  Abstract
  Virgin Coconut Oil (VCO) was prepared from four coconut varieties viz., West Coast Tall, Arasampatti Tall, Deejay and Tiptur Tall. The Fresh-Dry methodology was optimized by three common variable parameters like temperature viz., 30±1ºC, 35±1ºC, 40±1º C, 45±1ºC, Drying intervals viz., 24hrs, 36hrs, 48 hrs, 60hrs and fruit maturity like 10, 11, 12 and 13 month old coconuts was taken to estimate the yielding efficiency of VCO .The yielding efficiencies are calculated from the four Coconut varieties by comparing the total percentage of Oil extracted from Soxhlet method. Among the four, the maximum yielding efficiency 95.33% was obtained in WCT Coconuts drying with 45º C. In the second process variable, where the maximum yield efficiency was showed that is 93.06% with 48 hrs drying. The third process variable showed the same maximum value of 93.06% as in second process variable by employing 12 month old coconuts The coconut varieties are taken in this research study, showed different yield composition of fatty acid profile especially the lauric acid percentage, which was registered maximum that is 51.20% at “WCT Coconuts” and in other coconut varieties such as AT, DJ and TT Coconuts were noted as 50.10%, 49.23% and 48.55% respectively.

  Abstract
  Unani System of medicine is one among the oldest systems that prevails till date with its efficient drugs derived from animal, plant and mineral resources. Over 2400 years ago, the father of medicine Hippocrates practiced it; however His medicine included a great deal of ancient Egyptian medicine as well as important components of the ancient Mesopotamian traditions. In modern medicine, Palpitation is described as an uncomfortable awareness of one’s own heartbeat and is a clinical entity with varied etiology ranging from benign causes to serious arrhythmias. In Unani system of medicine, the modern equivalent term for palpitation is Khafaqān. A large number of drugs, single and compound formulations, have been mentioned in the context of the treatment of Khafaqān. Dawa ul Misk Motadil Sada is one of the most reputed poly pharmaceutical preparations of Unani system of Medicine used in Khafaqān, as cardiac tonic in arrhythmia and as general tonic.

  Abstract
  The species of the reduviid bugs of family Reduviidae under Order Heteroptera (Insecta: Reduviidae) is not only one of the most abundant groups but also showing significant economics and high scientific value. Many reduviid species play an important role in the food chain of animals and plants, as well as the ecological balance. Population dynamics of reduviid bugs were studied during June 2018- March 2019 in semi-arid area in Sivakasi Taluk. The reduviids were randomly collected and identified some field records. A total of 11 species belonging to 5 subfamilies were identified in selected study area. During the study period maximum numbers of reduviid bugs were recorded during the November 2018 and minimum numbers of reduviid bugs were recorded during March 2019. Monthly variation in relative abundance of reduviid population also noted. Various diversity indices were recorded and correlation co-efficient studies were carried out between reduviid bug diversity and weather parameters.

  Abstract
  Phytoremediative potential of Sansevieria roxburghianawas studied in association with siderophore producing bacteria Pseudomonas flourescens in synthetic medium supplemented with different concentrations of lead (40, 80, 120 and 160 mg/L)over aperiod of 30 daysalong with control.Thechlorophyll content decreasedindicatingincreased production of reactive oxygen species effecting photosynthetic activity, this was confirmed by increased malondialdehyde content. The highest concentrations of Pb 6.1 mg g-1 and 26.4 mg g–1 were accumulated in shoots and roots of S.roxburghianagrown on Pb-rich synthetic medium inoculated with Pseudomonas flourescenscompared with uninoculated plants4.2 mg g–1 and 20.23 mg g–1. In S.roxburghianabioconcentration factor (BCF) increased with increase in lead concentration (P<0.05) beforePseudomonas flourescensinoculation and after inoculation BCF showed increase upto 160mg/L and reduced upon increasing concentration of metal.Decrease in biomass with increase in Pd concentration at 40 mg and 80 mgis observed and decreased gradually. Translocation factor (TF) increased at 40 mg, 80 mg but not at 120 mg, 160 mg concentrations without Pseudomonas flourescens and is also not significant with addition of Pseudomonas at all concentrations.The tolerance index showed increase at 40,80 concentrations and low at 120,160 mg concentrations even with inoculation of Pseudomonas flourescens. From the results it is revealed that theS.roxburghianaalong with Pseudomonas flourescens can contribute for more accumulation and high degradative potential towards lead.

