The study was conducted on the physicochemical characteristics of six brands of edible soybean oils including Non-brand (Open) soybean oil, Muskan, Pusti, Teer, Fresh and Rupchanda soybean oils. A significant difference in the moisture content (P< 0.05) was observed in the different brands of soybean oil. Rupchanda soybean oil possesses maximum saponification value (230) whereas open soybean oil showed minimum value (200). The iodine value of investigated oils also differed significantly. Highest iodine value (110.2) found in the Rupchanda soybean oil though it has not embraced the standard value (124-139) sated by Codex Alimentarius. All the soybean oil revealed preferred level of acid value except Muskan brand. The Pusti and Teer brands of soybean oil indicated maximum Reichert-Meissl value which means that they contain maximum volatile fatty acids compared to others. Although the highest per-oxide value 7.5 milliequivalents of active oxygen/kg oil found in the open soybean oil but it does not exceed the standard level. The unsaponifiable matter of the - Open oil, Muskan, Pusti, Teer, Fresh and Rupchanda soybean oils were 0.08, 0.06, 0.07, 0.04, 0.05 and 0.05 percent respectively. Considering the significance of above parameters Rupchanda is better than others soybean oil for human health. 

In last recent years the incidence of peptic ulcer disease has been decreased due to use of aciddecreasing drugs that are effectively used in healing most of the ulcers. As a result, the use of elective surgery have been declined, but it is indicated for some cases of undetermined diagnosis and refractory ulcers. The need for surgery has reduced due to development of alternative treatment methods such as endoscopy and angioembolization. In cases of gastric outlet obstruction and bleeding ulcers the treatment of endoscopy therapy resulted in high degree of success. For selected cases of bleeding ulcers angioembolization is preferred. When these procedures fail to heal the haemorrhages of peptic ulcer, surgery is recommended. As nonoperative treatment cannot be considered as standard care, surgery is indicated in patients with perforated peptic ulcer. Eradication of Helicobacter pylori and avoidance of NSAIDs is enough for closure of perforation. Before deciding any conservative treatment the gastric ulcer must be biopsied to rule out malignancy. 

Societal values are polysemous and its dimensions are imported into advertising to give it rich content. The polysemous character makes it sensitive and complex phenomena. For instance, value that is acceptable in the western part of Nigeria may be unacceptable in the north or east. This clearly implies that value, although may be of the people, is relative and subjective. This study made use of survey research design with a single research question set to guide it. Data was collected from 362 respondents which were purposively selected in the study area (Lagos State, Nigeria) as sample size. Data gathering was done on the field with the aid of questionnaire and analyzed with descriptive statistics. Specifically, a Table of frequency and percentage distribution was employed and scoring of variables was done vis-à-vis the responses of the consumers of staple commodities to look at the extent to which societal values have influenced product advertisements in the State. The Mean and standard deviation was calculated. The result of the study presented in Table 1 shows that all the societal values scoped for this study (culture, moral, religion, taste, language and colour) influence consumers in one way or the other but the portrayal of religious design concept to influence consumers to patronize staple commodities ranked best of all. The study observed that of all the societal values traceable to advertising campaign in Lagos State, religion-inclined advertising designs are gaining a rising number of influences. It therefore concludes that religious and cultural designs, when appropriately applied help outdoor advertising to thrive well in Lagos State. 

In the present investigation, the pollens of two cytotypes of Urginea indica Kunth were used to evaluate the genotoxic effects of a food additive, Monosodium Glutamate (MSG). At the higher concentration treatment of MSG, the pollen morphology of both the cytotypes was reported to show significant variations when compared to control. Moreover, the percentage pollen fertility decreased with the increase in concentrations. The result thus, revealed the genotoxic and mutagenic properties of Monosodium Glutamate on cytotypes of Urginea indica Kunth.
