Percutaneous surgical treatment of tibial plateau fractures with arthroscopy (about 15 cases)
Percutaneous treatment of tibial plateau fractures under arthroscopic control, although minimal, is a cause of a decrease in morbidity compared toopen surgery. The objective of this work is to report the functional results, inshort and medium term, of these percutaneous osteosynthesis under arthroscopiccontrol. Fifteen patients were treatedby percutaneous screwing with arthroscopic control for fractures classified Shatzker I to III. The average age was 32 years; the average follow up was 39, 9 months (24 -119 months). We have not noticed postoperative infection, the results were considered good, the score IKS (International Knee Society) average was 83.2 for the knee score and 89 for the function score. One patient presented a secondary bone depression at 35 days post-surgery. Percutaneous treatment of fractures separation or separation anddepression of the lateral plateau conducted under arthroscopy provides satisfaction in terms of postoperative indolence, early recovery and rehabilitation, and seems to have satisfactory results in the short and medium term. We cannot assess the impact on the evolutionosteoarthritis due to lack of sufficient experience.

Potato leaf Roll virus (PLRV) on Solanum Tuberosum L. in Eastern Zone of Nepal and Adjoining Area of India
Potato is cultivated in plain and hilly area of eastern zone of Nepal and adjoining area of India. It is an important ingredient of vegetables- boiled, fried and spicy used in daily diet. Potato is grown a little in eastern zone against the demand and mostly imported from India. Potato requires a wide range of soil- sandy loams, slit loams, loams and peat. The tuber is rich in starch. The varieties of potato such as Kufri Red, Kufri Sinduri have been developed in Central Potato Research Institute, Simla. The survey of potato cultivation was completed on Date 15/03/2022 at Devanganj, Sunsari district of Province no 1. Some branches of potato were suffering from leaf roll disease by the pathogen Potato leaf roll virus (PLRV). Polero Virus transmitted by green peach aphid Myzus persicae. Severity of the disease was 4-8%. Identification of the potato leaf roll virus was according to Mehrotra (1980)21, Gibbs (1969)9, Gibbs & Harison (1976)12, Gibbs, et al. (1966)10, Nagaich, et al.

Preparation & evaluation of eprosartan mesylate solid dispersions
The aim of the present study was to improve the solubility and bioavailability of a poorly water-soluble drug in human body, using a solid dispersion technique. Solubility and dissolution rate is an important physicochemical factor affecting absorption of drug and its therapeutic effectiveness. Consequences of poor aqueous solubility would lead to failure in formulation development. The poor solubility of drug substances in water and their low dissolution rate in aqueous G.I.T fluid often leads to insufficient bioavailability. In the present investigation, an attempt was made to improve the solubility and dissolution rate of a poorly soluble drug, Eprosartan by solid dispersion method using skimmed milk powder as carrier. Four different formulations were prepared with varying drug:carrier ratios viz.1:1, 1:3, 1:5 and 1:9 and the corresponding physical mixtures were also prepared. The formulations were characterized for solubility parameters, drug release studies and drug-polymer interactions by using phase solubility studies, dissolution studies; XRD analysis, FTIR spectrum, TLC analysis and UV overlay spectra. All the formulations showed marked improvement in the solubility behaviour and improved drug release. Formulation containing drug: polymer ratio of 1:9 showed the best release with a cumulative release of 82.67 % as compared to 6.919 % for the pure drug. The interaction studies showed no interaction between the drug and the carrier. It was concluded that skimmed milk powder as a carrier can be very well utilized to improve the solubility of poorly soluble drugs.

Prompt criticality studies and prompt neutrons energy spectrum flux profile of Ghana’s miniature neutron source reactor core
If a nuclear reactor happened to be prompt critical - even very slightly - the number of neutrons would increase exponentially at a high rate, and very quickly the reactor would become uncontrollable by means of cybernetics. The prompt neutron flux spectrum of the compact core of the Ghana’s miniature neutron source reactor (MNSR) was understudy using the Monte Carlo method. 20484 energy groups combined for all three categories of the energy distribution, thermal, slowing down and fast regions were modeled to create small energy bins. The moderator, the inner irradiation channels, the annulus beryllium reflector and the outer irradiation channels were the region monitored. The prompt thermal neutrons recorded it highest flux in the inner irradiation channel with a peak flux of (1.2091 ± 0.0008) × 1012 n/cm2•s, followed by the outer irradiation channel with a peak flux of (7.9393 0.0056) × 1011 n/cm2•s. The beryllium reflector recorded the lowest flux in the thermal region with a peak flux of (2.3328 0.0004) × 1011 n/cm2•s. The peak values of the thermal energy range occurred in the energy range 1.8939× 10-08 MeV – 3.7880× 10-08 MeV. The inner irradiation channel again recorded the highest flux of (1.8361 0.0301) × 1009 n/cm2•s at the lower energy end of the slowing down region between 8.2491× 10-01 MeV – 8.2680 × 10-01 MeV, but was over taken by the moderator as the neutron energies increase to 2.0465 MeV. The outer irradiation channel recorded the lowest flux in this region. In the fast region, the core, where the moderator is found, the moderator recorded the highest flux as expected at a peak flux of (2.9143 0.0195) × 1008 n/cm2•s at 6.961MeV. The inner irradiation channel recorded the second highest flux while the outer channel and annulus beryllium recorded very low flux in this region. The final k-effective contribution from only prompt neutrons is 0.9956, hence the Ghana MNSR not prompt critical
