    الوصف: Background: Yoga, an ancient Indian system of exercise and therapy is an art of good living or an integrated system for the benefit of the body, mind, and inner spirit. Regular practice of yoga can help to increase blood flow to the brain, reduce stress, have a calming effect on the nervous system, and greatly help in reducing hypertension. Aim: Aim of the present study is to evaluate the effect of 1-month yoga practice on body mass index (BMI), and blood pressure (BP). Materials and Methods: The present study was conducted to determine the effect of yoga practice on 64 participants (age 53.6 ± 13.1 years) (experimental group) whereas the results were compared with 26 healthy volunteers (control group). We examined the effects of yoga on physiological parameters in a 1-month pilot study. Most of the participants were learner and practiced yoga for 1 h daily in the morning for 1 month. BMI and BP (systolic and diastolic) were studied before and after 1 month of yoga practice. Results: Yoga practice causes decreased BMI (26.4 ± 2.5–25.22 ± 2.4), systolic BP (136.9 ± 22.18 mmHg to 133 ± 21.38 mmHg), and diastolic BP (84.7 ± 6.5 mmHg to 82.34 ± 7.6 mmHg). On the other hand, no significant changes were observed in BMI and BP of control group.

    الوصف: Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is the most common neoplasm that occurs in the kidney and is marked by a unique biology, with a long history of poor response to conventional cancer treatments. In the past few years, there have been significant advancements to understand the biology of RCC. This has led to the introduction of novel targeted therapies in the management of patients with metastatic disease. Patients treated with targeted therapies for RCC had shown positive impact on overall survival, however, no cure is possible and patients need to undergo treatment for long periods of time, which raises challenges to manage the associated adverse events. Moreover, many patients may not respond to it and even response may not last long enough in the responders. Many inhibitors of the Mammalian target of Rapamycin (mTOR) signaling pathway are currently being used in treatment of advanced RCC. Studies showed that inhibitions of mTOR pathways induce Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase (MAPK) escape cell death and cells become resistant to mTOR inhibitors. Because of this, there is a need to inhibit both pathways with their inhibitors comparatively for a better outcome and treatment of patients with RCC.

    الوصف: Exploration of the traditional knowledge of the indigenous people is very important for revealing the uses of plants and plant parts for medicinal purpose. Once the medicinal use of these plants is known, their active ingredients have to be identified and their efficacy has to be tested scientifically. A good number of modern medicines are now available which has been formulated taking the traditional knowledge into consideration. Besides people all over the world now shift their attention to herbal drugs because they are comparatively safer and cheaper. In these contexts, ethnomedicinal studies are of great significance. In the present paper, attempts have been made enlist the ethnomedicinal plants of Lalgarh forest range of India. The study reveals that 52 different plant species are used by the local people to cure different diseases. Out of the 52 plant species, 17 are herbs, 20 trees, 11 shrubs, and 4 are climbers. The list of plant parts, habit, mode of their use and purpose has been documented in this study.

    الوصف: Background Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is one of the most common neoplasms that occurs in the kidney and is marked by a unique biology, with a long history of poor response to conventional cancer treatments. In recent years, there have been significant advancements implemented to understanding the biology of RCC, which has led to the introduction of novel targeted therapies in the management of patients with metastatic disease. Objective The present study was designed to evaluate the effects of p38 MAPK inhibitor (SB203580), alone and in combination with mTOR inhibitor (CCI779) on apoptosis and cell proliferation. Method Subtoxic concentrations of inhibitors were selected by MTT assay using A-498, ACHN and primary culture of RCC. Results All the three types of RCC cells had almost similar response towards these inhibitors. The results revealed that 25µM of SB203580 and 20µM of CCI779 at 48 hrs decreased cell viability by 20% and 30%, respectively, whereas the combination of both inhibitors showed a maximum of 40% reduction in cell viability. Conclusion The study concludes that the combination of SB203580 and CCI779 inhibitors may induce cellular senescence in A-498 cells with higher potency than that of individual inhibitors.

