The study was a casual comparative research type. The sample size was 100 people who were all married men among which 50 ones were patient and remaining were normal. Pearson correlation coefficient was used due to quantitative variable of Quality Of Life (QOL) and sexual dysfunction. Given the analysis results, there is a negative significant correlation between sexual dysfunctions and Quality of Life in tow groups (P0.05). Furthermore, here was a significant difference in a comparison between normal and patient groups in terms of Quality of Life indicator. Findings indicated that the patients who had undergone CABG were with lower Quality of Life and the higher sexual dysfunction. Therefore, successful treatment for sexual disability can improve sexual satisfaction and enhance QOL and life expectancy in patients with Coronary Artery Bypass Graft. <#LINE#> @ @ Yaraghchi A, Rezaei O, Mandegar MH and Bagherian R., The relationship between Illness perception and quality of life in Iranian patients with coronary artery bypass graft, Procedia-Social and Behavioral Sciences46, 3329-3334 (2012) @No $ @ @ Kasper DL, Braunwald E, Hauser S, Longo D, Jameson L and Fauci AS, Harrison's Principles of Internal Medicine, 16th Edition, New York, NY: McGraw-Hill Medical Publishing Division, (2005) @No $ @ @ World Health organization.

The fungus has been observed comprehensively in the present study for its indigenous applications in some of the crop plants cultivated in this locale. The morphological and cultural characteristics of the endophyte were verified. Further to enhance the applications of fungi in plant growth promotion, the–vitro growth parameters of fungi were optimized. The endophyte has been experimented for germination studies with maize plants. Pot culture of the maize plants that were colonized with Piriformospora indica has been observed to show considerable difference in growth parameters when compared with the control plants. The plants were also compared for physical parameters such as percentage colonization, root height, shoot height, fresh weight, dry weight etc., with the control plants. The present study has added light to the understanding that Piriformospora indica is an effective plant growth promoting endophytic fungi.<#LINE#> @ @ Ajit Varma, Savita Verma, Sudha, Nirmal Sahay, Britta Bütehorn and Philipp Franken, Piriformospora indica, a Cultivable Plant-Growth-Promoting Root Endophyte, Appl.

Among five meat markets and five fish markets, it was found that the markets were of poor hygienic status. For identification, samples of bacteria present on the hands of chicken slaughter men, goat slaughter men and fishmongers were collected both during morning and night. Standard plate count of bacteria obtained during morning for chicken slaughter men, goat slaughter men and fishmongers were detected to be 7x10,10x10and 15x10 CFU/ml respectively in contrast to the samples taken from normal man which was around0.4x10CFU/ml. Due to poor level of hygienic status and lack of sanitary practices standard plate count was increased during night which were 9x10,50x10 and 60x10CFU/ml and on comparing it from the hands of normal man it was again found out to be very less i.e. 0.9x10CFU/ml. During morning pathogenic bacteria i.e. Staphylococcus aureus from chicken slaughter man, Corynebacteriumdiptherae from goat slaughtermen and fishmonger were identified but non-pathogenicStaphylococcus epidermidis was obtained from normal man. During night predominance of bacteria like Kleibsiella spp., Proteus vulgaris, Shigella spp. resulted out whereas S.epidermidis was isolated from hand of normal man which is a normal microbial flora of human skin. <#LINE#> @ @ Gill C.O., Microbiological contamination of meat during slaughter and butchering of cattle, sheep and pigs, Blackie Academic and Professional, 118-157 (1998) @No $ @ @ Madden R.H., Murry K.A and Gilmour A.,Determination of the principal points of products contamination during beef carcassdressing process in Northern Ireland, J.

As compared to the conventional remediation techniques, biological methods are gaining prominence because of their potential in providing a cost effective technology for heavy metal remediation. Biopolymer produced by Bacillus licheniformis was investigated with regard to remediation of lead metal ion. Biopolymer production was optimum when grown in M9 medium, biopolymer from B licheniformis was then used for bio sorption of lead metal ion at neutral pH range, 95-98% of biosorption was observed in case of 10ppm and 50ppm lead metal ions, this study shows utility of biopolymers in bioremediation of lead metal ions.<#LINE#> @ @ Kapoor Neeti., Tiwari Prakash and Hari Singh Gour., Effects of Heavy Metal Poisoning during Pregnancy, Int.

For determination of antimicrobial and cytotoxic activity of this mushroom disk diffusion technique and brine shrimp lethality bioassay were used. Ethyl acetate, hexane and chloroform extract were examined with ten test organism in which hexane extract showed higher antibacterial activity than chloroform and ethyl acetate for both gram positive and negative bacteria. The average zone of inhibition for hexane extract was in the range of 11-24mm. The total phenolic content ranged from 3.69 mg GAE/gm to 8.49 mg GAE/gm. In brine shrimp lethality bioassay LC50 values obtained were 10 µg/ml, 40 µg/ml and 75µg/ml for hexane, ethyl acetate and chloroform, respectively. This study revealed that P. ostreatus mushroom has potential antimicrobial effect with significant antioxidant and anticancer activity. <#LINE#> @ @ Soumya C, Gunjan B, Saikat K.B. and Krishnendu A., Antineoplastic effect of mushrooms, Australian Journal of Crop Science, 5, 904-911 (2011) @No $ @ @ S.

