Authors: Aziz Irfan , Shrivastava Birendra , Rao2 Chandana Venkateswara , Ali Sadath
Published: November 2019

Liver disease or liver cancer is the sixth most common cancer and the third leading cause of cancer mortality in the world. Hepatitis viral infection, food additives, alcohol, fungal toxins (aflatoxins), toxic industrial chemicals, air and water pollutants are the major risk factors of liver cancer. Moreover, due to high tolerance of liver, HCC is seldom detected at an early stage and once detected treatment faces a poor prognosis in most cases.Fumaria indica possesses hepatoprotective activity as evidenced by the significant and dose dependent restoring the activities of entire liver cancer marker enzymes, diminution in tumor incidence, decrease in lipid peroxidation (LPO) and increase in the level of antioxidant enzymes (GSH, CAT, SOD, GPx and GST) through scavenging of free radicals, or by enhancing the activity of antioxidant, which then detoxify free radicals. These factors protect cells from ROS damage in NDEA and CCl4-induced hepatocarcinogenesis. Histopathological observations of liver tissues too correlated with the biochemical observations. Thus, present investigation suggested that the Fumaria indica would exert a chemoprotective effect by reversing the oxidant-antioxidant imbalance during hepatocarcinogenesis induced by NDEA and CCl4. Besides Fumaria indicais very much effective in preventing NDEA-induced multistage hepatocarcinogenesis possibly through antioxidant and antigenotoxic nature, which was confirmed by various liver injury and biochemical tumour markers enzymes. The hepatoprotective activity of a Fumaria indicaof 50 % ethanolic extract was studied using rats. The animals received a single intraperitoneal injection of N-nitrosodiethylamine 200mg/kg body wt followed by subcutaneous injection of CCl4 in a dose of 3 ml/kg body wt. Fumaria indica extract dose dependently and significantly the increase in serum hepatic enzyme levels after NDEAand CCl4 treatment compared to the toxin control group. The results of this study confirmed the antioxidant and hepatoprotective activity of the Fumaria indicaextract against carbon tetrachlorideand N-nitrosodiethylamine induced hepatotoxicity in rats. In addition to this, studies on molecular aspect of hepatoprotective therapy will give mechanistic information in hepatoprotective therapy and also critical balance should be there between the animal model and clinical research. The hepatoprotective properties of Fumaria indicashould provide useful information in the possible application in hepatic liver disease.

Authors: Al-Draghi Wathiq A , Hassan Mushtaq T
Published: November 2019

Radiation may impact the DNA directly, causing its ionization or cause an indirect action in this case, the radiation interacts with non-critical target atoms or molecules, usually water which results in the production of free radicals. These free radicals can then attack critical targets such as the DNA. Radiation is considered carcinogenic. in this study were the evaluation the Ahr gene polymorphisms among Iraqi staff working in radiotherapy units. This case control study include two groups : fifteen healthy women as control group and fifteen radiologist. Ahr polymorphism has been done at two loci G1721A and G1768A using alleles specific PCR. Nucleotide polymorphism variants and different genotypes of Ahr gene have important roles in the development of cancer. This was mainly seen in Ahr polymorphism in GG and GT variants of G1721A, GG and GT variants of G1768A. High risk of radiation damage was noticed in the GG1768 genotype where (OR=3.25(0.5185-20.3704),p=0.2082)and (RR=2.49) also GT1721 genotype It can reflect radiation risks where (OR=1.62(0.2303-11.464)and (RR=1.5). All these results imply that SNPs studies must be conducted on cancer patients and radiation staffs as routine investigation to watch for and prevent DNA damage as much as possible.

Published: November 2019

The plant of castor is widely spread in the Iraqi land, and characterized with containing ricin toxin, which has a very serious effects, and because the seeds of this plant scattered in the agricultural soil and rivers water, which increases the exposure of humans and animals to these beans. Objective: This experiment was designed to study the effect of high concentration of castor bean powder in some physiological and biochemical parameters and changes in some tissues of the body, as well as trying to use doxycycline to reduce the effects of ingestion of these seeds. Materials and Methods: In the experiment, 24 local rabbits were raised and fed in the Animal House of the Faculty of Medicine / Al-Muthanna University, then divided into four groups and treated for three weeks (21 days), Control group: treated with normal saline solution (0.9) orally throughout the experiment, G1: was treated orally with a concentration of 25 mg / kg of castor bean powder daily during the experiment, G2 : orally treated 25 mg / kg of castor bean and 25 mg / kg of doxycycline, G3: orally treated 25 mg / kg of castor powder with 50 mg / kg of doxycycline daily throughout the trial period. Results: The results of the experiment showed significant changes (P less than 0.05) in all physiological and biochemical blood tests when compared with control group. There was a significant decrease in PCV, Hb, RBC, T.protein and body weights, while demonstrated a significant increase in WBC, Urea, Creatinine, ALT, AST and ALP, with distortions in liver and kidney of animals that treated with Castor beans. In contrast, the treatment with doxycycline and caster beans showed significant improvement reflected by a normal proportion in physiological tests and biochemical tests with improvement in the tissues when compared to control group. Conclusions: It can be concluded from this study that castor bean has high toxic and pathogenic effects that may be dangerous to the life of the organism.

