IMPACT OF HEAVY METAL, CHROMIUM ON GLYCOGEN CONTENTS IN GILL, LIVER AND KIDNEY OF FRESHWATER FISH, Channa striatus (BLOCH)

Posted on by

Abstract
Fish is generally appreciated as one of the healthiest and cheapest source of protein and it has amino acid compositions that are higher in cysteine than most other sources of protein. Heavy metals are natural trace components of the aquatic environment but their levels have increased due to industrial wastes, geochemical structure, agricultural and mining activities. All these sources of pollution affect the physiochemical characteristics of the water, sediment and biological components and subsequently affect the quality and quantity of fish stocks. The chromium is present in the tannery effluent and is known to cause various ill effects. Such health hazards are dependent on the oxidation state of chromium. Its hexavalent form is more toxic than the trivalent form. The aim of the present study was to assess the glycogen contents in gill, liver and kidney of Channa striatus was exposed to sublethal concentrations of chromium for the period of 10, 20 and 30 days. The fish exposed to chromium showed a decreased the glycogen contents for 10, 20 and 30 days in gill, liver and kidney. The objective of the present investigation was to observe the effect of chromium on glycogen contents in the gill, liver and kidney of freshwater fish, Channa striatus.

DEVELOPMENT OF VITAL GENERATION THROUGH QUEEN REARING TECHNIQUE IN APIS CERANA INDICA

Posted on by

Abstract
Domestication of honey bees for collecting honey, bee wax and pollen is called bee keeping. There are about 20,000 species of honey bees in the world. The Indian honey bee, Apis cerana indica Fab.is used in South India for commercial beekeeping and honey production. Eventhough the industry had developed tremendously; better performing colonies/strains with desirable traits are required for increased productivity and sustainable apiculture in South India. Concurrently, most of the colonies of A. cerana indica are not economically viable, Selective breeding is the best solution for stock improvement. Better genetic traits can be transferred and the productivity can be increased through selective breeding, so as to evolve best performing Indian bee colonies, Hence the present study was undertaken with a view to identify Indian bee A. cerana indica colonies with viable characters and develop a better perfoñning strain with desirable traits for improving the stock through selective breeding for sustainable apiculture in the State. The bee colonies with desirable characters were selected for evolving colonies with economically important traits. Production of potential queens through artificial queen rearing technique could be standardized in the study and further exploited for developing better performing colonies through selective breeding. The selectively bred colonies developed in the study could be subjected to extensive studies for further bee stock improvement.

SEASONAL VARIATIONS OF HEAVY METALS IN WATER AND SEDIMENTS OF UPPANAR ESTUARY, SOUTHEAST COAST OF INDIA.

