Distribution of abo blood group, rhesus factor and haemoglobin genotype in Maiduguri Metropolis, North-eastern Nigeria

To establish the frequency distribution of ABO, Rhesus (Rh) blood groups and haemoglobin genotype in Maiduguri metropolis. Methods: A total of four hundred and seventy subjects consisting of males and females were enrolled into the study. The subjects enrolled were university students and patients coming to the haematology department of the university of Maiduguri teaching hospital they were randomly selected and their ABO blood groups, Rhesus D antigen and genotype were determined. Results: The distribution of the blood groups antigen evaluated by our study are as follows; Blood group O were found to be231 (49.1%), blood group B categorized as 104 (22.1%),blood group A91 (19.3%), and blood group AB had the least 46 (9.3%).The Rhesus (Rh D) factor positivity was 399 (85%), and that (Rh D) negativity were71 (15%). The haemoglobin genotype were expressed as HbAA, AS, SS, AC and SC and the study revealed frequencies of AA, 297 (63.2%), AS, 122 (26%), SS,32 (6.8%),AC 12 (2.5%) and SC 07 (1.4%). Conclusion: This study showed that blood group O is predominant than the other blood groups and that blood group AB had the least. Rhesus (D) positivity was 85% as compared to Rhesus (D) negativity of 15%. The haemoglobin genotype showed HbAA had the highest occurrence, while SC had the least

Effect of ingestion of ethanol extract of garcinia kola seed on erythrocytes in wistar rats

The objective of this study is to investigate the effect of ingestion of crude ethanol extract of Garcinia Kola seed on erythrocytes. Fifty male Wistar rats with average weight of 200g were divided into 5 treatment groups of 10 rats per group. Group A, served as the control and was fed with standard animal feed only while groups B, C, D and E which were the treatment groups, in addition were force-fed 2g/kg/rat/day of the Ethanol extract of Garcinia Kola seed for 1,2,3 and 4 weeks respectively by means of an endogastric tube and syringe. At the end of the experimental period for each group the animals were sacrificed and the erythrocyte number, park cell volume (PCV), and heamogloin concentration values were determined. The result on analysis showed that erythrocyte-count, PCV and haemoglobin concentration values showed significantly decreased values (p0.05) when compared with Group A. None of the values fell below the normal physiological range of the experimental animals. This shows that Garcinia Kola seed which has flavonoids as its active constituent has no long term significant toxicological implication with respect to the concentration given on the erythrocytes of mammals. Keywords: garcinia kola, erythrocytes, wistar rats, flavonoid Nigerian Journal of Physiological Sciences Vol. 20(1&2) 2005: 30-3

A negatively charged region of the skeletal muscle ryanodine receptor is involved in Ca2+-dependent regulation of the Ca2+ release channel

AbstractThe ryanodine receptor/Ca2+ release channels from skeletal (RyR1) and cardiac (RyR2) muscle cells exhibit different inactivation profiles by cytosolic Ca2+. D3 is one of the divergent regions between RyR1 (amino acids (aa) 1872–1923) and RyR2 (aa 1852–1890) and may contain putative binding site(s) for Ca2+-dependent inactivation of RyR. To test this possibility, we have deleted the D3 region from RyR1 (ΔD3-RyR1), residues 1038–3355 from RyR2 (Δ(1038–3355)-RyR2) and inserted the skeletal D3 into Δ(1038–3355)-RyR2 to generate sD3-RyR2. The channels formed by ΔD3-RyR1 and Δ(1038–3355)-RyR2 are resistant to inactivation by mM [Ca2+], whereas the chimeric sD3-RyR2 channel exhibits significant inactivation at mM [Ca2+]. The ΔD3-RyR1 channel retains its sensitivity to activation by caffeine, but is resistant to inactivation by Mg2+. The data suggest that the skeletal D3 region is involved in the Ca2+-dependent regulation of the RyR1 channel

Megalomania is a heart disease that can cause a person to fall into evil and impossibility. Megalomania can cause a person to feel less subject to laws and rules, and feel that they can do whatever they want regardless of the negative consequences that may be faced. To overcome megalomania, Ibn Qayyim suggested that one should improve their attitudes and views towards oneself and others. A person must be able to accept their shortcomings and weaknesses, and not feel too satisfied with himself. In addition, a person must also be able to understand and appreciate the existence of others, and not feel superior to others. Thus, one can avoid falling into megalomania and become a better person. With this, in the future, we can apply the concept of Ibn Qayyim's therapy so that in the future psychiatric problems can be overcome by religion
