Abstract
OBJECTIVE The present cross sectional study was undertaken to study clinical profile of HIV infection in children in Northern India. METHODS 64 children from newborn to eighteen years, presenting for confirmation of diagnosis of HIV infection or monitoring of CD4-CD8 counts in confirmed cases, were evaluated. Children were categorized as per CDC classification of Pediatric HIV. The diagnosis was confirmed by serological tests or PCR assay. CD4-CD8 counts were done by FACS Count. RESULTS Majority of the children were between 18 months to 5 years. Adolescents comprised 24% of the case. 51.5% children were infected through the mode of mother to child transmission. 39% of the case was transfusion-mediated. Unsafe medical injections probably contributed to 6.2% and heterosexual promiscuity led to 3.1% cases. Clubbing, not described in Indian studies so far, was seen in 9.3% cases. CONCLUSIONS HIV infection is a chronic childhood disease extending into adolescence, and contaminated blood and unsafe medical injections are still important routes of HIV transmission in India.

Abstract
Information on the effect of parasitic infections on lipid parameters is scarce. Certain parasites induce significant changes in lipid parameters, as demonstrated by the fact that substitution of lipid/cholesterol for serum in axenic culture medium (in vitro) and in experimental models (in vivo) supports vigorous growth of Entamoeba histolytica. Thus, significant changes in lipid parameters may be induced in an infected host. Blood samples are obtained from intestinal amoebiasis patients passing E. histolytica (n=8), E. dispar (n=15) or Giardia lamblia (n=9) cysts, or diagnosed with amoebic liver abscess (ALA; n=50) and from apparently normal healthy individuals (control group; n=30). Levels of total serum cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein and low-density lipoprotein are assessed using commercial kits. E. histolytica and E. dispar isolates are differentiated by hexokinase isoenzyme electrophoresis and by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA; Techlab) tests. Results show that E. histolytica, E. dispar and G. lamblia cyst passers had significantly lower levels of total serum cholesterol (73.42 +/- 2.24 mg/dL), compared to levels in ALA cases (101 +/- 2.85 mg/dL) and in controls (166.26 +/- 2.02 mg/dL). Further study of a greater number of cases is needed to explore the relevance of this finding.

Abstract
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is the most important causative agent of blood borne hepatitis in humans. Hepatitis D Virus (HDV) infection occurs either as a coinfection or superinfection in HBV carriers. Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is the major cause of transfusion non-A, non-B hepatitis and continues to be a major cause of human liver disease throughout the world. The present study was conducted on 70 clinically diagnosed cases of viral hepatitis to study the prevalence of parenterally transmitted viral hepatitis. The serum samples were tested for HBsAg, HBeAg, IgM anti-HBc, anti-HBe, anti-HCV and anti-HDV using separate ELISA kits. Of the 70 serum samples tested, 28 (40%) were positive for HBsAg out of which 3 (4.28%) were positive for HBeAg also. Five (7.1%) of the HBsAg positive cases tested positive for IgM anti-HBc also. HBsAg alone was found in 17 (24.28%) cases. The prevalence of anti-HCV was 3 (4.28%) in 70 cases. Thus early screening of clinically diagnosed cases of viral hepatitis is essential for establishing diagnosis and treatment to prevent long term sequelae.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Laparoscopic-assisted colon resection (LACR) for benign disease has gained acceptance and has a lower morbidity than open surgery. Reports in Western literature have outlined the use of LACR for diverticulosis, ulcerative colitis, and Crohn's disease. We evaluated the use of LACR in patients with ileo-cecal tuberculosis (IC-TB) and describe our technique and results. METHODS Twenty-six patients (20 F) between 16 and 45 years of age underwent a LACR for IC-TB over a 4-year period. Three access ports were used in 22 patients, four patients needed four ports. The cecum, ascending colon, proximal transverse colon, and terminal ileum were mobilized completely. The right colic vessels were divided intracorporeally. The specimen was delivered using a 5- to 6-cm incision. The ileo-colic pedicle and bowel were divided outside and an ileocolic anastomosis performed. After placing the bowel within the abdomen the pneumoperitoneum was recreated, saline irrigation done, and hemostasis achieved. RESULTS No patient needed a formal laparotomy. Peristalsis returned within 48 h in 19 patients and after 72 h in the remaining seven. Oral liquids were started on all patients by the 3rd postoperative day (POD) and a soft diet by the 5th POD. Twenty patients had a bowel movement by the 4th POD and the rest by the 5th POD. Eighteen patients were discharged by the 5th day and the remaining by the 7th day. Three patients developed wound sepsis. Twenty-one patients could resume normal activity within 2 weeks, the rest within a month. CONCLUSION Laparoscopic-assisted colon resection seems to be an ideal operation for patients with ileo-cecal tuberculosis. It has minimal morbidity and allows a quick return to normal activity.

