Abstract
This Letter presents the measurement of near-side associated per-trigger yields, denoted ridge yields, from the analysis of angular correlations of charged hadrons in proton-proton collisions at sqrt[s]=13 TeV. Long-range ridge yields are extracted for pairs of charged particles with a pseudorapidity difference of 1.4<|Δη|<1.8 and a transverse momentum of 1

Abstract
The first measurement of the cross section for incoherent photonuclear production of J/ψ vector mesons as a function of the Mandelstam |t| variable is presented. The measurement was carried out with the ALICE detector at midrapidity, |y|<0.8, using ultraperipheral collisions of Pb nuclei at a center-of-mass energy per nucleon pair of sqrt[s_{NN}]=5.02 TeV. This rapidity interval corresponds to a Bjorken-x range (0.3-1.4)×10^{-3}. Cross sections are given in five |t| intervals in the range 0.04<|t|<1 GeV^{2} and compared to the predictions by different models. Models that ignore quantum fluctuations of the gluon density in the colliding hadron predict a |t| dependence of the cross section much steeper than in data. The inclusion of such fluctuations in the same models provides a better description of the data.

Abstract
The present study aimed to evaluate Cassia fistula seed galactomannan (CFSG) as a tablet-binder in the formulation of a monolithic matrix tablet using diclofenac sodium as a model drug. Initially, CFSG was extracted and purified from the seeds of the Cassia fistula tree and then screened for phytochemicals. Native CFSG was characterized with polysaccharide content determination, monosaccharide composition analysis, elemental analysis, FTIR, solid-state 13C NMR, molecular weight, zeta potential, DSC, TGA-DTA, XRD, viscosity, pH and surface tension, rheology, SEM and acute oral toxicity study. Prior to formulation, the drug-CFSG compatibility was checked by FTIR, DSC, and XRD. Diclofenac sodium-loaded granules were prepared by the wet granulation method and evaluated for various granule properties. Finally, granules were compressed into tablets and evaluated for binding and other tablet properties. The granules showed to have optimum micromeritic properties. Tablet hardness and friability were found to be approximately 7 kg/m2 and 0.3 %, respectively, which substantiate the excellent binding capacity of CFSG. Other tablet properties were also found to be within the Pharmacopoeial compliance limit. The tablets with a minimum concentration of CFSG (2.5%w/w) as binder showed appreciable mechanical strength and faster drug release, which ratifies CFSG as an alternative tablet binder.

Abstract
The role of mangroves in sequestering metal and nutrients in sediment has been described in the past, but knowledge gaps still exist on storage capacity and recycling fluxes of elements in plant biomass, notably concerning their magnitude in root uptake and loss by litterfall. This study addresses the storage and transport pathways of 16 elements, classified as macro-nutrients (Ca, Mg, Na, K), micro-nutrients (Fe, Mn, Ni, Co, Cu, Cr, Zn, Mo), and potential toxicants (Al, Cd, Sn, Pb) in the world's largest mangroves, the Sundarbans. Elemental concentrations in plant organs were generally lower than in the sediment. The stock of macro and micro-nutrients in plant biomass varied from 60 to 2717 and 0.003 to 37.7 Mg ha-1 respectively, with highest values observed for Na and lowest for Cd. The Avicennia species exhibited the maximal accumulation of all elements. Translocation of major elements to different plant organs increased with increasing their concentrations in the sediment. Elemental loss via litterfall indicated that Sundarbans mangrove could act as a source, particularly of Mn, to the Bay of Bengal. Moreover, belowground uptake of the 16 elements showed 2-3 fold higher fluxes than their loss via litterfall. There was a significant retention of some trace elements (notably Mo, Cd, and Sn) in plant biomass, which might allow one to use these mangroves for phytoremediation and restoration purposes. We conclude that mangroves efficiently store and remobilize major and trace elements from the sediments by root uptake and recycle back to sediment surface via litterfall.

Abstract
Air pollution due to dust emission is continuously increasing day by day in mining and allied industrial areas. Mining operations contribute a substantial amount of dust emission at the crushing, screening, and bulk material handling in loading areas. The ambient suspended dust particles create a severe nuisance to workers and local dwellers. For effective controlling of positive dust emission, an innovative automated dry fog dust suppression system (DFDSS) has been developed using hybrid nozzles, sensors, actuators, controllers, screw compressors, air receivers, pumps, motors, and water arrangement with filtration facility. The DFDSS was installed in a crushing and screening plant of an iron ore mine in India. Performance study indicted fugitive dust emission concentration values ranged from 354 to 7040 μg m-3, which was reduced to 91-300 μg m-3 after installation of DFDSS. The reduced values were within the permissible limit of 1200 μg m-3 at a distance of 25 ± 2 m in the predominant downwind direction. The installed DFDSS added a meager addition of moisture content of 0.032% in the handling iron ore material, which was below the acceptable limit of 0.1%. The DFDSS precisely regulated fugitive dust emission from various mining activities without affecting the minerals processing performance. Thus, the DFDSS can be implemented effectively in different mining and allied industries where there is a dust emission problem.

Sex differences in forebrain estrogen receptor regulation of hypoglycemic patterns of counter-regulatory hormone secretion and ventromedial hypothalamic nucleus glucoregulatory neurotransmitter and astrocyte glycogen metabolic enzyme expression.