Analysis of the Glycine max role of Syntaxin (SYP22) in resistance to Rotylenchulus reniformis
Authors: Aljaafri Weasam A R , Al-fadhal Fadhal A , Al-jouburi Ameera Naji Hussein
Published: November 2019

Syntaxin proteins are involved in the process of membrane fusion. G. max syntaxin genes (Gm-SYP22-3, and GmSYP22-4) that were similar in amino acid composition have been found to contribute to the ability of Glycine max to
defend itselffrom infection by the plant- parasitic nematode Rotylenchulus reniformis. The Gm-SYP22-3and Gm-SYP22-4 genes were expressed in root cells (syncytia) undergoing a resistant reaction while not being expressed in control cells. The Gm-SYP22-3 and Gm-SYP22-4 genes have been isolated from genetically engineered in G. max [Williams 82/PI518671], a genotype typically susceptible to R. reniformis parasitism. Genetically engineered plants in G. max [Williams 82/PI 518671] that lack the overexpression of Gm-SYP22-3 or Gm-SYP22-4 genes have also been produced to serve as a control. The transgenic Gm-SYP22-3 or Gm-SYP22-4 overexpression lines with their pRAP15 control have then been infected with R. reniformis. Infection was allowed to proceed for 30 days. At the end of the 30-day life span, R. reniformisstages were extracted from the soil and eggs from the roots, enumerated and compared to control plants. Plants overexpressing Gm-SYP22-3 or Gm-SYP22-4 had suppressed R. reniformis. In contrast, the gene expression levels of Gm-SYP22-3 and Gm-SYP22-4 were reduced in transgenic lines engineered for their RNA interference (RNAi) in G. max [Peking/PI 548402], a genotype normally resistant to R. reniformis. In comparison to genetically engineered control G. max [Peking/PI 548402] lines, RNAi of Gm-SYP22-3 or Gm-SYP22-4 resulted in an increase in parasitism in the normally R. reniformis resistant G. max [Peking/PI 548402].
Simultaneous analysis of eight benzodiazepines in blood and urine matrix by gas chromatography–mass spectrometry: Implications for air crash investigation
Authors: Santhosh SR , Sampath S , Gupta A
Published: November 2019

Introduction:

Benzodiazepines are the most commonly prescribed class of drugs in India and are capable of impairing the performance of an aviator in therapeutic to subtherapeutic levels. Detection of benzodiazepines, particularly in blood, is not easy, since the concentrations present, especially following prescribed medical use, can be very low. Several publications have addressed estimation of benzodiazepines in plasma or serum; however, few have attempted their detection in whole blood. Urine, although a better specimen, benzodiazepines due to their extensive metabolism, its metabolites are excreted in urine instead of the parent compounds.

Materials and Methods:

In our laboratory, a method was developed for simultaneous detection and quantification of eight benzodiazepines in whole blood and urine matrix by gas chromatography–mass spectrometry selective ion monitoring (SIM) method. Chromatographic separation was optimized and achieved for separation of all 8 compounds using Agilent DB-5MS column. Retention time, selectivity and sensitivity were achieved by measuring each analyte in SIM mode. The developed method was tested and validated on actual biological samples for lorazepam, temazepam, diazepam, clonazepam, and nitrazepam.

Conclusion:

A single method was developed for the detection and quantification of eight benzodiazepines in whole blood and urine matrix by GC–MS SIM method. The method was also tested on limited number of actual biological samples for the lorazepam, temazepam, diazepam, clonazepam, and nitrazepam.
Principal component analysis: The path ahead for aircrew-aircraft compatibility at the Institute of Aerospace Medicine
Authors: Biswal P , Dahiya YS
Published: November 2019

Introduction:

The Institute of Aerospace Medicine provides design consultancy on aircraft-aircrew compatibility on a number of fixed-wing as well as rotary-wing aircrafts during various stages of development. Till date, the cockpit compatibility of aircrew has been determined based on the percentile concept. Percentiles, though useful when dealing with a single parameter, pose major design and fitment problems when considering multiple parameters simultaneously as in aircraft cockpit design. The concept of multivariate analysis has been the solution which the aviation industry the world over has accepted in overcoming this problem. This paper presents the Institute of Aerospace Medicine initial foray into the field of multivariate analysis, specifically principal component analysis (PCA) to achieve desired aircrew fitment in the aircraft cockpit right from the design stage.

