Circadian rhythms are endogenous, self-sustained oscillations of multiple biological processes with approximately 24-hr rhythmicity. Circadian genes and their protein products constitute the molecular components of the circadian oscillator that form positive/negative feedback loops and generate circadian rhythms. The circadian regulation extends beyond clock genes to involve various clock-controlled genes (CCGs) that include various cell cycle genes. Aberrant expression of circadian clock genes could have important consequences on the transactivation of downstream targets that control the cell cycle and on the ability of cells to undergo apoptosis. This may lead to genomic instability and accelerated cellular proliferation potentially promoting carcinogenesis. The current study was carried out to gain further insights into the roles of circadian genes and their downstream targets (cell cycle genes) in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). We analyzed peripheral blood from 37 CLL patients and equal number of their age- and sex-matched healthy controls for the expression of the four circadian clock and three cell cycle genes. The expression levels of BMAL1, PER1, PER2,MYC, CYCLIN D1 and WEE1 were significantly impaired in CLL cases compared with those in healthy individuals (P < 0.001). BMAL1, PER1, PER2 and WEE1 were found down regulated whereas MYC and CYCLIN D1 were found upregulated. This implies that the deregulated expression of circadian clock genes through their influence on downstream clock-controlled cell cycle genes can play a role in the manifestation of CLL. Moreover, when expression levels of abovementioned genes were compared between shift workers and non-shift workers within the CLL group, the expression levels were more aberrant in shiftworkers compared to non-shift workers. This indicates that circadian dysregulation in terms of shift work may also be a contributing factor in the etiology of CLL. In the current study, serum melatonin levels were also determined in 37 CLL cases and their healthy controls. Serum melatonin levels were found significantly low (P<0.05) in CLL subjects as compared to healthy controls. Furthermore, melatonin levels were found still lower in shift workers as compared to non-shift workers within CLL group. Our results suggest that down regulation of BMAL1, PER1 and PER2 is related to upregulation of Cyclin D1, MYC and down regulation of WEE1 in CLL. Thus, aberrant expression of clock genes can lead to abnormal expression of downstream cell-cycle genes and play a role in the manifestation of CLL. Moreover, low melatonin levels in CLL patients may play a part in xivderegulation of circadian clock gene expression and shiftwork serves as a further contributing factor to an already perturbed circadian clock genes’ expression and low melatonin levels in CLL.

مولانا محمد رضوان القاسمی

مولانا محمد رضوان القاسمی مرحوم
مولانا محمد رضوان القاسمی کے انتقال سے حیدر آباد دکن کی ریاست علم و ادب ہی سونی نہیں ہوئی ہندوستانی علما کی صف سے ایسی جگہ بھی خالی ہوئی جو روایت و جدیدیت کی جامعیت کی عمدہ مثال تھی اور جس سے مستقبل میں ملک کی قیادت اسلامی کو بڑی توقعات تھیں۔
ایک مہینہ قبل جب حیدر آباد سے یہ خبر ملی کہ مولانا کو ہیمبرج ہوا تو یقین نہیں آیا، گزشتہ سال بھوپال میں رابطہ ادب اسلامی کے ایک جلسہ میں ان کی زیارت ہوئی تو وہ ہمیشہ کی طرح ہشاش بشاس، متحرک اور زندگی سے لبریز نظر آئے، ان کی سرگرمی اور ہمہ وقت جدوجہد اور تگ و دو ، دیکھنے کے لایق تھی، دیوبند سے جب وہ حیدرآباد گئے اور ایک مدرسہ سے وابستہ ہوئے تو شاید کسی نے سوچا بھی نہ ہو کہ ایک دن یہ انجان اور گم نام فارغ دیوبند، حیدرآباد کے آسمان علم و ادب پر سب سے روشن ستارے کی شکل میں ظاہر ہوگا، حیدرآباد کے علاقہ عابد شاب میں مسجد عامرہ سے ان کی صلاحیتوں کا سورج طلوع ہوا اور دارالعلوم سبیل السلام اس سفر سعادت کا مرحلہ عروج ثابت ہوا، مولانا رضوان القاسمی نے اپنے اخلاق، رکھ رکھاؤ، عالمانہ متانت و رزانت اور خداداد انتظامی صلاحیت سے اس ارض دکن کو اس طرح فتح کیا کہ اب حیدر آباد اور وہ لازم و ملزوم کی حیثیت اختیار کر گئے، وہاں کے مقتدر اخباروں میں ان کے دینی و ادبی کالموں کا انتظار ہزاروں قارئین کو شدت سے رہتا، اﷲ تعالیٰ نے خطابت کے ساتھ قلم کا سلیقہ بھی فیاضی سے ودیعت فرمایا، ان کے قلم کی شگفتگی، شائستگی اور شستگی کی داد اہل نظر نے دی، ان کا زاویہ نظر مستقیم اور طرز ادا بہت معتدل تھا اور اس میں ان کی...

