Orientation of Giemsa C-bands in interphase cells of Allium cepa L.

Orientation of Giemsa C-bands in Allium cepa was studied in both mitotic and interphase cells. It has been shown that telophase orientation of the chromosome is maintained throughout the interphase and early phophase. It has been assumed that this non-random orientation is due to anchorage of the telomeres with the nuclear membrane. Contrary to earlier observations, 2 by 2 pairing of the telomers could not be traced to this species.

The Tamang: a case of hybridization.

The Tamang, a Mongoloid and hybrid population of the eastern part of the cis-Himalayan region of West Bengal, have been studied for an estimation of the Tibetan and Nepalese components. The degree of admixture of the two parental stocks is found to be about 59 and 41%, respectively. The deviation between the observed and expected gene frequencies of the hybrid is insignificant.

Clinical trial with rifampicin in the treatment of leprosy (final report).

A controlled trial of Rifampicin plus Dapsone had been in progress for two years in the Department of Leprology, School of Tropical Medicine, Calcutta. Interim results of this trial after six months treatment were reported in 1976. The present paper is the final report of the study after two years of treatment. The study reveals that with Rifampicin, MI falls rapidly after six months, but changes in BI are not better than in the DDS group. As a matter of fact, regarding BI, treatment with DDS has given better results as two cases have become negative in the DDS group while no case has become negative in the Rifampicin group. It is, therefore, concluded that clinical improvement with Rifampicin is similar to that with DDS.
