Short Method

The thiamine content (by a short method) and the protein content of 754 samples of the 1946 wheat crop and 458 samples of the 1947 wheat crop were determined. In 1946 four varieties were tested m each of the four soil zones, while in 1947 three varieties were tested on the Brown and Dark Brown soils and four on the Black and Black-Gray Transition soils. A highly significant positive correlation between thiamine and protein content was found for the two crops. No significant differences between thiamine values of the Thatcher 1946 and 1947 crop were found. Similarly, an analysis of variance for thiamine content of Redman in the Black and Black-Gray Transition soil zones and Rescue in the Brown and Dark Brown soil zones, for the two crop years showed no significant difference. Of the four varieties, Thatcher, Rescue, Pelissier, and Stewart grown in the Brown and Dark Brown soil zones, Stewart was significantly higher in thiamine content. The greatest range in thiamine content was 2.73 μgm. per gm. for Thatcher in the Black-Gray Transition soil zone (mean 4.01 μgm. per gm.) to 9.57 μgm. per gm. for Stewart in the Brown soil zone (mean 6.18 μgm. per gm.). A highly significant difference was found for varieties grown in different zones for both years. The values decreased as the soil changed from brown to dark brown, to black and degraded black, and finally to gray.

A study was made of the thiamine and riboflavin content of Marquis wheat, Newal barley, and Victory oats grown in Alberta in the years 1944 and 1945 under widely different conditions of soil and climate. The mean thiamine content of Victory oats, 5.6 ± 1.5 μgm. per gm., was found to be significantly higher than that of Marquis wheat, 4.4 ± 1.2, or of Newal barley, 4.6 ± 1.0 μgm. per gm. A positive correlation between protein and thiamine content was demonstrated m wheat and oats but not in barley. In all three grains the mean thiamine content of samples grown in the brown soil zone was significantly higher than that of samples grown in the gray soil zone. The mean values obtained for riboflavin were 1.34 ± 0.23, 1.25 ± 0.25, and 1.27 ± 0.18 μgm. per gm. in wheat, barley, and oats, respectively. No significant correlation between protein and riboflavin was found in any of the three cereals. The mean riboflavin content of samples of wheat, barley, and oats grown on gray soils was slightly lower than that of samples grown on black or brown soils.

There was a significant positive correlation between protein content and the amounts of trypsin and carboxypeptidase B (CPB) in the digestive portion of the midgut of Glossina morsitans morsitans, 24, 48, 72, and 96 h after feeding on a rabbit. CPB and trypsin activity were also positively correlated. Trypsin and CPB production were stimulated, to varying degrees, by bovine serum albumin (BSA), α-globulin, β-globulin, γ-globulin, and haemoglobin; the greatest response was to BSA. Peptides derived from BSA by trypsin cleavage also stimulated production of trypsin and CPB.

Crop N Uptake

Nitrogen availability to a spring wheat crop was examined in the cropping season in a side-by-side comparison of no-till (first year) and tillage fallow in an undulating farm field in the Brown soil zone in southwestern Saskatchewan. Thirty different sampling points along a grid in each tillage landscape were randomly selected, representing 10 each of shoulder, footslope and level landscape positions. Nitrogen availability was studied i) by profile inorganic N content ii) by crop N uptake and yield of spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and iii) by 15N tracer technique and in situ burial of anion exchange resin membranes (AEM).Pre-seeding available moisture content of the surface soil samples was significantly higher under no-till compared with tillage fallow. However, no significant differences in pre-seeding profile total inorganic N, crop N uptake and yield were observed between the treatments. At the landform scale, shoulder positions of the respective tillage systems had lower profile inorganic N, crop N uptake and yield compared with other slope positions. Soil N supply power, as determined by 15N tracer and AEM techniques, was not significantly different between the tillage treatments, indicating that N availability is not likely to be greatly affected in initial years by switching to no-till fallow in these soils under normal moisture conditions.

The tropical vegetable, brinjal is cultivated throughout the year in Bangladesh but the crop is infested by a number of insects including jassid. This study investigated the effects of different biophysical and biochemical characteristics of twelve brinjal germplasms on the abundance and infestation of jassid. The experiment was conducted during September 2018 to March 2019 in Gazipur, Bangladesh with twelve brinjal germplasms namely BD-7320, BD-7328, BD-9952, BD-10154, BD-10158, BARI Begun-1, BARI Begun-4, BARI Begun-5, BARI Begun- 6, BARI Begun-7, BARI Begun-8 and BARI Begun-9. The incidence of jassid was recorded from 3rd December to 26th March, and the lowest population was found on BARI Begun- 6. Among the biophysical traits, plant height, number of branch and leaf per plant, and leaf area exerted significant positive correlation; whereas trichome on lower and upper surfaces of leaf, spine per stem and leaf showed significant negative correlation with the abundance of jassid. On the other hand, moisture, reducing sugar, total sugar and protein content of the leaves and fruits, chlorophyll content of the leaves exerts significant positive correlation but ash and pH contents of the leaves and fruits were negatively correlated with the abundance of jassid. Jassids showed the lowest level of leaf infestation on BARI Begun-6, which could be for further analysis to develop jassid resistant brinjal. SAARC J. Agric., 19(1): 81-91 (2021)

