AbstractEdible insects have been considering as a rich resource of high-quality protein and lipid content and at the same time a low-cost nutritious resource acquiring the least expenditure during farming, breeding, rearing and harvesting. On the other hand, organic solvent consumptions in industrial areas need to be limited; being flammable by environmental hazards. That is why seeking for alternative non-toxic solvents is highly substantial. In this study ethanol-aqueous extraction method applied at three different levels to find the optimum yield of edible oil extracted of Homoptera Cicadidae Magicicada, a seasonal insect residing underground, which is consuming locally as a whole meal. These levels set using Design of expert software to variables as pH, ethanol-concentration and solvent/sample ratio and the maximum yield extracted respectively at 6, 50 and 5, by the yield of 19.5%, that is comparable to oil extracted by conventional hexane oil extraction method at 27%. Fatty acids profile of recent method and hexane extraction method analyzed using GC-MS method and the physicochemical properties of either alternative method investigated. The results were on the standard ranges. Fatty acid profile of HCM was for the most part consisted of oleic acid, following by palmitic and linoleic acid 66.5, 19.2 and 7.8 respectively in hexane extraction method and 66.3, 17.7 and 9.5 in ethanol aqueous extraction method. The Iodine Value of HCM oil was noticeably high which introduces a medicinal applicatory besides the rich amount of MUFAs and PUFAs essential oils that are well-known for their incredible health benefits.

Agarwood Oil

This experiment was conducted to bring in a suitable and economic agarwood oil extraction method for Agar tree (Aquilaria agollocha) growers in Bangladesh. Agarwood was collected from Fotikchori upazila of Chittagong district and a prototype of hydro-distillation extraction chamber was developed at the lab of Department of Farm Power and Machinery, Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh, Bangladesh during January to March 2013. Using the prototype, 7 ml of agarwood oil was extracted from 15 kg matured agarwood. It was found from the calculation that the developed system can bring yearly benefit of Tk. 7,78,389 with benefit-cost ratio as 2.33. This development was, therefore, proven very beneficial for Bangladeshi agar tree growers. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/jbau.v12i1.21407 J. Bangladesh Agril. Univ. 12(1): 167-170, June 2014

The burden of Parkinson’s disease (PD) continues to grow at an unsustainable pace particularly given that it now represents the fastest growing brain disease. Despite seminal discoveries in genetics and pathogenesis, people living with PD oftentimes wait years to obtain an accurate diagnosis and have no way to know their own prognostic fate once they do learn they have the disease. Currently, there is no objective biomarker to measure the onset, progression, and severity of PD along the disease continuum. Without such tools, the effectiveness of any given treatment, experimental or conventional cannot be measured. Such tools are urgently needed now more than ever given the rich number of new candidate therapies in the pipeline. Over the last decade, millions of dollars have been directed to identify biomarkers to inform progression of PD typically using molecular, fluid or imaging modalities). These efforts have produced novel insights in our understanding of PD including mechanistic targets, disease subtypes and imaging biomarkers. While we have learned a lot along the way, implementation of robust disease progression biomarkers as tools for quantifying changes in disease status or severity remains elusive. Biomarkers have improved health outcomes and led to accelerated drug approvals in key areas of unmet need such as oncology. Quantitative biomarker measures such as HbA1c a standard test for the monitoring of diabetes has impacted patient care and management, both for the healthcare professionals and the patient community. Such advances accelerate opportunities for early intervention including prevention of disease in high-risk individuals. In PD, progression markers are needed at all stages of the disease in order to catalyze drug development—this allows interventions aimed to halt or slow disease progression, very early, but also facilitates symptomatic treatments at moderate stages of the disease. Recently, attention has turned to the role of digital health technologies to complement the traditional modalities as they are relatively low cost, objective and scalable. Success in this endeavor would be transformative for clinical research and therapeutic development. Consequently, significant investment has led to a number of collaborative efforts to identify and validate suitable digital biomarkers of disease progression.

The simultaneously co-production of Poly-β-hydroxybutyrate (PHB) and ectoine in a process (PHB/Ect co-production) and co-products extraction have great significant for reducing the manufacture cost and promoting industrialization of PHB and ectoine. The pure aqueous extraction method based on osmotic downshock was used for the extraction of PHB/Ect co-products byH. salina. The effects of osmotic pressure, extraction temperature and extraction time on the extraction rate of PHB were investigated. The ectoine was extracted and purified by the techniques of hollow fiber and ion exchange. The optimal conditions for PHB extraction were osmotic downshock in pure water, extraction temperature at 60 °C and extraction for 4 h. The extraction rate of PHB was 87.5%. The extraction rate of ectoine was 84.2%.

ECG equipment is vital for diagnosis of cardiac problems. However, such equipment come from the rich Western countries at a huge cost in both procurement and maintenance, and therefore cannot offer services to a large population in the Third World countries. The only solution is to design and develop such equipment in individual countries by developing local expertise. With three decades of experience, the Dhaka University group has taken a step towards developing prototypes of ECG equipment for dissemination to the healthcare service providers. This paper presents the detailed design of an PC based ECG equipment where optimized choice of components and of the design have been made keeping the cost and maintenance in view, but not sacrificing the quality, and incorporating necessary safety features to protect the patient from known hazards. Both the hardware and the software have been developed locally and are detailed in this paper. Outputs obtained from human subjects are shown which are of reasonable good quality, and have been verified using standard ECG equipment. The PC based ECG system will allow digital post processing of signals for improved diagnosis through software. Besides, this can also become part of a nationwide telemedicine system.

In this study, different oil extraction processes, such as extrusion pretreatment, ultrasound-ethanol assisted demulsification and traditional hexane extraction of oil, were employed to extract oil from soybean in order to compare their different effects on oil quality, fatty acid distribution and VE content of oil. The result shows that the quality of oil from extrusion pretreatment aqueous enzyme extraction (EAEP) of oil and ultrasound-ethanol assisted demulsification aqueous enzyme extraction of oil were same. The raw oil quality from the above two processes was better than the hexane extraction of oil. The fatty acid contents of oil were similar in different oil extraction processes. The VE content of oil from ultrasound-ethanol assisted demulsification process was decreased, while the extrusion pretreatment aqueous enzyme extraction of oil had no influence on VE concentration.

Plasmodium falciparum, the agent of malignant malaria, is one of mankind's most severe scourges, mainly in the tropic world. Efforts to develop preventive vaccines or remedial drugs are handicapped by the parasite's rapid evolution of drug resistance. Here, we presented an advance work on examination of antimalarial component from marine life of Xestospongia sp., the study is based on hexane extraction method. The premier result, we obtained five fractions. Among these five fractions, the fourth has the most potent inhibitory against the growth of P. falciparum 3D7 with an IC50: 7.13 µg/mL. A compiled spectrum analysis, FTIR, 1H-NMR and GC-MS, revealed that the fourth fraction consisted abundantly of two secondary metabolites such as flavonoids and triterpenoids. Finally, our results suggest a plausible structure rooted to the base of ibuprofen.
