Abstract
Metaplastic carcinoma breast is rare entity with incidence of 0.02% of all breast malignancies. The ranges of age at diagnosis as well as clinical symptoms do not differ from that of conventional invasive ductal breast cancer. We are reporting a rare case diagnosed as metaplastic breast carcinoma on ultrasonography and confirmed histopathologically. The case merits presentation because of its rarity, low frequency of axillary metastasis and difficulty in interpreting the morphological features which correspond with prognosis.

Abstract
Clozapine is associated with a number of side effects and careful monitoring of them is a very important aspect of management of the patients receiving the same. Common side effects of clozapine are sedation, sialorrhoea, weight gain etc. Rarely clozapine is also associated with eosinophilia. Here we present a case of schizoaffective disorder who was receiving clozapine and developed eosinophilia during the initial weeks of treatment with clozapine which came down to baseline after a few weeks of continuation of therapy. Although there are reports of eosinophilia developing in course of treatment with clozapine among patients suffering from schizophrenia but this may be the first case of eosinophilia associated with clozapine use in case of schizoaffective disorder.

Abstract
This communication is on a multi-centre collaborative study carried out by New Delhi Tuberculosis (NDTB) Centre, Delhi, to compare the different methods of drug susceptibility testing (DST) of Mycobacterium tuberculosis for Streptomycin, Rifampicin, Isoniazid and Ethambutol in various accredited laboratories 40 samples (selected by simple random sampling technique) from sputum positive out-patients presenting between December 2004 and January 2005 were collected at New Delhi Tuberculosis Centre from 24 males and 16 females (age ranging from 18 to 55 years) were taken up for culture and susceptibility testing. The proportion method of DST done at NDTB Centre was taken as standard for comparing the other methods after it was found to have a good agreement with the proportion method performed at Tuberculosis Research Centre, Chennai (Kappa coefficient 0.75 to 1). All 40 sub-cultures were processed for DST by the resistance ratio and proportion methods at NDTB Centre. Also, the 40 sub-cultures were sent to Central JALMA Institute for Leprosy (JALMA), Agra that used the resistance ratio method and 25 sub-cultures were transported to National Institute of Communicable Diseases (NICD), Delhi for performing the Bactec 460TB method. The resistance ratio and proportion methods were compared both intra-laboratory (NDTB Centre) and inter-laboratory (NDTB Centre and JALMA). The sensitivity and specificity of the resistance ratio method compared to the proportion method both inter and intra-laboratory, were very high for all the drugs (except Ethambutol inter-laboratory). This was corroborated by the good agreement between the resistance ratio performed at the two centres. Bactec 460TB method, on the other hand, did not have acceptable measures of validity (sensitivity and specificity) compared to the proportion method for Streptomycin and Ethambutol. Both resistance ratio method & proportion method are comparable and either can be used for making clinical decisions. But Bactec 460 method, despite yielding early results loses out on validity.

Abstract
DNATwist is a Web-based learning tool (available at http://www.dnatwist.org) that explains pharmacogenomics concepts to middle- and high-school students. Its features include (i) a focus on drug responses of interest to teenagers (e.g., alcohol intolerance), (ii) reusable graphical interfaces that reduce extension costs, and (iii) explanations of molecular and cellular drug responses. In testing, students found the tool and topic understandable and engaging. The tool is being modified for use at the Tech Museum of Innovation in California.

Abstract
Advances in transgenic plants expressing Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) insecticidal gene(s) offer a promising alternative to traditional insecticides for control of lepidopteran pests on important cruciferous vegetable crops such as cabbage and cauliflower. A public-private partnership, the Collaboration on Insect Management for Brassicas in Asia and Africa (CIMBAA), was formed in 2005 with the goal of developing dual-gene Bt cauliflower and cabbage, initially for India, to replace the use of broad spectrum, traditional insecticides. As a first step in this effort, the major lepidopteran pests of cruciferous vegetable crops [Plutella xylostella (L.), Pieris rapae (L.), Pieris brassicae (L.), Crocidolomia binotalis (L.), Hellula undalis (F.), Diacrisia obliqua Walker, Spodoptera litura F., and Helicoverpa armigera (Hübner)] were collected over a large geographic area (India, Indonesia, Taiwan, China, Australia, and the United States) and tested against purified Cry1Ba2 and Cry1Ca4 toxins, the toxins proposed to be expressed in the CIMBAA plants. Our results demonstrate that Cry1Ba2 and Cry1Ca4 were effective against the primary target of the CIMBAA plants, P. xylostella, regardless of geographic location, and had LC50 values <1.3 ppm. Furthermore, one or both toxins were effective against the other major pest Lepidoptera, except for S. litura or H. armigera which were less susceptible. No cross-resistance has been found between Cry1Ba2 and Cry1Ca4, suggesting cry1Ba2+cry1Ca4 cauliflower and cabbage could be an effective and sustainable tool to control, P. xylostella, the key lepidopteran pest on cruciferous vegetable crops, as well as most other Lepidoptera. As the CIMBAA plants are being developed, further tests are needed to determine whether they will express these proteins at sufficient levels to control all the Lepidoptera. Sustainable use of the dual-gene plants also is discussed.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
There have been several reports of ischaemic complications after routine laparoscopy. The aim of this review was to investigate the relationship between this oxidative stress and pneumoperitoneum.
Methods
Medline, Medline in-process, The Cochrane Library, PubMed and EMBASE were searched for papers on oxidative stress and pneumoperitoneum, from 1947 to March 2008 with no language restriction or restriction on trial design. Papers that did not investigate pneumoperitoneum as a causative factor, or did not report outcome measures related to oxidative stress, were excluded.
Results
A total of 73 relevant papers were identified: 36 animal studies, 21 human clinical trials, nine case reports, five review articles and two comments. Pneumoperitoneum causes a reduction in splanchnic blood flow, resulting in biochemical evidence of oxidative stress in a pressure- and time-dependent manner. There is evidence that the use of carbon dioxide for insufflation is contributory. Several measures proposed to minimize the oxidative stress have shown promise in animal studies, but few have been evaluated in the clinical setting.
Conclusion
There is an increasing body of evidence, mainly from animal studies, that pneumoperitoneum decreases splanchnic perfusion with resulting oxidative stress. It is now appropriate to investigate the clinical significance of pneumoperitoneum-associated oxidative stress.
