Chandrika","doi":"10.26611/10021921","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.26611/10021921","url":null,"abstract":"Background: The thyroid hormones are involved in controlling metabolism, growth and functions of various organ systems of our body. Hypothyroidism, a very common endocrinopathy features reduced production of thyroid hormones. In hypothyroidism we encounter abnormal circulating lipid fractions which is termed as ‘Dyslipidemia’. The coexistence of dyslipidemia and hypothyroidism is associated with development of atherosclerosis. Aim: This research is undertaken to assess the potential of TC/HDL-C ratio to disclose dyslipidemia in hypothyroidism. Methodology: The study consists of two major groups, the ‘Cases’ comprising of Fifty hypothyroid patients and ‘Controls’, with fifty age and gender matched healthy adults. The Cases are further subdivided into Twenty ‘Known cases’ of Hypothyroid patients, already receiving treatment and thirty ‘New cases’. The ‘New cases’ sub group further is subdivided as Twenty-one ‘Overt hypothyroids’(OH) and nine ‘Subclinical Hypothyroids’ (SCH). The Biochemical parameters estimated in all subjects of the study includes, Serum TSH, T3, T4, Total Cholesterol (TC) and High density lipoprotein-cholesterol(HDL-C). TC/HDL ratio was then calculated . Result: The study shows a significant elevation (p = 0.05) in the TC/HDL-C ratio in hypothyroid patients (3.67 ± 1.02) when compared to healthy controls (3.29 ± 0.95). TC/HDL-C ratio is more elevated in OH (4.01 ± 1.28) than in SCH (3.46 ± 0.92). The levels in ‘New cases’ sub-group and OH sub sub group have significantly higher ratio than in healthy controls (p = 0.02 and p = 0.01 respectively). TC/HDL-C ratio value in “known cases’ group who are those hypothyroid patients on Levo-thyroxine therapy is (3.40 ± 0.61) less than those who are newly diagnosed. Conclusion: TC/HDL-C ratio is not only raised in hypothyroid patients but it is seen increasing with severity and prolonged duration of disease. The calculation of TC/HDL-C ratio should be routinely put into practice to detect hypothyroid patients with dyslipidemia.","PeriodicalId":121008,"journal":{"name":"MedPulse International Journal of Biochemistry","volume":"85 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115329263","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It may range from mild discomfort to a severe, life-threatening illness. Methods: It was Prospective and observational study. All the patients admitted in medicine department and ICU and diagnosed as acute pancreatitis. Study period was January 2018 to September 2019. And sample size was 30. Investigation was done in the department of Biochemistry. Results: The prevalence rate of acute pancreatitis was higher in male than female with a ratio of 1.72:1 and we found maximum patients were in the age group of 41-50 years. While analysing the biochemical parameters we found very obvious a high lipase, amylase and triglyceride level in the study subjects accounting most of the cases as these biochemical parameters are directly related to acute pancreatitis. Conclusion: Pancreatic necrosis may lead to the development of pancreatic pseudocysts or tissue abscess, common complications associated with pancreatitis. A better understanding of the nature of cardiac dysfunction in this setting may allow more accurate diagnosis, prognostication, and management.","PeriodicalId":121008,"journal":{"name":"MedPulse International Journal of Biochemistry","volume":"83 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130356057","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Nitric oxide, an important second messanger plays a pivotal role in maintaining vasomotor tone and its level is also found to be altered in many chronic vascular disorders. The particulates in cigarette smoke is presumed to affect the production NO in vascular endothelium. Hence, it is proposed to study the effect of cigarette smoking in influencing Nitric oxide level. The study sample comprised of 138 chronic smokers and144 apparently healthy nonsmokers . Plasma glucose, total cholesterol (TC), high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-c) and triglyceride concentration (TGL) were determined enzymatically and serum NO index (NOx) estimated by Griess method. It was found that serum NOx level was not influenced by biochemical parameters like plasma glucose and lipid profile. The estimated mean NOx levels was slightly lower in smokers(15.92 with SD 5.4) than in nonsmokers (16.66with SD 6.73) . However the difference was not statistically significant ( P= 0.31). It is concluded that there is no significant correlation between serum nitric oxide level and smoking, based on this study.","PeriodicalId":121008,"journal":{"name":"MedPulse International Journal of Biochemistry","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130419805","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
