Wounds are major cause of physical disabilities. Wound healing consists of orderly progression of series of events that establish the integrity of the damaged tissues. Indian Aloe (Aloe Vera) leaves pulp is used for medicinal purposes, including treatment of constipation, colitis, asthma, irritable bowel syndrome, diabetes, peptic ulcer, inflammation, heart burn, stress etc. The present study was undertaken on experimental evaluation of Indian Aloe (Aloe Vera) leaves pulp on wound healing activity through topical route on excision wound model. The activity was compared with standard drug Povidone Iodine ointment (5% w/w). Indian Aloe (Aloe Vera) leaves pulp was found to have better and faster wound healing effect than standard drug Povidone Iodine ointment on excision wound model.

A healthy periodontium is needed for the general well being of an individual. However, periodontal diseases are common and periodontal infections are increasingly associated with systemic diseases. The literature is focused on the association between periodontal infections and systemic diseases. The individuals with periodontal disease may be at higher risk for adverse medical outcomes including cardiovascular diseases, respiratory infections, adverse pregnancy outcomes, rheumatoid arthritis and diabetes mellitus. Many cohorts, in vitro and animal studies suggest that systemic inflammation due to pathogens associated with periodontal disease may play a role in the initiation and progression of some systemic diseases. Periodontal infections should therefore be considered as a risk factor for various systemic diseases.

Alginate dressings are highly absorbent, biodegradable material derived from the seaweed. They are used to cleanse wide variety of secreting lesions. They show high absorptivity which is achieved via strong hydrophilic gel formation, this limits the wound secretions, promotes wound healing and also minimizes the bacterial contamination. Alginate dressings are very useful for moderate to heavily exudating wounds. This article throws light on the alginate dressing and its importance medical science. Patents are the richest source of the latest technological information. A review of some patents on alginate dressing is provided that summarizes the recent technical advancements taken place in this area.

The present work is in the technical field of plant extraction. More particularly, the work relates to the extraction of medicinal plants using liquid nitrogen in a closed environment. The principal objective of this work is to provide a new method of plant extraction using liquid nitrogen which is simple, safe and less time consuming as compared to the existing open method of plant extraction using liquid nitrogen. The plant used for the study was Cynodon dactylon (Linn.) Pers. The new method includes the steps of size reduction of the plant material, taking the plant material and solvent in culture tubes, closing the tubes properly and dipping these tubes into liquid nitrogen at below -196
