abstract = {Background: Sepsis, a complex condition characterized by dysregulated immune response and organ dysfunction, is a leading cause of mortality in ICU patients. Current diagnostic and prognostic approaches primarily rely on non-specific biomarkers and illness severity scores, despite early endothelial activation being a key feature of sepsis. This study aimed to evaluate the levels of soluble thrombomodulin and soluble endoglin in seriously ill surgical septic patients and explore their association with organ dysfunction and disease severity.

Methodology: A case control study was conducted from March 2022 to November 2022, involving seriously ill septic surgical patients. Baseline clinical and laboratory data were collected within 24 h of admission to the Surgical Intensive Care Unit. This included information such as age, sex, hemodynamic parameters, blood chemistry, SOFA score, qSOFA score, and APACHE-II score. A proforma was filled out to record these details. The outcome of each patient was noted at the time of discharge.

Results: The study found significantly elevated levels of soluble thrombomodulin and soluble endoglin in seriously ill surgical septic patients. The RTqPCR analysis revealed a positive correlation between soluble thrombomodulin and soluble endoglin levels with the qSOFA score, as well as, there was a positive association between RTqPCR soluble thrombomodulin and the SOFA score. These findings indicate a correlation between these biomarkers and organ dysfunction and disease severity.

Conclusion: The study concludes that elevated levels of soluble thrombomodulin and soluble endoglin can serve as endothelial biomarkers for early diagnosis and prognostication in seriously ill surgical septic patients.},

abstract = {Background: Blended learning is the combination of online and face-to-face learning experience. In the recent years it has grown rapidly to be commonly used in education. Nonetheless, the effectiveness of this learning approach has not been completely quantitatively synthesized and evaluated in health education. Through this study we aimed to identify its strengths, weaknesses, from both student’ and lecturers’ viewpoint so that this innovative teaching and learning methods can help improve the students skills in critical thinking and academic achievement in medical education. Objective: The aim of the study was to assess the efficacy of blended learning compared to face-to-face learning. The objectives were to evaluate the perceptions of students on

blended learning, to evaluate the perceptions of faculty on blended learning and to evaluate the interdependencies of face to face and online learning in the blended learning course. Methods: The study design and sampling method was prospective interventional study, cluster sampling. The study included 150

students of phase 1 MBBS of 2021-2022 batch and faculty of biochemistry. The students were sensitized to the blended learning module-acid base balance. Consent of the students was taken and importance of research in

medical education was explained. The questionnaire used was adapted from the questionnaire in Sagarra and Zapata’s (2008) study. The questionnaire has two parts; one for the students and the other for the faculty. The one for the students has two sections; the first section contains 16 questions which students answered on a 5 point Likert scale. The second section includes one short answer question. The second part has 6 questions for the faculty which were also answered on a 5 point Likert scale. Results: This evaluation showed that blended learning model helped students improve the critical thinking and retaining power because traditional time/place barriers were removed. However, new barriers related to technology by both students and teachers

were noted. Conclusions: This study demonstrated different factors that affected the intention to use blended learning in undergraduate medical students and it has also highlighted that the blended way of study was more

helpful rather than purely face to face or online learning. },

Irregular menstrual cycles, prolonged anovulation and hyperandrogenism are all symptoms of the disease. Hyperinsulinemia, insulin resistance, gestational diabetes, type 2 diabetes, dyslipidemia and cardiovascular disease may develop over time. Aim:To compare the lipid profile and vitamin D levels in women with and without PCOS in relation to obesity and to determine the Luteinizing hormone[LH], FollicleStimulating Hormone[FSH], prolactin[prl] levels in women with PCOS in relation to obesity.Method: A total of 152 subjects were taken for the study.76 PCOS patients were identified ultrasonographically and clinically from November 2015 to July 2017, and 76 normal menstruatingwomen served as controls in the study conducted at Deccan Medical College and Princess EsraHospital, Hyderabad. All the subjects were categorized as obese or lean based on their BMI.Results: In comparison to obese participants without PCOS, PCOS obese subjects had higher TG and TC levels and lower HDL levels, according to the study. When compared to lean subjects without PCOS, PCOS lean subjects had higher TG, TC, and LDL values. The HDL levels of PCOS lean patients were observed to be lower than those of lean subjects without PCOS. Vitamin D levels were also shown to be considerably lower in PCOS patients (both obese and non-obese) than in healthy controls.Conclusion: Supplementary retrospective data-based revisions and randomized meticulous tests with recurrent Vitamin D estimations are required to determine whether Vitamin D deficiency is a co-determinant of hormonal and metabolic irregularities in PCOS, a byproduct of hormonal and metabolic un-evenness in PCOS, or both.},

