Abstract
Restless legs syndrome is a distressing condition that is more common in patients with end-stage renal failure. Despite the significant impact it has on quality of life and the documented association between restless legs syndrome and increased mortality, limited data regarding the epidemiology of restless legs syndrome in Australian dialysis patients are available. We report a prospective study that assessed the prevalence and factors associated with restless legs syndrome in an in-centre haemodialysis population.

Abstract
Hepatitis C virus infects over 15 million patients from India and 2.86 million from Brazil. Detection of anti-hepatitis C virus antibodies has limited sensitivity during acute phase: the pre-seroconversion window period. Hepatitis C virus-RNA detection techniques are used to overcome this shortfall, but are costly and unavailable widely in developing countries. Estimation of hepatitis C virus core-antigen, a protein with highly conserved sequence, by enzyme-immunoassays is an economic and simpler alternative to RNA detection. This study was conducted in Delhi, involving 300 acute and chronic liver disease patients, tested for anti-hepatitis C virus 3rd-generation ELISA, hepatitis C virus core-antigen-ELISA and hepatitis C virus-RNA reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. Among the acute patients, hepatitis C virus core-antigen assay could identify 13 out of 14 pre-seroconversion window period cases and 6 out of 8 seroconverted cases, with a pre-seroconversion window period sensitivity of 92.9% and specificity of 100%. In hepatitis C virus core-antigen-positive cases, the viral load was in the range of 4900 to 1.46 × 106 IU/mL, whereas in hepatitis C virus core-antigen-negative cases, the range of viral load was 100–4500 IU/mL. The cost of the hepatitis C virus core-antigen-ELISA was estimated around 3–4 times lesser than the in-house reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction and 9–10 times lesser than the United States Food and Drug Administration approved reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. With a good sensitivity and specificity in the acute phase of infection, hepatitis C virus core-antigen-ELISA can thus be a useful alternative in the developing nations.

Abstract
The development and resolution of an inflammatory process is regulated by a complex interplay among cytokines that have pro- and anti-inflammatory effects. Regulatory mechanisms that control the production of cytokines include genetic polymorphism in particular promoter/leader region. Polymorphisms may directly or indirectly affect the binding of transcriptional factors, consequently increasing or decreasing the production of mRNA, thus regulating cytokine production. A total of 70 hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA-positive patients and 70 healthy control subjects were included in the present study, who were attending the medical outpatient department (OPD) and wards of a tertiary care hospital in New Delhi during 2006-2008. This study was designed to determine the polymorphism of tumor necrosis factor-α and interleukin-10 genes in patients with chronic HCV infection patients and their effect on pegylated interferon-α therapy response. Polymorphism in the tumor necrosis factor-α G/G, G/A, and A/A genotype was significant between HCV patients and healthy controls. Interleukin-10 variants (G/G, G/A) were nonsignificant among HCV patients compared with healthy controls. As this is a preliminary study on small sample size, we believe that our findings may stimulate further studies on larger number of patients from this geographic region.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES Hepatitis C virus (HCV) has emerged as a leading cause of chronic hepatitis, liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma worldwide. Genotyping and assessment of the viral load in HCV patients is important for designing the therapeutic strategies. Thus the present study was designed to determine the distribution pattern of HCV genotypes in chronic hepatitis patients and their association with the viral load and biochemical profiles. METHODS Seventy one HCV RNA positive patients were included in the study. HCV genotyping was carried out by restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) followed by the direct sequencing of the core region. Viral load estimation was carried out by Taqman real time PCR system. RESULTS Sixty three per cent (45/71) of cases were infected with genotype 3 followed by genotype 1 in 30.98 per cent (22/71) and genotype 2 in 5.63 per cent (4/71) of cases. Genotype 1 was associated with a significantly (P<0.001) higher viral load as compared to genotypes 3 and 2. There was no significant difference seen in the biochemical profile between the three groups of genotypes except in the levels of SGOT. The commonest mode of transmission was parenteral which accounted for 68 per cent of all the infected cases. INTERPRETATION & CONCLUSIONS The present study revealed that HCV genotype 3 and 1 accounted for approximately 95 per cent of the HCV infection in Delhi and surrounding areas. Also two atypical subtypes like 3i and 3f were identified. Genotype 1 was associated with more severity of liver disease as compared to genotypes 3 and 2 as assessed by viral load.

Abstract
A simple, inexpensive and effective genomic DNA isolation procedure for Lactobacillus isolates from traditional Indian fermented milk (dahi) is described. A total of 269 Lactobacillus isolates from fermented milk collected from four places in North and west India were tested for lysis by an initial weakening of the Gram positive cell wall with Ampicillin followed by Lysozyme treatment. The average genomic DNA yield was ~50 μg/ml log phase culture. Quality and repeatability of the method was found to be adequate for subsequent molecular applications. The quality of the genomic DNA isolated by this method was verified by restriction digestion and polymerase chain reaction (PCR). No inhibition was observed in subsequent PCR amplification and restriction digestion. The presented method is rapid, cheap and useful for routine DNA isolation from gram positive bacteria such as Lactobacillus.

