"Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research is at present a well-known Indian originated scientific journal which started with a humble beginning. I have been associated with this journal since many years. I appreciate the Editor, Dr. Hemant Jain, for his constant effort in bringing up this journal to the present status right from the scratch. The journal is multidisciplinary. It encourages in publishing the scientific articles from postgraduates and also the beginners who start their career. At the same time the journal also caters for the high quality articles from specialty and super-specialty researchers. Hence it provides a platform for the scientist and researchers to publish. The other aspect of it is, the readers get the information regarding the most recent developments in science which can be used for teaching, research, treating patients and to some extent take preventive measures against certain diseases. The journal is contributing immensely to the society at national and international level."

" Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research (JCDR) is a multi-specialty medical and dental journal publishing high quality research articles in almost all branches of medicine. The quality of printing of figures and tables is excellent and comparable to any International journal. An added advantage is nominal publication charges and monthly issue of the journal and more chances of an article being accepted for publication. Moreover being a multi-specialty journal an article concerning a particular specialty has a wider reach of readers of other related specialties also. As an author and reviewer for several years I find this Journal most suitable and highly recommend this Journal."

Dr. Mamta Gupta,
"It gives me great pleasure to be associated with JCDR, since last 2-3 years. Since then I have authored, co-authored and reviewed about 25 articles in JCDR. I thank JCDR for giving me an opportunity to improve my own skills as an author and a reviewer.
It 's a multispecialty journal, publishing high quality articles. It gives a platform to the authors to publish their research work which can be available for everyone across the globe to read. The best thing about JCDR is that the full articles of all medical specialties are available as pdf/html for reading free of cost or without institutional subscription, which is not there for other journals. For those who have problem in writing manuscript or do statistical work, JCDR comes for their rescue.
The journal has a monthly publication and the articles are published quite fast. In time compared to other journals. The on-line first publication is also a great advantage and facility to review one's own articles before going to print. The response to any query and permission if required, is quite fast; this is quite commendable. I have a very good experience about seeking quick permission for quoting a photograph (Fig.) from a JCDR article for my chapter authored in an E book. I never thought it would be so easy. No hassles.
Reviewing articles is no less a pain staking process and requires in depth perception, knowledge about the topic for review. It requires time and concentration, yet I enjoy doing it. The JCDR website especially for the reviewers is quite user friendly. My suggestions for improving the journal is, more strict review process, so that only high quality articles are published. I find a a good number of articles in Obst. Gynae, hence, a new journal for this specialty titled JCDR-OG can be started. May be a bimonthly or quarterly publication to begin with. Only selected articles should find a place in it.
An yearly reward for the best article authored can also incentivize the authors. Though the process of finding the best article will be not be very easy. I do not know how reviewing process can be improved. If an article is being reviewed by two reviewers, then opinion of one can be communicated to the other or the final opinion of the editor can be communicated to the reviewer if requested for. This will help one’s reviewing skills.
My best wishes to Dr. Hemant Jain and all the editorial staff of JCDR for their untiring efforts to bring out this journal. I strongly recommend medical fraternity to publish their valuable research work in this esteemed journal, JCDR".

"I wish to thank Dr. Hemant Jain, Editor-in-Chief Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research (JCDR), for asking me to write up few words.
Writing is the representation of language in a textual medium i e; into the words and sentences on paper. Quality medical manuscript writing in particular, demands not only a high-quality research, but also requires accurate and concise communication of findings and conclusions, with adherence to particular journal guidelines. In medical field whether working in teaching, private, or in corporate institution, everyone wants to excel in his / her own field and get recognised by making manuscripts publication.


