  • Synthetic polymer nano-film coating efficacy evaluation in prevention of chemicals induced corrosion of monuments

    One of the most notable adverse effects of acidifying air quality is damage to materials exposed to the atmosphere. Systematic fields and laboratory experiments have been done to understand the mechanisms underlying the impacts of pollutants on the measurement of damage and estimate the cost of damage. In this study, authors have synthesized nano polymer film, which is transparent, resistant to acids and flexible. The as-synthesized nano polymer film was characterized using UV-Visible Spectroscopy, FTIR Spectroscopy and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). Coating of the nano polymer film was done onto various monuments stone samples and studied their corrosion in the presence of acids.

  • Chemical composition and additive inhibitory activity of combination of Mentha piperita, Cinnamonum vernum & Jasminum officinale essential oils as an alternative therapy against Dermatophytosis

    Chemical composition and additive inhibitory activity of combination of Mentha piperita, Cinnamonum vernum & Jasminum officinale essential oils as an alternative therapy against Dermatophytosis

    The antifungal potential of Peppermint, Cinnamon & Jasmine essential oils alone and in combination, against common causes of superficial fungal infections in humans was investigated via in-vitro investigations, in order to determine a suitable dosage for use in clinical trials. Antimycotic activity of three plant derived Essential oils (EOs) namely Mentha piperita, Cinnamonum vernum & Jasminum officinale were evaluated against Trichophyton equinum and Microsporum canis, causative agent of zoonotic dermatophytosis by Disc diffusion method alone and in mixture and further determination of Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) by modified Microdilution method. Chemical compositions of M.piperita, C.vernum & J. officinale essential oil were determined by Gas chromatography Mass spectrometry (GC-MS). In M.piperita essential oil, thirteen compounds, C.vernum, ten compounds and J. officinale, fifteen compounds were identified by GC-MS. The excellent antidermatophytic activity of mixture of oils was found against M.canis & T.equinum as compared to single oils and standard drugs used. The results concluded that the combination of three essential oils showed remarkable and excellent inhibitory activity against fungal pathogens and can be used as an alternative topical therapy for the treatment of dermatophytosis after undergoing clinical trials and also regarded as an environmentally safe mode of diseases control.

  • Association of C-peptide with novel hormones in children with type 1 diabetes: A rising potentials for more reliable biomarkers.

    Association of C-peptide with novel hormones in children with type 1 diabetes: A rising potentials for more reliable biomarkers.

    Type 1 diabetes is a heterogeneous disorder caused by reduced β-cell mass as a result of T-cell mediated autoimmune destruction. C-peptide is a linker chain cleaved from proinsulin to produce the mature, functional insulin hormone. Irisin is a novel adipo-myokine plays a crucial role in glucose homeostasis regulation. Preptin is a peptide hormone synthesized in β-cells and plays a role in augmenting insulin secretion. The current study aims to investigate preptin and irisin levels in diabetic children and determine their correlation with C-peptide and the development of this disease. This study recruited 90 children, divided into two groups: 45 patients and 45 controls. Commercial ELISA kits were used to measure C-peptide, irisin, and preptin. C-peptide levels were significantly decreased among the patients’ group (P<0.05). Preptin and irisin levels were significantly increased in the patients’ group (P<0.05). C-peptide was noticeably correlated with preptin, irisin and RBS (P <0.05). Preptin and irisin levels also had a positive correlation with RBS (P<0.05). In regression analysis, irisin had a strong association with C-peptide. In conclusion, irisin was a considerable predictive marker for the residual β-cells through its association with preptin and C-peptide in regression analysis. Preptin might be an indicator of insulin resistance.
