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 year’s 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.

Dr. A. Sengupta

CHIEF EDITOR DR. ABHIJIT SENGUPTA EDITOR MS. JEENATARA BEGUM ASSOCIATE EDITOR MR. DIPANJAN MANDAL

HISTORICAL ARTICLECarl Bosch

(1874 – 1940) Carl Bosch was a prominent German industrial chemist and entrepreneur. Notable for the development of the Haber-Bosch process for high-pressure synthesis of ammonia, he was one of the founders of IG Farben, which became one of the world’s largest chemical companies. Bosch won the 1931 Nobel Prize for Chemistry for formulating chemical high-pressure methods.

Early Life and Education:

Born in Cologne, Germany to a rich gas supplier, Carl Bosch’s uncle was the legendary industrialist Robert Bosch who helped develop the first spark plug. He attended the Technical College of Charlottenburg and the University of Leipzig for six years, from 1892 to 1898. Bosch later accepted an entry level job at BASF, a leading German chemical company.

Contributions and Achievements:

Carl Bosch started working to adapt the laboratory process for synthesizing ammonia for commercial production in 1909. He formulated the process that bore his name, in which hydrogen is manufactured on an industrial scale by passing steam and water over a catalyst at high temperatures. The Haber-Bosch process turned out to be the most commonly used big-scale process for nitrogen fixation. Bosch was appointed the president of I.G. Farbenindustrie AG.

Bosch shared the 1931 Nobel Prize for chemistry with Friedrich Bergius for his work on the invention and development of chemical high-pressure methods. He became a successor to Max Planck in 1935 as director of the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute.

Later Life and Death:

Carl Bosch died after a prolonged illness on April 26, 1940 in Heidelberg, Germany. He was 65 years old.

NEWS UPDATE Before retinal cells die, they regenerate,

blindness study finds: (18th March, 2016) In a new study, researchers have shown that retinal cells in three distinct forms of canine early-onset blindness possess an unexpected feature: they temporarily rejuvenate. Further investigation into the reasons for this period of retinal neuron proliferation could lead to molecular targets for intervening in cell death and maintaining functional photoreceptor cells and a working retina.

Precision medicine's potential to define the genetics of autoimmune disease: (18th March, 2016) Demonstrating the potential of precision medicine, an international study used next-generation DNA sequencing technology to identify more than 1,000 gene variants that affect susceptibility to systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).

Higher volume radiation facilities associated with better survival rates: (16th March, 2016) Investigators studied men with aggressive prostate cancer who were treated with radiation as well as the case volume of the facility at which they were treated. They found that receiving radiation at a facility that treats a high volume of prostate cancer

patients with radiation was associated with improved overall survival.

Time to eat: Scientists find that our cells' power plants run on timers: (16th March, 2016) Our cells' power plants run on timers, scientists have discovered. This may help explain why people who sleep and eat out of phase with their circadian clocks are at higher risk of developing obesity, diabetes and metabolic syndrome.

Biologists apply optogenetics to cancer for the first time: (16th March, 2016) It is possible to prevent tumors and normalize them after they have formed by using light to control cells' electrical signals. This is the first use of optogenetics to manipulate bioelectrical signals to prevent and regress tumors induced by oncogenes, say researchers, adding that it could spark new biomedical approaches to cancer.

Refugees have a substantially higher risk of psychotic disorders: (15th March, 2016) Refugees face a substantially higher risk of psychotic disorders, including schizophrenia, compared to non-refugee migrants from the same regions of origin, finds a new study.

Bacterial resistance may persist for up to six months after treatment: (15th March, 2016) Antibiotic resistance in children with urinary infections is high and could render some antibiotics ineffective as first-line treatments, warns a new study.

Substantial proportion of US measles cases intentionally unvaccinated: (15th March, 2016) Unvaccinated or undervaccinated individuals comprised substantial proportions of cases in measles and some pertussis

outbreaks, an analysis of numerous studies and reports finds. Additionally, vaccine refusal was associated with an elevated risk for measles and pertussis, including among fully vaccinated individuals, researchers report.

New view of age-related macular degeneration: Fuel-starved light receptors: (14th March, 2016) New research could potentially change how doctors approach two blinding diseases: 'Wet' age-related macular degeneration, the leading cause of blindness in the elderly, and macular telangiectasia.

KNOWLEDGE BASED ARTICLE HER4 expression may be linked to chemotherapy

resistance, lower survival rate Moffitt Cancer Center researchers discovered that patients with ovarian serous cancer and an overexpression of the HER4 protein are less likely to respond to chemotherapy and have a lower rate of survival. That's according to a study Carolina Strosberg, M.D., is presenting at the 2016 United States and Canadian Academy of Pathology (USCAP) Annual Conference in Seattle, Washington.

Ovarian cancer accounts for about 3 percent of cancers among women, but it causes more deaths than any other cancer of the female reproductive system, according to the American Cancer Society.

The human epidermal growth factor receptor (HER) is heavily involved in the beginning formation of cancer. While the prognostic impact of HER1 and HER2 has been characterized in numerous cancers, there is little data on the role and impact of HER4 in ovarian cancer.

18-03-2016

Moffitt pathologists looked at the levels of HER4 expression in 100 ovarian serous carcinoma specimens. They found that the samples that contained the HER4 expression were linked to chemotherapy resistance and a shortened life span. This means HER4 may be a prognostic and potentially a predictive marker in ovarian serous cancer, but more studies are needed. In addition HER4 could potentially become a target for therapy.
