EDITORIAL

Progress is impossible without change, and those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything. George Bernard Shaw

“We Keep moving forward, opening new doors and doing new things because we are curious and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths” Hello everyone, we the member of editorial board welcome you to the third issue of Pharmavoice with a new year 2018, new hopes, new commitments and the willingness to move further to achieve something better. “Strive hard, believe on yourself and have some faith”; these three things are responsible for GPAT success and our 11 students achieved this success by passing all the hurdles came in their path. We are born to keep and maintain our nation’s safety, security and development and this motto of NSS has been fulfilled from our student’s NSS camp at Hivre and other regular activities. Because of their social work they kept an example in front of other students to make our earth as green as possible by planting the trees. “Happiness lies in the joy of achievements

and the thrill of creative efforts”; very well said by

frankelin. The way students did the hard work they

find the way to enjoy their life. And they very

enthusiastically celebrated the Spandan; an annual

event of our college which rewarded our student for

their great efforts in student life. As the sun comes

it has to go away for the next fresh day; in the same

manner our students have to go to start their career

with fresh knowledge. Our final year student had

their farewell party and gave their juniors a set of

example. The message conveyed to them was “No

matter how long you are going and how much you

are achieving you have to keep yourself down to the

earth and it is the key to the success”. So all the

passing students we wish you all the very best in

your life.

DID YOU KNOW: Bananas For Cancer

Bananas are not just tasty; they’re also highly

nutritious. But the big question is, “are you eating

them at the right time?” Eating bananas when they

are fully ripe or with black spots can provide your

body with a whole lot of nutrients. In fact, a fully

ripe banana contains high anti-cancer properties,

that’s amazing!

Its important to note that fully ripe fruits are chock

full of minerals, vitamins, and essential cancer-

fighting phytonutrients. Moreover, such fruits also

contain a high concentration of necessary enzymes

that aid digestion. According to a group of Japanese

researchers, the black spots on fully ripe bananas

indicate that they contain high levels of a substance

known as Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF), which kills

cancerous tumors.

The big secret is for you to allow your bananas to

ripen fully – maybe you should leave them on the

counter for longer. Doing this will give a significant

boost to their antioxidant levels, and when you eat

them, you’ll get to have a stronger immune system

and higher white blood cell count. It’s also good to

point out that yellow bananas with black spots are

eight times more effective at boosting the cancer-

fighting properties of white blood cells than their

green counterparts. There’s no doubt that yellow-

skinned bananas are the truth!

Effect of Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF-alpha) on Cancerous Cells-

Tumor necrosis factor is cytokine which is capable of inducing the death of tumor cells that could lead to

severe inflammation.

Its primary role is to regulate immune cells and direct them towards inflammation sites in the body.

TNF inhibits the growth and spread of tumor cells. It also triggers necrosis or cell death.

Bananas contain modest amounts of several compounds with know anti-cancer activities, including alpha

-carotene, beta-carotene, melatonin and dopamine.

Components of bananas have been shown to inhibit proliferation of leukemia and liver cancer cells in the

laboratory.
