REVIEW ARTICLES
Laboratory-based dengue fever surveillance in Tamil Nadu, India
T John Victor, M Malathi, R Asokan, P Padmanaban
August 2007, 126(2):112-115
PMID
:17932434
Dengue fever and dengue haemorrhagic fever (DF/DHF) have become a serious public health problem in many parts of India in recent years. Several vertical national programmes for communicable diseases, which include vector-borne diseases such as malaria and filariasis have been in operation for over five decades in India. The remarkable increase in dengue fever and DHF related deaths during the last decade has necessitated an effective surveillance system to detect the cases and adopt appropriate control measures against dengue vectors. Although the existence of all the four serotypes of dengue virus was proved as early as in 1960s, it was only after 1990, several outbreaks of DF/DHF were reported in Tamil Nadu. Further, dengue, once considered as urban problem has now penetrated into rural areas also, due to various changes in the environment. The geographic spread, increase in number of cases, reporting system, laboratory diagnosis, monitoring of vector density and investigation of outbreaks in Tamil Nadu during the last decade are comprehensively documented and discussed here to further strengthen the surveillance network to prevent possible major outbreaks of DF/DHF.

REVIEW ARTICLES
The role of epigenetics in mental disorders
J Peedicayil
August 2007, 126(2):105-111
PMID
:17932433
It is well established that the idiopathic mental disorders have a genetic basis. Yet, genetic mapping has not definitively identified any genetic mutation or polymorphism underlying these disorders. This review discusses the role of epigenetics in the pathogenesis of the idiopathic mental disorders. Epimutations and epigenetic polymorphisms are emphasized as being an interface between the genes underlying the idiopathic mental disorders and the environment. Psychosocial factors are described as important environmental factors involved in the pathogenesis of the idiopathic mental disorders, modifying the underlying genes by epigenetic mechanisms. Epigenetic strategies to identify the genes underlying the idiopathic mental disorders are described and the available molecular evidence supporting an epigenetic pathogenesis for these disorders is discussed. It also discusses the role of epigenetic factors in the pathogenesis of neuropsychiatric disorders and the relevance of the new therapeutic option, epigenetic therapy, in treating the idiopathic mental disorders and the neuropsychiatric disorders.
