With a flurry of medals and titles to her name, MC Mary Kom needs no introduction. As she became the first boxer in the history to clinch six World Championship Golds on Saturday, one could not help but admire her for the dedication and spirit she’s exhibited over the years.

Braving the odds and fighting a tough childhood that was defined by no support, Mary took to the boxing ring on her own, aware that the journey ahead would be a tough one.

Influenced by fellow Manipuri Dinko Singh’s Gold-winning efforts at the 1998 Asian Games, the youngster won her first Women’s National Boxing Championship three years later – the same year she stood second in the World Championships.

She would better her performance next year, winning the World Championships in 2002. And thus began the career of Mary Kom, which would scale unprecedented heights in the following decade.

Kom left an impression almost immediately in the Asian Boxing Championships, and has so far won five titles there. She also won eight international medals between 2001 and 2006.

Having made her mark in the boxing ring, at this point Kom decided to take a sabbatical from the sport to get married in 2005 and have kids. Playing what has been termed a ‘masculine sport’ was challenging enough, and continuing it after becoming a mother was tougher.

Just as talk of an early retirement started doing the rounds, Mary Kom was back again. In 2008 she clinched her fourth AIBA Women’s World Championship title. After that she was on a winning spree, winning quite simply everything she fought for.

A silver at the Asian Women’s Championship in 2008, which was improved to gold two years later; a bronze at the Asian Games; and a total of six golds in four years ensured that she was among the frontrunners in the London Olympics, where women’s boxing was introduced for the first time.

Though she was unable to walk away with the gold there, Mary did clinch a bronze and then took another break to have another son a

Ngangom Dingko Singh, who passed away on Thursday, June 10, at the age of 42 after a prolonged illness, was renowned for his versatility and scientific boxing.

Brought to the INS Hamla training academy in Mumbai by the Indian Navy's talent scouts from Imphal's Sekta village, Dingko immediately became an instant hit in the roped square. His style and aura attained huge popularity in Indian boxing circles.

Kishen Narsi, an international referee and vice-chairman of the International Boxing Association's executive committee who officiated at three Olympics, remembers how the then 19 year old stunned the then world No 3, Wong Prages Sontaya in front of the Thai boxer's home crowd in the semi-final en route to a gold medal at the 1998 Bangkok Asian Games.

That triumph at that Asiad earned him the tag of the 'original star of Indian boxing'.

After spending many years with the Indian Navy, Dingko turned to coaching in 2013, when he took up an offer from SAI Imphal. In 2017, he found himself battling liver cancer and fought it bravely.

Kishen Narsi tells Laxmi Negi/Rediff.com how the Manipuri pugilist's exploits propelled Indian boxing into the world spotlight.

How would you like to define Dingko's legacy?

I have known Dingko for a long time. From the ring side I have seen his rise. There was no stopping this diminutive and fast boxer.

In 1997 when he fractured his wrist while travelling, and it was not completely healed, his Indian Navy coach asked some officials from Mumbai to help him. We took him to Dr Anand Joshi, but Dingko needed someone more specialised in hand injuries. We took him to Dr Sunil Warrier who got him back in shape.

It is a known fact that he was

The Government of Manipur (Meitei: Manipur Leingak; /mə.ni.pur lə́i.ŋak/), also known as the State Government of Manipur, or locally as State Government, is the supreme governing authority of the Indian state of Manipur and its 16 districts. It consists of an executive, led by the Governor of Manipur, a judiciary and a legislative branch (Manipur Legislative Assembly).

Like other states in India, the head of state of Manipur is the Governor, appointed by the President of India on the advice of the Central government. The post of governor is largely ceremonial. The Chief Minister is the head of government and is vested with most of the executive powers. Imphal is the capital of Manipur, and houses the Vidhan Sabha (Legislative Assembly) and the secretariat. The high court of manipur exercises the jurisdiction and powers in respect of cases arising in the State.

Abstract

BACKGROUND

Patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are associated with increased cardiovascular risk and have increased overall cardiovascular burden. On the other hand, urotensin II (UII) is one of the most potent vascular constrictors with immunomodulatory effect that is connected with a number of different cardiometabolic disorders as well. Furthermore, patients with ulcerative colitis have shown increased expression of urotensin II receptor in comparison to healthy controls. Since the features of IBD includes chronic inflammation and endothelial dysfunction as well, it is plausible to assume that there is connection between increased cardiac risk in IBD and UII.

AIM

To determine serum UII levels in patients with IBD and to compare them to control subjects, as well as investigate possible associations with relevant clinical and biochemical parameters.

METHODS

This cross sectional study consecutively enrolled 50 adult IBD patients (26 with Crohn’s disease and 24 with ulcerative colitis) and 50 age and gender matched controls. Clinical assessment was performed by the same experienced gastroenterologist according to the latest guidelines. Ulcerative Colitis Endoscopic Index of Severity and Simple Endoscopic Score for Crohn’s Disease were used for endoscopic evaluation. Serum levels of UII were determined using the enzyme immunoassay kit for human UII, according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

RESULTS

IBD patients have significantly higher concentrations of UII when compared to control subjects (7.57 ± 1.41 vs 1.98 ± 0.69 ng/mL, P < 0.001), while there were no significant differences between Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis patients (7.49 ± 1.42 vs 7.65 ± 1.41 ng/mL, P = 0.689). There was a significant positive correlation between serum UII levels and high sensitivity C reactive peptide levels (r = 0.491, P < 0.001) and a significant negative correlation between serum UII levels and total proteins (r = -0.306,
