    Effect of myosin B on guinea pig muscles--light microscopic and immunological aspects.
    (Indian journal of experimental biology, 1994)
    Experimental myositis was induced in guinea pigs by multiple inoculations with Myosin B fraction of the rabbit skeletal muscle. Quantitative histopathological features were studied and they include necrosis, central nucleation, inflammatory cellular reaction. Besides myositis, features of myocarditis were evident in 40% animals. Circulating immune complexes (CICs) in the sera of experimental animals were isolated by a polyethylene glycol (PEG) precipitation method. Presence of antimyosin B antibody in the immune complexes was characterised by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The role of circulating immune complexes in pathogenesis of experimental myositis and human polymyositis have been emphasised.

    Primary Ewing's sarcoma of the base of skull: a case report.
    (Indian journal of pathology & microbiology, 1993)
    Primary cranial Ewing's sarcoma is an exceptionally rare lesion and only eleven cases have so far been reported. In this report we describe a case of primary Ewing's sarcoma arising from the floor of middle cranial fossa. Salient clinical, neuroradiological and light microscopic features in this case are described. A brief review of earlier published cases of primary cranial Ewing's sarcoma are also presented.
