Abstract
The umbilical cord and placental have been considered to significantly contribute to the perinatal outcome. Long or short cord can lead to intrauterine fetal demise. So this type of study in placenta and umbilical cord can yield information for immediate and later management of newborn. This information may also be essential for protecting the attending physician in the event of a fetal outcome. This Cross sectional descriptive study would provide information about the length of umbilical cord in different gestational age groups in Bangladesh. To fulfill this aim the study was performed on 60 human placentas and umbilical cords and Gestational age (in weeks) categorized as Group A (28-32), Group B (33-37), and Group C 38 weeks and above. These samples were collected from normal pregnancy in Gynecology and Obstetrics Department of Mymensingh Medical College Hospital from July 2009 to June 2010. After preservation in 10% normal saline, study was done in the department of Anatomy of Mymensingh Medical College. In this present study the mean±SD length of umbilical cord was found in different gestational age groups in Group A 63.00±5.40, Group B 63.69±8.80 and Group C 67.03±10.64cm and also observed that the mean length of umbilical cord increased with gestational age. The mean length of umbilical cord was maximum in Group C (67.03cm) and was minimum in Group A (63.00cm). The mean difference of length of umbilical cord among different groups was statistically not significant. Observed findings of this study were compared with those of western and Bangladeshi researches.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: The miR-17-92 is an oncogenic miRNA cluster that generate six mature miRNAs: miR-17, miR-18a, miR-19a, miR-20a, miR-19b-1, and miR-92-1. Accumulating evidences indicate the oncogenic role of the miR-17-92 cluster in human cancers. Amplification of 13q31-q32, which is the locus of the miR-17-92 cluster, have been reported in haematopoietic malignancies, such as B cell lymphoma. In contrast, MIR17HG was deleted in 21.9% of breast cancers and loss of heterozygosity at 13q12-q13 was associated with poor prognosis in breast cancer. This oncogenic miRNA cluster is deferentially expressed in various cancer. Since, miR-17-92 cluster shows differential expression among the cancers types, it is hypothesized that biological function may also vary depending on the context. Indeed, this cluster has been shown to act a tumour suppressor in some cancers. However, the functional role of this cluster in the subtypes of breast cancer remains largely unknown.
Methods: The oncomine datasets were analysed for expression of MIR17HG in breast cancer at parameters p-value threshold of 0.01 with minimum 2-fold change. We generated stable sub-clones of MCF7, T47D, SKBR3 and MDA-MB231 cells overexpressing miR-17-92 cluster by transducing with lentivirus expressing miR-17-92. Proliferation was assessed by MTS assay and colony forming assay. Cell migration was tested using scratch method. Invasion potentiality was monitored by using matrigel Boyden chamber invasion assay. For drug response analysis, control and microRNA overexpressing sub-clones were exposed to different chemotherapeutic agents at different concentrations followed by MTS assay at different time intervals. Association of miRNAs belonging to miR-17-92 with outcome in breast cancer was determined by Kaplan-Meier analysis on METABRIC dataset.
Results: We observed that expression of MIR17HG was increased in tissues and cell lines from triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) but decreased in the tissues and cell lines from the estrogen receptor (ER)-positive breast cancer. Our results showed that ectopic expression of miR-17-92 cluster significantly suppressed cell proliferation, colony formation, migration and invasion of ER-positive (MCF7, T47D) and HER2-enriched (SKBR3) cells whereas it enhanced cell proliferation, colony formation, migration and invasion in (TNBC) MDA-MB 231 cells. Further, we found that expression of miR-17-92 cluster sensitized MCF7 cells whereas it rendered SKBR3 cells resistant to chemotherapeutic compounds. Higher expression of five miRNAs of this cluster was associated with better relapse free survival (RFS) in (miR-17, miR-19a, miR-20a, miR-19b and miR-92) Luminal A subtype whereas three miRNAs of this cluster were associated with poor RFS in (miR-17, miR-18a and miR-92) HER2-enriched and (miR-17, miR-19b and miR-92) TNBC subtypes.
Conclusions: Taken together our results suggest that miR-17-92 cluster acts as a tumour suppressor in ER-positive and HER2-enriched breast cancer cells but shows oncogenic role in TNBC. Our observations underscore the functional complexity of miR-17-92 in a context-dependent and cell type-dependent manner, and more investigations are warranted to fully explore the functional complexity of miR-17-92 in subtypes of breast cancer.

