The prevailing theory is that antidepressants increase the concentration of one or more brain chemicals (neurotransmitters) that nerves in the brain use to communicate with one another. The neurotransmitters affected by antidepressants are norepinephrine, serotonin, and dopamine. In order to address the need for new MAO inhibitors with less side effects, we can aim compounds previously discovered for their potential as MAOIs. Among them, safinamide was reported to be a potent anti-MAO B agent, and milacemide, which was found to be a potent MAO inhibitor and a prodrug for glycine. The present work deals with the aim because Currentely available MAO inhibitors {Isocarboxazid (Marplan), Phenelzine (Nardil), Selegiline (Emsam), Tranylcypromine (Parnate) etc} develop side effects because they do not selectively for MAO-A and MAO-B. So, the present study is focused to develop potent selective MAO-A inhibitors, to treat depression, that may be of better pharmacological activity with less adverse effect.","PeriodicalId":14206,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Research and Development in Pharmacy and Life Sciences","volume":"34 1","pages":"2931-2940"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-01-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77828871","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}

Women make up for almost half of the total population of India, but they still lag behind men in a lot of areas. The present study assessed the perception of reproductive mothers about declining sex ratio. Methods: The study was a community based epidemiological study with cross‐sectional design and carried out by house to house visit in an urban slum of district Rohtak and duration was January to June 2017. The study recruited 500 reproductive age group female having age 15-49 years. Results: The present study found that that most of the participants (49%) were in the age group of 25–35 years, 35% of subjects were either illiterate or literate up to primary class and nearly half (55%) of study subjects were belonged to upper caste and 31% of individuals from backward class. Conclusion: The study concluded that factors mainly responsible for down sex ratio are dowry culture and son preference. Besides, poor female literacy and sharp increase in number of ultrasound machines have also contributed to the skewed sex ratio.","PeriodicalId":14206,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Research and Development in Pharmacy and Life Sciences","volume":"2 1","pages":"2901-2905"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-01-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81718905","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 SNP of MTR and MTRR genes has been reported in some populations, but in the Indian population has never been explored. This study is focused on the frequency distributions of rs1805087 (D919G/A2756G) and rs1801394 (I22M/A66G) of these genes in the West Bengal population, India for the first time. The G allele frequencies of rs1085087 and rs1801394 were 8% and 47% respectively. The G allele frequency of MTR rs1085087 in Indian population is less than the other major population; such as, in European (17%), American (18%), African (28%) and South Asian (32%) population. The G allele frequency of MTRR rs1801394 is quite like the European and south Asian population (G=52%) but greatly differs from African (25%), East Asian (26%) and mixed American (28%) population. This observation might help us to understand pattern of genetic alteration and development of single screening protocol for early detection and better prognosis in future.","PeriodicalId":14206,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Research and Development in Pharmacy and Life Sciences","volume":"30 1","pages":"2896-2900"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-01-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79351408","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}

Methods: Microspheres were produced by Emulsion solvent evaporation method using Carboxy Methyl cellulose (CMC) and Carbopol 934P (CP) as hydrogel forming polymers. Results and Discussion: Mucoadhesive sustained release microspheres of Aceclofenac were prepared using carboxymethyl cellulose sodium and carbomer 934P hydrogel forming polymers. Carboxymethyl cellulose sodium and Carbomer 934P were used in 1/3 and 1/6w/w proportion in the preparation. Scanning electron microscopy revealed the uneven outer surface of the microspheres. Invitro dissolution test was carried out in simulated gastric fluid pH 1.2 and simulated intestinal fluid pH 6.8. Release of Aceclofenac from microspheres was found sustained, dependent on the erosion of crosslinking of carbopol 934P. Invitro mucoadhesive study was done on fresh stomach mucosa of chicken and chicken egg shell membrane. Invivo gastroenteric conveyance of microspheres was done in Male Sprague-Dawley rats. Conclusion: Invitro drug release is sustained for the period of 14 hrs. In-vitro Mucoadhesion evaluation can be done either on chicken stomach mucous membrane or chicken eggshell membrane.","PeriodicalId":14206,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Research and Development in Pharmacy and Life Sciences","volume":"36 1","pages":"2862-2866"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77427276","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}

Study was undertaken with objective to assess the knowledge of Accredited Social Health Activists (ASHAs), considered key frontline workers, regarding danger signs of pregnancy and birth preparedness services provided. Material and Methods: Cross-sectional descriptive study, undertaken in Community Health Centre, Dubaldhan, rural field practice area of PGIMS, Rohtak. 60 ASHAs of total 120 posted in the area were recruited for study. Results: More than three fourth ASHAs (78.3%) identified swollen hands and feet as danger sign while only 28% considered blurred vision as danger sign during antenatal period. Almost 40% knew about all 3 key danger signs of post-natal period followed by ante natal (15%) and natal period (6.7%). Knowledge score about danger signs of pregnancy was higher in ASHAs who were graduates as compared to those educated up to middle class. Conclusion: The knowledge of danger signs and birth preparedness services provided by ASHAs is poor, emphasizing the need to raise the knowledge and awareness about components of BPCR towards reducing maternal and infant mortality.","PeriodicalId":14206,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Research and Development in Pharmacy and Life Sciences","volume":"61 1","pages":"2850-2855"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83430050","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}
