Subha Shankar Das,Parul Thakral,Divya Manda,Virupakshappa CB,Dharmender Malik,Ishita Sen 대한핵의학회 2021 핵의학 분자영상 Vol.55 No.5

Laparoscopic resection of tumor is often performed for benign and small insulinomas, or for those located in the body or tail of the pancreas. The precise preoperative and intraoperative localization of the insulinoma is critical to minimize the surgical intervention. Conventional imaging studies, i.e., MRI, CT, and endoscopic ultrasound have limited sensitivity due to the small size of the insulinomas. Angiography, intraarterial calcium stimulation, and venous sampling are invasive procedures with concomitant risk for complications. Exendin-4 PET/CT scan has shown to be of great value in preoperative localization of insulinomas. In the absence of the traditional gold standard, i.e., intraoperative ultrasound with manual palpation, in laparoscopic surgery, a simple enucleation procedure might not be possible. Gamma probe-assisted surgery is a new method of diagnosis and treatment which allows a small area of tissue to be identified and removed, while a large area of the organ or the system remains unaffected. We present a case of a 34-year-old man with clinical suspicion of insulinoma with negative conventional imaging and successful lesion localization with 68Ga-Exendin-4 PET/CT scan in the pancreatic body, who underwent laparoscopic enucleation of the lesion with the aid of a hand-held gamma detecting probe.

On the value distribution of differential polynomials

Subhas S. Bhoosnurmath,Milind Narayanrao Kulkarni,Kit-Wing Yu 대한수학회 2008 대한수학회보 Vol.45 No.3

In this paper we consider the problem of whether certain homogeneous or non-homogeneous differential polynomials in f(z) necessarily have infinitely many zeros. Particularly, this extends a result of Gopalakrishna and Bhoosnurmath [3, Theorem 2] for a general differential polynomial of degree d (P) and lower degree d (P).

Subha Rastogi,Madan Mohan Pandey,Kaushal Kumar,Ajay Kumar Singh Rawat,Palpu Pushpangadan 한국생약학회 2005 Natural Product Sciences Vol.11 No.2

Pygmaeopremna herbacea (Roxb.) Mold. (Verbenaceae) is a small herb or sometimes an undershrub arising from a perennial rootstock. The dry roots are dark muddy brown in colour having root nodules. Itsextensively developed roots are widely used in tribal medicine. They are used as an aphrodisiac and for thetreatment of gout, rheumatism and ulcers. This study deals with the detailed pharmacognostical evaluation of thedried roots and root nodules of P. herbacea which includes macro and microscopic studies, determination ofphysicochemical parameters and chemoprofiling of the extract using HPTLC fingerprint profiles. It was observedthat the roots consist of a well developed cortical region consisting of tangentially elongated thin walledparenchymatous. The HPTLC fingerprint profile of the methanolic extract showed the presence of seven majorbands. Such an analysis may thus be utilized in identifying P. herbacea and in differenciating it from other specieswhich are similar to it or are used as its adultrants/substitutes under the same vernacular name of Bharangi.

Constituents of Mallotus nepalensis Muell. Arg.: a Mild CNS Depressant

Subha Rastogi,Bishen Narain Mehrotra,Dinesh K. Kulshreshtha 한국생약학회 2004 Natural Product Sciences Vol.10 No.5

Mallotus nepalensis (Euphorbiaceae) is a small tree found in central and eastern Himalayas, Nepal,Wallich and Sikkim. The 90% ethanolic extract of Mallotus nepalensis exhibited mild CNS depressant activity. Four compounds, lupeol (1), β-sitosterol (2), ursolic acid (3) and β-sitosterol- β-D-glucoside (4) were isolated from the 90% ethanolic extract of this plant of which 1, 3 and 4 are being reported for the first time from this specie.