Abstract
Here we present a Bangladeshi family where out of four family members two (mother and son) inherited both haemoglobin (HbS) S and haemoglobin (HbE) E gene confirming the diagnosis of double heterozygous state for HbS and HbE, presented in the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology (AFIP), Dhaka Cantonment, Dhaka, Bangladesh on the month of July 2016. Among other two members, one (daughter) inherited HbS and other (father) HbE. Double heterozygous state for HbS and HbE is a rare condition in this subcontinent especially in Bangladesh. HbS is rare but HbE is prevalent in Bangladesh. Co-inheritance of both HbS and HbE is therefore uncommon in this country in comparison to HbE/β - thalassaemia. Though the double heterozygous state for HbS and HbE is rare and the patients are usually asymptomatic but their documentation is important for genetic counseling and to determine the reproductive risk of the family.

Abstract
Pituitary adenoma is the third most common primary intracranial neoplasm involving the adult population with clinical features due to excess or deficient hormone secretion or due to its mass effect. Debate about the diagnostic accuracy, sensitivity and specificity of MRI imaging in detecting pituitary adenoma has been continuing. The study was aimed to evaluate the accuracy, sensitivity and specificity of MR imaging in detecting pituitary adenoma. This cross sectional study was conducted in the Department of Radiology and imaging, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib medical University (BSMMU) from July 2013 to August 2015. It was carried out in 50 pituitary adenoma cases of which, 28 male and 22 female to see the impact of MRI in the diagnosis of pituitary of adenoma. Out of 50 cases 43 cases were diagnosed by MRI, 3 were normal and 2 were pituitary apoplexy, one was immature teratoma as confirmed through histopathology. So, MRI has got major impact in the diagnosis of pituitary adenoma.

Abstract
To study the effects of diet complexity and multicarbohydrase (MC) supplementation, 144 piglets (6.70 ± 0.81 kg of BW) weaned at 21 ± 2 d of age (1:1 male to female ratio) were assigned to 1 of 6 dietary treatments in a 3 × 2 factorial arrangement based on diet complexity (complex1, complex2, and simple) and MC addition (0 vs. 0.1% of MC). Diets were provided in a 2-phase feeding program with phase I (d 1 to 14) and phase II diets (d 15 to 28). Complex1 was formulated to mimic a conventional weaner diet with blood plasma, fish meal, dried whey, and skim milk powder, whereas complex2 partially or totally replaced these ingredients with various plant-based ingredients. The simple diet primarily comprised corn, wheat, and soybean meal. No interactions were found between diet complexity and MC supplementation ( > 0.10), except for apparent total tract digestibility (ATTD) of ash and globulin concentration on d 28 ( < 0.05). Pigs fed the complex1 diet had greater ( < 0.01) ADG, ADFI, and G:F than those fed the other diets during the first week after weaning. However, no differences in ADG or ADFI were observed for pigs fed the complex1 and simple diets throughout the 28-d experimental period ( > 0.10), whereas the complex2 diet led to lower ADG and ADFI compared with the complex1 diet ( < 0.05). Overall, G:F was greater for pigs fed the simple diet compared with those fed the complex1 diet ( < 0.01). Pigs fed the simple diet showed ATTD of DM, OM, GE, and ash comparable to those fed the complex1 diet on d 14 ( > 0.10). In contrast, greater ATTD of DM, OM, NDF, GE, and ash was observed ( < 0.05) in pigs fed the complex1 diet than in those fed the complex2 diet or the simple diet on d 28. The simple diet increased the lymphocyte proportion in serum compared with the complex1 diet ( < 0.01) on d 14. Pigs fed the complex1 diet had a greater ( < 0.05) ratio of villus height (VH) to crypt depth (CD) in the ileum compared with the other diets. The complex2 diet decreased ( < 0.05) the fecal score during 3 wk of the postweaning period compared with the complex1 diet. Dietary MC supplementation increased ( < 0.05) G:F during the overall experimental period, VH in the ileum, VH:CD ratio in the duodenum, and ATTD of DM and GE but it reduced fecal score ( < 0.05). In conclusion, feeding a simple diet resulted in BW comparable to feeding the complex1 diet, but it led to inferior intestinal morphology and ATTD of nutrients on d 28. Also, MC supplementation could be beneficial regardless of diet complexity.

