Pituitary gonadotropin content and gonadosomatic index in Clarias batrachus a fresh water teleost.

The pituitary gonadotropin content in Clarias batrachus was determined by radiophosphorus assay in chicks. The levels in spawning male, post spawning male, spawning female and post spawning female were found to be 65.66, 27.7, 36.69 and 49.98 micrograms LH activity/kg body weight respectively. The gonadosomatic index (GSI) in the above groups was found to be 0.3599, 0.0763, 9.2327 and 0.4334 respectively. Correlation between the gonadotropins and GSI was also worked out but was found to be statistically non-significant (P > 0.05).

A clinico-pathological study of laryngeal lesions in 30 cases of leprosy.

The histological findings in laryngeal biopsies and local clinical findings in thirty cases of leprosy have been reported in detail. It is emphasised that in areas where there is significant incidence of leprosy, laryngeal involvement may be expected even in the absence of local clinical manifestations and be got confirmed by histological examination and demonstration of acid-fast bacilli. Further, histological appearance may not be very characteristic at the outset. The observations made by previous authors have been reviewed and discussed.

A histopathological study of lymphnodes in 43 cases of leprosy.

Eighty cases of leprosy including 60 cases of lepromatous type and 20 cases of tuberculoid type, during the period of 1974-75, have been examined for evidence of lymphnode enlargement. Of the 52 cases of enlarged lymphnodes, lymphnode biopsy was done in 43 cases including 38 cases of lepromatous type and 5 cases of tuberculoid type. The lymphnodes have been studied for evidence of any pathological changes and presence of acid-fast bacilli. In cases of lepromatous leprosy, lepromas and acid-fast facilli were seen in 92.2 per cent of the cases and patchy fibrosis was noted in 23.6 per cent of the cases. No amyloid could be demonstrated. In cases of tuberculoid leprosy, only non-specific reticular hyperplasia was noted. No specific granuloma or acid-fast bacilli could be demonstrated. The findings have been described in detail and discussed in the light of previous published data.
