The continuous use of synthetic hormones as contraceptive pill or hormonal replacement therapy among women is increasing day by day. The widespread use of different formulations as oral contraceptives by women throughout their reproductive cycle has given rise to a serious concern for studying the effects of oral contraceptives on enzymatic profile and DNA damage in peripheral blood lymphocytes among users. The present study was carried out on women taking oral contraceptives. The study was based on the questionnaire having the information of reproductive history, fasting, age, health, nature of menstrual cycle, bleeding and other disease. The profile of the blood serum enzymes i.e. alkaline phosphatase (ALP), gamma glutamyl transferase (GGT), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), aminotransferases (SGOT and SGPT), serum proteins (albumin and globulin) and DNA damage in lymphocytes was studied among users and non-users. The results of the present study suggest that OCs not only effects enzymatic activity but also results in DNA damage that may vary with the duration of using oral contraceptives. A significant increase in LDH, GGT, SGPT, SGOT, globulin and decrease in ALP as well as albumin was found among users as compared to non-users. The observed DNA damage was more in users as compared to non-users. Hormonal contraceptives seem to exert DNA damage and also have significant effects on blood serum enzymes. 相似文献

We change gears in this second part of the article and discuss one of the oldest problems in probability theory, viz. the
simple random walk. The recurrence and transience of the random walk in different dimensions is later derived using the material
from the first part. 相似文献

Keratinophilic fungi are an ecologically important group of fungi that cycle one of the most abundant and highly stable animal
proteins on earth —keratin. This article briefly explains how to isolate and identify them, the process of keratin degradation, and the ecological role
of this important but unnoticed group of minute keratin cycling machines present in soil. We believe that Indian soil contains
many more such fungi which have not been isolated and we hope this article will create interest among students to isolate
and study these interesting fungi. 相似文献

Open defecation persists as a global health problem despite efforts to build and implement better toilets. Based on nine focus group meetings held across two communities in rural Uttar Pradesh, India, this study shows that open defecation is a symbolic practice contributing to social and cultural identity formation. Major themes were derived regarding the positives and negatives of open defecation and latrine use. Open defecation was considered as a means for social communication, particularly for girls and women, and not necessarily as a healthier practice. Issues of politics and class relations emerged, with lower caste people expressing the lack of or poor quality toilets. Yet the persistence of historical and cultural identity played a part in people’s preference to go out to the field to defecate, especially for women to sustain their social connectedness and men to sustain their masculine identity. These cultural and communication aspects of open defecation should be considered in ongoing sanitation movements. 相似文献

Repeated blood transfusion in beta thalassemia major patients may lead to peroxidative tissue injury by secondary iron overload.
In the present study, 72 children with beta thalassemia major were included. Serum levels of total lipid peroxides, Iron,
Total Iron Binding Capacity, Copper, Zinc, Vitamin E, plasma Total Antioxidant Capacity, activity of Erythrocyte Superoxide
Dismutase, were measured. The findings were compared with 72 age matched healthy controls irrespective of sex. A significant
increase in the levels of lipid peroxide and Iron (p<0.001), whereas, significant decrease in the levels of vitamin-E, Total
Antioxidant Capacity and Total Iron Binding Capacity (p<0.001) was observed. Serum Zinc was significantly increased (p<0.001)
with significant decrease in the levels of copper (p<0.001). Non Significant increase in the activity of Erythrocyte Superoxide
Dismutase (p>0.05) was found in the patients when compared with controls. This suggest that oxidative stress and reduced antioxidant
defense mechanism play an important role in pathogenesis of beta thalassemia major. 相似文献

The phrases ‘transient growth’ and ‘non-normality’ have become common parlance in fluid mechanics nowadays. We present these
ideas with a simple two-dimensional system, to enable the reader to look for transient growth, as a trigger for nonlinear
behaviour to set in, in a variety of situations probably having nothing to do with fluid mechanics. The article is aimed at
undergraduate students of science, engineering, finance, etc., and the material is based completely on the excellent books
of Trefethen and Embree, and Schmid and Henningson [1,2]. 相似文献

Mobile payment technology continues to spread across the globe, but its diffusion has not been uniform. Its low usage in developing economies is of particular concern to policymakers since this technology has the potential to enable financial inclusion. In this study, in order to develop policy interventions for greater usage, we comparatively analyze factors impacting actual usage and future use intention. India, with its uneven trajectory of mobile payments, gives us an appropriate field to investigate citizens’ usage behaviour. Considering users’ perceptions of both positive and negative attributes of the technology, we develop research models under the umbrella of the valence framework. We utilize technology affordances and constraints theory (TACT) to refine the research models through an understanding of various innovative uses. To test the valence-TACT models, we collect survey responses of 551 citizens across four Indian cities. The results from the models show how certain factors, such as convenience, reflection, and security, have different impacts on actual usage and future use intention, respectively. These findings have implications for critical issues like security, risk, and digital literacy, and can help in the design of policy recommendations for enhancing the use of mobile payments, thereby impacting financial inclusion for all. The valence-TACT model provides a theoretical contribution to mobile payment and innovation literature and also offers several policy insights. 相似文献

In the earlier part of this article, an introduction to musical scales, counterpoint and harmony was given. In this part these
themes are developed further with reference to Bach’s music and the emergence of the equally tempered scale. 相似文献

Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) plays an important role in the development of Breast Cancer. The aim of this study was to investigate the association of polymorphisms in the VEGF gene on prognosis of Breast Cancer patients. This study comprised 200 patients with histologically confirmed cases of Breast cancer and 200 controls. Genotyping of the VEGF gene polymorphisms at +405G>C,−1154G>A, were performed by PCR-RFLP analysis. Preoperative plasma VEGF levels were determined by ELISA. Amongst both cases and controls, the genotypic distribution of the individual SNPs were all in Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium. Mean VEGF level was significantly elevated in cases compared to controls (t = 8.248; P < 0.001). No significant association was found between +405G>C,−1154G>A VEGF polymorphism and Breast Cancer. Logistic regression analysis revealed that 405GG & 1154GG were associated with higher levels of VEGF. 相似文献