Abstract
The female ventromedial hypothalamic nucleus (VMN) is a focal substrate for estradiol (E) regulation of energy balance, feeding, and body weight, but how E shapes VMN gluco-regulatory signaling in each sex is unclear. This study investigated the hypothesis that estrogen receptor-alpha (ERα) and/or -beta (ERβ) control VMN signals that inhibit [γ-aminobutyric acid] or stimulate [nitric oxide, steroidogenic factor-1 (SF-1)] counter-regulation in a sex-dependent manner. VMN nitrergic neurons monitor astrocyte fuel provision; here, we examined how these ER regulate astrocyte glycogen metabolic enzyme, monocarboxylate transporter, and adrenoreceptor protein responses to insulin-induced hypoglycemia (IIH) in each sex. Testes-intact male and E-replaced ovariectomized female rats were pretreated by intracerebroventricular ERα antagonist (MPP) or ERβ antagonist (PHTPP) administration before IIH. Data implicate both ER in hypoglycemic inhibition of neuronal nitric oxide synthase protein in each sex and up-regulation of glutamate decarboxylase65/67 and SF-1 expression in females. ERα and -β enhance astrocyte AMPK and glycogen synthase expression and inhibit glycogen phosphorylase in hypoglycemic females, while ERβ suppresses the same proteins in males. Differential VMN astrocyte protein responses to IIH may partially reflect ERα and -β augmentation of ERβ and down-regulation of alpha1, alpha2, and beta1 adrenoreceptor proteins in females, versus ERβ repression of GPER and alpha2 adrenoreceptor profiles in males. MPP or PHTPP pretreatment blunted counter-regulatory hormone secretion in hypoglycemic males only, suggesting that in males one or more VMN neurotransmitters exhibiting sensitivity to forebrain ER may passively regulate this endocrine outflow, whereas female forebrain ERα and -β are apparently uninvolved in these contra-regulatory responses.

Abstract
We report the binding of testo and testo-Pt(II) complexes (testosterone derivatives) with tRNA in aqueous solution at physiological pH. Thermodynamic parameter ΔH0 -8 to -3 (kJ mol-1), ΔS0 35 to 18 (J mol-1K-1) and ΔG0 -14 to -13 (kJ mol-1) and other spectroscopic results showed drug-tRNA binding occurs via ionic contacts with testo-Pt(II) forming more stable tRNA complexes in comparison to testo: Ktesto-Pt(II)-tRNA= 3.2 (± 0.9) × 105 M-1 > Ktesto-tRNA= 2.1 (± 0.7) × 105 M-1. Molecular modeling showed multiple binding sites for testo and testo-Pt(II) on tRNA molecule. Some of the useful molecular descriptors are calculated. Major structural changes were observed for biopolymers upon drug complexation, while tRNA remains in the A-family structures.

Abstract
Of all cases of idiopathic steroid-sensitive nephrotic syndrome (NS) in children, 40%-75% cases need long-term continuous steroids and/or other immunosuppressants to maintain remission, the effects of which on growth and renal function remain an issue of concern. The study aimed at exploring the safety and efficacy of mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) as a remission-maintaining agent in children with a diagnosis of frequent relapsing or steroid-dependent NS (FRNS/SDNS) requiring continuous medication for at least 1 year. Thirty-two children thus included received MMF (1000-1200 mg/m2/day) for 7 months along with tapering doses of oral prednisolone if it was being given from before with an attempt at tapering at 0.25 mg/kg/month ultimately stopping it altogether. Individuals were followed up for at least 5 more months after stopping MMF. Out of 32 children, 26 had SDNS and 6 had FRNS with male:female ratio being 2.2:1. The mean standard deviation (± SD) age of onset of disease was 2.72 ± 1.3 years and that entry to the study was 7.17 ± 2.2 years. Significant fall in number of relapses was observed following the introduction of MMF (110 in pre-MMF12 month period vs. 52 in post-MMF 12 months [p = 0.002]). The mean relapse rate/year/patient also decreased from 3.43 ± 1.26 to 1.62 ± 1.14 after entry in the study. Significant reduction of the cumulative dose of steroid regarding mean ± SD of mg/kg/year was also found following the introduction of MMF (190.9 ± 47.81 vs. 119.09 ± 60.09 [p = 0.001]). MMF is an efficacious agent in maintaining remission and reducing steroid requirement in children with FRNS and SDNS.

Abstract
Background: Functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) is the cornerstone of therapeutic management for nasal pathologies. This study is to compare the ability of preoperative and intraoperative esmolol versus dexmedetomidine for producing induced hypotension during FESS in adults in a day care setting. Materials and Methods: Sixty patients (20-45 years) posted for FESS under general anesthesia were randomly divided into Group E (n = 30) receiving esmolol, loading dose 1 mg/kg over 1 min followed by 0.5 mg/kg/h infusion during maintenance and Group D (n = 30) receiving dexmedetomidine 1 μg/kg over 15 min before induction of anesthesia followed by 0.5 μg/Kg/h infusion during maintenance, respectively. Nasal bleeding and Surgeon's satisfaction score; amount and number of patients receiving fentanyl and nitroglycerine for analgesia and deliberate hypotension, Postanesthesia Care Unit (PACU) and hospital stay; hemodynamic parameters and side effects were recorded for each patient. Results: Significantly less number and dosage of nitroglycerine was required (P = 0.0032 and 0.0001, respectively) in Group D compared to that in Group E. Again the number and dosage of patients requiring fentanyl were significantly lower in Group D. However, the duration of controlled hypotension was almost similar in both the groups. Group D patients suffered from significantly less nasal bleeding, and surgeon's satisfaction score was also high in this group. Discharge from PACU and hospital were significantly earlier in Group D. Intraoperative hemodynamics were quite comparable (P > 0.05) without any appreciable side effects. Conclusion: Dexmedetomidine found to be providing more effectively controlled hypotension and analgesia and thus allowing less nasal bleeding as well as more surgeons’ satisfaction score.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Adjuvant to the local anesthetic agent has proven benefits when used intrathecally. With regards to intrathecal bupivacaine as control, we have compared in this study the effects of clonidine and neostigmine when co-administered intrathecally with hyperbaric (0.5%) bupivacaine for abdominal hysterectomy. MATERIALS AND METHODS This prospective, randomized, double-blind study was conducted from May 2009 to June 2011. A total of 150 patients of American Society of Anaesthesiology grades I and II scheduled for abdominal hysterectomy under spinal anesthesia were randomly allocated into three groups. A volume of 3 ml of 0.5% hyperbaric bupivacaine was respectively added 1 ml solution containing 5% dextrose and 75 mcg of neostigmine in Group N, 1 ml containing 5% dextrose and 30 mcg of clonidine in Group C and 1 ml of 5% dextrose in Group D (control). We compared the sensory and motor block, the surgical condition, the duration of spinal analgesia and the side-effect profile. RESULTS AND OBSERVATIONS Sensory and motor blocks and duration of spinal analgesia were significantly increased in both Group C and Group N compared to Group D. More incidences of Nausea and vomiting were observed in Group N compared to other groups. The surgical condition was poorer in Group N compared to Group C. CONCLUSION Both intrathecal clonidine and neostigmine increase the bupivacaine-induced spinal block. However, clonidine provides better surgical condition and fewer incidences of nausea and vomiting.

