Benign Fibrous Histiocytoma

Fibrous histiocytomas (FHs) are mesenchymal tumors that may be benign or malignant. Ocular involvement by FHs is infrequent and primarily limited to the orbit. Rarely, FHs can also involve the conjunctiva and perilimbal area. We report the case of a 38-year-old male with lid, conjunctival, and neck FHs. The diagnosis was confirmed by histopathology

Not AvailableIndian jujube (Zizyphus mauritiana Lamk), an indigenous fruit crop of India has been widely used in traditional medicine for treating various kinds of diseases. Chinese jujube has been studied; however systematic study on Indian jujube is lacking. In this work, 12 commercial cultivars of Z. mauritiana were evaluated for their ascorbic acid (AA), total phenolics (TPH), flavonoids (TF), and total antioxidant activity (AOX). Results indicate that Indian jujube is a good source of ascorbic acid and total phenolics ranging from 19.54 to 99.49 mg/100 g and 172 to 328.6 mg GAE/100 g, respectively. Total AOX ranged from 7.41 to 13.93 and 8.01 to 15.13 μmol Trolox/g in FRAP and CUPRAC, respectively. Principal component analysis was performed to find a linear combination of the functional attributes which would account for most of the variance in the observed attributes. GGE biplots revealed that ZG-3, Elaichi and Gola, are promising genotypes in terms of total phenolics and flavonoids.Not Availabl

Crumbs, Criss Cross across Cornea-Avellino Dystrophy (A Rare Mixed Stromal Entity)

Male patient aged 50 years presented with redness, pain and watering in right eye since 8 days. Examination revealed that right eye corneal transparency was lost in central and temporal half of cornea due to multiple small and white dot without any clear space in between and with presence of network of lines called lattice in stroma. Transparency was present in peripheral cornea. Surface was irregular with presence of foreign particle (hair). Foreign body removal was done. On follow-up, due to poor compliance, we observed fungal ulcer for which therapeutic keratoplasty was done which lead to graft rejection after few months

Not AvailableTen commercial and three exotic/wild cultivars (cvs) grown under Indian conditions were analyzed for variations in lycopene, b-carotene, total phenolics, quercetin, ascorbic acid and antioxidant activity (AOX). AOX was measured using three in vitro assays namely ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP), 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and Trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity (TEAC) assays. The lycopene content in tomato cvs ranged from 4.31 to 5.97 mg/100 g fw. The wild/exotic cvs had exceptionally high total phenolic content (141.98 mg/100 g fw), quercetin (56 mg/g fw) and total AOX (5.39 mmol TE/g fw). Solanum pimpinellifolium, with nearly six times lycopene content than commercial cvs, may serve as the most desirable gene pool in breeding programmes to develop functional tomatoes. Results suggest that TEAC may be more useful than DPPH assay for detecting total AOX in tomatoes.Not Availabl
