Abstract
This study was conducted in three tertiary hospitals in Dhaka city at Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU), Dhaka Medical College Hospital (DMCH) and National Institute of Cardiovascular Disease (NICVD) as a part of Inter-Heart Study. Secondary data was obtained from the standard questionnaires to determine door to needle time (DNT) following thrombolytic therapy in patients with Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI) in coronary care units at three large tertiary referral hospitals in Dhaka city. Of total 192 patients studied in three centres, 156 (81.2%) received thrombolytic therapy. In BSMMU, 33 out of 45 (73.33%) patients received thrombolysis. Mean DNT was 147 minutes. Eighteen (55%) patients received thrombolysis within 90 minutes and 9 patients (27%) received with in 91-180 minutes, 6 patients (18%) received thrombolysis after 180 minutes. In DMCH, 44 out of 57 patients (77.1%) received thrombolysis. Mean DNT was 210 minutes. Five patients (11%) received within 90 minutes, 19 (43%) received thrombolysis between 91 to 180 minutes and 20 patients (46%) received thrombolysis outside the range of 180 minutes. In the NICVD, 79 out of total 90 (87.7%) patients received thrombolysis. Mean DTN was 64 minutes. Sixty seven (82%) patients received therapy within 90 minutes, 6 patients (9%) received between thrombolysis 91-180 minutes and 6 (9%) patients received after 180 minutes of reaching hospital. Inspite of overall improvement in the management of patients with AMI in coronary care units of major teaching hospitals, there seem to remain certain difficulty in our system which causes delay in thrombolysing patients with AMI. In this study, the mean DNT for thrombolysis was quickest (64 minutes) at NICVD and slowest (210 minutes) at DMCH. Although the study was conducted almost four years ago, it gives some insight regarding strength and weaknesses in the infrastructure of public sector hospitals in our country.

Protection capability of recombinant plasmid DNA vaccine containing VP2 gene of very virulent infectious bursal disease virus in chickens adjuvanted with CpG oligodeoxynucleotide.

[PMID: 16600440 DOI: 10.1016/j.vaccine.2006.03.016] [Citation(s) in RCA: 30] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/18/2006] [Revised: 02/22/2006] [Accepted: 03/02/2006] [Indexed: 11/30/2022]
Abstract
In the present study the efficacy of recombinant plasmids DNA vaccine encoding VP2 gene of very virulent strain of infectious bursal disease virus (vvIBDV) isolated from Pakistan was investigated with or without coadministration of cytocine-phosphate-guanine oligodeoxynucleotide (CpG ODN) to protect the chickens against the disease. VP2 gene of vvIBDV was successfully amplified by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and was cloned into eukaryotic expression plasmid vector, which consisted of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) immediate early enhancer and promoter, adenopartite leader sequences and SV-40 polyadenylation signal, and this was designated as pRc-VP2. Seven-day-old maternal antibodies free chickens were intramuscularly injected with 500 microg of pRc-VP2 with or without CpG ODN twice at 1-week interval. At the age of 21 days the broiler chickens were challenged with 10(5) EID(50) of homologous strain of IBDV and observed for 14 days post-challenge. Immunization with pRc-VP2 plus CpG ODN conferred protection in 93% of the chickens as evidenced by the absence of clinical signs, atrophy of bursa of Fabricius (BF) and mortality followed by the group vaccinated with attenuated IBD vaccine and boosted with killed oil based IBDV vaccine, which conferred 90% protection. The protection of chickens injected with pRc-VP2 alone was 67% where as only 20% of the chickens in the negative control group were protected. However, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) antibody titre in the group vaccinated with pRc-VP2 plus CpG ODN were significantly higher (P<0.05) than the group vaccinated with pRc-VP2 alone as well as the group vaccinated with commercial attenuated IBDV vaccine boosted with commercial oil adjuvanted killed IBDV vaccine. Responsiveness to a mitogenic lectin, phytoheamagglutinin-P was significantly reduced in group immunized with conventional vaccines (live boosted with killed) as compared to all the other groups (P<0.05). The results revealed that co-administration of recombinant plasmids with CpG ODN could protect chickens efficiently from IBDV challenge.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess the ability of artificial neural networks (ANNs) to predict optimum renal stone fragmentation in patients being managed by extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL). PATIENTS AND METHODS The study included 82 patients with renal stones who were being treated by ESWL. Data (input and output values) from 60 patients in whom there was optimum fragmentation of stones by ESWL were used for training the ANN. These data mainly included the 24-h urinary variables, the radiological features of the stone disease and the ESWL settings used. The predictability of the trained ANN was tested on 22 subsequent patients, by supplying the input variables of the 22 patients into the trained ANN and recording the output values (predicted values). After subjecting these patients to ESWL, the actual results (observed values) were recorded. The predicted and the observed values were then compared. RESULTS In the 22 patients in whom predictability was tested, the trained ANN predicted optimum fragmentation at < or = 13 000 shocks/stone (as per study protocol) in 17 and optimum fragmentation at> 13 000 shocks/stone in the other five. In the 17 patients (test set) where the trained ANN had predicted optimum fragmentation at < or = 13 000 shocks/stone, the optimum fragmentation was at that value, although the predicted and observed values were not identical. The overall correlation between the predicted and the observed values was 75.5% (correlation coefficient 0.7547) in these 17 patients. Of the other five patients, none had optimum fragmentation at < 13 000 shocks/stone, as predicted by the trained ANN, giving complete accuracy for this factor. CONCLUSION This was a pilot study, i.e. an initial attempt to use an ANN in this regard, and although there were few patients, such that it is not possible to make final recommendations, the overall predictability was approximately 75%. An encouraging outcome of the study was that the trained ANN identified patients unlikely to benefit from ESWL. Using a larger dataset and identifying more significant variables, while eliminating inputs with a negative effect, the efficiency and utility of this ANN can probably be enhanced and in future it might be possible to predict stone fragmentation with reasonable accuracy.

