ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION: Cervical cancer is the commonest cancer among Indian women. High-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) detection holds the potential to be used as a tool to identify women, at risk for subsequent development of cervical cancer. There is a pressing need for identifying prevalence of asymptomatic cervical HPV infection in the local population. OBJECTIVE: To determine the prevalence of high-risk HPV DNA in women with benign cervical cytology. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Women visiting the gynecology outpatient with varied complaints were subjected to Pap smear. Four hundred and seventy two samples were subjected to polymerase chain reaction, using consensus primers for low and high-risk HPV (types 6, 11, 16, 18, 31 and 33). The samples that were positive for HPV DNA were subsequently assessed for high-risk consensus primers, types 16, 18, 31 and 33 as well as for HPV type 16 and 18. RESULTS: One hundred and seventy four (36.8%) women tested positive for HPV DNA. Thirty nine (8.2%) of the entire cohort tested positive for high-risk HPV. Fifteen samples were positive for type 16, 22 for type 18 and two for both types 16 and 18. A statistically higher prevalence of high-risk HPV was observed in poorly educated and rural groups. No association of HPV prevalence was noted with age, parity and age at marriage. CONCLUSION: The study generates epidemiological data of prevalence of sub-clinical HPV in the women visiting a tertiary care institute as well as peripheral health centres. The data generated will be useful for laying guidelines for mass screening of HPV, treatment and prophylaxis in the local population.

ABSTRACT

In this study three cases of stiff knee of various aetiologies were treated by arthroscopic arthrofibrolysis and their functional outcome analysed. This technique proved to be the best modality for treating stiff knee due to intraarticular adhesions.

ABSTRACT

Oral administration of petroleum ether extract of Allium sativum, Allium cepa and ethylacetate extract of Commiphora mukul in albino rats significantly prevented rise in serum cholesterol and serum triglyceride level, caused by atherogenic diet. All the three agents were also found to confer significant protection against atherogenic diet induced atherosclerosis.

ABSTRACT

Hydrocortisone (HC) injection in rabbits induced eosinopoenia (reduction in absolute eosinophil count) which could be successfully abolished by beta--adrenoceptor antagonists, a propranolol, sotalol, practolol and H 35/25 but not by alpha--adrenoceptor antagonist, phenoxybenzamine. Reserpine per se produced eosinopoenia followed by eosinophilia. However, reserpine pretreatment failed to abolish HC-induced eosinopoenia. It is suggested that the eosinopoenia is mediated through beta--adrenoceptors, which could not be differentiated into beta 1/beta 2--adrenoceptor subtypes as has been possible for other beta-adrenoceptor mediated responses.
