Abstract
Aim: This study aims to provide reliable prognostic factors for patients with cryptococcal meningitis (CM). Patients & methods: Clinical characteristics and laboratory findings of CM patients were retrospectively reviewed. Results: Sixty-three patients with CM were enrolled and 38/63 were confirmed to be HIV serology positive. Among clinical characteristics, headache, nausea and/or vomiting, and fever were the most common symptoms. Among cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) parameters, changes in leukocyte count, lactate dehydrogenase and chloride were significantly associated with the outcome. An increased CSF/serum albumin quotient (QAlb) was indicative of an unfavorable outcome in HIV-negative patients. Conclusion: CSF lactate dehydrogenase and QAlb may improve the prediction of outcomes in patients with CM.

Abstract
Acrylamide (ACR) is an industrial neurotoxic chemical that has been recently found in carbohydrate-rich foods cooked at high temperatures. ACR was designated as a probable human carcinogen by IARC (1994) and USEPA (1988). Panax ginseng extract has efficacies such as anticancer, antihypertension, antidiabetes and antinociception. The objective of the current study is to evaluate the protective effects of Panax ginseng extract against ACR-induced toxicity in rats. Sixty adult Sprague Dawley female rats were divided into six groups included a control group, a group treated orally with ACR (50 mg kg(-1) body weight; b.w.) for 11 days, a group treated orally with Panax ginseng extract (20 mg kg(-1) b.w.) for 11 days and groups treated orally with Panax ginseng for 11 days before, during or after 11 days of ACR treatment. The results indicated that treatment with ACR alone resulted in a significant increase in lipid peroxidation level and LDH activity in brain homogenate as well as in serum CK activity, whereas it caused a significant decrease in SOD activity and a small but statistically insignificant decrease in Na(+)K(+)-ATPase activity in brain homogenate. Serum serotonin, corticosterone, T3, T4, TSH, estradiol, progesterone and plasma adrenaline were significantly decreased in ACR-treated rats. Treatment with Panax ginseng before, during or after ACR treatment reduced or partially antagonized the effects induced by ACR towards the normal values of controls. It could be concluded that Panax ginseng extract exhibited a protective action against ACR toxicity and it is worth noting that treatment with Panax ginseng extract before or at the same time as ACR treatment was more effective than when administered after ACR treatment.

Abstract
The International Germ Cell Consensus Classification (IGCCC) of testicular germ cell tumors (TGCT) in 1997 included three serum tumor markers, serum lactate dehydrogenase catalytic concentration (S-LD), serum alpha fetoprotein concentration (S-AFP), and serum human chorionic gonadotropin concentration (S-hCG). The recommendation should be implemented for all patients with TGCT and is also useful for patients with ovarian and extragonadal germ cell tumors. A fourth serum tumor marker for TGCT, S-LD isoenzyme 1 (S-LD-1), is also relevant for TGCT. Patients with seminoma have a raised S-LD-1 more often than a raised S-AFP and S-hCG, whereas patients with nonseminoma have a raised S-AFP more often than a raised S-LD-1 and S-hCG. A new model combining IGCCC and S-LD-1 predicts survival better than previous staging systems. LD-1 is related to a characteristic chromosomal abnormality in all types of TGCT, a high copy number of chromosome 12p. In contrast, AFP and hCG are found mainly in nonseminomatous germ cell tumors and they related to the histologic differentiation of the tumors. The different biologic background for the serum tumor markers may contribute to the difference in their clinical behavior.

Abstract
AIM To study the lactic dehydrogenase isoenzyme values in children with simple and complex febrile convulsions. METHODS Cerebrospinal fluid samples were collected from 115 children, 57 with simple febrile convulsions, 27 with complex febrile convulsions and 31 with no neurological or intracranial pathology (controls). Lactic dehydrogenase activity and isoenzyme levels were measured on a Hitachi analyser. RESULTS Mean total lactic dehydrogenase activity was similar in the three groups. In the control group, lactic dehydrogenase-1 was the main fraction, followed by lactic dehydrogenase-2 and lactic dehydrogenase-3; only small percentages of lactic dehydrogenase-4 and lactic dehydrogenase-5 were detected. In the febrile convulsion group, the lactic dehydrogenase-1 fraction percentage was lower and lactic dehydrogenase-2, lactic dehydrogenase-3 percentages were higher than those in the control group; and the differences were statistically significant between the control and study groups (p < 0.01). Values of lactic dehydrogenase-4 and lactic dehydrogenase-5 were similar in all three groups. CONCLUSION This is the first report on the lactic dehydrogenase isoenzyme pattern in the cerebrospinal fluid of patients with simple and complex febrile convulsions. The important finding that focal and general febrile convulsions are not associated with cell damage and changes in aerobic and anaerobic metabolism as lactic dehydrogenase remained unchanged. Analysis of cerebrospinal fluid lactic dehydrogenase isoenzyme levels can assist clinicians in differentiating febrile convulsions from clinical situations that might mimic them.
