AISLAMIENTO, CARACTERIZACIÓN Y EVALUACIÓN DE Trichoderma spp. COMO PROMOTOR DE CRECIMIENTO VEGETAL EN PASTURAS DE RAYGRASS (Lolium perenne) Y TRÉBOL BLANCO (Trifolium repens)
Authors: Acurio Vásconez Ramiro Daniel , España Imbaquingo Cinthia Karina 
Published: April 2017

<p>El género de hongos Trichoderma han sido muy utilizados en agricultura como controladores biológicos gracias a su capacidad para excretar enzimas exógenas que les permiten actuar como biopesticidas. Este hongo tiene la capacidad de crecer en diversos hábitats, y se los encuentra comúnmente en el suelo y en materia en descomposición. Su papel como promotor de crecimiento vegetal se debe a la capacidad de colonizar rápidamente las raíces de la planta protegiéndolas del ataque de fitopatógenos, lo que se traduce en un incremento en el crecimiento y por la exudación de fitohormonas o la solubilización de fosfatos, Fe, Mn, Mg. El objetivo de este trabajo fue aislar cepas nativas de Trichoderma spp. presentes en el suelo de la hacienda “La Alegría” ubicada en el cantón Pedro Moncayo para su posterior evaluación como promotoras de crecimiento vegetal en pasturas de raygrass y trébol blanco. Las cepas aisladas fueron identificadas mediante claves morfológicas como Trichoderma harzianum y Trichoderma viride. El efecto como promotor de crecimiento se evaluó en campo, en potreros previamente establecidos. Se realizaron tres cortes con un periodo de 45 días, después de cada corte se fertilizaron los potreros con soluciones líquidas del hongo a una concentración de 106 , materia orgánica (Compost 45% MO) y fertilizante químico (Fertiforraje). Los tratamientos que mejores resultados arrojaron fueron T1 con un promedio de materia verde de 12,72 TM/ha/corte y T6 con un promedio de 11,55 TM/ha/corte, en comparación con el testigo y el tratamiento químico.</p><p> </p>
Illisibilité ou dis-lisibilité de l’écriture poétique française contemporaine : le cas de Christian Prigent / Il-Legibility or Dis-Legibility in French Contemporary Poetry: Christian Prigent
Authors: Gorrillot Bénédicte 
Published: April 2017

Résumé: Cette étude interroge l’illisibilité dont est fréquemment accusée une certaine poésie française contemporaine (depuis 1968), notamment liée aux influences avant-gardistes héritées de la première moitié du 20e siècle européen (Futurisme, Dada, Surréalisme, Lettrisme) ou à celles du Modernisme dit « américain » (de Cummings à Burroughs). Elle prend pour cas exemplaire l’écriture du polygraphe Christian Prigent, prolongeant les réflexions menées lors du colloque de San Diego de 2008 dont les actes sont parus en 2014 sous le titre : L’Illisibilité en questions (autour de Michel Deguy, Jean-Marie Gleize, Christian Prigent, Nathalie Quintane). Prigent passe pour un poète illisible, ce que l’écrivain conteste, invitant à infléchir ce jugement de la réception lectoriale, peut-être vers un parti-pris de dis-lisibilité. Ce concept, créé à San Diego, permet en effet d’articuler la double et contradictoire réception (auctoriale et lectoriale) des œuvres au cœur de la polémique. Les actes de San Diego et l’essai Une erreur de la nature publié par Prigent en 1996 servent de guide à cette enquête.Mots-clés : dis-lisibilité ; illisibilité ; modernité négative ; Prigent (Christian) ; poésie contemporaine ; réception.Abstract : In this paper, I question the illegibility / unreadability of which a part of the contemporary French poetry (since 1968) is often accused, in particular the one that inherits the influences of the European avant-gardes of the early 20th century (Futurism, Dada, Surrealism, Lettrism) or of the so-called “American Modernism” (from Cummings to Burroughs). I will take, as example, the polygraph Christian Prigent, extending the discussions held at the San Diego’s Conference in 2008, whose proceedings were published in 2014 under the title : L’Illisibilité en questions (autour de Deguy Michel, Jean-Marie Gleize, Christian Prigent, Nathalie Quintane). Prigent is often considered as an illegible / unreadable poet, what the writer denies, inviting his readers to understand rather his dis-legibility / dis-readability. Such concept, created in San Diego, makes it possible to articulate the double and contradictory reception (authorship and readership) of many poetry books in the heart of the controversy. L’Illisibilité en questions and the essay Une erreur de la nature, published by Prigent in 1996, are taken as references in this article.Keywords: dis-legibility; illegibility; negative modernity; Prigent (Christian); contemporary poetry; reception.

