Abstract
BACKGROUND Increased mitochondrial activities contributing to cancer cell proliferation, invasion, and metastasis have been reported in different cancers; however, studies on the therapeutic targeting of mitochondria in regulating cell proliferation and invasiveness are limited. Because mitochondria are believed to have evolved through bacterial invasion in mammalian cells, antibiotics could provide an alternative approach to target mitochondria, especially in cancers with increased mitochondrial activities. In this study, we investigated the therapeutic potential of bacteriostatic antibiotics in regulating the growth potential of colorectal cancer (CRC) cells, which differ in their metastatic potential and mitochondrial functions. METHODS A combination of viability, cell migration, and spheroid formation assays was used to measure the effect on metastatic potential. The effect on mitochondrial mechanisms was investigated by measuring mitochondrial DNA copy number by qPCR, biogenesis (by qPCR and immunoblotting), and functions by measuring reactive oxygen species, membrane potential, and ATP using standard methods. In addition, the effect on assembly and activities of respiratory chain (RC) complexes was determined using blue native gel electrophoresis and in-gel assays, respectively). Changes in metastatic and cell death signaling were measured by immunoblotting with specific marker proteins and compared between CRC cells. RESULTS Both tigecycline and tetracycline effectively reduced the viability, migration, and spheroid-forming capacity of highly metastatic CRC cells. This increased sensitivity was attributed to reduced mtDNA content, mitochondrial biogenesis, ATP content, membrane potential, and increased oxidative stress. Specifically, complex I assembly and activity were significantly inhibited by these antibiotics in high-metastatic cells. Significant down-regulation in the expression of mitochondrial-mediated survival pathways, such as phospho-AKT, cMYC, phospho-SRC, and phospho-FAK, and upregulation in cell death (apoptosis and autophagy) were observed, which contributed to the enhanced sensitivity of highly metastatic CRC cells toward these antibiotics. In addition, the combined treatment of the CRC chemotherapeutic agent oxaliplatin with tigecycline/tetracycline at physiological concentrations effectively sensitized these cells at early time points. CONCLUSION Altogether, our study reports that bacterial antibiotics, such as tigecycline and tetracycline, target mitochondrial functions specifically mitochondrial complex I architecture and activity and would be useful in combination with cancer chemotherapeutics for high metastatic conditions.

Abstract
Tumors are composed of heterogeneous populations of dysregulated cells that grow in specialized niches that support their growth and maintain their properties. Tumor heterogeneity and metastasis are among the major hindrances that exist while treating cancer patients, leading to poor clinical outcomes. Although the factors that determine tumor complexity remain largely unknown, several genotypic and phenotypic changes, including DNA mutations and metabolic reprograming provide cancer cells with a survival advantage over host cells and resistance to therapeutics. Furthermore, the presence of a specific population of cells within the tumor mass, commonly known as cancer stem cells (CSCs), is thought to initiate tumor formation, maintenance, resistance, and recurrence. Therefore, these CSCs have been investigated in detail recently as potential targets to treat cancer and prevent recurrence. Understanding the molecular mechanisms involved in CSC proliferation, self-renewal, and dormancy may provide important clues for developing effective therapeutic strategies. Autophagy, a catabolic process, has long been recognized to regulate various physiological and pathological processes. In addition to regulating cancer cells, recent studies have identified a critical role for autophagy in regulating CSC functions. Autophagy is activated under various adverse conditions and promotes cellular maintenance, survival, and even cell death. Thus, it is intriguing to address whether autophagy promotes or inhibits CSC functions and whether autophagy modulation can be used to regulate CSC functions, either alone or in combination. This review describes the roles of autophagy in the regulation of metabolic functions, proliferation and quiescence of CSCs, and its role during therapeutic stress. The review further highlights the autophagy-associated pathways that could be used to regulate CSCs. Overall, the present review will help to rationalize various translational approaches that involve autophagy-mediated modulation of CSCs in controlling cancer progression, metastasis, and recurrence.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A dysregulation of cholesterol homeostasis is often seen in various cancer cell types, and elevated cholesterol content and that of its metabolites appears to be crucial for cancer progression and metastasis. Cholesterol is a precursor of various steroid hormones and a key plasma membrane component especially in lipid-rafts, also modulating many intracellular signaling pathways. METHODS To provide an insight of dysregulated cholesterol regulatory genes, their transcript levels were analyzed in different cancers and their influence was correlated with the overall survival of cancer patients using cancer database analysis. RESULTS This analysis found a set of genes (e.g., ACAT1, RXRA, SOAT1 and SQLE) that were not only often dysregulated, but also had been associated with poorer overall survival in most cancer types. Quantitative reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction analysis revealed elevated SQLE and SOAT1 transcript levels and downregulated expression of RXRA and ACAT1 genes in triple negative breast cancer tissues compared to adjacent control tissues, indicating that this dysregulated expression of the gene signature is a diagnostic marker for breast cancer. CONCLUSION For the first time, the present study identified a gene signature associated with the dysregulation of cholesterol homeostasis in cancer cells that may not only be used as a diagnostic marker, but also comprise a promising drug target for the advancement of cancer therapy.

