English0109Deepak S. HowaleEnglish L. K. JainEnglish Neha VijayEnglish Savita ChoudharyEnglishA measurement of the relative amount of the jaw, expressed in terms of ratio of distance from the nasion to the basion (arbitrarily taken as 100) to the distance from the basion to middle point of the alveolar process called as gnathic index means angle of projection of face indicates presence of orthognathism or prognathism1 Facial angle is distance between nasion to the ogonion intersected by horizontal line of Frankfurt. Facial angle indicates position of chin2 When comparing skulls of different races and species, physical anthropologist makes use of measurements and indices which gives numerical expressions to certain features of the skulls. This constitutes craniometry which is the part of an anthropometry. 3 Seventy five dried skull collected from different part of Maharashtra were measured to determined the gnathic index & facial angle.Gnathic index were classified by the method of Montagu (1960). 4 Average basion-nasion height were found to be 9.71 cm and maximum & minimum were observed to be 10.3 cm and 9.2 cm respectively. Average basion- prosthion height was found to be 9.01 cm and maximum & minimum were observed to be 10.0 cm and 8.2 cm respectively. Average gnathic index (mean ± SD) was 92.67±4.02 & S.E. 0.46. Average facial angle were found 870. Maximum & minimum were observed to be 890 and 850 respectively. In our study most of the skulls were grouped under the Orthognathous (94.66%) when based on Montagu 2 & Comas 3 .

English1024Meeta Amit BurandeEnglish Amit BurandeEnglishIntroduction: Stem cells are pluripotent cells that differentiate and proliferate in desired manner while nanoparticles are the particles of nanometer size used in various applications. Nanoparticles and stem cells interaction i.e. stem cell nanotechnology has opened the innovative area of research and applications in medical sciences. Objective: In this review, we aimed to research pharmacology of nanoparticles i.e. nanodrugs in stem cells. Method: We searched Google scholar, Pubmed, Medline, and other online as well as offline data base with key words of stem cells, nanoparticle, nanotechnology and nanopharmaceutics to retrieve the data. Articles were further sorted out regarding the availability of information. Only those articles, which were available by open access either full paper or abstract or both were included in the review. Result & Conclusion: We conclude that stem cell nanotechnology is newest area of study in pharmacology. Different pharmacodynmic and pharmacokinetic aspect of nanoparticles as nanodrug should be explored before their inclusion on wide scale. These data warrant the establishment of Stem Cell Nanophrmaceutics as new branch of pharmacology to deal with nanodrugs and stem cells.

English2530Suresh SukumarEnglish Sushil YadavEnglish Afra IsmailEnglishIn today’s world of rapidly changing medical technology, it is important to maintain quality Diagnostic information for Medical Professionals. However, it is equally important to minimize patient and personnel radiation exposure risks. This article will review the evolution of X – Ray equipment’s and the corresponding quality assurance program requirements; including quality control tests, and the test tools used to follow the guidelines set forth by AERB. These guidelines must be maintained by Medical Facilities across the Country in order to continually provide patients the quality medical information they expect, and minimum radiation dose they deserve. X – Ray equipment’s has made rapid developments within the past 10 years, and continues to be an integral part of the field of radiologic special imaging. Quality assurance testing assures periodic performance testing of the of X – Ray equipment’s and comparison to standards.

English3139Meenakshi VermaEnglish Nisha KamathEnglish Nitesh KumarEnglish Venkata rao JEnglish Dhanaraj S. A.English Vasanth Raj PEnglishMacaranga Peltata belonging to Euphorbiaceae family is widely distributed in south east Asia. The plant parts leaves and stem bark were separated, shade dried and extracted separately using methanol. The concentrated methanolic extracts of Macaranga Peltata were subjected to phytochemical analysis and antioxidant evaluation by four different methods. The percentage yield of the leaves and stem bark were found to be 47% and 30% respectively. The antioxidant activity of the plant was carried out using four methods viz., DPPH free radical scavenging activity, Nitric Oxide radical inhibition Assay, Scavenging of Superoxide radical by Alkaline DMSO method and ABTS free radical scavenging activity. Stem Bark extract showed IC50 value of 10.13, 9.77 by DPPH and ABTS methods respectively. Leaf extract showed IC50 value of 14.85 for DPPH Assay and 7.61 for ABTS method. But both Stem Bark and Leaf extract showed very good activity for NBT Assay and nitric oxide radical inhibition activity and their IC50 values were very close to the Standard anti-oxidants ascorbic acid and Rutin.
