Effect of cement dust on the growth and yield of Brassica campestris L.

Plants of Brassica campestris L. var. G-S20 were treated with cement dust, at rates of 3 (B(1)), 5 (B(2)) and 7 (B(3)) gm(-2) day(-1) for 90 days. Treated plants showed a consistent reduction in growth, photosynthetic pigments, yield and oil content over control plants. The overall phytomass of treated plants was significantly decreased, the maximum reduction being 64.8% in B(3) plants, followed by B(2) plants (55.3%) and B(1) plants (43.69%) at 60 days. The effect on oil content was also greatest in B(3) plants, where it was decreased by 6.13%.

Polyamine concentrations in bone marrow aspirates of children with leukemia and other malignancies.

High-pressure liquid chromatography analysis of polyamines in bone narrow from leukemic and nonleukemic subjects demonstrated increased concentrations of putrescine, spermidine, and spermine associated with increased cellularity. The most striking abnormality was the marked elevation of putrescine. Bone marrow polyamine analysis may be an adjunct for evaluation of leukemia patients.

Diagnosis of microfilaria in gastric brush cytology. A case report.

BACKGROUND: Filariasis due to Wuchereria bancrofti is endemic to southern Asia. While the laboratory diagnosis has been conventionally made by demonstrating microfilariae in peripheral blood smears, these have also been occasionally diagnosed on aspiration cytology of various organs. CASE: A 54-year-old male presented with a burning sensation in the epigastrium of five months' duration. Endoscopic brush biopsy revealed numerous sheathed microfilariae of W bancrofti. The patient had had no symptoms suggestive of filarial infection in the past. Cytology revealed numerous microfilariae among lymphocytes and neutrophils. CONCLUSION: This case illustrates that a thorough examination of gastric brushings can at times reveal unexpected findings and may prove to be a useful supplement to endoscopic biopsy.