Abstract
Changes in mitochondrial DNA (mt-DNA) copy number in blood/tissue have been linked to increased risk of several cancers; however, studies on their association in breast cancer is still lacking. In this pilot study, we investigated mt-DNA copy number variation in peripheral blood and tissue samples from metastatic breast cancer patients and compared their differences. For the study, peripheral blood samples from non-cancer individuals (control) and breast cancer patients, along with resected tissues from adjacent and tumor sites from same breast cancer patients were collected. Total genomic DNA was isolated and changes in mt-DNA copy number were measured by relative quantification using SYBR green based quantitative real time PCR method. Our results indicated a significant reduction in mt-DNA copy number in blood samples of breast cancer patients compared to control. However, a significantly higher mt-DNA copy number was observed in tumor tissue when compared with paired non tumor tissue. There was no significant difference in mt-DNA copy number between blood and adjacent tumor tissue samples of the breast cancer patients. Overall, our study reports for the first time a comparison of mt-DNA copy number in blood and paired tissue together and suggested that mt-DNA copy number is differentially regulated in blood and tumor tissues in breast cancer.

Abstract
Glioblastoma is highly recurrent and aggressive tumor with poor prognosis where existence of glioma stem cell (GSCs) population is well established. The GSCs display stem cell properties such as self-renewable, proliferation and therapeutic resistance which contribute to its role in tumor progression, metastasis and recurrence. Cancer stem cells (CSCs) can also be induced from non-stem cancer cells in response to radio/chemotherapy that further contribute to cancer relapse post therapy. Role of autophagy has been implicated in the existence of CSCs in different cancers; however, its role in GSCs is still unclear. Moreover, since autophagy is induced in response to various chemotherapeutic agents, it becomes imperative to understand the role of autophagy in therapy-induced pool of CSCs. Here, we investigated the role of autophagy in the maintenance of GSCs and temozolomide (TMZ)-induced therapeutic response. Glioblastoma cell lines (U87MG, LN229) were cultured as monolayer as well as GSC enriched tumorspheres and sub-spheroid population. Our results demonstrated that the tumorspheres maintained higher level of autophagy than the monolayer cells and inhibition of autophagy significantly reduced the percentage of GSCs and their self-renewal capacity. Further, TMZ at clinically relevant concentration resulted in an induction of survival autophagy in glioblastoma cells. We also observed that TMZ treatment significantly increased the expression of GSC markers, suggesting an increased pool of GSCs. Importantly, inhibition of autophagy prevented this TMZ-induced increased GSC population, suggesting a critical role for autophagy in therapy-induced generation of GSC pool. Overall, our findings revealed; i) higher levels of autophagy in GSCs; ii) TMZ induces protective autophagy and up-regulates pool of GSCs; and iii) inhibition of autophagy prevents TMZ-induced GSCs pool suggesting its role regulating GSC population in response to chemotherapy. Our study signifies a positive contribution of autophagy in survival of GSCs which implicates the use of autophagy inhibitors in a combinational approach to target TMZ-induced GSCs for developing effective therapeutic strategies. Further efforts are required to study the role of autophagy in therapy- induced GSC pool in other cancer types for its broad therapeutic implication.

