    Extrapolation of post-harvest soil test values in barnyard millet-based cropping sequence through multivariate analysis

    The soil test value is based on the soil test-based fertilizer prescription/ recommendation equation. Each crop harvesting after the next crop is necessary to analyze the soil. Therefore, it is necessary to develop an alternative technique to predict postharvest soil tests after the harvest of every crop. For that a study was conducted in mixed black calcareous soils at Tamil Nadu agricultural University, Coimbatore to develop the post-harvest prediction equations for available nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium in barnyard millet cropping sequence based on a multiple regression model by considering post-harvest soil test value as the dependent variable and initial available nutrients, fertilizer doses and crop yield or crop nutrient uptake as an independent variables. The developed model was validated by computing R2 value, RMSE (root means square error), RE (relative error), and the ratio of performance to deviation (RPD) and the developed model was found to be valid.  Using the validated model, post-harvest soil test values were predicted. A fertilizer recommendation was made for blackgram based on predicted post-harvest soil test values in the barnyard millet-blackgram cropping sequence. The predicted soil test values were compared with actual soil test values and it revealed that the developed model is fairly accurate and best-fitted with more precision. The predicted post-harvest soil test values of barnyard millet could be used in order to prescribe fertilizer for desired yield targets for subsequent crops

    Diversity of regulatory T cells in various immuno-physiological conditions

    Background: Regulatory T cells (Tregs) play an active role in abrogating immune responses during microbial infections and are thus essential to maintain immune homeostasis and self-tolerance. Aberrant expression of Tregs can lead to spectrum of manifestations from allergy, chronic infections to immunopathological conditions such as autoimmunity and cancer. It is critical to have a clear understanding about the Tregs biology before attempting any possible interventions in humans. This study was undertaken to analyze the differential expression of Tregs in various physiological conditions.Methods: Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were extracted from normal human subjects (n=30), pregnant females (n=10), cord blood (n=10) and patients with various immunopathological conditions such as cancer (newly diagnosed non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, n=10), autoimmune conditions such as (type 1 diabetes mellitus-T1DM, Hashimoto’s disorder, and other autoimmune disorders, n=10 each) and in donor grafts (n=10) following allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant. Flow cytometry was performed to detect CD4+CD25+FOXP3+Tregs and CD4+CD25+CD127dim/-Tregs.Results: The levels of Tregs was found to be were significantly higher in cord blood from newborn infants, patients with T1DM and Hashimoto’s disorder. In addition, the difference in Tregs level in pregnant females, patients with stem cell transplants, non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma and other autoimmune disorders were not significant.Conclusions: Till date, no comparative study was available about the status of Tregs population in normal and different physiological conditions from India. This is the first preliminary quantitative analysis of association of Tregs with different disorders. A clear cognizance of Tregs biology among various physiological conditions will be vital for targeting of these cells for any possible therapeutic modalities

    Chemotherapy of malaria. VI. Quinolylsulphones

    Get PDF
    Twenty-one aryquinolylsulphones described in the table have been prepared by reacting the chloroquinolines with substituted arylsulphinic acids. The 4-chloroquinolines furnish the sulphones very readily and these sulphones are easily hydrolysed to the corresponding 4-hydroxyquinolines. These compounds do not show any activity when tested for their prophylactic activity in mosquitoes againstPlasmodium gallinaceum infection

    Influence of anti-epileptic drugs on hematological and biochemical parameters in patients with epilepsy

    Get PDF
    Background: Epilepsy is a chronic neurological condition which may require long-term treatment with antiepileptic drugs (AEDs). The challenge in AED management is to attain freedom from seizures, without side-effects and with good quality-of-life. However, AEDs are reported to induce potential adverse effects, which can remain unnoticed over long time. In this regard, earlier studies report inconsistent results in hematological and biochemical toxicity of AEDs. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the effects of AED monotherapy and polytherapy on hematological and biochemical parameters.Methods: This was a cross-sectional, observational study carried out among patients with epilepsy (PWE) receiving AEDs. The data on baseline demographic characteristics, treatment, adverse drug reactions, hematological, and biochemical investigations were collected. Statistical analysis was performed using the SPSS version 18 and descriptive statistics such as mean and median were used to summarize the data and inferential tests like Chi-square was used to compare categorical variables between groups.Results: There were 255 PWE in mean age range of 28.68±9.29 years, with 56.54% males. A total of 78.04% had focal, 18.04% had generalized seizures and remaining 3.92% were unclassified. Majority of (55.69%) PWE received polytherapy with AEDs. Females had significantly lower levels of hemoglobin (Hb) when compared with males (p=0.000), and patients on AED polytherapy showed significant difference in low Hb (p=0.006) and high alkaline phosphatase (ALP) levels (p=0.001).Conclusions: The results of this study showed significant alterations in the levels of Hb and ALP with the use of AED polytherapy in PWE. Routine hematological and biochemical investigations may be considered during AED treatment in those patients receiving AED polytherapy