Abstract
Determination of age is one of the most important and vital demand in legal affairs, court and young sports, especially from 7-21 years. There is no established age determination table in our county. So we are dependent upon Galstaun, Bashu & Bashu and other European tables, which sometimes provide misinterpretation and variation of opinion. We should have our own table suitable for our nation. So, this prospective study was carried out in the Department of Radiology and Imaging of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU), Dhaka, Bangladesh from July 2010 to June 2014 (five years) to assess the general skeletal maturity. Three hundred boys and girls of known date of birth were selected on random basis from Dhaka. Ages were limited within 7 to 21 year. Every 20 person for each age group, of them 10 were male and 10 were female. To observe the bony maturity, radiographs were taken at the end of their age belongs to. Thus a growth table is to be prepared for further evaluation.

Abstract
Post operative complications after pituitary tumour surgery vary according to procedure. There are several surgical procedures being done such as transcranial, transsphenoidal microsurgical and transsphenoidal endoscopic approaches. One of the commonest complications is diabetes insipidus (DI). Our main objective was to find out the incidence of diabetes insipidus in post operative period among patients undergoing surgical intervention for pituitary tumour in our institute. The presence of diabetes insipidus in the postoperative period was established by measuring serum Na+ concentration, hourly urine output and urinary specific gravity to find out the incidence of diabetes insipidus in postoperative period in relation to age, gender, tumour diameter, function of tumour (i.e., either hormone secreting or not) and operative procedure used for surgical resection of pituitary tumor. As it is the most common postoperative complication so, in this study we tried to find out how many of the patients develop diabetes insipidus in postoperative period following surgical resection of pituitary tumour. This cross sectional type of observational study was carried out in the department of Neurosurgery, BSMMU from May 2014 to October 2015 on 33 consecutive patients who underwent surgical intervention for pituitary tumour for the first time. Data was collected by using a data collection sheet. The incidence of diabetes insipidus was found 23.1% of patients in <30 year age group, 38.5% of patients in 31-40 year age group and 38.5% of patients in ≥40 year age group (p=0.764). In case of distribution of patients according to gender 38.5% of male and 61.5% of female developed diabetes insipidus (p=0.073). Regarding tumour size 30.8% and 69.2% of patients developed diabetes insipidus having tumour diameter <30mm and ≥30mm respectively (p=0.590). In case of operative procedure 69.2% of patients developed diabetes insipidus who was operated by transsphenoidal endoscopic approach, 23.1% and 7.7% of patients developed diabetes insipidus who underwent pituitary tumour resection through transsphenoidal microscopic approach and transcranial microscopic approach respectively (p=0.432). 17.6% of patients develop DI having functioning pituitary macroadenoma and 62.5% of patients develop DI having nonfunctioning pituitary macroadenoma. This observational study has been performed to find out the incidence of diabetes insipidus. Incidence of postoperative DI is more at or around the age of 40 years. It is slightly predominant in female. Most of the patients manifest DI in the first 24 hours of surgical intervention. Incidence of DI is low among patients having functioning pituitary macroadenoma.