Abstract
The cDNA sequence of leuteinizing hormone (LH) beta subunit was determined to understand the molecular basis for silent oestrus behavior and poor response to superovulation in buffalo. The LH-beta cDNA contains an open reading frame 426 bp long. The deduced sequence of the LH-beta is 141 amino acids in length. The amino acid sequences of the Indian river buffalo LH-beta subunit showed overall similarity to those of other mammals. The nucleotide sequence variability of LH-beta was studied in more than approximately 350 Indian buffaloes covering five different breeds. The results of the sequence analysis showed that the buffalo LH-beta gene is not highly conserved and non-synonymous mutations are not rare, at least in the samples collected randomly from five different breeds and buffalo populations. A total of seven different variants were obtained. In spite of its crucial role in reproduction, variation of the LH-beta gene was found present in this species. The polymorphisms found were unique in the Indian river buffalo population.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The nephrotic syndrome (NS) is associated with an increased risk of coronary heart disease. Increased oxidant stress may contribute to this by means of hyperlipidaemia and/or hypoalbuminaemia. In this study we assessed the contributory role of oxidant stress, as measured by F(2)-isoprostanes and plasma oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC), in subjects with NS. METHODS We studied 14 subjects with NS and 17 age- and sex-matched healthy non-proteinuric controls. Measurement of plasma and urinary F(2)-isoprostanes was carried out using a combination of silica and reverse-phase cartridges, high-performance liquid chromatography, and gas chromatography mass spectrometry using electron-capture negative ionization. The plasma ORAC assay measured the decrease in fluorescence of phycoerythrin added to plasma in the presence of a free-radical generator. The ORAC value (microM) was calculated as the ratio of the area under the fluorescence decay curve for plasma to the area under the fluorescence decay curve for a Trolox standard. RESULTS Plasma ORAC was significantly lower in NS patients compared with controls: mean (standard error) NS patients 3306 microM (286); controls 4882 microM (496), P=0.011. In univariate linear regression analysis, plasma albumin was significantly positively correlated with plasma ORAC (r=0.40, P=0.03). Plasma and urinary F(2)-isoprostanes did not differ significantly between NS and control groups. CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrates that in the NS there is decreased free-radical trapping capacity of plasma that is inversely correlated with hypoalbuminaemia, but no increase in plasma and urinary F(2)-isoprostanes. Decreased total plasma antioxidant potential in combination with hyperlipidaemia may contribute to the increased risk of cardiovascular disease seen in NS.

Abstract
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS We examined whether endothelial function is impaired in patients with Type I (insulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus under conditions of near-normoglycaemia compared with age-matched healthy control subjects. Our aim was to determine whether microalbuminuria is associated with endothelial dysfunction in Type I diabetes. METHODS Endothelial function, measured as post-ischaemic flow-mediated dilatation of the brachial artery using ultrasound, was compared among 17 microalbuminuric and 17 normoalbuminuric diabetic patients, and 17 control subjects. Glyceryl trinitrate-mediated dilatation of the brachial artery was used to measure endothelium-independent function. All diabetic patients were studied at near-normoglycaemia, using insulin and 5 % dextrose infusions to maintain blood glucose between 3.5 and 8.0 mmol/l. RESULTS Flow-mediated dilatation was significantly lower in microalbuminuric diabetic patients (3.2 +/- 0.3%) compared with normoalbuminuric diabetic patients (5.4 +/- 0.6%) and control subjects (7.9 +/- 0.6%, p < 0.001). Normoalbuminuric diabetic patients also had significantly lower flow-mediated dilatation than control subjects (p = 0.01). Glyceryl trinitrate mediated dilatation was significantly lower in the microalbuminuric patients compared with the control subjects (11.9 +/- 1.1% vs 20.0 +/- 1.2%, p = 0.001). Albumin excretion rate and glycated haemoglobin showed a significant negative independent correlation with flow-mediated dilatation (both p < 0.05). CONCLUSION/INTERPRETATION Type I diabetic patients show endothelial dysfunction at near-normoglycaemia compared with the control subjects, and this abnormality is more marked in diabetic patients with microalbuminuria. Endothelial dysfunction in Type I diabetes is related to the albumin excretion rate and glycaemic control. The presence of endothelial dysfunction in normoalbuminuric diabetic patients suggests it could precede microalbuminuria as an early risk marker for cardiovascular disease.
