    Abstract:
    The Pharmaceutical industry represents one of the India’s strength.  The regulation of pharmaceuticals in India is generally seen to be in need of reform, and has been the subject of many official commissions since 1995. Most commentators agree that the state should intervene to prevent untrammeled market forces leading to citizens’ suffering, because adequate information about the costs and benefits of different pharmaceuticals is inaccessible to most users. But in India, a wide range of stakeholders must be considered before changes can be made to the regulatory framework.

Foods are materials taken into the body by different route which provide nourishment in the form of energy or in the building of tissues. Food contaminants are substances that make food unfit for human consumption. Examples include bacteria, toxic chemicals, carcinogens, teratogens and radioactive materials. The purpose of these studies is to find out the food contaminants which are used in different purposes available in Bangladesh and contaminants detection method. After survey we found that Dhaka is the main city where food contamination by various contaminants in higher percentage.

Internal customer satisfaction is a prerequisite to achieve external customer satisfaction.

    If Employees are to identify and correct quality problems, then they have to use some quality tools. Quality circles are also known as work improvement or quality teams. the quality circle is a small group of employees who voluntarily meet at regular times to identify, analyse and solve quality and other problems in their working environment.

    Abstract:
    In an attempt to develop new therapeutics, Vitamin B12 & Folic acid was used to screen the effect on arsenic-induced hepatic toxicity in female rat of Wistar strain. Sub chronic exposure to sodium arsenite (0.4 ppm/100 g body weight/day via drinking water for a period of 28 days) significantly increased activities of hepatic. A notable distortion of hepatocellular histoarchitecture was prominent with a concomitant increase in DNA fragmentation following arsenic exposure. A marked elevation of in hepatic tissue was also evident from the hepatic accumulation of antioxidant enzymes such as superoxide dismutase, Catalase, Xanthine Oxidase, DNA Fragmentation & Histological views. However, co-administration of Vitamin B12 & folic acid (200 µl/100 g body weight/day for a period of 28 days) was found to significantly prevent the arsenic-induced alteration of hepatic function. Moreover, the degeneration of histoarchitecture of liver found in arsenic-treated rats was protected along with partial but definite prevention against DNA fragmentation induction. Similarly, generation of reactive oxygen species and free radicals were found to be significantly less along with restored activities of antioxidant like Vitamin B12 & Folic acid co-administered group with comparison to arsenic alone treatment group. The present investigation offers strong evidence for the hepato-protective and antioxidative efficiencies of Vitamin B12 & Folic acid against oxidative stress induced by arsenic.
