No full textGOAT RUMINAL ARTERY IS MORE SELECTIVE TO EXOGENOUS NITRIC OXIDE DONORS THAN ENDOGENOUS NITRIC OXIDE
No full textThis study was conducted to study the property of goat ruminal artery towards the exogenous nitric oxidedonor SIN-1 and endogenous nitric oxide generator acetylcholine in NA, 10µM induced contraction. The isolated ruminal arterial rings of goat with intact endothelium were perfused in organ bath and isometric contraction was studied. (1) Noradrenalin (NA), 10µM produced a potent vasotonic response with threshold concentration and Emax3×10-7M and 3×10-5M, respectively (2) 3-morpholinosydnonimine (SIN-1) produced significant relaxation
(Emax= 38.31±7.48, EC50=2.54 µM, n=6) than acetylcholine (ACh) (Emax= 70.21±5.49, EC50 max= 30.24 µM, n=9). (3) L-Arginine preincubation found to have no significant effect (Emax= 32.34±2.72, n=6) on SIN-I induced relaxation. Similarly L-NAME had no effect. But ODQ potently blocked SIN-I relaxation (Emax= 91.04±8.39, n=6). From the above observations it is concluded that NO donor SIN-I is a more potent relaxing agent than acetylcholine in goat ruminal artery.The observed effect of SIN-1 in this artery is due to activity of soluble guanylatecyclase and has no prominent NOS (Nitric oxide synthase) activity

No full textAssociation of human interleukin-35 level in gingival crevicular fluid and serum in periodontal health, disease, and after nonsurgical therapy: A comparative study
No full textBackground: Innovating newer methods to diagnose a multifactorial disease such as periodontitis is always challenging for a clinician. Gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) which is closely associated with the periodontal tissue environment has been used a viable alternative to saliva for the diagnosis of periodontitis. Aim: The aim of the present study was to estimate and compare the interleukin-35 (IL-35) levels in GCF and serum among healthy, gingivitis, and chronic periodontitis (CP) individuals as well as to evaluate the effect of nonsurgical periodontal treatment (NSPT) on IL-35 level among patients with CP. Settings and Design: The study was conducted at the Department of Periodontics, Srirama Chandra Bhanja Dental College and Hospital, Cuttack, Odisha, India. It is a comparative study. Materials and Methods: A total of 60 participants were divided into healthy (Group I; n = 20), gingivitis (Group II; n = 20), and CP (Group IIIA; n = 20). GCF samples collected from each individual at baseline and 6 weeks after NSPT for Group III individuals (Group IIIB; n = 20) were quantified for IL-35 levels using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Statistical Analysis: All analyses were performed using Shapiro–Wilk test, analysis of variance, Tukey's honestly significant difference post hoc test, and multiple regression analysis. Results: The mean IL-35 concentration in GCF was significantly high (P < 0.05) for Group IIIA (70.26 ± 4.0 pg/ml), as compared to Group I (54.81 ± 22.3 pg/ml) and Group IIIB (55.72 ± 10.2 pg/ml). Conclusion: In the present study, GCF and serum IL-35 concentration among CP individuals was highest among all the groups. Individuals receiving NSPT showed a significant reduction in IL-35 levels as compared to CP individuals
Hesperidin attenuates arsenic trioxide-induced cardiac toxicity in rats
No full textObjective: To explore the cardioprotective effect of hesperidin against arsenic trioxide-induced cardiac toxicity in rats.
Methods: Cardiac toxicity was induced by oral administration of 4 mg/kg arsenic trioxide for 30 days. Hematological, biochemical, electrocardiography, echocardiography, and histopathological examinations were performed.
Results: Hesperidin decreased the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, calcium, creatine kinase-myoglobin binding, lactate dehydrogenase, IL-6, and lipid peroxidation, as well as increased sodium and potassium concentration and superoxide dismutase and catalase activity in arsenic trioxide-intoxicated rats. Moreover, it reduced peak systolic velocity and end-diastolic velocity while increasing heart rate. Arsenic trioxide-induced histopathological damage to cardiac tissue was prominently alleviated by hesperidin treatment.
Conclusions: Hesperidin attenuates arsenic trioxide-induced cardiac toxicity in rats. Therefore, it can be further explored as a cardioprotective agent
Dynamics of Hot QCD Matter -- Current Status and Developments
No full textThe discovery and characterization of hot and dense QCD matter, known as
Quark Gluon Plasma (QGP), remains the most international collaborative effort
and synergy between theorists and experimentalists in modern nuclear physics to
date. The experimentalists around the world not only collect an unprecedented
amount of data in heavy-ion collisions, at Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider
(RHIC), at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) in New York, USA, and the Large
Hadron Collider (LHC), at CERN in Geneva, Switzerland but also analyze these
data to unravel the mystery of this new phase of matter that filled a few
microseconds old universe, just after the Big Bang. In the meantime,
advancements in theoretical works and computing capability extend our wisdom
about the hot-dense QCD matter and its dynamics through mathematical equations.
The exchange of ideas between experimentalists and theoreticians is crucial for
the progress of our knowledge. The motivation of this first conference named
"HOT QCD Matter 2022" is to bring the community together to have a discourse on
this topic. In this article, there are 36 sections discussing various topics in
the field of relativistic heavy-ion collisions and related phenomena that cover
a snapshot of the current experimental observations and theoretical progress.
This article begins with the theoretical overview of relativistic
spin-hydrodynamics in the presence of the external magnetic field, followed by
the Lattice QCD results on heavy quarks in QGP, and finally, it ends with an
overview of experiment results.Comment: Compilation of the contributions (148 pages) as presented in the `Hot
QCD Matter 2022 conference', held from May 12 to 14, 2022, jointly organized
by IIT Goa & Goa University, Goa, Indi