Authors are the souls of any journal, and deserve much respect. To publish a journal manuscripts are needed from authors. Authors have a great responsibility for producing facts of their work in terms of number and results truthfully and an individual honesty is expected from authors in this regards. Both ways its true "No authors-No manuscripts-No journals" and "No journals–No manuscripts–No authors". Reviewing a manuscript is also a very responsible and important task of any peer-reviewed journal and to be taken seriously. It needs knowledge on the subject, sincerity, honesty and determination. Although the process of reviewing a manuscript is a time consuming task butit is expected to give one's best remarks within the time frame of the journal.
Salient features of the JCDR: It is a biomedical, multidisciplinary (including all medical and dental specialities), e-journal, with wide scope and extensive author support. At the same time, a free text of manuscript is available in HTML and PDF format. There is fast growing authorship and readership with JCDR as this can be judged by the number of articles published in it i e; in Feb 2007 of its first issue, it contained 5 articles only, and now in its recent volume published in April 2011, it contained 67 manuscripts. This e-journal is fulfilling the commitments and objectives sincerely, (as stated by Editor-in-chief in his preface to first edition) i e; to encourage physicians through the internet, especially from the developing countries who witness a spectrum of disease and acquire a wealth of knowledge to publish their experiences to benefit the medical community in patients care. I also feel that many of us have work of substance, newer ideas, adequate clinical materials but poor in medical writing and hesitation to submit the work and need help. JCDR provides authors help in this regards.
Timely publication of journal: Publication of manuscripts and bringing out the issue in time is one of the positive aspects of JCDR and is possible with strong support team in terms of peer reviewers, proof reading, language check, computer operators, etc. This is one of the great reasons for authors to submit their work with JCDR. Another best part of JCDR is "Online first Publications" facilities available for the authors. This facility not only provides the prompt publications of the manuscripts but at the same time also early availability of the manuscripts for the readers.
Indexation and online availability: Indexation transforms the journal in some sense from its local ownership to the worldwide professional community and to the public.JCDR is indexed with Embase & EMbiology, Google Scholar, Index Copernicus, Chemical Abstracts Service, Journal seek Database, Indian Science Abstracts, to name few of them. Manuscriptspublished in JCDR are available on major search engines ie; google, yahoo, msn.
In the era of fast growing newer technologies, and in computer and internet friendly environment the manuscripts preparation, submission, review, revision, etc and all can be done and checked with a click from all corer of the world, at any time. Of course there is always a scope for improvement in every field and none is perfect. To progress, one needs to identify the areas of one's weakness and to strengthen them.
It is well said that "happy beginning is half done" and it fits perfectly with JCDR. It has grown considerably and I feel it has already grown up from its infancy to adolescence, achieving the status of standard online e-journal form Indian continent since its inception in Feb 2007. This had been made possible due to the efforts and the hard work put in it. The way the JCDR is improving with every new volume, with good quality original manuscripts, makes it a quality journal for readers. I must thank and congratulate Dr Hemant Jain, Editor-in-Chief JCDR and his team for their sincere efforts, dedication, and determination for making JCDR a fast growing journal.
Every one of us: authors, reviewers, editors, and publisher are responsible for enhancing the stature of the journal. I wish for a great success for JCDR."

Dr. Shankar P.R.

"On looking back through my Gmail archives after being requested by the journal to write a short editorial about my experiences of publishing with the Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research (JCDR), I came across an e-mail from Dr. Hemant Jain, Editor, in March 2007, which introduced the new electronic journal. The main features of the journal which were outlined in the e-mail were extensive author support, cash rewards, the peer review process, and other salient features of the journal.
Over a span of over four years, we (I and my colleagues) have published around 25 articles in the journal. In this editorial, I plan to briefly discuss my experiences of publishing with JCDR and the strengths of the journal and to finally address the areas for improvement.
My experiences of publishing with JCDR: Overall, my experiences of publishing withJCDR have been positive. The best point about the journal is that it responds to queries from the author. This may seem to be simple and not too much to ask for, but unfortunately, many journals in the subcontinent and from many developing countries do not respond or they respond with a long delay to the queries from the authors 1. The reasons could be many, including lack of optimal secretarial and other support. Another problem with many journals is the slowness of the review process. Editorial processing and peer review can take anywhere between a year to two years with some journals. Also, some journals do not keep the contributors informed about the progress of the review process. Due to the long review process, the articles can lose their relevance and topicality. A major benefit with JCDR is the timeliness and promptness of its response. In Dr Jain's e-mail which was sent to me in 2007, before the introduction of the Pre-publishing system, he had stated that he had received my submission and that he would get back to me within seven days and he did!
Most of the manuscripts are published within 3 to 4 months of their submission if they are found to be suitable after the review process. JCDR is published bimonthly and the accepted articles were usually published in the next issue. Recently, due to the increased volume of the submissions, the review process has become slower and it ?? Section can take from 4 to 6 months for the articles to be reviewed. The journal has an extensive author support system and it has recently introduced a paid expedited review process. The journal also mentions the average time for processing the manuscript under different submission systems - regular submission and expedited review.
Strengths of the journal: The journal has an online first facility in which the accepted manuscripts may be published on the website before being included in a regular issue of the journal. This cuts down the time between their acceptance and the publication. The journal is indexed in many databases, though not in PubMed. The editorial board should now take steps to index the journal in PubMed. The journal has a system of notifying readers through e-mail when a new issue is released. Also, the articles are available in both the HTML and the PDF formats. I especially like the new and colorful page format of the journal. Also, the access statistics of the articles are available. The prepublication and the manuscript tracking system are also helpful for the authors.
Areas for improvement: In certain cases, I felt that the peer review process of the manuscripts was not up to international standards and that it should be strengthened. Also, the number of manuscripts in an issue is high and it may be difficult for readers to go through all of them. The journal can consider tightening of the peer review process and increasing the quality standards for the acceptance of the manuscripts. I faced occasional problems with the online manuscript submission (Pre-publishing) system, which have to be addressed.
Overall, the publishing process with JCDR has been smooth, quick and relatively hassle free and I can recommend other authors to consider the journal as an outlet for their work."

