Influence of light on serum cholesterol levels in complete (by birth) blind people

Background: With blindness normal stimulation of the hypothalamic pituitary axis is reduced. The serum cholesterol is frequently increased the upper limit of normal it is unclear whether the effect is due to complete absence of light, HPA axis function reduction or diurnal variation of melatonin levels.Methods: A self-administered questionnaire ascertained lifestyle characteristics, including alcohol consumption, cigarette smoking, diabetes mellitus and dietary habits. Inclusion criteria: 50 complete blindness persons (by birth), healthy adults, Age group between 30-50 years. Exclusion area: age 50, alcoholic, liver diseases, kidney diseases, diabetes mellitus, thyroid diseases.Results: A total No of 100 cases were studied by dividing them into two groups controls 50 and cases 50. The results so obtain were compared with 50 healthy controls (excluded consumed alcoholic, liver diseases, kidney diseases, diabetes mellitus, thyroid diseases.). Statistical evaluation was carried out to confirm any deviation from the normal values. The mean serum cholesterol of Cases (298.28±26.82) is having higher level as compared to the mean value of controls (153.38±11.79). This increase is statistically highly significant (<0.0001).Conclusions: It has been shown from this study with blindness normal stimulation of the HPA is reduced consequently the serum cholesterol is frequently increased the concentration may exceed the upper limit of normal. On this basis we observed increases the upper limit of the cholesterol levels in blind healthy people than subjects with normal healthy light perception

Estimation of serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase, serum glutamic-pyruvic transaminase, gamma-glutamyl transferase and cholesterol levels in prolonged (30 years) daily consumption coffee in people

Background: Although prolonged (30years) coffee consumption has been associated with reduced or increased frequency of liver (SGOT, SGPT, GGT) enzymes and cholesterol levels, it is unclear whether the effect is from coffee or caffeine.Methods: A self-administered questionnaire ascertained lifestyle characteristics, including alcohol consumption, cigarette smoking, Diabetes mellitus and Dietary habits. As for drinking habit, examinees were first asked about their current drinking frequency (none, 1-2 times/ week, or almost daily) past or current smokers about the number of cigarettes smoked per day and the duration of smoking in years. As regards coffee, examinees were asked their usual daily intake in cups.Results: A total No of 200 cases were studied by dividing them into two group’s controls and cases. The results so obtain were compared with 50 healthy controls (not to consumed caffeine contained things that include nor coffee, tea, any type of cola’s). Statistical evaluation was carried out to confirm any deviation from the normal values. In men the mean serum SGOT, SGPT, GGT and cholesterol of cases is having higher level as compared to the mean value of controls. This increase is statistically highly significant (SGOT<0.0001, SGPT=0.045, GGT=0.0043, cholesterol<0.0001). In women’s the mean serum SGOT, SGPT, GGT and cholesterol of Cases is having higher level as compared to the mean value of Controls. This increase is statistically significant (SGOT< 0.05, SGPT=0.0319, GGT <0.0001, cholesterol: <0.0001).Conclusion: It has been shown from this study that prolonged daily consumption of coffee in many people it results increasing of levels of serum concentrations of the SGOT, SGPT, GGT and Cholesterol. It is observed that liver enzymes and cholesterol could be a target for caffeine or other components of coffee.

Need for Diabetic Screening an a Periodontal Setup

INTRODUCTION: Periodontitis has been proved to be linked deeply with the chronic ailment diabetes. Research data shows that their relationship is direct and bifacial. The prevalence of both these diseases is on the rise but still there is a scarcity of diabetic screening in periodontal set-ups.AIM: To lay emphasis on the need of diabetic screening in a periodontal set-upMATERIAL AND METHODS: An observational, cross-sectional study with an initial sample size of 200 patients was conducted. Periodontitis was evaluated with the CPI index and RBS was measured using a blood glucometer.RESULTS: Significant difference in the periodontitis patients who were aware and unaware of their diabetic status.CONCLUSION: Screening for diabetes in a periodontal clinic is conducive to the creation of awareness and early detection and treatment of such a chronic disease and can help avoid the setting in of related complications by giving the patient a chance to initiate an early intervention

Management of Foliar Diseases of Forage Sorghum

Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench.) is an important food, feed, fodder and fuel crop grown in India. It forms staple food for poor class of people living in the dry tracts of the country. The crop is mostly grown during Kharif and Rabi seasons in Maharashtra, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh states. It is also very popular as green forage in most parts of north India and nearly 2.5 million ha area is planted during kharif. In summer, under irrigated conditions, multicut sorghum is very popular. Forage sorghum is characterized by quick growth, high biomass accumulation, dry matter content and wide adaptability beside drought withstanding ability. It is also suitable for silage and hay making. The losses caused by diseases were estimated to be 12% (Frederiksen, 1986). With the change in climate, cropping pattern and with the introduction of high yielding varieties and hybrids of sorghum for cultivation, the disease scenario has also changed. Forage sorghum is suffered by charcoal rot, downy mildew, foliar diseases like zonate leaf spot, anthracnose and leaf blight. The disease is serious both in grain as well as fodder sorghum as it reduces yield and quality of fodder considerably. Disease resistance, cultural, biological and fungicides have been utilized to manage sorghum diseases (Frederiksen, 2000). The present study was undertaken to find out suitable management practice for foliar diseases of forage sorghum

Quantitative assessment of atmospheric elements and their interaction with transplanted lichen Pyxine cocoes (Sw.) Nyl

A common foliose lichen Pyxine cocoes (Sw.) Nyl. was transplanted at 12 different sites of Dehradun City. The thalli of P. cocoes have been exposed for three months to monitor the accumulation of Cd, Cr, Cu, Fe, Hg, Mn, Ni, Pb and Zn along with C and N and their impact on photosynthetic pigments (Chl a, Chl b, Total Chl) were also estimated. The results showed that thalli transplanted close to the city centre (0 km) exhibit early stress as revealed by decreasing photosynthetic pigments as compared to the control site. The qualitative and quantitative results of elements showed negative correlations with distance from the city centre. Among the metals analysed, Fe (3396.71µg g-1 DW) at Haridwar road followed by Zn (279.52µg g-1 DW) at Rajpur road found in maximum concentration. Similarly, the maximum carbon (C) concentration (52.05%) was observed at Haridwar road whereas the nitrogen (N) concentration (1.73%) was observed maximum at Rajpur road. The lichen P. cocoes possess good accumulation capacity for most of the atmospheric elements. It is well evident from this study that selected lichen species could be used to detect low to higher atmospheric elemental emissions from vehicular activity in the ambient air and the biomonitoring procedure could be further standardized and used as part of an environmental monitoring programme

Fungal Succession in Composite Soil on Staled Agar Disc at different Staling Periods

In the present study, the fungal colony interaction of composite soil was assessed under in vitro condition in virgin and staled agar discs after different staling periods i.e. 24, 48, 72, 96 and 120 hours by using Warcup method to examine the tolerance potential of soil mycoflora present in the composite soil against the growth substances produced by the precolonized fungal colonies. It was observed that fungal growth pattern was different in each agar disc plate. It was also noticed that there was a successive decrease in the number of fungi colonizing on the reverse side of the staled agar discs. Only the most resistant microfungi i.e., Aspergillus flavus, A. niger, A. luchuensis, Aspergillus sulphureus, Penicillium citrinum, Penicillium chrysogenum and Trichoderma viride were able to persist on staled agar disc after 96 and 120 hours of long staling periods
