Alkaptonuria, a metabolic disorder characterized by a triad of homogentisic aciduria, arthritis and ochronosis is one of the
first conditions in the charter of group of inborn errors of metabolism proposed to have Mendelian recessive inheritance.
It is due to the deficiency of the enzyme homogentisic acid oxidase which catalyzes the conversion of homogentisic acid to
maleylacetoacetic acid in the catabolism of tyrosine. Homogentisic acid thus accumulates in cells and body fluids and its
oxidized polymers bind to collagen, leading to progressive deposition of grey to bluish black pigment resulting in degenerative
changes in cartilage, intervertebral disc and other connective tissues, leading to arthritis which is the only disabling effect
in an affected older individual. However the diagnosis can be made in neonates when blackish stain is noticed in an unwashed
diaper. Alkaptonuria is treated symptomatically, surgical intervention necessitates in advanced stages, treatment with ascorbic
acid (Vitamin C) and dietary restrictions of food containing phenylalanine and tyrosine have proved to be successful in alleviating
the symptoms. 相似文献

Serum adenosine deaminase (ADA), 5′ nucleotidase (5′NT) and malondialdehyde (MDA) were estimated in patients with acute infective
hepatitis (AIH) along with the routine parameters of liver disease. Present study is done to evaluate these special parameters
in patients with clinical history of AIH and to assess the utility of these parameters as diagnostic/ prognostic indices of
liver function and to correlate special parameters with routine live function tests (LFT). ADA, 5′NT and MDA along with routine
LFT was estimated in 25 patients with AIH and 25 samples from healthy voluntary blood donars served as the control group.
Routine LFT was estimated by standard clinical chemistry procedures on dade behring analyser and ADA, 5′NT and MDA were estimated
by berthlot reaction, fiske and subbarao method and thiobarbituric acid method respectively.
Statistical analysis showed that serum ADA, 5′NT and MDA were significantly higher in patients as compared with the controls.
There was a significant positive correlation between ADA and total bilirubin and MDA and total bilirubin. Hence we can conclude
that these tests would be more sensitive to diagnose the patients with AIH and that the raised bilirubin levels could be looked
upon, as a protective mechanism which the liver has evolved in order to combat oxidative stress. 相似文献

Unstable angina is a critical condition of heart resulting from narrowing of vessels supplying blood to heart. Ischemia of
the myocardium leads to oxidative stress and severe tissue damage. The objective of the present study was to determine the
effect of l-arginine administration on the oxidant–antioxidant homeostasis which otherwise gets imbalanced in patients with cardiovascular
diseases. The results obtained, show improvement in the oxidant–antioxidant levels of the subjects upon incorporation of l-arginine. Our findings suggest that supplementation of l-arginine along with regular anti-anginal therapy may be beneficial to the patients of unstable angina. 相似文献

Pancreatic fibrosis is a key pathological feature in the etiology of chronic pancreatitis that leads to obliteration of exocrine
and endocrine pancreatic tissues and its replacement by fibrous tissue resulting in clinical manifestations. Matrix metalloproteinase
9 is a member of the MMP family that is also known as gelatinase B, degrades type IV collagen of extracellular matrix and
basal membrane. The present study is aimed at evaluating the clinical significance of plasma concentration of MMP-9 in chronic
pancreatitis. The samples were obtained from 112 chronic pancreatitis patients and an equal number of age and sex matched
healthy controls. MMP-9 levels were quantitatively measured by ELISA assay. Statistical analysis was applied to test the significance
of results. The present study revealed a significant increase of plasma MMP 9 levels in chronic pancreatitis patients compared
to control subjects. Elevated levels were also observed in all the patient groups compared to control subjects with regard
to sex, age, addictions etc. MMP-9 degrades the type IV collagens in normal basement membrane, which in turn activates the
pancreatic stellate cells which promote the development of pancreatitic fibrosis. Thus, elevated plasma levels of MMP-9 may
act as a susceptibility factor for the development of chronic pancreatitis. 相似文献

In a culture where high premium is placed on marriage, a divorced mother faces many challenges. Striving for shelter and economic security is harder due to lack of social acceptance, support and inadequate services. For a counsellor the social realities are as important as the psychological ones.This article is based on the observations and experiences of the author who has been a marriage counsellor at the first Family Court in India. 相似文献

INTRODUCTION The physics of plastic deformation and crack propagation at atomic level is complex but is essential for the development of new materials. This requires an understanding of the atomic level phenomena associated with the plastic deformation. In this con- text, emission of electromagnetic radiation (EMR) during plastic deformation and crack propagation in metals and alloys, and generation of transient mag- netic fields during crack initiation in ferromagnetic materials are rep… 相似文献

Sadhan Basu was an inspiring teacher and scientist and among the best that our university system has produced. He carried out important and thoughtful research work in the fields of polymers, spectroscopy and quantum chemistry that bear the signature of a highly creative mind. And all these he did with so little resources at his disposal. No wonder that his memory still inspires awe and respect among many of his immensely successful students and colleagues. 相似文献

Cystic Fibrosis Trans membrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene is an asthma susceptibility gene. In the present study we investigated the possible association of CFTR gene mutations in Indian asthmatic children as compared to controls. The study included 250 asthmatics and 250 age and sex matched controls. Case to control ratio for sample size was 1:1. Genotyping was performed for 24 CFTR gene mutations by ARMS-PCR and PCR–RFLP method. Among 24 CFTR gene mutations, heterozygous allele of R553X mutation was found in 4 (1.6 %) asthmatic cases and 2 (0.8 %) controls. Value of FVC and FEV1/FVC ratio were significantly lower in heterozygous individuals (p value <0.05). No significant difference was observed in the genotype and allele frequency of R553X mutation (OR = 1.339, 95 % CI = 0.755–2.374, p value = 0.685). Furthermore, all wild type homozygous alleles were observed in remaining 23 CFTR gene mutations. Our data concludes that R553X mutation was not significantly associated in Indian asthmatic children. 相似文献