Background: Functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) is the mainstay of a therapeutic technique for nasal pathologies. This study is to compare the ability of preoperative dexmedetomidine versus clonidine for producing controlled hypotensive anesthesia during FESS in adults in an ambulatory care setting. Materials and Methods: Sixty patients (25-50 years) posted for ambulatory FESS procedures under general anesthesia were randomly divided into Group C and D (n = 33 each) receiving dexmedetomidine 1 μg/kg and clonidine 1.5 μg/kg, respectively; both diluted in 100 ml saline solution 15 min before anesthetic induction. Nasal bleeding and surgeon's satisfaction score; amount and number of patients receiving fentanyl and nitroglycerine for analgesia and deliberate hypotension, duration of hypotension, post anesthesia care unit (PACU) and hospital stay; hemodynamic parameters and side effects were recorded for each patient. Results: Number and dosage of nitroglycerine used was significantly (P = 0.034 and 0.0001 respectively) lower in Group D compared to that in Group C. Similarly, number of patients requiring fentanyl and dosage of same was significantly lower in Group D. But, the duration of controlled hypotension was almost similar in both the groups. Group D patients suffered from significantly less nasal bleeding and surgeon's satisfaction score was also high in this group. Discharge from PACU was significantly earlier in Group D, but hospital discharge timing was quite comparable among two groups. Intraoperative hemodynamics was significantly lower in Group D (P < 0.05) without any appreciable side effects.

Abstract
This study reports the measurement of stability constants for the interaction of As (V and III) and Sb (V and III) with humic substances extracted from aquatic sediments of the Sundarban mangrove forest ecosystem. It was observed that As and Sb formed a slightly more stable association with fulvic acid (FA) than with its humic acid (HA) counterpart. Quenching of fluorescence at increasing As (III and V) or Sb (III and V): FA or HA ratios was obtained that ideally correspond to a 1:1 complexation model. Quite strong complexation of As and Sb by FA and HA occurs at neutral pH, indicating that HA and FA probably markedly affect the mobility of As and Sb in the mangrove environment.

Abstract
Careful tuning of formation (calcination) temperature of Sr(2+) doped BiFeO(3) multiferroic ceramics results in tailorable particle morphologies ranging from spherical to pillar-like. Based on the minimization of Gibb's free energy approach, the dominant homogeneous mechanism for particle growth is suggested. The chemical substitution of a trivalent ion (Bi(3+)) by a divalent ion (Sr(2+)) causes the transformation of certain fraction of Fe(3+) to Fe(4+) and/or the appearance of oxygen vacancies. This has been respectively proved by the analysis of XPS and refinement of neutron diffraction data. Although significant modification in the particle morphology is observed, the crystal unit cell remains rhombohedral with a R3c space group but interesting variations in physical properties are achieved. O-vacancies induced strong and sharp photoluminescence activity in the IR region, similar to ZnO, is reported for the first time. This observation opens up a new application for multiferroic ceramics. SQUID M-H data confirms the straightening of the canted spin structure of BiFeO(3), which in turn results in magnetism similar to ferromagnetic materials. Findings of the magneto-dielectric effect are also discussed to claim the multiferroic nature of the sample.

Abstract
Diffuse alveolar hemorrhage is a serious complication of the small vessel vasculitis syndromes and carries a high mortality. Recombinant activated factor VII (rFVIIa) is a powerful hemostatic agent developed for treatment of bleeding in patients with hemophilia and antibodies to factors VIII or IX. It has been used increasingly in life-threatening hemorrhage in a variety of other settings in which conventional medical or surgical therapy is unsuccessful. We report the successful use of rFVIIa for massive pulmonary hemorrhage in a patient of microscopic polyangiitis, which was later complicated by thrombotic microangiopathy and posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Despite the advent and expanding access to antiretroviral therapy, HIV-associated cryptococcal meningitis (CM) remains a significant cause of mortality and morbidity amongst individuals with this infection in resource-limited settings. METHODS We prospectively studied the clinical, biochemical and mycological parameters of 30 HIV patients diagnosed with cryptococcal meningitis at our centre over a period of 6 months with a view to identify prognostic factors predictive of poor outcome. RESULTS Our study documented a mortality rate of 36.7%. Age, sex and previous diagnosis of HIV had no bearing on the survival outcome of patients. The study identified several poor prognostic factors including low GCS score, papilledema, elevated CSF opening pressure (>250 mm of H2O) and lack of regular HIV care in those with a prior diagnosis of HIV. CSF pleocytosis was significantly higher in the mortality group. CONCLUSION There have been relatively few attempts to focus on poor prognostic markers associated with AIDS related Cryptococcal meningitis in Asian patients. Our study highlights how simple bedside clinical tools like ophthalmoscopy and CSF manometry can help in risk stratification in this group of patients.

