Item Alpha fetoprotein levels in newborn infants with reference to sex, gestational age and birth weight.(1989-07-01) Bansal, V; Kumari, K; Dixit, A; Sahib, M KAlpha fetoprotein (AFP) concentration was higher in the mature full term male infants than age matched females. An inverse correlation, at birth, between cord serum AFP level and duration of pregnancy was observed. In contrast no correlation between body weight and AFP levels exists in babies of either sex at identical gestational age.Item Carboxypeptidases from goat pancreas.(1973-09-01) Dua, R D; Dixit, AItem Culture appropriate indicators for monitoring growth and development of urban and rural children below 6 years.(1992-03-01) Dixit, A; Govil, S; Patel, N VIn this cross sectional study, 2000 apparently normal children aged 0-6 years (1200 urban and 800 rural), were nutritionally and developmentally assessed and their environment scrutinized for possible risk factors. Measurement of mid upper arm circumference (MUAC) using standard techniques revealed malnutrition in 44% of the rural and 24% of the urban children especially in the 2-6 years of age group. Culture appropriate indicators of psycho-social development picked up gross delays in gross motor (GM), vision and fine motor (V&FM) and language skills. Self help, concept hearing (SHCH) skills were recorded as normal while social skills were advanced particularly in the 0-2 years old urban group. By the use of the family protocols, low socio-economic status, malnutrition and 9 other risks factors have been generated for the urban group. No risk factor could be identified for the rural group. Better income emerged as the only real protective factor for the sample showing a direct positive relationship with the 45 skills tested, especially in the 2-6 years age group. Nineteen developmental skills were identified as powerful predictors of development. A prototype home based screening record was constructed for monitoring of growth and development which can be even used by minimally trained primary care worker.Item Effect of ascorbic acid & DMBA on lysosomal enzymes' activity in partially hepatectomized mouse liver.(1983-01-01) Dixit, A; Rao, A RItem Endogenous inhibitor of carboxypeptidase A from goat pancreas.(1975-06-01) Dua, R D; Bedi, G S; Dixit, AItem Interaction of human alpha fetoprotein with bilirubin.(1990-07-01) Bansal, V; Kumari, K; Dixit, A; Sahib, M KHuman alpha fetoprotein (AFP) binds bilirubin with an affinity somewhat lower than albumin. Free bilirubin was found to have an extinction maximum at 440 nm with an extinction coefficient of 4.97 x 10(4) M-1cm-1. AFP binding with the bile pigment elicits a blue shift while albumin interaction produced red spectral shift.Item Introduction of a segment of Rhizobium meliloti megaplasmid in Escherichia coli slows down its growth in minimal medium.(1992-04-01) Choubey, R; Randhawa, G S; Dixit, A; Sharma, C BItem Psychosocial development of urban children (below 2 years) using culture appropriate indicators of development.(1994-02-01) Dixit, A; Patel, N VSix hundred essentially normal children 15 days-2 years were randomly assessed for their nutritional and developmental status. Measurement of the mid-upper-arm circumference using the Jellife's technique was employed for a quick nutritional survey. For developmental assessment, the WHO suggested culture appropriate psychosocial Basic Test Battery was used. Shakir's classification of the results did not reveal any malnutrition. Analysis of the data revealed 'at par' performances in Gross Motor, Hearing and Self Help skills and delays in Vision and Fine Motor, Language and Concept Skills. Social skills were particularly advanced.Item Purification and characterization of carboxypeptidase A from goat pancreas.(1973-09-01) Dixit, A; Dua, R DItem Purification and characterization of ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase from triticale.(1994-04-01) Khan, M A; Dixit, A; Upadhyaya, K CRibulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase has been isolated from a synthetic cereal triticale and purified using a newly developed rapid procedure involving precipitation with ammonium sulphate (35-55% saturation), DEAE-cellulose (DE-52) chromatography and filtration through Sepharose CL-68. Molecular weights of the enzyme subunits are 15.5 and 52 kDa which corresponds to 540 kDa for the hexadecameric holoenzyme. Isoelectric focussing showed that the enzyme has a pI of 4.2. Various kinetic constants determined under aerobic conditions are: Km (CO2), 118 microM; Km (RuBP), 220 microM (at 20 mM NaHCO3) and Vmax, 690 nmole CO2 fixed/mg enzyme/min.Item Role conflict in nursing profession--a study (Part II).(1991-11-01) Dixit, AItem Role conflict in nursing profession: a study.(1991-10-01) Dixit, AItem Substrate specificity of goat carboxypeptidase A.(1974-09-01) Dixit, A; Dua, R D
