    In: Natural Product Communications, SAGE Publications, Vol. 2, No. 9 ( 2007-09), p. 1934578X0700200-
    Abstract: Cleome viscosa (Capparidaceae) is used in fever, inflammation and liver diseases. Systematic investigation of the seeds of this species has resulted in the isolation of three coumarinolignoids, cleomiscosin A, B and C. The present study was undertaken to determine the immunomodulatory activity of these coumarinolignoids using inbred female Swiss albino mice as an in-vivo study. Experimental animals were divided into six groups, each comprised of six mice. These received oral treatment for a period of 28 days. Body weight variation, and hematological, humoral and cell mediated immune response related parameters were studied in which coumarinolignoids at a dose of 10 mg/kg body weight enhanced the body immune function by significantly increasing the white blood cell count, hemagglutination antibody titer responses, and reducing delayed type hypersensitivity response towards rabbit red blood cells.

    In: SAGE Open Medical Case Reports, SAGE Publications, Vol. 11 ( 2023-01), p. 2050313X2211498-
    Abstract: A new category of immune-related adverse effects has been identified due to increasing use of immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy to treat solid organ cancers. Pembrolizumab approved for renal cell carcinoma also has neurological immune-related adverse effects causing long-term morbidity. We here present a case of renal cell carcinoma post nephrectomy with suspected pembrolizumab (anti-PD-1)-induced encephalitis presenting as light headedness and dizziness treated with high dose of corticosteroid and intravenous immunoglobulin. Lumbar puncture was performed which showed elevated protein, nucleated cells with lymphocyte predominant, suggestive of chemical meningitis. Scans were found to be normal while electroencephalogram showed diffuse cerebral dysfunction indicating encephalopathy. The patient was under pembrolizumab treatment so encephalitis was suspected. Clinical attention is necessary when patients receiving immune checkpoint inhibitors appear with new neurological symptoms to prevent long-term morbidity or even possible mortality.

    Designing a Pro-Equity HPV Vaccine Delivery Program for Girls Who Have Dropped Out of School: Community Perspectives From Uttar Pradesh, India

    Abstract: India experiences a substantial burden of cervical cancer and accounts for nearly one third of cervical cancer deaths worldwide. While human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccines have been introduced subnationally in some states, HPV has not yet been rolled out nationally. Given the target age group, schools are the most common delivery channel for HPV vaccines, but this fails to account for local girls who never attended or no longer attend school. We conducted a qualitative, design-informed, community-based study conducted in Uttar Pradesh, India. We assessed facilitators and barriers among out-of-school girls and proposed program characteristics to inform the design of pro-equity HPV vaccine delivery programs for out-of-school girls. Programs should improve parental knowledge of the risk of cervical cancer, engage vaccinated girls as vaccine champions, utilize varied media options for low-literacy populations, and ensure that HPV vaccine services are accessible and flexible to accommodate out-of-school girls. In areas with poor or irregular school attendance among adolescent girls, HPV vaccine coverage will remain suboptimal until programs can effectively address their needs and reach this priority population. Our findings present a meaningful opportunity for program planners to purposefully design HPV vaccination programs according to these parameters, rather than modifying existing programs to include HPV vaccine. Adolescent girls, their parents, and other community members should be involved in program design to ensure that the program can effectively meet the needs of adolescent girls who are not in school.

    Abstract: The presence of private providers in the Indian healthcare sector remains one of the most debated issues. This article attempts to contribute to this debate from the angle of the ultimate goal of healthcare provision—a healthy population. We explore whether private sector presence (PSP) has improved the general health status of the people. We develop a theoretical argument to hypothesize that PSP in India would lead to better health status through the route of competition-driven quality, which in turn could lead to adverse economic consequences. We use district-level secondary data from government sources to confirm our hypotheses using robust tools of applied econometrics, correcting for serious problems of endogeneity. Constructing a district-level index of PSP, we identify distinct spatial/geographical clusters, explained by socio-economic prosperity as well as demonstration effect. We also find a robust positive association between PSP and general health outcomes, accompanied by an adverse economic consequence of rising catastrophic out-of-pocket expenditure. In terms of policy, the article concludes that rather than restricting the growth of the private sector, the government must strengthen the quality of the existing public healthcare delivery system and ensure effective monitoring and regulation.

    Multifaceted Role of Job Embeddedness Within Organizations: Development of Sustainable Approach to Reducing Turnover Intention
    SAGE Publications ; 2020
    In:  SAGE Open Vol. 10, No. 2 ( 2020-04), p. 215824402093487-

    In: SAGE Open, SAGE Publications, Vol. 10, No. 2 ( 2020-04), p. 215824402093487-
    Abstract: This study aims to explore the significance of job embeddedness (JE) theory and practices to reducing employee turnover and then suggest future research directions. It also reviews the systematic development of JE theory and its relationship with different workplace theories. A comprehensive content analysis, including a systematic review of articles published between 2008 and 2018, is conducted to understand the extensive role of JE in the workplace. A total of 108 research papers published in various high-ranking journals are selected for further analysis. To identify the mediating role of JE in the service and manufacturing industry, most of the existing studies focus on turnover intention, organizational commitment, employee engagement, and job satisfaction. However, many other key areas, which can be linked to JE to understand and evaluate the theory of organizational and employee behavior, are ignored in the literature. In this study, a further understanding of JE is suggested to be expanded in accordance with various elements of organization and employee theories, such as job design, job burnout, and role performance. This study contributes to the literature by further expanding JE theory and proposing a comprehensive JE framework that researchers and practitioners can adopt in future research.