abstract = {Introduction: Rheumatoid arthritis is the most common chronic, progressive systemic inflammatory arthritis of unknown cause. It affects approximately 1-2% of the population worldwide. It is a form of autoimmune disease principally synovial tissues. As the pathophysiology involves affecting cell mediated immune response, adenosine deaminase may have a role in rheumatoid arthritis. As it involves bones and joints, it is likely that it alters the levels of Serum Calcium, Phosphorus and Magnesium as well as Alkaline Phosphatase which may be helpful in diagnosis or management of the disease.

Aims & Objectives: 1. To evaluate the role of serum adenosine deaminase (ADA) as a marker of cell mediated immunity in Rheumatoid Arthritis. 2. To estimate serum alkaline phosphatase, calcium, phosphorus and magnesium as prognostic markers of Rheumatoid arthritis

Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional, case control study with convenient sampling was undertaken after Institutional Ethical Clearance & informed consent. 30 patients of Rheumatoid Arthritis presenting to the orthopaedic outpatient department of Owaisi Hospital and Research Centre, Hyderabad were taken as cases along with an equal number of age and sex matched controls from January 2021 to June 2021.

ADA levels were estimated by colorimetric assay on ErbaChem 7 semiautoanalyser. Serum Alkaline phosphatase, Calcium, Phosphorus and Magnesium were estimated on Cobas C311 autoanalyzer.

Results: There was a significant increase in levels of Adenosine Deaminase, Alkaline Phosphatase and Serum Phosphorus, while the levels of Calcium and Magnesium were significantly reduced in rheumatoid arthritis

Conclusion: ADA as a marker of cell mediated immunity reflects monocyte / macrophage activity and was increased in our study suggesting immunological and inflammatory process in the pathogenesis of Rheumatoid Arthritis (R.A). It can be used as a non invasive marker of chronic inflammation and may provide additional information about disease prognosis.

Increased levels of Alkaline Phosphatase and Phosphorus associated with low Calcium and Magnesium suggest increased bone resorption in R. A and are useful as markers of disease activity.},

abstract = {Despite increasing burden of autoimmune thyroid disease (AITD) in India, there is paucity of data for the genetic susceptibility in Indian population which represents an important aspect to uncover the genetic factors for the cause or progression of different forms of AITD. It is known that production of auto-antibodies to thyroglobulin (TG) and thyroid peroxidase (TPO) is a characteristic feature of AITD. Production of high titres of auto-antibodies against TG and TPO is one the hallmarks of AITD that often precedes the development of clinical disease. The gene coding for cytotoxic T lymphocyte antigen-4 (CTLA-4) is considered an important candidate gene for susceptibility to AITD and also determines seropositivity. Earlier studies have demonstrated that polymorphic variants in CTLA-4 gene are linked to determine seropositivity. Hence, this study investigates a relationship between CTLA-4 (+49A/G) genotypes and seropositivity to anti-TPO and anti-TG antibodies in AITD patients. A total of 85 Indian participants were included and genotyped for CTLA-4 (+49A/G) single nucleotide polymorphism and further analyzed for seropositivity of TPO and TG auto-antibodies in mean age group of 35.76 ± 12.42 years of both the genders. The TPO seropositivity was reported higher in G allele containing genotypes GG and AG (66.66% and 58%, respectively) compared to AA (44.8%) genotype. Whereas, TG auto-antibodies showed highest seropositivity for genotype AA (55.17%) compared to AG (36%) and GG (16.6%). Higher median titre values were observed for TPO antibodies with GG genotype (1587.461 U/mL). In contrast to this, higher titres of auto-antibodies to TG were observed for individuals with AA genotype (520.746 U/mL). In conclusion, this study demonstrates a relationship between CTLA4 (+49A/G) genotype and seropositivity to thyroid auto antigens TPO and TG in Indian patients with clinical manifestation of Hashimoto's thyroiditis and Graves' disease, two different forms of AITD.},

