Single dose and multiple dose influence of, Coenzyme Q10 in chlorpromazine induced catatonia was studied in adults albino rats of either sex. The study intended to find the role of antioxidants coenzyme Q10 in controlling extrapyramidal side effects. Phenothiazine derivatives produce catatonia as an unwanted side effect when used especially for prolonged periods of time in psychiatric disorders. The catatonia was induced in albino rats using chlorpromazine in the dose of 0.9mg/200g p.o. and the degree of catatonia was recorded.
Coenzyme Q10 was administered first followed by chlorpromazine after 30 minutes p.o in single dose studies. In multiple dose studies Coenzyme Q10 was administered for 8 days followed by the combination of Coenzyme Q10 and chlorpromazine on 9th day as described above and the degree of catatonia was scored. The study reveals that coenzyme Q10 produced statistically significant reduction of extrapyramidal symptoms in both single and multiple dose studies. Thus coenzyme Q10 has beneficial effects in controlling the toxicity symptoms of phenothiazines. Since, coenzyme Q10 is used safely in the form of food supplement it can be recommended in patients who are using phenothiazine derivatives for prolonged periods of time.

Peptic ulcer is a chronic and appalling disease. Today, it is dominant among the diseases that affect the world's population. The principal factors causing this disease are inadequate dietetic habits, prolonged use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, stress and infection by Helicobacter pylori, in addition to other factors of genetic origin. The present study was designed to evaluate the combination effect of vitamin E with lansoprazole against pylorus ligation induced ulcer model in rats. The antiulcer effect of the combination of vitamin E 0.9mg/200g and lansoprazole 0.54mg/200g b.w. orally was compared with the reference standard lansoprazole 0.54mg/200 g b.w. orally. The ulcer index and other biochemical parameters like volume, pH, free acidity and total acidity of gastric juice were estimated. The ulcer index and other biochemical parameters like volume (***P < 0.001), free acidity (***P < 0.001), total acidity (***P < 0.001) and pH (**P < 0.01), of gastric juice showed reduction when compared to standard lansoprazole. The percentage protection of combination was 92.9% as compared to standard lansoprazole 82.8%. Thus the combination group was found to be synergistic in nature when compared to lansoprazole alone.Keywords

Leprosy is a chronic infectious disease caused by M Lepare. It affects mainly the peripheral nerves. It also affects the skin, muscles, eyes, bones, testes, and internal organs. In India, leprosy is known since ancient times as Kustiaroga and attributed to punishment or cause from God. During the middle ages, leprosy was widespread in almost all countries of the world. Thereafter, it declined slowly in many countries, partly due to strict isolation and partly due to improvements in the standard of living and the quality of life of the people. The study aimed to assess psychological distress and quality of life among persons with leprosy. This cross sectional study included 60 persons with Leprosy from Leprosy colony of Telangana, India, after obtaining their written consent. A semi-structured tool was used to elicit socio-demographic details. The psychological distress was assessed with DASS (21 items) and quality of life was assessed with WHOQOL-BREF (25 items). Data was analyzed with descriptive statistics tests and T-test were used. Ethical issues have been followed while conducting the study. It was found that majority of the respondents have psychological distress without any significant difference in male and female respondents which means both respondents psychological distress scale was elevating in depression, anxiety and stress domains due to leprosy and all most all domains of quality of life shows respondents were having poor quality of life. The findings from this study indicates that there was enormous scope for the social workers, they need to play various roles like preventive, curative, developmental and remedial roles for reducing psychological distress and to improve their quality of life among persons with leprosy.Keywords

A simple and specific UV derivative spectroscopy and RP-HPLC was developed for buclizine hydrochloride. These methods are carried out by using 234 nm as the wavelength and 100% v/v methanol as solvent. Second derivative spectroscopy was developed to minimize the interferences. The linearity ranges were 10-50 mcg/ml for derivative spectroscopy and 1-10 mcg/ml for the RP-HPLC respectively. Chromatographic separation was made on Phenomenex Luna C18 (250 mm × 4.6 mm, 5μ) column at room temperature with 1.0 ml/min as flow rate and the injection volume was 20 μl. The retention time was found to be 7.15 min. The high recovery and low relative standard deviation confirms the suitability of the methods for the determination of buclizine hydrochloride in pharmaceutical dosage forms.Keywords

Worldwide, epidemiological surveys have estimated rates of lifetime prevalence of mental disorders among adults and children ranging from 12.2 to 48.6%, and 12-month prevalence rates ranging from 8.4 to 29.1%. Recognizing barriers and their individual contributions to delaying or preventing access to mental health services is a key step to overcome obstacles. To assess barriers to access psychiatric care in children and adolescents with first episode psychosis.

Taxonomists seldom stumble upon rare species in explorations, and it is unlikely that they realize the rarity of the material immediately. At best, they could consider such materials interesting and call for greater scrutiny in the fixing of correct identities. One such collection was made while exploring the South Indian species of Habenaria Willd. (Orchidaceae) in Agasthyamalai hills, Tamil Nadu (TN), India.References