    الوصف: The term Kriyakala refers to the recognition of the stage of a disease's progress, which helps to determine appropriate measure to correct the imbalance in Doshas (biological factors). It is a compound expression, comprised of Kriya and Kala, where Kriya means the choice to treatment (medicine, food and daily-routine) used to improve the disturbance in Doshas, and Kala refers to the stage of progress of a disease. Sushruta, an ancient Indian surgeon, has described the concept of Kriyakala in Varnaprashnadhyaya, an ancient Vedic Sanskrit text, which seeks to explain the incidence of Varnas in terms of Doshic disturbances. Varna, in modern parlance, may be described as an inflammatory process that may lead ulceration and chronic inflammation, promoting all stages of carcinogenesis. Abnormal interactions between Prakriti (genotype) and environmental factors vitiate the Doshas and impair immunity, which can lead to aberrant cell growth and cancer. Moreover, the interaction between vitiated Doshas and weak Dhatus (body tissues) manifests as cancers of a specific organ. Shatkriyakala (six stages of progress of a disease), on the other hand, provides a framework to assess the cancer and its pathogenesis in different stages. According to Ayurvedic concepts, all cancer therapies treat the affected tissues indirectly by eliminating vitiated Doshas, rejuvenating Dhatus and restoring immunity in cancer patients. The present review describes the six stages of Shatkriyakala in detail, with an emphasis on research areas to validate the concept of Shatkriyakala. This traditional knowledge can be utilized with modern technologies to detect predisposition for cancer or diagnose cancer in its early stages.

    الوصف: Ayurveda is a science of life with a holistic approach to health and personalized medicine. It is one of the oldest medical systems, which comprises thousands of medical concepts and hypothesis. Interestingly, Ayurveda has ability to treat many chronic diseases such as cancer, diabetes, arthritis, and asthma, which are untreatable in modern medicine. Unfortunately, due to lack of scientific validation in various concepts, this precious gift from our ancestors is trailing. Hence, evidence-based research is highly needed for global recognition and acceptance of Ayurveda, which needs further advancements in the research methodology. The present review highlights various fields of research including literary, fundamental, drug, pharmaceutical, and clinical research in Ayurveda. The review further focuses to improve the research methodology for Ayurveda with main emphasis on the fundamental research. This attempt will certainly encourage young researchers to work on various areas of research for the development and promotion of Ayurveda.

    الوصف: Cajanus scarabaeoides has many desirable agronomic traits that deserve attention for introgression into pigeonpea cultivars. An inter-specific F1 hybrid was raised using C. cajan (ICP-26) as seed parent and C. scarabaeoides (ICPW-94) as pollen parent. Hybridity of the F1 plant was affirmed by analyzing the morphological attributes, such as seed coat color, leaf shape, brown striations in the petal, pod features, and intermediate branching type etc. Most of the pollen mother cells (PMC) in the F1 hybrid have shown regular meiosis, but in some PMCs chromosome heteromorphism was observed for two pairs of bivalents during diakinesis, leading to precocious separation of bivalents (62.81 %) at metaphase-I, and bridge formation (7.44 %) and laggards (2.48 %) at anaphase-I. SDS-PAGE of two major seed protein fractions (albumin and globulin) detected five polypeptide bands (Mol wt. 40.7, 39.8, 32.4, 23.5 and 19.5 KDa) unique to C. scarabaeoides, the male parent, in the F1 hybrids that evidenced the hybridity of F1 plants. Further, RAPD and ISSR marker analysis revealed the hybrid nature of the putative F1 plant. These analyses showed the inheritance of 28 RAPD and 12 ISSR markers, unique to C. scarabaeoides - the pollen parent, to F1 hybrids. This complementary use of cyto-morphological analysis, and molecular marker based genotyping allowed precise evaluation of the C. cajan × C. scarabaeoides inter-specific hybrid.
