Item Adenosine deaminase activity in pleural fluid.(1987-02-01) Gupta, S K; Mitra, KItem Alopecia universalis in a case of systemic lupus erythematosus.(2002-08-08) Chaudhuri, S; Basu, K; Dhar, M C; Das, S; Chatterjee, G; Banerjee, G; Mitra, KWe report a case of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) who presented with alopecia universalis. MR, a 23 years female patient was admitted with alopecia universalis and other features of SLE like peripheral arthritis, fever, nephritis, butterfly rash over the malar regions, positive ANA and anti-ds DNA antibodies. There was a gap of four years between the onset of alopecia universalis and other clinical features of SLE. The alopecia was of non-scarry variety and responded to systemic and topical steroids.Item Appraisal or SACE.(1988-08-01) Gupta, S K; Mitra, KItem Beclomethasone dipropionate and betamethasone valerate with sodium cromoglycate in steroid-dependent asthma in adults.(1985-06-01) Gkupta, S K; Mitra, K; Chatterjee, SItem Beclomethasone dipropionate and betamethasone valerate with sodium cromoglycate in steroid-dependent asthma in children.(1984-03-01) Gupta, S K; Chatterjee, S; Mitra, KItem A case of foot dystonia with peripheral lesion.(2000-12-09) Roy, J; Mitra, K; Gangopadhyay, P K; Das, S; Roy, T; Maity, BItem Cell mediated immunity in sarcoidosis.(1988-10-01) Dutta, S K; Gupta, S K; Mitra, KItem A clinical profile of heart disease in pregnancy.(1986-09-01) Panja, M; Mitra, K; Kar, A K; Chhetri, M; Panja, S; Mitra, J; Lahiri, DItem Corticosteroids in asthma: pharmacology and therapeutics.(1988-03-01) Gupta, S K; Mitra, KItem Cutaneous rhinosporidiosis.(1996-02-01) Mitra, K; Maity, P KItem Demonstration of two forms of vitellogenin in serum of estradiol-17 beta-treated Indian major carp, Labeo rohita.(1992-06-01) Nath, P; Bhakta, M; Mitra, KVitellogenin (Vg) synthesis was induced in the male and non-vitellogenic female Rohu, the Indian major carp, by estradiol-17 beta(E2) where effect was more in female. A crude preparation of Vg was isolated in the second peak after gel filtration on Ultrogel AcA 34 from the sera of vitellogenic female Rohu and E2-treated male and female Rohu. Estimation of alkali-labile phosphorus was shown to be used as an index of Vg. Native-PAGE analysis has revealed the presence of two forms of Vg (Vg1: 430,000 dalton and Vg2:240,000 dalton) in Vg fraction obtained after gel filtration as well as in the sera of E2-treated male and female Rohu. Immunological cross-reaction studies between antiserum to yolk protein and Vg fractions as well as the sera from E2-treated male and female Rohu further indicates the presence of two precipitin lines (not clearly visible as the two lines fused to form a thick line) suggesting the occurrence of two forms of Vg in the Rohu.Item Dinitrochlorobenzene test in sarcoidosis.(1986-11-01) Gupta, S K; Mitra, K; Dutta, S KItem Elimination of iodine deficiency disorders--current status in Purba Medinipur district of West Bengal, India.(2008-07-05) Biswas, A B; Chakraborty, I; Das, D K; Chakraborty, A; Ray, D; Mitra, KBACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Towards sustainable elimination of iodine deficiency disorders (IDD), the existing programme needs to be monitored through recommended methods and indicators. Thus, we conducted the study to assess the current status of IDD in Purba Medinipur district, West Bengal. METHODS: It was a community based cross-sectional study; undertaken from October 2006-April 2007. 2400 school children, aged 8-10 years were selected by '30 cluster' sampling technique. Indicators recommended by the WHO/UNICEF/ICCIDD were used. Subjects were clinically examined by standard palpation technique for goitre, urinary iodine excretion was estimated by wet digestion method and salt samples were tested by spot iodine testing kit. RESULTS: The total goitre rate (TGR) was 19.7% (95% CI = 18.1-21.3 %) with grade I and grade II (visible goitre) being 16.7% and 3% respectively. Goitre prevalence did not differ by age but significant difference was observed in respect of sex. Median urinary iodine excretion level was 11.5 mcg/dL and none had value less than 5 mcg/dL. Only 50.4% of the salt samples tested were adequately iodised (> or = 15 ppm). CONCLUSION: The district is in a phase of transition from iodine deficiency to iodine sufficiency as evident from the high goitre prevalence (19.7%) and median urinary iodine excretion (11.5 mcg/dL) within optimum limit. But, salt iodisation level far below the recommended goal highlights the need for intensified efforts towards successful transition.Item Estimation of daily (5 HIAA 5-hydroxyindole acetic acid) excretion in cases of chronic recurrent headache.