Serum lipid profiles in patients of myocardial infarction in the Chandigarh area (Northern India).

To study the incidence of hyperlipoproteinaemia in patients with myocardial infarction (MI) in the Chandigarh area, estimations of various lipids have been carried out in 83 patients. A serial study has been carried out in 31 patients. Serum lipoproteins and uric acid were also estimated. Results show an incidence of only 18% hypercholesterolaemia in patients with MI and 15% in normal subjects. Age-wise distribution of hypercholesterolaemia was slightly higher in 41-60 years old patients when compared with other age groups. No other abnormality in lipid profile was observed. Hyperuricaemia was not observed. These results, therefore, differ markedly from those of similar studies published from the western world.

Satisfactory radioiodination of rabbit fibrinogen using chloramine-T.

A method for radioiodination of fibrinogen using chloramine-T is described. Samples of greater than 90 per cent clottable counts were obtained. Electrophoretic mobility and immunodiffusion showed that the entire radioactivity was present in the fibrinogen band. In vivo studies on the turnover of this labeled product in rabbits showed a half-life of 52.8 to 61.7 hours in two batches of animals. The results compare very well with the reported results obtained from fibrinogen labeled with radioactive iodine by the iodine-monochloride method. The advantages of the new method are indicated.

Unusual problems in renal hypertension.

Ten cases of renal hypertension with uncommon causes were presented and unusual problems in their diagnosis and surgical management were discussed. These causes included segmental stenosis involving aberrant renal artery, renal artery stenosis in association with renal arteriovenous fistula, postoperative renal hypertension and hypertension secondary to renal tuberculosis. A high index of clinical suspicion and increasing awareness will help in diagnosing such rare and unusual cases of renal hypertension.