Materials and Methods:

The fighter aircraft of the near future is being designed using the anthropometric parameters available in the IAF aircrew anthropometry survey 2013. Of the 57 parameters available, six parameters critical to the design of the cockpit were subject to PCA to derive three principal components. About 96% confidence ellipse was drawn on the plot of the principal components. From this, along the different axes, 21 boundary individuals were identified defining the extreme individuals in various combinations of the six parameters.

Discussion:

The use of more than 2 parameters is not amenable to sequential use of percentiles. As the number of parameters considered increases, it leads to reduced fitment percentage. The use of PCA allows consideration of critical parameters together at one go. The design aim is changed from the 3rd to 97th percentile to an overall aim of fitting 96% of the target population in the cockpit. The boundary individual’s entire anthropometry data are used to create boundary manikins for use in computer-aided design models. The fitment of these boundary individuals ensures that if these individuals fit, all others would fit in the cockpit. This concept brings about a paradigm shift in the aircrew-aircraft compatibility in the aviation industry in India.
Cas/Medevac in field area: An experience and lessons drawn
Authors: Murtaza  , Biswal P
Published: November 2019

Introduction:

Success of Cas/Medevac missions depends on effective coordination between all agencies involved. The focus by medical authorities on the treatment and medical care at time leads to avoidable procedural complexity. Certain lessons are drawn from the United Nations (UNs) field areas for Cas/Medevac missions/laid down procedures and recommendations made for streamlining our own procedures.

Materials and Methods:

The data pertaining to Cas/Medevac details from IFH Level-II Malakal (UN Mission in South Sudan [UNMISS]) for January 2017 - February 2018 were collected and analyzed. Standard operating procedures (SOPs) followed in the UN field areas for Cas/Medevac missions were also studied and analyzed.

Results and Discussion:

A total of 19 cases were air evacuated from IFH Level-II UNMISS to higher medical establishments and 11 cases from periphery to IFH Level-II in 1 year plus period. Aeromedical issues involved are discussed here with emphasis on Medevac of patient with suspicion of hollow viscus perforation/pancreatitis. Procedures and documentation followed in the UN Medevac missions are discussed and suggestions made for improving Cas/ Medevac procedures in field areas. A sample of Cas/Medevac incremental information form is also suggested.

Conclusion:

Timely evacuation of a casualty to an appropriate medical establishment can reduce mortality and morbidity significantly. Experience of Cas/Medevac missions in the UN field area is presented in this paper along with analysis and discussion on SOPs followed in the UN mission areas. Suggestions are made to refine and streamline our own Cas/Medevac procedures in field areas and theaters of conflict.
Permanent colostomy wound: Aeromedical disposal
Authors: Bhattacharya U , Kumar A , Raju AVK
Published: November 2019

Background:

A 41-year-old test pilot from the fighter stream presented to the Institute of Aerospace Medicine (IAM) with carcinoma lower one-third of rectum (opted) and a history of 2 years of follow-up post-surgery. He was physically fit with a healthy stoma in the left iliac fossa region. There was no history of local recurrence or distance metastases of colorectal cancer (CRC). During his evaluation at IAM, the officer had completed the OPTRAM profile with a stomal guard in place and could do AGSM effectively. Considering the overall prognosis, which was found to be favorable, the pilot was recommended an upgradation to a restricted flying category in the type, subject to a 1 time waiver from Director General Medical Services (air).

Discussion:

According to the Indian Council of Medical Research consensus document for the management of CRC 2014, the annual incidence rate of colon cancer and rectal cancer in Indian male population is 4.4 and 4.1/100,000, respectively. Surgery is the primary treatment for such cancers and they are mostly curative. Multimodal therapy with neoadjuvant chemotherapy and radiotherapy is done to improve the survival rates. Latest reports published by the National Comprehensive Cancer Network for Rectal Cancer, Version 2.2018, Clinical Practice Guidelines in Oncology indicate that the peak mortality rates are currently down by 50% due to better treatment modalities. Depending on the site of primary tumor, the surgery might leave the patient with either a temporary or a permanent colostomy wound.

