No full textA prospective evaluation of prevalence of microbial flora and significance of intraoperative Peritoneal culture of fungus in perforation Peritonitis
No full textObjective: To study the prevalence of intraabdominal flora and significance of intraoperative peritoneal fluid culture of fungus in patients with perforation peritonitis.
Study design: Prospective study.
Methods: In this study, we analyzed 91 patients of gastrointestinal perforation admitted during the period from January 2011 to July 2012 in Department of Surgery. Any patient undergoing exploratory laparotomy for gastrointestinal perforation above 5 years was included. Intraoperative abdominal fluid samples were collected and cultured.
Results: Ninety one patients of gastrointestinal perforation were studied. The mean presenting age was 35.21+ 12.87 years. Gastro duodenal perforation was the commonest (48.35%), 34.07% were having ileal perforation, 6.59% were having appendicular perforation , 5.49% were having jejunal and 5.49% had large bowel perforation. Out of 91 patients, 79 (86.8%) patients showed growth of either bacteria or fungus and in 12 (13.2%) patient’s culture was sterile. Gram positive cocci was found in 46.1%, E.Coli in 40.65%, Klebsiella in 14.28%, Enterobacter in 1.098% and Pseudomonas in 1.089% of patients. Fungal growth was seen in 48.3% of patients. Patients with fungal positive culture had superficial surgical site infection in 77.27%, deep surgical site infection 59.09% and residual abscesses formation in 27.27% of cases. Patient with no growth of fungus have superficial site infection in 40%, deep surgical site infection in 25.71% and residual abscess formation in 5.71%.
Conclusion: Positive peritoneal fungal co-infection is a bad prognostic factor and a significant risk factor for adverse outcome in perforation peritonitis
STUDY OF CORRELATION BETWEEN COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY AND NASAL ENDOSCOPY IN CHRONIC HEADACHE
No full textTransforming Non-innocent Phenalenyl to a Potent Photoreductant: Captivating Reductive Functionalization of Aryl Halides through Visible-Light-Induced Electron Transfer Processes
No full textHerein, we have established a phenalenyl-based molecular
scaffold
which serves as a potent photoreductant utilizing the empty NBMO in
the presence of a base to form a radical anion which, upon photoexcitation,
behaves as a stronger reductant and accomplishes the cleavage of strong
C–X (X = Cl, Br, I) bonds under milder reaction conditions.
The base was found to be involved in a dual role of electron and hydrogen
atom donor. Further, the aryl radical formed by the homolysis of C–X
bonds in this technique was captured for the Csp2–Csp2 coupling with unactivated arenes. The photoreductant potency
of the phenalenyl-based catalytic system was further extended to C–P
as well as C–B bond formation reactions. EPR and lifetime studies
reveal the formation of a persistent radical having a sufficient lifetime
to take part in the reaction by the PET mechanism. Different spectroscopic
techniques combined with DFT calculations were utilized for the characterization
of active catalytic species and for the elucidation of plausible mechanistic
pathways. This not only is the initial report of the application of
phenalenyl as a photoreductant but also provides a completely metal-free
(alkali and transition metal) approach for the challenging reductive
functionalization of aryl halides at room temperature
NUCLEAR QUADRUPOLE RESONANCE ZEEMAN STUDY OF
No full textAuthor Institution: Department of Chemistry, Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State UniversityThe Zeeman splittings of the nuclear quadrupole resonance transition at 16.303 MHz in a single crystal of barium chloride dihydrate, has been studied and the zero-splitting loci for both physically non-equivalent lattice sites have been determined. From the study it was found that the nuclear quadrupole coupling constant is = 29.8 MHz and that the asymmetry parameter is . The direction of the electric field gradient (EFG) principal axis system relative to the crystal axis system was found. The magnitudes and directions of the EFG tensor components were calculated by using a point charge-point dipole model and isotropic polarizabilities. By using a projected Sternheimer factor of -80 this leads to a calculated coupling constant of 60 MHz and an asymmetry parameter of 0.1. Both the experimental and calculated values of the parameters are in agreement with the crystal symmetry. In view of the simplifications inherent in the model used this represents reasonable agreement
Transcriptome and Co-Expression Network Analyses Identify Key Genes Regulating Nitrogen Use Efficiency in Brassica juncea L.
No full textAbstractNitrate is the main source of inorganic nitrogen for plants, which also act as signaling molecule. Present study was aimed to understand nitrate regulatory mechanism in Brassica juncea cultivars, with contrasting nitrogen-use-efficiency (NUE) viz. Pusa Bold (PB, high-NUE) and Pusa Jai Kisan (PJK, low-NUE), employing RNA-seq approach. A total of 4031, 3874 and 3667 genes in PB and 2982, 2481 and 2843 genes in PJK were differentially expressed in response to early, low (0.25 mM KNO3), medium (2 mM KNO3) and high (4 mM KNO3) nitrate treatments, respectively, as compared to control (0 mM KNO3). Genes of N-uptake (NRT1.1, NRT1.8, and NRT2.1), assimilation (NR1, NR2, NiR, GS1.3, and Fd-GOGAT) and remobilization (GDH2, ASN2–3 and ALaT) were highly-upregulated in PB than in PJK in response to early nitrate treatments. We have also identified transcription factors and protein kinases that were rapidly induced in response to nitrate, suggesting their involvement in nitrate-mediated signaling. Co-expression network analysis revealed four nitrate specific modules in PB, enriched with GO terms like, “Phenylpropanoid pathway”, “Nitrogen compound metabolic process” and “Carbohydrate metabolism”. The network analysis also identified HUB transcription factors like mTERF, FHA, Orphan, bZip and FAR1, which may be the key regulators of nitrate-mediated response in B. juncea.</jats:p
