Abstract
Delphinium roylei Munz is an indigenous medicinal plant to India where its activity against cancer has not been previously investigated, and its specific interactions of bioactive compounds with vulnerable breast cancer drug targets remain largely unknown. Therefore, in the current study, we aimed to evaluate the anti-breast cancer activity of different extracts of D. roylei against breast cancer and deciphering the molecular mechanism by Network Pharmacology combined with Molecular Docking and in vitro verification. The experimental plant was extracted with various organic solvents according to their polarity index. Phytocompounds were identified by High resolution-liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (HR-LC/MS) technique, and SwissADME programme evaluated their physicochemical properties. Next, target(s) associated with the obtained bioactives or breast cancer-related targets were retrieved by public databases, and the Venn diagram selected the overlapping targets. The networks between overlapping targets and bioactive were visualized, constructed, and analyzed by STRING programme and Cytoscape software. Finally, we implemented a molecular docking test (MDT) using AutoDock Vina to explore key target(s) and compound(s). HR-LC/MS detected hundreds of phytocompounds, and few were accepted by Lipinski's rules after virtual screening and therefore classified as drug-like compounds (DLCs). A total of 464 potential target genes were attained for the nine quantitative phytocompounds and using Gene Cards, OMIM and DisGeNET platforms, 12063 disease targets linked to breast cancer were retrieved. With Kyoto Encyclopaedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment, a total of 20 signalling pathways were manifested, and a hub signalling pathway (PI3K-Akt signalling pathway), a key target (Akt1), and a key compound (8-Hydroxycoumarin) were selected among the 20 signalling pathways via molecular docking studies. The molecular docking investigation revealed that among the nine phytoconstituents, 8-hydroxycoumarin showed the best binding energy (-9.2 kcal/mol) with the Akt1 breast cancer target. 8-hydroxycoumarin followed all the ADME property prediction using SwissADME, and 100 nanoseconds (ns) MD simulations of 8-hydroxycoumarin complexes with Akt1 were found to be stable. Furthermore, D. roylei extracts also showed significant antioxidant and anticancer activity through in vitro studies. Our findings indicated for the first time that D. roylei extracts could be used in the treatment of BC.

Abstract
Poultry is reared in open side houses in most of the tropical countries, which results in huge temperature variation in shed causing stress resulting in increased demand of antioxidant supplementation. Since cooling of poultry houses or environment control is very expensive, thus methods focused on nutritional modifications appears to be the much logical approach. Stress increases mineral and vitamin mobilization from tissues and their excretion. Effect of some minerals and vitamin supplements such as chromium (Cr) and ascorbic acid to elevate the negative effects of environmental stress is well documented. Cr functions as an antioxidant and its deficiency are said to disrupt carbohydrate and protein metabolism. Cr has been utilized for weight gain, to improve feed conversion ratio, increase relative organ weight, muscle development, decrease cholesterol, increase high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and improve nutrient digestion. Therefore, the present review discusses the beneficial aspects of Cr with its effect in different doses and antioxidant combinations to explore and promote its optimum utilization in poultry nutrition and production.

Abstract
Aims: To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of anterior tension band wiring technique using two cannulated cancellous screws in patients with transverse (AO34-C1) or transverse with mildly comminuted (AO34-C2) patellar fractures. Materials and Methods: This is a prospective study of 25 patients with transverse fracture or transverse fracture with mildly comminuted patella fractures. All the patients were treated with open reduction and internal fixation using two parallel cannulated screws and 18G stainless steel wire as per the tension band principle. Results: There were eighteen males (72%) and seven females (28%). The age group ranged from 24 to 58 years, with mean age of 38 years. The most common mode of injury was fall (72%) followed by road traffic accident (20%) and violent quadriceps contraction (8%). Transverse fracture was present in 60% and transverse fracture with mild comminution in 40% of patients. Mean time to achieve union was 10.7 weeks (range 8-12 weeks). Mean ROM at three months was 113.8 degree (90-130) and at final follow up this improved to 125.4 degrees (range 100-140). There was one case of knee stiffness and no case of implant failure was observed. Patients were evaluated using Bostman scoring, the mean score at three months being 26.04 which improved to 27.36 at the end of final follow up at one year. Conclusion: Cannulated cancellous screws with anterior tension band wiring is a safe, reliable and reproducible method in management of transverse patellar fractures, with less chances of implant failure and soft tissue irritation.

Abstract
From December 1989 to March 1992, 50 (32%) of 156 patients with hepatobiliary and pancreatic ascariasis underwent various endoscopic interventional procedures. Endoscopic intervention was performed when patients did not respond to energetic symptomatic treatment within the first few days of hospitalization (n = 45) or when worms had not moved out of the ducts into the duodenum at 3 weeks (n = 5). Worm extraction was successful in all 18 patients from the ampullary orifice and in 34 (89.5%) of 38 patients from the bile or pancreatic duct. In five patients with pyogenic cholangitis, endoscopic nasobiliary drainage was performed to decompress the bile ducts. After worm extraction/nasobiliary drainage, 41 (91%) of the 45 patients with biliary disease (n = 42) or acute pancreatitis (n = 3) had rapid relief of symptoms. Three patients developed complications related to endoscopy, including cholangitis (n = 2) and hypotension (n = 1).

