Abstract
Anaerobic fungi were orally dosed to lactating buffaloes to study their effect on the digestibility of a diet (composed of 50% wheat straw and 50% concentrate along with six kg maize green/animal/day), rumen fermentation patterns and milk production. Group I (control) was administered with fungus-free anaerobic broth, while group II and III were administered with Orpinomyces sp. C-14 or Piromyces sp. WNG-12 (250 ml; 3-5 days of growth/animal/ week), respectively. Milk production was higher in group II and III (8.42 and 8.48 kg/d) than in the control (8.03 kg/d) with virtually the same feed intake (i.e. 11.50 and 10.62 and 11.79 kg, respectively). There was an increase of 6% fat-corrected milk yield/animal/day in group II and III, respectively compared to the control. The milk fat was higher in the fungal culture administered groups than in the control group. The digestibility of dry matter, crude protein, neutral detergent fibre, acid detergent fibre, cellulose and digestible energy also increased significantly in group II and III. The pH and ammonia nitrogen were lower, whereas total volatile fatty acids, total nitrogen, trichloroacid precipitable nitrogen and number of zoospores/ml of rumen liquor were higher in group II and III when compared to the control. Hence, it can be stated that rumen fungi can be used as a direct-fed microbial in lactating buffaloes, to enhance the digestibility of wheat straw based diets leading to higher production.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The present study was undertaken to detect and compare the pattern of collagen fibers in odontogenic cysts and also to find out if this methodology could be used to predict the aggressive nature of odontogenic cysts by comparing with the odontogenic tumors. MATERIALS AND METHODS The collagen in the wall of 11 odontogenic keratocysts, 14 dentigerous cysts and 14 radicular cysts was studied histochemically by staining sections with picrosirius red and examining under polarizing microscope. This was compared to 10 cases of odontogenic tumors using Z test of proportion at 1% and 5%. RESULTS In dentigerous cysts, odontogenic keratocysts and odontogenic tumors, the predominant color of collagen fibers birefringence was found to be orangish red, whereas in radicular cysts the collagen fiber was of green color. CONCLUSIONS Similar birefringence pattern of collagen fibers between dentigerous cysts, odontogenic keratocysts and odontogenic tumors may indicate that these lesions have a common histogenesis with a broad spectrum of biological behavior and belong to the same group, i.e., are developmental in origin. Different patterns of radicular cysts suggest different biological behavior and a positive role of inflammation on polarization color of collagen fibers.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Hydatidiform moles have a high incidence rate in Asian countries like India. The molecular pathway leading to the pathogenesis and progression of hydatidiform moles is not yet understood. This study aimed to investigate the biological significance of Bcl-2 and p53 in complete hydatidiform moles (CHMs) as well as their influence on disease progression in the Indian population. METHODS Archival tissues from 35 patients with CHMs and 35 age-matched controls were examined for Bcl-2 and p53 expressions by immunohistochemistry. RESULTS Bcl-2 was found to be immunolocalised in the cytoplasm of the syncytiotrophoblast, whereas p53 was observed in both the nucleus and cytoplasm of the syncytiotrophoblast and cytotrophoblasts. In CHMs, Bcl-2 was detected in 23 percent of patients and p53 nuclear expression, in 66 percent. A significant decrease in Bcl-2 expression was observed in CHMs (p-value is 0.015), and the down-regulation of Bcl-2 significantly correlated with higher nuclear expression of p53 (p-value is 0.002), indicating an inverse association between the two proteins (p-value is 0.0001). However, no correlation was found between the clinical progress of patients with CHMs and p53 and those with Bcl-2 protein expression. CONCLUSION The current study demonstrated the significance of Bcl-2 and p53 in the pathogenesis of CHMs but did not reveal any association with disease progression.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Clostridium difficile (C. difficile) infection in hospitals in developed countries continues to be a major public health hazard despite increased control measures including review of antibiotic policies and hygiene measures. Patients with colitis are thought to be particularly vulnerable to C. difficile associated diarrhoea (CDAD). Identifying the clinical burden among hospitalised patients admitted with inflammatory bowel disease is an essential first step towards identifying and treating severe C. difficile infection in such individuals. AIM To determine excess morbidity and in-hospital mortality associated with hospital acquired CDAD in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD-CDAD-HAI) admitted to NHS hospitals in England compared with those admitted for inflammatory bowel disease alone. METHODS Time trends study of all admissions to NHS hospitals between 2002/03 and 2007/08. We developed case definitions for IBD-CDAD-HAI patients. The primary outcomes were in-hospital mortality and length of stay. The secondary outcome was gastrointestinal surgery. RESULTS Patients in the IBD-CDAD-HAI group were more likely to die in hospital (adjusted OR 6.32), had 27.9 days longer in-patient stays and higher gastrointestinal surgery rates (adjusted OR 1.87) than patients admitted for inflammatory bowel disease alone. CONCLUSION Patients with inflammatory bowel disease admitted to NHS hospitals in England with co-existent C. difficile infection are at risk of greater in-hospital mortality and morbidity than patients admitted for inflammatory bowel disease alone.