    In: Journal of Industrial Textiles, SAGE Publications, Vol. 51, No. 5_suppl ( 2022-06), p. 7999S-8017S
    Abstract: With the recent emergence of highly transmissible variants of the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, the demand for N95 respirators is expected to remain high. The extensive use of N95 respirators by the public is susceptible to demand‐supply gaps and raises concern about their disposal, threatening the environment with a new kind of plastic pollution. Herein, we investigated the filtration performance of the N95 respirator by specifically analyzing the structure in the key filtration layers of meltblown nonwoven after decontamination with one and five cycles of liquid hydrogen peroxide, ultraviolet radiation, moist heat, and aqueous soap solution treatments. With the aid of X-ray microcomputed tomography (microCT) analysis, the local structural heterogeneity of the meltblown nonwoven has been unfolded and subsequently correlated with their filtration performance at a face velocity that matched with speaking conditions (∼3.89 m/s). The filtration efficiency results of the N95 respirator remain unaltered after performing one cycle of treatment modalities (except autoclave).

    Plasminogen Activator Inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) Gene 4G/5G Promoter Polymorphism is Seen in Higher Frequency in the Indian Patients With Deep Vein Thrombosis
    SAGE Publications ; 2010
    In:  Clinical and Applied Thrombosis/Hemostasis Vol. 16, No. 2 ( 2010-04), p. 184-188

    In: Clinical and Applied Thrombosis/Hemostasis, SAGE Publications, Vol. 16, No. 2 ( 2010-04), p. 184-188
    Abstract: Introduction: A number of prothrombotic and fibrinolytic disorders may lead to venous thrombosis. A 4G/5G polymorphism located in the promoter region of plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) gene has been found to be commonly associated with the levels of PAI-1 and might be a risk factor for deep vein thrombosis (DVT). The aim of this study was to look for the potential association of this polymorphism with DVT in the Asian Indian population. Material and methods: A total of 110 consecutive patients (M:F = 62:48) with idiopathic DVT and equal number of age- and sex-matched healthy controls were the study participants. All study participants were typed for the PAI-1 4G/ 5G polymorphism, factor V Leiden, factor V Hong Kong/Cambridge mutations, and HR2 haplotype. Result: The variant allele for the PAI-1 4G/5G polymorphism showed both genotypic (P = .0013, χ 2 = 10.303; odds ratio [OR] = 3.75) as well as allelic association (P = .0004, χ 2 = 12.273; OR = 1.99) with DVT. Factor V Leiden and factor V HR2 haplotype were observed in 10 (9.0%) and 13 (11.8%) patients, respectively. None of the study participants showed the factor V Hong Kong Cambridge mutations. Conclusion: Our study shows the association of 4G allele with DVT in Asian Indian population. The higher prevalence of 4G polymorphism in patients with DVT (compared with controls) seen in our study is in concordance with previous reports from the Caucasian population.

    Abstract: The essential oil composition of the leaves, stem, flowers and roots of Ligusticopsis wallichiana (DC.) Pimenov & Kljuykov were analyzed by GC-FID and GC-MS methods. Forty-five constituents, forming 93.2%–97.8% of the oil compositions, were dominated by acetylenic (31.5%–92.8%) compounds and sesquiterpenoids (0.3%–44.4%). The leaf essential oil was mainly composed 3,5-nonadiyne (35.8%), β-selinene (20.9%), α-funebrene (10.1%) and ( Z)-falcarinol (6.1%). The stem oil was dominated by acetylenic compounds (73.8%) represented by 3,5-nonadiyne (67.8%) and ( Z)-falcarinol (5.7%). On the contrary, the major components of the flower essential oil were sesquiterpenoids (37.5%), such as germacrene D (16.6%), α-funebrene (7.4%), and acetylenic compounds (31.5%), such as ( Z)-falcarinol (21.0%) and 3,5-nonadiyne (10.0%). Monoterpenoids constituted 23.9% of the flower oil with limonene (19.9%) as the single major constituent. The essential oil of the roots was dominated by 3,5-nonadiyne (90.5%). The results showed considerable qualitative and quantitative variations in the essential oil compositions of the different plant parts of L. wallichiana. ( Z)-Falcarinol (1.9%–21.0%) and α-funebrene (0.1%–10.1%) were reported for the first time from the essential oils of L. wallichiana.