Abstract

Crime & criminals are curse to the society. All types of advanced scientific methods should be used for detection of crime, to prove the guilt of criminal and also to see that innocent subjects are not victimized. Although there are many methods of detecting crime, cytogenetic study has a unique character of its own in its application to forensic science. The crime rates in India are increasing and approximately 5% of the criminals are murderers. The famous Danish ‘Adoption studies’ states that in addition to socio-economic factors, hereditary plays an important role in the determination of criminality.
In this study an attempt has been made to find out if there is any definite association between the criminality and chromosomal aberrations. Hence the individuals who were convicted by the court of Law under IPC 302 as murderers are subjected to cytogenetic study. Out of 140 individuals subjected to study only 84 would be analyzed for chromosomal study because of culture failure in rest of the cases. By doing cytogenetic study of these criminals it was found that there is a definite association between the criminal behaviour and XYY chromosome. It is also suggested that this positive association should be studied in a large population before this observation can be used as a biological indicator of criminality.

Introduction
Crime is defined as doing of any act declared by stature or ordinance to be punishable in definite way, such as, by fine, imprisonment or death. A person is assigned the status of a criminal when he is adjudged to be punishable by the authorities in a continuous political control over the territory in which he is. Male to female ratio in crime is 90: 10.
Lombroso (1911)(1) first emphasized the physical base of criminality. Hootan (1939)2 showed that criminal behaviour could also be related to a specific anatomical trait.
Thus many investigators (3),(4),(5),(6),(7) works on criminality and some important theories are suggested to explain criminal behaviour including Genetic, Glandular and Constitutional theories of crime.

Montagle (1941) & Walker (1950) associated criminality to genetic factors. It was found that the XYY genotype is 20 times more common in prisoners than in the general population.

Bermann (1932) and Podolshy (1955) stated that glandular dysfunction is responsible for criminal behaviour of a person.

Three hypothesis were suggested to explain the violent behaviour in a person. These were biological instinctual theory, frustration theory and social learning theory. The biological instinctual theory was based on hereditary factors and is associated with the XYY syndrome.
Fraser, F Clarke and Nora James J. (1975, 1981), Thompson J.S. and Thompson M.W. (1970),(8) suggested the positive role of extra Y chromosome in violent behaviour. They estimated that XYY males are six times more likely to be imprisoned as compared to normal XY males.

Cohen (9) in (1985) had done chromosomal survey in newborns and found 0.5% -0.6% of chromosomal errors in them out of which 35% were sex chromosomal abnormalities. The most frequently occurring sex chromosome variations were Turner syndrome (45,X), Klinefelters syndrome (47,XXY), Polysomy X or Triple X (47,XXX) and polysomy Y or XYY (47, XYY).

He stated that though many individuals with sex chromosome variations can live functionally normal lives, others may experience developmental, physical, psychological, behavioral and learning impairments.

Mednick S.A. (10) in 1983 had studied criminal behaviour in many criminals; he especially emphasized chronic criminal behaviour and found that it is mainly genetically predisposed. In fact genetic, physiological and biochemical factors are causal agents in criminality as same as the family, low socio-economic status or neighborhood factors.

According to Pasqualinin R.Q; Vidal G, & Bur G.E. (11) in 1957 antisocial behavior was a feature of sex chromosome anomalies in males. Casey et al in 1966 had done a survey in two English state Hospitals for patients under special security because of persistent violent or aggressive behavior and yielded an identical proportion of chromatin positive males.

They further stated that about 3% of males in maximum security prisons were XYY and the incidence was over 20% among the age group over 6 fit tall.

In 2008 D.Soudek parvahen Laroya (12) carried studies over 84 male criminals without psychiatric problems. The length of Y chromosomes were measured and compared with Y chromosome of 38 staff men of a psychiatric hospital. It was found that length of Y chromosome was significantly increased in prisoners as compared to controls. The length of both the fluorescent as well as non-fluorescent segment of Y chromosome was found to be increased

Chromosome studies on criminals are scanty. Moreover chromosome studies in murderers are very few. This study was undertaken to find out weather any specific chromosomal abnormality can be attributed to the criminals with record of violent crime such as murders in the Vidarbha area.