(1974-10-01) Mitra, K; Makashir, P D; Virmani, VItem Evaluation of COPD.(1985-01-01) Gupta, S K; Mitra, KItem Experimental studies on some effects of prostaglandin E2 in acute renal failure.(1990-01-01) Mitra, K; De, M KAcute renal failure has been produced in rats with oral administration of uranyl nitrate 40 mg/kg of body weight once, and histopathological changes in the kidneys with blood biochemical values were studied by sacrificing them after 36 hours of feeding. Prostaglandin E2 in 100 micrograms/kg of body weight was orally administered to another group of rats along with uranyl nitrate 40 mg/kg of body weight once and sacrificed them 36 hours after feeding. It was found that prostaglandin E2 has some protective effect in experimental model of acute renal failure as concluded from improved histological findings and blood biochemical values.Item Failure of long-acting, recently introduced beta-agonist in asthma.(1987-02-01) Gupta, S K; Mitra, KItem Failure of long-acting, recently-introduced B-agonists in asthma.(1985-04-01) Gupta, S K; Mitra, KItem Follow-up results of balloon angioplasty for native coarctation of aorta.(1996-11-01) Biswas, P K; Mitra, K; De, S; Banerjee, A K; Roy, S; Das Biswas, A; Biswas, A; Chatterjee, S S; Maity, A KBalloon angioplasty of native discrete (< 1 cm) coarctation of thoracic aorta was performed in 29 patients [aged 13 to 31 years (mean 21.5 +/- 5.8 years), 22 males and 7 females], from March 1993 to December 1995. The patients were followed up for two years. After angioplasty, peak systolic arterial pressure (PSAP) decreased from 173.5 +/- 18.1 mm Hg to 122.5 +/- 9.9 mm Hg (p < 0.001), peak systolic pressure gradient (PSG) decreased by 90.9 percent from 86.2 +/- 15.77 to 7.77 +/- 3.8 mm Hg (p < 0.001) and the coarcted segment diameter increased about three times from 3.7 +/- 1.6 to 10.9 +/- 3.3 mm (p < 0.001). PSG decreased to < 10 mm Hg in 27 patients (93%) whereas in the other two patients PSG was 17 and 13 mm Hg. Restenosis appeared in 2 patients (6.8%); aneurysm in one patient (3.4%) which remained static even after 1.3 years of follow-up; mild dissection in 3 patients (10.3%); temporary femoral artery occlusion in 2 (6.8%) patients who recovered with heparin injection. Though hypertension disappeared after balloon dilatation in all patients, it reappeared in 3 patients (10.3%) within 7 days and in 10 patients (34.5%) within 6 months. In conclusion, balloon angioplasty of CoA is a good alternative to surgical correction.Item Heavy metals in water of the rivers Hooghly and Haldi at Haldia and their impact on fish.(2005-07-13) Samanta, S; Mitra, K; Chandra, K; Saha, K; Bandopadhyay, S; Ghosh, AThe paper deals with the measurement of five heavy metals viz., Cd, Cu, Mn, Pb and Zn in water of the rivers Hooghly and Haldi at Haldia during June 1999 to October 2002. The industrial effluent out fall (OF) at Patikhali, Haldia was also taken as sampling site along with above out fall (AOF) and below out fall (BOF) sites. Most of the metals exhibited their least concentration at the sampling site above the Haldia industrial area of river Hooghly. The average concentrations of the studied metals were Cd 2-14, Cu 5-19, Mn 8-88, Pb 17-41 and Zn 22-37 microg l(-1). Comparison of the data with the Criterion Continuous Concentration (CCC) of USA revealed that Cd, Cu and Pb were the pollutants present at alarming level to disturb the aquatic life process in the zone. The effect was found to reflect on the tissue level aberrations in the residential fishes. The other two metals viz., Mn and Zn were probably less harmful to the aquatic ecosystem. In India, necessity is felt to develop the CCC values, which will be more appropriate for protection of aquatic environment than comparing with drinking water standards.
