Abstract

The pH-shift method is a recent process used to isolate proteins from animal muscle with good functional properties. It can be used to recover proteins from cheap, underutilized sources and/or

process byproducts. Large amount of leached water containing dissolved protein and fat is drained out as effluent of Surimi industry. An attempt was made to recover dissolved proteins by

pH shifting method and assess its nutritional composition and storage stability for its better utilization. The proteins recovered from Surimi leached water were found to contain 63.93 ± 0.07% % protein, 1.62 ± 0.19 % fat, 24.43 ± 0.35 % ash, and 8.87 ± 0.14 % moisture. Solubility, water holding capacity ( WHC) and fat binding capacity ( FBC) were also assessed to find its suitability as food ingredient. Recovered samples were quite stable for a period of three months without any significant sign of deterioration. pH shifting methods were found to be effective in recovering dissolved materials in leached water. A very high protein (63.93 to 60.40%) and mineral rich (24.43 to 26.35 %) fine powder of good functional properties was recovered from large amounts of leached water drained out by Surimi industry. The results of this work clearly show that the process of alkaline solubilization can successfully be employed to recover proteins with good functional properties from Surimi leached water.

Abstract

Hypertension is one of the most common clinical conditions encountered by the physicians. There are wide ranges of medications available for treatment of hypertension, in which Calcium Channel Blockers (CCBs) are the one of the most commonly prescribing drug. The first generation antihypertensive drug nifedipine was introduced in 1960s; due to its rapid vasodilatory action it enhances the sympathetic tone. The second and the third generation drugs showed the reduction of sympathetic reflex by its slow-releasing action. Amlodipine which was introduced as the third generation, exhibits longer half-life and most potent antihypertensive agent as compared to the previous generation agents. Ankle edema is one of the most frequent adverse effects of amlodipine often leading to noncompliance and discontinuation of an effective antihypertensive drug. Cilnidipine is a fourth generation calcium channel blocker with unique features, which inhibits both sympathetic N-type and vascular Ltype Ca2+ channels. Interestingly, Cilnidipine shows complete resolution of amlodipine induced pedal edema in clinical practice. Therefore, this strategy may provide a new approach for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases. This review article is aiming to explain the calcium channel blocker - associated edema and resolution of edema through the use of L and N-type of calcium channel blockers. CCBs are potential antihypertensive agents but the main drawback of this group of drug is it produces pedal edema which decreases the compliance. The main cause for CCB-induced edema increased capillary hydrostatic pressure by arteriolar dilation. The new L and N-type of CCB cause pre and post capillary dilatation which normalizes the hydrostatic pressure, which resolves the edema.

Abstract

Pithecellobium dulce is one of the important lesser known fruits of Indian origin. In Rajasthan, it is mainly available in Ajmer, Udaipur and Mount Abu districts, belonging to the family of Leguminosae (subfamily Mimosoideae), locally known as Jangal jalebi and with English name as Manila Tamarind. Pithecellobium dulce is a small to medium sized, evergreen, spiny woody legume tree with a height of about 18 m. Its fruit contains pulp in a pod, with characteristic flavour and taste. The pulp (aril) around the seed has white and pink colours and is highly perishable, which turns brown once peel is removed. In the present study an effort has been made to estimate nutrient content of fresh and blanched pulp of the fruit. The findings revealed its mean protein content to be 12.47g and 11.68g/100g in fresh and blanched fruit samples, respectively, indicating reduction in protein content on blanching. The mean fat content (0.24g/100g) retained on blanching to 0.42g/100g. Mean fiber and ash contents also showed retention on blanching. The content of the two nutrients was 1.30g/100g for fiber and 2.41/100g for ash in un-blanched fruit sample, which were found to be 3.42g and 4.85 g/ 100g, respectively on blanching. The carbohydrate content did not show much change on blanching.

Abstract

Surat is the city where maximum textile industries have been found and it represents flourishing textile industries in State of Gujarat. It occupies a very important place in Indian economy in terms of its share and value added and export earnings. Wastewater discharged from these industries contains a variety of polluting substances and the most common and undesirable is dye. Presence of even < 1 ppm dye is harmful to aquatic and terrestrial life so their removal is the alarming point. Usually the removal of dye can be carried out using physical, chemical, and biological methods. But biological methods are quite impactful. Many studies have reported that the microorganisms are powerful biocatalyst for removal of dye containing wastewater. Present study is based on the biodegradation of Azo dye i.e. Methyl red by the isolate Enterobacter cloacae which was isolated from the textile effluent of Sachin GIDC Surat. These strains was identified by molecular and biochemical methods. Degradation was studied with respect to various factors such as pH, temperature, static and shaking conditions, and different carbohydrate and nitrogen source. Results from this research study showed that dye was significantly degraded around 90 to 95% at the optimal factors i.e. pH 7, Temperature 30̊ C in static condition and with the carbohydrate source glucose and nitrogen source as urea. These data indicates a unique characteristic of the strain useful for the degradation.

Abstract

Secure data transmission could be an important issue for wireless sensing element networks (WSNs). Clustering is an effective and feasible way to inflate the system performance of WSNs. During this paper, we tend to study a secure data transmission for cluster-based WSNs (CWSNs), where the clusters are formulated dynamically and periodically. We propose two secure and economical data transmission (SET) protocols CWSNs, referred to as SET-IBS and SET-IBOOS, by victimization the identity-based digital signature (IBS) theme and also the identity-based online/offline digital signature (IBOOS) theme, severally. In SET-IBS, protection depends on the hardness of the Diffie-Hellman downside within the pairing domain. SETIBOOS any reduces the machine overhead for protocol security that is crucial for WSNs, whereas its security depends on the hardness of the discrete logarithm problem. We show the feasibleness of the SET-IBS and SET-IBOOS protocols with relevance the safety necessities and security analysis against numerous attacks. The calculations and simulations square measure provided as an example the potency of the papered protocols. The results show that the papered protocols have higher performance than the prevailing secure protocols for CWSNs, in terms of protection overhead and energy consumption.

Abstract

Introduction: Herpes Simplex Encephalitis (HSE) is the most common cause of fatal sporadic acute encephalitis occurring worldwide. In India, HSE appears to be under diagnosed, probably due to lack of awareness and lack of diagnostic facilities.

Materials and Methods: A total of 50 CSF samples were tested for HSV IgM antibody using ELISA kit.

Results: Out of 50 CSF samples, 12% were positive for HSV IgM ELISA. Positivity in males was 17.85% while in females was 4.54%. Positivity was higher in adults 13.79% as compared to children 9.52%. All patients presented with complaints of fever along with altered sensorium (100%) following seizures (80%), headache (25%) and vomiting (18%).

Conclusion: HSE is the only form of sporadic encephalitis which has a specific antiviral therapy i.e. acyclovir. Rapid early diagnosis of HSE by ELISA has helped in initiating treatment and helps reduce mortality and morbidity.
