A simple, accurate, precise and rapid reversed phase high performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) method had
been developed and subsequently validated for the simultaneous estimation of metformin HCl and sitagliptin
phosphate in bulk & tablet dosage form. The proposed method was based on the separation of the two drugs in
reversed phase mode using C18 (4.6 × 250mm, [5µ particle size]) analytical column. The optimised mobile phase
consisted of phosphate buffer (pH adjusted to 3.11 using o-phosphoric acid): Acetonitrile in the ratio of 850:150. Flow
rate was kept at 1ml/min. The simultaneous estimation was carried out at detection wavelength of 206nm using
variable wavelength detector. Both drugs metformin HCl and sitagliptin phosphate were resolved and retained at
10mins. This method was statistically validated as per ICH guideline for analytical method validation.

Herbal formulations have growing demand in the world market and the plants have been reported in the literature
having good anti-microbial, anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory activity. In this study cream was formulated based on
the anti-oxidant potential of herbal extracts and its evaluation. The cream was formulated with Licorice oil, Cinnamon
oil, of different concentrations namely F1, F2, F3. The cream was stable during stability studies according to ICH
guidelines 30±2 0C/50±5% RH and 40±2 0C/75±5% RH for two months. The evaluations of all formulations were
done on different parameters like pH, spreadability, stability etc. Formulations F2 and F3 showed good spreadability,
good consistency, and homogeneity with good appearance, pH, and no evidence of phase separation and ease of
removal. The formulation F2 and F3 shows no redness, edema, inflammation and irritation to the skin during irritancy
studies. These studies suggest that the composition of extracts and base of cream of F3 is more stable and safe, it may
produce synergistic action. It can be concluded that herbal cream without side effects having anti-oxidant property can
be used as provision of a barrier to protect the skin and avoid aging of the skin.

are 67.85 %.CVDs contribute to a major portion of death caused by NCDs. An estimated 17.5 million people died
from CVDs in 2012, representing 31% of all global deaths. Of these deaths, an estimated 7.4 million were due to
coronary heart disease and 6.7 million were due to stroke. According to Million death study CVD are the major cause
of death in INDIA (1.8-2.0 million per year). There are various risk factors associated with CVDs; they can be
classified in to local and systemic factors. Systemic factors are further divided in to modifiable and non modifiable
factors. Modifiable factors consist of physical inactivity, smoking and many others whereas non modifiable factors
consist of gender, age and genetic predisposition. The main objective of this research survey was to establish role of
stress in development of CVDs and to make people about stress and its relationship with CVDs and other diseases.
There are many factors which are associated with development of cardiovascular disease and stress is one of them,
stress is both harmful and useful for the body as small amount of stress is also necessary to maintain consciousness of
an individual. If stress level is increased and if remains for a long duration it may cause affect to various body organs
