Abstract:
The radicular cyst has been classified as inflammatory cyst, as a consequence to pulpal necrosis with an associated periapical inflammatory response. Many times it is difficult to differentiate radicular cysts from the obligatory pre-existing chronic periapical periodontitis lesions radiographically. This paper presents the successful treatment of radicular cyst in the maxillary anterior region by surgical enucleation.

Abstract:
Glucocorticoid induced leucine zipper protein (GILZ) is a glucocorticoid receptor responsive protein; it plays a key role in autoimmunity suppression via Rel-A domain (p-65 subunit of NF-kB) interaction. To identify the interface residues (Hot spot residues) between the interacting proteins would reveal the importance of the biological function of the complex, since they are considered being a possible ways of disrupting the proteinprotein interaction. Computational methods to study protein-protein interactions are affordable when compared to experimental alanine scanning experiments. From the results, we studied the hydrogen bond forming aminoacids between the protein-protein complexes, predicted hydrogen bond forming aminoacids between the interacting proteins, are in the range of the experimentally predicted aminoacid length. Computational methods that predict the structure and specificity of protein-protein interactions can yield deep insight into the structural biology of many biochemical pathways.

Abstract:

Objective: The prospective study was done to determine the incidence of Multidrug resistant tuberculosis at our Tertiary care Hospital in South India.

Materials and methods: Smear positive respiratory samples collected over a period of one year were processed for detection of M.tuberculosis, using standard methods and subjected to susceptibility for 2 drugs - Isoniazid and Rifampicin by Absolute concentration method.

Results: Out of the117 smear positive respiratory samples collected, M.tuberculosis grew in 101 samples. Our study showed primary and acquired resistance for both drugs to be 1.25% and 19% respectively.

Conclusion: Finally our study showed MDR-TB to be present more in default patients than new cases. The data was in accordance with the prevalence values available from Indian and global studies.

Abstract:

Radiotherapy (RT) is largely used for head & neck malignancies as a primary therapy or adjuvant to surgery, or in conjunction with concurrent chemotherapy or as palliative treatment. Osteoradionecrosis (ORN) is usually a late complication of radiation exposure, occurring when irradiated bone becomes devitalized. Current prevalence rate is approx.5% whereas the frequency approached 15% less than 20 years ago. The purpose of this article is to report a case of osteoradionecrosis of the jaw.

Abstract:

The initial soil was silty loam having pH 4.90, Organic matter 1.92%, total N 0.12%, available P 4.00 µg g-1, K 0.040 meq 100 g-1, available Ca 1.50 meq 100 g-1, Mg 0.98 meq 100 g-1 and S 12.00 µg g-1. There were six lime treatments viz.T1: Control, T2 : 0.5 t lime ha-1 , T3 : 1.0 t lime ha-1, T4 : 1.5 t lime ha-1, T5 : 2.0 t lime ha-1, and T6 : 2.5 t lime ha-1. Dolochun was used as the liming material. The design of the experiment was Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD )with three replications. Every plot received 140.0 kg N, 25.0 kg P, 106.0 kg K, 3.06 kg S, 3.6 kg Zn and 0.6 kg B ha-1 from urea, TSP, MoP, gypsum, zinc sulphate (monohydrate) and boric acid, respectively. The post harvest soils were analyzed for pH, OM, available P, Ca, Mg and K. The application of different rates of lime to soil progressively increased pH, OM and availability of P and gradually decreased K, Ca and Mg in soils at 30 DAL. Liming significantly increased at 30 DAL pH, OM but K, P, Ca, Mg decreased from 60 DAL up to 120 DAL. Available K, P, Ca and Mg were significantly increased due to application of lime which was mainly associated with increased wheat yields.
