India alone accounts for one third of the world’s oral cancer and has a high rate of Oral Potentially MalignantDiseases (OPMD) amongst Areca Nut & Tobacco Habitual. Oral submucous fibrosis (OSMF) is one ofthe OPMDs which predominantly affect major population of South and Southeast Asia, especially Indiansubcontinent. Till date OSMF patients are treated symptomatically to relieve burning sensation, improve theopening of mouth & tongue movements, reduce blanching and relieve from roughness of oral mucosa byusing various medicinal line of treatment i.e. vitamin A, lycopene, beta carotene and carotene analogs, but notreatment is directed towards the reduction of malignant potential of preexisting OSMF cases. Thus, presentstudy will be conducted to compare the pre & post treatment serum level of proliferation, angiogenesis andapoptosis inducing expression of markers with polyherbal therapy in oral submucous fibrosis. Methods:Identification of clinically diagnosed patients of OSMF who will be divided into two groups by simplerandom sampling procedure. Group-1 patients suffering from oral submucous fibrosis, will be receivingPolyherbal Preparation while Group-2 patients receiving Lycopene. Pre and post treatment comparison forclinical signs and symptoms and serum marker expressions for Proliferation, Angiogenesis, & Apoptosis inboth groups will be done and statistically analyzed. Results: Clinical signs and symptoms will be improvedwith the present polyherbal protocol. Post treatment serum marker may favored reduction in proliferation,angiogenesis and induced apoptosis which predicts malignant transformation. Conclusions: Polyherbaltherapy will help to reduce the malignant conversion without toxic effect on other system of the human body

Abdominal closure after laparotomy takes several weeks to get 80% of its previous strength in this periodthe fascial sheath should be hold by sutures. Several materials used in the abdominal closures but the mostcommon suture used is polypropylene, others used nylon, less common used is absorbable sutures but woundsinus is a complication may fellow the use of non-absorbable sutures. For two years we collect 235 patientsin all of them abdominal wall incision was Pfannenstiel, in 133 patients the incision closed by polypropylene(non-absorbable), for other 102 patients the incision closed by polydioxanone (slow absorbable) the resultwas significant for wound sinus formation in polypropylene group but insignificant for hernia, conclusionof the study the polydioxanone look the same strength of polypropylene and may be without wound sinusformation.

Background: Though progesterone receptor and estrogen receptor are weak prognostic indicators,they are greatly predictive of response to endocrine therapy. HER2 overexpression or amplification is apowerful predictive factor for response to specific systemic therapies. Variation in estrogen receptor (ER),progesterone receptor (PR), and HER2 status between primary breast carcinoma and subsequent relapse ofis clearly recognized. Aim of study: The study aims at determining the rate of discordance in progesteronereceptor, estrogen receptor and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 status between primary tumor andsubsequent locoregional and metastatic disease in a sample of patients attend oncology teaching hospital.Patients and Methods: A retrospective study conducted included 80 females patients attending oncologyteaching hospital between December 2013 – December 2017 for whom the ER,PR,and HER2 status wereknown on tissue samples of both primary and subsequent locoregional and metastatic disease .Results: The ER,PR,and HER2 status discordance rate for between primary breast cancer and subsequentlocoregional relapse and distant metastasis was 27.5%, 42.5% and 22.5% respectivelyConclusion: The rate of discordance in ER and PR status primary and relapsed breast carcinoma in patientsmanaged at oncology teaching hospital was similar to other studies. While the rate of discordance for HER2status between primary and relapsed breast carcinoma was slightly higher than international studies.