Abstract
Mitochondria serve a vital role in cellular homeostasis as they regulate cell proliferation and death pathways, which are attributed to mitochondrial bioenergetics, free radicals and metabolism. Alterations in mitochondrial functions have been reported in various diseases, including cancer. Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common metastatic cancer types with high mortality rates. Although mitochondrial oxidative stress has been associated with CRC, its specific mechanism and contribution to metastatic progression remain poorly understood. Therefore, the aims of the present study were to investigate the role of mitochondria in CRC cells with low and high metastatic potential and to evaluate the contribution of mitochondrial respiratory chain (RC) complexes in oncogenic signaling pathways. The present results demonstrated that cell lines with low metastatic potential were resistant to mitochondrial complex I (C-I)-mediated oxidative stress, and had C-I inhibition with impaired mitochondrial functions. These adaptations enabled cells to cope with higher oxidative stress. Conversely, cells with high metastatic potential demonstrated functional C-I with improved mitochondrial function due to coordinated upregulation of mitochondrial biogenesis and metabolic reprogramming. Pharmacological inhibition of C-I in high metastatic cells resulted in increased sensitivity to cell death and decreased metastatic signaling. The present findings identified the differential regulation of mitochondrial functions in CRC cells, based on CRC metastatic potential. Specifically, it was suggested that a functional C-I is required for high metastatic features of cancer cells, and the role of C-I could be further examined as a potential target in the development of novel therapies for diagnosing high metastatic cancer types.

Abstract
Montane systems, formed by a series of climatic oscillations and temporal topographic metamorphoses, have broken up the contiguous distribution of widespread species and accelerated allopatric speciation. We used a partial fragment of the mitochondrial cytochrome b (cytb) gene to address speciation across the entire range of the Siberian ibex Capra sibirica. We demonstrated that the Siberian ibex is a polytypic species, plausibly formed by a combination of at least 2 species and/or 3 to 4 sub-species. Bayesian phylogeny showed that the Indian-Tajikistan (I-T) clade is adequately diverged from the other clades based on the mean intra-specific distance criterion, and warrants recognition as a distinct species. We provide pragmatic evidence for the endorsement of the I-T clade as a distinct species of Siberian ibex and urge prioritization of the conservation of this species at global and regional scales.

Abstract
Leber's hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON) is a classical mitochondrial disease caused by mutations in the mitochondrial DNA encoding complex I subunits. Oxidative stress associated with complex I defect has been implicated in developing LHON phenotype such as retinal ganglion cell (RGC) death and loss of vision. However, the mechanism of LHON pathogenesis is still not very clear and thus no effective therapies are available to date. Using cybrid models for LHON, we show that autophagy is significantly compromised in cells carrying LHON-specific mtDNA mutations, which results in reduced clearance of dysfunctional mitochondria contributing to cell death. We further show that pharmacological activation of autophagy selectively clears the damaged mitochondria and thus repairs mitochondrial defects and improves overall cell survival in LHON cell models. Our results suggest that compromised autophagy is the missing link from oxidative stress to LHON pathogenesis. Activation of mitophagy ameliorates mitochondrial defects and exerts a protective role by improving cell survival in cells carrying LHON mutations that could be utilized as a potential therapeutic target for LHON treatment.

Abstract
Effect of cryogenic grinding on recovery of volatile oil, fatty oil percentage and their constituents in two cumin (Cuminum cyminum L.) genotypes have been analyzed. Cryogenic grinding not only retains the volatiles but enhanced the recovery by 33.9 % in GC 4 and 43.5 % in RZ 209. A significant increase (29.9 %) over normal grinding in oil percentage was also observed in genotype RZ 209. This increase was, however, less (15.4 %) in genotype GC 4. Nineteen major compounds were identified in the essential oil of both genotypes. The two grinding techniques had significant effects on dependent variables, viz., volatile oil and monoterpenes. Cuminaldehyde was the main constituent in both genotypes, content of which increased from 48.2 to 56.1 % in GC 4 on cryo grinding. Content of terpines were found to decrease in cryo ground samples of GC 4 and either decrease or no change was found in RZ 209. Organoleptic test showed more pleasant aroma in cryo ground seeds of both the genotypes. Significant increase was also reported in fatty oil yield due to cryogenic grinding. Fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) analysis showed oleic acid as major FAME content of which increased from 88.1 to 94.9 % in RZ 209 and from 88.2 to 90.1 % in GC 4 on cryogenic grinding. Other prominent FAME were palmitic, palmitoleic and stearic acid. Results indicated commercial potential of cryogenic grinding technology for cumin in general and spices in particular for better retention of flavour and quality in spices.