Conclusion:

There was no available record/published case report of any pilot being returned to the cockpit in military flying with a permanent stoma. This case was a first of its kind with respect to aeromedical decisionmaking. With mortality rates decreasing due to effective treatment for cancer, aeromedical decision in more such cases may be required in the future. This case will serve as a precedence in effectively returning trained aviators to the cockpit.
A paradigm approach toward predicting barotrauma
Authors: Raghunandan V , Mohapatra SS
Published: November 2019

Barotrauma is one of the most common medical problems associated with aviation and has been a causal factor for significant loss of trained aircrew hours. The occurrence of barotrauma has been reported not only in flight but also during simulated exposures to changing pressures as a part of aeromedical evaluation and training. This occurrence is despite the screening of individuals by otoscopy and tympanometry before exposure to barometric changes. In such cases, baro-challenge-induced eustachian tube (ET) dysfunction has been identified as the most probable cause, leading to decreased ability to equalize pressures across the middle ear. This paper describes a paradigm approach to the prediction of baro-challenge-induced ET dysfunction using the nine-step test and ET dysfunction questionnaire. The inclusion of the test as a screening tool before exposure of aircrew to baro-challenge after recovery from their ear, nose, and throat ailments is recommended to prevent occurrence/ reoccurrence of barotrauma.
The Design and Anticancer Activity of a Citropin1.1 Hybrid Peptide with Selective Activity Against Highly Invasive Metastatic Cell Lines
Authors: Ammar Almaaytah  , Mohd Alaraj
Published: November 2019

Citropin 1.1 is an amphipathic alpha-helical cationic peptide that exhibits potent anticancer activity in vitro. Citropin 1.1 was found to be active against 60 cancer cell lines, and this activity was mainly attributed to its ability to bind and lyse membranes of cancer cells. One of the major drawbacks of developing Citropin 1.1 as an anticancer agent is its lack of apparent selectivity toward cancer cells and its ability to cause significant lysis of normal human erythrocytes and mammalian cells at high concentrations. This low selectivity index places severe restraints on the development of Citropin 1.1 as a novel anticancer agent. In this study, we have designed a Citropin 1.1 analog named Citropin A that retained the biological activity of the parent peptide. Citropin A was fused to an anionic fragment in order to neutralize the positive charge carried on the parent peptide rendering it inactive. The resultant hybrid peptide named Citropin-MMP was designed to contain a Matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) cleavable consensus sequence that would be cleaved to release the active Citropin A once it encounters highly metastatic MMP producing cancer cells. Citropin-MMP was found to be completely inactive against non-MMP producing cancer cells and normal mammalian cells. However, when Citropin-MMP was administered to MMP producing cells, its antiproliferative activity was regained, and the peptide displayed exclusive activity against MMP producing cancer cell lines. The data of our study indicate that this enzyme-based cleavage strategy could prove to be successful for the development of Citropin-MMP as a novel therapeutic agent for the purpose of inhibiting the proliferation and invasion of highly metastatic invasive cancer cells.

Authors: Nuha Sh. Ali  , Haidar Alsaedi
Published: November 2019

There is tremendous concern about the potential harmful effects of cell phone microwaves. The results are contradictory. However, the effects of these waves on the body have been reported. In this study, the effect of cellular microwaves on sperm parameters and total antioxidant capacity in relation to the duration of exposure and frequency of these waves were studied. This experimental study was conducted on male Sprague Dawley rats (150-200 g). The animals were randomly assigned to three groups (n = 18). Group 1 Natural control rat were fed to standard laboratory feeding Animals for 14 days. Group 2 animals were exposed to cell phone receiver stimulated waves (915 MHz frequency) for 14 days, and Group 3 animals were exposed to simulated waves of a cell phone antenna (950 MHz frequency) for 14 days. The results indicated that the total antioxidant capacity in all exposure groups decreased significantly compared with the control group (P <0.05). Increased exposure time within two weeks caused a statistically significant decrease in sperm motility and mobility (P <0.05).Effect of phone waves on liver and kidney of male Sprague Dawley rat. The study of pathological anatomy revealed a clear and appropriate deviation. These results found blood enzymes such as amino-aspartase transferase (AST), amino amines (ALT), and creatinine levels. The results showed no significant changes in both liver and kidney physiological functions. Malondialdehyde level (MDA) and total antioxidant contents were performed. The level of glutathione (GST), superoxide dismutase (SOD) was in normal ranges. Exposure to cell phone waves can reduce sperm movement and mobility in rats. These waves can also reduce the total antioxidant capacity in rats and lead to oxidative stress.