Authors: Katlam Savitri , Deshmukh Yeshwant A. , Jadhav Pradeep R. 
Published: April 2017

Background: Tetracycline class of antibiotics differ in their pharmacokinetic profile and chelating property. Objective of present study is to assess the effect of oxytetracycline and doxycycline on calcium chelationMethods: For estimation of calcium chelation of Oxytetracycline and Doxycycline, EDTA method (P. Trinder) and calcium binding assay was followed. Different doses of Oxytetracycline (25 mg, 50 mg and 100 mg) and Doxycycline (25 mg, 50 mg and 100 mg) were used in EDTA method and different concentrations of calcium were used in calcium binding assay. The procedure was done according to the standard methodology.Results: The intensity of colour appear to be increased with increase in dose of the Oxytetracycline (25 mg, 50 mg, 100 mg) as the concentration of calcium binding increases. But in Doxycycline intensity of colour is more with 100 mg as compared with 25 mg and 50 mg The UV absorption spectrum of solution of Oxytetracycline (1mM) was changed after the addition of CaCl2 to provide different concentration of Ca2+ (0.1, 0.5 and 1.0 mM). With minor shift in the absorption coefficient and no shift in wavelength were observed for Doxycycline.Conclusions: The study concludes that oxytetracycline has more calcium chelating property than doxycycline.

Published: April 2017

Background: Human wild life conflict is increasing at an alarming rate. The topography of Kashmir valley, India makes the people at risk of wild life injuries all the time. We have been seeing increasing number of victims of wild life injuries during harvesting season for many years with maximum number of injuries due to bear maul. Objective was to see the incidence and pattern of injuries due to human wild life conflict besides surgical challenges and outcome of such injuriesMethods: This was a retrospective study of 10 years duration done between 2005 to 2016. Data was collected from hospital records and records of wild life conservation department.Results: Human wild life conflict is increasing at an alarming rate. Bear was the most common animal responsible for human animal conflict, followed by leopard. Monkey and red fox attacks were less common and less lethal. Mortality was highest in leopard attacks.Conclusions: Human wild life conflict is certainly increasing. Most of the attacks due to bear and leopard are devastating. Most of the survivors of such attacks are left with some degree of disability and psychiatric disturbances. Maintaining ecological balance is the best way to control human animal conflict.

Published: April 2017

Background: Infertility management has become more substantial and relevant with an increase in the number of infertile patients as well as advances in the science of reproduction. The objective of our study was to assess the role of intrauterine tuboperitoneal insemination (IUTPI) and intrauterine insemination (IUI) in the treatment of infertile patients.Methods: 236 infertile patients, 118 in each group attending the infertility clinic, after applying both inclusion and exclusion criteria were enrolled in the present study. Patients in each study group were given clomiphene citrate for ovarian stimulation followed by injection hCG for triggering ovulation. Insemination with washed husband’s sperm was performed about 36-40 hours after hCG administration, using 10ml of inseminate in IUTPI and 0.5ml inseminate in IUI. The patient was then called after 2 weeks for urine pregnancy test (UPT) which, if positive was considered as clinical pregnancy.Results: Out of the total 236 cases, 42 cases had a positive outcome. Out of these 42 positive cases, 27 were from IUTPI group whereas 15 from IUI group. The pregnancy rate was 22.88% in IUTPI and 12.71% in IUI (p=0.039), which was a statistically significant difference. Endometrial thickness, preovulatory follicle number and prewash sperm motility significantly affected positive outcome in IUTPI. Factors like patient’s age, BMI<25, bilateral patent tubes and decreased duration of infertility also positively affected the treatment outcome.Conclusions: Our study found IUTPI to have better pregnancy rate compared to IUI. IUTPI may become a first line option for treatment of infertile patients.