Abstract
Breast cancer is the most common malignancy in women and the second most common cause of cancer-related mortality. The distinction by physical examination of physiologic nodularity from abnormal masses can be difficult, while the clinical differentiation of a malignant mass from a benign one is difficult; the medical as well as potential legal consequences of missing a palpable carcinoma are high. There are significant number of reported cases of false-negative findings on mammography and the great desire not to miss a malignant lesion in the early stage of disease lead to aggressive biopsy, but the biopsy rate for cancer is only 10.0% to 30.0%. This means that 70.0% to 90.0% of breast biopsies are performed for benign diseases, which induce unnecessary patients discomfort and anxiety in addition to increasing costs to the patient. Clearly, there is a great need for development of additional reliable methods to complement the existing diagnostic procedures to avoid unnecessary biopsy. This cross sectional study was carried out on 43 patients having palpable breast mass, attended in the Department of Radiology and Imaging Mymensingh Medical College Hospital, Mymensingh from 1st January 2012 to 31st December 2013 for the period of two year. These patients were evaluated by USG at the Department of Radiology and Imaging and histopathological examination at the Department of Pathology of the same College to confirm the diagnosis. In diagnosis of malignant mass by USG, 9(20.9%) cases were diagnosed as malignant and 34(79.1%) cases as other than malignant. Eight out of 9 were sonographically diagnosed as malignant lesions also proved as malignant lesion by histopathology and 1 other than malignant. Out of 34 sonographically diagnosed cases of other than malignant lesions 32 were proved histopathologically and 2 did not match with sonographic findings. USG, in diagnosis of malignant lesion, sensitivity was 80.0%, specificity 96.97%, positive predictive value (PPV) (88.89%), negative predictive value 94.12% and accuracy was 93.02% and comparable to other study. In diagnosis of benign lesion by USG, sensitivity was 96.97%, specificity 80.0%, positive predictive value (PPV) (94.12%), negative predictive value 88.89% and accuracy was 93.02%. So, USG is an appropriate imaging method for diagnosis & differential diagnosis of palpable breast mass.

Abstract
Currently there is no effective approach for monitoring early β-cell loss during islet graft rejection following human islet transplantation (HIT). Due to ethical and technical constraints, it is difficult to directly study biomarkers of islet destruction in humans. Here, we established a humanized mouse model with induced human β-cell death using adoptive lymphocyte transfer (ALT). Human islet grafts of ALT-treated mice had perigraft lymphocyte infiltration, fewer insulin+ β cells, and increased β-cell apoptosis. Islet-specific miR-375 was used to validate our model, and expression of miR-375 was significantly decreased in the grafts and increased in the circulation of ALT-treated mice before hyperglycemia. A NanoString expression assay was further used to profile 800 human miRNAs in the human islet grafts, and the results were validated using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. We found that miR-4454 and miR-199a-5p were decreased in the human islet grafts following ALT and increased in the circulation prior to hyperglycemia. These data demonstrate that our in vivo model of induced human β-cell destruction is a robust method for identifying and characterizing circulating biomarkers, and suggest that miR-4454 and miR-199a-5p can serve as novel biomarkers associated with early human β-cell loss following HIT.

Abstract
To evaluate the biochemical parameters of metabolic syndrome in case of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients this case control study was carried out in the department of Biochemistry, Mymensingh Medical College in collaboration with Department of Cardiology, Mymensingh Medical College Hospital, Mymensingh, Bangladesh from July 2012 to June 2013. To assess of serum total cholesterol, triacylglycerol, HDL-cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, to estimate of serum glucose and to establish the association of age, sex, BMI, waist circumference, waist hip ratio and blood pressure of myocardial infarction patients. A total of 120 subjects were included in the study. Among them 60 were subjects of AMI cases and another 60 subjects of non AMI patients as controls. Serum total cholesterol, serum triacylglycerol, serum LDL-Cholesterol & serum HDL-Cholesterol were estimated in each sample. All values were expressed as Mean±SD. Statistical significance of difference between case and control were evaluated by using student's unpaired 't' test. All statistical analysis was done by using SPSS windows package. Past history of diabetes Mellitus and hypertension were more common in cases compared to those in control (p<0.001) which was statistically highly significant. There was no significant difference in the history of smoking between case and control. Statistical mean values of serum triacylglycerol, serum FBS, serum total cholesterol were highly significant in AMI patients in comparison to control (p<0.001). Statistical mean value of HDL-C was significantly decreased in AMI patients in contrast to control (p<0.001). In this study systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure were significantly increased in AMI patients in comparison to control (p<0.05). Waist circumference was highly significant in AMI patients in comparison to control (p<0.001). Analyzing the findings of the present study there were significant alteration in lipid profile, blood pressure, fasting blood sugar & WC. These findings reaffirm the clinical importance of the metabolic syndrome as a significant risk factor for AMI. So it may be recommended that estimation of these parameters may help pivotal for better management of AMI.

