ہندی روزنامہ ’نوبھارت ٹائمس‘ کے چیف ایڈیٹر شری راجندر ماتھر ۱۱؍ اپریل ۱۹۹۱ء کوصرف ۴۵؍ سال کی عمر میں انتقال کرگئے ۔آنجہانی ماتھر بڑے ہی فراخ دل اورغیر متعصب انسان تھے ۔سیکولرزم کے دلدادہ اورمسلمانوں کے حقوق کے لیے ہمیشہ ہی جدوجہد کرتے رہتے تھے۔رمضان شریف کے عاشق تھے۔ روزہ افطار پارٹیوں میں باوجود بڑی مصروفیتوں کے ضرور جاتے تھے۔ اکثر کہاکرتے تھے کہ مجھے رمضان شریف کاانتظار رہتا ہے ۔کسی کوکیا معلوم تھاکہ اس نیک دل انسان کی موت رمضان شریف ہی میں ہوگی۔
ہندوستان میں مسلمانوں کاکوئی اخبار نہیں ہے جوان کے دکھ درد سب کو سنائے۔مسٹر ماتھر نے نوبھارت ٹائمس کے ذریعہ مسلمانوں کی مشکلات و پریشانیوں کواہلِ وطن تک پہنچایا۔ہر محاذ پر مسلمانوں کادفاع کیا۔مسلمانوں کوہندوستان کی ریڑھ کی ہڈی بتایا ۔فرقہ پرست ہندوؤں کوہمیشہ ہی انہوں نے ڈانٹا۔ واضح ہوکہ ہندی نوبھارت ہندوستان کاسب سے زیادہ کثیرالاشاعت اخبار ہے جس کے پڑھنے والے بھی کچھ ایک چھوڑ کرسب کے سب ہندو ہی ہیں۔ ایسے شریف اور نیک غیر مسلم انسان ومسلم دوست کی وفات سے یقینا مسلمانانِ ہندکو ناقابلِ تلافی نقصان پہنچا ہے۔ [اپریل ۱۹۹۱ء]
Background: Plant derived medicines are widely used in traditional culture all over the world. Objectives: To determine the effect of Celery Seed Extract (CSE) on uric acid levels in hyperuricemic rats and to compare the effect of allopurinol and CSE. Methods: It was an animal experimental research study. Group A served as negative control whereas Group B served as positive control. CSE was given orally to three groups of rats (C, D, and E). One hour prior to administration of CSE; potassium oxonate was injected intraperitoneally in all groups except negative control to induce hyperuricemia. Similarly, group F was given allopurinol one hour after injection of potassium oxonate. Blood samples were collected for uric acid estimation. Results: It was found that administration of both CSE (group C, D, E) and allopurinol (group F) significantly lowered serum uric acid levels (p<0.001) as compared to positive control (group B). Serum uric acid lowering effect of both drugs CSE and allopurinol was found to be statistically significant on day 3rd and day 7th and was almost comparable. Conclusions: Celery seed extract significantly reduces serum uric acid levels in potassium oxonate-induced hyperuricemic rats and its uric acid lowering effect was comparable with that of allopurinol.
Induced spawning has gained much importance due to the increasing demand of fish seed. The
seed gathered from rivers does not fulfill the requirements of the aquaculture sector. The effects
of induced spawning are under discussion because utilization of Ovaprim, a synthetic hormone
also raises the question of fish health. The present research was conducted to know the effects of
induced spawning on hormonal, histological and spermatological parameters of Indian major
carps. The results depict that Ovaprim administration result in abrupt change in testosterone, LH
and FSH level in Indian major carps. The change in LH, FSH and testosterone level is not
permanent and it decreases after the induced spawning. After induced spawning fish weight also
decreases that is due to the release of milt and egg. The weight change also depicts the weight of
milt and eggs released. Histological examination exposed Necrosis and infiltration of
mononuclear cells in liver of males of Indian major carps. Another change in liver of male fishes
is detachment of hepatocytes from one another. Major changes that occurred in liver of Indian
major carps (Female) include cellular swelling and fatty acid changes in females. The histological
examination of kidney of male fish showed clear atrophy in glomerulus. Moreover interstitial
nephritis was very much evident. In addition infiltration of lymphocytes was also observed with
macro phages. Interstitial nephritis and other changes that were found in kidney cells of fish
(male) include permeation of mono nuclear cells & shedding of tubular cells. Histological
examination of male gonads showed Lobules of testis having residual spermatids in Labeo rohita.
In case of Cirrhinus Mrigala testis were observed with active stage of spermatogenesis. Lobules
were found to be packed with highly active spermatids in Catla catla. Female Fish gonads were
observed normal. There were found diverse phases of follicles in Catla catla. Fish Ovary was
found to be with immature follicles and germinal epithelium and presence in Cirrhinus mrigala
and Labeo rohita. Spermatological parameters observed showed increased sperm density, sperm
motility duration and sperm motility percentage after administration of Ovaprim. Moreover
percentage of live and dead sperm showed that there was increase in live sperm percentage in
fishes administered with Ovaprim. So, it is concluded that induced spawning influence the fish
health in many ways including the percentage of sperm motility and sperm density.
