A new minor ent-kaurane diterpene glycoside having five β-D-glucopyranosyl units with a rare
attachment of β-D-glucopyranosyl units at C-13 position has been isolated from the commercial extract of the leaves of Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni. The chemical structure of the new compound was characterized as 13-[(3- O-{6-O-β-D-glucopyranosyl-β-D-glucopyranosyl}-β-D-glucopyranosyl) oxy] ent-kaur-16-en-19-oic acid-(2-O- β-D-glucopyranosyl-β-D-glucopyranosyl) ester (1) on the basis of extensive 1D (1H & 13C) and 2D NMR (TOCSY, HMQC, and HMBC), and High Resolution (HR) mass spectroscopic data as well as enzymatic and acid hydrolysis studies.

Rhinitis is a condition present in the world, caused by irritation and inflammation of the nasal mucosa. The most common symptoms are a feeling of nasal stuffiness, runny nose and post-nasal drip. Most often is allergic type, usually triggered by the presence of allergens in the air such as pollen or animal dander and hair. This particular type of rhinitis can also be associated with different symptoms, such as sneezing, nasal itching, cough, headache, weakness, malaise, cognitive slowing in addition to a range of symptoms that are related to the eyes, such as eye pruritus, conjunctivitis, persistent lacrimation, periorbital edema. As therapy the antihistamines and antibiotics are used frequently that are not free from undesirable side effects. The herbal medicine is therefore a viable alternative in the prevention of this disease alleviates uncomfortable symptoms that accompany it.

Delignification of corn stover by white rot fungus Phanerochaete chrysosporium in solid state fermentation was evaluated for improving subsequent enzymatic hydrolysis. Corn stover has major components of lignocellulosic material which have large potential for the development future products. Corn stover consists of cellulose (36,81%), hemicelluloses (27,01%), lignin (15,70%), ash (6,04%) and other material (14,44%). Some white-rot fungi has used to lignin degradation. The most commonly utilized fungus is the white-rot fungus Phanerochaete chrysosporium. The purpose of this research is to determine temperature effect of incubation and mold inoculum volume to find the best condition in the biodelignification process of corn stover using Response Surface Methodology. The experimental result shows that significant factor in biodelignification is temperature. The best condition from corn stover biodelignification are temperature of 30oC and 10 ml mold inoculum. Under this condition, produce lignin removal 11,73 %, α-cellulose removal 24,59 % and hemicelllulose removal 32,44 %.

The preventive and curative effects of gotu kola and turmeric extracts on the damage of rat liver induced by paracetamol were studied by using 68 male rats (Sprague dawley). The experiment was conducted in a Completely Randomized Design with 5 treatments of combination of gotu kola and turmeric extracts. Parameters measured were the activity of aspartate transaminase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) and histopathology examination of the liver. The result showed that administration of gotu kola and turmeric extracts either during preventive or curative treatment decreased the levels of AST and ALT. The result showed that the extracts of gotu kola and turmeric could inhibit the decrease in GSH-Px enzyme activity (preventive effect) and stimulated the increase in GSH-Px enzyme activity (curative) and regenerate the damaged liver cells caused by paracetamol induction (curative). Combination of 18.75 mg gotu kola extract and 336 mg turmeric extract gave the best result in preventive and curative effects. It was concluded that gotu kola and turmeric extracts could be used to prevent and to cure the liver damage due to the excessive consumption of paracetamol.

Nutraceutical is a food or à food ingredient that provides medical and health benefits. Polyphenols play an important role in the maintenance of health and prevention of diseases. Among polyphenols, the most widely used substance Curcumin. Curcumin derived from the herbal remedy and dietary spice turmeric. It possesses wide range of beneficial properties includes anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant, anti-microbial and anti-cancer properties following oral or topical administration, so it can be useful for both systemic and local disease treatments. Local drug delivery provides a more targeted and efficient drug-delivery option than systemic delivery. This review primarily focuses on some of the evidences on local therapeutic approaches of Curcumin for most common oral diseases; oral infection, periodontal diseases, aphthous ulcers, precancerous lesions and oral mucositis. This review also highlights the recent advances of nanocarriers' delivery systems in enhancing and improving the local efficacy of Curcumin to combat specifically some of the oral diseases.

Sarcomas are neoplastic malignancies that typically arise in tissues of a mesenchymal origin. The identification of novel molecular mechanisms leading to sarcoma formation and the establishment of new therapies and biomarkers have been hampered by several critical factors. This type of cancer is rarely observed in clinical settings, with fewer than 15,000 newly cases being diagnosed each year in the United States. Another complicating factor is that sarcomas are extremely heterogeneous as they arise in a multitude of tissues from many different cell lineages. The scarcity of clinical samples coupled with its inherent heterogeneity creates a challenging experimental environment for clinicians and scientists. Faced with these challenges, there have been extremely limited advances in treatment options available to patients with sarcomas than in those for patients with other cancers. In order to glean insight into the pathobiology of sarcomas, scientists are now using mouse models whose genomes have been specifically tailored to carry gene deletions, gene amplifications, and point mutations commonly observed in human sarcomas. The use of these model organisms has been successful in increasing our knowledge and understanding of how alterations in relevant oncogenic, tumor suppressive, and signaling pathways directly impact sarcomagenesis. It is the goal of many in the biological community that the use of these mouse models will serve as powerful in vivo tools to further our understanding of sarcomagenesis and potentially identify new biomarkers and develop therapeutic strategies.

Objectives: Cardiovascular diseases are most universal in patients in Type 2 DM and Type 1 diabetes mellitus. High density lipoprotein(HDLc) and serum low-density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDLc) and relatively constructive lipid profiles, as it may help to diagnosis of the T2DM. To examine T2DM with dyslipidemia and their correlation is the aim of the present study in residents of Vidarbha Region. Methods: This case-control study was carried out in Jawaharlal Nehru medical college, Sawangi (Meghe), Wardha , on total of 100 subjects, with 50 T2DM patients and 50 controls (non-diabetic cases) and, to study their HDL and LDL profiles. Results: The present study showed increased levels of and LDL cholesterol 121.79±44.33 than in control 120.04 (30.57).Fasting blood sugar 97.70± 12.05 than in control 94.3±19.5 in T2DM subjects; conversely, serum HDL cholesterol 35.5± 9.27 level was reduced significantly in T2DM patients than in controls 45.0 ±4.10. Conclusion: Findings of the present study rivet a significant correlation between serum LDL and HDL cholesterols in T2DMpatients.