Background: All cirrhotic patients should be screened for oesophageal varices (OV) at the time of diagnosis. The development of a non-invasive method for the detection of OV is a vital issue in subjects with cirrhosis to decrease the need for invasive endoscopic procedures that can be costly. This work aimed to evaluate immature platelet fraction (IPF) as a non-invasive marker and predictor of OV. Methods: This cross-sectional study was carried out on 80 cirrhotic patients with esophageal varices diagnosed by upper endoscopy. They were divided into Group (1): 40 patients with cirrhosis with esophageal varices and Group (2): 40 patients with cirrhosis and without esophageal varices. All patients were subjected to the complete history taking, physical examination, routine laboratory investigations (Complete blood count, IPF, C-reactive protein, Liver and kidney function tests, Bone marrow aspiration for some cases, Ascetic sample analysis when applicable), Pelvic-Abdominal ultrasonography, Child Pugh score assessment, Upper GIT endoscopy. Results: There was a significant difference between the studied groups regarding IPF (p<0.001). At cutoff >12 IPF had (AUC= 0.993) with sensitivity of 97.5% and specificity of 97.5% for detection of esophageal varices. There was a significant negative correlation between IPF and platelets count (p- value < 0.001). There was a significant positive correlation between IPF and Child Pugh score (p- value <0.001). There was a highly significant positive correlation between IPF and CRP (p value <0.001). There was significant difference between the two groups as regards splenic longitudinal diameter (p<0.001). As regards platelet count, there was a significant difference between the two groups (p<0.001). It was significantly lower in Group 1. Conclusions: IPF is elevated in cirrhotic patients with naive esophageal varices than in cirrhotic patients without varices. IPF could be used as a noninvasive, easy to measure method for detection of the presence of esophageal varices at a cutoff level of >12.

Mesenteric Fat

A technique is described for the rapid biopsy sampling of subcutaneous fat in cattle. The technique involves freezing and folding back a small area of skin to allow removal of the underlying fat. The advantages of this technique are that it is rapid, animals do not have to be placed under general or local anaesthetic, no suturing is required and there is little disturbance to the animal. No significant difference in pesticide level was found between subcutaneous, peri-renal, and mesenteric fat, but a significant positive correlation (r = 0.82) was found between combined DDE and DDT levels in biopsy and carcase subcutaneous samples. This indicated that the residues measured from biopsy samples in this experiment were a good indication to levels in the rest of the animal.

Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is an important food legume crop grown mostly in Asia and Africa as well as in other parts of the world, and serves as an important source of protein in the diets of vegetarian people. Lot of variation in grain quality traits has been observed in cultivated chickpea in both desi and Kabuli types. It has often been observed that seeds with smaller size have more protein when compared with those with larger size. The joint dependence of these two traits on the same primary characteristics results in this negative relationship. This negative correlation coupled with breeding efforts aimed at increasing grain yield has hampered the progress of improving these two traits simultaneously. Therefore, a germplasm exhibiting wider variability for these quantitative traits is an important resource for the identification of novel alleles. Herein, we report the wide variation observed for five important quantitative traits including days to flowering, days to maturity, plant height, 100-seed weight and protein content, and also report the significant positive correlation observed between 100-seed weight and protein content in a diverse collection of chickpea germplasm comprising both desi and Kabuli types.

