Background: Sneha Kalpana is one among the several highly established Kalpana of Ayurvedic system of medicine. Many types of Taila Kalpana are mentioned in Ayurvedic classics and used effectively in therapeutic practice. Tila Taila is the most commonly using Taila. However Narikelataila, Erandataila, Sarshapataila, etc, are also used in special conditions. It is interesting to note that certain preparations are available in the market based on both TilaTaila and Narikela Taila. This is an attempt to comparatively evaluate the formulation Dhutturadi Taila prepared in Tila Taila and Narikela Taila as the bases. Dhutturadi Taila mentioned in Sahasrayogam is taken for the present study. Objectives: To comparatively analyse Dhutturadi Taila samples with classical and advanced analytical techniques. Materials and Methods: Dhutturadi Taila was prepared using two media i.e. Narikela Taila and Tila Taila. Both Taila samples were comparatively analysed with suitable physicochemical parameters and advanced instrumental methods of analysis. Conclusion: As per the existing result it seems that more amount of marker components are extracted into Tila Taila medium when compared with Narikela Taila.

ABSTRACT Objective of the study: To the develop standard operative procedures of Bhagandharahara lepa and change the form of Bhagandharahara lepa into the form of the Hydrogel. To comparatively analysis Bhagandharahara lepa and its pharmaceutically modified form of Hydrogel with classical and advanced analytical techniques. Methods: Pharmaceutical study: Bhagandharahara lepa and its modified form as a Hydrogel is prepared with standard household parameters. Analytical study: Comparative analysis of both Bhagandharahara lepa and its modified form as a Hydrogel will be comparatively analysed with suitable physicochemical parameters and advanced instrumental methods of analysis. Results: In Stability evaluation of BHL, classically prepared lepa got decomposed next day with foul smell and become darker mustard field in colour, so lepa (wet form) stability remains within 24 hrs. and here physical and chemical stability of dried form of lepa churna is good throughout 3 months of period and in Stability evaluation of BHG prepared hydrogel Light Ochre in colour with easily spreading and physicochemical parameters also like homogeneity and extrudability, viscosity, pH, irritancy test, melting point within limit there is no any major changes throughout the stability period 3 months. So Bhagandharahara Hydrogel is almost remained stable till 3 months. Conclusions: As lepa is having shorter shelf life, it cannot be preserved to longer time, so in this study its modification to Hydrogel form facilitates a longer shelf life. Due to some special features of Hydrogel like extrudability, spreadability, viscosity, pH, homogeneity it is easy to apply to the target site.

AbstractWith exquisite design and unique style, the painted sculptures of Tutang Buddha and two attendants Buddha in Jingyin Temple are precious cultural heritages of China. The sculpture of Tutang Buddha, which was carved from a mound and painted by ancient craftsmen, was rarely found in ancient China. However, due to natural and human factors, the sculptures were severely damaged. Obviously, they require urgent and appropriate protection and restoration. In this study, samples taken from the sculptures were analysed through multiple analytical techniques, including scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive spectrometry (SEM–EDS), Raman spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), optical microscopy (OM) and granulometry. The analysis results enable us to infer the techniques used by the craftsmen in making the sculptures and provide a reliable evidence for the conservation and future protection of these and similar sculptures.

A PROPOSITION FOR TEACHING LABORATORY OF QUALITATIVE ANALYTICAL CHEMISTRY. Teaching laboratory of qualitative analytical chemistry is still a controversial issue in chemistry courses. However, important researchers and educators in chemistry recognized and highlighted the importance that the contents of this discipline represent in the formation of chemists, once it can provide handling and understanding of microscopic phenomena based on the observation of their macroscopic effects, once such reactions and phenomena are the basis of important instrumental methods of analysis. Thus, a proposal based on a bottom-up approach has been developed, starting with the observation of different reactions of cations in laboratory, followed by a search for the reaction responsible for each resulting phenomenon observed during the experimental step. Then these reactions are related with the separation procedures of each group of cations. Eventually the separation of these groups can also be performed depending on the time available. The proposal has been applied in teaching laboratory of qualitative analytical chemistry at Instituto de Química de São Carlos/USP since 2015, where the discipline is offered duirng 4 hours/week, and a positive feedback regarding the evolution of the methodology and its acceptance by students. Good results were also obtained concerning the appropriation of the contents by the students, using the proposal.

AbstractThe recent development of the analytical techniques offers the unprecedented possibility to study simultaneously concentration of dozens of elements in the same biological matrix sample of 0.5–1.0 g (multielement profiles). The first part of this essay entitled “Think globally… An outline of trace elements in health and disease” aims to introduce the reader to the fascinating field of elements, there importance to our nutrition, their essentiality, deficiency, toxicity and bioavailability to the body and their overall role in health and disease, including the genetic metabolic impairments. In the second part of the essay entitled “… and act locally. The multielement profile of depression” we aimed to show the potential of such a hair multielement profile analysis for the study of human depression in a randomized, double blind, prospective, observational, cross-sectional, clinical, epidemiological, and analytical study. The preliminary results of this ongoing study lead us to put forward the hypothesis that the metabolic origin of depression may be due to some “energostat” failure, probably located in the thalamus, and activated by several essential element deficiencies.