Abstract
Mitochondrial respiratory chain defects have been associated with various diseases and with normal aging, particularly in tissues with high energy demands, including brain and skeletal muscle. Tissue-specific manifestation of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) mutations and mitochondrial dysfunction are hallmarks of mitochondrial diseases although the underlying mechanisms are largely unclear. Previously, we and others have established approaches for transferring mtDNA from muscle and synaptosomes of mice at various ages to cell cultures. In this study, we carried out a comprehensive bioenergetic analysis of cells bearing mitochondria derived from young, middle-aged, and old mouse skeletal muscles and synaptosomes. Significant age-associated alterations in oxidative phosphorylation and regulation during aging were observed in cybrids carrying mitochondria from both skeletal muscle and synaptosomes. Our results also revealed that loss of oxidative phosphorylation capacity may occur at various ages in muscle and brain. These findings indicate the existence of a tissue-specific regulatory mechanism for oxidative phosphorylation.

Abstract
Previously, we have shown that a heteroplasmic mutation in mitochondrial DNA-encoded complex I ND5 subunit gene resulted in an enhanced tumorigenesis through increased resistance to apoptosis. Here we report that the tumorigenic phenotype associated with complex I dysfunction could be reversed by introducing a yeast NADH quinone oxidoreductase (NDI1) gene. The NDI1 mediated electron transfer from NADH to Co-Q, bypassed the defective complex I and restored oxidative phosphorylation in the host cells. Alternatively, suppression of complex I activity by a specific inhibitor, rotenone or induction of oxidative stress by paraquat led to an increase in the phosphorylation of v-AKT murine thymoma viral oncogene (AKT) and enhanced the tumorigenesis. On the other hand, antioxidant treatment can ameliorate the reactive oxygen species-mediated AKT activation and reverse the tumorigenicity of complex I-deficient cells. Our results suggest that complex I defects could promote tumorigenesis through induction of oxidative stress and activation of AKT pathway.

Abstract
Mitochondrial respiratory chain defects have been associated with various diseases and normal aging, particularly in tissues with high energy demands including skeletal muscle. Muscle-specific mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) mutations have also been reported to accumulate with aging. Our understanding of the molecular processes mediating altered mitochondrial gene expression to dysfunction associated with mtDNA mutations in muscle would be greatly enhanced by our ability to transfer muscle mtDNA to established cell lines. Here, we report the successful generation of mouse cybrids carrying skeletal muscle mtDNA. Using this novel approach, we performed bioenergetic analysis of cells bearing mtDNA derived from young and old mouse skeletal muscles. A significant decrease in oxidative phosphorylation coupling and regulation capacity has been observed with cybrids carrying mtDNA from skeletal muscle of old mice. Our results also revealed decrease growth capacity and cell viability associated with the mtDNA derived from muscle of old mice. These findings indicate that a decline in mitochondrial function associated with compromised mtDNA quality during aging leads to a decrease in both the capacity and regulation of oxidative phosphorylation.

Abstract
Mitochondrial alteration has been long proposed to play a major role in tumorigenesis. Recently, mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) mutations have been found in a variety of cancer cells. In this study, we examined the contribution of mtDNA mutation and mitochondrial dysfunction in tumorigenesis first using human cell lines carrying a frame-shift at NADH dehydrogenase (respiratory complex I) subunit 5 gene (ND5); the same homoplasmic mutation was also identified in a human colorectal cancer cell line earlier. With increasing mutant ND5 mtDNA content, respiratory function including oxygen consumption and ATP generation through oxidative phosphorylation declined progressively, while lactate production and dependence on glucose increased. Interestingly, the reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels and apoptosis exhibited antagonistic pleiotropy associated with mitochondrial defects. Furthermore, the anchorage-dependence phenotype and tumor-forming capacity of cells carrying wild-type and mutant mtDNA were tested by growth assay in soft agar and subcutaneous implantation of the cells in nude mice. Surprisingly, the cell line carrying the heteroplasmic ND5 mtDNA mutation showed significantly enhanced tumor growth, while cells with homoplasmic form of the same mutation inhibited tumor formation. Similar results were obtained from the analysis of a series of mouse cell lines carrying a nonsense mutation at ND5 gene. Our results indicate that the mtDNA mutations might play an important role in the early stage of cancer development, possibly through alteration of ROS generation and apoptosis.

