AIMS AND OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the level of hs-CRP in patients of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and to correlate it with various complications of AMI and in-hospital outcome. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A total of 90 subjects including 60 patients of AMI and 30 age and sex matched controls were included for study. The diagnosis of AMI was made on the basis of WHO criteria. The blood sample was drawn for measurement of hs-CRP, Troponin T/I and Lipid profile within six hours of admission. STUDY DESIGN: Prospective open labelled cohort study. OBSERVATION AND RESULTS: The mean hs-CRP in controls and cases was 1.7±0.23 mg/l and 3.32 ±0.69 mg/l respectively. The mean hs-CRP in patients who expired was 4.61±1.20 mg/l, whereas in those who survived was 2.81 ±1.42 mg/l (p < 0.001). The mean value of Troponin I in patients who expired was 5.47 ±1.7 ng/ml whereas in those who survived, was 3.03 ±1.55 ng/ml (p < 0.001). The mean hs-CRP among cases with various complications of AMI (atrioventricular blocks ventricular tachycardia, and hypotension) was in high risk group (> 3 mg/l). CONCLUSION: The level of hs-CRP in subjects presenting with AMI were elevated indicating the vulnerability of the atheromatous plaque. The adverse hospital outcome was correlated with the hs-CRP levels in higher risk group (> 3 mg/l). Finally a correlation was observed between levels of hs-CRP and complications of AMI though statistically insignificant. Hence hs-CRP may be used as a marker of short term prognosis in patients of AMI along with conventional markers like Troponin T / I.Keywords

A series of 2-(substituted phenyl)-3-[5'-(2"-oxo-2H-chromen-3'-yl)-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl]-1,3-thiazolidin-4-ones 4-16 were synthesized in good yield and evaluated for their possible anticonvulsant and neurotoxic study. All the synthesized compounds were in good agreement with elemental and spectral data. Majority of the compounds were active in MES test. All the compounds were less neurotoxic than the standard drug phenytoin.Keywords

Wide Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA) offers global mobile multimedia communication capabilities by supporting high bandwidth and data rate up to 2 Mbps at chip rate of 3.84 Mcps and 5 MHz bandwidth. But the performance of the WCDMA system is degraded with various factors such as Interference, fading and scattering. The work in this paper analyzed the effect of Zero Forcing Successive Interference Cancellation (ZF-SIC) for quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK) and binary phase shift keying (BPSK) in WCDMA system. The ZF-SIC scheme is less complex and gives better performance as compared to other interference cancellation schemes. The ZF-SIC scheme is analyzed at the varying values of various parameters of Root Raised Cosine (RRC) filter. The results are obtained in terms of improvement in the Bit error rate (BER) at different values of signal to noise ratio (SNR). The simulation results indicated significant improvement in the signal quality of WCDMA system.Keywords

In the present paper a theory for 2D slender bodies at high angle of attack in hypersonic flow has been developed to determine the aerodynamic derivatives in pitch for different Mach numbers. The present theory has been applied to a sharp thick wedge with attached shock case. Using the theory, a relation for a piston moving in a cylinder at any velocity and relations for stiffness and damping derivatives are obtained for zero incidence of the wedge and it is found to be dependent on flight Mach number and wedge semi vertex angle. The present method includes the thin wedge case as well, which was covered by Lighthill piston theory, and applies only for small amplitude and low reduced frequency case. Effect of viscosity and secondary wave reflections have been neglected. The results are obtained for wedges of different semi vertex angles and Mach numbers. It is observed that the stiffness and Damping derivatives increase with increase in the semi vertex angle and decrease with an increase in Mach number. At very high Mach number the Mach number independence principle holds good.Keywords

The adequate supply of the minerals is essential for the normal physiological behaviour of the animals. The toxicity or deficiency of any mineral or other nutrients in the diet is bound to interfere with the normal functioning of the body and hence the homeostatic equilibrium, which maintains normal blood composition may be affected. Since the haemoglobin content of the blood reveals the health status of the animals, the present survey study was carried out in Tarai area of Uttar Pradesh.- Correlation of Vitamin D Level with Different Components of Metabolic Syndrome

Objecive: The objective of the study to investigate the correlation between vitamin D level with different components of metabolic syndrome.
Patients and Methods: An observational cross-sectional study on 100 patients (male=55 and female=45), age range 30-60 year, was performed. Patients underwent physical examination and biochemical testing. Patients included who fulfill the IDF criteria of metabolic syndrome for South Asians.Analysis was performed using SPSS Statistical package for windows (SPSS VERSION 20).
Results: Only 6% of the subjects had optimal level of vitamin D level and 67% of subjects are deficient. There was highly significant inverse association between waist circumference, BMI, with vitamin D level in both male and female (p-value 0.001). Increased level of triglyceride level was associated with low vitamin D level (p=0.02) and could not find any association between HDL and vitamin D level (p=0.125). There were inverse association of fasting blood glucose and HbA1C with vitamin D level (p-value 0.014 and <0.001 respectively). No association between systolic and diastolic blood pressure was reported in the study(p-value 0.778 and p-0.563 respectively).
Conclusion: Our results suggest correlation of vitamin D level with some components (waist circumference, serum triglyceride and fasting plasma glucose) of metabolic syndrome.