Current therapeutic approaches including enterocystoplasty have several limitations. Hence, biofabrication of cell-laden biological allografts using decellularized Goat urinary bladder scaffolds for organ reconstruction/regeneration was major objective of this study. Materials and methods: An efficient method for decellularization of Goat urinary bladder (N = 3) was developed by perfusion of gradient change of detergents through ureter. The retention of organ architecture, extracellular matrix composition, mechanical properties and removal of cellular components was characterized using histological, cellular and molecular analysis. Further, mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) from human umbilical cord blood (UCB) were used for preparing biological construct of decellularized urinary bladder (DUB) scaffolds to augment the urinary bladder reconstruction/regeneration. Results: The decellularization method adopted in this study generated completely DUB scaffolds within 10 h at 100 mm Hg pressure and constant flow rate of 1 mL/min. The DUB scaffold retains organ architecture, ECM composition, and mechanical strength. No significant amount of residual nucleic acid was observed post-decellularization. Furthermore, MSCs derived from human UCB engrafted and proliferated well on DUB scaffolds in highly aligned manner under xeno-free condition. Conclusion: Biofabricated humanized urinary bladder constructs provides xeno-free allografts for future application in augmenting urinary bladder reconstruction/regeneration with further development.},

abstract = {Meningitis is an active inflammatory condition of CNS. However prompt and precise aetiological diagnosis remains a challenge. Often a thorough CSF examination may not give a precise diagnosis. There is considerable urgency in establishing correct diagnosis in patients with tuberculous meningitis because specific therapy is most effective when initiated early in course of illness, delay may cause irreversible brain damage. Diagnosis often rests on circumstantial evidence such as history, typical CSF findings and other evidence for presence of tuberculosis such as acid fast bacilli in sputum, positive tuberculosis test and suspicious Chest x-ray. Under present study the role of enzymes such as adenosine deaminase and lactate dehydrogenase has been evaluated in diagnosis of tuberculous meningitis. Result of the study suggest that adenosine deaminase level in CSF and serum may be a useful parameter along with other routine estimations. The enzyme activity is high in disease such as tuberculosis where cellular mediated immunity is stimulated. Estimation of lactate dehydrogenase levels may not be a specific parameter for tuberculous meningitis this requires further studies in patients of meningitis with different aetiological diagnosis.},

nephropathy. Diabetic nephropathy is characterised by abnormal renal function with reduction of glomerular filtration and rise in the level of Serum Urea and Creatinine. The study was conducted at Princess Esra Hospital, Deccan College of Medical Sciences. Patients with Dm in the age group 35 Yrs – 55 Yrs and controls also of the same age group Glycosylated Haemoglobin (Hb A1C) was done to categorise patients into two groups. Patients with good glycemic control having HbA1c<6-7%, Studies have demonstrated that the complications of diabetes can be delayed or prevented if HbA1c can be kept between 6-7%. The other group of patients were having poor glycemic control with HbA1c above 8%. The following parameters were included in the study FBS, PLBS, HbA1cm Urea and Creatinine. These parameters were estimated in normal (controls) and diabetics (with good glycemic control) and diabetics (with poor glycemic control). It was found that the blood sugar, blood urea and serum creatinine levels were significantly higher in diabetic patients with poor glycemic control compared to diabetic patients with good glycemic control. Strong relationship of blood urea and serum creatinine levels was found with blood sugar and HbA1c levels. Blood urea, serum creatinine blood sugar along with HbA1c would be helpful to monitor the diabetes patients to assess renal function.},