Abstract
Sterol glycosyltransferases catalyze the synthesis of diverse glycosterols in plants. Withania somnifera is a medically important plant, known for a variety of pharmacologically important withanolides and their glycosides. In this study, a novel 27beta-hydroxy glucosyltransferase was purified to near homogeneity from cytosolic fraction of W. somnifera leaves and studied for its biochemical and kinetic properties. The purified enzyme showed activity with UDP-glucose but not with UDP-galactose as sugar donor. It exhibited broad sterol specificity by glucosylating a variety of sterols/withanolides with beta-OH group at C-17, C-21 and C-27 positions. It transferred glucose to the alkanol at C-25 position of the lactone ring, provided an alpha-OH was present at C-17 in the sterol skeleton. A comparable enzyme has not been reported earlier from plants. The enzyme is distinct from the previously purified W. somnifera 3beta-hydroxy specific sterol glucosyltransferase and does not glucosylate the sterols at C-3 position; though it also follows an ordered sequential bisubstrate reaction mechanism, in which UDP-glucose and sterol are the first and second binding substrates. The enzyme activity with withanolides suggests its role in secondary metabolism in W. somnifera. Results on peptide mass fingerprinting showed its resemblance with glycuronosyltransferase like protein. The enzyme activity in the leaves of W. somnifera was enhanced following the application of salicylic acid. In contrast, it decreased rapidly on exposure of the plants to heat shock, suggesting functional role of the enzyme in biotic and abiotic stresses.

Abstract
Sterol glycosides are constituents of plant cell membranes. Glucosylations of the sterols are catalyzed by sterol glucosyltransferases (SGTs), which are members of family 1 glycosyltransferases. We have identified the family of SGT genes expressed in the leaves of a medicinal plant Withania somnifera. One member (SGTL1) of this gene family was cloned. The full-length cDNA sequence of SGTL1 represents 2532 bp, comprising untranslated regions (UTRs) of 337 and 89 bp at the 5' and 3' ends, respectively. The amino acid sequence deduced from the 2103 bp open reading frame (ORF) showed homology (67-45%) to the reported plant SGTs. The presence of two putative transmembrane domains suggested the association of SGTL1 with membrane. The SGTL1 was expressed in Escherichia coli and recombinant enzyme from the supernatant was partially purified and biochemically characterized. The relative activity and kinetic properties of SGTL1 for different sterols were compared with a recombinant SGT (GenBank Accession No. Z83833) of Arabidopsis thaliana (AtSGT). Both the recombinant enzymes showed activity with 3-beta-OH sterols. The distribution of SGTL1 transcript in W. somnifera, as determined by quantitative PCR, showed higher expression in roots and mature leaves. Expression of the SGTL1 transcript in the leaves of W. somnifera was enhanced following the application of salicylic acid. In contrast, it decreased rapidly on exposure of the plants to heat shock, suggesting functional role of the enzyme in biotic and abiotic stresses.

Abstract
Sterol glycosyltransferases catalyze the synthesis of diverse glycosteroids in plants, leading to a change in their participation in cellular metabolism. Withania somnifera is a medically important plant, known for a variety of pharmacologically important withanolides and their glycosides. In this study, a cytosolic sterol glucosyltransferase was purified 3406 fold to near homogeneity from W. somnifera leaves and studied for its biochemical and kinetic properties. The purified enzyme was active with UDP-glucose but not with UDP-galactose as sugar donor. It exhibited broad sterol specificity by glucosylating a variety of sterols and phytosterols with 3beta-OH group. It showed a low level of activity with flavonoids and isoflavonoids. The enzyme gave maximum K(cat)/K(m) value (0.957) for 24-methylenecholesterol that resembles aglycone structure of pharmacologically important sitoindosides VII and VIII from W. somnifera. The enzyme follows ordered sequential bisubstrate mechanism of reaction, in which UDP-glucose and sterol are the first and second binding substrates. This is the first detailed kinetic study on purified plant cytosolic sterol glucosyltransferases. Results on peptide mass fingerprinting and substrate specificity suggested that the enzyme belongs to the family of secondary metabolite glucosylating glucosyltransferases. The enzyme activity exhibited a rapid in vivo response to high temperature and salicylic acid treatment of plants, suggesting its physiological role in abiotic and biotic stress.

Abstract
The classical Hadfield's operation for duct ectasia/periductal mastitis results in nipple anaesthesia in most women and nipple/areola necrosis in some patients. To obviate these two complications we have modified the technique of major duct excision. The incision is given over only one-third of areolar circumference and no areolar flap is raised. In the 17 women treated by this technique the cosmetic results were good in all of them with no nipple/areola necrosis. The nipple sensation was preserved in all cases. There was only one case of recurrence of nipple discharge. The technique offers a safer alternative to the classical Hadfield's operation.