Abstract
AIM Training under hypoxia has several advantages over normoxic training in terms of enhancing the physical performance. Therefore, we tested the protective effect of hypoxia preconditioning by hypoxia mimetic cobalt chloride against exercise-induced oxidative damage in the skeletal muscles and improvement of physical performance. METHOD Male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into four groups (n=8), namely control, cobalt-supplemented, training and cobalt with training. The red gastrocnemius muscle was examined for all measurements, viz. free radical generation, lipid peroxidation, muscle damage and antioxidative capacity. RESULTS Hypoxic preconditioning with cobalt along with training significantly increased physical performance (33%, P<0.01) in rats compared with training-only rats. Cobalt supplementation activated cellular oxygen sensing system in rat skeletal muscle. It also protected against training-induced oxidative damage as observed by an increase in the GSH/GSSG ratio (36%, P<0.001; 28%, P<0.01 respectively) and reduced lipid peroxidation (15%, P<0.01; 31%, P<0.01 respectively) in both trained and untrained rats compared with their respective controls. Cobalt supplementation along with training enhanced the expression of antioxidant proteins haem oxygenase-1 (HO-1; 1.2-fold, P<0.05) and metallothionein (MT; 4.8-fold, P<0.001) compared with training only. A marked reduction was observed in exercise-induced muscle fibre damage as indicated by decreased necrotic muscle fibre, decreased lipofuscin content of muscle and plasma creatine kinase level (16%, P<0.01) in rats preconditioned with cobalt. CONCLUSION Our study provides strong evidence that hypoxic preconditioning with cobalt chloride enhances physical performance and protects muscle from exercise-induced oxidative damage via GSH, HO-1 and MT-mediated antioxidative capacity.

Abstract
Hsp90 (Heat shock protein 90) is an important therapeutic target for the treatment of cancer. To identify important chemical features for Hsp90 inhibitory activity, a 3D-QSAR pharmacophore model was developed using a set of 61 inhibitors (a training set of 31 and a test set of 30 compounds) belonging to a series of 2-amino-6-halopurine and 7'-substituted benzothiazolothio- and pyridinothiazolothio-purines. The best HypoGen model consisted of five pharmacophoric features: one hydrogen bond acceptor (HBA), one hydrogen bond donor (HBD) and three hydrophobic (HY) groups. It showed a high correlation coefficient (r = 0.943) and low root mean square deviation (RMSD = 0.751). This model was validated against 30 known Hsp90 inhibitors, where it showed a high predictive value for R(2)pred = 0.805], thus confirming that HY, HBA and HBD features are essential for Hsp90 inhibition. The validated pharmacophore model (Hypo-1) was used as a 3D query for virtual screening to retrieve potential inhibitors from the Maybridge and National Cancer Institute (NCI) databases. The hit compounds were subsequently subjected to molecular docking studies and, finally, five hits were prioritized as potential leads based on GoldScore function.

Abstract
AIMS This study aimed to elucidate the early renal changes in diabetes mellitus (DM) with and without clinical symptoms related to renal damage. METHODS Renal biopsy was studied in 25 patients (14 with microalbuminuria and 11 with albuminuria) both by light and electron microscopies (LM and EM, respectively) for renal changes and morphometry was performed to study glomerular and tubular basement membranes (GBM and TBM, respectively) width using a Soft Imaging System GmBH (analysis 3). RESULTS A significant increase was noted in the mean GBM and TBM thickness in both the preclinical and clinical groups compared to the control group. The changes in the TBM were noted to be predominant in both preclinical and clinical patients. CONCLUSIONS This study indicates the importance of morphometric evaluation of the GBM and TBM width in the elucidation of early renal damage in diabetic nephropathy, especially in the absence of LM changes. The significance of identification of early renal changes using morphometric techniques for better management of these patients requires further studies.