abstract = {Hypertension (HTN) is an asymptomatic easily detectable chronic cardiovascular disorder which can cause coronary heart diseases, stroke and other complications. The relationship between trace elements and cardiovascular diseases is under investigation and showed conflicting results.In this study levels of magnesium, copper, zinc, iron in hypertensives were estimated and compared with normal healthy controls. A case control study was undertaken over a period of 6 months included 100 individuals aged between 25-65 years. 50 cases were hypertensive patients free from diabetes mellitus, thyroid disorders, any other chronic diseases, while 50 normal healthy subjects were controls. In both the groups, systolic and diastolic blood pressures, serum magnesium, copper, zinc and iron levels were obtained. The systolic and diastolic blood pressure, serum copper, zinc was significantly high (p value <0.05) and magnesium, iron levels were significantly low in hypertensives. Excess free radicals, increased stress has been implicated in the etio-pathogenesis of hypertension. Copper and iron increase the levels of free radicals acting as a pro-oxidant leading to increased peripheral vascular resistance and hypertension. Increased zinc can be due to intracellular increase in renal zinc favoring the activity of carbonic anhydrase and causing an effect opposite to that of some diuretics. Elevated zinc leads to high sympathetic nervous activity. Decreased magnesium potentiates vasoconstriction and increase vascular tone leading to hypertension. We conclude that there exists a relationship between serum magnesium, copper, zinc, iron and hypertension but, further large-scale population studies should be undertaken to establish the role of various trace elements in hypertension.},

abstract = {The measurement of glycated hemoglobin, 24 hours urinary protein and protein creatinine ratio serves as an important index in the monitoring of diabetes patients to prevent the complications. Screening patients for Retinopathy is again very important. The cause of diabetic complication is not known. Major emphasis has been placed on the polyol pathway where in glucose is reduced to sorbitol by the enzyme aldolase reductase with reduced NADPH as the electron donating coenzyme. Sorbitol molecule is oxidized to fructose by the enzyme Sorbitol dehydrogenase and reduced NAD+ . Sorbitol appears to function as a tissue toxin and has been implicated in the pathogenicity of retinopathy, neuropathy and cataract. Among the clinically important secondary microvascular complications of diabetes, kidney as the target organ represents a health problem of enormous social cost. Nephropathy like other diabetic complications is probably influenced by genetic factors. 35% of NIDDM patients develop nephropathy. Diabetic nephropathy is duration dependent and extends over many years before becoming clinically evident. Persistent proteinuria appears to predict evidence of kidney damage. Proteinuria is the most widely accepted sign of diabetic nephropathy. Spot protein, creatinine ratio would be more accurate and less time consuming. Diabetic nephropathy is leading cause of morbidity and premature mortality in diabetes subjects. Diabetic nephropathy has an insidious onset with increase in glycated hemoglobin before the appearance of microalbuminuria.},

They not only have an effect on blood pressure control, but also seem to have a role in regulating arterial compliance. This study was done to find out whether there are any changes in central arterial parameters during different phases of menstrual cycle. Thirty female  subjects  in the  age  group  of  18-22  years  with  normal,  regular menstrual  cycles  participated in this prospective observational study at our teaching hospital. Anthropometric parameters were recorded.  Blood pressure in all 4 limbs was recorded using cardiovascular risk analyzer-Periscope™ on Day 3rd to 5th (follicular phase), Day 12th to 14th (ovulation phase), Day 22nd to 24th (luteal phase) of their menstrual cycle. We collected blood samples during these three phases for estimation of estradiol and progesterone by ELISA technique. Analysis of variance and correlation statistics were done using SPSS 17.0 statistical software. No significant statistical changes were observed in systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, mean arterial pressure, pulse pressure, aortic systolic pressure, aortic diastolic pressure, aortic augmentation pressure, aortic index and pulse wave velocity during the three recorded phases of the menstrual cycle. There are many studies which correlate changes in peripheral artery blood pressure with different phases of menstrual cycle. But there is scarcity in data available which correlates central arterial pressures and arterial stiffness with natural hormonal variations in different phases of menstrual cycle. However, our results show that although there are subtle changes in blood pressure parameters along with estrogen and progesterone levels throughout the menstrual cycle, yet these were not statistically significant.},