Abstract
Two large area multistep position sensitive (two dimensional) multiwire proportional counters have been developed for experiments involving study of fission dynamics using general purpose scattering chamber facility at IUAC. Both detectors have an active area of 20x10 cm(2) and provide position signals in horizontal (X) and vertical (Y) planes, timing signal for time of flight measurements and energy signal giving the differential energy loss in the active volume. The design features are optimized for the detection of low energy heavy ions at very low gas pressures. Special care was taken in setting up the readout electronics, constant fraction discriminators for position signals in particular, to get optimum position and timing resolutions along with high count rate handling capability of low energy heavy ions. A custom made charge sensitive preamplifier, having lower gain and shorter decay time, has been developed for extracting the differential energy loss signal. The position and time resolutions of the detectors were determined to be 1.1 mm full width at half maximum (FWHM) and 1.7 ns FWHM, respectively. The detector could handle heavy ion count rates exceeding 20 kHz without any breakdown. Time of flight signal in combination with differential energy loss signal gives a clean separation of fission fragments from projectile and target like particles. The timing and position signals of the detectors are used for fission coincidence measurements and subsequent extraction of their mass, angular, and total kinetic energy distributions. This article describes systematic study of these fission counters in terms of efficiency, time resolution, count rate handling capability, position resolution, and the readout electronics. The detector has been operated with both five electrode geometry and four electrode geometry, and a comparison has been made in their performances.

Abstract
This study aims to investigate the control of arsenic distribution by biogeochemical processes in the Indian Sundarban mangrove ecosystem and the importance of this ecosystem as an arsenic source for surrounding coastal water. The As(V)/As(III) ratio was found to be significantly lower in both surface and pore waters compared to sea water, which could be attributed to biogeochemical interconversion of these arsenic forms. The biological uptake of arsenic due to primary and benthic production occurs during the post-monsoon season, and is followed by the release of arsenic during the biochemical degradation and dissolution of plankton in the pre-monsoon season. These results suggest that arsenic is immobilized during incorporation into the arsenic-bearing initial phase, and unlikely to be released into pore water until the complete microbial degradation of arsenic-bearing organic compounds.

Abstract
We have investigated the effect of nanometric grain size on electronic-transport, magneto-transport and magnetic properties of single-phase La(0.7)Ba(0.3)MnO(3) (LBMO) nanoparticles having an average grain size in the nanometric regime (21-35 nm). We have observed that both the metal-insulator transition temperature (T(P)) and para-ferromagnetic transition temperature (T(C)) shift to lower temperature with a decrease in average grain size. For the entire series of samples, a distinct minima in resistivity at a temperature (T(min)) followed by an upturn at a very low temperature (≤47 K) is observed. We have attributed the steeper low temperature (∼47 K) resistivity upturn in the smaller grain size sample than that in the larger grain size sample below T(min) to the increased value of charging energy (E(C)). E(C) has been estimated to be 1.3, 0.56 and 0.04 K for an average grain size of 21, 25 and 30 nm, respectively. Magneto-transport measurements show that the magnitude of low field MR (LFMR) varies with average grain size. In order to investigate the MR behavior of LBMO nanoparticles, we have analyzed our data in the light of a phenomenological model, based on spin-polarized transport of conduction electrons at the grain boundaries. Magneto-transport measurements show that the magnitude of low field MR (LFMR), as well as of high field MR (HFMR), remains constant up to sufficiently high temperature (∼50 K) and then drops sharply with temperature. We found that this strange temperature dependence of MR is decided predominantly by the nature of the temperature response of the surface magnetization (M(S)) of nanosized magnetic particles.

Abstract
The diagnosis of osteoporosis centers on assessment of bone mass and quality. In the absence of evidence-based guidelines to assess bone status in laboratory animals and unsuitability of use of T-/Z-scores meant for clinical application in animal studies, most investigators involved in new drug research and development employ clinical biomarkers and kits to assess bone turnover rate and portray change in bone mineral density (BMD) as percentage of increase/decrease, making comparative assessment of the effect highly impractical. This study proposes threshold boundaries of BMD (rT-score) in colony-bred Sprague-Dawley rats, distinct from those used clinically. Boundaries were obtained keeping fixed Type-I error (alpha=0.025). Femur neck was considered best for defining bone status using BMD measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Findings demonstrate that BMD<or=-1.96 rT-score signifies osteoporosis and BMD between >-1.96 and <-0.80 rT-score as osteopenia. Performance of boundaries to ascertain bone status was examined through simulation under different physiological/ hormonal states viz. estrogen deficiency, ageing, estrus cycle, pregnancy, and lactation. The Area Under the Receiver Operating Characteristic curve of 0.98 obtained using BMD of femur neck, being close to unity, shows excellent ability of the proposed rT-score to effectively identify osteoporosis. Further studies using certain hierarchical measures of bone quality such as histomorphometry, mechanical testing etc. could supplement these findings. Since, unlike humans, most laboratory animals including rats only exhibit osteopenia and do not fracture their bones, the proposed thresholds are intended to serve as categorical tools to define bone quality and not to predict fracture risk.

Abstract
A 19-year male presented with acute onset, gradually progressive symmetric indurations involving the skin over the face, neck, shoulders and upper part of chest following an upper respiratory tract infection. Detailed history and examination did not reveal evidence of Raynauds' phenomenon, nail changes, digital ulcers, pigmentation or any systemic involvement. Autoantibodies for systemic sclerosis were absent. Histopathology of skin biopsy documented scleredema. Antistreptolysin O (ASO) titer was elevated. We diagnosed a case of Scleredema adultorum of Buschke following a streptococcal throat infection. We report this case to highlight the importance of clinically differentiating this relatively benign, self-limiting disorder from systemic sclerosis.

