    Abstract Autophagy is being explored as a potential therapeutic target for enhancing the cytotoxic effects of chemotherapeutic regimens in various malignancies. Autophagy plays a very important role in cancer pathogenesis. Here, we discuss the updates on the modulation of autophagy via dynamic interactions with different organelles and the exploitation of selective autophagy for exploring therapeutic strategies. We further discuss the role of autophagy inhibitors in cancer preclinical and clinical trials, novel autophagy inhibitors, and challenges likely to be faced by clinicians while inducting autophagy modulators in clinical practice.

    Abstract Aim: Trigonelline is a potent phytochemical present in fenugreek, which has strong anti-oxidant and phytoestrogenic activities. This study was carried out to investigate this estrogenic activity as a possible mechanisms involved in preventing the symptoms of osteoporosis in dexamethasone induced osteoporosis in rats.
    Materials and methods: Wistar rats were randomly divided into eight groups, six animals in each group. Osteoporosis was induced using dexamethasone 0.1mg/kg subcutaneously in rats for three times per week for 8 consecutive weeks and treatment with drugs up to 12 weeks as per the treatment schedule described. After 12 weeks, rats were sacrificed; blood samples were collected from each rat and the clear, non hemolysed supernatant sera was used for biochemical examinations. Femurs were used for Bone Mineral Density (BMD), microcomputed tomography (Micro CT), histology and biochemical examinations.
    Results: BMD, bone micro structure, serum calcium, phosphorus level and serum estradiol levels were decreased while serum PTH levels, SAP and acid phosphatase (ACP) were elevated in dexamethasone treated rats as compared to control (p<0.01). Dexmethasone treated animals showed loss of marrow at multifocal area, cartilage and trabeculae and thinning of trabeculae (bone resorption), zone of cartilage was poorly seen and fat cells in marrow. Trigonelline showed significant improvement and prevent the progression of osteoporosis by enhancing the BMD, restoring bone physiology.
    Conclusion: Our results confirm the estrogenic activity of triogonelline, which is responsible for its effects; still, it needs further evaluation in other animal models to provide a more conclusive view for its therapeutic usefulness in osteoporosis.

    Abstract In continuance with earlier reported work, an extension has been carried out by the same research group. Mulling over the ongoing condition of resistance to existing antimalarial agents, we had reported synthesis and antimalarial activity of certain pyrazole-1,3,4-oxadiazole hybrid compounds. Bearing previous results in mind, our research group ideated to design and synthesize some more derivatives with varied substitutions of acetophenone and hydrazide. Following this, derivatives 5a-r were synthesized and tested for antimalarial efficacy by schizont maturation inhibition assay. Further, depending on the literature support and results of our previous series, certain potent compounds (5f, 5n and 5r) were subjected to Falcipain-2 inhibitory assay. Results obtained for these particular compounds further strengthened our hypothesis. Here, in this series, compound 5f having unsubstituted acetophenone part and a furan moiety linked to oxadiazole ring emerged as the most potent compound and results were found to be comparable to that of the most potent compound (indole bearing) of previous series. Additionally, depending on the available literature, compounds (5a-r) were tested for their antileishmanial potential. Compounds 5a, 5c and 5r demonstrated dose-dependent killing of the promastigotes. Their IC

    Abstract Jammu and Kashmir the northern most state of India is blessed with immense potential for utilization of renewable energy. The state at present is fairly untapped in terms of energy utilization and thus venturing into this region would definitely prove to be profitable. The natural energy sources like sunshine, wind, vegetation, water flow, biomass and other biological wastes though abundantly available in the state yet are not being potentially harnessed resulting in very low per capita energy availability, deforestation and poor health. Renewable energy acquires a promising option not only for energy availability next view and of environment protection but also the socio-economic conditions of the people residing in these areas can be improved to a great extent. The hydroelectric power has tremendous potential for generation of electricity in the state because the topography of the state provides extensive network of canals and streams. This paper describes the resource potential and opportunity to enter the market and bring more renewable energy projects in the form of solar, biomass derived fuels, biogas and hydroelectric in the state.