Abstract
From December 1982 to December 1991, cholangiograms were obtained in 227 patients with recurrent pyogenic cholangitis. Cholangiographic abnormalities included biliary dilation, calculi, sludge, excessive branching, and arrowhead formation of intrahepatic ducts and biliary strictures. In 21 patients, previous evidence of biliary ascariasis was seen. Repeat cholangiograms were performed in 55 patients in a follow-up period of 18.0 +/- 1 months. Of these patients, 12 treated conservatively continued to get recurrent cholangitis and revealed worsening abnormalities on repeat cholangiograms. Another 25 patients had successful endoscopic sphincterotomy and extraction of biliary calculi. These patients remained free of symptoms on follow-up, with significant resolution of abnormalities on repeat cholangiograms. The remaining 18 patients with failed surgical or endoscopic interventions continued to get recurrent episodes of cholangitis and worsening of abnormalities on repeat cholangiograms. This retrospective study indicates that the natural course of recurrent pyogenic cholangitis is a progressive, destructive cholangiopathy. Ascaris lumbricoides invasion of the biliary tree is an initiating event in a sub-group of patients.

Abstract
We prospectively studied 21 consecutive patients with extrahepatic portal venous obstruction for evidence of biliary tract disease. Two patients were first seen with extrahepatic cholestasis; another had recurrent cholangitis. All three patients with clinically manifest biliary disease were adults. Another five patients had icterus on clinical examination. Liver function tests revealed elevated bilirubin levels in 14 patients (66.6%), elevated alkaline phosphatase levels in 17 (80.9%) and elevated serum ALT levels in 8 (38.0%). Endoscopic retrograde cholangiography revealed abnormal findings in 17 patients (80.9%). The changes involved the common bile duct (66.6%) more often than they did the hepatic bile ducts (38.1%). Cholangiographic abnormalities included strictures (52.4%), caliber irregularity (23.8%), segmental upstream dilatation (42.8%), ectasia (9.5%), collateral veins causing extraluminal bile duct impressions (14.3%), displacement of ducts (9.5%), angulation of ducts (4.7%) and pruning of intrahepatic ducts (9.5%). The pathogenesis of such cholangiographic abnormalities is unknown. However, possible factors in such changes include collateral veins bridging the blocked portal vein, causing bile duct impressions; fibrous scarring of porta hepatis, causing angulation of bile duct; and ischemic injury to bile duct, leading to stricture formation and caliber irregularity. Biliary disease is important in the clinical outcome of patients with extrahepatic portal venous obstruction because variceal sclerotherapy has prolonged the life expectancies of such patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recently, drug treatment and percutaneous drainage have been used successfully when treating hepatic hydatid cysts. Until now, there is no published study comparing the relative safety and efficacy of these two forms of treatment. METHODS In a prospective study, 33 hepatic hydatid cysts were randomly distributed to receive percutaneous drainage (10), albendazole (10 mg.kg-1.day-1 for 8 weeks) plus percutaneous drainage (12), and albendazole alone (11). Patients were serially assessed by clinical and biochemical examinations, ultrasonography, and hydatid serology. RESULTS On serial ultrasonography, cysts attained heterogeneous echopattern in 18, uniform echogenicity in 11, and disappearance in 3. All 22 cysts treated with percutaneous drainage and only 2 (18.2%) cysts treated with albendazole alone reduced in size and change in echopattern (P < 0.01). Maximum size reduction was observed in cysts treated with a combination of percutaneous drainage and albendazole (P < 0.05). Complications observed with drainage were cyst infection in 2 patients, fever in 3, cyst biliary rupture in 1, and urticaria in 2. These were managed successfully without any mortality. Three patients who received albendazole developed reversible elevation of liver cell enzymes. CONCLUSIONS It was concluded that percutaneous drainage with albendazole therapy is an effective form of management for hepatic hydatid cysts.