Abstract
Infection with Entamoeba histolytica results in high mortality worldwide. Studies on the cytokine response in symptomatic and asymptomatic amoebiasis (caused by E. histolytica, the pathogenic species and E. dispar, the non-pathogenic species) subjects and their correlation with symptomatology are lacking. The present study reports the cytokine response (TNF-alpha, IFN-gamma, IL-4, IL-10 and TGF-beta) in such subjects as measured by RT-PCR. The results showed significantly (< 0.05) higher expressions of IL-10 and TGF-beta in the symptomatic group as compared to the asymptomatic and healthy controls. The cytokine profile indicated the role of suppressive immune response in symptomatic amoebiasis patients.

Abstract
Approximately 10% of transfusion associated hepatitis and 20% of community acquired hepatitis cases do not have a defined etiology, suggesting the existence of an additional causative agent. The recent agents which have been detected in blood were Hepatitis G virus (HGV) and TT virus (TTV), members of the family Circoviridae. These viruses were initially thought to be associated with post-transfusion hepatitis but later studies negated this causal effect. Recently, a novel DNA virus at the moment designated as SEN virus (SEN-V) was discovered and is thought to be associated with post-transfusion hepatitis. This virus is related to the above two agents and belongs to the same family. Whether, like HGV and TTV causal relationship with hepatitis is finally confirmed only time will tell, but, at the moment the association appears to present. The present review summarizes the present available data on this new agent of hepatitis.

Abstract
A total of 59,450 sera from January 1996 to December 2000 were subjected to VDRL testing. Overall VDRL positivity rate was 3.2% and downward trend was observed in the recent years, 1999 and 2000. Majority of the samples were from Gynaecology department, out of which 1.57% were VDRL positive. Out of 30,045 samples from antenatal females, 517(1.47%) were positive, while 304(1.8%) were positive out of 16,980 samples obtained from couples. Out of 304 samples from couples found positive, 17.4% wives had titre >R16; 27.9% wives had titre R1 to R8, out of which 15.3% husbands had titre of >R16. Also, 166 wives with nonreactive VDRL had 19.3% husbands with titre > R16. Thus, couple VDRL test plays an important role in detection of hidden cases of syphilis in the community and early detection and treatment of such cases will further reduce the perinatal morbidity and mortality.

Abstract
Acute amebic meningoencephalitis caused by free-living amebae naegleria fowleri is extremely rare and uniformly fatal with only seven survivals reported till date. An interesting case of naegleria meningitis diagnosed by wet mount cytology of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and treated with amphoterecin B, rifampicin and ornidazole with complete recovery is presented. In cases of suspected pyogenic meningitis, if CSF staining, antigen detection or culture is negative for bacteria, a wet mount cytology of CSF for naegleria is suggested. Early treatment with amphoterecin B and rifampicin may improve survival.

Abstract
Five viruses are usually associated with hepatitis in humans: A-E. In addition to these viruses as aetiological agents of hepatitis, there remain a number of patients with hepatitis in whom no virus could be identified. It was therefore postulated that there may be other agents which may be causing hepatitis. Recently, two viruses have been associated with hepatitis: hepatitis G virus (HGV), and transfusion transmissible virus (TTV). Hepatitis G virus (HGV) is a single stranded RNA virus which represents a newly discovered virus belonging to the flavivirus family. HGV is distinct from hepatitis C virus (HCV) and the newly discovered GBV-A and GBV-B agents, while GBV-C represents an isolate of HGV. The structure of the HGV genome resembles that of HCV. HGV replicates in peripheral blood cells, while replication in liver cells has not been observed till date. Diagnosis of HGV infection is mainly by use of polymerase chain reaction (PCR), as serological techniques are still being developed. Epidemiological data indicate that the virus is prevalent throughout the world, including India and is transmitted via blood/blood products, sexually and vertically from infected mothers to children. The relationship between infection with the virus and presence of liver pathology is controversial and has not been proven beyond doubt, as majority of patients with HGV have no detectable evidence of disease.

