عبدالمنان بیدلؔ
پٹنہ یونیورسٹی کے شعبہ فارسی کے سابق پروفیسر جناب عبدالمناف بیدل کی وفات گزشتہ اپریل میں ہوگئی، انھوں نے تقریباً نوے سال کی عمر پائی اور اس لحاظ سے خوش نصیب تھے کہ اپنی زندگی میں اپنے شاگردوں کو علم و ادب میں بڑی شہرت حاصل کرتے دیکھا، بڑے شفیق استاد تھے، اس خاکسار کو بھی ان کی شاگردی کی سعادت نصیب ہوئی، اپنے زمانہ میں فارسی کی نصابی کتابی انگریزی لباس پہن انگریزی زبان میں پڑھاتے وقت اس مشرقی زبان میں مغربی رنگ پیدا کردیتے، بڑے اچھے شاعر بھی تھے، بیدل تخلص کرتے، مشاعروں میں اپنے ترنم سے اپنی شاعری میں دلنوازی، دل ربائی اور دل نشینی کی ساری کیفیت پیدا کردیتے، آخر عمر میں مذہبی رنگ بھی زیادہ غالب ہوگیا تھا، زائرین حج کی خدمت مختلف حیثیتوں سے کرتے رہے، استاذی المحترم حضرت مولانا سید سلیمان ندویؒ کے سفر حج میں ساتھ تھے، سلیمان نمبر میں ان کا ایک پرکیف مضمون ’’سفر حجاز کے تاثرات‘‘ کے عنوان سے شائع ہوا، گزشتہ اگست میں ان کو حکومت ہند کی طرف سے فارسی کی سند کا ایوارڈ بھی ملا، لیکن حکومت کی یہ جوہر شناسی اس وقت ہوئی جب ان کے بہت سے شاگردوں کو ان سے پہلے اس اعزاز سے نوازا جاچکا تھا، اﷲ تبارک و تعالیٰ ان کو ان کی نیکیوں اور خوبیوں کی بدولت کروٹ کروٹ جنت نعیم عطا فرمائیں، آمین۔ (صباح الدین عبدالرحمن، مئی ۱۹۸۲ء)
Growth factors are the potential operational members which control different phases of liver regeneration. Different growth factors have expression regulation in the whole process relating to different phases of liver regeneration. Objective: To assess the expression regulation of different growth factors and cytokines involved in liver regeneration in a phase-dependent manner. Methods: Blood and liver samples were collected and analyzed on 1st, 3rd, 5th, 7th and 14th postoperative days after 50% Partia hepatectomy (PHx). Results: Steady increase of liver regeneration rate was recorded from 90.8% (1st day) to 97.9% (7th day). Liver function tests further confirmed the steady liver recovery in PHx mice. Several growth factors such as HGF and VEGF exhibited an up-regulation till 5th day and later gradual decrease till 14th day compared to control mice. Albumin, CK18 and CK19 showed sequential expression increase from 1st to 14th day compared to AFP and HNF-4α upregulated until 5th and 1st day, respectively. Quantification of these growth factors further confirm our results. Conclusions: Conclusively, these results highlight a phase-dependent regulation and role of growth factors in liver regeneration and recovery
Chickpea wilt caused by Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. ciceris (Padwick) is a devastating disease of the chickpea crop throughout the world, wherever, chickpea is grown. Soil / environmental factors play an important role for wilt disease development. For successful and economical management characterization of soil and environmental factors conducive for wilt disease development and identification of resistant sources within available germplasm against wilt disease are very important. Three hundred and eighteen genotypes obtained from various sources were evaluated under sick plot conditions against chickpea wilt disease incidence. The experiment was planted in augmented design with single replication, repeated twice during the years of 2010-11 and 2011-12. Natural inoculums was relied upon for infection based upon a disease rating scale and area under disease progressive curve, only three lines/varieties (5006, k021-10 and k035-10) were found to be highly resistant during the both years of investigation. Most of the lines/varieties were moderately resistant to susceptible (21-50% Disease incidence). A significant co-relation of environmental/ soil variables (i.e. maximum and minimum air temperature, relative humidity, rainfall soil max. /min. temperature and soil moisture) with disease incidence was recorded on 40 chickpea lines. Maximum disease development occurred at temperature range of 23-28 . For the management of chickpea wilt disease fungicides and biological control agents were used both in vitro and glass house assay. In-vitro study showed that Carbendazim proved to be best among the fungicides, while among the bio-control agents Pseudomonas fluorescens was more efficient against Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. ciceris. These treatments also proved effective in glass house by lowering the number of chickpea wilted plants.
