Study of serum amylase in acute viral hepatitis.

Serum total Amylase and its heat stable fraction (HSF) were studied in 10 healthy controls, and 20 patients of Viral hepatitis. A highly significant (p < 0.001) elevation in the levels of total and HSF of Serum amylase was found in acute viral hepatitis, mainly due to the HSF which originates from hepatitis. The levels declined significantly after 10 days when the disease regressed and there was evidence of improvement in clinical and functional status of the liver. Hence an estimation of total and HSF of Serum amylase proved to have some diagnostic and prognostic importance.

Effect of pinealectomy on daily rhythm of blood glucose in rabbits.

Daily rhythm of blood glucose was studied in superior cervical ganglionectomized (SCGX), sham operated and normal rabbits. A typical daily rhythm was observed in normal animals which was not influenced by surgical procedures. However, ganglionectomy, which tantamount to physiological elimination of pineal gland, caused complete reversal of this rhythm. Probable role of pineal gland in controlling blood glucose daily rhythm is suggested.

Studies on histamine and histaminase in spring catarrh (vernal conjunctivitis).

Patients with spring catarrh (vernal conjunctivitis) were studied for blood histamine (36) and plasma histaminase (16), and were compared with control histamine (22) and histaminase (19) levels. The patients group showed significantly higher histamine and lower histaminase levels than the respective controls. In addition, the patients also had higher eosinophil counts and erythrocyte sedimentation rate. The data suggest that a systemic allergic process may be the most important underlying causative factor in this disorder.