Abstract
The effect of an aqueous extract of Nigella sativa seeds was studied on candidiasis in mice. An intravenous inoculum of Candida albicans produced colonies of the organism in the liver, spleen and kidneys. Treatment of mice with the plant extract (6.6 mL/kg equivalent to 5 mg of estimated protein, once daily for 3 days) 24 h after the inoculation caused a considerable inhibitory effect on the growth of the organism in all organs studied. A 5-fold decrease in Candida in kidneys, 8-fold in liver and 11-fold in spleen was observed in the groups of animals post-treated with the plant extract. Histopathological examination of the respective organs confirmed these findings. These results indicate that the aqueous extract of Nigella sativa seeds exhibits inhibitory effect against candidiasis and this study validates the traditional use of the plant in fungal infections.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Caecum is the dilated part of the right colon situated in the right iliac fossa, therefore the etiology of this cancer is similar to those of the rest of the colon. Caecal carcinoma is more common in developed countries but it is not a rare disease in underdeveloped countries. This is more common in high socio-economic people who use less fibrous and purified diet. With improvement in health education and social status of the people of Pakistan, there is an emerging trend of Westernization in our society. This may increase the incidence of cancer in Pakistan. Carcinoma of caecum is curable disease is diagnosed early and treated. If we are aware of the pathogenesis, etiology, clinical presentation and management of the disease, we can offer a lot to these patients by diagnosing the caecal carcinoma at an earlier stage, this was the aim of this study. METHODS 20 cases (15 males and 5 females) of Carcinoma of Caecum were studied from January 1997 to December 1999. Out of these six patients presented in emergency ward, 2 as acute appendicitis and 4 as intestinal obstruction. After routine non-specific investigations, our specific investigations included USG abdomen, barium contrast studies and colonoscopy, Barium study and USG remained of primary importance. RESULTS Most of the patients were between age 45-65 years, oldest patient being 80 years old and the youngest was of only 30 years. Most of the patients presented as mass in the right iliac fossa and only some patients as intestinal obstruction. Right hemicolectomy with primary ileo-transverse anastomosis was our standard surgical procedure and was done in about 14 cases. But in some cases ileo-transverse by-pass operation was done as the growth was locally advanced. However, only the omental biopsy was taken in the cases where carcinoma was too advanced. CONCLUSIONS We think that our sociodemographic factors put a hindrance in detection of this carcinoma at early stages and therefore curative procedures are difficult to bear good results.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Non-Steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS) have long been used as anti-inflammatory agents, yet their mode of action is not entirely clear. The inhibitory effects of NSAIDS on prostaglandin production can only partly explain their anti-inflammatory actions. This study was aimed at defining the role of cycl-oxygenase (COX) inhibitors on nitric oxide (NO) production in murine macrophages in vitro. METHODS Murine macrophages were obtained from the peritoneum and after exposure, in vitro to lipopolysaccharide (LPS) produced nitrite, measured after 24 hours by Griess reaction. The macrophages were pre-incubated with aspirin or indomethacin before activation with LPS. RESULTS Treatment with aspirin resulted in an increase in nitric oxide production. A similar response was obtained with indomethacin treatment. CONCLUSION This study shows that COX inhibitors significantly increase NO production in murine macrophages in vitro and this may be one of the mechanisms by which they exert their anti-inflammatory effects.

