Obesity and diabetes are increasingly important public health problems across the world.Obesity is associated with higher risk for chronic diseases including cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes. The increasing trend of diabetes and obesity is imposing a huge burden on health-care systems. Despite therapeutic management with conventional agents obesity and related cardiovascular and metabolic complications remain the major health concerns around the globe. The currently available drugs for obesity and diabetes are associated with multiple adverse effects. Therefore there is an urgent need to develop newer drugs, which are safe and effective. Soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH) inhibitors offer a novel promising therapeutic target to manage diabetes, obesity and associated complications. Inhibition of soluble epoxide hydrolase increases epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs) levels. EETs are epoxide derivatives formed from arachidonic acid by the action of cytochrome P450 (CYP) epoxygenases specially theCYP2C and CYP2J subfamilies thatmetabolize arachidconic acid to various EETs, such as 5,6-, 8,9-, 11,12-, and 14,15-EETs. EETs are important regulators of the cardiovascular system and have been shown to exert potent vasodilators, anti-inflammatory, antithrombotic, cardio protective and antioxidant effects. Growing number of evidences suggest the over activity of sEH in obesity and diabetes which leads to functional deficit of EETs in the body. Decreased level of EETs is implicated in pathophysiological mechanisms of obesity and diabetes associated complications. Stabilization of EETs through pharmacological inhibition of sEH or sEH deletion has been shown to have beneficial effects in various conditions including pain, inflammation, hypertension and ischemia. Based on diverse physiological role of EETs, the current project was aimed at evaluation of 1-trifluoromethoxyphenyl-3-(1-propionylpiperidine-4-yl) urea (TPPU), a novel soluble epoxide hydrolase inhibitor (sEHI) against fructose induced diabetes and high fat diet–induced obesity in related cardiovascular and metabolic complicationsin rats. TPPUis the most potent soluble epoxide hydrolase inhibitor, metabolically stable and having good pharmacokinetic profile. Although the potential of soluble epoxide hydrolase inhibitor for the treatment of obesity related cardiovascular diseases and metabolic dysfunctions appear promising, it has not been fully established. The current study revealed that rats administered with fructose solution for 12 weeks developed classic symptoms of metabolic syndrome. Controlled rats fed on fructose showed tremendous increase in blood pressure, blood glucose and insulin levels as well as levels of TGs, cholesterol, LDLs were increased (P<0.001). There was significant increase of ALT, ALP, urea and uric acid levels in rats fed on fructose. Endothelium dysfunction was observed in fructose fed animal with attenuated response to acetylcholine.Animals that were fed on fructose and treated with TPPU (2 mg/kg p.o) for 12 weeks improved insulin resistance , decreased blood pressure, blood glucose levels and lowered serum cholesterol, TGs and LDL while HDL levels was elevated, compared to untreated control animals. The fructose induced endothelium dysfunction was also improved with TPPU treatement. The histopathology and immunohistochemistry results of the TPPU treated animals exhibited regenerative effect on ?-cells of the pancreas in diabetic rats. There was increase in the number of islet of langerhans in the pancreas of diabetic rats treated with TPPU compared with untreated rate. The Immunohistochemical staining with anti-insulin antibody confirmed a marked reduction in insulin secreting cells in diabetic untreated rats while TPPU treated group showed normal mass of secreting cells. The results of the present study revealed regeneration in the pancreatic ?-cells in diabetic rats treated with the TPPU (2 mg/kg p.o) for 12 weeks.The present work showed a significant increase in levels of serum liver enzymes (ALP, ALT) in the fructose-fed untreated animals which were significantly decreased in TPPU treated animals. The microscopic examination of the liver sections of diabetic untreated group exhibited great improvement of cellular architecture in the TPPU treated animals. In the present study, obesity was induced rats by feeding them on HFD (Cholesterol 40%, carbohydartes 40% and proteins 20%) for two months. Rats fed on HFD had considerable increase in their body weights compared to age-matched control animals fed on regular diet (Normal control). The increase in body weights of rats fed on HFD and simultaneously administered with TPPU (2 mg/kg p.o) for the two months was significantly decreased (P<0.01). There was also significant (P<0.01) increase in the systolic blood pressure of animals and vascular dysfunction with decreased relaxant response of vessels to acetylcholine and sodium nitroprussidein animals fed on HFD compared to control rats fed on regular diet. This increase in systolic blood pressure and vascular dysfunction was attenuated by TPPU treatment in animals fed on HFD. , In the present study, HDF caused significant increase in plasma creatinine levels (P<0.001) in animals compared to those fed on normal diet. The increased in plasma creatinine levels were inhibited in animals fed on HFD and treated with TPPU for two months. HFD-induced obesity is most commonly associated with systemic inflammation. The present study also investigated systemic inflammation by measurement of circulating obesity markers. The adiponectin plasma levels were highly decreased (P<0.001) in rats fed on HFD for two months compared to control rate fed on normal diet (p < 0.001).Adiponectin levels were increased in rats fed on HFD and treated with TPPU. Leptin resistance was also increased in obese animals associated with higher leptin levels inanimals fed on HFD compared to those fed on normal diet. The increase in leptin levels was significantly decreased in animals fed on HFD and treated with TPPU for two months.In the present investigation obese animals had increased levels of plasma insulin compared to the control animals fed on regular diet (normal control). This increase in insulin levels was significantly suppressed (P< 0.001) by TPPU treatment in rats fed on HFD. The other metabolic parameters such as plasma cholesterol, TGs, LDLs were increased and HDL decreased in obese animals fed on HFD compared to those fed a regular diet.HFD also caused tremendous increase in serum ALT and ALP. The increase in lipid levels was inhibited and HDL levels enhanced in animals fed on HFD and treated with TPPU. TPPU treatment also reversed HFD induced ALT and ALP abnormalities in rats caused by HFD treatment. The decrease in liver enzymes was also reflected in the finding from microscopic examination of the liver sections showing marked improvement in the liver architecture in animals fed on HFD and treated with TPPU compared to those treated with vehicle and fed on HFD. These findings indicate that TPPU could be potential new drug to manage obesity induced cardiovascular and metabolic complications. These findings indicate that therapeutic and/or preventive potentials of TPPU against fructose induced diabetes and HFD-induced obesity and the related cardiovascular and metabolic complications in rats.