Abstract
A 14 year old girl with bilateral genu valgum of 6 years duration was brought for evaluation of primary hyperparathyroidism. She had clinical features of rickets such as frontal bossing, rachitic rosary, lumbar lordosis and fixed adduction deformity of the left leg. She had undergone osteotomy earlier for correction of these deformities without benefit. Laboratory investigations showed hypercalcaemia and hypophosphataemia, with elevated alkaline phosphatase and parathyroid hormone levels. A skeletal survey showed generalized decreased density of bone and brown tumours and, coincidentally, a right renal calculus. A computerized tomography scan of the neck and thallium-technetium subtraction scan delineated an adenoma of the left superior parathyroid gland, which was surgically removed. Parathyroid adenoma manifesting with bone deformities, especially genu valgum, is very rare in children. Early diagnosis and prompt treatment is essential to prevent such deformities.

Abstract
Twenty eight patients of sporadic primary hyperparathyroidism seen over a period of 10 years were studied. There were 18 females and 10 males with a mean age of 35.9 years. Bone involvement was the commonest clinical presentation (90%) followed by renal involvement (65%) and more than half the patients (54%) had involvement of both the skeletal and renal systems. The tumor was clinically palapable in six patients. Thalliumtechnetium subtraction scan had a sensitivity of 87% followed by computerised tomography (70%), and ultrasound (65%) in diagnosing parathyroid pathology. All the patients underwent surgical excision of the abnormal gland (S). Adenomas constituted the single largest group (90%). Histologically, only 32% of the patients had chief cell morphology. Clear cell (32%) mixed cell, and oxyphil cell (7.2%) types accounted for the remaining adenomas. Majority of the patients (82%) had symptomatic postoperative hypocalcemia requiring intravenous calcium with or without vitamin D supplementation. In contrast to western reports most of our patients were young, presented late with florid bone and renal disease and had large palpable tumors.

Abstract
To assess the feasibility and advantages of short-stay surgery in India, a policy of early discharge was adopted for 386 patients undergoing various major and minor operations. The mean postoperative and total hospital stays of patients admitted for minor surgery were 1.9 and 3.7 days respectively; the corresponding figures for age- and sex-matched historical controls were 7.4 and 11.3 days. The mean postoperative and total stays of patients who had undergone major surgery were 4.1 and 8.0 days respectively; the corresponding control values were 8.9 and 12.5 days. The use of absorbable subcuticular skin sutures helped to shorten postoperative hospital stay and avoided an extra follow-up visit. The overall complication rate in the study group was 9.6 per cent and in historical controls 13.4 per cent (P > 0.05). A total of 2357 hospital bed-days were saved during the study and 95.6 per cent of patients approved of short-stay surgery.

Abstract
Introduction of 'silent' exocrine atrophy (and endocrine 'enrichment') in pancreatic grafts following ductular blockade may have a role in human diabetes by circumventing currently elusive islet isolation/purification protocols. To explore this potential, pancreatic isografts were performed in 12 pairs of inbred Wistar NIN rats. Donor pancreatectomy was performed after distal clamping and canulation of common bile duct and injection of 0.5 ml. polyacrylamide gel (blocked n = 7) or normal saline (un-blocked n = 5) respectively. One to 2 m.m. fragments of the resulting mildly distended pancreases were transplanted in to 2 sites (renal capsule and iliac fossa subcutaneously) of cach recipient. Post-operative biopsies of the transplanted grafts (unilateral nephrectomy and iliac fossa biopsies) revealed macroscopic and microscopic evidence of necrotizing pancreatitis in both the groups at both the sites (histiocytic and giant cell infiltration, fat necrosis and focal calcification with destruction of exocrine and endocrine cells) as early as 1 and 3 weeks. Possible detrimental factors include: volume and pressure of ductal injection, graft sites (confined spaces), post-operative wound infection and bio-compatibility of the material used for ductular blockade.

