  • Site-Specific Analysis of Cancer Incidence and Related Sociological Parameters in a ‘Radiation Hot Spot’, Along the West Coast of Tamil Nadu, India
    International Journal of Health Sciences and Research www.ijhsr.org ISSN: 2249-9571 Original Research Article Site-Specific Analysis of Cancer Incidence and Related Sociological Parameters in a ‘Radiation Hot Spot’, along the West Coast of Tamil Nadu, India Aneesh D1, Kanagappan, M2, Godwin Wesley S3 1Research Scholar, 2Associate Professor, 3Professor Emeritus, Department of Zoology and Research Centre, Scott Christian College (Autonomous), Nagercoil - 629 003, Kanniyakumari District, Tamil Nadu Corresponding Author: Aneesh D ABSTRACT Background: Manavalakurichi, along the west coast of Tamil Nadu, India is well known for its natural radioactivity due to deposition of monazite sand and considered as high background natural radiation area (HBNRA). The incidence of cancer in relation to background radiation and parameters such as occupation, habits (tobacco chewing, smoking, drinking) and gender was preliminarily assessed. Although residing in a HBNRA has been reported to lead to an increase in the frequency of chromosomal aberrations in lymphocytes, the carcinogenic effect has not yet been established. The present study aims to evaluate the impact of background radiation in residents of HBNRA. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted considering 938 and 778 residents from HBNRA and low background natural radiation area (LBNRA), respectively using as health assessment survey questionnaire. Result: The incidence of cancer was 1.49% in HBNRA and 1.43% in LBNRA. Regression analysis of the total population of both areas revealed that radiation dose is not significantly related to incidence of cancer (R2 = 0.010, p=0.411). Pearson chi-square analysis of data showed that a higher proportion (age >18 years) has relationship between cancer and tobacco usage [HBNRA: χ2 (1, N=364) = 7.098, p = 0.009, LBNRA: χ2 (1, N=322) = 5.544, p = 0.024].

    www.ijcrt.org © 2018 IJCRT | Volume 6, Issue 1 January 2018 | ISSN: 2320-2882 EARLY IRRIGATION SYSTEMS IN KANYAKUMARI DISTRICT Dr.H.Santhosha kumarai Assistant professor Department of History and Research Centre Scott Christian college (Autonomous), Nagercoil ABSTRACT: The study has been under taken to analyse the early irrigation systems in kanyakumari district. Ay kings who ruled between 4th century BC and 9th century A.D showed interests in developing the irrigation systems. The ancient Tamils found a good system of distribution management of Water.The Rivers are the back bones of irrigation in kanyakumari district. During early period tanks were created with a clear idea to meet the needs of the people The earlier irrigation systems were well planned aiming at the welfare and benefit of the people . The irrigation system that was developed during the early period in kanyakumari district is still continuing and helping the people. Key words - irrigation system, rivers, tanks, welfare and benefit. 1. INTRODUCTION Kanyakumari district differs from the rest of Tamil Nadu with regard to its physical features and all other aspects, such as people and culture. The normal rainfall is more than forty inches a year. Kanyakuamri District presents a striking contrast to the neighbouring Tirunelveli and Kerala state in point of physical features and agricultural conditions. The North eastern part of the district is filled with hills and mountains. The Aralvaimozhi hills and the Aralvaimozhi pass are historically important( Gopalakrishnan, 1995,).The fort at the top of the hill was built by the ancient kings to defend the Ay kingdom. Marunthuvalmalai or the medicinal hill is referred in the epic of Ramayana.

  • Breast Cancer Activity of Isolated Compound from Tinospora Cordifolia Aerial
    Online - 2455-3891 Vol 14, Issue 3, 2021 Print - 0974-2441 Research Article BREAST CANCER ACTIVITY OF ISOLATED COMPOUND FROM TINOSPORA CORDIFOLIA AERIAL SREEDEVI A, MALAR RETNA A* Department of Chemistry and Research Centre, Scott Christian College (Autonomous), Nagercoil, Tamil Nadu, India. Email: [email protected] Received: 11 September 2020, Revised and Accepted: 08 January 2021 ABSTRACT Objectives: The present study undertaken to explore antioxidant and the cell line study of isolated compound from ethanol extract from Tinospora cordifolia belongs to the family Menispermaceae. Methods: The air dried powdered sample of aerial parts of T. cordifolia was extracted in a Soxhlet using five different solvents. Most active ethanol extracts were purified using silica gel column chromatography. Characterized the structure of the isolated compound using Fourier transform infrared spectrum, 1H nuclear magnetic resonance, and liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry studies. Antioxidant and anticancer activity of isolated compound was determined using 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl and 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide assay. Results: Magnoflorine was isolated from most active ethanol extract from aerial parts of T. cordifolia which shows maximum antioxidant activity 64% at the tested concentration 500 µg/ml. The percentage of cell viability varied from 53.3% at the minimum tested concentration 3.12 µg/ml to 1.9% at the maximum tested concentration 100 µg/ml. Conclusion: The isolated characterized compounds would be useful to prepare plant-based pharmaceutical preparation to treat various diseases linked with human diseases. Keywords: Column chromatography, Antioxidant, 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl, Michigan Cancer Foundation-7 cell line, Breast cancer, Tinospora cordifolia.