Abstract
AIMS The present study aims to study the prevalence of depression in patients with uncomplicated type II diabetes mellitus and to find its association with various socio-demographic factors in the same. MATERIALS AND METHODS A cross-sectional, single interview study was performed in an outpatient department of an endocrinology institute. Total 80 type II DM patients without any associated complications of diabetes were included in this study. To diagnose Depressive Episode, structured clinical interview for DSM V was applied. Severity of depression was assessed by Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (HAM-D). To assess socio-demographic characteristics of the patients, all of them were evaluated with a semi-structured socio-demographic performa. RESULTS 38.75% patients (N=31) were found to be suffering from depression. Among them 48.38% were moderately depressed and none were suffering from very severe depression. Significant association was not found between depression and socio-demographic factors of age (p=0.920), gender (p=0.251), economic profile (p=0.583), local background of the patient (p=0.646), educational qualification (p=0.935) and marital status (p=0.644). Similarly no association was found with duration of diabetes, HbA1c and BMI. CONCLUSION Exclusion of complicated cases didn't seem to influence overall prevalence of depression, although reduction in severity was apparent. Thus even in those diabetic patients who are leading a complication free life, a detailed psychiatric analysis to rule out depression is mandatory.

Abstract
This cross sectional study was conducted to evaluate the role of doppler ultrasonography of hepatic venous waves for evaluation of large varices in cirrhotic patients from July 2013 to June 2015 in Mymensingh Medical College Hospital, Mymensingh, Bangladesh. Patients getting admitted in the ward with a diagnosis of cirrhosis were enrolled in the study and purposive sampling technique was adopted. The sample size was 43. Data were collected by face to face interview and some data were gathered by records review and analyzed with the help of SPSS windows version - 12 software programs. Statistical significance was set at P<0.05 and confidence interval set at 95%. The research protocol was approved by the local ethical committee. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy is the gold standard for the diagnosis of esophageal varices. If the gold standard is not available, other possible diagnostic steps would be Doppler ultrasonography of the blood circulation (not endoscopic ultrasonography). Although and it can certainly demonstrate the presence of varices. In 60.47% of patient's monophasic wave pattern was seen and in 39.53% of cases biphasic & triphasic wave pattern were detected. Endoscopic examination was performed in all selected patients. In this study, 67.44% is large varices, 32.66% is small varices. Chi Square test was done for hypothesis testing and it was found significant (<0.05) and it indicates monophasic wave in Doppler USG signifies large varices. This test was also done to find out whether any significant difference of hepatic venous waveform in between male and female but it was not significant (>0.05). Diagnostic performance of USG for evaluation of varices showed, Sensitivity: 86.2%, Specificity: 92.85%, PPV: 96%, NPV: 76.47%, Accuracy 88%. Correlation co-efficient was 0.0064 which indicates moderately positive correlation in between monophasic hepatic venous waveform pattern by Doppler USG and large varices in oesophagogastroduodenoscopic findings Normal hepatic wave form shows triphasic pattern. Loss of this pattern in cirrhosis is mainly due to loss of compliance of liver. In conclusion, the loss of triphasic pattern of hepatic wave form is highly sensitive in predicting the presence of large varices in cirrhotic patients and this doppler parameter may be used as a non-invasive test for cirrhotic patients, who wish to avoid upper GI endoscopy. Further studies using a combination of various doppler parameters are needed to create indices with a better predictive value.

