MESSAGE FROM PRINCIPAL

"It can happen. It does happen.

But it can't happen if you quit." Lauren Dane.

We are what we repeatedly do.

Excellence then is not an act, but a habit. Aristotle

It gives me immense pleasure to pen a few words for our e-bulletin. At the onset I would like to thank the
last years editors and congratulate the newly selected editors for the current year.

Our first consideration is always in the best interest of the students. Our goal is to promote academic
excellence and continuous improvement.

I believe that excellence in education is aided by creating a learning environment in which all learners are
supported in maximizing their potential and talents. Education needs to focus on personalized learning
and instruction, while promoting an education system that is impartial, universally accessible, and meeting
the needs of all students.

It is of paramount importance that our learners have sufficient motivation and encouragement in order to
achieve their aims. We are all very proud of you, our students, and your accomplishments and look
forward to watching as you put your mark on the profession in the years ahead.

The call of the time is to progress, not merely to move ahead. Our progressive Management is looking
forward and wants our Institute to flourish as a Post Graduate Institute of Excellence. Steps are taken in
this direction and fruits of these efforts will be received by our students in the near future. Our Teachers
are committed and dedicated for the development of the institution by imparting their knowledge and play
the role of facilitator as well as role model to our students.

The Pharmacy profession is thriving with a multitude of possibilities, opportunities and positive
challenges. At Guru Nanak Institute of Pharmaceutical Science and Technology, our focus is on holistic
needs of our students.

I am confident that the students of GNIPST will recognize all the possibilities, take full advantage of the
opportunities and meet the challenges with purpose and determination.

Excellence in Education is not a final destination, it is a continuous walk. I welcome you to join us on
this path.

My best wishes to all.

HISTORICAL ARTICLE
Henry Cavendish
A natural philosopher, the greatest experimental and theoretical
English chemist and physicist of his age, Henry Cavendish (10 Oct.
1731 24 Feb. 1810) was distinguished for great accuracy and
precision in researches into the composition of atmospheric air,
the properties of different gases, the synthesis of water, the law
governing electrical attraction and repulsion, and calculations of
the density (and hence the weight) of the Earth.
Early Life:
Cavendish attended Cambridge University from 1749 to 1753, but
left without a degree. He engrossed himself in scientific studies
but did not bother to publish a number of his important
discoveries as Cavendish was sociable only with his scientific
friends. Even the only existing portrait of him was sketched
secretly. He approached most of his investigations through
quantitative measurements.
Contributions and Achievements:
He was the first to recognize hydrogen gas as a distinct substance
for which he calculated their densities as well as the densities of
several other gases. He showed that it produced dew, which
appeared to be water, upon being burned. He also found it to be
much less dense than air. Cavendish also investigated the products
3
 3-11-2017

of fermentation, showing that the gas from the fermentation of

sugar is indistinguishable from the fixed air characterized as a
constituent of chalk and magnesia by Black ( in modern language,
carbon dioxide). In his study of the methods of gas analysis
Cavendish made one amazing observation.

He was glinting air with excess oxygen (to form oxides of

nitrogen) over alkali until no more absorption took place and
noted that a tiny amount of gas could not be further reduced, so
that if there is any part of the phlogisticated air of our atmosphere
which differs from the rest, and cannot be reduced to nitrous acid,
we may safely conclude that it is not more than 1/120 part of the
whole. As is now known, he had observed the noble gases of the
atmosphere.

In addition to his achievements in chemistry, Cavendish is also

known for the Cavendish experiment, the first to measure the
force of gravity between masses in a laboratory and to produce an
accurate value for Earths density. The apparatus he was working
with was devised by the Rev. John Michell, though he had the
most important parts reconstructed to his own designs, it
depended on measuring the attraction exercised on a horizontal
bar, suspended by a vertical wire and bearing a small lead ball at
each end, by two large masses of lead. His work and constant
observation led others to accurate values for the gravitational
constant (G) and Earths mass.

Based on his results, one can calculate a value for G of 6.754

10?11N-m2/kg2, which compares favourably with the modern value
of 6.67428 10?11N-m2/kg2.

4
 3-11-2017

Cavendish compared the electrical conductivities of equivalent

solutions of electrolytes and expressed a version of Ohms law. He
was not the first to profound an inverse-square law of electrostatic
attraction, but Cavendishs exhibition, based in part on
mathematical reasoning, was the most effective. He founded the
study of the properties of dielectrics and also distinguished clearly
between quantity of electricity and what is now called potential.

Cavendishs work and reputation have to be considered in two

parts, the one relating to his published work, the other to the large
amount he did not publish. During his lifetime he made notable
discoveries in chemistry and physics mainly for which he is known
the best and recognized.