Abstract
In the present study, the adhesibility of Acanthamoeba castellani trophozoites and cysts to hydrogel contact lenses and to human cornea was investigated. Segments of unworn contact lenses were prepared (120 segments in total). In addition, 8 corneal buttons were obtained from 8 enucleated eyes. And each cornea cut into 8 radial segments. To these lens and corneal segments, 1.2 x 106/ml and 1.3 x 106/ml of cysts and trophozoites respectively were added under varying conditions. The adhesion was checked at 0, 3 and 24 hours after the exposure. Adhesion analysis showed that the trophozoites adhered equally well to lens or cornea. There is an increase in the number of trophozoites adhering to contact lenses as well as cornea. This difference is more significant for contact lenses. Washing of contact lenses significantly decreased the adherence of the trophozoites after 3 hours of incubation. When the comparison of adhesion was done between the unwashed worn and unwashed unworn contact lenses, it was observed that there was a significant difference in adherence to new lenses where the adherence was much lower. The study shows that washing of contact lenses does decrease the chances of colonization by Acantamoeba catellani and also that older lenses have higher chances of getting colonized probably due to the occurrence of scratches et. on the surface which may help in colonization.

Abstract
The study addressed to resolve the mechanism involved in cholesterol-dependent regulation of giardia encystation process, revealed that (a) the trophozoites have the ability to express genes coding for receptor-Ck and sterol element binding protein (SREBP); (b) inhibition of cholesterol dependent activation of receptor-Ck results in the upregulation of CWP-1 gene expression leading to encystation process. Based upon these findings, we propose that receptor-Ck dependent signalling is responsible for the regulation of giardia encystation process by cholesterol.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bioprosthetic heart valve use is limited by progressive degeneration. Early degenerative changes are often occult, making assessment of tissue integrity difficult. Ultrasound tissue characterization may detect alterations in tissue structure and allow early detection of leaflet degeneration. METHODS Using a modified echocardiographic unit (Acuson), radiofrequency (RF) integrated backscatter amplitude (IBA) (integral/RF/dt) was measured in 38 leaflets from nine explanted and six control porcine valves. Regions of interest in each leaflet were studied using four ultrasound frequencies. Radiographic gray scale mean and leaflet thickness were measured at each region of interest. Percent collagen and mineral were calculated for each region of interest using color-image processing of histologic sections and compared to IBA. RESULTS IBA values for control vs. explanted leaflets were (mean value+/-standard deviation): 8.2+/-4.69 dB vs. -4.7+/-4.64 dB at 7.0 MHz; -5.8+/-4.34 dB vs. -3.1+/-5.34 dB at 5.0 MHz; -3.8+/-3.38 dB vs. -2.1+/-3.18 dB at 3.5 MHz; and -9.0+/-4.58 dB vs. -7.1+/-4.25 dB at 2.5 MHz. Collagen content was 27.7+/-8.50% vs. 33.2+/-10.90%, mineral content was 0.1+/-0.10% vs. 2.1+/-4.30%, and radiographic gray scale mean was 150.6+/-1.96 vs. 145.3+/-5.14 for control vs. explanted leaflets, respectively. For control and explanted leaflets IBA, collagen content, mineral content, and radiographic gray scale mean were different (control vs. explanted P<0.05). Leaflet thickness was also noted to be different between the two groups. IBA was different among explanted leaflets with low, medium, and high mineral content. CONCLUSION IBA was found to be a useful technique to differentiate normal from explanted porcine prosthetic valves in vitro. This method may be useful in the serial assessment of bioprosthetic leaflet degenerative properties in vivo.

Abstract
The present study was conducted to compare the therapeutic regimens of low-dose mifepristone (200 mg) plus vaginal meteneprost versus oral misoprostol in terms of efficacy and safety for medical termination of early pregnancy. A randomized clinical trial was conducted by the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi. A total of 101 subjects were enrolled within 56 days of amenorrhea. A single dose of 200 mg of mifepristone (RU 486) was given and, 48 hr later, prostaglandin was administered as either 5 mg of 9 methylene PGE2 vaginal gel, meteneprost (classified as group I) or 600 microg of oral PGE1 derivative misoprostol (classified as group II). In group I, 50 subjects and in group II, 51 subjects were treated with the respective schedule. The success rate with mifepristone + misoprostol (group II) was 88.63% which was significantly higher than that with mifepristone + meteneprost (group I) which was 82% (p < 0.05). The average duration of bleeding in cases with complete abortion was 8.95+/-5.67 and 9.77+/-6.51 in group I and II, respectively. There were no serious side-effects. Only one subject in group I (2%) required blood transfusion for heavy bleeding. This study indicated that oral prostaglandin after a low dose of mifepristone (200 mg) could be developed into an effective method to terminate early pregnancy. Oral administration of both drugs would be a more convenient, feasible, private and acceptable regimen.
