    Abstract Introduction: Pregnancy is an important event in reproductive mother. At the same time it is associated with stress, which exaggerates the depression. Many factors leads to depression, among them nutrient deficiency like zinc, selenium, iron, calcium, folic acid and vitamin B12 plays a major role. Aim: To estimate and compare serum zinc levels in females with postpartum depression subjects and healthy controls. To find the relationship between serum zinc levels and extent of postpartum depression. Materials and Methods: The present study was a hospitalbased case-control study, conducted over a period of three months. It included 40 postpartum depression cases and 40 healthy controls. All the participants were subjected to serum zinc levels estimation. Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) score was applied. The individuals who scored greater than 10 were taken as cases and those scoring less than 10 were taken as controls. Data was tabulated and results expressed as mean±SD, student's t-test and Pearson correlation test was applied for correlation. Results: The present study found decreased serum zinc levels in postpartum depression cases compared to controls. It was found serum zinc levels in cases were 21.63±15.73 μg/dL and 54.16±19.72 μg/dL in controls. There was a negative correlation between the severity of postnatal depression and the serum zinc levels. Not only this, but certain risk factors were also identified, such as age of the mother, months of postpartum, mode of delivery, and the education of the mother. Conclusion: Decreased serum zinc levels do indeed correlate to a change in maternal mental health, and then the knowledge would not only help in diagnosis by tests, but also further patient care.

    Abstract The mechanism of T cell precursor commitment to the gammadelta or alphabeta T cell lineage remains unclear. While TCR signal strength has emerged as a key factor in lineage commitment based on TCR transgenic models, the entire TCR repertoire may not possess the same discriminatory power. A counterbalance to the TCR as the lineage determinant is the pre-existing heterogeneity in gene expression among precursors, which suggests that single precursors are unlikely to respond homogeneously to a given instructive signal.

    Abstract The divergence of alphabeta and gammadelta T cells from a common precursor in the thymus is regulated by multiple cell-intrinsic and cell-extrinsic factors, most of which are not well defined. Recent studies have provided crucial data regarding the precise timing of lineage commitment and some clarification on the extent of the involvement of Notch and T-cell receptor signaling in this process. Combined with new insights into the differential regulation of molecular pathways active in alphabeta and gammadelta precursors, these data have led to the generation of a revised model of lineage commitment.

    Abstract Dunaliella bardawil, a green alga accumulates high amount of β-carotene under stress conditions. This organism has been exploited for β-carotene at industrial scale. In the present work, various metabolic inhibitors like diphenylamine (DPA), nicotine, basta, glyphosate, DCMU [3-(3',4'-dichlophenyl)-1,1-dimethylurea] and caffeine were used in autotrophic medium, to understand their influence on carotenoid biosynthesis. The results indicated that these metabolic inhibitors influenced the production of carotenoids like wise, DPA and basta increased the contents of β-carotene (1.7 fold), glyphosate and DCMU for lutein (2.4 and 2 fold) caffeine for biomass yields (1.1 fold), while nicotine decreased the biomass yield (3.6 fold), β-carotene (2 fold) and lutein (10.5 fold).

    Abstract Although the central nervous system (CNS) is thought to be immunoprivileged, under special circumstances it can produce antibody. Antibody production within the CNS, called intrathecal antibody production (ITAbP), is a prominent feature of neurological infections and inflammatory diseases, and is thought to possibly contribute to disease in multiple sclerosis (MS), but it has not been extensively studied. We investigated ITAbP in a viral model of MS. ELISpot, real-time RT-PCR for IgG mRNA in CNS tissue, and CSF analysis were used to assess ITAbP in two types of SJL mice infected with one of two strains of Theiler's murine encephalomyelitis virus (TMEV). The amplitude of ITAbP increased during the first 4 months of infection. TMEV viral load remained high during the course of the infection, which likely was the main stimulus for ITAbP, since within samples of infected CNS tissues, levels of IgG gene expression were highly correlated with viral RNA levels, and a large percentage of intrathecally produced antibody was directed against TMEV. This study provides the first extensive analysis of ITAbP in TMEV infection, and demonstrates that, in this animal model of MS, antibody production within the CNS is likely driven by the presence of the causative pathogen.

    Abstract Little is known about antibody production within the central nervous system, called intrathecal antibody production (ITAbP). Mice infected with Theiler's murine encephalomyocarditis virus (TMEV) develop an immune-mediated demyelinating disease(TMEV-IDD), characterized by progressive weakness associated with robust ITAbP, CNS inflammation and demyelination. TMEV-IDD represents an excellent model of human multiple sclerosis (MS), especially its progressive disability. The mechanism of the weakness in this disease is unknown but there is considerable evidence that it is immune-mediated. Our hypothesis was that the disability in the model is induced by robust ITAbP by antibody-secreting cells(ASCs) in the CNS. We further hypothesized that these ASCs are predominantly CD138+ plasma cells, driven by the persistence of virus at high levels in the central nervous system (CNS) as well as high levels of B-cell activating factor (BAFF). In order to test these hypotheses we infected mice with TMEV, and correlated measures of ITAbP with disability. Measures of ITAbP were ELISpot and IgG gene expression, while disability was tested by Rotarod. We found that disability was highly correlated with ITAbP, assayed by number of CNS ASCs as well as amount of IgG mRNA. CNS ASCs were primarily CD138+, and produced high levels of IgG enriched for reactivity to TMEV. There were high levels of BAFF production in the CNS, but these levels were only minimally higher in infected mice than in uninfected controls. TMEV and IgG RNA were distributed throughout the spinal cord. These data are the first demonstrating that ITAbP is highly correlated with disability in TMEV infection, an excellent model of human MS. Our data raise the possibility that ITAbP contributes significantly to disability, both in this model and in MS.