Abstract
Angiosarcoma of the breast is a rare and aggressively malignant tumour. A case of a young lady presenting with bilateral mammary angiosarcoma and associated pregnancy is reported. Only one such case is documented in the literature. Existing literature is also reviewed. The often deceptively benign histological appearances which are extremely variable demand serious suspicion of angiosarcoma when confronted with an angiomatous lesion of the breast. Early and complete surgical excision is the treatment of choice, and adjuvant chemotherapy may have a role in the treatment. Histological grading is the most important prognostic factor with poor grades having an unfavourable outlook.

Abstract
Levamisole administered by oral, subcutaneous or transdermal routes following vaccination against Pasteurella multocida enhanced the humoral response in cross-bred calves. The group that received levamisole subcutaneously elicited highly significant (P less than 0.01) antibody titres during the primary humoral response in comparison with groups that received levamisole orally or transdermally. During the secondary response in the same experiment, levamisole administered subcutaneously and transdermally showed highly significant (P less than 0.01) haemagglutination titres relative to oral administration of the drug. In a second experiment, the group that received levamisole subcutaneously showed highly significant (P less than 0.01) antibody titres during the anamnestic humoral response over other treated groups.

Abstract
The presence of two types of fast myoelectrical activities, medium fast activity and fast activity, has been demonstrated previously in the electromyogram of colon in normal children and in the rat by the authors. An absence of medium fast activity in Hirschsprung's disease and in experimental aganglionosis of colon in the rat has also been described. In the present study the fast components of colonic myoelectrical activity were analysed during the procedures affecting ganglionic transmission. It was observed that ganglionic stimulants, such as balloon inflation, and intra-arterial injections of acetylcholine and small amounts of nicotine, increased the spike activity and the frequency of medium fast activity without affecting fast activity. The intra-arterial injections of ganglionic blocking agents, such as nicotine in large amounts and pentolinium tartrate, completely abolished the medium fast activity. These observations suggest that the ganglionic activity is responsible for the genesis of medium fast activity and that the absence of cholinergic ganglionic transmission is the most important single factor for the reported altered electromyogram pattern in aganglionosis.

Abstract
By radioisotope technique, we studied the emptying function of the vagotomized intrathoracic stomach after esophagectomy for carcinoma of the esophagus in 24 patients, and compared it with the preoperative emptying function. The patients were randomized into a control group (no pyloroplasty) and a study group (pyloroplasty). Gastric emptying was delayed in both groups, postoperatively; however, the delay was greater in the control group than in the study group. Therefore, vagotomy delays the emptying of the thoracic stomach, and this delay is not completely corrected by pyloroplasty.

Abstract
A retrospective review of 143 cases of carcinoma of the gall bladder is presented. The disease was more common in females in the 5th and 6th decades. Pain, anorexia, weight loss and jaundice were the common presenting symptoms, and hepatomegaly and palpable gall bladder the common signs. Laboratory and radiological investigations were merely confirmatory as the diagnosis in a majority of the cases was clinically obvious. Aspiration cytology and laparoscopic biopsy were of help in obtaining histological diagnosis. Only 47 patients were considered fit enough to undergo laparotomy. In a majority of these patients biopsy alone was possible while palliative procedures were performed in the others. The operative mortality was 18% even in this selected group of patients, due to the poor general condition and the advanced stage of the disease at the time of diagnosis. Curative resection may be possible and long term survival is expected in incidentally found carcinoma at cholecystectomy. The only hope lies in prevention by prompt treatment of patients with benign biliary disease.

Abstract
Seventy-two out of 1,325 consecutive pediatric patients (5.43%) developed an operative wound infection in a general pediatric surgery unit. The wound infection rate was observed to be highest in neonates (13.75%) as compared with the children over 5 years of age (2.93%). The increased susceptibility of newborns to wound infection was found to be statistically significant. Patients operated for gastrointestinal problems and solid abdominal neoplasms had the highest wound infection rate.

Abstract
Results of peritoneoscopy performed under local anesthesia were reviewed in 43 consecutive patients with predominantly extrahepatic disease. Patients with previous laparotomy scars and poor general condition were not refused the benefits of this procedure. Diagnostic accuracy was 84%. Histologic diagnosis was achieved in 42% of patients and cholecystocholangiography under peritoneoscopic guidance in two jaundiced patients. Laparotomy was avoided in 65% of patients, and peritoneoscopy correctly assessed local extent of gastric neoplasia in 76% (16/21). Complications were insignificant. Peritoneoscopy under local anesthesia is a quick, accurate, economic, and safe method for evaluating extrahepatic abdominal disease.