Posted on by

Abstract
The aim of the present study is to evaluate the concentration of heavy metals in water and in sediment of Uppanar estuary, located at Cuddalore district, Tamil Nadu, India. The water and sediment samples were collected periodically from estuary during post monsoon, summer, pre monsoon and monsoon seasons from three different stations viz; station 1, station 2 and station 3. The samples were analyzed for the levels of cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb), copper (Cu), zinc (Zn) and nickel (Ni) by using standard methods. A significant seasonal variation (P< 0.05) was observed in the levels of all heavy metals in three stations. In water, heavy metals level was found to be in the order of Zn> Cu > Pb> Cd >Ni, whereas in sediments it was found to be in the order of Zn> Cu> Cd> Pb> Ni. The present results clearly indicated that the levels of Zn, Cu, Cd and Pb were exceeded the prescribed limits of WHO and also showed that both the samples were contaminated with heavy metals. The maximum levels of heavy metals in both the samples were noticed in S2 followed by S3 and S1. The elevated concentration of metals in this region may be due to location of this station nearer to the SIPCOT industries, where mixing of industrial effluents with estuary followed by river runoff, which contribute much of industrial and land derived materials along with domestic, municipal, and agricultural wastes loaded with pesticides. In addition to the continuous contribution of pollutants due to human activities, industries may also have a significant contribution of these metals in all the stations. Hence, it is recommended that, possible measures should be taken to minimize the levels of heavy metals in this study area.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Upper gastrointestinal tract disorders are one of the most commonly encountered problems in clinical practice. Patients with symptoms of esophageal diseases are commonly encountered in surgical practice. The evaluation of esophageal diseases and their management has been challenging to physicians and surgeons. Endoscopy is the procedure of choice for the diagnostic evaluation of Esophagus because of its ease, reliability, diagnostic superiority, wide availability and the ability it gives the endoscopist to perform biopsies and therapeutic interventions.
OBJECTIVES: 1. To study the incidence of various esophageal diseases with respect to age, sex. Socioeconomic status, risk factors, symptomatology in our hospital (RMMCH) .2. To study the pattern of presentation of various esophageal diseases.
3. To study the need for different therapeutic procedures that can be done endoscopically in our hospital.
SETTING: Endoscopy clinic in Rajah Muthiah Medical College & Hospital, Annamalai nagar,Tamilnadu-a large rural based tertiary care hospital.
MATERIALS & METHODS: This is a prospective study of 200 patients with symptoms of esophageal diseases who attended department of surgery and underwent UpperGI Endoscopy under SII unit in RAJAH MUTHIAH MEDICAL COLLEGE HOSPITAL during the period from JULY 2016 to OCTOBER 2016 . These patients underwent upper gastrointestinal endoscopy both on IP and OP basis. Documentations of patients which includes, identification, history, clinical findings, investigative tests, endoscopy findings and complications during the stay in hospital and during subsequent follow up period, were all recorded in a proforma specially prepared.
Results: In our Series of 200 cases, 50 cases (25%) had normal findings, 150 cases (75%) had abnormal findings. Males constituted about 62.5 % and Females 37.5% of total population. Among those having diseases Reflux Esophagitis (41.3%) was the commonest, followed by Hiatus hernia at 26.6 %, Carcinoma Esophagus presented in 4 % of cases. Among age groups, majority belonged to 26-50 yrs (59.5%).Among 200, 45% are smokers and 38% are alcoholics. Heartburn is the commonest presenting complaint found in 55% cases, followed by difficulty swallowing, regurgitation, chest pain, loss of appetite, malena and hematemesis.
Conclusion: In our study, the commonest Esophageal pathology in patients with upper gastrointestinal symptoms and underwent UGI Endocscopy was Reflux Esophagitis at 41.3%. We therefore conclude that upper GI endoscopic evaluation is a must in all patients who present with upper gastrointestinal tract symptoms and to identify early identification of lesions with malignant potential.

ROLE OF MAGNESIUM SULPHATE IN THE MANAGEMENT OFPRETERM LABOUR

Posted on by

Abstract
Background: Prematurity and its prevention continue to be a major challenge for both the obstetrician and neonatologist. Preterm labour is the most common obstetrical complication associated with perinatal deaths. Despite all advances in neonatology, the delivery of a preterm neonate is a clinical crisis that threatens the life and health of an infant. The obstetrician thus faces the challenge of affecting the delivery in such a way as to optimize the status of fetus-infant at birth It is far more preferable to prevent the initiation of preterm labour than once the cascade of events has already been established. Objective: To assess the efficacy of magnesium sulphate as a tocolytic agent in preterm labour. Material and Methods: 35 pregnant patients with gestational age 28-37 weeks with cervical dilatation not more than 3cm and cervical effacement not more than 50 % with intact membranes with regular uterine contractions with a frequency of 2 or more per 10 minutes lasting for at least 30 seconds were put on magnesium sulphate. Results: Magnesium sulphate was successful in attaining tocolysis in majority of patients
Conclusion: Magnesium sulphate is an effective, safe and well tolerated tocolytic agent.