How chromosomes 'cheat' for the chance to

get into an egg:( 2nd November, 2017)
Chromosomes can 'cheat,' biasing the chance that they will
make it into a sex cell. Biologists show how this bias arises in
female cells, detecting molecular signals that create an
asymmetry in the machinery that drives meiosis, the cell-
division process that gives rise to gametes.

Male mammoths more often fell into 'natural

2nd November, 2017)
Researchers who have sexed 98 woolly mammoth specimens
collected from various parts of Siberia have discovered that the
fossilized remains more often came from males of the species
than females. They speculate that this skewed sex ratio exists in
the fossil record because inexperienced male mammoths more
often traveled alone and got themselves killed by falling into
natural traps that made their preservation more likely.

Gut bacteria linked to age-related conditions

:( 2nd November, 2017)
New research shows for the first time that an imbalance in the

responses in young mice -- responses that are linked to age-related
conditions such as stroke, dementia and cardiovascular disease.
Therapies that target the bacterial composition of the gut in

elderly people, through changes to diet and pre- and probiotic

supplements, may lead to a healthier aging population.

KNOWLEDGE BASED ARTICLE

Exploring the Role of DNA repair pathway in

prostate cancer
Prostate cancer is one of the leading causes of mortality among
aging males. Initiation of this late onset disease may be attributed
to genomic instability resulting from accumulation of somatic
mutations due to age-related decline in DNA repair activities. In
this study the molecular biology of origin and progression of
prostate cancer was explored through DNA repair pathway with
an endeavor to identify molecules that can serve as potential
markers of prostate cancer susceptibility and progression
facilitating improved disease management.

An elaborate gene expression profiling of mismatch and base-

excision repair pathways followed by functional appraisal of

8
 3-11-2017

genetic and epigenetic factors contributing to gene expression

regulation was performed. In prostate cancer, significant
downregulation of mismatch repair genes was documented that
was inversely correlated with expression of HIF-1, DNMTs and
microRNAs, namely, miR-155, miR-21 and miR-141. HIF-1 was
identified as controller of DNMT-mediated hypermethylation of
hMLH1 as well as microRNA-mediated disruption of 3UTR
activities of hMLH1 and hMSH6 that act in consortia to promote
silencing of these genes.

The oncogenic microRNAs, identified to dysregulated DNA repair

activity, maintained a steady elevated expression in prostate
cancer patients in comparison to BPH patients at both tissue and
serum level in inverse correlation with the downregulated
mismatch repair genes.

This attribute prompted us to propose the possible inclusion of

this panel of microRNAs as molecular markers to complement the
pre-existing prognostic markers facilitating early detection of
prostate cancer.

DISEASE RELATED BREAKING NEWS

Saint Lucia reports increase of leptospirosis
:( 1st November, 2017)
Health officials in Saint Lucia, an island located in the
eastern Caribbean Sea, have noted an increase of the bacterial
infection, leptospirosis, and have advised the public.
Officials say that although increases in the number cases of
leptospirosis is not unusual after periods of heavy rains or flooding,
it remains an issue of concern to health authorities. A specific case
count has not been released.

The Ministry of Health advises all to take the following measures

to reduce the risk of becoming ill with Leptospirosis: wear
protective clothing, shoes, gloves to avoid coming into contact
with contaminated surfaces, soil, water source or food; avoid
contact with surfaces and water sources that may be contaminated
with rat urine; keep your home and surroundings free of garbage;
avoid leaving food where rats can get to it; keep food in covered
containers; cover opened wounds properly.

In addition, a Rodent Reduction Program has been established,

which will be further enhance the response to the current increase
in leptospirosis.

DRUGS UPDATES

FDA Approves Calquence (acalabrutinib) for

Adults with Mantle Cell Lymphoma (31st
October, 2017)
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration today granted accelerated
approval toCalquence (acalabrutinib) for the treatment of adults
with mantle cell lymphoma who have received at least one prior
therapy. Mantle cell lymphoma is a particularly aggressive
cancer, said Richard Pazdur, M.D., director of the FDAs Oncology
Center of Excellence and acting director of the Office of
Hematology and Oncology Products in the FDAs Center for Drug
Evaluation and Research. For patients who have not responded to
treatment or have relapsed, Calquence provides a new treatment
option that has shown high rates of response for some patients in
initial studies.

Mantle cell lymphoma is a rare and fast-growing type of non-

Hodgkin lymphoma and, according to the National Cancer
Institute at the National Institutes of Health, represents 3 to 10
percent of all non-Hodgkin lymphoma cases in the U.S. Mantle cell
lymphoma is a cancer of the lymph system, which is part of the
bodys immune system and is made up of lymph tissue, lymph
nodes, the spleen, thymus, tonsils and bone marrow. By the time
mantle cell lymphoma is diagnosed, it usually has spread to the
lymph nodes, bone marrow and other organs.