Abstract
CORRECTION: Due to a number of formatting and layout issues, the PDF of this paper was replaced on 10th October 2016.Combined efforts of farmers, rice scientists, extension personnel and Government of Bangladesh have yielded clean rice growth rate of 0.34 million ton (MT) year-1 during 2009-10 to 2013-14 in the country. In 2014-15, the country acquired a rice surplus of about 2 MT. However, maintaining the current surplus of rice in the coming decades is a great challenge. Authentic estimation of future rice requirement and future resource availability would guide to way forward. This paper presents rice vision for Bangladesh leading to 2050 and beyond. In this study, secondary data from different government-owned statistics and research institutes were collected, analyzed and synthesized to develop models and/or model parameters to generate outputs such as future population, rice production and rice requirement. Population of Bangladesh will reach 215.4 million in 2050, when 44.6 MT of clean rice will be required. With the pace of rice-production-increase in the last five years, production can reach 47.2 MT, having a surplus of 2.6 MT in 2050. The study sets 2.6 MT as the target for clean rice surplus every year leading to 2050 and beyond. Several hurdles, such as increasing population, decreasing resources and increasing climate vulnerability, can hinder achieving the target. Three major interventions?accelerating genetic gain, minimizing yield gap and curtailing adoption lag?are proposed to break the barriers to achieve the target. Major challenges to implement the interventions include shrinking net cropped area, decreasing availability of irrigation water and increasing pressure on soil fertility. Smart technology such as, location specific variety, profitable cropping sequences, innovative cultural management, and mechanization coupled with smart dissemination using multiple means would ease production barriers. We recommend a number of measures, such as, guaranteeing a minimum cropped area, accelerating the rate of genetic gain in varietal development and intensifying collaboration among the stakeholders to reduce adoption lag of newly released promising rice varieties, to achieve the rice vision of Bangladesh leading to 2050 and beyond.Bangladesh Rice j. 2015, 19(2): 1-18

Abstract
The objective of the study was to find out correlation between umbilical cord diameter, cross sectional area with gestational age and foetal anthropometric parameters. This cross sectional study was conducted among healthy women between the 24(th) and 40(th) completed weeks of a normal pregnancy in the Department of Radiology & Imaging, Mymensingh Medical College Hospital, Mymensingh during the study period, from July 2009 to June 2011. A total of 230 consecutive normal pregnancy patients were included in the study. The diameter & cross-sectional area of the umbilical cord were measured on a plane adjacent to the junction of the umbilical cord and the fetal abdomen, in cross-section, with maximum magnification of the image. The cord was manually circled, and it's cross sectional areas was automatically calculated by the ultrasonograph. The mean±SD age was 24.3±4.7 years with range from 19 to 36 years. The mean gestational age was 32.1±4.5 weeks and more than a half (56.4%) of the pregnant women were nulliparas. A positive significant (p<0.001) correlation were found between umbilical cord diameter with bi-parietal diameter (r=0.548); head circumference (r=0.411); abdominal circumference (r=0.444); femur length (r=0.366) and gestational age gestation age (r=0.643). Similarly, a significant (p<0.001) positive week correlation were found between umbilical cross sectional area with bi-parietal diameter (r=0.3303); head circumference (r=0.3202); abdominal circumference (r=0.2651); femur length (r=0.3307) and gestation age (r=0.4051). A positive significant better correlation was found with umbilical cord diameter than cross sectional area with foetal anthropometric parameters.

Abstract
In the present study serum glucose were estimated in pregnant women during the first trimester of pregnancy and third trimester of pregnancy to observe the frequency of hyperglycemia during pregnancy and to assess the incidence of gestational diabetes mellitus. This study was a cross sectional study, carried out in the Department of Physiology of Mymensingh Medical College, Mymensingh from July 2014 to June 2015. For this purpose, total 300 women with age ranged from 18 to 35 years were selected and divided into 100 healthy non pregnant women as control group and 200 normal pregnant women as study group. Study group was further divided into 100 pregnant women in first trimester of pregnancy and 100 pregnant women in third trimester of pregnancy. Diagnosed case of type I and type II diabetes, hypothyroidism, cushing's syndrome, polycystic ovary, antipsychotic drug users, regular steroid users were excluded from this study. Serum glucose was evaluated by the glucose-oxidase principle by GOD-PAP method in women with 1st trimester of pregnancy, 3rd trimester of pregnancy and in non pregnant women. Statistical analysis of data was done by unpaired student's t test. The results showed that the serum glucose levels increased significantly in third trimester and the value is not significant in first trimester. The increasing frequency of serum glucose level in third trimester may predispose the women to hyperglycemia of pregnancy or gestational diabetes mellitus.