abstract = {An important enzyme in modulating plasma HDL levels is cholesterol acyl transferase (LCAT) which is responsible for the formation of most of the cholesterol esters (CE) present in human plasma. This enzyme catalyses the transfer of fatty acid from the Sn-2 position of the lecithin to the free hydroxyl group of cholesterol. It utilizes linoleate for the esterification of cholesterol in preference to the other fatty acids. Thus the enrichment of the linoleate content of plasma lecithin which accompanies ingestion of a poly unsaturated fat diet leads to an increase in the proportion of cholesterol linoleate in plasma. The physiological substrate for LCAT is probably nascent HDL. The enzyme activity is dependent on apoA-1 and in inhibited by apoA-2. Thus the maturing HDL particles contain mainly esterified cholesterol which having been rendered non diffusible are trapped in the HDL and then are transferred to the liver to undergo catabolism. Present studies have been carried out on diabetic patients with good glycaemic control and diabetics with poor glycaemic control and compared with normal control group. HDL cholesterol levels in diabetic patients with good and poor glycaemic control were significantly lower than the normal control group. LCAT in diabetic patients with good and poor glycaemic control were significantly lower than the normal control group. However HDL cholesterol level and LCAT activity in diabetic patients with poor glycaemic control was still lower this supports the observation that coronary artery disease (CAD) is 2-4 times higher in diabetes than non diabetes.},

abstract = {Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disorder characterized by insulin resistance [affecting carbohydrate, lipid and protein metabolism]. Glycation of proteins, including hemoglobin and albumin have been implicated in complications of diabetes. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the association between variations in the levels of albumin and total proteins with glycated hemoglobin [HbA1c]. Present study involved 408 participants who visited Owaisi Hospital and Research Center, Hyderabad from November 2015 to June 2017. 204 were freshly detected diabetic patients and 204, age and sex matched healthy controls. Fasting blood glucose levels, HbA1c, plasma total proteins and plasma albumin were estimated. The objective was to analyze the association between total proteins, albumin and HbA1c in newly diagnosed cases of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. HbA1c levels increased (p<0.001) from 4.90 ± 0.53 in controls to 9.02 ± 2.06 in cases, plasma albumin levels were decreased (P<0.50) from 3.85 ± 0.68 in controls to 3.19 ± 1.07 in cases and plasma total protein levels were increased from 6.8±0.81 in controls to 7.31±0.93 [p< 0.0013*] in cases. Globulin levels increased (P<0.50) from 1. 68 ± 0.29 in controls to 1.74 ± 0.57 in cases. A/G ratio levels decreased (P<1.20) from 2.31 ± 0.43 in controls to 1.84± 0.36 in cases. Glycation accelerates albumin degradation via increasing catabolic rate and decreasing protein half-life, and competes with other proteins for glycation. Our study showed a negative correlation between HbA1c and serum albumin. Freshly detected diabetic patients were associated with increased total proteins and decreased A/G ratio. We observed in our study that albumin levels may be associated inversely with HbA1c values. Our results may lead us to study the ways in which glucose and proteins may interact in a newer approach and could aid in understanding hyperglycemia and its estimation.},

