This is a prospective cross-sectional study. A total of 119 corneas were graded using slit-lamp examination and specular microscopy before and after transportation. Groups were made based on the weight of ice used during transportation and the number of hours of storage in McCarey-Kaufman (MK) media. The overall median percentage of endothelial cell loss (ECL) was 11.33%. The median percentage of ECL was significantly more with <500 g of ice as compared to ≥500 g (13.6% vs. 7.56%) with P = 0.006. There was no significant difference in percentage of ECL on storage in MK media for ≤48 h, ≤72 h, and ≤96 h. Corneal buttons have ECL on storage and transportation which can be minimized using the appropriate weight of ice during transportation.

Antibiotic resistance occurs when bacteria change in response to the use of these medicines.Bacteria, not humans or animals, become antibiotic-resistant. These bacteria may infect humans and animals, and the infections they cause are harder to treat than those caused by non-resistant bacteria.Antibiotic resistance leads to higher medical costs, prolonged hospital stays, and increased mortality.The world urgently needs to change the way it prescribes and uses antibiotics. Even if new medicines are developed, without behaviour change, antibiotic resistance will remain a major threat. Behaviour changes must also include actions to reduce the spread of infections through vaccination, hand washing, practising safer sex, and good food hygiene.

Diabetes was induced by streptozotocin (65 mg/kg i.p.) injected 15 min after nicotinamide (110 mg/kg, i.p.). The rats were divided into following groups: Group 1: non-diabetic control, Group 2: diabetic control (saline), Groups 3, 4, 5 received TRIG as 25, 50, 100 mg/kg p.o., Groups 6, 7, 8 received SITA as 2.5, 5, 10 mg/kg p.o. respectively. For acute study, serum glucose (SG) levels were measured at 0, 2nd, 4th, 6th and 24th hour after administration. To find out effective combination, acute study of TRIG + SITA combination was done. The doses used are in combination TRIG + SITA as Groups 9, 10, 11 as 70% + 30%, 50% + 50%, 30 + 70%. SG was measured as per above-mentioned pattern. A 28-day subacute study was performed by taking effective percentage combination of TRIG + SITA. For subacute study SG, body weight was measured on 7th, 14th, 21st, 28th day; while serum insulin, HbA 1c and pancreatic histopathological study were done on 28th day. In acute study, TRIG + SITA (50% + 50%) were more effectively 43.08% reduction in SG level at 6 h with onset at 2 h and effect waned at 24 h. Subacute study reveals that the TRIG + SITA (50% + 50%) reduces SG by 54.72% than alone on 28th day. Serum insulin levels, body weight, pancreatic mass were increased with reduction in HbA 1c levels in animals receiving 50% + 50% combination of TRIG + SITA. The concomitant administration of TRIG + SITA (50% + 50%) contributes in the prevention to development diabetes and showed synergistic antihyperglycemic effect.

GAL from fenugreek (Trigonella foenum graecum L.) seeds has been shown to have promising but inconsistent anti-hyperglycemic activity due to variable composition. Aim: We have isolated and characterized low molecular weight GAL fraction from fenugreek seeds (LMWGAL-TF) and evaluated its anti-hyperglycemic potential. Materials and methods: LMWGAL-TF was isolated, well characterized (HPLC and LC-MS) and evaluated for anti-hyperglycemic activity after acute and subacute oral treatment in doses of 50, 100 and 200 mg/kg in alloxan-induced hyperglycemia in mice. Results: The isolated LMWGAL-TF was of 91.5% purity with low molecular weight. LMWGAL-TF showed dose-dependent anti-hyperglycemic activity against alloxan-induced hyperglycemia without body weight gain, and protected mice pancreas from alloxan-induced histological changes. Conclusions: LMWGAL-TF showed promising and dose-dependent anti-hyperglycemic effects in animal model of DM.

Methods: Diabetes was induced in Wistar rats by administration of nicotinamide (NICO; 110 mg/kg) and streptozotocin (STZ; 65 mg/kg) intraperitonelly (i.p.). After confirmation of diabetes, rats were divided into following groups i.e. group 1: non-diabetic rats (ND); Group 2: diabetic rats (DC); Group 3: TRIG (50 mg/kg, p.o.); Group 4: SITA (5 mg/kg, p.o.); Group 5: TRIG + SITA (50 + 5 mg/kg, p.o.). Treatment with selected dose of TRIG and SITA was started from 3rd week after NICO-STZ injection and was continued up to 11th week. Cardiomyopathy was assessed by measuring serum glucose level, enzymatic cardiac markers, electrographic abnormalities, heamodynamic changes, lipid levels and histological examination of isolated heart tissue of treated animals. Results: NICO-STZ diabetic rats showed extensive hyperglycemia, hyperlipidemia, and elevated levels of enzymatic cardiac markers compared to non-diabetic rats. Concomitant and monotherapy treatment of TRIG and SITA exhibited significant decrease in hyperglycemia as compared to diabetic rats. Whereas TRIG + SITA considerably reduced hyperlipidemia, alteration in levels enzymatic cardiac markers and improvement in cardiac function by improved electrographic abnormalities and heamodynamic changes. Overall, the findings revealed in this investigation demonstrated that concomitant administration of TRIG + SITA can be strong pharmacological therapy as compared to monotherapy used for the treatment of hyperglycemia, hyperlipidemia and cardiac dysfunctions in NICO-STZ-induced cardiomyopathy in Wistar rats. Conclusion: We conclude that concomitant administration of TROG and SITA showed additive cardioprotective effect compared to monotherapy.

