Serum lipoproteins in lepromatous leprosy.

Serum total cholesterol and the lipoprotein fractions were studied in forty subjects of lepromatous leprosy and age matched controls. The study revealed a significant decrease in serum cholesterol in the disease group as compared to control group. The decrease in cholesterol was 28.76% An alteration in serum lipoprotein fractions was observed in disease group. The beta-lipoprotein fraction showed a significant decrease along with a rise in alpha-lipoprotein fraction. A positive correlation was also observed between total cholesterol and beta-lipoproteins. The significance of the above findings are discussed.

Electrophoretic pattern of proteins in lepromatous leprosy.

Serum total proteins and the various protein fractions were studied in fifty cases of lepromatous leprosy and in eleven cases of lepromatous leprosy with lepra reaction. The study revealed a significant increase in serum total proteins in both lepromatous leprosy and lepra reaction groups, when compared with normal healthy subjects. The percentage rise was found to be 14.5% and 22.95% for lepromatous leprosy and lepra reaction respectively. The globulin fraction showed a significant elevation, while albumin showed a decrease. Thus a reversal of A/G ratio was observed in both the disease groups. Alpha-1 and Alpha-2 globulins were found to be significantly increased in both the disease groups. Beta globulins did not reveal any significant alteration. It was interesting to note the presence of an additional globulin fraction in seventeen patients of lepromatous leprosy and two cases of lepra reaction. Gammaglobulin showed a significant rise in lepromatous leprosy (56.16%) and in lepra reaction (60.72%). The significance of the above findings are discussed in the light of available literature.

Pulmonary function tests in school children.

Pulmonary Function tests were measured in 261 healthy boys and 254 healthy girls in the age group of 6 to 15 years with standard Benidects Roth type recording spirometer and Wrights Peak Flow Meter. The values of Pulmonary Functions were found to be increased with increase in age. For vital capacity this relation was curvilinear. All values were higher in boys than girls. There was significant positive correlation between pulmonary Function Tests Vital Capacity, (VC), Maximum Voluntary Ventilation (MV), peak Expiratory Flow Rate (PEFR) and anthropometric parameters like height, weight and body surface area. Equations were formed for prediction of V.C., M.V.V. and PEFR values in relation to the height. The values of Pulmonary Functions were lower when compared with Western Standards, but were comparable with different Indian Studies.

Oral epithelial alkaline phosphatase in various phases of menstrual cycle.

We report here on the changes in the Alkaline Phosphatase staining reaction in oral mucosa of women in various phases of menstrual cycle. It appears that the highest reaction for alkaline phosphatase is shown just after ovulation (about 15th-16th day of cycle). It is possible to judge the period of ovulation by taking daily smears and staining them for Alkaline phosphatase.

Influence of age on motor nerve conduction.

Motor nerve conduction velocity (MNCV) has been determined in seventy five normal healthy male subjects in different age groups in Right ulnar and median nerves respectively. It is observed that MNCV decreases in the older age group. Further it is seen that MNCV is less in the distal than in the proximal segment, the results being significant in the median nerve.

Effect of onion and garlic on blood coagulation and fibrinolysis in vitro.

The effects of aqueous extracts of onion and garlic as well as of garlic oil were studied on the process of blood coagulation and fibrinolysis in vitro. Only onion was found to exhibit anti-coagulant and fibrinolytic activity while garlic extract as well as garlic oil were inactive.