Abstract
Ochrobactrum anthropi, previously known as CDC group Vd, is an aerobic, Gram-negative bacillus of low virulence that occasionally causes human infection. We describe a case of infective endocarditis with O. anthropi complicated by septic embolization. A review of all the literature reported cases of O. anthropi infection is presented and categorized into 'Central line related', 'Transplant related' and "Other pyogenic infections". Mortality appears to be related to the underlying disease state, rather than the organism.

Abstract
This study demonstrates that extramedullary hematopoiesis occurs in livers of adult lpr mice and, after treatment with each of three xenobiotic compounds--phenobarbital, cyproterone acetate, and nafenopin--it includes granulopoiesis. lpr mice are used as a model of the human disease systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). The develop a syndrome very similar to that of human sufferers. In untreated lpr mice, mononuclear white blood cells were discernible in hepatic sinusoidal foci; T and B lymphocytes were distinguished from each other by immunocytochemistry at light microscope level. After treatment with any of the xenobiotic compounds, immunolabeling demonstrated the additional presence of granulocytes in foci, and, at electron microscope level neutrophils, eosinophils and their precursors were clearly recognizable.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Phototherapeutic keratectomy (PTK) is effective in the treatment of many superficial corneal disorders. The incidence of bacterial keratitis following PTK has not been assessed in a large, prospective clinical trial. METHODS We report three cases of bacterial keratitis that occurred in a prospective study of 258 consecutive PTK procedures at King Khaled Eye Specialist Hospital. RESULTS Three (1.2%) of 258 eyes developed bacterial keratitis during a period of follow up ranging from 1 to 24 months. All three cases were in 183 eyes (1.6%) with a diagnosis of climatic droplet keratopathy, while no cases were observed in 75 eyes with other anterior corneal disorders. Gram-positive species (Streptococcus pneumonia in two, coagulase-negative Staphylococcus in one) were the predominant species isolated from all three cases. Two of the cases were polybacterial. The final visual outcomes ranged from 20/125 to 20/400. CONCLUSIONS The risk of bacterial keratitis following treatment of superficial corneal disorders with PTK is low but its occurrence may adversely affect the final visual outcome.

Abstract
In the Australian Corneal Graft Registry's first 18 months of operation, May 1985 to November 1986, data supplied by 53 surgeons relating to 322 graft recipients have been entered and analysed with respect to: the most common presenting diseases (primarily keratoconus, bullous keratopathy and corneal opacities), risk factors (especially prior sensitisation to HLA antigens, corneal vascularisation, past or present anterior segment inflammation and history of raised intraocular pressure [IOP]), donor and recipient sex, cause of donor death, storage procedures for donor eyes, operative procedures accompanying the grafts themselves, and preliminary indications of overall graft survival by actuarial analysis. It is hoped that the establishment of this Registry will not only reinforce the use of actuarial graft survival analysis as the method of choice for transplantation surgeons wishing to monitor the survival of their patients and grafts, but will also provide a useful service for the Australian ophthalmic community in general.

Abstract
We used wide-field color specular microscopy to study the corneal epithelium of 13 normal subjects and 13 patients with keratoconjunctivitis sicca. The frequencies of small, medium, and large cells were different in the two groups, with a shift to small cells in patients with keratoconjunctivitis sicca. Increased uptake of rose bengal dye, filaments, coarse mucus plaques, and pre-exfoliative sheets were also found in the patients with keratoconjunctivitis sicca. These findings suggest accelerated epithelial cell loss from the surface of the eye in keratoconjunctivitis sicca.

Abstract
In an unselected series of retinal detachments a 24-hour period of binocular occlusion and posture with a retinal hole dependent produces some resolution of subretinal fluid in 13% of cases. If only patients with acute, freely mobile detachments and retinal holes above the horizontal meridian were selected the proportion of detachments showing some resolution rose to 30%. In 8% of cases a paradoxical response occurred, the detachment increasing in depth or extending to involve an additional area of retina.
