The starch synthase 4 (SS4) is a key enzyme for initiation of starch granules and regulation of the starch granule number in chloroplasts of higher plants. These enzymes transfer glucosyl residue from ADPglucose to the non-reducing end of a preexisting glucan chain. The presence of a coiled-coil motive in the N-terminus of Arabidopsis SS4 has been involved in mediating some of the protein-protein interactions. Thus, it was also shown that AtSS4 directly interacts with the plastidial phosphorylase (AtPHS1). However, phosphorylase enzymes are widespread in animals, microorganism, and plants. So far, it was unclear if the observed protein-protein interaction is specific for plant origin phosphorylase enzymes. Therefore, we tested whether or not an animal type phosphorylase, the rabbit muscle phosphorylase a (Pho a), also interacts with AtSS4. Our results show that the protein-protein interaction of AtPHS1 and AtSS4 is specific and cannot archived by Pho a. Furthermore, also a functional interaction between AtSS4 and the Pho a was not detected.

Objective: To assess the iron status in children with sickle cell disease (SCD) and trait (SCT). Design: Prospective, observational, descriptive study. Setting: Referral tertiary hospital in the state of Jharkhand. Methods: 108 consecutive patients of SCD and trait were enrolled and complete hemogram, serum iron and serum ferritin were measured. Results: Patients with SCT were more at risk of having iron deficiency (ID) than SCD.ID was present in patients who had not received or received <5 units of blood transfusion (BT).High iron level was found in all the patients who had received more than 10 units of BT. Serum Ferritin level had linear relationship with units of BT. Conclusion: Patients with SCT were more in number than that of homozygous SCD (2.6:1). Patients with SCT had more chances to have ID than homozygous SCD.

Various researchers have discussed about the styles of leaderships and their ways of communication within the organization among various levels of professionals. This study intent to define the successful style of leadership that is suitable for educational institutions and the type of communication required for the success of the Higher Education institutions. Education though not a business is very competitive today. If there is no proper communication among the three levels of the Management, the success of the institution is debatable. The paper aims to design the dimensions of communication starting with the Top level - Principal/College head, Middle Level - Department head/Chairperson and Bottom level - Faculty members (Professors/Associate Professors/Assistant Professors/Lecturers). Though there are many people above in the Management like CEO/GM/Correspondent and End receivers’ who are the most important stakeholders: Students. But the study focuses only on above mentioned 3 levels as there is huge need to communicate most of the time, among themselves as a team. This study is has identified these three levels of employees in educational institutions as Scholars, who directly contribute to the success of the institution. The objective of the study is to develop suitable leadership style and communication system that can develop trust among the scholars. It is essential for institutions that are evolving and changing for various reasons such as Vision 2030, Accreditation, Competitiveness and achieving global standards.

The association of celiac disease and idiopathic portal hypertension is a rare entity whose etiopathogenic mechanism has not yet been elucidated. We report two cases of celiac disease associated with idiopathic portal hypertension. In both cases celiac disease diagnosis was made based on the positivity of anti-tissue transglutaminase IgA and villous atrophy on the pathological study of duodenal biopsies. Idiopathic portal hypertension was retained after complete biological, radiological and endoscopic assessment excluding all possible causes that can manifest as portal hypertension. Both patients improved after gluten-free diet.

Objectives: To assess the routine laboratory analytes, serum Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH), Lactate Dehydrogenase (LDH) and Uric acid in women with preeclampsia compared to normotensive healthy pregnant women and to determine the concentration of liver enzymes in women with preeclampsia. Materials and Methods: The study was carried out in the Department of Biochemistry of MVJ Medical College and Research Hospital. Thirty women with preeclampsia and thirty normotensive pregnant women admitted to the Department of OBG were recruited for the study. Blood samples were collected and analysed for serum TSH, LDH, uric acid and liver enzymes. Mann Whitney U test was employed to evaluate the significance of the differences obtained between the groups. Results: All three analytes were significantly higher in the case group when compared to controls. LDH and ALT (Alanine transaminase) showed significant difference even within the mild and severe preeclampsia groups. A moderate positive statistically significant correlation (r=0.348, p=0.006) was obtained between serum TSH and LDH. Serum TSH level showed a sensitivity of 66.64%, specificity of 73.33% and a positive predictive value of 71.4%. A De Ritis ratio of 1.82 was observed in preeclampsia. Conclusion: TSH, LDH and Uric acid showed significant elevation in preeclampsia. TSH and LDH levels showed a positive correlation. Hence, TSH, LDH and Uric acid could serve as markers of preeclampsia. A hypothyroid status in early pregnancy might be seen as a risk factor for preeclampsia. An elevated ALT and a high De Ritis might indicate an underlying liver and cardiac compromise in preeclampsia.

In order to obtain the optimal extraction conditions of anthocyanin in purple eggplant peel, purple eggplant peel was used as experimental material, the single factor test conditions were screened through determinating the content of anthocyanin in the crude extraction solution. The optimum range of the concentration of ethanol, the ratio of liquid and material ratio, the time of extraction, and the temperature of extraction were determined. Then the quadratic regression orthogonal rotation combination design was used to optimize the extraction process of anthocyanin. Four factors and regression model of content of anthocyanin were obtained. The results showed that the factors affecting the extraction efficiency of anthocyanins were as follows: the concentration of ethanol > the temperature of extraction > the ratio of liquid and material ratio > the time of extraction. Finally, the optimum extraction conditions of anthocyanin extracted from purple eggplant peel were obtained as follows: the concentration of ethanol was 78.6%, the ratio of liquid and material ratio was 60:1 (mL g-1), the temperature of extraction was 20 ℃, the time of extraction was 150 min, and the content of anthocyanin was up to 4.2399 (mg g-1). The crude extracting solution of anthocyanin was clear and stable, and the color of stable extracting solution was dark red. The validation experiment was carried out at the optimized conditions, and the preferable results were obtained, which showed that the optimization of extraction technology of anthocyanin in purple eggplant peel by this method was reliable, and which had practical guiding significance.
