Biogenic Ag-doped ZnO nanostructures induced cytotoxicity in luminal A and triple-negative human breast cancer cells.

To evaluate the apoptosis-inducing properties of undoped and silver-doped-zinc-oxide nanoparticles (SDZONs) synthesized using against MCF-7 (Luminal-A) and MDA-MB-231 (Triple-negative) breast cancer cell lines. Nanostructures were developed by facile biohydrothermal method and characterized by x-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), and high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM). The comparative effect of doping and dose concentration of nanostructures on cytotoxicity was measured using MTT and trypan-blue-exclusion assay.

Traumatic pulmonary pseudocyst: a case report.

Traumatic pulmonary pseudocyst is a rare clinical event that may occur following chest trauma. This complication usually occurs as a result of blunt trauma and rarely, due to a penetrating injury. We report an unusual case of a 10-year-old boy who developed a left-sided pneumothorax along with a traumatic pulmonary pseudocyst when he was hit by a cricket ball while playing.

Study of serum amylase in acute viral hepatitis.

Serum total Amylase and its heat stable fraction (HSF) were studied in 10 healthy controls, and 20 patients of Viral hepatitis. A highly significant (p < 0.001) elevation in the levels of total and HSF of Serum amylase was found in acute viral hepatitis, mainly due to the HSF which originates from hepatitis.

Intraoperative myocardial ischaemia in surgical patients with treated ischaemic heart disease.

Twenty patients were divided into 2 groups. Group - A had 10 ASA Grade I while Group - B consisted of 10 asymptomatic patients with ECG evidence of ischaemia. One week of coronary dilator treatment was given to the patients in group-B before surgery.
