RESUMO
Background: Cervical cancer is unique among human cancers which is mostly attributable to infection. Conventional PAP smear method is most effective for prevention and detection of cervical cancer but the accuracy of this method is low. This PAP smear now evolved to Liquid Based Cytology (LBC). Method: All the patients visiting Gynaecology OPD who fulfilled the inclusion Criteria in the duration starting from 1 January 2020 to 30 June 2021 in the Department of Pathology of Gajra raja Medical College, Gwalior (MP) were included in this study. 50 atypical smears by Conventional PAP test were then collected and these cases were subjected to Eziprep Liquid Based Cytology and Conventional PAP smear in private laboratory setup after taking history and clinical examination. The smears were studied by using 7 morphological parameters. Smears were analysed for adequate cellularity, clean background, uniformResult: distribution of cells, cellular overlapping, inflammation, distinct cell border, nuclear irregularity and then categorise by Bethesda reporting system. The results were significant only for clean background, uniform distribution of cells, cellular overlapping and inflammation. Conclusion: Results of cervical cytology smears by both methods showed that LBC provides more representative sample with reduced obscuring material, improved clarity allowing better morphological evaluation.
RESUMO
Abstract:The Indian hill trout cyprinid, Barilius bendelisis is a member of family Cyprinidae that dwells in shallow, cold, and clear water. In this study, growth parameters and reproductive biology of Indian hill trout, Barilius bendelisis from river Gaula, Central Himalaya region, India, were studied. The length-frequency data were grouped sex wise and were analyzed to determine the growth and mortality parameters using the computer software programme, FAO-ICLARM Stock Assessment Tool (FISAT II). Altogether, 501 individuals were collected from river Gaula (November 2013-October 2014) and were preserved in formalin for further analysis. The results showed that the female outnumbered the male population. The minimum GSI of females was observed in the month of October (4.93 ± 0.26) and for males in the month of June and July (0.093 ± 0.12), whereas, the maximum value was in the month of April for both females (13.47 ± 0.52) and males (1.21 ± 0.12). Fluctuation in GSI values had a bimodal pattern showing two peaks during March-May and August-September in both the sexes, indicating the common spawning period of fish. The slope of regression showed the negative allometric growth for both males and females (b= 2.65 for male and b= 2.5 for female). A significant relationship between length and weight was observed in the present study (p < 0.05). The ELEFAN-I estimated L∞ and K of the von Bertalanffy growth factor for males (17.33 cm and 0.310 per year), females (17.33 cm and 0.3 per year) and pooled sexes (17.33 cm and 0.240 per year). The results indicated that Barilius bendelisis is a small sized fish having negative allometric growth that spawns twice a year. Thus, the present study on biological traits represents the baseline information for effective production, conservation and restoration planning. Rev. Biol. Trop. 64 (3): 1287-1295.

ResumenBarilius bendelisis es un miembro de la familia Cyprinidae que habita en agua superficial, fría y clara. En esta investigación se estudiaron los parámetros de crecimiento y la biología reproductiva de Barilius bendelisism en el río Gaula, Himalaya Central, India. Los datos talla-frecuencia fueron agrupados por sexo, y analizados para determinar parámetros de crecimiento y mortalidad usando el programa de computador, FAO-ICLARM Stock Asseessment Toll (FISAT II). En total, 501 individuos fueron recolectados en el río Gaula (Noviembre 2013-Octubre 2014) y fueron preservados en formalina para futuros análisis. Los resultados mostraron que la población de hembras supera en número la población de machos. El GSI mínimo en hembras fue observado en octubre (4.93 ± 0.26) y en machos en Junio y Julio (0.093 ± 0.12), mientras, el valor máximo en abril para ambos, hembras (13.47 ± 0.52) y machos (1.21 ± 0.12). La fluctuación en los valores del GSI tenía un patrón bimodal mostrando dos picos durante Marzo-Macho y Agosto-Septiembre en ambos sexos, indicando el periodo de desove común del pez. La pendiente de regresión muestra crecimiento alométrico negativo tanto para machos como para hembras (b= 2.65 para machos y b= 2.5 para hembras). Se observó una significativa relación entre talla y peso en el presente estudio (p < 0.05). El ELEFAN-I estimó L∞ y K del factor de crecimiento von Bertalanffy para machos (17. 33 cm y 0.310 por año), hembras (17.33 cm y 0.3 por año) y sexos combinados (17.33 cm y 0.240 por año). Los resultados indicaron que Barilius bendelisis es un pez de talla pequeña con un crecimiento alométrico negativo que desova dos veces al año. Además, el presente estudio de rasgos biológicos representa la información de base para la efectiva producción, conservación y planeamiento de la restauración.

Barilius bendelisis, commonly known as Indian Hill Trout is an upland water fish of South East Asia. It belongs to the family Cyprinidae and dwells in shallow, clear and cold water. In this study, the intraspecific variation of Barilius bendelisis, on the basis of morphometric characters, was investigated. Altogether, 402 specimens were collected from four rivers in the Central Indian Himalaya. A truss network was constructed by interconnecting 12 landmarks to yield 30 distance variables that were extracted from digital images of specimens using tpsDig2 and PAST software. Allometric transformed truss measurements were subjected to univariate analysis of variance, factor analysis and discriminant analysis. All variables exhibited significant differences between the populations. Altogether 88% of the specimens were classified into their original populations (81.98% under a ‘leave-one-out’ procedure). With factor analysis measurements of the head region, the middle portion and the caudal region had high loadings on the first and second axis. The results indicated that B. bendelisis has significant phenotypic heterogeneity between the geographically isolated regions of Central Indian Himalaya. We hypothesize that the marked interspecific variation in B. bendelisis is the result of local ecological conditions.
Barilius bendelisis, comúnmente conocido como trucha “Indian Hill”, es un pez de tierras altas del sudeste de Asia. Pertenece a la familia de los ciprínidos y habita en aguas poco profundas, claras y frías. En este estudio se investigó la variación intraespecífica de Barilius bendelisis basado en caracteres morfométricos. En total se obtuvieron 402 muestras de cuatro ríos en el centro del Himalaya hindú. Se construyó una red “truss” mediante la interconexión de 12 puntos de referencia para producir 30 variables de distancia que fueron extraídas de las imágenes digitales de las muestras, utilizando el software tpsDig2 y PAST. Las mediciones alométricas de la red truss se transformaron mediante un análisis univariado de varianza, análisis factorial y discriminante. Todas las variables mostraron diferencias significativas entre las poblaciones. En total, el 88% de los especímenes se clasificaron en sus poblaciones originales (81.98% con el procedimiento “leave-one-out”). Las mediciones del análisis factorial de la región de la cabeza, la parte media y la región caudal mostraron altas concentraciones en el primer y segundo eje. Los resultados indicaron que B. bendelisis tiene heterogeneidad fenotípica significativa entre las regiones geográficamente aisladas del centro del Himalaya hindú. Nuestra hipótesis es que hay una marcada variación interespecífica de B. bendelisis como resultado de las condiciones ecológicas locales.
