Abstract:
The present study aims at investigating the chemopreventive potentials of water extract of traditional medicinal plant, Detarium microcarpum against mycotoxin induced hepatic and renal damage in rats. The result of the study revealed that the mycotoxin ingested animal showed drastic weight loss, induced liver and kidney damage through elevating marker enzymes and serological variables. However, administration of 750 mg/kg body weight of the water extract of Detarium microcarpum effectively ameliorated the deviation caused by liver and kidney damage in response to mycotoxin ingestion. Pathological examination of the liver and kidney tissues also supported the biochemical findings. From the current investigation it can be concluded that supplementation of plant extract was beneficial in modulating the alteration induced in liver, kidney and serum variables of rats under the effect of mycotoxin.
Keywords: Mycotoxins; Deterium microcarpum; Chemopreventive potentials.

Core idea: The main purpose of this study was to find the effect of systemic hypertension in blood-brain-barrier and indirectly csf-albumin levels. And its contribution as a predictor of Stroke in the future which mostly occurs due to disruption of BBB .
Abstract:
Aim: To compare the Cerebrospinal fluid Albumin levels in normal patients and patients with systemic hypertension and hence to analyse the effect of systemic hypertension in the blood-brain-barrier. Materials and methods: The study was conducted in Chennai Medical College Hospital and Research Center, Irungalur, Trichy from May to June 2013. Hospital ethical committee approval was attained and informed written consent was also obtained from all patients participating in the study. All patients fulfilling inclusion and exclusion criteria were included in the study. Both hypertensive and normal patients undergoing sub-umbilical surgeries under subarachnoid block were included in the study after obtaining informed consent. 49 patients in each group, Group A included patients with systemic hypertension on treatment and Group B were normal patients without any co-morbid conditions. Under strict aseptic precautions lumbar puncture was done using 25 G Quincky needle and 0.5ml of CSF was collected in a sterile container and send for biochemical analysis. Patients who had traumatic tap were excluded from the study. CSF -albumin levels were calculated by immunodensitometric method and then were statistically analyzed using Chi-square test and Students–t Test.
Results: Demographic data was analyzed using Chi-Square test and found that there was not any statistical significance. While, CSF albumin levels in normal group was 137.25 ± 28.77 while it was 289.41 ± 54.05 in hypertensive group .This difference was statistically significant.
Discussion: The albumin in the blood reaches CSF through the process of diffusion1. This restricted exchange of materials between blood and perivascular and extravascular fluid is done through the blood-brain barrier in the central nervous system. Disruption of tight junctions in the BBB is the hallmark of not only many CNS pathology but also systemic diseases7. One such diseases is systemic hypertension which brings about inflammatory changes in the body including neuro-inflammation. This not only causes disruption of BBB but also increases the Para cellular permeability i.e. bends without breaking them.
This cellular change in the BBB due to hypertension may increase its permeability to albumin which in turn increases the CSF albumin levels. In our study, CSF albumin level was higher in hypertensive group compared to normal patients. This difference was statistically significant. This difference signifies the changes occurring in the BBB in hypertensive individuals which could lead to stroke in the future. Weather CSF albumin levels could be used as a predictor of stroke and its relation to years of hypertensive state are to be analyzed in our next study.
Key words: CSF Albumin levels; Blood-Brain-Barrier (BBB); Diffusion.

Abstract
Though item examination has immense importance in undergraduate medical curriculum, often the objectives, basis of giving marks are poorly understood by the students. Moreover, the students may have preferences regarding methodology of the examinations. The current study is being planned to assess perception on item examination amongst undergraduate medical students. Methodology: It is a cross-sectional descriptive, observational study, conducted among 6th semester batch of M.B.B.S students of the session 2011-1012 at Institute of Post Graduate Medical Education & Research, Kolkata. All the 75 students attended in a routine lecture class were filled up a pre-designed, pre-tested anonymous questionnaire. Analysis was done in Excel workbook of Microsoft Office software package in computer. Result: Among 75 (75.76%) participant of 6th Semester students 24(32%) have idea about how teachers put marks in the item examinations. 63(84%) students know that marks of item examinations are added to the final university examinations. 59(78.67%) wanted items to be held in teacher’s chamber, more no. wanted on Monday (43(57.33%)) & Friday (19(25.33%)), 43(57.33%) prefer afternoon & 32(42.67%) favour forenoon, expected duration of holding 14.4±20.34minutes, 47(62.67%) wanted item one by one & 28(37.33%) in groups. Students also gave opinion about attempt in item examination, displaying marks, contribution of marks to university examination and perceived benefit.
Conclusion: Item examination should be planned based on perception and opinion of student to get maximum benefit.

Abstract:
Aim: Despite the tremendous increase in health care and research, little awareness is available about self-medication in developing countries like India. This study mainly aims to determine the prevalence of self-medication practices among students of Pharmacy and Engineering colleges in Visakhapatnam district with reasons and some suggestions.
Purpose: The main purpose of the study is to assess the knowledge, awareness and perception of self-medication practice with a view to observe the irrational usage of Non- Prescription drugs (OTC drugs) among the under graduate students.
Materials and methods: Data related to this study was collected by a pre-tested questionnaire prepared in English regarding self-medication. This was a descriptional study conducted by selecting students among students from pharmacy and engineering background. The prevalence of self-medication was reported in percentage.
Results: The prevalence of self-medication practice was found to be high among pharmacy students when compared to engineering students.
Conclusion: Over the years there has been an appreciable increase in the manufacture, sales and promotion of OTC products in India and on the other view irrational use of self-medication is also increasing among the public especially younger generation like students. Thus to prevent the adverse effects of self-medication it is essential to create awareness and educate the public about responsible self- medication and develop a nationalized list of OTC drugs.

Abstract
With the increasing number of clinical reports of aberrant root canal morphological variations of root and root canal system, it is very important from clinician’s point of view to be aware of the variable anatomy present in a tooth. This case report describes endodontic management of four canalled and three rooted mandibular first molar.