Abstract
A nine-year-old boy presented with progressively-increasing exertional dyspnoea for the last three months. The only significant finding in the general survey was polydactyly. His vital signs were normal. He had a prominent apical diastolic thrill, a prominent S1 with a low-pitched grade 4/6 mid diastolic rumbling murmur over the apex. The S2 was widely split, fixed and the second component was louder than the first one. There was a grade 3/6 ejection systolic murmur over the left second intercostal space. Electrocardiography showed features of left axis deviation, bi-atrial enlargement and right ventricular hypertrophy. Transthoracic echocardiography identified a thin undulating intra-atrial membrane on the left side along with an ostium-primum defect. In this patient, the diagnosis of a variant of Ellis van Creveld syndrome was made.

Abstract
A 16-year-old boy with a diagnosis of bilateral cryptorchidism was referred for preoperative evaluation. He had diminished hearing and difficulty in vision since birth, with inattentiveness, poor school performance and delayed milestones. He was previously operated on for cleft lip. General survey revealed bilateral short fourth metacarpals and an operative scar mark over the left nostril and upper lip. He had a micropenis, small soft testes with anosmia, and sensory-motor deafness. The hormonal assay was consistent with hypogonadotrophic hypogonadism. Magnetic resonance imaging of the brain and computed tomography cisternography revealed almost hypoplastic olfactory bulb with an ill-defined olfactory tract and sulci, supporting the clinical diagnosis of Kallmann syndrome.

Abstract
In this study, cDNA microarray analysis of a closely related species, Leishmania major, was used as a screening tool to compare antimonial-resistant and susceptible clinical isolates of Leishmania donovani in order to to identify candidate genes on the basis of antimony resistance. Clinically confirmed resistant isolate 39 and sensitive isolate 2001 were used in this study. Many differentially regulated genes were identified whose expression levels differ in sodium antimony gluconate (SAG)-treated patients. Interestingly, genes on the array, showing changes in expression of over 2-fold revealed the identity of ABC transporters, which are known determinants of drug resistance in laboratory mutants. The functionality of the transporters was validated by flow cytometry which, being biologically informative, provides direct clues to gene function. The results suggest that isolate 39 could have developed resistance by an increased multidrug resistance protein (MRP)-like pump. This study provides preliminary clues to the role of a thiol-dependent efflux system in antimonial resistant clinical isolates of Leishmania donovani.

Abstract
Stroke is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality all over the world. Carotid plaque formation and intima media thickness can be a predictor of ischaemic stroke. In this regard studies from our country, are few and far between. This is a small hospital-based study to look in to this matter. We have assessed the intima media thickness of the common carotid as well as the internal and external carotid arteries by the ultrasound method. The lipid profiles were estimated and correlated with the intima media thickness. Results indicate that in the common as well as in the internal and external carotid arteries, the intima media thickness is a good predictor of ischaemic stroke. This thickness is also well correlated with the lipid levels in blood. Hence this non-invasive method can be used successfully to identify the high risk patients, prone to develop stroke.

Abstract
We measured the high frequency dielectric relaxation behavior of DNA molecules confined in nanopores of polycarbonate membrane. The data revealed the existence of a critical frequency omega(c) approximately GHz at which the ac conductivity showed delta-relaxation. Interestingly, the DNA molecules also exhibited a crossover from positive to negative capacitance corresponding to omega(c). The negative capacitance at the critical frequency suggested a strong inductive behavior of DNA molecules in the high frequency regime. The results are interpreted in terms of the confined geometry of the DNA molecules in the nanopores. The interfacial water H-bonded to DNA played a crucial role in determining the high frequency relaxation of DNA molecules. The results indicated that the DNA in nanopores could be designed for application in high frequency bandpass/notch filters.

Abstract
AIM Due of paucity of studies on stress ulcer prophylaxis in intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), we have evaluated the usefulness of ranitidine and sucralfate in preventing gastric hemorrhage (GH) in patients with ICH. SUBJECTS AND METHODS In a hospital-based randomized placebo-controlled study, patients with CT-proven ICH within 7 days of ictus were randomized into ranitidine 50 mg i.v. eight hourly, sucralfate 1 g six hourly and placebo groups. Patients were conservatively managed. Primary endpoint was occurrence of GH within 15 days of ictus and secondary endpoint 1-month mortality. RESULTS The mean age of the patients was 57.2 (range 25-90) years and 40 were females. There were 45 patients in ranitidine, 49 in sucralfate and 47 in placebo group. Demographic, clinical and radiological features were not significantly different in 3 groups. GH occurred in 11 (23.4%) patients in placebo, 5 (11.1%) in ranitidine and 7 (14.3%) in sucralfate group, which was not significant. Only one female had GH. There were 13 (27.7%) deaths in placebo, 5 (11.1%) in ranitidine and 12 (24.5%) in sucralfate group. Pneumonia occurred in placebo group in 5 (10.6%), ranitidine in 2 (4.4%) and sucralfate in 5 (10.2%) patients, which was not significantly different. CONCLUSION Ranitidine and sucralfate do not seem to significantly prevent GH or reduce 1-month mortality.

