The present study intends to compare and correlate serum & salivary glucose level in healthy & diabetic individuals. A total of 500 subjects were examined, of which 429 were healthy & 71 were confirmed diabetics. Post–prandial blood and salivary samples were analyzed. Mann-Whitney test using Pearson correlation was applied, which was statistically significant (P < .001). To conclude, glucose concentration in saliva is higher in diabetics than in healthy individuals. Moreover the changes in serum glucose concentration are followed by the changes in salivary glucose concentration. Thus saliva can be used as an adjunct diagnostic tool in diabetes mellitus.

Abstract: In the present research work we concentrated on the structure elucidation of new hetero polyacid salts: Zirconium Antimonoarsanotungstate Zr[SbAsW] salt synthesized at variable pH using sol-gel route. An instrumental technique, FTIR was used to assign the structural aspects to the compound. Physical characterization involves the determination of ion exchange capacity and maximum value for this parameter is 0.40mg/eq. Distribution coefficient values showed that the synthesized compound is preferentially selective for Cu2+ ion. Membrane composition where ZrSbAsW was 40% showed linearity in the range of 1.0×10-4 M to 1.0×10-1 M with a slope of 20.0 mV/decade taking 10-1 M as an internal solution. Above instrumental and analytical studies gave a picture of Cu2+ selective electron-active moiety to the synthesized compound.

The effect of La for Ba and Co for Sn substitution on the properties of Barium stanate i.e. solid solution of LaCoO3 with BaSnO3 of the type Ba1-xLaxSn1-xCoxO3 is investigated for x ≤ 0.30.The powders are prepared using high temperature solid state reaction method for composition x ≤ 0.30. The structural investigations of powders are taken at room temperature by powder X-ray diffractometer. XRD pattern of the samples show the formation of single phase material. Seebeck coefficient is almost constant with temperature and material exhibit p-type conduction. DC conductivity increases with the concentration of LaCoO3. Thermally activated small polaron hopping mechanism is the responsible for conduction in these samples.

The education and health are two major components for development of any country. The traditional system of teaching has been replaced with latest technology. The technology is one of the important components for the advancement. The need of technology is also felt in teaching and learning to make it more meaningful. The process of attendance, assignments, homework, evaluation, management and many more issues become easier with the help of technology. The application of technology is not only useful in management but also to control them. The education imparted through interactive whiteboard is also known as Smart classroom. It is one of the important technology-based teaching aids used now-a-days. The studies revealed that the use of smart class room technology in the teaching and learning process is increasing day by day. It enhances the capability, interest, and motivation etc. of both tutor as well as students. Hence, it was felt necessarily to make an attempt to see the difference between academic achievement and its relation with creativity. This paper focuses on the comparison between the students which are studying in the traditional classroom and smart classroom in relation to their creativity and academic achievement. In this study students of VIII standard, aged from 13 to 15 years old were selected. The students were divided into two groups i.e. experimental and control, taught in smart classroom and traditional classroom respectively. The Baqer Mehndi’s verbal test was used to measure creativity. This study measured the academic achievement through researcher’s self-made class test for students. The t-values were used to compare the academic achievement of students studying in smart and traditional classrooms. Pearson’s Coefficient of correlation was used to find out the relation between creativity and academic achievement. It was found that was a significant difference of student’s academic achievement when taught with smart classroom and also found positive relation between academic achievement and creativity.
Keywords: Academic Achievement, Creativity, Smart Classroom technology and Traditional classroom.

The discovery of bacterial-communication systems (quorum-sensing systems), which orchestrate important temporal events during the infection process, has afforded a novel opportunity to ameliorate bacterial infection by means other than growth inhibition. In this study three different assays were performed; Las-A staphylolytic assay, anti-swarming assay, pyocyanin assay. In the anti-swarming activity, the highest anti-swarming activity were seen in the chloroform and petroleum extract of O.fruticosa. In the Las-A activity, the highest reduction in Las-A activity was seen in the chloroform extract of V.sinaiticum (70.5%) and also petroleum extract of V.sinaticum and chloroform extract O.fructicosa (70.3%).In the Pyocyanin assay, the chloroform extract of O.fructicosa and V.sinaiticum showed more significant effect in decreasing the Pyocyanin production by 81.8% and 79.5% respectively.

By Shalinee Jain, Dharmendra Jain Gastroesophagus reflux disease, acidity and hearts burning are the most common problems, which can be overcome by the raft forming in-situ gel system containing combination of H2 antagonist and GABAB antagonist as well as raft forming agents (alginate, pectin etc.). GERD develops when the reflux of the gastric contents occur into the esophagus which cause various complication into GIT. The main cause of GERD is an abnormal lower esophageal sphincter (LES) pressure and increased reflux during transient LES relaxation. This review mainly focus on the formulation development for reducing the transient lower esophageal sphincter relaxation (TLESR) rate, attenuating esophageal sensitivity and developing esophageal mucosal protectants. For this purpose GABAB is used which reduces TLESR rate by 40-50% and reflux episodes by 70%, also increase LES pressure and H2 antagonist is used as antisecretory agent in terms of symptomatic relief and mucosal healing. The combined effect of raft forming gelling system is more effective. The review also focuses on the physiological factors, physicochemical factors and formulation factors to be considered in the development of the raft forming system.

By Ashish Bhatt, Rajesh Kumar Singh, Ravi Kant A new class of 1,3,4-thiadiazole derivatives 8a-i incorporating imidazo [1,2-b] pyridazine and thiazolidinone moieties were synthesized by the reaction of arylidene derivatives of 1,3,4-thiadiazoles 2-amine having imidazo [1,2-b] pyridazine moiety (Schiff base) 7a-i with thioglycolic acid. Schiff base 7a-i were synthesized by the reaction of 1,3,4-thiadiazoles 2-amine having imidazo [1,2-b] pyridazine moiety 6 with substituted benzaldehyde. These were screened for in-vitro antimicrobial activity against two gram positive (Streptococcus Pyogenes and Staphylococcus aureus) and two gram negative bacteria (Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Escherichia coli) as well as for antifungal and antimalarial activity against plasmodium falciparum strain. Compound 8a and 8b exhibited good antimicrobial and antimalarial activity.

By Surajit Baksi, Mukandar Khan, Mamta Panchal, Nirav Rao Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a biopolysacharride present in connective tissues of body. It has high significant economic concern due to its high use in medical, cosmetic and food industries. It is present in several resources like rooster combs, eye and umbilical cord. Due to its good chemical and physical properties, it is used in ophthalmic and osteoarthritic surgeries. Presently, it is produced from animal and bacterial sources. But, the percentage yield is very less at large scale. In present study, effort was done to increase yield of HA from Streptococcus zooepidemicus, through modification of the fermentation and extraction process. The cell concentration and HA concentration was measured which showed that HA concentration increased with induced pH stress.
