  5. Article: Physiological Studies on Seedling Growth in Groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) under Interactive Effects of Cadmium and Zinc

    Dutta, D. / Pal, A. K. / Acharjee, P. U.

    Russian journal of plant physiology. 2021 July, v. 68, no. Supplement 1

    2021  

    Abstract: Seedlings of groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) ‘TG-51’ were raised in sand culture in presence of three different concentrations of cadmium (100, 300 and 500 µM) and two concentrations of zinc (50 and 150 µM) along with their combinations. In general, the ... ...

    Abstract Seedlings of groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) ‘TG-51’ were raised in sand culture in presence of three different concentrations of cadmium (100, 300 and 500 µM) and two concentrations of zinc (50 and 150 µM) along with their combinations. In general, the root accumulated several times higher content of both the metals than leaf. It was noted that uptake of Cd by root decreased in combined treatment in comparison with the sole application of cadmium. The dry weight of root, stem, leaf as well as the whole seedling significantly decreased under cadmium stress compared to unstressed control. Zinc supplementation in the growing medium minimized the adverse effects of cadmium on seedling growth to some extent but could not completely override it. Presence of zinc in combination with cadmium could further the enhancement of proline accumulation under heavy metal stress at 100 and 300 µM Cd but not at the highest concentration. Zinc supplementation in combination with cadmium also lowered the damaging effect of cadmium on leaf membrane to some extent.Higher supplement of Zn was able to enhance dismutation of Cd-triggered superoxide radical by superoxide dismutase enzyme, facilitating its subsequent detoxification through the involvement of peroxidase and catalase enzymes, thereby highlighting its protective role against oxidative damage under heavy metal stress. The results of PCA indicated that strong positive loadings of dry weight of root, leaves as well as whole seedling at PC 1 (55.7%) while the activities of SOD, GPOX and catalase enzymes at PC 2 (16%) mostly contributed towards discrimination among different treatments.

    Abstract Plants are frequently exposed to a variety of stress conditions such as drought, salinity, heavy metal toxicity, low temperature, flooding, extremes of soil pH and heat which causes reduction of plant growth and productivity. Such abiotic stresses may cause metabolic impairment, nutrient imbalance, reduced synthesis of photosynthetic pigments which are closely related with biomass production in plant, thus, causing serious loss in crop productivity. The present experiment was undertaken to study the biochemical and physiological effects of salinity, drought and heavy metal (copper and lead) stress on seed germination in ricebean [Vigna umbellata (Thunb.) Ohwi and Ohashi] variety Bidhan 1. For studying the effect of iso-osmotic potential of salinity and drought stress, the solutions of NaCl and PEG 6000 with − 0.2, − 0.4 and − 0.8 MPa osmotic potential were used whereas the solutions of 50, 100 and 200 µM Cu and Pb supplemented in the form of CuSO₄.·5H₂O and Pb(NO₃)₂ respectively were used to study the effects of equimolar concentrations of copper and lead. Drought was found to produce more adverse effects on germination %, as well as speed of germination, in the seeds of ricebean. The seed protein content was significantly higher under all the treatments of salinity, drought stress as well as metal stress. The highest intensity of copper stress was found to produce more adverse effects than lead in respect of water uptake % in germinating seeds and root elongation rates of ricebean seeds in the present experiment. The presence of copper in the germinating medium produced more detrimental effects on activities of antioxidative enzyme ascorbate peroxidase and guaiacol peroxidase than equimolar concentrations of lead.

    Abstract Mango is being used for centuries to treat a number of diseases like, fever, diarrhea, fainting, abnormality of lymph node, and diabetes. The mango parts are shown to contain flavonoids, tannins, alkaloids, terpenoids, anthraquinones, saponins, cardiac glycosides, steroids and many more bioactive compounds; mangiferin being one of its major compounds. The different parts of mango (bark, leaves, fruits, pulp, peel, kernel, flowers) are proven to exhibit anthelmintic, anti-bacterial, anti-bone resorption, anticancer, anti-diabetic, anti-diarrheal, anti-fungal, anti-HIV, anti-hyperlipemic, antiinflammatory, anti-microbial, antioxidant, anti-parasitic, anti-pyretic, anti-plasmodial, anti-spasmodic, anti-viral, gastro-protective, hepato-protective, hypoglycemic, hypolipidemic, and immuno-modulatory and hypolipidemic properties. These pharmacological properties of mango are due to the bioactive compounds present in the different mango parts. In literature several reviews appeared dealing with the bioactive compounds present in the different mango parts and their bioactivities. However, these reviews are confined to either a few mango parts or a few bioactivities. In the present review the bioactive compounds of the different mango parts and their different bioactivities are considered in detail. This review would be helpful in the further research on the mango phytochemicals, their bioactivities and the development of herbal medicine based on mango.

