Measurement of total and allergen specific IgE (Immunoglobulin E) is often requested to assess possible allergy. The main objective of our study was to understand the relevance of allergen specific IgE testing in Indian population. This retrospective study was conducted at a Global Reference Laboratory in Mumbai from May 2020 to May 2022. Total available data of 65431 patients was included in the study. The data was sub grouped as per age group, gender, and positivity for specific allergens. Of the total 65431 patients, 34601 (52.88%) were Females and 30830 (47.12%) were Males. Among those tested for specific IgE allergen, positivity was found to be 30%. The dust allergy was the most prevalent (62.18%) followed by Insect allergy (52.69%) and food allergy (51.78%). Out of the 18377 patients tested for Specific allergens, 7340 (39.94%) had at least one allergen positive. The availability of multiple and allergen specific panels has proved to be a major tool for the detection and diagnosis of multiple allergies. Detection of allergy is necessary to avoid wrong diagnosis and mismanagement of disease. Combination of total IgE with specific IgE can be used as evidence of allergy along with clinical findings. It is recommended to proceed with clinically appropriate allergen specific IgE tests, regardless of total IgE concentration in patients with a history of an acute allergic reaction.","PeriodicalId":13899,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Clinical Biochemistry and Research","volume":"26 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82788622","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}

Therefore, this study was designed to evaluate the antioxydative and protective effects of aqueous and ethanolic extracts of trichilia emetica stem bark in albinos rats with alloxan-induced diabetes or adrenaline-induced hypertensive.: Two different batches of albinos rats were used distinctly and including a control one of 3 rats for each batch so a test group of 21 rats. Diabetes was induced by injecting Alloxane® intraperitoneally for 7 days. Hypertension was induced by injecting Adrenaline® intraperitoneally for eight days and we used visitech BP 2000 tools to measure arterial pressure. The aqueous and ethanolic extracts of Trichilia emetica were prepared and the obtained mixture was homogenized using a magnetic stirrer for 24 hours. Rats received the above-mentioned extracts orally at doses of 100 and 200 mg/kg bw for 6 days.: Aorta and heart activities of catalase were significantly increased. This same trend was observed with superoxide dismutase activity together with increasing AChE catalytic activity in vessels. Treatment of rats for seven days with extracts of Trichilia emetic and nifedipineproduced a significant decrease of antioxidative markers activities of catalase and SOD for aqueous and ethanolic extracts as well. This action was slightly above nifedipineone administrated at 10 and 20 mg/kg bw. For rats treated with Trichilia emetica or with diastabolwe registered a significant decrease of MDA and GSH concentration.Our results showed that the extracts have the potential to reduce the rate of reactive oxygen species and free radicals in rats with alloxane-induced diabetes or adrenaline-induced hypertensive. However, further large studies are needed to investigate the specific action and particularity of Trichilia emetica that could justify these activities.","PeriodicalId":13899,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Clinical Biochemistry and Research","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84605166","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}

Genes that influence the renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system (RAAS) appear to be particularly important among the many potential candidate components of EHT. The RAAS system plays an important role in BP regulation by maintaining vascular tone and renal hemodynamics. Most of these are mediated via the activation of the angiotensin II type 1 receptor (AT1R). Untreated hypertension increases the risk of developing cardiovascular diseases such as stroke, myocardial infarction, ischemic heart disease, and, target organ damage. A polymorphism in the 3’ untranslated region of the AT1R gene has been described with either an adenine (A) or a cytosine (C) base (A/C transversion) at the 1166 position that is associated with increased blood pressure. A total of 170 hypertensive patients and 170 normal subjects were included in the present study. Genomic DNA was isolated from peripheral blood leukocytes, amplified with PCR, and separated with gel electrophoresis to determine the AT1R genotype. On electrophoresis, the genotypes A/A-359 bp, A/C-220+139 bp, and C/C-220, 139, and 359 bp were identified. In hypertensive patients, the CC genotype was present in 21.18 percent (n = 36) as compared to 11.76 percent (n = 20) in non-hypertensive patients. In this study AT1R CC homozygote was significantly associated with hypertension (p = 0.019). The odds ratio related to the association of the prevalence of the CC genotype with hypertension was 2.014 (95% CI: 1.112–3.650).: From the present study, it is concluded that AT1R gene polymorphism is associated with hypertension, and with the CC genotype, the risk of hypertension increases in comparison to AC and AA. A allele is not significantly associated with hypertension, but the recessive and co-dominant modes of inheritance of allele C (CC) and its co-dominant mode (AC) are a genetic predisposition to hypertension.","PeriodicalId":13899,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Clinical Biochemistry and Research","volume":"76 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81137083","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}