Abstract
This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of dietary fenugreek seed extract (FSE) on growth performance, apparent total tract digestibility (ATTD), diarrhoea scores, blood profiles, faecal microflora and faecal gas emission in weanling pigs. A total of 135 weanling pigs [(Yorkshire × Landrace) × Duroc] with an average BW of (7.96 ± 1.03 kg; 28 days of age) were used in a 42-day study. Piglets were randomly allotted to three experimental diets with nine replicate pens and five pigs per pen. Dietary treatments were as follows: CON, basal diet; FSE1, basal diet + 0.1% FSE; FSE2, basal diet + 0.2% FSE. Pigs were fed with phase 1 (0-14 days) and phase 2 (14-42 days) diets in the form of mash. Average daily gain (ADG) was linearly increased (p = 0.031) by FSE supplementation compared with CON diet during days 0-14. From days 14-42, FSE2 diet had increased ADG and growth efficiency (G/F) compared with the CON diet (p = 0.014 and 0.026 respectively). Moreover, ADG and G/F were increased by FSE supplementation during days 0-42 (linear, p = 0.037 and 0.014 respectively). Energy digestibility was higher (linear, p = 0.030) by FSE supplementation at 6 weeks. On day 42, dietary supplementation of FSE linearly increased red blood cells (RBC) and immunoglobulin G (IgG) concentration (p = 0.042 and 0.038 respectively). Piglets fed FSE2 diet had higher (linear, p = 0.025) serum high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) concentration compared with those fed CON diet. However, piglets fed FSE2 diet had linearly reduced faecal ammonia (NH3 ) and hydrogen sulphide (H2 S) gas emission compared with those fed the CON diet (p = 0.018 and 0.010 respectively). In conclusion, FSE supplementation increased the performance and reduced faecal gas emission in weanling pigs.

Abstract
This study was performed to explore the deterioration of physicochemical quality of beef hind limb during frozen storage at -20℃, affected by repeated freeze-thaw cycles. The effects of three successive freeze-thaw cycles on beef hind limb were investigated comparing with unfrozen beef muscle for 80 d by keeping at -20±1℃. The freeze-thaw cycles were subjected to three thawing methods and carried out to select the best one on the basis of deterioration of physicochemical properties of beef. As the number of repeated freeze-thaw cycles increased, drip loss decreased and water holding capacity (WHC) increased (p<0.05) till two cycles and then decreased. Cooking loss increased in cycle one and three but decreased in cycle two. Moreover, drip loss, WHC and cooking loss affected (p<0.05) by thawing methods within the cycles. However, pH value decreased (p<0.05), but peroxide value (p<0.05), free fatty acids value (p<0.05) and TBARS value increased (p<0.05) significantly as the number of repeated freeze-thaw cycles increased. Moreover, significant (p<0.05) interactive effects were found among the thawing methods and repeated cycles. As a result, freeze-thaw cycles affected the physicochemical quality of beef muscle, causing the degradation of its quality.

Abstract
Aqueous solutions of tetrabutylphosphonium hydroxide have been evaluated as pretreatment media for rice husks, prior to sulphuric acid hydrolysis or cellulase enzymatic hydrolysis. Varying the water:tetrabutylphosphonium hydroxide ratio varied the rate of delignification, as well as silica, lignin and cellulose solubility. Pre-treatment with 60wt% hydroxide dissolved the rice husk and the regenerated material was thus heavily disrupted. Sulphuric acid hydrolysis of 60wt%-treated samples yielded the highest amount of glucose per gram of rice husk. Solutions with good lignin and silica solubility but only moderate to negligible cellulose solubility (10-40wt% hydroxide) were equally effective as pre-treatment media for both acid and enzymatic hydrolysis. However, pre-treatment with 60wt% hydroxide solutions was incompatible with downstream enzymatic hydrolysis. This was due to significant incorporation of phosphonium species in the regenerated biomass, which significantly inhibited the activity of the cellulase enzymes.

