Introduction: The school going age is a formative period, both physically as well as mentally. Poor health status in school aged children is among the causes of poor class performance and high absenteeism. Objectives: to assess the health and nutritional status of the school going children in urban area and to determine the association of health problems with age and gender. Method: A cross sectional study was carried out in government schools of urban field practice area of tertiary care institute, Jhalawar, Rajasthan. Study was carried out among 2193 students in four government schools. A pretested, semi structured questionnaire was used for collection of data on socio-demographic characters and their health profile. A detailed clinical examination was done from head to toe for every child. Weight and height were measured. Data was entered into the Microsoft Excel 10. Chi square test of significance was used for statistical analysis. Results: Most common health problem was dental caries (15.0%) followed by refractive errors (13.1%) and pallor (12.6%). Proportions of pallor and refractive error were significantly increased with increase in age of study participants. 16.8% of the students were found to be having thinness. Moderate stunting was present in 7.3% students. Conclusion: Dental caries, refractive errors and pallor were the common morbidities. A significant proportion of school children were undernourished.

Condition Of Women

The present paper explores the effect of patterns and duration of migration upon health and morbidity condition of women and knowledge and awareness of AIDS. Cross-sectional data from India's second National Family Health Survey (NFHS-2, 1998-99) is used for this study. Analysis is based on 73,558 women age 15-49 years who belonged to different streams of migration. Bivariate as well as multivariate techniques have been used for data analysis.Women migrating towards rural area are more underweight than migrating towards urban area whereas reverse for overweight. However, women migrating from rural to rural area were more anaemic than women migrating from rural to urban area. Significant differences were also found for morbidity conditions like Asthma, Tuberculosis, Jaundice, Malaria and some reproductive health problems according to streams of migration. Knowledge of AIDS also significantly differs according to the stream and duration of migration. We found stream of migration and duration of migration plays a key role in health, morbidity condition and knowledge of AIDS among women. Therefore, quality of health care in urban areas should be more widely disseminated in rural areas to improve the health status of women. Also the information-education-communication (IEC) programmes related to AIDS should be made more strengthened and effective through television, radio and also through the school teachers to reach the rural masses in India.

Water movement occurs across the plasma membrane of various cells of animals, plants, and microorganisms through specialized water-channel proteins called aquaporins (AQPs). We have identified a new member of the amphibian AQP family, AQP-h2K, from the kidneys of Hyla japonica. This protein consists of 280 amino acid residues with two NPA (Asn-Pro-Ala) sequence motifs and a mercury-sensitive cysteine residue just upstream from the second NPA motif. There are two putative N-linked glycosylation sites at Asn-120 and Asn-128 and one protein kinase A phosphorylation site at Ser-262. The AQP-h2K protein was specifically expressed in the apical membrane and/or cytoplasm of principal cells in the kidney collecting ducts. After stimulation with arginine vasotocin, it was translocated from the cytoplasmic pool to the apical membrane. Phylogenetic analysis of AQP proteins from anurans and mammals identified six clusters of anuran AQPs: types 1, 2, 3, and 5 and two anuran-specific types, designated a1 and a2. The cluster AQPa2 contains Hyla AQP-h2 and AQP-h3, which are expressed in the anuran urinary bladder and ventral pelvic skin. AQP-h2K belongs to the type 2, together with mammalian (human and mouse) AQP2, suggesting that AQP-h2K is an anuran ortholog of the neurohypophysial hormone-regulated mammalian AQP2 and that the AQP2 molecule is already present in the anuran mesonephros.