  Abstract
  The present experiment was conducted to analyze the effect of sub-lethal concentration of 1.11mg/l of arsenic (III) oxide over long-term (15, 30, 45, 60 days) exposure on the liver of zebrafish. The arsenic (III) oxide exposed zebrafish liver showed a significant increase in arsenic bioaccumulation with the increase of exposure duration. The activities of lipid peroxidation (LPO) markers like thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) were also significantly increased with the increase of arsenic exposure duration, while the antioxidant enzymes such as superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and reduced glutathione (GSH) activities were notably increased during the initial short term arsenic exposure (15 and/or 30 days), but later decreased significantly in the fishes that were exposed to arsenic for an extended period (45 & 60 days) when compared to normal. Further, the hepatic enzymes like alanine transaminase (ALT), aspartate transaminase (AST) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) levels were significantly increased in serum, and degenerative changes were also found in the histology of the zebrafish liver. Thus, the above results suggest that long-term exposure to arsenic can lead to bioaccumulation of arsenic as well as alter the function and tissue architecture of the zebrafish liver.

  Abstract
  The present study reports potential activities like cytotoxic, genotoxic and apoptotic activity of phenolic compound 4-(4-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)hexahydrofuro[3,4-c]furan-1-yl)-2-methoxyphenyl acetate isolated from methanolic extract of Pandanus odorattissimus. The compound showed a significant cytotoxic effect on MDA-MB-231 cell line. Exposure of the compound reduced the viability of MDA-MB-231 cells after 24, 48 and 72 hours, the compound exerted a significant cytotoxic effect on MDA-MB-231 cells. The compound also induced significant DNA damage. The results of comet assay with pattern of the MDA-MB-231 cells has shown an intact head and complete absence of DNA fragments in the form of tail suggesting that the doses are not genototoxic. The phenolic compound at concentration of 20 µg/mL, showed an increase in percentage tail of DNA upto 5.87 units when compared to control 5.05.

  Abstract
  Rhizosphere microorganisms harbour the plant accumulators and contribute to the metal extraction process. Out of bacteria and fungi, bacteria were more tolerant to heavy metals than fungi. A variety of bacteria growing in metalliferous soils helps to accumulate metals in plants in their harvestable parts and have the potential to be used for remediation of heavy metal polluted lands called plant-assisted bioremediation. The present review focuson examining the current concepts and published data on the role of rhizosphere processes, heavy metal pollution, degradation,role of rhizodeposits, plant hormones, plant secondary metabolites, siderophores and carboxylic acids and conclude with major controls that may be used for their management in plant-assisted bioremediation.

  Abstract
  Bergia suffruticosa (Elatinaceae) is a plant that is collected from western Sudan. It is popularly used traditionally in the treatment as wounds healer and osteitis. This research aims to screen the cytotoxicity as well as antioxidants and the impact as antitumor of Bergia suffruticosa metabolites. Metabolites were extracted using different organic solvents to increasing polarity. The antioxidant was assessed using free radical scavenging activity DPPH. The petroleum ether extract was revealed the strongest antioxidant with IC50 89±0.01µg/ml, while the aqueous extract was revealed no antioxidant activity. The cytotoxicity was evaluated using the Brine shrimp lethality assay. Petroleum ether metabolites revealed high cytotoxicity with LD50 0.04ppm while the other metabolites were exhibited no cytotoxicity. The antitumor activity was assessed using SRB assay against tumor cell lines, breast carcinoma cell line (MCF7), Prostate carcinoma cell line (PC3), colon carcinoma cell line (HCT116). All metabolites were revealed activity against all cancer cells tested. The highest activity against breast cancer was exhibited by ethyl acetate with IC50 17 µg/ml. the petroleum ether extract was revealed the highest activity against prostate cancer cells with IC50 17.9 µg/ml.

  Abstract
  Improving seed germination can result in increased crop production. Various methods have been used and formulated to increase seed germination and growing efficiency of agricultural crops. Seed priming is one of the successful technologies to maximise the natural potential of seeds in the field. In the present study, growth parameters and nutrient contents were studied in the seeds of three different leafy vegetables such as Amaranthus gangeticus, Hibiscus sabdariffa and Trigonella foenum - graecum primed with 1% solution of Panchagavya at different time intervals. The results showed that seed priming with Panchagavya had a significant effect on seed germination, seedling growth and nutrient contents of all the three selected leafy vegetables.

  Abstract
  Bipolar disorder (BD) is a complex psychiatric mood disorder associated with swinging episodes of mania and depression. Lifetime prevalence of BD is 1% and bipolar spectrum disorder is 2.4%. BD is associated with high rate of premature mortality. Suicidal deaths are familiar in BD compared to general population. Early recognition helps in better treatment of the disorder so as to protect the individual from suicidal thoughts and also from socioeconomic burden.In the present study, epidemiological data was collected from Government Hospital for Mental Care, Visakhapatnam. Most of the patients who attended the hospital belonged to coastal districts of Andhra Pradesh. Of all the mental disorders diagnosed in the hospital, during the period January, 2014 to December, 2018, schizophrenia ranks first with highest number of cases. Regarding BD, more number of males were affected when compared to females. Highest prevalence was observed in 21 -30 years age group. Mania was the most common episode in both the sexes compared to depression.
