ABSTRACT

To study the influence of season on oxidative status of buffalo semen and their association with semen characteristics and seminal plasma proteins, ejaculates were collected twice a week in winter, summer and rainy seasons from six adult Bhadawari buffalo bulls. The neat semen was analyzed for semen characteristics immediately after collection and oxidative status viz. lipid peroxidation [LPO], catalase [CAT], super oxide dismutase [SOD] activity, and total protein [TP] were estimated in seminal plasma. The protein profiling was carried out by one-dimensional sodium dodecyl sulphate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis [SDS-PAGE]. The significant effect of season was observed on TP, SOD activity and % protein fractions of seminal plasma proteins of buffalo bulls. The TP values showed positive correlation with ejaculate volume [EV], sperm concentration [SC], and % live-dead [LD] and negative correlation with progressive motility [PM], and hypo-osmotic swelling test [HOST]. The SOD activity showed positive correlation with PM, LD, HOST and % acrosoamal integrity [AI]. Besides that, results showed correlation of TP with 6.5, 38 and 66 kDa proteins, LPO with 70, 72, 84 and 86 kDa proteins, CAT with 70 kDa and 86 kDa proteins, and SOD with 6.5, 24.5, 44.5, 70 and 72 kDa proteins. In conclusion, this study indicated that TP and SOD activity of seminal plasma of buffalo bulls were influenced by season and were found to be associated with some of the semen characteristics and expression of seminal plasma proteins

ABSTRACT

Importance of repairing a diaphragmatic tear due to a missile injury cannot be overemphasized.Even a small diaphragmatic rent should be repaired because of morbidity and mortality caused by subsequent herniation and strangulation. Fifty-three cases with diaphragmatic injuries caused by penetrating missiles were studied from January 1997 to January 2007. All the patients were primarily explored either for thoracic or abdominal penetrating trauma; the diaphragmatic injury was an associated incidental intraoperative finding. Thoracotomy was performed in 18 patients, Laprotomy in 33 patients and in two patients combined thorocoabdominal approach was utilised for managing associated visceral injuries. Overall mortality was 37.7%. Mortality was dependent on associated injuries of thoracic and abdominal viscera. Most patients died due to associated injuries and septicaemia. None of the patients had any sequelae of diaphragmatic repair. Immediate repair of diaphragmatic injury is of paramount importance to prevent subsequent complications of herniation and strangulation

ABSTRACT

Myxomas are the most common type of cardiac tumours in all age groups accounting for one-third to one-half of cases at postmortem and for about three quarter of tumours treated surgically. Most atrial myxomas, whether left or right, arise from the atrial sptum. About 10% have other sites of origin, particularly posterior wall, anterior wall and the appendages [in order of frequency]. Myxomas are frequently located in left atrium and produce symptoms when they fragment and cause systemic emboli or when they interfere with cardiac valvular function and cause pulmonary congestion. Careful surgical management of these lesions should be curative with minimal early and late morbidity and mortality. Recurrence of atrial myxomas can occur most likely in about 3% of patients. However, extensive resection of the myxoma attached to atrial septum or atrial wall can reduce the likehood of recurrence to a greater extent. Long term clinical and echocardiographic follow-up is mandatory
