The availability of stationary phases for crude and specific separations is an important task achieved by a separation chemist. This necessity becomes vital when the complex samples like biofluids are to be dealt with proteome science. The emergence of new synthetic polymers has a massive and continuing effect on the direction and capabilities of modern analytical science. The derivatization of these polymers has made them an efficient class of substrate, having unique properties and the selectivity tailored surface chemistries for target molecules. The deeper and detailed characterization of complex sample types has become feasible due to the enhanced selectivity and sensitivity offered by these polymer materials. The work presented here involves the synthesis and application of a terpolymeric sorbent and two bi-functional polymers with different functionalizations adapted for the selective enrichment of biomolecules of interest from biological fluids. Also a polymeric monolith is prepared and modified by controlled growth of porous coordination network to enable it for the selective enrichment for biologically relevant phosphopeptides. Each of bifunctional monomers, glycidyl propargyl ether (GPE) and allylglycidyl ether (AGE) is thermally polymerized with divinylbenzene (DVB) to form poly(GPE/DVB) and poly(AGE/DVB). Synthesis of terpolymer is carried out by the radical polymerization of monomers; methyl acrylate, acrylic acid and vinyl acetate with diethylene glycol dimethacrylate as cross-linking agent benzoyl peroxide as initiator. Synthesized polymers are characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-Ray spectroscopy (EDX) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The polymers are further derivatized to IMAC (immobilized metal ion affinity chromatography) and are investigated by loading different metal ions (Fe3+, Ti4+, Zr4+ and La3+). The trypsin digested products of phosphoproteins, such as casein, non-fat milk, egg yolk, HeLa cell extract and human blood serum, are used to explore phosphopeptide enrichment ability of the modified polymers from complex samples. Serum profiling of healthy and diseased samples demonstrates the potential of new polymer to impart in the disease diagnosis. The identification with their sequence coverage is made using mascot and Phosphosite Plus. Poly(AGE/DVB) has high selectivity of 1:2000 with BSA background. Hydrophobicity is introduced to the polymers through octadecyl amine (ODA) which provides compatible results to commercially available reverse phase materials for the desalting of complex mixtures of all caseins. In another approach, an iron-benzenetricarboxylate (FeBTC) coordination network has been confined within the pores of a polystyrene-divinyl benzene-methacrylic acid polymer monolith by means of a step-by-step in-situ growth mechanism. The enhanced amount of active metal sites due to the gradual incorporation of Fe(III) through coordination with trimesic acid enables the selective enrichment of biologically relevant phosphopeptides. The FeBTC-porous polymer monolith preparation is adapted to a capillary column format, obtaining for the first time, a flow- through miniaturized device containing a porous coordination polymer thin layer, which is implementable for the efficient purification of biological samples.

بہن بھائی

بہن بھائی

                علی  اکبر ناطق اپنے بہن بھائیوں میں سب سے بڑے ہیں ان کے چھ بھائی ہیں۔ دو بھائی آرکی ٹیکٹ، کچھ کھیتوں میں کام کرتے ہیں اور کچھ نے اپنا خاندانی پیشہ ’’معماری ‘‘ جاری رکھا ہوا ہے۔ تمام بھائی ان سے چھوٹے ہیں۔ کل نو بہن بھائی ہیں ایک بہن تمام بہن بھائیوں سے چھوٹی ہے۔

                ان کے چھوٹے بھائی اصغر جن کی وفات ایک حادثے میں ہوئی۔وہ اپنی بہن کے بارے میں بتاتے ہیں کہ ان کا  نام خدیجہ تھا ،وہ سکول ٹیچر تھیں ،ان کا قتل ان کے شوہر نے کیا تھا اور ناطق وجہ بھی بتاتے ہیں کہ ان کے شوہر نے ان کا قتل انشورنس کے پیسوں کے لیے کیا تھا۔

تفسیر قرآن میں ام المؤمنین سیدۃ عائشه کا مقام

Quran is the absolute and error free source of knowledge for all mankind. The words and meanings of the Quran both have been revealed by Allah and will remain unchanged for ever. The holy Quran was explained by the Holy prophet and by sahaba as well. Later on different scholars of Islam have made notable contribution in this regard. Many companions of the Holy prophet are famous in the explanation of the Holy Quran. Although Syyeda Aeshah is famous in the field of Hadith but she is one of most prominent Mufassrah of the Quran too. She has deep and correct knowledge of the Holy Quran. In this Article the status of Sayyedah Aesha in the field of tafseer has been discussed. Hopefully the readers will get useful information from this Article

Fasciolosis in Pakistan: Adult and Egg Phenotyping, Risk Mapping and Serological Studies in Sub-Tropical Punjab

Fasciolosis also known as fascioliasis is a highly pathogenic liver infection caused by F. hepatica and F. gigantica. The study was aimed to use morphological markers for identification of fasciolids, generation of risk maps and use of rapid and cost effective diagnostic tool to reduce the impact of fasciolosis on animal health. The phenotypic features of adults and eggs of fasciolid species infecting buffaloes from central Punjab area, Pakistan, have been studied to characterize the fasciolid populations involved. Morphometric analyses were made by applying standardized measurements with a computer image analysis system (CIAS). The current investigation is first time conducted in Pakistan to confirm the taxonomic status of fasciolids by comparing with other pure standard populations viz., F. hepatica of European Mediterranean origins and F. gigantica representing Burkina Faso (Africa). In these geographical areas there is no overlapping of both fasciolids species. Only parasites obtained from bovines were employed. The climatic factors influencing fascioliasis presence and potential spread were analyzed from five meteorological stations during 1990-2010. The fascioliasis forecast risk Mt and Wb-bs (Water-Budget-Based System) indices and NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index), known to be useful for fascioliasis assessment, were obtained and correlated with geographical distribution, seasonality patterns and two-decade evolution of fascioliasis in livestock throughout the province. These two climatic forecast indices and a remote sensing marker are used to characterize the climatic factors and the earth surface in order to ascertain the epidemiological complexity and time-lag dynamics of fascioliasis. The seroprevalence of fascioliasis was also determined in sub-tropical Punjab with the application of a very sensitive and xxxispecific ELISA test by using monoclonal antibodies which are able to detect even very low intensity infection. The MM3 Sero-ELISA was applied to check the status of fascioliasis. The increase of disease transmission risk in the lowlands should be highlighted, given that the largest part of the Punjab province includes low altitude, highly irrigated plains. The importance of livestock in this province makes this phenomenon to be given forecast priority assessment henceforth in order to establish the adequate control measures. The use of cost effective diagnostic tools would be helpful to reduce the impact of fascioliasis on animal health by selecting the appropriate anthelmintic treatment. An annual treatment scheme to effectively control the disease is finally recommended to be applied throughout the whole Punjab province.