Abstract
Hepatopulmonary syndrome (HPS) is charaterised by arterial hypoxaemia found mainly in association with chronic liver disease (most commonly cirrhosis of liver) but also rarely with acute liver diseases like fulminant hepatic failure or Budd-Chiari syndrome. The purpose of this article is to present an uncommon but grave complication mostly associated with cirrhosis of liver and to differentiate this entry from cyanotic heart diseases or certain lung conditions. Investigations include history and physical examination, certain biochemical tests, upper gastro-intestinal (GI) endoscopy, abdominal ultrasonography, liver biopsy and venacavography in appropriate cases. Finally, the suspected cases underwent arterial blood gas (ABG) analysis and contrast enhanced echocardiography (CEE) for confirmation of the diagnosis of HPS. Of the 123 cases of cirrhosis of liver, three cases of HPS (2.4%) were found-all of them being males. Also one male patient with inferior vena cava (IVC) obstruction amongst other causes presenting with HPS was encountered. As of now, no medical treatment has been proved to be useful and liver transplant remains the only hope for this disorder.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To study the usefulness of mannitol in spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) patients. METHOD 128 CT proven supratentorial ICH patients within 6 days of ictus were randomized into study and control groups. The study group received mannitol 20%, 100 ml every 4 h for 5 days, tapered in the next 2 days. The control group received sham infusion. Primary endpoint was 1-month mortality and secondary endpoint functional disability at 3 months assessed by Barthel index score. RESULTS There were 65 patients in study and 63 in control groups. The study and control groups were evenly matched regarding age, Glasgow coma scale (GCS) score, Canadian Neurological Scale (CNS) score, pupillary asymmetry, pyramidal signs on non-hemiplegic side, and location, midline shift and ventricular extension of hematoma. At 1 month, 16 patients died in each group. The primary and secondary endpoints were not significantly different between the two groups. CONCLUSION Low dose mannitol does not seem to be beneficial in patients with ICH.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the prognostic significance of various clinical, radiological, and neurophysiological findings in conservatively treated patients with Pott's paraplegia, using multiple regression analysis. METHODS The study included 43 patients with Pott's paraplegia, managed conservatively. The diagnosis of Pott's spine was based on clinical, magnetic resonance imaging, and computed tomography or ultrasound guided aspiration biopsy. All patients were examined clinically, and motor evoked potentials (MEPs) to lower limbs and tibial somatosensory evoked potentials (SEP) were recorded. Outcome at six months was defined as good or poor. For evaluating predictors of outcome, 15 clinical, investigative, and evoked potential variables were analysed, using multiple logistic regression analysis. RESULTS The age range of the patients was 16-70 years, and 22 were female. Mild spasticity with hyperreflexia only was seen in 13 patients. In the remaining, weakness was severe in eight, and moderate and mild in 11 patients each. Twenty patients had loss of joint position sensation. MEP and SEP were abnormal in 19 and 18 patients, respectively. On multiple regression analysis, the best model predicting six month outcome included power, paraplegia score, SEP, and MEP. CONCLUSION Patients with Pott's paraplegia are likely to recover completely by six months if they have mild weakness, lower paraplegia score and normal SEPs and MEPs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE There is no study evaluating the role of clinical, evoked potential and radiological parameters in the prognosis of thalamic hemorrhage employing multivariate logistic regression analysis, thus we aimed to evaluate the role of these parameters in predicting the 3 month outcome following thalamic hemorrhage. SETTING Tertiary care referral teaching hospital. METHODS Fifty-three patients with CT proven thalamic hematoma were evaluated. Conscious level was assessed using the Glasgow Coma Score (GCS), severity of stroke by the Canadian Neurological Scale (CNS), while muscle tone, tendon reflexes and power were also recorded. Hematoma size and type, and evidence of ventricular extension were obtained from the CT scan. Hematomas were classified as (A) thalamic with postero-lateral extension or (B) thalamic without postero-lateral extension. Central motor conduction to upper limb and median somatosensory evoked potentials (SEP) were recorded. Outcome was defined at 3 months on the basis of the Barthel Index (BI) with good being a BI of 12 or greater and poor a BI of less than 12. Best predictors of outcome were evaluated by single variable logistic regression analysis followed by multivariate logistic regression. RESULTS Age ranged between 35 and 85 years; 18 were women. Mean GCS was 10.4 and CNS was 3.9. Thirty-one patients had type A hematomas and 22 type B. The hematoma was small in 5, medium in 35 and large in 13 patients. Ventricular extension was present in 34 patients. Motor evoked potentials were unrecordable in 36 and central motor conduction time was prolonged in 8 patients. Median SEP was unrecordable in 37 and N9-N20 conduction time was prolonged in 2 patients. At 3 months, 8 patients had died, 24 had good and 21 had poor outcome. On univariate logistic regression analysis diabetes mellitus, GCS, pupillary asymmetry, CNS score, type and size of hematoma and motor and somatosensory evoked potentials were significant in relation to outcome. On multivariate logistic regression analysis, the best predictors of outcome at 3 months were the type of hematoma and CNS score. CONCLUSION CNS score and CT appearance of hematoma are the best predictors of 3 month outcome following thalamic hemorrhage. The proposed model for outcome assessment is simple and easy to apply and could have wide clinical application.

Abstract
The plasminogen activator/plasmin system is believed to play an important role in diverse pathophysiological processes, including wound healing, vascular remodeling and pulmonary fibrosis. Our recent studies show that plasmin upregulates the expression of Cyr61, a growth factor-like gene that has been implicated in cell proliferation and migration. In the present study, we investigated whether plasmin promotes fibroblast proliferation and, if so, determine the role of Cyr61 in the plasmin-induced response. Human lung fibroblasts were exposed to varying concentrations of plasmin and DNA synthesis was monitored by measuring the incorporation of 3H-thymidine into DNA. Plasmin increased DNA synthesis of fibroblasts in a dose-dependent manner. Protease-activated receptor-1 (PAR-1)-specific antibodies, but not PAR-2-specific antibodies, reduced the plasmin-induced DNA synthesis. Consistent with this, plasmin had no substantial effect on the DNA synthesis in PAR-1-deficient mouse fibroblasts. Plasmin activated both p38 and p44/42 MAPKs and specific inhibitors of these pathways inhibited the plasmin-induced DNA synthesis. Plasmin-induced increase in the DNA synthesis was completely abrogated by anti-Cyr61 antibodies. Interestingly, thrombin, which is a potent inducer of Cyr61, had only a minimal effect on fibroblast proliferation. Additional experiments suggested that plasmin cleaved cell/extracellular matrix-associated Cyr61 and the conditioned media from plasmin-treated cells could support the cell proliferation. Overall, these data suggest that plasmin promotes fibroblast proliferation by a novel pathway, involving two independent steps. In the first step, plasmin induces Cyr61 expression via activation of PAR-1, and in the second step, plasmin releases Cyr61 deposited in the extracellular matrix, thus making it accessible to act on cells.

