml, 8.13±3.88 mIU/ml, and 4.52±1.60 µIU/ml respectively. There was statistically significant increased levels of serum luteinizing hormone , insulin and decreased serum level of follicle stimulating hormone in PCOS group when compared to the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion: It concluded that there was a siginificant high level of serum fasting LH, insulin and decreased serum FSH, in our study there was no significant correlation could be found between serum LH, FSH and serum insulin.But there was a significant correlation could found between serumFSH and LH.

    ABSTRACT:

    Obesity is one of emerging health problems of 21st century. World Health Organisation (WHO) has declared Obesity as one of top ten health risk in the world (2000) and this is because it increases the risk of life threatning conditions, including Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, Hypertension, Heart disease, sleep disorders and many cancers and feeling of alienation from society. Young generation is prone to many medical disorders which are related to Obesity. Obesity is a growing serious medical condition that demands a preventive management. Therefore a study was conducted on Five hundred Obese Subjects belonging to rural area of Kurukshetra and urban area of Delhi (NCR). The selected subjects were 18-25 years of age and were suffering from Non- Communicable diseases. The blood testing of the subjects indicated High Lipid and Blood Glucose levels. The subjects were divided into experimental groups as E1 (Exercise group), E2 (Hypocaloric diet), E3 (Exercise & Hypocaloric diet) and a control group. The Fasting serum glucose, Total cholesterol, VLDL-C, LDL-C , and Serum Triglyceride levels were more than the average values in about 80 per cent of both male and female subjects respectively. The variation in Fasting Glucose levels, LDL cholesterol levels, VLDL –C and serum triglycerides among the groups before and after the study in males and females of Delhi and Kurukshetra was highly significant (P < 0.01). Therefore the weight reducing interventions viz. E1(Exercise) , E2(Hypocaloric diet), E3 (Exercise plus Hypocaloric diet) were effective in reducing the increased blood lipid and glucose values to normal reference levels. The correlation between Anthropometric parameters, Blood parameters and Dietary intake was also highly significant (P < 0.01).