آثم فردوسی

آثم مرزا (۱۹۳۳ء۔۲۰۰۳ء) کا اصل نام مرزا محمد طفیل بیگ تھا۔ آپ سیالکوٹ میں پیدا ہوئے۔ (۸۱۷) آثم مرزا بنیادی طورپر ایک افسانہ نگار ہیں لیکن انھوں نے شاعری بھی کی ہے۔ ان کا شعری کلام ملک کے اہم رسائل جرائد’’محفل‘‘،لاہور’’اظہار‘‘،کراچی’’اتالیق‘‘،سیالکوٹ’’جسارت‘‘کراچی’’ویمن ڈائجسٹ‘‘،’’حرم‘‘،لاہور ، ’’سیارہ ‘‘،لاہور’’امروز‘‘ لاہور اور ’’شام و سحر‘‘ لاہور میں چھپتا رہا۔ ابھی تک آثم مرزا کا کوئی شعری مجموعہ منظر عام پر نہیں آیا۔

ترقی پسند تحریک کے ہیجانی و جذباتی دور میں آثم مرزا نے افسانوی نثر کے ساتھ ساتھ شاعری کے کوچے میں قدم رکھا۔ اور آزاد نظم کو اپنے خیالات کے اظہار کا ذریعہ بنایا۔ ان کی شاعری میں سیاسی لہر کارفرما نظر آتی ہے۔ مگر انھوں نے خود کو مریضانہ محور پر اشتراکی فلسفے کے تابع نہ کیا بلکہ اپنا اسلامی تشخص برقرار رکھا۔ آثم مرزا کی ایک مشہور نظم ’’مجھے بھی ہتھیاردو‘‘ کے عنوان سے اس کے سیاسی ہونے کا پتہ چلتا ہے لیکن انھوں نے اس نظم میں سیاسی پراپیگنڈہ سے کام نہیں لیا ہے۔ اس نظم کے کچھ اشعار ملاحظہ فرمائیے:

