Abstract Background and aims : Syndactyly is congential fusion between fingers which may vary from simple fusion of skin to fusion betweeo bony componeots of fingers. The aim of this study was to find out the range of dermatoglyphic abnormalities io syndactyly patient because of close association between underlying tissue (derived from mesoderm) and overlying epidermis (derived from ectoderm) duriog embryogenesis of hand. Materials and methods : Present study was carried out io 20 patients with congenital syndactyly of fingers. The authors evaluated fingertip patterns, axial triradius, palmar pattern, flexion creases, a-b ridge count, digital triradii and pattern intensity. Results : Remarkable dermatoglyphic variations were observed io syndactylous hands, which were rare io normal hands. Conclusion : There are certain specific associations between anomalous hands and dermatoglyphic patterns indicating that underlying mesenchyme influences the development of epidermis derived from ectoderm and so the ridge pattern.

Introduction: Dermatoglyphics pattern is feature with which human takes birth. As a diagnostic aid, it is now well established in a number of diseases which have a strong hereditary basis. The aetiology of coronary heart diseases is believed to be multi-factorial with genetics playing an important role. Objective: The present study was designed to make an observation of the usefulness of dermatoglyphic pattern in serving as a predictor for myocardial infarction among Bangladeshi male who were non relative to each other. Place of study: The study was conducted in the Department of Anatomy, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU), Dhaka, Bangladesh, between October 2003 and February 2005. Method: Inking method was used for taking finger and palm prints. Dermatoglyphic prints of five fingers and palm of both hands of sixty individuals were collected. Of them dermatoglyphic prints of both hands of 30 myocardial infarction (MI) male patients non relative to each other were selected as patients and same of 30 normal male having no myocardial infarction and having no family history of MI were selected as control. The dermatoglyphics of each hand of the patients were compared with those of the controls for: a) frequencies of different finger ridge patterns of the five fingers; b) total finger ridge count (TFRC); c) a-b, b-c, and c-d ridge counts of each hand; d) a-t-d angle; e) frequency of palmar ridge pattern and f) frequencies of different palmar creases. Result: The results of the controls confirmed more or less to the ethnic trends of the normal Bangladeshi. In case of finger dermatoglyphics, the MI patients showed higher frequencies of whorl patterns but lower frequencies of ulnar loop, radial loop and arch patterns than the controls. The mean total finger ridge count of the MI patients was lower than that of the controls (p>0.05). In case of palmar dermatoglyphics a-b, c-d ridge counts was higher and b-c ridge counts was lower in the MI patients than in the controls. Mean a-t-d angle was wider in the MI patients than that of the controls. Palmar patterns and creases showed no significant difference except transitional crease of the right hand that was significantly lower in MI patients than controls. Conclusion: Result of this study may be used to standardize the dermatoglyphic pattern of Bangladeshi population and to identify person susceptible to MI.

Lysosomal System

A1thought the mechanisms of amyloidogenesis have not been entirely clarified, proteolysis of the parent proteins may be one of the important steps in the amyloid fibril formation. Recently, we reported that "dense fibrillar inclusions" (DFI), which had the characteristics of lysosomes and contained organized fibrillar profiles as well, were observed in the reticuloendothelial cells in close association with the foci of new amyloid deposits. We considered the findings as evidence for the involvement of lysosomal system in amyloid fibril formation (l). In the present study, we attempted to determine the identity of the contents of the DFI by the use of antisera against the amyloid protein (AA) and an immuno-electron microscopic technique.Amyloidosis was induced in CBA/J mice by daily injections of casein (l). AA was isolated from amyloid-laden spleens by gel filtration and antibody to it was produced in rabbits (2). For immunocytochemistry, the unlabeled antibody enzyme method (3) was employed.

Vinblastine Sulfate

Earle's L-929 fibroblasts treated with mitosis-arresting but sub-lethal doses of vinblastine sulfate (VLB) show hypertrophy of the granular endoplasmic reticulum and annulate lamellae. Exposure of the cells to heavier doses of vincristine sulfate (VCR), a VLB-related drug, leads to the accumulation of large amounts of helical polyribosomes, Golgi membranes and crystals in the cytoplasm. In many of these cells a large number of helical polyribosomes are arranged in prominent linear rows, some of which may be up to 5 micrometers in length. Figure 1 shows a large array of helical polyribosomes near a crystalline mass (CRS) in an Earle's L-929 fibroblast exposed to VCR (5ϒ/ml.) for 3 hours At a higher magnification, as seen in figure 2, the helical polyribosomes are seen arranged in parallel rows. In favorably cut sections, a prominent backbone like "stalk" of finely granular material, measuring approximately 300Å in width is seen in close association with the linear rows of helical polyribosomes.

Scanning electron microscopy of fish scales has facilitated the application of micro-structures to systematics. Electron microscopy studies have added more information on the structure of the scale and the associated cells, many problems still remain unsolved, because of our incomplete knowledge of the process of calcification. One of the main purposes of these studies has been to study the histology, histochemistry, and ultrastructure of both calcified and decalcified scales, and associated cells, and to obtain more information on the mechanism of calcification in the scales. The study of a calcified scale with the electron microscope is complicated by the difficulty in sectioning this material because of the close association of very hard tissue with very soft tissues. Sections often shatter and blemishes are difficult to avoid. Therefore the aim of this study is firstly to develop techniques for the preparation of cross sections of fish scales for scanning electron microscopy and secondly the application of these techniques for the determination of the structures and calcification of fish scales.

Protestant Missions

As Protestant missionaries landed on Korean shores in the late nineteenth century, a great deal of effort went into creating a Christian identity using literacy and literature as cornerstones of missional strategy that would become the benchmark of the Christian experience for Koreans. The relationship between the Protestant missions' emphasis on reading and Korea's Confucian culture of learning is of particular importance for an understanding of the growth of Christianity in Korea because Christianity's close association with literacy and sacred writings energised the Confucian imagination of Korean culture. Perceiving the reading of Christian literature, including the bible, as a salient way to salvation, Koreans turned to reading and memorising the scriptures to experience the manifestation of God's revelation. The high respect afforded to education and learning as a dominant cultural value constitutes an important, if overlooked, element in the replication of faith in Korean society that reproduced the gospel under their own familiar terms.

Composition and distribution of foraminifers are affected by human activities and have close association with coral reef ecosystem. The aims of this research were to investigate the benthic foraminifers’ composition and distribution in sediment of coral reef ecosystem. Eleven stations of Karang Bongkok, Pramuka, and Onrust Island were observed in this study. The sediments were taken from surface substrate up to 2 cm under the substrate. Samples were washed on sieve with mesh size 0,063 mm, and then dried in oven with 50°C of temperature  for two hours. After separating from the sediment, the foraminifers were laid on foraminiferal slide and indentified using binocular microscope. The highest composition of symbiont-bearing foraminiferal assemblages which associated with reef ecosystem was in East Pramuka (78.17%) and the lowest was in South Onrust (21,83%). The opportunistic type had the highest composition in South Onrust (38.67%) and the lowest was in South Karang Bongkok. In west Pramuka had the highest composition of heterotrophic type (57.17%) and the lowest was in North Onrust (11.33%). Onrust Island was dominated by opportunistic type, indicating high nutrient. The highest amount of foraminifers’ taxa was found in Karang Bongkok with good coral reef coverage, while the lowest in Onrust facing with Jakarta Bay. Keywords: composition, distribution, benthic foraminifers, coral reef.