Abstract
The incidence of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is very high in the northeast region of India. An earlier study from China and Iran suggested that mutations in BRCA2 gene may play a role in the etiology of familial ESCC. However, the frequency of BRCA2 gene germ line mutations and its contribution to risk of familial aggregation of ESCC in high-risk region of India are not known. In the current study of 317 cases of esophageal cancer, 92 (29%) cases had a family history of esophageal and/or other cancers. Of these 92 patients, 45 (49%) patients had a family history of esophageal cancer. The risk of developing esophageal cancer was higher in cases where family history showed occurrence of cancers in first-degree relatives (odds ratio [OR]: 3.1; confidence interval [CI]: 1.9-5.3) than in second-degree relatives (OR: 1.3; CI: 0.25-3.2). Moreover, the risk of developing esophageal cancer was higher in subjects whose predegree suffered from esophageal cancer (OR: 2.4; CI: 1.1-4.1) than from any other cancers (OR: 1.1; CI: 0.32-3.3). The subjects with family history of cancer were more likely to develop ESCC if they were tobacco chewers (OR: 4.2; CI: 2.1-5.8) and betel quid users (OR: 3.6; CI: 1.8-4.6). Screening for mutations of the BRCA2 gene in the germ line DNA was carried out for 20 familial and 80 nonfamilial ESCC patients. One hundred unrelated healthy controls from the same population were included in this study. Nonsynonymous variants in exon 18 (K2729N) and exon 27 (I3412V) of BRCA2 gene were found in 3 of 20 patients with familial ESCC. No sequence alterations were found in 80 nonfamilial ESCC cases (P=0.01) and 100 healthy controls (P=0.0037), suggesting that germ line BRCA2 gene mutation may play a role in familial aggregation of ESCC in high-risk region of India.

Abstract
An adenosine tri-phosphate (ATP)-dependent molecular chaperone heat shock protein (Hsp90) is of current interest as a potential anticancer drug target. It has several oncogenic client proteins involved in signal transduction, cell cycle regulation and apoptosis. In order to identify essential chemical functional features for Hsp90 inhibition, a pharmacophore model consisting of one hydrogen bond donor, two hydrogen bond acceptor lipid and one hydrophobic feature has been developed using Hypogen (Catalyst 2.0 software) on a total set of 103 inhibitors consisting of 16 and 87 compounds in the training and the test set, respectively. The model shows good correlation for the training (r(2)= 0.887) and the test set ( [image omitted] = 0.692). In view of the X-ray data structure of Hsp90, GOLD 3.2 docking software was used to dock the 16 training set compounds. A good correlation (r(2)= 0.699) was observed between the experimental biological activity and the top-ranked Goldscore. The analysis of conserved patterns across the Hsp90 family, using the human Hsp90 X-ray structure as an alignment template, led to the identification of important amino acids involved in the ligand-binding interactions, which were found to be similar to those observed in docking studies. Hence, the best-generated pharmacophore model can be used for designing new Hsp90 inhibitors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Studies suggest a paucity of and lack of prioritisation in mental health research from low- and middle-income (LAMI) countries. AIMS To investigate research priorities in mental health among researchers and other stakeholders in LAMI countries. METHOD We used a two-stage design that included identification, through literature searches and snowball technique, of researchers and stakeholders in 114 countries of Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean; and a mail survey on priorities in research. RESULTS The study identified broad agreement between researchers and stakeholders and across regions regarding research priorities. Epidemiology (burden and risk factors), health systems and social science ranked highest for type of research. Depression/anxiety, substance use disorders and psychoses; and children and adolescents, women, and people exposed to violence/trauma were prioritised among the disorders and population groups respectively. Important criteria for prioritising research were burden of disease, social justice, and availability of funds. Stakeholder groups differed in the importance they gave to the personal interest of researchers as a criterion for prioritising research. Researchers' and stakeholders' priorities were consistent with burden of disease estimates, however suicide was underprioritised compared with its burden. Researchers' and stakeholders' priorities were also largely congruent with the researchers' projects. CONCLUSIONS The results of this first ever conducted survey of researchers and stakeholders regarding research priorities in mental health suggest that it should be possible to develop consensus at regional and international levels regarding the research agenda that is necessary to support health system objectives in LAMI countries.

Abstract
Neurotrophin receptors of the Trk family promote neuronal survival. The signal transduction of Trk receptors is regulated by endosomal trafficking. Monoubiquitination of receptor tyrosine kinases is an established signal for sorting of internalized receptors to late endosomes. The NGF receptor TrkA is sorted to late endosomes and undergoes ubiquitination, indicating a so far undefined regulatory role of proteasomal activity in the trafficking of TrkA. Surprisingly, we found that proteasomal inhibition alters the trafficking of TrkA from the late endosomal sorting pathway to the recycling pathway. Many neurodegenerative diseases are associated with impaired proteasomal activity. Thus, our study suggests that missorting of neurotrophic receptors might contribute to neuronal death in those neurodegenerative diseases that are known to be associated with impaired proteasomal function.