Abstract
The metabolic consequences of HIV and AIDS are accentuated in the setting of highly active antiretroviral therapy. Peripheral lipodystrophy, central adiposity, hyperlipidaemia, insulin resistance and diabetes mellitus are frequent associations of protease inhibitor containing highly active antiretroviral therapy regimens. Ninety patients aged 25-50 years (males 52, females 38), seropositive for HIV 1 and 2 or both were selected to see the glycaemic profiles in asymptomatic early HIV disease with CD4 counts > 100/microl and to compare this with the glycaemic profile of (a) advanced HIV disease (CD4 counts < 200/microl), not on highly active antiretroviral therapy and (b) advanced HIV disease (CD4 counts < 200/microl), on uninterrupted non-protease inhibitor highly active antiretroviral therapy > 6 months. All the patients were grouped into 3: (1) Group A: CD4 counts > 500/microl (n=37), highly active antiretroviral therapy naive, (2) group B: CD4 counts < 200/microl (n=21), not on highly active antiretroviral therapy, and (3) group C: CD4 counts < 200/microl, receiving uninterrupted non-protease inhibitor based highly active antiretroviral therapy for > 6 months (n=32). The fasting blood glucose, glycosylated Hb (HbA1c) levels, were measured in all the patients in 3 groups and significance of difference between means was calculated among various groups. Body weight and waist-hip ratio were also measured. The results were analysed and compared with other studies.

Abstract
Laparoscopic tubal ligation is associated with an appreciably high rate of postoperative nausea and vomiting. This study was designed to compare the effectiveness of ondansetron, dexamethasone, ondansetron plus dexamethasone or placebo in the prevention of postoperative nausea and vomiting in patients after laparoscopic tubal ligation. In a prospective, randomised, double blind placebo controlled trial, 160 ASA I-II females received one of four regimens; ondansetron 4 mg, dexamethasone 8 mg, ondansetron 4 mg plus dexamethasone 8 mg or placebo (n=40 each) intravenously immediately before induction of anaesthesia. Patients were then observed for 24 hours postoperatively. The incidence of emetic episodes in the ondansetron with dexamethasone group was lower than in the placebo (p<0.001) and ondansetron (p=0.091) and dexamethasone (p=0.143) groups. A complete response (as no postoperative nausea and vomiting) was achieved in 60% of patients given ondansetron, 63% of the patients given dexamethasone, 78% of patients given ondansetron with dexamethasone and 37% of patients received placebo. The prophylactic use of ondansetron with dexamethasone is more effective in preventing postoperative nausea and vomiting.

Abstract
The fresh water fish Anabas cobojius (Hamilton-Buchanan 1822), was found to be parasitised by Aplanes braunii de Bary 1888. It is the first and only report of any Aplanes de Bary to cause disease on any fish. A. braunii was found to be a virulent parasite of A. cobojius causing cotton-wool disease involving the skin and fins. The hyphae also penetrated into the tissues of the infected fish and all of them ultimately died.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Gastrointestinal (GI) haemorrhage is an important and sometimes serious complication in critically ill neurological patients who suffered from stroke and head injury and those in intensive care. There is no study evaluating frequency, severity and risk factors of GI haemorrhage in patients with primary intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH). AIMS To evaluate the frequency, severity and predictors of GI haemorrhage in patients with ICH. METHODS In a prospective hospital-based study, consecutive CT-proven ICH patients within 10 days of the ictus were included. The patients with history of peptic ulcer, GI haemorrhage, liver and kidney disease, bleeding diathesis and those on antiplatelet, anticoagulant or nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDS) were excluded. A detailed neurological evaluation was carried out. Glasgow coma scale (GCS) was used for assessment of consciousness level and Canadian neurological scale (CNS) for severity of stroke. The haematomas were classified into small (<20 ml), medium (20-40 ml) and large (>40 ml). The occurrence of GI haemorrhage during 14 days of ictus was considered due to ICH. To evaluate the predictors of GI haemorrhage, various clinical and CT scan findings were evaluated by univariate followed by multivariate logistic regression analysis. RESULTS Fifty-one patients with ICH were included whose age ranged between 30 and 80 years and 14 were female. The mean GCS score was 8.9 (3-15) and CNS score was 2.2 (2-4). Haematoma was small (<20 ml) in 11 patients and medium (20-40 ml) and large (>40 ml) in 20 patients each. Evidences of septicemia were present in 20 patients. Gastric haemorrhage (GH) was noted in 15 patients which was more than 40 ml in 4 patients and one of these patients needed blood transfusion. On univariate analysis, the size of haematoma, septicemia, motor signs on the nonhemiplegic side and pupillary asymmetry were significantly related to GI haemorrhage. On multivariate analysis, the best set of predictors of gastric haemorrhage included size of haematoma, septicemia and GCS score. CONCLUSION GI haemorrhage is more likely present in patients with larger haematoma having septicemia. Our study highlights the importance of septicemia, which is an important and modifiable risk factor for GI bleeding in ICH patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic renal failure patients on hemodialysis are at an increased risk of acquiring hepatitis B infection. Hence vaccination against hepatitis B assumes great importance in these patients. However, the response to hepatitis B vaccination is poor, even when 4 double doses (40 microg) of the vaccine are given. This study was conducted to determine the efficacy of GM-CSF as an adjuvant to hepatitis B vaccine in CRF patients. METHODS CRF patients including both hemodialysis (HD) and non-dialysis (ND) patients were randomized to receive either placebo or a single injection of GM-CSF (in varying doses of 50 microg, 100 microg, 150 microg) a day prior to the 1st dose of recombinant hepatitis B vaccine (40 microg). Three more doses of the vaccine were given at 1, 2, and 6 months. The anti-HBs antibody titres were measured by ELISA at 3 and 7 months. Patients having antibody titres less than 10 IU/L were considered non-responders. The response rate and mean antibody titers were compared between the control (I) and GM-CSF (II) groups. RESULTS In group I, 31 and 27 patients were available for evaluation at 3 and 7 months respectively. In group II, 33 and 28 patients could be evaluated at the same time points. Within the control group (group I), the response rate in hemodialysis patients (63.6%) was lower as compared to non-dialysis patients (81.2%). The response rate in group II was higher than that in group I at both 3 months as well as 7 months (78.1% vs. 62.3% and 89.3% vs. 74.1%, p = ns). The best response rates in group II were observed when GM-CSF was used in a dose of 150 microg (90.9% at 3 months and 100% at 7 months). The mean antibody titers were also found to be higher in the group II as compared to group I (409.6 vs. 243.9 IU/L, p = 0.01). CONCLUSION The results of this randomized, prospective study suggest that: 1. Patients with chronic renal failure should be vaccinated for hepatitis B as chronic renal insufficiency is established. 2. GM-CSF is an effective adjuvant to hepatitis B vaccine in these patients especially when a priming dose of 150 microg is used prior to 1st dose of hepatitis B vaccination.

