RESUMO
A hospital-based retrospective study on a sample of 228 nurses involved in patient care, in two medical college hospitals of West Bengal, showed that 61.4% of them sustained at least one Needle Stick Injury (NSI) in last 12 months. The risk of such injuries per 1000 nurses per year was found to be 3,280. Out of the most recent injuries among 140 nurses, 92.9% remained unreported to appropriate authorities; in 52.9% events hand gloves were worn by the nurses; only 5% of those nurses received hepatitis B vaccine, 2.1% hepatitis B immunoglobulin and none of them received post exposure prophylaxis for HIV.

Mammary sarcomas are uncommon tumours. Of these, pure chondrosarcoma without any other area of epithelial or mesenchymal differentiation feature is even rarer. This excludes tumours like malignant cystosarcoma phylloides and metaplastic carcinoma where malignant cartilaginous areas may be present. Further, primary chondrosarcoma arises from breast stroma and not from underlying bone or cartilage. Here is this case, a 46-year-old female was presented with a huge lump in her left breast. FNAC reported it to be a case of infiltrating duct carcinoma. Microscopically a well differentiated chondrosarcoma was identified. The case is presented because of its rarity.

Effect of fructose 1,6-diphosphate (FDP) and carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) were studied individually and in combination on rat endothelial (ET) and smooth muscle cell (SMC) nitric oxide synthase (NOS) activities in vivo, inhibition of ET and SMC NOS activity in CCl4 treated rats was reversed in FDP + CCl4 treated animals. Cellular based NOS activity was significantly increased in FDP treated group of rats when compared to non treated controls. The results suggest a significant increase in NOS in rats treated with a combination of FDP + CCl4 thus overcoming the suppression of NOS exposed to CCl4 alone.