Background: Several studies have shown that people who have been exposed to radiation or to asbestos, benzene, pesticides, and other chemicals used in rubber manufacturing may be at higher risk for developing multiple myeloma (MM). Those exposed to wood products, such as carpenters, furniture makers, and paper makers, are also at higher risk of developing this disease. Most occupational cohort studies lack statistical power for rare outcomes such as MM and many case–control studies suffer from small numbers of exposed subjects in specific occupation, job title or chemical exposure categories. This study aimed to investigate the distribution of MM among different occupational groups.Methods: A total of 100 cases were studied in the out patient department (OPD) of the Clinical Haematology Department, Gauhati Medical College and Hospital, and Guwahati, Assam, India. It was a hospital based cross-sectional descriptive study. The proforma was prepared based on universal standard protocols for evaluation of MM which contains separate history, examination and investigation parts. The International Myeloma Working Group (IMWK) criteria for classification of monoclonal gammopathy, multiple myeloma and related disorders were used for diagnosis of the disease. Data were analyzed using statistical package and results and observations were presented in tabular form. Statistical tests were applied wherever required.Results: Statistical analysis suggested that farmers and housewives were more vulnerable to MM and the prevalence was significantly high (p>0.00001) among farmers followed by housewives; prevalence of MM was significantly high (p>0.00001) among the farmers working in agriculture as compared to those in farms; there was some difference (p<0.00001) in relation to risk of pesticide exposure between cultivation of crops and vegetable. Pesticide exposure was relatively high with cultivation of crops than vegetable; among the farmers working in farms, those who work in farm with furred animals are more vulnerable (p<0.00001) to the prevalence of MM than the others; frequency of pesticide exposure had no effect (p=0.354) on the prevalence of MM; prevalence of MM was significantly high (p=0.0005) among farmers who expose to pesticides for more than 5 years as compared to those exposing for less time and prevalence of multiple myeloma is very insignificant (p<0.00001) among the fruit and pesticide sellers.Conclusions: Prevalence of MM was significantly high (p=0.0005) among farmers who expose to pesticides for more than 5 years and carpenters who worked for more than 4 years.

Background: To Study the correlation between Fundus Fluorescein Angiography and Optical Coherence Tomography patterns in Clinically Significant Macular Oedema.Methods: This is a retrospective study which compares patterns in FFA and OCT in patients with CSME.Results: A total of 54 eyes were examined. Participants included 64.81 % males and 34.85% females. On Fundus Fluorescein Angiography (FFA) 37.03% eyes showed diffuse leak, 27.77% eyes showed focal leak, 35.18 % eyes showed CME, 53.7% eyes showed macular ischemia. Maximum pattern is macular ischemia type in FFA. On OCT 42.6 % eyes showed spongy oedema, 68.51% eyes showed combined pattern, 48.15 % eyes showed ERM/Traction, 46.3 % eyes showed CME, 40.7 % eyes showed hard exudates 14.8 % eyes showed serous detachment.Conclusions: Both FFA and OCT are indispensable tools for diagnosis and management of Diabetic macular oedema. Measurement of central foveal thickness, tractional, ERM was possible with OCT but large number of patients showed macular ischemia on FFA which was not possible to diagnose with OCT. So, both FFA and OCT are necessary for management of Diabetic macular oedema.

Published: April 2017

Background: Every year, more than 10 million children die in developing countries before they reach their fifth birthday. Seven in 10 of these deaths are due to acute respiratory infections mostly pneumonia, diarrhoea, measles, malnutrition & combination of these illnesses. The rationale of our study is to assess the profile of childhood illness in the paediatrics out- patient department at ESI-PGIMSR and MC, Joka, Kolkata, India so that the same burden can be minimised & to promote healthy upbringing of children below five years of age.Methods: This was an observational study of cross-sectional design conducted among the mother-child pair (child belonging to the age group of 2 months-5 years) visiting Pediatrics OPD during the study period i.e. 4 weeks. Convenience sampling method was used. The participants whose guardians did not give consent for the study & were seriously ill were excluded from this study. A pre-designed and pre-tested interview schedule was used. After giving a brief introduction about the topic, verbal consent was taken & face to face interview was conducted in local language. Data was compiled & computed in SPSS software version 20.Results: According to the IMNCI classification, 15.9% of the study subjects had severe pneumonia, 17.8% had pneumonia. 1.9% of the study subjects had severe dehydration. None of the respondents presented with some dehydration. Only 1% of the respondents presented with anemia. 4.9% of the respondents presented with severe malnutrition, 13.8% of them had malnutrition according to IMNCI classification.31.7% of the respondents had primary immunisation.67.3% of them had been breastfed. Among them 41.2% of them were breastfed 8 times & more a day.92% of them had supplementary feeding as rice, 33.3% of them had supplementary feeding as baby food. 69.3% of them had complained of change in food habit during illness.Conclusions: Proper counselling to parents regarding prevention of common morbidities like pneumonia, diarrhoea, malnutrition etc. should be provided at each and every possible hospital contact. Awareness about danger signs & symptoms of urgent hospitalisation should be imparted using pamphlets or other health educational materials. Health workers also should undergo proper training so that proper classification of the conditions as well as efficient management could be provided.