Objectives: To estimate serum levels of HbA1c, 24- hour urinary protein concentration and urinary protein: creatinine ratio in Type 2 diabetics with and without nephropathy. To assess correlation between protein: creatinine ratio, 24-hour urinary protein and HbA1c levels in these groups. Materials and Methods: Cross sectional study was conducted in the department of Biochemistry, Owaisi Hospital, from October 2016 to May 2017 on 103 diabetes patients comprising of 41 diabetics without nephropathy (Group A) and 62 Type 2 diabetes subjects with nephropathy (Group B). The following parameters were estimated: Fasting blood glucose, Serum creatinine, HbA1c, Urinary protein and creatinine. Results: Results show that the mean values of fasting blood glucose, serum creatinine, HbA1c, 24-hour urinary protein and protein to creatinine ratio are significantly increased in Group B when compared to Group A and these parameters are further increased in diabetic subjects with P: C ratio ≥ 0.2 than those with <0.2 Result: 24-hour urinary protein and protein: creatinine ratio levels are significantly increased (p< 0.001) with proteinuria more than the physiological range (P: C ratio 0.2) than within physiological range (P: C < 0.2).24- hour urinary protein and P:C ratio also correlated positively with high significance.HbA1c levels correlated positively with both P:C ratio and 24-hour urinary protein levels. Conclusion: This study suggests estimating HbA1c as an indicator of glycemic control .P:C ratio is convenient method for early diagnosis and intervention for diabetic nephropathy.},

The aim of our study is to know the occurrence of proteinuria in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and to note its associations with the duration of diabetes since diagnosis and also the various macrovascular and microvascular complications of diabetes mellitus. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This study was undertaken in Princess Esra Hospital/DCMS - Hyderabad. A total of one hundred randomly selected diabetic patients satisfying the inclusion criteria were selected for the study. All patients were evaluated in detail along with the testing for proteinuria with dipsticks (Micral). RESULTS: The overall occurrence of proteinuria was 38%. The occurrence of proteinuria showed a direct relationship with increasing age (p=0.053) and increasing duration of diabetes since diagnosis. An HbA1c value above 7% is associated with 50% or higher incidence of proteinuria (p=0.018). Patients with a body mass index of more than 25 kg/m2 have significant increase in the incidence of proteinuria (p=0.027). The incidence of proteinuria is significantly associated with the presence of retinopathy (p=0.073), peripheral neuropathy (p=0.009), ischaemic heart disease (p=0.011) and hypertension (p=0.001). Proteinuria is inversely associated with HDL (p=0.089). CONCLUSION: The occurrence of proteinuria in type 2 diabetic patients of Hyderabad was quite high. During the evaluation of diabetic patients, the possibility of proteinuria and its correlation with various complications of diabetes mellitus should be kept in mind.},

The study included patients with TPE (n＝175), MPE (n＝112), benign non-tuberculous pleural effusion (n＝81), and pleural effusion of unknown etiology (n＝17). Although the protien concentration, DHL and ADA activity in pleural fluid can help in the diagnosis of TPE and MPE patients. Fluid with higher protein (p < 0.001) levels predominated in effusions from the tuberculosis group (5.3 + 0.8 g/dL) when compared to the CA group (4.2 ± 1.0 g/dL), whereas DHL levels were more elevated in CA (1,177 ± 675 x 1,030 ± 788 IU; p = 0.003) than in TB. As expected, ADA activity was higher in the TB group (107.6 ± 44.2 X 30.6 ± 57.5 U/L; p < 0.001). Our results demonstrate that in lymphocytic pleural exudate obtained from patients with clinical and radiological evidence of tuberculosis, protein concentration, DHL and ADA were the parameters that better characterize these effusions. In the same way, when the clinical suspicion is malignancy, serous- hemorrhagic lymphocytic fluid should be submitted to oncotic cytology once this easy and inexpensive exam reaches a high diagnostic performance ( 80%). In this context, we suggest thoracocentesis with fluid biochemical and cytological examination as the first diagnostic approach for these patients.},