Abstract
BACKGROUND: Several humoral immune factors are responsible for a successful pregnancy. There are a few studies, which demonstrate the role of antipaternal cytotoxic antibodies (APCA) and mixed lymphocyte reaction blocking factor (MLR-Bf) in the maintenance of pregnancy. However, these factors have not been studied in women with history of recurrent spontaneous abortion (RSA). We designed this study to review the role of APCA and MLR-Bf in normal pregnancy as well as in women with a history of RSA. METHODS: One hundred and five women with unexplained recurrent spontaneous abortion were included in the present study. These women were screened for all other known causes of recurrent abortion. We also included 60 normal fertile women, fifteen from each trimester and fifteen women during the post partum period (up to six months). RSA and controls (normal pregnancy) were matched for age, caste, and socio economic background and also for parity. APCA and MLR-Bf were evaluated in all the groups. All women with RSA who conceived during the study period were on follow up. RESULTS: We have analyzed the status of APCA and MLR-Bf in normal pregnancy (different gestational periods and during post partum), and in women with history of RSA. Our results show that APCA was significantly higher in controls as compared to RSA women. MLR-Bf was directed against the husbands' cells in normal pregnancy and was virtually absent in RSA women. CONCLUSION: Our results indicate that there is a significantly low titer of APCA and MLR-Bf in women with recurrent spontaneous abortion. This highlights the role of these factors in the maintenance of successful pregnancy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Obstruction of the suprahepatic inferior vena cava (IVC) by a membrane or stricture is the commonest cause of Budd-Chiari syndrome in the eastern hemisphere. We present our experience with the outcome of balloon cavoplasty in such cases. METHODS We followed up 40 consecutive cases of Budd-Chiari syndrome over seven years. Doppler study of hepatic venous outflow tract (in all cases), liver biopsy (30 cases) and necropsy (two cases) were performed. Balloon cavoplasty was done in selected cases. RESULTS Of 40 patients with BCS (mean age 35.2 [SD 8.7] years; 26 men) 5, 5 and 30 had fulminant, acute and chronic presentation, respectively. Inferior vena cavography was performed in 32 cases, and showed membranous obstruction of the IVC in 12, segmental occlusion of the IVC in 11 cases, and block in both the IVC and the main hepatic veins in the rest. Successful balloon cavoplasty was done in 18 cases with obstruction of the IVC (membrane or stricture); 15 of them are well over a mean follow up of 56 (14.6) months. Three patients developed restenosis; two of them, treated with redilatation, are doing well, and one died of septicemia and hepatic failure following a surgical bypass. Pressure gradient between the IVC and right atrium decreased significantly after cavoplasty (15.4 [2.8] vs 6.6 [2.0] mmHg; p< 0.001). CONCLUSION Balloon cavoplasty gave encouraging results in the management of Budd-Chiari syndrome due to membranous obstruction or stricture of the IVC.

Abstract
The main pollutants for the ship scrapping industry and its associated wastes at Alang are heavy metals, petroleum hydrocarbon and bacterial contaminations. The concentration of iron, manganese, cobalt, copper, zinc, lead, cadmium, nickel and mercury were 25 to 15,500% more at nearshore station of Alang as compared to control site at Piram. The concentration of heavy metals in the nearshore station of Alang was always higher than its concentration at 10 km away. The concentration of petroleum hydrocarbon was 16,973 and 53,900% more at the nearshore and 10 km away respectively at Alang as compared to controls. The concentration of chlorophyll-a and phaeophytin were in non-detectable range (< 0.2 and < 0.1 mg m3) or much lower concentration at both the stations of Alang as compared to controls. The total viable count, total coliform, Escherichia coli, Vibrio cholerae, Vibrio parahaemolyticus and other Vibrio, Streptococcus faecalis, Shigella, Salmonella, Proteus, and Klebsiella were always higher (17%-605%) at the nearshore station of Alang as compared to control. Similar trend was observed at 10 km away from Alang. Bacteria in sediment also showed the same pattern of variation. Phytoplankton counts at the nearshore station and 10 km away from Alang were only slightly raised. In contrast to phytoplankton, the zooplankton showed considerable reduction of growth (-10 to -66%) at Alang.