Abstract
The prevalence of serum antibodies to hepatitis C virus was assessed by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay in patients with epidemic non-A, non-B hepatitis (14), sporadic non-A, non-B hepatitis (42), chronic hepatitis (14) and cirrhosis (26). None of the patients with epidemic non-A, non-B hepatitis (14) and acute self-limiting sporadic non-A, non-B hepatitis without prior parenteral exposure (38) tested positive for hepatitis C virus antibody. Based on epidemiologic features, hepatitis E virus is presumably the etiologic agent for both these entities. Hepatitis C virus (HCV) antibody was positive in none of the patients with cryptogenic chronic hepatitis (11) and in 2(8%) patients with cryptogenic cirrhosis (25). It was concluded that cryptogenic chronic hepatitis and cirrhosis in India may be caused by alternative viral agents of the non-A, non-B type or by hepatotoxins to which the population may be exposed. Of 8 patients with prior parenteral exposure (transfusions 6, needle pricks 2) 5 (62.5%) patients tested positive for HCV antibody. HCV antibody was detected in 1 (25%) patient with acute self-limiting, parenterally transmitted non-A, non-B hepatitis and in 4 (100%) patients with chronic parenterally transmitted non-A, non-B hepatitis.

Abstract
Sonographic and cholangiographic appearances of confirmed intrabiliary rupture of a hepatic hydatid cyst were studied in 15 cases. Sonographic findings included liver cyst in all cases; nonshadowing echogenic structures in the dilated biliary tree representing hydatid material, such as fragmented membranes, sand, matrix, and daughter vesicles, in eight cases; and loss of continuity of the cyst wall adjacent to the bile duct representing the site of communication in seven cases. Cholangiographic findings were as follows: filling defects of varying size and shapes in the dilated biliary tree in 13 cases, and changing shape and position of these filling defects in three of them; and leakage of contrast medium into the cyst cavity in 12 cases. Intrabiliary rupture of hepatic hydatid cyst was suggested by sonography in 10 cases (66.7%) and at cholangiography in 13 cases (86.6%). We conclude that a joint application of sonography and endoscopic cholangiography is mandatory for proper preoperative evaluation of this disorder.

Abstract
The incidence, clinical disease and outcome of acute pancreatitis caused by ascariasis in an endemic area of Kashmir, India, was studied prospectively. Ascariasis was an aetiological factor in 59 of 256 patients (23.0 per cent) with acute pancreatitis. Worms had invaded the bile duct in 51 patients, the pancreatic duct in four and both ducts in four. Pancreatitis was mild in 46 patients and severe in 13. Associated pyogenic cholangitis was present in eight. Acute complications occurred in 11 patients. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) was performed in all cases within 72 h of admission and delineated ascarides in the duodenum invading the ampullary orifice (44 patients), in the bile duct (55) and in the pancreatic duct (eight). At ERCP, worms were extracted from the ampullary orifice and removed via the mouth of 33 patients with intractable epigastric pain, leading to rapid relief of symptoms. The eight patients with pyogenic cholangitis underwent endoscopic nasobiliary drainage to decompress the bile ducts; worms were extracted from the bile duct of three of these patients using a Dormia basket. A total of 56 patients recovered from acute illness with a combination of conservative and endoscopic treatment; the other three required emergency surgery. At a mean(s.d.) follow-up of 19(7) months, ten patients showed symptomatic worm reinvasion of the biliary tree. The overall mortality rate was 3 per cent.

Abstract
Invasion of the adult roundworm, Ascaris lumbricoides, into the gallbladder is rare and was seen in 14(2.1%) of the 665 cases with hepatobiliary ascariasis. The diagnosis was suggested in all 13 cases in which sonography was performed and in 5 of the 11 cases at endoscopic retrograde cholangiography. Sonographic findings included a nonshadowing, long, echogenic structure in the form of a coil, an echogenic strip with central anechoic tube, an echogenic structure extending across the gallbladder giving it a septate appearance, and characteristic erratic, nondirectional, zig-zag movements of these echogenic structures in the gallbladder. Serial sonograms accurately predicted spontaneous exit of the worm. Pregnancy and anomalous origin of the cystic duct directly from the papilla of Vater facilitated worm invasion into the gallbladder. We conclude that real-time sonography offers a simple, rapid approach for the diagnosis and follow-up of patients, whereas endoscopic retrograde cholangiography has limited diagnostic value in this disorder.

Abstract
This study was undertaken to assess the role of person-to-person transmission in hepatitis E and the ability of immune serum globulin (ISG) from an Indian source to prevent such transmission. Seventy six subjects (62 household contacts of patients with sporadic hepatitis E and 14 controls with no household contacts) were studied clinically, biochemically and serologically at entry and fortnightly thereafter for the next 8 weeks. Thirty two household contacts received 2 mL of 16.5% ISG 16.5% while the other 30 household contacts and 14 controls received 2 mL of normal saline intramuscularly at entry. Eighteen (29%) household contacts and none of the control subjects developed biochemical evidence of acute hepatitis E (p less than 0.01). The enzyme elevation occurred after a mean interval of 31.0 +/- 4.5 days from the onset of disease in the index case. This suggested that the disease in the case contacts had been contracted by household contact with the index case and not by simultaneous infection of the index case and the household contact. The incidence of disease was similar in the household contacts receiving ISG and normal saline (25% and 33.3% respectively, p = ns). ISG had no effect on the time interval to SGPT rise or on the severity of disease in household contacts.