    Abstract Background: Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) has been a breakthrough in the stimulation and acceleration of bone and soft tissue healing. It represents a relatively new biotechnology that is part of the growing interest in tissue engineering and cellular therapy.
    Methods: A prospective study was carried out in 50 patients. The cases were selected randomly in the age group of 8-50 years who needed bone grafts for alveolar cleft defects and surgical defects following removal of osteolytic jaw lesions. They were divided into study group with autologous PRP and control group without PRP. Bone density was calculated as per Hounsfield scale preoperatively and post-operatively for both the groups.
    Results: There was significant difference in the Hounsfield units at 06 months and 12 months post-operatively in both the groups showing good amount of bone regeneration. The preoperative volume of the defect and the post-operative volume of the regenerated bone were statistically analysed. The mean V2 was 0.7652 cc for the study group, whereas for control group, it was 0.4840 cc. The volume ratio for study group was 0.9070 and for control group was 0.6740. This showed greater bone regeneration in the study group. The results were statistically significant for both the groups.
    Conclusion: PRP is a new application of tissue engineering and a developing area of interest for clinicians and researchers. It is a storage vehicle for growth factors, especially PDGF and TGF-b, both of which influence bone regeneration, and also eliminates the concerns about immunogenic reactions and disease transmission. PRP does enhance the healing of bone grafts in the maxillofacial region as shown by the increase in the density of bone.

    Abstract Till the day the rectal cancer deaths in the world is in eighth position. For rectal cancer surgery, short-term benefits are expected to be similar for laparoscopic resection of rectum (LRR) and open resection of rectum (ORR). In Bangladesh though the rectal cancer is the sixteenth most common cause of cancer deaths, there is lack of data regarding outcomes of laparoscopic and open surgical approaches for carcinoma rectum. Purpose of study was to compare oncopathological outcomes by quality of surgical resection between LRR and ORR groups. The quasi experimental study was conducted among 46 subjects who attended in the Department of Colorectal Surgery, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University, Bangladesh from July 2020 to June 2021 with rectal adenocarcinoma within 15cm from the anal verge. Equal number of subjects were allocated for LRR and ORR group. Oncopathological end points such as circumferential resection margin (CRM), distal resection margin (DRM), lymph nodes and quality of mesorectal excision were assessed and compared. Here every patients have given their written consent for this study. Mean age of the subjects for LRR and ORR were 45.47±12.66 and 44.47±12.48 years respectively. Majority of the subjects were in age above 40 years (67.0%). The proportion of male (56.5%) were higher than those of female (43.5%). The complete resection was better in LRR (91.3%) than ORR (87.0%) group though statistically not significant. CRM was lower in LRR (0.0%) than ORR (13.0%) group in respect of frequency distribution. DRM was negative for both LRR and ORR group (95.7% each) and it was not statistically significant. ORR met the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) criteria of harvesting 12 lymph nodes were as in LRR group 10 lymph nodes were harvested. The mean harvested lymph nodes were 12.2±5.55 and 10.1±5.55 in LRR and ORR group respectively. The study demonstrated that LRR is better (though statistically not significant) in respect of complete resection and CRM while in harvesting lymph nodes, ORR met the NCCN criteria but LRR does not. There is no difference observed regarding DRM in both groups. On oncopathological point of view both the group showed almost equally effective results. Laparoscopic surgery can be opted as the standard operative technique for surgical management of rectal cancer.

    Abstract Background: Sideswipe injuries of elbow often poses significant functional loss resulting from devastating injuries involving osseoligamentous structures as well as multilevel soft tissue injuries around the elbow. Inspite of treatment, no conscientious treatment opinion is available in the literature to provide optimum functional outcome. The objective of this study is to evaluate the results of prosthetic replacement of old healed sideswipe injuries of elbow with gross dysfunctional disabilities resulting from loss of bones and muscles around the joint.
    Materials and methods: Fourteen patients of 2-3 years old healed sideswipe injuries of the elbow, treated by Baksi sloppy hinge (original version in seven and recent version in seven) prosthetic replacement were evaluated. All had normal neurovascular status except two; one having ulnar nerve deficit the other median nerve in another. The mean age was 42.7 years (range 32-61 years).
    Results: The average followup period was 13.5 years (range 5.11-23.11 years). Ten patients regained stable 0° to 130° elbow flexion, and four had restricted terminal flexion with arc 10°-115° following V-Y plasty of contracted triceps. Mean supination was 22° and mean pronation was 35°. According to Mayo Elbow Performance Score (MEPS), excellent results were in five (35.7%), good in six (42.8%), and fair in one (7.1%). Two patients (14.2%) needed removal of prosthesis due to intractable delayed infection and considered failure. Following removal, the resected elbow retained relatively stable motions due to mature fibrous tissues connecting the adjacent bone ends and reorientation of muscle balance. Postoperative improvement of MEPS (mean 84) was significant (
    Conclusion: Prosthetic replacement of elbow is an effective salvage procedure in old healed sideswipe injuries.
