In this study, fetal hemoglobin (HbF), blood total cholesterol, phosphate and calcium levels of leukemia and lymphoma cases in Mandalay were determined. It was a cross-sectional, comparative study. Thirty adult cases of leukemia and lymphoma and equal number of control subjects of comparable age (14 to 80 yrs) and sex were studied. Mean HbF of leukemia group (n=9), acute myeloid leukemia (AML) subgroup (n=6) and controls (n=30) were 2.72±0.47%, 3.17±0.69% and 1.39±0.25% of total Hb, respectively. The HbF levels of leukemia group and AML were significantly higher than that of controls (p<0.02). Mean serum total cholesterol levels of leukemia group, AML subgroup and controls were found to be 126.5±17.38 mg%, 137.96±24.66 mg% and 177.18±7.68 mg%, respectively. Cholesterol levels of leukemia group and AML were lower than that of controls. Mean plasma phosphate levels of leukemia and lymphoma cases (n=30), leukemia group (n=9) and lymphoma group (n=21) were 1.21±0.07 mmol/l, 1.33±0.17 mmol/l and 1.15±0.06 mmol/l, respectively. Mean phosphate level of controls was 0.94 mmol/l. Plasma phosphate levels of the whole cases and individual case groups were significantly higher than that of controls (p<0.001). Mean serum calcium levels of the whole cases, leukemia group and lymphoma group were 10.16±0.36 mg%, 10.03±0.75 mg% and 10.21±0.45 mg%, respectively. Mean serum calcium level of controls was 8.55±0.14 mg%. Serum calcium levels of the whole cases and individual case groups were found to be significantly higher than that of controls (p<0.01). The study showed that not only raised HbF but also hypocholesterolaemia might be the diagnostic clues in leukemia cases. Recognition of blood phosphate and calcium changes leads to appropriate therapy and a reduction of morbidity.

Regular Physical Exercise

Background: Exercise plays a role in preventing cardiovascular disease as well as other serious health problems. Objectives: A cross sectional comparative study was performed to observe the changes in serum total cholesterol and triglyceride in apparently healthy female athletes. Methods: This study was carried out in the Department of Physiology of Dhaka Medical College from July 2005 to June 2006. For this, 30 female athletes aged 17 to 38 years (experimental) who were under regular physical exercise training for at least two years and age matched 30 healthy female non athletes (control) for comparison were selected. Fasting serum Triglyceride and total Cholesterol levels of all the subjects were measured. Data were compared between athletes and non athletes and analyzed statistically by unpaired 't' test. Results: Mean±SD cholesterol levels were 141.10 ±14.46 & 165.10±7.03 and Mean±SD Triglyceride levels were 76.10±11.54 & 96.60±17.02 in athletes and non athletes respectively. Serum total cholesterol (p<0.001) and triglycerides (p<0.01) were significantly lower; in athletes compared to those of non athlets. Conclusion: From this study it can be concluded that, serum total cholesterol and triglycerides may be lowered in athletes. Key words: Female athletes; Cholesterol; Triglyceride.

Serum total cholesterol levels above 200mg/ () have repeatedly been correlated with cardiovascular and other degenerative diseases. Many risk factors can lead to , one of which is the dietary pattern. A dietary pattern is one simple way to start, which can be modified to avoid . This study describes the correlation between dietary pattern with serum total cholesterol levels within HKBP church congregation in September 2018 using a cross-sectional study, and the sample was obtained from accidental sampling. Therefore, there is no requirement for both inclusion and exclusion criteria. In total, 38 respondents contributed to this research. Data retrieval was done using questionnaires for the dietary pattern and rapid test for the serum total cholesterol levels. The data was used to analyze by the Pearson Chi-Square test. Based on the study result, there was a significant relationship between carbohydrate consumption frequency with the respondents' serum total cholesterol levels (p = 0,031). In contrast, the significant relationship between protein consumption frequency (p = 0,631), fat consumption frequency (p = 0150), fiber consumption frequency (p = 0,631) and fast-food consumption frequency (p = 0,150) with serum total cholesterol levels of the respondents were not found.

Background: There is an association between breast feeding & maternal lipid profile. Pregnancy related hyperlipidaemia reverse quickly with lactation. Objective: To observe Serum Total cholesterol & triglyceride in lactating & nonlactating mother. Method: The present cross sectional study was conducted in the Department of Physiology, Dhaka Medical College, Dhaka, during the period of July 2010 to June 2011. A total 300 subjects were included within the age limit from 20 to 40 years of women. Among them100 were normal healthy subjects & had child above 3 years were considered as group A (control). The rest 200 women were selected as study subject (group B) having child between the age 6 weeks to 2 years. Group B is again subdivided into group B1 (100 lactating mother) & group B2 (100 nonlactating mother). The subjects were selected from pediatric ward & OPD of pediatrics, DMCH and BSMMU, Dhaka. Data were collected in data collection sheet after taking informed written consent of the subjects. The study parameters total cholesterol & Triglyceride were done in the Department of Physiology, Dhaka Medical College. The data were analyzed by computer with SPSS programs using unpaired Student ?t’ test.Results: In group B1 total cholesterol & triglyceride levels were non significantly higher than that of group A but in group B2 these values were significantly higher than that of group A. Within the study groups all these values were significantly higher in nonlactating mother than lactating mother. It was observed that high level of study parameters were more in B2 than that of group B1. Conclusion: From the results of the present study it may be concluded that lactation has effect on lowering serum total cholesterol & triglyceride which may preferably related to health education for the mother. http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/bjpp.v29i1-2.20060Bangladesh J Physiol Pharmacol 2013; 29(1&2) : 1-7

Objectives: A cross sectional comparative study was performed to evaluate the changes of the serum lipid profile in apparently healthy adolescent male non smokers and smokers’ subjects. Method: This study was carried out in the department of Physiology of Dhaka Medical College from January to December 2005. For this purpose, total 80 subjects with age range 12-19 years were selected, of whom 20 were non smokers (control) and 60 were smokers (experimental) who smoked for at least one year. Again smokers were grouped according to the number of cigarettes smoked per week, ( mild < 19, moderate 20-59, heavy >60). Fasting serum Triglyceride and total Cholesterol levels of all subjects were measured. Data were compared between smokers and non smokers and between non smoker and mild moderate and heavy smokers and analyzed statistically by unpaired t test. Result: Mean ±SD Triglyceride levels were136.80mg/dl ± 42.18 vs. 153.12mg/dl ± 26.66 and Mean ±SD Total Cholesterol levels were 165.20mg/dl ± 15.13 vs165.36mg/dl ± 10.12 in non smokers and smokers respectively. there were no significant changes in the mean serum total cholesterol levels in adolescent smokers but the mean serum triglyceride level in smokers were significantly higher (p<0.01 )than that of non smokers. hyper Triglyceridemia (TG level> 150mg/dl) were observed in 56% of smoker subjects whereas 36% in non smokers. The dose response effect of smoking was observed in serum triglyceride levels of smoker subgroups. Mean ±SD TG levels in mild, moderate, heavy groups were 148.15mg/dl± 21.32,152.8mg/dl± 29.49,154.12mg/dl± 23.75 respectively. Conclusion: From the result of the present study it may be concluded that, cigarette smoking during adolescent period induces alteration in serum lipid levels in the direction of increased risk for coronary artery disease.
