ABSTRACT:
Two new phytoconstituents have been isolated from petroleum ether extract of the whole plant of Actiniopteris radiata. The petroleum ether extract was subjected to column chromatography and isolated the phytoconstituents. Two new phytoconstituents were characterised by TLC, IR, UV spectral analysis, NMR and Mass spectra. Compound 1 is Dec-3-enyl, 2-(heptyloxy)-1-mercaptpoethyl terephthalate and compound 2 is 1-(Phenylethyl butanoate ether), 2-(3-ene heptanoate) ethane.
KEYWORDS: Actiniopteris radiata; Column chromatography; Polypodiaceae; Terephthalate.

ABSTRACT:
India has the 3rd highest number of estimated people living with HIV/AIDS (PLHA) in the world. It is estimated that over 35% of all reported HIV incidences in India occur among young people of 15-24yrs of age. Despite norms prohibiting premarital sex relations, opportunities to form premarital relations did exist and 4% young women had engaged in premarital sex. Adolescent girls are at far greater risk of contracting HIV than boys, as a result of their greater physiological susceptibility and their vulnerability to sexual violence, rape and marriages at an early age.
Aim: 1.To evaluate awareness and knowledge of adolescent girl students about HIV/AIDS.
2.To assess the impact of curriculum on HIV/AIDS, on the knowledge of students about HIV/AIDS.
Material & Methods: 150 students from 10th standard, having a lesson on HIV/AIDS ( group one) and 150 students from 9th standard, not having a lesson on HIV/AIDS (group two) were included. Formative evaluation was done. Selection type, closed ended, objective type schedule in Telugu language, was administered. Schedule contained 12 items.
Statistical Analysis: Chi square test was used.
Results: General awareness as, HIV is a virus and it causes AIDS was high in both groups. 59.33% & 66.66% from group one and 29.33% & 44% of group two knew how HIV spreads and how it does not spread, respectively. Group one had more knowledge on symptoms than group two. Above all are with significant P values. There was not much difference in the knowledge of two groups about its non-curability and lack of vaccine. Only 16.66% from both groups has positive attitude towards PLHA. Group one had more awareness about high risk group. Text books/Teachers were the main source of information.
Conclusions: (1)The awareness and knowledge of 10th Std. students on HIV/AIDS was higher than that of 9th Std. students.(2)Curriculum on HIV/AIDS played an important role on the awareness and knowledge of students on HIV/AIDS. (3)Positive attitude towards PLHA was less. (4)The awareness, as HIV/AIDS has no cure and no vaccine was also less.
(5)Teachers & Text books were on top as source of information.
KEYWORDS: Adolescents; Attitude; adolescent education programme; Curriculum; Reproductive health.
