 Traditional medicines derived from medicinal plants are used by about 60 per cent world population. Diabetes is an important human ailment officiating many from various walk of life in different countries including India. It providing to a major health problem, especially in the urban area: Gymnema sylvestre R.Br. (Asclepiadaceae) is a herb distributed throughout the world. The leaves of the plant are widely used for the treatment of diabetes and as diuretic in India proprietary medicine. G. sylvestre, an Ayurvedic herb, came to be known as “destroyer of sugar” because, in ancient times, Ayurvedia physicians observed that chewing a few leaves of G. sylvestre suppressed the taste of sugar. It is used totally all over India for controlling blood sugar. Several bio-active compounds have been isolated from the herb for diabetes care. It is believed to be used in dyspepsia, constipation, jaundice, haemorrhoids, cardiopathy, asthma, bronchitis and leucoderma. A scrutiny of literature revealed some notable pharmacological activities of the plant such as anti diabetic, antiobesity, hypolipidaemic, antimicrobial, free radical scavenging and anti-inflammatory. The present review is an attempton various ethanobotanical and traditional uses, phytochemical and pharmacological approaches of G. sylvestre .

Oxytocin: A Potential Novel Therapeutic Agent in Treatment of Autism

http://www.bmrjournals.com/journals/Manuscript/82/Oxytocin--A-potential-novel-therapeutic-agent-in-treatment-of-autism

May 20, 2014 · Volume 1 Issue 1

 Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) are neurodevelopmental disorders characterized by varying deficits in social interactions, communication, and learning, as well as stereotypic behaviors. Despite the significant increasing rates of ASD during the last two decades, there are few clues for its exact pathogenesis, delaying early detection and effective intervention. Thus, identifying causes and treatments is imperative. So far, there are no known efficacious treatments for the core social symptoms, although effects on repetitive behaviors are indicated with some data. During the past decade oxytocin (OT) research has shown a major upsurge. The beneficial roles of OT on social functioning raise the question regarding its potential usefulness in ASD management. If clinical application of OT in the treatment of ASD proves successful then it may introduce a new hope for afflicted individuals and their families. Fortunately pioneering clinical studies support this notion; however, more research should go on to resolve issues concerning clear mechanisms by which OT modulates social behavior before its real introduction for clinical application. Also probable adverse affects must be thoroughly investigated to ensure safe treatment outcomes.

 Vermicomposting technology is one of the best options available for the treatment of organics-rich solid wastes. In which earth worm converts biodegradable garbage into high quality manure and plays a key role in soil biology and they serve as versatile natural bioreactors to harness energy and destroy soil pathogens. The worms feed voraciously on all biodegradable wastes. There is an instance of chemical toxicity among non target organisms like earthworms etc, in agricultural lands due to pollution of chemical companies and factories. In the present investigation vermicomposting ability of earthworms Eudrilus eugeniae were measured experimentally by exposing in moist leaf litter with Aluminium. The morphological changes observed during the exposure of animals were observed in laboratory conditions and appears to impair the different stages of reproductive cycle of the worms thereby resulting in the onset of reduced vermicomposting ability of the earthworm.

http://www.bmrjournals.com/journals/Manuscript/42/Effects-of-Aluminium-Chloride-on-the-Histology-of-Cerebellum-of-Wistar-Rats

March 17, 2014 · Volume 1 Issue 1

 Aluminium compounds are used in pharmaceuticals and in water treatment processes. Exposure to aluminium is inevitable in this modern life. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the possible effects that aluminium chloride could have on the histology of the cerebellum of Wistar rats. Ten Wistar rats were used for this study; and they were divided into two groups. Group I was the control that received distilled water only while group II received 40mg/kg of aluminium chloride for duration of four weeks. After four weeks of administration of aluminium chloride except for the group I that received distilled water only, the Wistar rats were humanly sacrificed and brain tissues removed, fixed in Bouin’s fluid, processed and stain in Haematoxylin and Eosin. The slides were viewed under the light microscope fitted to a digital camera and Laptop. Our observations showed Purkinje cell loss in the aluminium treated group when compared with the control. We therefore conclude that aluminium chloride had neuro-degenerating effects on the cerebellum of Wistar rats as eminent in the Purkinje cell loss.