Abstract
Chordomas are most commonly of extradural origin and are associated with bone destruction. Extra-osseous intradural chordomas are extremely rare and most of the cases described are located near the clivus. We report an extremely rare case of multiple extra-osseous intraspinal chordomas in a 36-year-old male patient with autopsy findings. This case highlights that behaviour of spinal intradural chordomas is not universally low grade, but is variable and aggressive.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To analyse changes in clinical indications for community antibiotic prescribing for children in the UK between 1996 and 2006 and relate these findings to the new NICE guidelines for the treatment of upper respiratory tract infections in children. STUDY DESIGN Retrospective cohort study. METHOD The IMS Health Mediplus database was used to obtain annual antibiotic prescribing rates and associated clinical indications in 0-18-year-old patients between 1 January 1996 and 31 December 2006 in the UK. RESULTS Antibiotic prescribing declined by 24% between 1996 and 2000 but increased again by 10% during 2003-2006. Respiratory tract infection was the most common indication for which an antibiotic was prescribed, followed by "abnormal signs and symptoms", ear and skin infections. Antibiotic prescriptions for respiratory tract infections have decreased by 31% (p<0.01) mainly because of reduced prescribing for lower respiratory tract infections (56% decline, p<0.001) and specific upper respiratory tract infections including tonsillitis/pharyngitis (48% decline, p<0.001) and otitis (46% decline, p<0.001). Prescribing for non-specific upper respiratory tract infection increased fourfold (p<0.001). Prescribing for "abnormal signs and symptoms" increased significantly since 2001 (40% increase, p<0.001). CONCLUSION There has been a marked decrease in community antibiotic prescribing linked to lower respiratory tract infection, tonsillitis, pharyngitis and otitis. Overall prescribing is now increasing again but is associated with non-specific upper respiratory tract infection diagnoses. General practitioners may be avoiding using diagnoses where formal guidance suggests antibiotic prescribing is not indicated. The new NICE guidance on upper respiratory tract infections is at risk of being ignored.

Abstract
Mental health nursing is a critical issue for most countries. Nurses in low- and middle-income countries are often the primary providers of care for people with mental disorders. Some are highly qualified professionals who train other providers to identify and treat mental disorders. However, in other instances, particularly in low-income countries, nurses have had very little or no mental health training and receive no support from mental health professionals. The lack of sufficient mental health professionals in these countries creates an environment where nurses without training are often the only providers available to care for people with mental disorders. In September 2007 the World Health Organization and the International Council of Nurses produced a report summarizing the responses to some of the questions on a survey of nursing mental health practices in 177 countries and territories. The summary of the open-ended questions (e.g. what are the key issues for nurses providing mental health care in your country?) is reported for the first time in this article. Subsequent to the release of the Nurses in Mental Health Atlas, an online forum was held. There were 615 subscribers to this forum from over 80 countries. This article summarizes the rich insights and recommendations from both the survey's open-ended comments and the online forum. The issues discussed include: the varied and complex roles for nurses in mental health care; nursing education; prescribing practices; nurse recruitment and retention; human rights; research; and technical expertise.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The objective of this prospective study was to evaluate the effect of conversion from mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) to enteric-coated mycophenolate sodium (EC-MPS) in renal transplant recipients with gastrointestinal tract (GI) reverse effects using patient-reported outcomes instrument. METHODS A multicenter, open-label, prospective study was undertaken in renal transplant recipients treated with MMF. In patients experiencing GI tract symptoms, treatment was changed to equimolar EC-MPS (myfortic). At baseline and visit 2 (4-6 weeks after baseline), patients completed the Gastrointestinal Symptom Rating Scale (GSRS) and Gastrointestinal Quality of Life Index (GIQLI), and physicians completed the Overall Treatment Effect (OTE) scale at visit 2. A difference of 0.5 or greater in the OTE score is indicative of clinical relevance. RESULTS Of 154 patients screened, 118 fulfilled the inclusion or exclusion criteria. Eighty-five men and 33 women with a mean age of 41.6 years participated in this study. Median time since transplantation was 12 months. Mean (SD) dose of MMF reported at baseline was 1209.4 (422.89) mg/d. More than 50% of patients reported MMF-associated nausea, dyspepsia, and abdominal pain. After conversion to an equimolar dose of EC-MPS, patients showed improvement in GI symptoms. This benefit was predominantly observed in patients with moderate to severe symptoms at baseline. On the GSRS, patients reported a significant (P < .05) reduction in symptom burden across all parameters (reflux, 36%; diarrhea, 38%; indigestion, 36%; constipation, 28%; and abdominal pain, 40%). On the GIQLI also, significant (P < .05) improvement was reported (symptoms, 18%; emotional status, 22%; physical functioning, 21%, and use of medical treatment, 18%). On the OTE scale, 84.7% of patients reported improvement in GI symptoms. CONCLUSION In patients with moderate to severe GI symptoms, changing treatment from MMF to EC-MPS significantly reduces GI-related symptom burden and improves GI-specific quality of life.