WEIGHTED SHARING AND UNIQUENESS OF ENTIRE OR MEROMORPHIC FUNCTIONS

SUBHAS S.BHOOSNURMATH,Veena L. Pujari 대한수학회 2015 대한수학회보 Vol.52 No.1

In this paper, we study the uniqueness problems of entire or meromorphic functions concerning differential polynomials that share one value with multiplicity using weighted sharing method. We prove two main theorems which generalize and improve the results of Fang and Fang [2], Dyavanal [1] and others and also solve the open problem posed by Dyavanal. This method yields some new results.

Repair of an oroantral communication by a human amniotic membrane: a novel technique

Subha Lakshmi,Siva Bharani,Kalhan Ambardar 대한구강악안면외과학회 2015 대한구강악안면외과학회지 Vol.41 No.4

The amniotic membrane is the innermost layer of fetal membrane and is attached to the chorion in the placenta. This membrane has been used for nearly a century in varied fields such as ophthalmology, reconstructive surgery, and burn treatment. In this case report, we used a human amniotic membrane to repair an iatrogenic oroantral communication that occurred during the extraction of the patient’s right upper second molar. A splint was given after the perforation was covered with human amniotic membrane and healing was clinically evaluated at various intervals. The outcome of the study revealed that the human amniotic membrane was an efficient graft material for repairing the defect caused by an iatrogenic oroantral communica- tion following tooth extraction.

Morphological variables restrict flower choice of Lycaenid butterfly species: implication for pollination and conservation

Mukherjee Subha Shankar,Hossain Asif 한국생태학회 2021 Journal of Ecology and Environment Vol.45 No.4

Background: Butterflies make an important part for plant-pollinator guild. These are nectar feeder or occasionally pollen feeder and thus proboscis of the butterfly species are considered as one of the most important variable in relation to the collection of food from plants. In butterfly-plant association, nectar source is principally determined by quality of nectar, corolla length, and nectar quantity. For the butterfly, nectar uptake is determined by proboscis length because flowers with long corolla restrict butterfly species containing shorter proboscis. Empirical studies proved that butterfly species with high wing loading visit clustered flowers and species with low wing loading confined their visit to solitary or less nectar rich flowers. The present study tries to investigate the flower preference of butterfly species from Lycaenidae family having very short proboscis, lower body length, lower body weight and wing span than the most species belonging from Nymphalidae, Pieridae, Papilionidae, and Hesperiidae. Results: Butterflies with shorter proboscis cannot access nectar from deeper flower. Although they mainly visit on less deeper flower to sucking nectar, butterflies with high wing loading visits clustered flowers to fulfill their energy requirements. In this study, we demonstrated flower choice of seven butterfly species belonging to Lycanidiae family. The proboscis length maintains a positive relationship with body length and body weight. Body length maintains a positive relationship with body weight and wing span. Wing span indicate a strong positive relationship with body weight. This study proved that these seven butterfly species namely Castalius rosimon (CRN), Taracus nara (TNA), Zizinia otis (ZOT), Zizula hylax (ZHY), Jamides celeno (JCE), Chilades laius (CLA), and Psuedozizeeria maha (PMA) visit frequently in Tridax procumbens (TPR), Ocimum americanum (OAM) and Syndrella nodiflora (SNO). The species do not visit Lantana camara (LCA) and Catharanthus roseus (CRO) plants. Conclusion: The present study proved that butterfly species visits frequently in Tridax procumbens (TPR), Ocimum americanum (OAM) but less frequently in Syndrella nodiflora (SNO). So, that study determined the butterfly species helps in pollination of these herbs that in turn helps the conservation of these butterfly species.

ON THE VALUE DISTRIBUTION OF DIFFERENTIAL POLYNOMIALS

Bhoosnurmath, Subhas S.,Kulkarni, Milind Narayanrao,Yu, Kit-Wing Korean Mathematical Society 2008 대한수학회보 Vol.45 No.3

In this paper we consider the problem of whether certain homogeneous or non-homogeneous differential polynomials in f(z) necessarily have infinitely many zeros. Particularly, this extends a result of Gopalakrishna and Bhoosnurmath [3, Theorem 2] for a general differential polynomial of degree $\bar{d}$(P) and lower degree $\underline{d}$(P).