Authors: Pradhan Ashish , Khatri Dheeraj , Adhikari Luna 
Published: April 2017

Background: There is a high prevalence of HIV infection in adolescents of India, especially the north eastern states but awareness on blood borne viral infections among them is poor.Methods: Four hundred and ninety students aged thirteen to nineteen from seven schools and seven colleges of East Sikkim were interviewed on behavior related to transmission of blood borne viral infections and their blood was tested for Hepatitis B surface antigen, anti-Human Immunodeficiency virus and Hepatitis C virus antibodies.Results: None of the students tested positive for anti-Human Immunodeficiency virus and Hepatitis C virus antibodies and only one tested positive for Hepatitis B surface antigen. 6.7% of students gave history of heterosexual relationship.Conclusions: Despite the presence of behaviors associated with risk of acquiring blood borne viral infections in our adolescents we found a low prevalence of these infections, hence there is a need to do similar studies involving more and different cohort of adolescents.

Authors: Champatiray Jyotiranjan , Panigrahi Debasish , Mondal Dipankar , Satpathy Saroj Kumar 
Published: April 2017

Background: Hepatosplenomegaly is the simultaneous enlargement of liver and spleen. Hepatosplenomegaly is a sign seen in various disease processes in infants and children. So, an attempt was made in the present study to know the various etiological factors and clinical features and clinical outcome of hepatosplenomegaly in the cases admitted in SVPPGIP and SCB Medical College and Hospital, Cuttack.Methods: A tertiary care hospital based prospective study was carried out in 150 children between1 month to 14 year of age for a period of 2 years.Results: The most common presenting features was anemia (79.3%) followed by fever (78%) and jaundice (38.7%). Infectious (50%) causes are commonest aetiology of hepatosplenomegaly followed by haematological (36%) and congestive (6%) causes. Infectious etiology was commonly constituted by malaria (25.2%) due to high prevalence of malaria in rural Odisha. Mortality is significant in infectious and congestive aetiologies among younger age groups whereas haematological causes have favorable outcome.Conclusions: A detailed history and thorough physical examination should be carried out in every case of hepatosplenomegaly to reach a diagnosis and determine further management plans. Since clinical outcome of children with infectious and congestive aetiologies are overwhelmingly poor, it can be improved by intervention at earliest time possible and aggressive treatment.

Authors: Natani Bhagwan S. , Goyal Pardeep , Agarwal Ankit , Bhatia Sumit , Kumar Malvika 
Published: April 2017

Background: Meningitis is a serious illness of childhood. CSF Gram stain and culture is the gold standard for diagnosis which is a costly and time consuming. So, this study was conducted with the objective to measure the specificity, sensitivity, positive and negative predictive values and diagnostic accuracy of CSF-CRP in the diagnosis of bacterial meningitis.Methods: This prospective study was conducted in Department of Pediatrics, National Institute of Medical Sciences and Research, Jaipur. Children between 1 month to 12 years of age admitted with acute history of fever and seizure were included. CSF was sent for CRP estimation and other laboratory investigations. CSF CRP was determined qualitatively and value >6mcg/ml was considered positive. Patients were divided into three groups based on clinical and CSF findings. Group 1 (Bacterial meningitis), Group 2 (Aseptic Meningitis) and Group 3 (No meningitis/Control Group). Statistical analysis was done using software SPSS version 23.Results: 120 patients were enrolled in our study. 65% of our cases were males. The mean age of our cases was 74.9±39.8 months. 48 cases had bacterial meningitis, 42 cases had Aseptic Meningitis and 30 cases had no meningitis. CSF-CRP was positive in 35 cases of Bacterial meningitis, 6 cases of aseptic meningitis and negative in all cases of control group. Hence the Sensitivity, Specificity, Positive Predictive Value, Negative Predictive Value and Diagnostic Accuracy of CSF-CRP for diagnosis of bacterial meningitis were 72.92%, 85.71%, 85.71%, 73.47% and 78.89% respectively. CSF-CRP cases of bacterial meningitis were also found to have a poor outcome.Conclusions:CSF-CRP can be used as an initial test for the diagnosis of Bacterial Meningitis till other confirmatory test reports are awaited.