Abstract
This case control cross sectional study was carried out in the department of biochemistry, Mymensingh medical college in collaboration with the outpatient department, family planning model clinic and antenatal obstetric ward of Mymensingh medical college hospital, Mymensingh during the period of July 2003 to June 2004. The aim of the study was to explore the status of serum calcium among pregnancies complicated by pre-eclampsia in Bangladesh as a means to monitor the possibility of management of these patients. A total of 82 subjects were selected and were grouped as Group I (32 healthy women with uncomplicated pregnancy as control subjects) and Group II (50 pregnant women with pre-eclampsia as cases). Serum calcium was estimated by colorimetric method from each sample. Statistical analysis was done by using SPSS windows package. Among the groups, mean±SD (Standard Deviation) of Group I and Group II serum calcium were 8.71±1.00 and 10.78±1.44 mg/dl respectively. By comparing Group I with Group II highly significant difference were found in case of serum calcium (P<0.001). It is evident from the study that serum calcium level significantly increases among pregnancies complicated by pre-eclampsia in Bangladesh.

Abstract
This cross sectional study was carried out in Center for Assisted Reproduction, Dhaka, and in the Department of Biochemistry, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University, Dhaka, Bangladesh from July 2012 to December 2012. The study population was 71 consecutive male partners of infertile couple suffering from at least one year of infertility. Lead and Zinc level was measured in blood and semen in the male partner of infertile couple and compared with semen parameters. Serum zinc at different values did not show any statistically significant change in semen volume, total count of sperm and total motility of sperm. At serum zinc level 80-< 90 μg/dl blood lead and semen lead level was lowest 20.6 ± 8.60 μg/dl and 48.17 ± 51.33 μg/dl respectively and showed highest total count of sperm (54.00 ± 46.67 million/ml) but was not statistically significant. Rapid linear motility and normal sperm morphology was also highest at values 80-< 90 μg/dl and was 45.33 ± 26.62% and 36.67 ± 11.60% respectively and was statistically significant. At serum zinc level > 90 μg/dl semen lead level was significantly higher (120.73 ± 58.02 μg/dl) and showed statistically significant decrease in rapid linear motility and normal sperm morphology. Total count of sperm was lowest at blood zinc level of 70-< 80 μg/dl. Sperm morphology also showed statistically significant improvement at Serum zinc values of 80-< 90 μg/dl. The results suggest that Serum zinc level of values 80-< 90 μg/dl is the optimum level to have the best impact on semen parameter as well it is the critical level at which the semen lead level is lowest. Serum zinc levels higher as well as lower than values 80-< 90 μg/dl was associated with increased semen lead values and with negative impact on semen parameters.

Abstract
Conservation tillage technology not only protects natural resources but also provides some economic leverage. The present investigation evaluated two puddle tillages (i) conventional tillage (CT) and (ii) single pass wet tillage (SPWT) and two unpuddled tillages(iii) strip tillage(ST) and (iv) bed planting (BP) to establish rice in the High Barind Tract, Godagari, Rajshahi during aus 2010 and boro 2011 season. The CT option incurred higher cost compared to other tillage treatments due to more fuel and labour used in land preparation. Minimum tillage (SPWT, ST and BP) saved about 30-54% fuel consumption and 40-49% labour requirement compared to CT in land preparation. Labour did not face much difficulty to transplant seedling in unpuddled fields. However, unpuddled establishment required more labor for weeding compared to puddle one. Bed planting in aus gave significantly lower grain yield than other establishment methods. However, in boro season, all the tested tillage methods produced similar yield. In both seasons, CT showed the highest input costs due to more number of tillage passes and fuel requirement in land preparation. As a consequence, SPWT, ST and BP appeared to be more profitable than CT both in aus and boro rice.The Agriculturists 2014; 12(2) 91-97