Aim: The present study aimed at determining the seroprevalence of IgM antibodies to hepatitis A and E virus in clinically diagnosed acute viral hepatitis cases. And to determine its usefulness against the disease prevention. Study Design: A cross sectional study was carried out on symptomatic patients referred from paediatric and gastro enterology department of Princess Esra hospital. Place and Duration of Study: Around one hundred and eight subjects were analyzed for anti IgM antibodies to hepatitis A and E virus and liver function test in the department of laboratory medicine for Microbiology and biochemistry at Princess Esra Hospital, Deccan College of Medical Sciences between January 2013 and January 2014. Methodology: Blood samples were collected under strict aseptic precautions and tested for anti-HAV and Anti-HEV IgM antibodies using capture elisa from diasorin. Biochemical analysis included estimation of serum aminotransferases, alkaline phosphatase and bilirubin levels. Results: An overall seropositivity of 54% was observed in the present study. More number of the subjects as 46.29% tested positive for anti HAV IgM than for anti HEV IgM as 7.4%. Co-infections were not noticed. Acute viral hepatitis due to hepatitis A virus is more common in children in the age group 6-10 years followed by 11-15 years and lastly 0-5 years indicating the epidemiological shift. Infection with hepatitis E virus was common in adolescent and adults. Males were more susceptible to both the infections than females. Liver function test results correlated well with viral markers indicating damage to the liver parenchyma. The socioeconomic status of the individuals revealed that 95% of the subjects were below poverty line and didn’t have access to proper drinking water and sanitary facilities. None were vaccinated against Hepatitis A virus. Conclusion: The present data suggest that we need to have a dual pronged approach against prevention of acute viral hepatitis caused by A and E virus. Government authorities should prioritize on bringing a uniform improvement in the living standards of the society and make vaccine available to the high risk group at a subsidized rate.},

Age and sex are two non-modifiable risk factors for developing cardiovascular disturbances which may affect the levels of apolipoprotein B and apolipoprotein A-I. The objective is to study serum apo B and A-I levels in association with the conventional lipid profile parameters in atherogenic dyslipidemia. In this hospital-based prospective study, clinically normal males (n=172) and females (n=188), aged between 20-39 years, divided into two age groups: group-I (20-29 years) and group-II (30-39 years), subjected to overnight fasting had their lipid profile parameters (enzymatic colorimetric assay) along with the serum levels of apoB and apoA-I (immunoturbidimetry method) estimated. Subjects with body mass index (BMI) >30 were excluded from the study. Data was statistically analysed using Chi-square test and ROC curves. ApoB levels showed continuous increase with age in both sexes with males having significantly raised (p<0.01) levels in both groups compared to females. ApoA-I levels declined with increasing age in both sexes and this decline was relatively earlier in males. Within each group females were having relatively raised (p<0.05) apoA-I levels than males. Moderate to strong correlations were observed between serum apoA-I and HDL-C concentrations (p<0.0001) and between serum apoB and LDL-C concentrations (p<0.0001), respectively. ApoB may be a more sensitive measure of atherogenic dyslipidemia than LDL-C and a better index for assessing cardiovascular risk, whereas apoA-I did not add significantly to the estimation of future atherosclerotic vascular risk.},

Aim: The purpose of the current study was to evaluate the utility of ratios of few biochemical parameters between serum and ascetic fluid, whether these ratios are more reliable than the actual parameters in diagnosis and prognosis of these patients.

Study design: Cross-sectional study.

Place and duration of study: Owaisi Hospital and Research Centre, Hyderabad, India from July 2012 to December 2013.

Methodology: Biochemical analysis of serum and ascetic fluid focussed on assessing liver function was done. A total of 350 cirrhotic patients of both genders were screened for ascites and 50 among them fulfilling inclusion and exclusion criteria were enrolled for this study. They were assessed for 34 demographic and laboratory parameters including liver function tests, renal function tests and serum electrolytes. We made an attempt to know whether ratio of some of the biochemical parameters in ascitic fluid-to-serum (AF/S) can be more reliable indicators and better prognostic markers in liver cirrhosis with ascites.