    Abstract Objective: The aim of this is to evaluate the negative predictive value (NPV) of a normal gated myocardial perfusion imaging (NGMPI) with exercise and dipyridamole in a propensity matched population.
    Materials and methods: This is a prospective study conducted at Nuclear Cardiology Department of Karachi Institute of Heart Diseases, Karachi from December 2008 until June 2010. A total of 809 patients with a NGMPI with adequate exercise (558/809) or dipyridamole (251/809) stress were included and followed-up for 12-30 months (mean 24 ± 3 months) for fatal or non-fatal myocardial infarctions (MI).
    Results: Mean ejection fraction (%), end diastolic volume (ml), and end systolic volume (ml) in exercise and dipyridamole cohorts were (72 ± 08, 66 ± 11), (68 ± 13, 81 ± 17), and (19 ± 11, 26 ± 12) respectively. On follow-up, in dipyridamole cohort 2 fatal and 6 non-fatal MIs were reported. While in exercise cohort only 2 non-fatal MIs were reported. The NPV of a NGMPI with exercise was 99.7% (95% confidence interval [CI] 98.93-99.96%) with an event rate of 0.3% (95% CI; 0.03-0.6%) and annualized event rate of 0.15%. The NPV of NGMPI with dipyridamole was 96.80% (95% CI; 2.2-4.3%) with an event rate of 3.2% (95% CI; 1.39-3.83%) and annualized event rate of approximately 1.6%. Event free survival for dipyridamole group was significantly lower than exercise analyzed by Log-rank test (14.509, P < 0.001).
    Conclusion: A NGMPI with dipyridamole stress has higher event rate (low-NPV) as compared with exercise and this raises concern over its credibility to label these patients into low-risk group.

    Abstract Background: There are limited reports on the influence of the immune regulatory genotypes on the efficacy of Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) in man. This study was designed to evaluate the influence of the cytokine genotype interferon (IFN)-gamma +874T/A on T cell in vitro assays in BCG nonresponders (negative to either in vivo or in vitro test with purified protein derivative or both).
    Methods: Ninety healthy children who were without any clinical evidence of the disease, 45 with a BCG-scar and the remaining 45 without scar were assessed for in vitro T cell responses. CD4+ and CD8+ cell counts were measured by flow cytometry. r32kDaBCG (Ag85A-BCG) protein was used to stimulate T cells and IFN-gamma cytokine concentration in the cultures were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Polymorphism in IFN-gamma (+874T/A) region was detected by amplification refractory mutation system-polymerase chain reaction.
    Results: T cell subsets were within the normal range in all subjects. Children with TT genotype showed significantly higher antigen-induced IFN-gamma (P < 0.001) as compared with those with AT/AA genotype. The highest values were observed in children with TT genotype combined with positive antigen-specific peripheral blood mononuclear cells proliferation. Seventy-five percent of the vaccinated children with TT genotype showed high amounts of stimulated IFN-gamma compared with 66% of scar negative and 16% of scar positive but with AA genotype.
    Conclusions: IFN-gamma (+874T/A) polymorphism seemed to be a strong and independent predictor for clinical outcome of both scar-positive and scar-negative children. These results may help in planning future vaccination strategies. The ability to mount in vitro lymphoproliferation did not distinguish the success or failure of BCG vaccination nor predict susceptibility to the disease.

    Abstract Single stranded DNA breaks induced by copper sulfate (CuSO(4)) in mice has been studied in vivo using Alkaline Single Cell Gel Electrophoresis (Comet assay). Mice were administered orally with doses of 0, 1.25, 2.50, 5.00, 7.50, 10.00 and 12.50 mg/kg body weight (b.wt.) of CuSO4 respectively. The samples of whole blood were collected at 24, 48, 72 h, first week and second week post-treatment and the assay was carried out to determine single strand DNA breaks as represented by comet tail-length. In addition, the sample was used to study the repair efficiency by incubating the samples with RPMI medium for 2 h. Results indicated a significant DNA damage at all the doses after treatment with CuSO4 when compared to controls showing a clear dose-dependent response (p < 0.05). A gradual decrease in the tail-lengths from 48 h post-treatment was observed and by second week, the values returned to control levels at all doses. The study on the repair efficiency indicated that mice treated with all the doses of CuSO4 showed decrease in mean comet tail-length indicating repair efficiency capacity but less when compared to those of controls. The study also reveals that comet assay is a sensitive and rapid method for detecting DNA damage caused by trace metals such as copper (Cu).
