Indian ethnicity by itself is a strong risk factor for development of CAD in Indian postmenopausal women due to lower HDL levels as compared to Whites and women of oriental origin. We evaluated and compared the short-term effects of menopause, estrogen replacement therapy and combined estrogen and progestin replacement therapy on various atherogenic indices. 40 postmenopausal women, both surgical and natural (20 each) were selected. 10 surgical postmenopausal women were given 0.625 mg conjugated estrogens daily for 6 months and 10 natural postmenopausal women were given 0.625 mg conjugated estrogen with 2.5 mg medroxyprogesterone acetate daily. 20 women were included in the control group and given placebo. Fasting venous blood samples were analyzed for extended lipid profile and calculated atherogenic indices before starting the therapy and after 1,3 and 6 months. LDL and Apolipoprotein B increased (p<0.05) and those of Apolipoprotein A1 and HDL decreased in the control groups. In both the study groups levels of serum cholesterol and LDL decreased (p<0.05) and those of HDL and Apolipoprotein A1 increased (p<0.01). LDL/HDL, Apo B/ApoA1, Total Cholesterol/HDL decreased significantly (p<0.05) in both the study groups compared to the control groups. The effect of estrogen alone was more significant as compared to combination therapy. Log Triglycerides (TG)/HDL ratio showed a decrease in women on estrogen alone but the difference was not significant. Our study confirms that short term HRT has a favorable effect on atherogenic indices in Indian postmenopausal women.  相似文献   

Study on arsenic level in public water supply of Delhi using hydride generator accessory coupled with atomic absorption spectrophotometer   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1

Exposure to arsenic has been associated with several health hazards. Worldwide the main reason for chronic human intoxication with arsenic is intake of contaminated drinking water. Air acetylene type of atomic absorption spectrophotometer in combination with hydride generator accessory was used to analyze arsenic level in 25 water samples collected from 25 booster pumping stations and 313 water samples collected from tap water supply of 62 areas of Delhi. Results were analyzed using SPSS and Barlett’s Chi Square Test. Mean arsenic level detected in water samples collected from booster pumping stations was 0.00976 ppm (Range 0.000–0.017 ppm, Standard Deviation 0.006 and Standard error of Mean 0.00118). Maximum arsenic level (0.017 ppm) was found in water samples of booster pumping stations of Mehrauli, Punjabi Bagh and Ramjas Road. Mean arsenic level detected in samples collected from tap water supply was 0.013 ppm (Range 0–0.0430 ppm, Standard Deviation 0.00911 and Standard error of Mean 0.000515). In water samples of 42 areas arsenic level detected was exceeding WHO/EPA permissible limit of 0.01 ppm (10 ppb). The mean arsenic level detected in water samples of booster pumping station was within WHO/EPA permissible limit while mean arsenic level detected in tap water samples was marginally higher. Mixing of ground water and contamination through broken or leaking channel could be the possible reason of higher arsenic level in tap water. Continuous monitoring of quality of drinking water is required particularly in view of water contamination caused by industrial waste and uncontrolled ground water extraction.  相似文献

随着数字信息资源的快速增长 ,数字化技术、数字图书馆技术的成熟 ,数字图书馆建设的物质基础日趋成熟。建立数字图书馆的目的就是为了更好地为用户服务 ,但作为数字图书馆组成部分的存储系统 ,如果采用传统的存储体系 ,将会阻碍信息的快速服务。存储网络能够提供可扩展的、高性能的数据管理 ,同时用户的总费用很低 ,所以存储网络受到众多用户的青睐。存储网络技术一定程度地缓解了存储的压力 ,但是 ,主机ＣＰＵ的负荷并没有得到丝毫减轻 ,尤其是在运行多媒体应用和资源敏感数据库时 ,系统的开销极大地增加了访问数据的延迟 ,而成为新的瓶颈…  相似文献

依据脱氮硫杆菌(Thiobacillus denitrificans)在厌氧(或兼性厌氧)条件具有脱硫反硝化的生理特性,采用分离筛选的脱氮硫杆菌,通过间歇试验考察了同步脱氮脱硫技术的关键因素。试验结果证明了同步脱氮脱硫技术的可行性,提出硫氮比(S2-/NO3-)和硫化物浓度是同步脱氮脱硫技术的主要因素,两者分别控制在5/3和低于300mg/L的水平可以获得较好的脱硫和反硝化效果,在此条件下,单质硫转化率最高达94%。  相似文献

C/S结构与B/S结构的信息系统比较分析   总被引：37，自引：0，他引：37  

吴大刚  肖荣荣 《情报科学》2003,21(3):313-315

传统的C/S体系结构虽然采用的是开放模式。但这只是系统开发一级的开放性，在特定的应用中无论时Client端还是Server端都还需要特定的软件，没有提供用户真正期望的开放环境。B/S结构则不同，它的前端是以TCP/IP协议为基础的，企业内的WWW服务器可以接受安装有Web浏览器，各种处理任务都可以调用系统资源来完成。这样大大简化了客户端。减轻了系统维护与升级的成本和工作量，降低了用户的总体拥有成本（TCO）。  相似文献