Seventy-six eyes of 65 consecutive patients with PUK were evaluated in this prospective interventional study over an 18 month period, which were followed for 3 years. The main outcome measures were sociodemographic profile, aetiology, clinical features, management strategies and outcome. Sixty per cent (39/65) of cases were men and mean age was 45.5±17.9 years. Two-thirds (43/65) of the patients were from rural areas with majority (48/65) belonging to low socioeconomic status. Unilateral disease was present in 83% of patients (54/65) with nasal involvement in 60.5% (46/76) cases. The most common aetiology was Mooren's ulcer (31.5% cases (24/76 eyes)) followed by infection and systemic collagen vascular disease. Meibomian gland dysfunction (17/76: 22.3%) was the most common extraocular association and complicated cataract (12/76:15.7%) was the most common ...

Present work was focused on designing a thioester- linked mutual prodrug of captopril and as a combination therapy. The main objectives were to extend duration of action of furosemide, conserve normal potassium levels in body, minimize thiol- induced side effects of captopril, lower the gastric irritant effect of furosemide and achieve synergistic antihypertensive effect. The thioester prodrug FC was synthesized and characterized by spectral analysis. In vitro release was studied by HPTLC. It was screened for diuretic and antihypertensive effects in experimental models in Wistar rats. In the small intestinal homogenates, 95% hydrolysis of FC was observed at the end of 7h. FC showed many promising features like prolonged duration of diuretic activity, synergistic...

Diabetes was induced by streptozotocin (65 mg/kg i.p.) injected 15 min after nicotinamide (110 mg/kg, i.p.). The rats were divided into following groups: Group 1: non-diabetic control, Group 2: diabetic control (saline), Groups 3, 4, 5 received TRIG as 25, 50, 100 mg/kg p.o., Groups 6, 7, 8 received SITA as 2.5, 5, 10 mg/kg p.o. respectively. For acute study, serum glucose (SG) levels were measured at 0, 2nd, 4th, 6th and 24th hour after administration. To find out effective combination, acute study of TRIG + SITA combination was done. The doses used are in combination TRIG + SITA as Groups 9, 10, 11 as 70% + 30%, 50% + 50%, 30 + 70%. SG was measured as per above-mentioned pattern. A 28-day subacute study was performed by taking effective percentage combination of TRIG + SITA. For subacute study SG, body weight was measured on 7th, 14th, 21st, 28th day; while serum insulin, HbA 1c and pancreatic histopathological study were done on 28th day. In acute study, TRIG + SITA (50% + 50%) were more effectively 43.08% reduction in SG level at 6 h with onset at 2 h and effect waned at 24 h. Subacute study reveals that the TRIG + SITA (50% + 50%) reduces SG by 54.72% than alone on 28th day. Serum insulin levels, body weight, pancreatic mass were increased with reduction in HbA 1c levels in animals receiving 50% + 50% combination of TRIG + SITA. The concomitant administration of TRIG + SITA (50% + 50%) contributes in the prevention to development diabetes and showed synergistic antihyperglycemic effect.

GAL from fenugreek (Trigonella foenum graecum L.) seeds has been shown to have promising but inconsistent anti-hyperglycemic activity due to variable composition. Aim: We have isolated and characterized low molecular weight GAL fraction from fenugreek seeds (LMWGAL-TF) and evaluated its anti-hyperglycemic potential. Materials and methods: LMWGAL-TF was isolated, well characterized (HPLC and LC-MS) and evaluated for anti-hyperglycemic activity after acute and subacute oral treatment in doses of 50, 100 and 200 mg/kg in alloxan-induced hyperglycemia in mice. Results: The isolated LMWGAL-TF was of 91.5% purity with low molecular weight. LMWGAL-TF showed dose-dependent anti-hyperglycemic activity against alloxan-induced hyperglycemia without body weight gain, and protected mice pancreas from alloxan-induced histological changes. Conclusions: LMWGAL-TF showed promising and dose-dependent anti-hyperglycemic effects in animal model of DM.

Methods: Diabetes was induced in Wistar rats by administration of nicotinamide (NICO; 110 mg/kg) and streptozotocin (STZ; 65 mg/kg) intraperitonelly (i.p.). After confirmation of diabetes, rats were divided into following groups i.e. group 1: non-diabetic rats (ND); Group 2: diabetic rats (DC); Group 3: TRIG (50 mg/kg, p.o.); Group 4: SITA (5 mg/kg, p.o.); Group 5: TRIG + SITA (50 + 5 mg/kg, p.o.). Treatment with selected dose of TRIG and SITA was started from 3rd week after NICO-STZ injection and was continued up to 11th week. Cardiomyopathy was assessed by measuring serum glucose level, enzymatic cardiac markers, electrographic abnormalities, heamodynamic changes, lipid levels and histological examination of isolated heart tissue of treated animals. Results: NICO-STZ diabetic rats showed extensive hyperglycemia, hyperlipidemia, and elevated levels of enzymatic cardiac markers compared to non-diabetic rats. Concomitant and monotherapy treatment of TRIG and SITA exhibited significant decrease in hyperglycemia as compared to diabetic rats. Whereas TRIG + SITA considerably reduced hyperlipidemia, alteration in levels enzymatic cardiac markers and improvement in cardiac function by improved electrographic abnormalities and heamodynamic changes. Overall, the findings revealed in this investigation demonstrated that concomitant administration of TRIG + SITA can be strong pharmacological therapy as compared to monotherapy used for the treatment of hyperglycemia, hyperlipidemia and cardiac dysfunctions in NICO-STZ-induced cardiomyopathy in Wistar rats. Conclusion: We conclude that concomitant administration of TROG and SITA showed additive cardioprotective effect compared to monotherapy.