Results and Conclusion: In this endeavour, the AF/S ratios of total proteins, albumin, ADA, LDH, GGT and α-amylase did not showed a clear advantage over the existing biochemical analysis in vogue.},

Serum Malondialdehyde (MDA) level was used as a marker of oxidative stress and serum catalase activity was quantitated for an assessment of anti-oxidant status of the patients. Mean MDA levels in poor glycemic control group of T1 and T2DM were significantly higher (p<0.01) not only than the means of the healthy controls but also than the means of diabeteic groups with good glycemic control (p<0.01). Mean serum catalase activity was significantly reduced in DM patients of all the groups compared to that of healthy controls (p<0.05) indicating considerable reduction in the anti-oxidant status of the patients. },

abstract = {The study on measurement of glycated haemoglobin levels serves as an important index in the diagnosis of diabetes and also monitoring of diabetes patients to prevent the complications. The cause of diabetic complication is not known. Major emphasis has been placed on the polyol pathway where in glucose is reduced to sorbitol by the enzyme aldose reductase with reduced NADPH as the electron donating coenzyme. Sorbitol molecule is oxidised to fructose by the enzyme sorbitol dehydrogenase and reduced NAD+. Sorbitol appears to function as a tissue toxin and has been implicated in pathogenesis of retinopathy, neuropathy, cataract and aortic diseases. A second mechanism of potential pathogenetic importance is glycation of proteins. Glycation is non enzymatic addition of hexoses to proteins and glycosylation is enzymatic addition. This chemical reaction is the linkage between a reducing sugar and a receptive amino acid. It was first described in relation to food proteins (Millard, 1913). It has been shown that the difference in ionic charge between HBA1c and ordinary adult haemoglobin was due to addition of a glucose molecule to the amino terminal valine of the beta chain via an aldimine linkage which then underwent an Amadori rearrangement to form a more stable and virtually irreversible ketamine product (Bookchin, 1968; Bunn, 1975). The logical culmination of these findings was the hypothesis that in diabetes the level of glycosylated haemoglobin HBA1c or HBA1 would be proportional to the time averaged blood glucose level in the previous 7-8weeks, a period approximating to the half life of the average red blood cells. Normal glucose produces a normal amount of glycated haemoglobin. In diabetes mellitus higher amount of glycated haemoglobin indicates poorer control of blood glucose level. Fasting plasma glucose and glycated haemoglobin was estimated and based on the results the subjects were classified into three groups. Group I: Normal control non diabetic subjects; Group II: DM with good glycaemic control; Group III: DM with poor glycaemic control; Group II and group III patients were evaluated for complications by including lipid profile, tests for protein in urine and fundus examination. It was found that one or more complications were more predominant in Group III than in group II subjects. },

abstract = {An important enzyme in modulating plasma HDL levels is lecithin cholesterol acyl transferase (LCAT) which is responsible for the formation of most of the cholesterol esters (CE) present in human plasma. This enzyme catalyses the transfer of fatty acid from the Sn-2 position of the lecithin to the free hydroxyl group of cholesterol. It utilizes linoleate for the esterification of cholesterol in preference to the other fatty acids. Thus the enrichment of the linoleate content of plasma lecithin which accompanies ingestion of a poly unsaturated fat diet leads to an increase in the proportion of cholesterol linoleate in plasma. The physiological substrate for LCAT is probably nascent HDL. The enzyme activity is dependent on apoA-1 and is inhibited by apoA-2. Thus the maturing HDL particles contain mainly esterified cholesterol which having been rendered non diffusible are trapped in the HDL and then are transferred to the liver to undergo catabolism. Present studies have been carried out on diabetic patients with good glycaemic control and diabetics with poor glycaemic control and compared with normal control group. HDL cholesterol levels in diabetic patients with good and poor glycaemic control were significantly lower than the normal control group. LCAT in diabetic patients with good and poor glycaemic control were significantly lower than the normal control group. However HDL cholesterol level and LCAT activity in diabetic patients with poor glycaemic control was still lower this supports the observation that coronary artery disease (CAD) is 2-4 times higher in diabetes than in non diabetes.},

The activity of GAD decreases significantly in the preconvulsive phase in all the three regions of brain followed by a significant increase during the convulsive and post convulsive phase in cerebral cortex and cerebellum. The activity of GABA-T decreases maximal during the preconvulsive phase followed by convulsive phase. The activity of this enzyme tended to increase to control values when the postconvulsive phase was reached.