مجھے بھی ہتھیار دو کہ میں بھی

ستمگروں کے حصار ظلمت میں قید انسانیت کے بگڑے نقوش کو رنگ روپ دے کر

آزاد کر دوں گا

کہ اُجڑی راہوں میں گمشدہ نکہتوں کے

فانوس جمگمگائیں

کہ فصلِ گُل کی نوید

پت جھڑ کی اوٹ میں بے قرار راہوں کی زندگی کا سرور بخشے(۸۱۸)

اس نظم کے آخر میں وہ نئے عزم کا اظہار اس طرح کرتے ہیں:

مجھے بھی ہتھیار دو(۸۱۹)

آثم مرزا قلبی واردات کو شعری قالب میں ڈھالنے کے ساتھ ساتھ ماحول،معاشرے اور جدید رجحانات کو بھی ذہن میں رکھتے ہیں۔ وہ جس دنیا میں رہتے ہیں اس کے نشیب و فراز تک رسائی کر کے...

An Analytical Study of Hazrat Abdul Rehman (RA) Ibn Samara As Conqueror of Balochistan

Hazrat Abdul Rehman (may Allah be pleased with him) belonged to Arab tribe of Quraish and was a close relative of Mohammad (peace be upon him). At the time of conquest of Makkah He (may Allah be pleased with him) entered the circle of Islam. He (may Allah be pleased with him) is counted among the companions of Muhammad (may Allah be pleased with him) who came to sub-continent specially Balochistan in order to preach for Islam and Jihad during the Khilafat of orthodox caliphs. He (may Allah be pleased with him) came to Balochistan twice for Jihad and conquests first during the Khilafat of Hazrat Usman (may Allah be pleased with him) and second time in the early era of Hazrat Muawia (may Allah be pleased with him). He (may Allah be pleased with him) played a vital role in the wars of Balochistan. He (may Allah be pleased with him) established Zehri his abode and capital after conquering Kalat, Khuazdar (Sajistan), Kachi, Gandhava, and Chaghi, and from here he expanded the series of his conquests till Kabul and Qandar. Besides this, he included many areas of sub-continent in the Islamic empire of conquered areas. His (may Allah be pleased with him) life is consists of great chapters of sincerity in deeds. Wisdom and valor, determination fearlessness, strife, hospitality, simplicity and patience. He (may Allah be pleased with him) is counted among the great generals of Islam had the honour to have carried the message of Holy faith in every corner of Balochistan in tough and unfavorable conditions and planted the flag of Islam in Balochistan forever.  

Effect of Colchicine on Cellular and Humoral Immune Responses in Mice

Colchicine is separated from Colchicum autumnale plant (Battersby et al.1972).Colchicine was approved in 2009 by the Federal drug agency (FDA) for the prophylaxis and the treatment of acute attack of gout (Richette and Bardin 2010). It is investigated that colchicine reduced pain of gouty arthritis (Lidar and Livneh 2007). Colchicine ointment is useful for treatment and prevention of acute gout attacks (Maduri and Atla 2012).Colchicine is an alkaloid. It is used for the treatment of Familial Mediterranean fever and gout. It has played its anti-inflammatory role by acting on microtubules. Molecular basis of this drug has studied on expression of human umbilical vein endothelial cell line gene. It has ability to change expression of gene which resulted in inflammatory processes or neutrophil migration. This drug not only have anti-inflammatory role through inhibition of microtubules but also changes at transcriptional level of gene expression (Chetrit et al. 2006). Colchicine has been used for the treatment of biliary and liver cirrhosis (Sabouraud et al. 1992).Colchicine is beneficial for the treatment of idiopathic thrombocytopenic pupura resistant to regular treatment (Strother et al. 1984).
