ABSTRACT
Abstract Combining ability analysis provides useful information for the selection of parents, also information regarding the nature and magnitude of involved gene actions. Crops improvement involves strategies for enhancing yield potentiality and quality components. Targeting the improvement of respective characters in bitter gourd, combining ability and genetic parameters for 19 characters were estimated from a 6×6 full diallel analysis technique. The results revealed that the variances due to general combining ability (GCA) and specific combining ability (SCA) were highly significant for most of the important characters. It indicated the importance of both additive and non-additive gene actions. GCA variances were higher in magnitude than SCA variances for all the characters studied indicating the predominance of the additive gene effects in their inheritance. The parent P2 (BG 009) appeared as the best general combiner for earliness; P1 (BG 006) for number of fruits, average single fruit weight and fruit yield; P4 (BG 027) for node number of first female flower and days to seed fruit maturity; P3 (BG 011) for fruit length and thickness of the fruit flesh; P5 (BG 033) for 100-seed weight; and P6 for number of nodes per main vine. The SCA effect as well as reciprocal effect was also significant for most of the important characters in different crosses.
Resumo A análise da capacidade de combinação fornece informações úteis para a seleção dos pais, também informações sobre a natureza e a magnitude das ações dos genes envolvidos. A melhoria das safras envolve estratégias para aumentar a potencialidade da produção e os componentes de qualidade. Visando ao aprimoramento dos respectivos caracteres em cabaça-amarga, capacidade de combinação e parâmetros genéticos para 19 caracteres, foram estimados a partir de uma técnica de análise dialélica completa 6 × 6. Os resultados revelaram que as variâncias, devido à capacidade geral de combinação (GCA) e capacidade específica de combinação (SCA), foram altamente significativas para a maioria dos caracteres importantes. Indicou a importância das ações gênicas aditivas e não aditivas. As variâncias GCA foram maiores em magnitude do que as variâncias SCA para todos os caracteres estudados, indicando a predominância dos efeitos do gene aditivo em sua herança. O pai P2 (BG 009) apareceu como o melhor combinador geral para o início; P1 (BG 006) para número de frutos, peso médio de um único fruto e produção de frutos; P4 (BG 027) para número de nó da primeira flor fêmea e dias para a maturidade do fruto da semente; P3 (BG 011) para comprimento do fruto e espessura da polpa do fruto; P5 (BG 033) para peso de 100 sementes; e P6 para o número de nós por videira principal. O efeito SCA, bem como o efeito recíproco, também foi significativo para a maioria dos personagens importantes em cruzamentos diferentes.

Introduction: Calcaneal fractures continues to be a topic ofcontroversy in terms of the optimal management modality.Current study aimed to access the sinus tarsi approach forthe fixation of calcaneal fractures in terms of radiological andfunctional results.Material and Methods: Study was conducted on 30 patientsof both genders aged between 20 and 60 years with both jointdepression and tongue type fractures, Sanders type 2 and type3 fractures.Results: In our study, as per AOFAS Scale at 3 months, 19(63.33%) calcaneum cases fell into the excellent group, 9 (30%)into good and 2(6.66%) into poor result group. The Mean ±SDAOFAS scale was 78.43±7.17 (range 55-85). At 6 months, theresult as per AOFAS scale showed further improvement with 28(93.33%) calcaneum cases falling into the excellent group and 2(6.66%) falling into the good result group. None of them fell inpoor group at 6 months follow up. The Mean ±SD AOFAS scalewas 90.03±5.24 (range 74-95).Conclusion: Fixation with plate using MIPPO techniquethrough sinus tarsi approach is an effective and safe methodwith good clinical and radiological results, for the treatmentof calcaneal fractures; to achieve anatomical restoration undervision, stable fixation and early mobilization with minimal softtissue complications.
ABSTRACT
Giant condyloma (Buschke-Loewenstein tumour) is a rare disease that commonly affects the urogenital area. We encountered an eighteen year old, nonhomosexual, HIV negative, male, who presented with a cauliflower like warty mass around perianal region. The mass was 8×6 cm in size, circumferential, soft and papillary in nature. Wide excision of mass was carried out with anoplasty reconstruction. Post-operatively, wound healing was uneventful. After wound healing, the topical applications of five percent imiquimod were done regularly under the care of dermatologist for three months. At six months of follow-up, patient is free from tumour, and is having neither signs of anal stenosis nor incontinence.

Objective To study the expression of STK15 in the young patients with esophageal carcinoma and gastric cardia adenocarcinoma in Henan Province, Northern China and to further understand the mechanism of esophageal and gastric cardia carcinogenesis. Methods STK15 expression was detected by immunohistochemical method (ABC) in 54 SCC and 43 GCA patients. Results The positive rate of STK15 in SCC (39% , 21/54) was lower than that in GCA (63 % , 27/43 ), and the difference was significant (P