This complication entails high costs to the patients. This retrospective study determined the clinical profile and prognosis of diabetic patients with foot ulcers in the Chomi Medical and Surgical Clinic (CMSC) in General Santos City. Medical records of 412 patients were reviewed from August 2010 – January 2011. Eighty-two of the patients have diabetes mellitus type 2, 50 of whom have diabetic foot ulcers. A ratio of 1.4 males: 1 female was observed indicating that more males than female were affected.For both genders, the mean age is between the 5th and 6th decade of life with 53 + 12.51 years, most of which belong to the 50-59 age-group. In body mass index (BMI) categorization, majority of the patients belong to the normal and overweight category at 48% and 42%, respectively. Of the 50 patients with diabetic foot ulcers, 39 (78%) had previous diagnosis oftype 2 diabetes mellitus of 2.36 + 1.7 years (range = 0.2 – 7 yrs.) while the other 11 (22%) were walk-in patients and were diagnosed upon the day of consultation. Ulcerations were commonly found in the toes while rarely on the shin. Degrees of wounds were graded according to Wagner's classification. Forty-eight percent (24) of patients had grade 0,26% (13) had grade 1, 16% (8) had grade 2, 6% (3) had grade 4, and4% (2) had grade 5 ulcers. Sixteen (32%) underwent debridement, seven (14%) underwent amputation with five toe disarticulations and two below knee amputation while only one (2%) underwent internal screw fixation. Results indicate that diabetic foot ulcer mostly occurs in patients in the 5th to 6thdecade of life and affects more males than females.<#LINE#> @ @ Loghmani E., Chapter 14: Diabetes Mellitis: type 1 and type 2.

Among the hundred and ten screened greengram genotypes, avoidable loss was ranged from 1.4 to 83.5 percent and the lowest avoidable losses were recorded in 18 genotypes, which grouped under resistant category and highest avoidable losses in 20 highly susceptible genotypes, where as the remaining 72 genotypes were grouped under moderate category. The genotypes KM-8-666 (83.5%), KM-8-656 (76.9%), KM-9-121 (76%), LGG-497 (75.5%) and LGG-514 (75%) recorded the highest percent avoidable losses, while genotypes MGG-336 (1.4%), KM-8-655 (2.4%), MGG-335 (3.2%), Madhira Mung (7.9%), KARS-165 (8.3%), KM-9-122 (9.0%), Pusa Vishal (9.1%), MGG-295 (10.6%), GG-9 (10.8%) and MGG-353 (11.9%) recorded the lowest avoidable losses. The low yielding greengram genotypes, KARS-22 (25.5), KARS-166 (26.5), Asha (29.0), KM-2241 (41.5), MGG-330 (45.5), MGG-359 (48.0), Line -76 (49.0), BAR-02/22 (49.5), KM-9-136 (51.0), MGG-367 (51.5) under unprotected conditions, became moderate yielders (KARS-22 (56.5), KARS-166 (82.5), Asha (95.5), KM-2241 (110.5), MGG-330 (110), MGG-359 (137.5), Line -76 (185), BAR-02/22 (60.0), KM-9-136 (139), MGG-367 (73.0)) under protected conditions. Similarly, the moderate yielding genotypes, viz., KM-8-666 (70.5) and KM-8-656 (109.5) under unprotected conditions, became high yielders (KM-8-666 (427) and KM-8-656 (473.5)) under protected conditions, this significant yield improvement, might be due to Maruca management. It is concluding that we can avoid 83.5 percent yield losses by choosing resistant varieties and adopting management practices against Maruca. <#LINE#> @ @ National Agricultural Innovation Project report submitted by Central Research Institute for Dry land Agriculture (2012) @No $ @ @ Vishakanthaiah M and Jagadeesh babu C.S., Bionomics of the tur webworm, Maruca testulalis (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae), Mysore Journal of Agricultural Sciences. 14: 529-532 (1980) @No $ @ @ Zahid M.A., Islam M.M and Begum M.R., Determination of economic injury levels of Maruca vitrata in Mungbean, Journal of Agricultural Rural Development, 6(1and2): 91–97 (2008) @No $ @ @ Shivalingaswami, T.