Abstract
The majority of people with primary headache disorders live in the developing world. The contribution of low and middle income (LAMI) countries to headache research has not been previously characterized. A search was performed for clinical research publications between the years 1997 and 2006, using the search terms ‘headache’ OR ‘headache disorders’ AND ‘primary’ OR ‘migraine’ AND ‘each of the LAMI countries’ in 67 databases. Articles in English or with abstracts in English translation were included. These publications were scrutinized for study characteristics. Two hundred and twenty-seven publications from 32 LAMI countries were found. Half (50.2±) of these were from three middle-income countries (Brazil, Turkey and Iran), whereas 24 (10.6±) came from low-income countries. Most of the research focused on migraine. Only 29.5± of the articles involved treatment of headache. The understanding of headache disorders in LAMI countries is derived from a limited number of publications from relatively few countries. Identifying gaps in headache research in the developing world is strategic for targeting research policy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Since 1997, UK guidance has advocated limiting antibiotic prescribing for otitis media. It is not known whether this has influenced general practitioner prescribing practice. Aims and objectives To investigate the trends in diagnoses and antibiotic prescribing for otitis media in children in relation to guidance. METHODS We used the General Practice Research Database to conduct time-trend analyses of diagnoses and antibiotic prescribing for otitis media in 3 months to 15 years old, between 1990 and 2006. RESULTS A total of 1 210 237 otitis media episodes were identified in 464 845 children; two-thirds (68%; 818 006) received antibiotics. Twenty-two percent (267 335) were classified as acute, 85% (227 335) of which received antibiotics. Overall, antibiotic prescribing for otitis media declined by 51% between 1995 and 2000. Much of this reduction predated guidance. During this period, prescribing for otitis media coded as acute increased by 22%. Children diagnosed with acute otitis media were more likely to receive antibiotics than otitis media not coded as acute (P < 0.05). From 2000 prescribing plateaued, despite publication of further guidance. Otitis media diagnoses consistently paralleled prescribing. CONCLUSIONS The reduction in antibiotic prescribing for otitis media predated guidance. The simultaneous decrease in prescribing for non-acute otitis media and increase for acute otitis media suggest diagnostic transfer, possibly to justify the decision to treat.

Abstract
AIM To examine associations between obesity, ethnicity and intermediate clinical outcomes in diabetes. METHODS Population-based, cross-sectional study using electronic primary care medical records of 7300 people with diabetes from White, Black and south Asian ethnic groups. RESULTS The pattern of obesity differed within ethnic groups, with rates significantly higher in younger when compared to older Black (women, 63% vs. 44%, P = 0.002; men, 37% vs. 20%, P = 0.005) and south Asian (women, 47% vs. 27%, P = 0.01; men, 21% vs. 13%, P = 0.05) people. Obese people with diabetes were significantly less likely to achieve an established target for blood pressure control (adjusted odds ratio 0.50, 95% confidence interval 0.42, 0.59). Differences in mean systolic blood pressure in obese and normal weight persons were significant in the White group but not in the Black groups or south Asian groups (6.9 mmHg, 1.9 mmHg and 2.7 mmHg, respectively). Differences in mean diastolic blood pressure between obese and normal weight persons were 4.8 mmHg, 3.6 mmHg and 3.4 mmHg in the White, Black and south Asian groups. Mean HbA(1c) and achievement of an established treatment target did not differ significantly with obesity in any ethnic group. CONCLUSIONS Obesity is more prevalent amongst younger people than older people with diabetes in ethnic minority groups. The relationship between obesity and blood pressure control in diabetes differs markedly across ethnic groups. Major efforts must be implemented, especially in young people, to reduce levels of obesity in diabetes and improve long-term outcomes.
