  JUNIPER PUBLISHERS - GLOBAL JOURNAL OF PHARMACY & PHARMACEUTICAL SCIENCES Authored by Pugazhendy K Abstract This study was undertaken to find out the  Catla catla  fresh water fish biochemical changes in the fish muscles, liver and kidney. Toxicity were calculated probit analysis, The total carbohydrate contented was estimated by the technique of Roe , Protein was estimated by Lowry method and total lipids were estimated by the method of floch methods. The results shown on total carbohydrate level in muscle 6.43mg/g after treatment 2.70mg/g, liver carbohydrate control 17.55mg/g after treatment 16.10mg/g changes accrued 7.41% and kidney carbohydrate control 1.44mg/g after treatment 0.53mg/g was gradually decreased. Then total protein in muscles 23.20mg/g after sub lethal concentration at 96hours treated 17.80mg/g decreased and liver protein 23.12mg/g treated fish 19.40mg/g changes accrued 13.58% kidney protein level 9.60mg/g after treatment in sub lethal concentration in 96hours 6

JUNIPER PUBLISHERS - GLOBAL JOURNAL OF PHARMACY & PHARMACEUTICAL SCIENCES Authored by Cotta KI Abstract Electronic cigarette (e-cigarette) are being used as a safe alternative to tobacco smoking, or as a smoking cessation device. However, the FDA presumes that e-cigarettes are as hazardous as conventional cigarettes. The Tobacco Control Task Force of the American Association of Public Health Physicians instead has indicated that e-cigarettes closely resemble Nicotine Replacement Therapy products. Since Propylene glycol (PG) constitutes around 89-90% of the e-cigarettes formulation, the objective here is to review the safety of inhalation of PG. All animal and human studies that analyzed the effect of the inhalation of PG have indicated that, PG does not appear to pose a significant hazard via the inhalation route. In fact, in several of these animal studies the concentrations of PG used were higher compared to the concentration used in e-cigarettes and did not give rise to any toxi
