Abstract:- The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of Qi-Dan Fang (Astragalus and Salvia) in nephrotic syndrome rats induced by Adriamycin. The rats were divided into Control, Model, Jin Gui Shen Qi Pill, Qi-Dan Fang (High, Middle, Low dose) groups, they were performed by a single tail-intravenous injection of Adriamycin (6.0mg/kg) except Control group and administered orally the decoction of Qi-Dan Fang and Jin Gui Shen Qi Pill. The general condition and urine protein, blood pressure, auricle microcirculation, serum lipid were measured. The results showed that rats in treated groups possessed a better mental condition. Compared with Model group, the 24h urine protein, the blood pressure and levels of serum lipid total cholesterol (TC), serum triglycerides (TG) and low density lipoprotein (LDL) were obviously decreased; the auricle microcirculation and level of serum high-density lipoprotein (HDL) were increased. Therefore we confirmed that Qi-Dan Fang can improve Adriamycin-induced nephrotic syndrome by alleviating renal function and serum lipid.

Abstract:- Fallopian tube carcinoma is a rare gynaecological malignancy of female reproductive tract, seen in peri-menopausal period. It is similar in behavior and presentation to ovarian carcinoma but associated with poorer prognosis especially if detected in advanced stage. Early diagnosis and prompt surgical management followed by chemotherapy is the key to success in management of primary fallopian tube carcinoma. The clinical manifestations, radiological and laboratory investigations can often lead to a correct diagnosis at an early stage. CA-125 is essential diagnostic marker for primary fallopian tube carcinoma and raised level of CA-125 should raise the suspicion of the same at early stage.
Key words:- Fallopian tube carcinoma, CA-125, ovarian cancer.

Abstract:- Objective:- The aim of the study is correlation of bleeding on probing with gingival thickness & determination of gingival thickness in different gender. Methods:- A total of 20 patients (10 male and 10 female) within an age group of 17 to 23 years were included in the study. Maxillary & mandibular anterior teeth were taken into consideration. Gingival index (Loe H & Silness J) was assessed. Plaque estimation done using criteria of Turesky-Gilmore-Glickman modification of the Quigley-Hein plaque index. Gingival thickness was assessed with UNC-15 probe at midfacial site of each selected tooth. Result: - According to the clinical overview the volunteers had mild to moderate plaque induced gingivitis. Average gingival index was negatively associated with gingival thickness (-0.032), whereas plaque index was positively associated (+.308) with gingival index. Conclusion:- Bleeding tendency is higher if gingiva is thin and thickness of masticatory mucosa strongly depends on gender.
Key words:- Gingival thickness, Gingival index, Plaque index, Masticatory mucosa, Midfacial site.

Abstract:- The primary means to pass the pollutants through worker’s body is respiratory apparatus. In addition to the effect on respiratory apparatus, these pollutants afflict all oranges and cause the simple to very serious diseases like cancer. Filtration apparatus and providing the necessary air for workers in dusty workshops is made of the following parts, by means of pressure difference:- 1:–Main body , 2:–Fan,3:-Sucker,4:–Control system,5:-Filtration house,6:–Main body and filtration house, 7:–Apparatus wheels,8:-The container of air distributor,9:–The plate for adjusting the air entering from fan . This apparatus is placed in the fixed point in the place of producing dust. As cooling the air, it will filter the air and evacuate it overhead of workers and in respiration place. The output of this device particle with size of smaller and bigger than 5 mm is 99/5% and 100% respectively. In order to achieve the maximum output, it must be installed at the back of work table and the movement domain of worker has been placed under the container of filtered air distributor. Apart of filtered air is cooled; re-sucked and re-circulated.This device would be transfer med to every part of workshop.

Abstract:- The incidence of diabetes and its complications are on the rise with risk of lower extremity amputations being fifteen fold higher as compared to non-diabetics due to chronic diabetic foot ulcer. Diabetic ulcers are known to be resistant to conventional treatment and may herald severe complications if not treated wisely. A series of study has shown that application of PDGF to wound enhances the process of wound healing. In view of this a study on efficacy of rh-PDGF in chronic diabetic ulcers versus normal saline dressings was undertaken. Our study revealed that rh-PDGF therapy could act as an adjuvant to the conventional mode of treatment.
Key words:- rh-PDGF, diabetic foot ulcer, saline dressing, chronic ulcer.
