We have reported here an outbreak of nutritional eye disease associated with multiple vitamin deficiencies. This seems to be the first epidemic of this nature ever reported in this country. The chief complaint was dimness of vision in both eyes, the cause of which was: (1) chronic retrobulbar neuritis or (2) superficial vascularizing keratitis or (3) both affections co-existing. The patients invariably gave the history of having subsisted for some time on very deficient diet-deficient both in quantity and in quality. They were on the whole healthy up to the time of onset of their complaint. Adult males and females were attacked. In females, pregnancy and lactation were predisposing factorsIn many patients associated signs and symptoms of vitamin B complex deficiency were observed-namely, angular stomatitis, glossitis, numbness around the mouth, hyperesthesia or hyposthesia in the extremities, and other manifestationsThe retrobulbar neuritis was probably brought about by several known and unknown causes but mainly by the deficiency of the B1 factor and especially of the vitamin B complex: Likewise, the superficial vascularizing keratitis was brought about by similar mechanism-the deficiency of the B2 factor of the same vitamin B complex playing a predominant roleThe essence of the treatment was the administration of well-balanced and liberal diet, especially rich in vitamins that were suspected to be insufficient. Prompt response was noted. In those cases in which a let up in the liberal dietary regime could not be helped owing to economic reasons, relapse occurredThe outbreak of the epidemic commenced soon after the war, reaching the maximum height of incidence about December 1942 and practically disappeared about the end of September 1943. The cause could be traced to the sudden dislocation in the supply of foods and the poor economic conditions of the masses occasioned by the national emergency. Unfortunately, no laboratory tests were employed for the estimation of the different vitamin content of the blood or urine to check the clinical diagnosis by dietary trial. Since satisfactory results appeared promptly after dietary therapy alone, the presumption of a deficiency disease was considered verifiedWe conclude this report by emphasizing that there is a great neccessity for continuing the study of nutritional eye diseases in collaboration with the internist, the neurologist, the nutritionist, and the pathologist. There is likewise an imperative need of recommending to the public a balanced diet that is both easily available and within the reach of even the poorest in order to help forestall future outbreaks of serious epidemics of deficiency diseases in the face of sudden and unexpected national emergencies that may disrupt the adequate supply of foods for the masses.

Adequate vitamin B(2), vitamin B(6), folate and vitamin B(12) nutrition is known to be important for reproductive function in women of childbearing age. The purpose of this study was to evaluate serum vitamin B(2), vitamin B(6), folate and vitamin B(12) status and serum homocysteine levels in 115 women aged 33.2 +/- 4.0 years, who had been diagnosed with infertility, and 49 women aged 34.5 +/- 3.8 years having at least one born child. Total vitamin B(2) and vitamin B(6) intakes in infertile women were significantly lower than those in control. Serum vitamin B(2), vitamin B(6), folate and vitamin B(12) concentrations were significantly lower in infertile women than those in control and serum homocysteine levels were significantly higher in infertile women than those in control. Thirteen percent in infertile women and zero percent in control were assessed as hyperhomocysteinemic and there was a significant difference in the prevalence of hyperhomocysteinemia between infertile women and control. 41% infertile women were assessed as folate deficiency. Serum folate concentrations was negatively correlated with serum homocysteine of the infertile women and control. Total vitamin B2 intakes was negatively correlated with serum homocysteine of the infertile women and control. Total vitamin B6, folate intakes were negatively correlated with homocysteine of infertile women only. In conclusion, infertile women are needed to intake more B vitamins intakes. Furthermore researches are needed to estimate adequate B vitamin supplementation in infertile women.

4.Contribution to the study on stabilization of tablets of vitamin B1+ B6+ B12
Pharmaceutical Journal 2000;286(2):12-15
To stabilize vitamin B12 in tablets containing Vitamin B1+B6+B12, Kollidon Cl-M was used as stabililizer combining with the dispersion of vitamin B12 in dry state before compression. Applying accelerated stability testing with storage condition of t0 = 570C, RH = 80% in 72 hours, the preliminary results showed that the use of Kollidon CL-M 2% in the formulation can improved effect on the stabilization of vitamin B12.

6.Dosage of vitamines B1, B2, B6, PP in the injectable product Becozyme by capillary electrophoresis method
Pharmaceutical Journal 2005;0(5):20-22
A capillary electrophoresis method was used for simultaneous determination of vitamines: B1, B2, B6 and PP in multivitamines injection (Becozym-Roche). The method was simple, rapid, economic, accurate and in high precision. Relative errors were from 0.65% to 1.53% and recoveries were from 99.7% to 101.4%. The method can be applied in analysis other multi-component product to replace high performance liquid chromatorgaphy method