قرآنی طرز زندگی کے مطابق قیادت و رہبریت کی شرائط

Islam teach us complete way of life. It guides human to face any circumstance from birth to death such as clothing and appearance etc, Beard on male face is one of those guidance, through which male can be differentiated from female. Quran and Sunnah, Ijma and Qiyas (four principles of sharia) has made beard a part of human and Islamic nature. Due to this beard is obligatory and not having beard on face and large mustaches on face is the appearance of non-Muslims. And we are ordered to oppose that appearance. And by leaving beard less than one hand is forbidden, and group of many sins. And Hazrath Muhammad (SAW) also hate them. And according to sharia having beard on face have a lot of benefits for health and not having beard on face is much harmful for health. And cutting beard more than one hand is allowed and as well evident that it is Sunnah and Mustahib, because it is the original quantity of beard. And also it is based on the principles of nature and common sense instead of copying.

Eco-Friendly Synthesis of Thiazolidinone Derivatives and Their Biological Studies

Microwave heating, ionic liquids and solid phase catalysts were employed and studied for the preparation of various 4-thiazolidinone derivatives and for “in vitro” antibacterial and antifungal activity. These techniques revealed several advantages over the conventional methods. In combination with microwave radiation, ionic liquids were used as phase transfer catalysts (PTC) and montmorillonite clays (K10 and KSF types) were used as solid phase catalysts. The catalytic efficiency of montmorillonite KSF was marginally inferior to that of montmorillonite K10. Compounds pertaining to main six different series were synthesized. In the first series; two methods Microwave procedure-I: Multi-Component Reaction in DMF and Microwave procedure-II: Solvent free, Multi- Component Reaction were used and it was found that first was better in yield ranging from 82.4% to 96.0% while yield in procedure-II ranging from 42.6% to 84.6%. The compound 4,6-dimethylpyrimidin-2-amine was treated with disubstituted aromatic aldehydes in dimethylformamide to form a Schiff base and Schiff base was further treated with sulfanyl acetic acid under microwave radiation to obtain the compounds (88-97). The compounds of first series were synthesized and elucidated as 2-(2,4-dimethylphenyl)-3-(4,6-dimethylpyrimidin-2-yl)-thiazolidin-4-one (88), 3- (4,6-dimethylpyrimidin-2-yl)-2-(2-hydroxy-4-methylphenyl)-thiazolidin-4-one (89), 2- (2,4-dihydroxyphenyl)-3-(4,6-dimethylpyrimidin-2-yl)-thiazolidin-4-one (90), 2-(2,4- dichlorophenyl)-3-(4,6-dimethylpyrimidin-2-yl)-thiazolidin-4-one 3-(4,6- (91), dimethylpyrimidin-2-yl)-2-(2-hydroxy-4-methoxyphenyl)-thiazolidin-4-one (92), 2-(4- chloro-2-methylphenyl)-3-(4,6-dimethylpyrimidin-2-yl)-thiazolidin-4-one (93), 3-(4,6- dimethylpyrimidin-2-yl)-2-(4-fluorophenyl)-thiazolidin-4-one (94), 3-(4,6- dimethylpyrimidin-2-yl)-2-(4-nitrophenyl)-thiazolidin-4-one (95), 2-(2,4- difluorophenyl)-3-(4,6-dimethylpyrimidin-2-yl)-thiazolidin-4-one (96) and 2-(3- (dimethylamino)phenyl)-3-(4,6-dimethylpyrimidin-2-yl)- thiazolidin-4-one (97).
