Polycyclic Aromatics Hydrocarbons and Organochlorine Pesticides in the Environment: Sources, Routes, Effects, and Fate

Persistence Organic Pollutants (POPs) contamination of sediment, soil, and groundwater is one of the major threats to environmental and human health due to their toxic effects. Thus, this short review is aimed at evaluating the sources, exposure routes, effects, and the fate of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) in the environment. As useful as these chemicals may be, their adverse effects on human health and the total environment are of grievous concerns. With the adverse effects, have serious health concerns.

E. coli BL21 Bacterial and Newcastle Pestikal lasota Viral Ghosts Preparation, DNA/RNA Elimination/Purification/Isolation/ Quantification Using Agarose Gel Entrapment Bubble Method

Sponge like protocol is a new protocol able to turn most microbes including viruses to empty cells or empty envelops. The original protocol guarantees full evacuation, however, in some cases it need a validation. In this study, simple tools are described to separate the genetic constituents of both partially prepared E. coli BL21 and Newcastle Pestikal lasota strain ghosts. The used methods describe the preparation of entrapment bubble (in the agarose gel) as a proposed step for separating the genetic materials from the other constituents. That might solve some technical problems particularly during the virus ghost preparation.

Effect of Various Seed Priming Methods on Germination Characteristics of Black Gram

Black gram despite being one of the major grain legumes in the mid-hills of Nepal, poor germination is a problem in its cultivation. Seed priming is an accepted technique to improve seed germination. An experiment was therefore, conducted to study effect of priming using various priming agents on germination characteristics of Black gram.

Cloning, Expression, and Purification of the rE2 Protein Human Papillomavirus type 16

Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is the most common sexually transmitted disease, both in men and women, and the persistence of this infection is the main causative agent of cervical-uterine cancer. HPV 16 protein E2 is important in viral replication and transcription. For this reason, it is of utmost importance to have a reliable method of expression and purification of recombinant E2 (rE2) proteins to carry out experiments focused on the development of drugs against HPV.

Effect of Fermented Millet Flour Ibyer Supplemented with Ginger Powder on Hematological indices and Body Weight of Wister Albino Rats

In this study, fermented millet flour supplemented with ginger powder were formulated in the ratio 100% millet flour: 0% ginger flour, 95% millet flour:5% ginger flour, 90% millet flour:10% ginger flour, 85% millet flour:15% ginger flour, 80% millet flour:20% ginger flour, 75% millet flour: 25% ginger flour, and 70% millet flour:30% ginger flour respectively for the production of “Ibyer”. The blends were subjected to feeding trial using male wistar albino rats of 3 weeks old, weighing 100g to 130g obtained.

A Model to Study the Inhibition of Arginase II with Noscapine & Its Derivatives

Background and Purpose Nitrate tolerance can be explained based on the reduction of the vessel responsiveness and the same is used for endogenous vasodilator Nitric Oxide (NO). There are some limitations for the treatment of ischaemia, angina etc. and it attracted the scientists and researchers. The location of arginase II is endothelial cells in mitochondria and it is used to change the potency of endothelial nitric oxide synthase.