Aim and Objective
1.To study the chromosome abnormalities in murderers.
2. To find out whether a specific chromosomal abnormalities exists in murderers and whether it is significant.
3. This study intends to prepare the data for further research in the field of Human Genetics.

Material and Methods

This study was conducted in the Genetics Laboratory, Department of Anatomy, Government Medical College, Nagpur in co-operation with the central Jail Authorities Central Jail, Wardha Road, Nagpur and comprises of Cytogenetic study of 140 cases of male murderers.

Blood lymphocyte culture: 1 ml venous blood was drawn under complete aseptic condition in a heparinized syringe and needle. About 0.5 ml of whole blood was then added to the culture medium consisting of RPMI 1640, and depending upon whether the blast counts were more or less 10% 0.1 ml of PHA was added. Culture bottles were incubated at 37° C for 72 hours with stoppers tightly closed, 2-3 hr before harvesting 0.25 ml of Colchicine was added to culture bottle and Cells were centrifuged at 1000 RPM for 5 minutes. 10 ml of 0.075 M potassium chloride (KCL) prewarmed (37°C) was added and incubated for 15 min. Then the chilled fixative was added and bottles were kept at room temperature for cells to be fixed. 2-3 drops of cells suspension were then added with Pasteur pipette over the wet chilled slides are then air dried. Slides were treated with 0.1% trypsin EDTA for 12-20 seconds and stained in buffered Giemsa solution (5%) for 5-6 min. The slides were microphotograped by using Olympus C x 31 microscope.

Results

Observations
In all 140 criminals in the age group of 20-50 years with height 6 feet and above were subjected to cytogenetic study, by Giemsa banding technique.

Out of 140 cultures set, 84 (60%) cultures turned to be positive in which metaphases were studied. Out of 84 criminals studied, 80 (95.23%) were found to show normal cytogenetic complement and 4 (4.76%) cases were found to show abnormal cytogenetic complement (Table/Fig 1).

Metaphases were studied by GTG banding technique with the binocular research microscope (LABO). The banding pattern of chromosomes was studied for individual chromosomal identification and structural abnormality, as per the Paris Classification adopted at the Paris Conference 1971 and published in standardization in human cytogenetic, "birth defects" 1972.
The chromosomal abnormalities were found as follows:
1) 47, XYY – Two cases
2) 46, XYr (X)- Two cases

1) 47, XYY- Out of total 84 cases studied, two cases were showing extra Y chromosomes (Table/Fig 2).

2) 46, XYr (X):- Out of 84 cases studied, two cases were showing ring chromosome. Chromosome 'X' was found to be ring chromosome (Table/Fig 3).


Discussion

Number of studies (13),(14),(15),(16),(17) have been carried out over years throughout the world to find out the association between criminal behaviour and following factors.
1. Environment: Forssman and Hambert (18) in1963, Casey et al (19) in 1966, Mednick S.A & Finello HM in1983
2. Physical traits: Amstendam in1967, Voenev S, Sutherland G; Bartholomew A.A. & Hudson B. in 1968, Thompson & Thompson in 1970 and Hook in (20) 1973.
3. Heredity: Forbes in1964, Alter in 1965 & Howels in1985

It is observed that there is a definite association between the environmental parameters and crime.

The observations about association between criminal tendency and physical traits and heredity are found to be very variable. (Braun- Scharm H ;Schroeder- kurth (1986).

In this study an attempt has been made to find out if there is any definite association between the criminality and chromosomal aberrations and hence the individual which were convicted by the Court of Law under IPC 302 as murderers were subjected to cytogenetic study. Out of the 140 individuals subjected to study only 84 would be analysed for chromosomal study because of culture failure in rest of the cases. This percentage of negative cases is in approximation with those of the other workers. (Cohen, 1985).

The scanned literature showed the following data regarding chromosomal aberrations (Table/Fig 4)

The present study reveals normal diploid number of chromosomes in 95.23% cases where as chromosomal aberrations are found in 4.76% cases.


The percentage of chromosomal abnormalities is found to slightly more than the previous workers.


The data available is inadequate to compare the incidence of these individual abnormal karyotypes in the criminals and general population.


Many studies have revealed the association between 47 XYY and criminality with the varying incidence ranging between 0 - 2% percent. But many of these studies were carried out selectively on the persons in prison. (Thompson & Thompson 1970).In the absence of the definite data on association between the XYY in general population, it can be said that there is a need to study this association more thoroughly in a large population.

This study reveals that there is a definite association between the criminal behaviour and XYY. Even then it is suggested that the association should be studied in a large population before this observation can be used as a biological indicator of criminality.