Background/Aim. Parathyroid hyperplasia (PHP) is defined as an absolute increase in the mass of parenchymal cells of the parathyroid gland. PHP is classified as primary, secondary and tertiary. The enlargement of parathyroid glands (PG) is usually asymmetric, resulting in a ?dominant? gland. In order to confirm the diagnosis, at least two glands should be examined histologically. Subtotal parathyroidectomy, i.e. removal of the three PG and leaving a small remnant of the forth, is the treatment of choice. High percent of PHP recurrence imposes the need for preoperative high sensitivity localizing procedures. Parathyroid scintigraphy localizes about 60% of hyperplastic glands. The aim of this study was to correlate findings of subtraction parathyroid scintigraphy (SPS) with weight, pathohistologic finding and oxyphil cell (OC) content of PG in patients with primary, secondary and tertiary parathyroid hyperplasia. Methods. Twenty-seven patients with primary/secondary PHP underwent SPS before surgery. Scintigraphic results were graded from 1-5, in relation to the degree of uptake. SPS graded 3, 4 and 5 were considered positive. The number and weight of operated PG were evaluated macroscopically. Pathohistologic and cellular types were defined on standard stained hematoxylin-eosin slides. OC content was defined as a percent of OC and graded from 1 to 3: grade 1 < 10%, grade 2 ? 10% and grade 3 ? 20% of OC. Results. SPS localized dominant gland in all patients with sensitivity 100%, and 51 from 73 hyperplastic PG, with sensitivity per gland of 70%. PG weighed 0.1 g to 6.7 g (median 1 g). A significant positive correlation (p < 0.0001) was found between the SPS results and PG weight. A significant positive correlation was found between PG weight and OC content (p = 0.0002). An insignificant correlation was found between SPS and OC content. Thirty-eight PG had < 10% of OC, 32 PG had < 10% and 3 PG had ? 20% of OC. Four patients had diffuse PHP and 23 patients nodular PHP. There was no statistically significant difference in SPS results compared to hyperplasia type, and between OC content and hyperplasia type. A significant positive correlation (p = 0.05) was found between PG weight and hyperplasia type. Conclusion. A high positive correlation was found between SPS results and PG weight, PG weight and OC content and PG weight and hyperplasia type. Between SPS results and OC content, and between SPS results and hyperplasia type, an insignificant correlation was found. Our results showed that SPS is a reliable and very sensitive diagnostic tool in detecting abnormal PG in parathyroid hyperplasia, reaching 100% sensitivity in detecting a ?dominant gland? and sensitivity per localized gland of 70%. Causes that affect increased uptake of liposolubile Tc99m radiopharmaceuticals (RF) in the hyperfunctional PG tissue and conditions which prevent RF admission into the PG cells still remain to be accurately and precisely determined.

AbstractThis research aimed to utilize water used for washing rice as raw material to make high-fiber foods (nata de leri), and to search the optimum sugar levels that can produce the best nata. Laboratory scale experiments were prepared using a factorial design with three repetitions. The treatments tested were four types of rice, such as white rice, brown rice, white and black sticky rice consists of 0, 5, 10, and 15% sugar content. The parameters analyzed were color, thickness, wet weight, fiber content and protein content of nata formed. Observational data were analyzed statistically using analysis of variance with α 1% and 5% followed by DMRT 5% test. Fermentation of various types of rice by the bacterium Acetobacter xylinum took five to seven days. Based on the analysis of variance α 1%, there was significant difference between the type of rice and sugar content to the quality of nata formed. Optimum sugar content that produces the best nata was 5%, which occurs in all types of rice. Excessive sugar in the fermentation medium inhibits the process of medium density allegedly causing bacterial cell lysis. Fermentation derived from white sticky rice produce the thickest and hardest nata, and had the highest fiber content, with values 130 cm, 200 gr, and 75% respectively. This was because the starch content was much in white sticky rice than others. Carbohydrates were used by bacteria as a source of nutrients and energy, which has rich of starch from white sticky rice. While the highest protein content was by nata formed from white rice, which is 1.2%.Keywords: Sugar, Acetobacter xylinum, nata de leriAbstrakPenelitian ini bertujuan memanfaatkan air bekas cucian beras sebagai bahan baku pembuatan makanan berserat tinggi (nata de leri), dan mencari kadar gula optimum yang bisa menghasilkan nata terbaik. Percobaan dilakukan pada skala laboratorium yang disusun menggunakan rancangan faktorial dengan tiga ulangan. Perlakuan yang diuji adalah jenis beras, meliputi beras putih, beras merah, ketan putih dan ketan hitam; serta kadar gula yang terdiri dari 0%, 5%, 10%, dan 15%. Parameter yang dianalisis yakni warna, tebal, berat basah, kadar serat, dan kadar protein nata yang terbentuk. Data pengamatan dianalisis statistik memakai analisis keragaman dengan α 1% dan α 5%, dilanjutkan uji DMRT α 5% bila ada perbedaan yang nyata. Berdasarkan analisis keragaman α 1%, terbukti bahwa ada pengaruh yang sangat signifikan antara jenis beras dan kadar gula dengan kualitas nata de leri yang terbentuk. Kadar gula optimum yang menghasilkan nata terbaik adalah 5% yang terjadi pada semua jenis beras. Gula yang berlebihan dalam medium justru menghambat proses fermentasi karena medium yang pekat menyebabkan sel bakteri lisis. Fermentasi leri yang berasal dari ketan putih menghasilkan nata paling tebal (130 cm), paling berat (200 g) serta mempunyai kadar serat tertinggi (7,5%). Hal ini disebabkan oleh kadar pati dalam leri ketan putih terbanyak dibandingkan dengan lainnya. Kadar protein tertinggi dikandung oleh nata yang dibentuk dari leri beras putih 1,2%.Kata kunci: Leri, gula, Acetobacter xylinum, nata