Phytochemical screening test in five different solvents chloroform, hexane, petroleum ether, ethanol, and acetone crude extracts were indicated the presence of flavonoids, cholesterols, terpenoids, carbohydrates, glycosides, tannins, alkaloids, phenols, proteins, and saponins. However, glycosides, phenols, and cholesterols were not detected in hexane, petroleum ether, and ethanol crude extract, respectively. Antimicrobial activity of crude extract were tested using paper disk diffusion method against four bacteria strains (S. aureus, B. subtilis, E. coli and S. typhi) and three fungi strains (F. solani, F. oxysporum and A. niger). Datura stramonium petroleum ether extract produced maximum zone of inhibition (19.30±0.18mm) against S. aureus while minimum zone of inhibition (12.30±0.16mm) against S. typhi. Hexane crude extract leaves of Datura stramonium showed maximum zone of inhibition (18.00±0.27mm) against S. aureus while minimum zone of inhibition (11.05±0.62mm) against E. coli. Chloroform extract of the plant also showed maximum zone of inhibition (18.43±0.57mm) against B. subtillis while minimum zone of inhibition (11.51±0.54mm) against S. typhi. The various crude extracts of Datura stramonium were showed high potential antifungal activity against the tested fungi with maximum zone of inhibition (17.07±0.16mm) against A. niger was exhibited by petroleum ether extract while minimum zone of inhibition (8.05±0.43mm) against F. oxysporum was observed by ethanol crude extract. The antimicrobial activities of plant extract were compared with that of chloroamphenicol against bacteria and bavistin against fungi as reference antibiotics.<#LINE#> @ @ Stace C., New Flora of the British Isles, Cambridge University Press., 532 (1997) @No $ @ @ Ermias D., Natural Database for Africa (NDA) On CD-ROM Version 2.0, Addis Ababa University, Ethiopion, (2011) @No $ @ @ Soni P., Siddiqui A.A., Dwivedi J. and Soni V., Pharmacological properties of Datura stramonium L. as a potential medicinal tree, Asian.

In the present study, RAPD-PCR has been used to infer genetic relationship between the two muscid species i.e., housefly Musca domestica (L.) and pepper fruit fly Atherigona orientalis. Genomic DNA from the two species were extracted and PCR amplified using twenty arbitrary decamer primers which produced 127 reproducible and scorable bands ranging from 121bp to 2568bp. Genetic identity between the two species was calculated using Tools for population genetic analysis(TFPGA) software. High values of Genetic identity (0.680) display close relationship between the two species. <#LINE#> @ @ Ferreira M.J.M. and Lacerda P.V., Muscóides sinantrópicos associados ao lixo urbano em Goiânia, GO.

The field trail was conducted at Hamelmalo Agricultural College in okra crop to study the seasonal incidence of pest and diseases. Insects such as aphid, leafhopper, spotted bollworm and dusky cotton bug were noticed on the crop whereas plant diseases like powdery mildew and okra blight infested the crop. The maximum average population of aphids/plant was 143 with (r = 0.452) and its population increased from December to March. The jassid population was non-significantly affected the okra but maximum population (13 leafhoppers/plant) was recorded during February. The maximum number of spotted bollworm was 7 larva?/plant. The dusky bug population was 0.6 and 11 per plant during February and March, respectively. The natural enemies, lady bird beetle and sirphid fly, were recorded but their population were non-significant with (r=0.800) and (r = 0.316) with maximum and minimum temperature. The incidence of powdery mildew and okra blight appeared during February and their severity increased till harvesting period. The overall disease complexes were found 85% per plant. <#LINE#> @ @ Siemonsma J.S., Laculturedugombo (Abelmoschus spp.) legume fruit tropical avec reference special alacoted’ivoire thesis Univ. of Wageningen, the Netherlands, (1982) @No $ @ @ Ministry of Agriculture, Annual vegetable production and consumption in Eritrea, (2008) @No $ @ @ Nayar K.K., Ananthakrishnan T.N. and David B.V., General and Applied Entomology, Tata McGraw-Hill Publishing Company Ltd, New Delhi, 589 (1976) @No $ @ @ Berger R.D., Measuring disease intensity, In: Teng, P.S., S.V.

SNS Govt. PG College Shahdol, MP, 484001, INDIA <#LINE#>29/11/2014<#LINE#>31/12/2014<#LINE#>Current research work is aimed for assessment of ambient air quality of Chachai region. The objective of the study is to know the effect of coal based thermal power plant emission on air quality in the vicinity of Amarkantak Thermal Power plant. The monitoring and estimation of Particulate Matter (i.e. PM10 and PM2.5), SOx and NOx was done in three consecutive seasons. Significant variation was observed in distribution of particulate matter, as the concentration of PM10varied from 66µg/M (min.) to 129µg/M (max.) while PM2.5 was record 26µg/M (min) to78µg/M (max.). The higher particulate in summer is the result of enhanced dispersion of fugitive dust appends by coal and ash handling activity and in winter can be attributed to low temperature and low wind speed. The lowest concentration during monsoon season may be attributed to washout by rainfall and also due to higher relative humidity, which reduces re–suspension of dust. The SOx ranged between 38µg/M to 98µg/M and NOx from 33µg/M to 94µg/M. Non-functionalizing of water sprinkling system, ESP, Bag filters may also be the active causes for increasing of environmental pollutants in the surrounding area of TPP. After Air samples analysis the results were compared with Maximum permissible limit as per Guidelines provided by Central Pollution Control Board new Delhi (CPCB) for National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) 2009. The collected data were statistically analysed with Pearson Correlation Matrix for examining the effects of Environmental Pollutants on Ambient Air Quality at site. The analysis was performed for seasonal alteration and overall annual interactions on different parameters.<#LINE#> @ @ Agarwal M, Effects of air pollution on agriculture: An issue of national concern, Natl.
