Background: Hyperemesis gravidarum is a severe type of vomiting in pregnancy which has significant effect on the health of mother and fetus. During this period various metabolic and endocrine changes occur in maternal body. Objectives: The present study has been designed to observe the serum total protein, albumin and globulin in women with hyperemesis gravidarum. Method: For this purpose 6o women with age ranging from 20 to 40 years were selected. The women with hyperemesis gravidarum were taken as case and Non pregnant nulliparous women & normal pregnant women during the first trimester of normal pregnancy were taken as control group. Each group consisted of 20 women. The total protein and albumin levels were measured in all study populations against the blank at wavelength of 530 nm and 620 nm in a colorimeter. Results: The serum total protein and albumin levels were significantly (p < 0.001) higher in hyperemesis gravidarum and normal pregnant women during first trimester compared to control non pregnant nulliparous women. Conclusion: Therefore the result of the present study reveals that higher levels of total protein, albumin and globulin in hyperemesis gravidarum in comparison to non pregnant nulliparous & normal pregnant women due to increase thyroid hormones and also increases thyroxine - binding globulins.

A prospective study was done to find out the macroscopic extent of atherosclerotic lesion of abdominal aorta (above the origin of renal arteries) in & ingladeshi male of different ages. The subjems were divided into lower (8)29). middle (30-40). and higher (42.92) age groups. The atherosclerotic lesions were stained red by wearing the aorta with sudden IV. The percentage of area on the intim( outface showing atherosclerotic lesion were measured by AmoCAD. The percentage of area involved in atherosclerotic lesion increased with advancing age. Unpaired student T rest for statistical analysis revealed significant difference (p<0.0l) between lower and higher age groups.

A study on histological changes in the fallopian tubes of young and healthy nonpregnant nynnen was done. Among these subjects. 11 were taken as control who did not adopt any of the contraceptive method and compared with remaining 10 subjects who used intrauterine cornraceptive device (IUCD) in she form of copper T About 1.5 cm of each fallopian rube were collected during the process of nthectomy by Ponseroy's method. These tissue samples were processed for H/E sunning as a histological procedure and microscopic obsennuions were done. The lumina! diameter. wall thiclaress and member of ciliated cells were recorded and ',winlesd analysis was done by student's' test. Lamina: diameter reehiced significandy (P<0.05) in case of IUCD user group in comparison to control group. The moodier of ciliated cells also reduced significantly (P<0.05) in case of 10CD user group.

This experimental softly was carried out in the Department of Anatomy, Sir Salintallah Medical College. Dhaka from January to December 2006. The objective of the study was to see the effects of testosterone on prostate and to measure the weight. length, transverse diameter and ameroposterior diameters the organ, and also to estimate transvenical diameter of acini and percentage of steam. Total .10 maimed male Long Evans nos of age 8-10 weeks and ',visiting 200 to 300 gnu tore used in this study. They were divided into Am equal groups. Group A was vehicle (ohm oil) control group and Group II tots testosterone treated group. The rats 'sere sacrificed on the eleventh day. It wat concluded dna testosterone induces hyperplasia of the prostate within In increased weight. length. transverse diameter anteroposterior diameter and higher values in trans-venical diameter of acitti and percentage of SIMINO.

A study was done to find oat the intim, thickness of abdominal aorta of Bangladeshi males of different ages. The subjects were divided into lower (8-29 years). middle (30-40 years). higher (42-92 nears) age groups. Six good Mallory-Awn stained histological slides. section front lower most 2 cm portion of the abdominal norm along the margin fits bifurcation of three age groups were prepared for this study. After standardizing the ocular micromerer with rite stage micrometer for the particular objective and eyepiece, each study slide was placed in rite place of stage micrometer and intimal thickness was measured in ocular micrometer division. Unpaired student 9' test Jiff statistical analysis revealed that the mean !tinnier thickness varied significantly (P<0.05) in the middle and the higher age groups comparison to that in the lower age group.
