The elephant population is building up when compared to past few decades due various management implications made by the Tamil Nadu Forest Department. Thus resulted various human-elephant conflict issues such as human injuries and deaths, loss of properties and crops and deaths of elephants, etc. During such forays, managing elephant population is purely depending on local people as they lives many years. Hence, considering the importance, this short term study was attempted in order to understand people’s mind set on elephant conservation in the Gudalur Forest Division. This study was carried from January to March 2013 and the objectives of the project were a) To estimate socio-economic status of local people, b) To understand mind set of the local people elephant and its conservation Problems, c) To record solution to mitigate human-elephant conflict issues, d) To document various mitigating measures used by the local people against human-elephant conflicts.Questionnaire surveywas used to identify various humanelephant conflict mitigating measures displayed by the local people. 200 people were interviewed during the present investigation. The questionnaire was designed to evaluate factor such as frequency of elephant visits, and data was collected from various agricultural field persons (n=200) including children’s and parents. The questionnaire survey method was done in 16 villages was covered namely to Bennai (n=17), Pitharkaadu (n=16), Silver cloud estate, Oovelly and Paadanthorai (n=15), Dhevalai, (n=16), Moolakadu estate (n=10), Yellamalai estate (n=18), Neermattam, Erumaadu (n=10) (2×10=20), Keel Naadukani (n=16), Soondy, Gandhinagar, Cherampady (n=7) (3×7=21), Kolapalli (n=15), Naadukani (n=8). Variables such as name, occupation, years of living data were collected.Most of the people (n=110) opined that the elephant visits were became high in the past 5 years. 121 people were told that all the visits were made by the elephants only during night times.","PeriodicalId":13830,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Advanced Research in Biological Sciences","volume":"1 1","pages":"55-65"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-11-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73905812","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The mandibular and parotid ducts were injected with Urographin® as contrast medium; through inserting the catheter into their openings in the oral cavity; then applying lateral radiography immediately after the injection. The common carotid arteries were injected with red Latex Neoprene and dissected. The parotid gland was irregular rectangular and had five processes while the mandibular gland was irregular triangular with rounded proximal and pointed distal extremity. The parotid duct enters the oral cavity on the cheek opposite the upper 4th molar tooth. The mandibular duct opens in the oral cavity at the sublingual caruncles on the sublingual floor, just about 2cm cranial to frenulum linguae. Both The parotid and the mandibular salivary glands could be divided into four segments. Partial removal of the pathologic parotid or mandibular salivary glands could be performed based on their segmentation.

The important pathogenic factors responsible for the development of metabolic disorder, insulin resistance, β-cells dysfunction, and finally diabetes are oxidative stress and tissue specific systemic inflammation. It was proven that drug which selectively inhibit the enzyme Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) benefit the insulin resistance diabetes. As the DPP-4 highly involved in the enzymatic degradation of GLP-1 and GIP required for insulin secretion. Due to increased adverse event caused by conventional anti-diabetic agents researchers are at constant need of exploring alternate therapeutic strategy for clinical management of diabetes mellitus. Siddha system of traditional medicine through its valuable phytocomponents therapy provides highly beneficial effects in treating metabolic disorders such as diabetes since several centuries. The main aim of the resent investigation is to screen the seven bioactive phytocomponents such as Beta Sitosterol, Glabrin, Kanjone, Pongol, Sterolin, Pinnantin, and Quercetin present in the formulation Pungampoo Chooranam (PPC) against target protein Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 with PDB code 2P8S along with the standard sitagliptine using computational docking analysis. The results of the present investigation clearly shows that all the seven compound screened Insilco has tendency to binding with the most significant active site 205 GLU,206 GLU,209 SER,357 PHE,358 ARG,547 TYR, 710 ASN,711VALand 740 HIS present on the target protein DDP-4 which may be responsible for degradation of GLP-1 and GIPand hence from this it was concluded that the bioactive phytocomponents present in the formulation Pungampoo Chooranam (PPC) has significant DDP-4 enzyme inhibition activity and there by promising anti-diabetic activity and may also be effective in clinical management of diabetes mellitus.","PeriodicalId":13830,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Advanced Research in Biological Sciences","volume":"1 1","pages":"78-85"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-10-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78583803","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
