ہفت افلاک کا عنوان ہوا کرتا تھا : جب ستارہ مر ا ذیشان ہوا کرتا تھا
چین اس کو بھی گھڑی بھر کو میسر نہیں تھا : اُن دنوں میں بھی پریشان ہوا کرتا تھا
اُن دنوں دھول تھی اتنی نہ دھؤاں پھیلا تھا : دیکھ لینا تجھے آسان ہوا کرتا تھا
خال و خد حسن کا معیار بڑھا دیتے ہیں : میں اُسے دیکھ کے حیران ہوا کرتا تھا
پھر کسی نے دلِ ویران کا در باز کیا : یہ علاقہ تو بیابان ہوا کرتا تھا
ہے کوئی اُس سا حسیں شخص تو آگے آئے
پورے کیمپس میں یہ اعلان ہوا کرتا تھا
٭
آج محفل میں اسے دیکھ کے یاد آئی بہت
داستاں چاند کی جو ہم نے سنی نانی سے
اس ستم گر سے مجھے زخم ملیں گے جتنے
وہ منالے گا مجھے اتنی ہی آسانی سے
جب سے آئے ہیں خریدار چراغوں کے نوید
تیرگی بڑھنے لگی شہر میں تابانی سے
اردو اور ہندی کا لسانی اشتراک و افتراق Initially was only language used to express human ideas. In every age, along with customs and traditions, language also went through stages of evaluation. That is why language of each region is unique. This uniqueness of languages is of its identity. Like human beings, languages also have their own families, and different languages grow as sub- branches of language family. They flourish and sometimes thrive and come to life through process of evolution. When some languages die out. Urdu and Hindi also belong to large languages families. They have a deep relationship. And speaking of same relationship, some tinkers do not separate them from each other. When it sometimes thinkers, there is difference between in the two. At a glance, we will mention the linguistic similarities and difference between Urdu and Hindi. Where are places and where there is difference between them, but all of them are mentioned here.
Introduction: Colorectal cancer is the third most common cancer worldwide, as indicated by WHO. Local published and unpublished data indicate that patients in the developing world with colorectal cancer tend to present at an early age, and possibly at a more advanced stage than described in the developed world. The reason for this difference is unclear, and as yet undefined.
The Wnt/APC pathway, Microsatellite instability pathway and the Epigenetic pathway are three pathogenetically distinct pathways that have been implicated in the development of colorectal cancer. Exploration of these patterns may allow us to elucidate possible reasons for these differences.
Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the expression patterns of three molecules, β-catenin, p27 and COX-2, which represent various points of interaction along the Wnt/APC pathway, in colorectal cancers diagnosed at the Department of Pathology,Aga KhanUniversityHospital,Nairobi, and to correlate the findings with clinical, demographic and pathological characteristics of the study subjects.
Methods: Tissue blocks of 100 consecutive colorectal cancer resection specimens received during the period March 2006 to Dec 2009, were retrieved from the archives at the Department of Pathology. Haematoxylin and Eosin slides were prepared and reviewed for purposes of confirmation, typing, grading and staging of the colon cancer. Immunohistochemical expression for β-catenin, p27 and COX-2, was assessed and scored. Findings were correlated with relevant demographic, pathologic and clinical data.
Data Management and analysis: Data were recorded using a data sheet and then entered into an MS Excel spreadsheet. Statistical analysis was done using SPSS version 15.0 (SPSS Inc, Chicago) and STATA version 10.0 (Stata Inc,Texas).
Chi square test (or Fisher’s exact test when number was <5) was performed to determine the association between categorical variables.
Results:β-catenin aberrant expression was found in 75% of tumours. 93% of cases showed moderate to strong nuclear p27 expression and 78% of cases demonstrated moderate to strong COX-2 overexpression. β-catenin expression patterns were associated with tumour location, and COX-2 overexpression with tumour histological subtype.
Conclusion: The aberrant expression of β-catenin corresponds with the overexpression of COX-2, supporting their postulated relationship in the Chromosomal instability pathway.
The Wnt/APC pathway still appears to be the most common pathway, despite our younger population. The utility of p27 still requires further evaluation and validation, due to conflicting results.
