Disease associated risk factors in premenopausal women includes professional and household stresses. While in post menopausal women the major factor is sedentary life style. Physiological characteristic have shown that the major risks associated with the aggressiveness of tumor are the receptor status especially triple negative (ER, PR and her2/neu) in both premenopausal and post menopausal women. Techniques of ELISA SEC, HPLC were tried to find out the method for estimation of the level of MUCI/CA15- 3 that showed an early detection and that was also economical. Computational protein modeling was used to predict secondary structure of MUC1. Predicted secondary structure of MUC1/CA 15-3 contains 6.0% helix, 7.9% strand or β-pleated sheet and 86.1% loop. Percentage composition shows an increased number of alanine, proline, serine, tyrosine, valine and glycine in helix, strand and turn or loop structure that indicates its basic and hydrophobic characteristics. MUC1/CA 15-3 comprises of an extracellular domain and a membrane associated domain. A junction of 3 amino acid units i.e. Cys-Gln-Cys between the extracellular subunit and transmembrane subunit is also observed. This motif is necessary for surface expression. The extracellular subunit consists of a tandem repeat unit that consist 20 amino acid residues i.e sapdnkpags and tappahgvts. This region of MUC1 may be used as vaccine for breast cancer. The subcellular subunit of MUC1 mainly consists of immunodominant DTR motif at 922 postion of the domain, is haeavily glycosylated and may protect the cell from any of the foreign body or tumor cell. The other subunit of MUC1/CA 15-3 consists of 17 amino acid residues. This subunit is associated with the plasma membrane. xixPost translational modifications (glycosylation, phosphorylation and myristoylation) are mainly observed in extracellular subunit. Several phosphorylation sites, Myristoylation sites and some glycosylation sites of tandem repeat region were predicted in MUC1/CA 15-3. It was observed that due to these modifications, the protein performed different functions. Alignment of the sequence of MUC1/CA 15-3 with the other family member of mucins (MUC2- MUC12) shows highest homology of MUC1/CA 15-3 with MUC4. The property of breast tumor to produce mucinous antigen was used for the synthesis of vaccine using the experimental mice. Electrophoretic technique was used to confirm the production of antibody that may be effective against antigen of MUC1/CA 15-3. The conclusion is that CA 15-3 is a transmembrane glycoprotein having basic and hydrophobic charecterstics. The most important part of this protein is extracellular and transmembrane subunits. These subunits of protein undergo posttranslational modification and are important in immunization and vaccine formation.

سِک ماہی دی

سِک ماہی دی
جہلم دے دریا دا ٹھنڈا ٹھنڈا پانی اے
لَے اللہ دا ناں جے کشتی پار لنگھانی اے
دلبر ساتھوں دور ہے وسدا
ناز ، ادا تھیں دلڑی کھسدا
رستہ رب رسولؐ دا دسدا
آجا در تے چھیتی جے قسمت ازمانی اے
لَے اللہ دا ناں جے کشتی پار لنگھانی اے
دلبر دی میں دید دی پیاسی
دلبر باہجھوں رہے اداسی
کدوں اوہ سوہنا مکھ وکھاسی
ہک دن ماہی اِن شاء اللہ دید کرانی اے
لَے اللہ دا ناں جے کشتی پار لنگھانی اے
دلبر یار دا شہر سنگوئی
جس دی جگ وچ ریس ناں کوئی
پیر اصغر دی دیو دھروئی
جس نے اُس دا ورد پکایا اوہو مرد گیانی اے
لَے اللہ دا ناں جے کشتی پار لنگھانی اے

جہلم شہر ہے بڑا رنگیلا
اوگنہاراں دا اے وسیلہ
اوتھے جان دا کر کجھ حیلہ
عیباں والڑیاں دی تے ہو بخشش جانی اے
لَے اللہ دا ناں جے کشتی پار لنگھانی اے
ٹلے جوگی ریت بنائی
رانجھا آیا تلک لگائی
چنڑی رنگدیاں دیر نہ لائی
سجناں ریت قلندری ایہا بہت پرانی اے
لَے اللہ دا ناں جے کشتی پار لنگھانی اے
’’ڈھوک رجو‘‘ ہے پنڈ نرالا
جتھے وسدا اللہ والا
میلے دلاں نوں کرے اُجالا
کامل اکمل سوہنا مرشد جس دا فیض روحانی اے
لَے اللہ دا ناں جے کشتی پار لنگھانی اے

عصری کاروباری اخلاقیات کی تطہیر

Islam is a complete religion which provides guidance not only for spiritual life but about material aspect of life also. There is a clear code of business ethics to be followed in trade. Unfortunately Islamic ethics are being ignored in our society. In this article, reasons of our current materialistic unethical point of view in trade and some suggestions to resolve the problem are being discussed

A Literary Critical Study of Cultural Mis Representation of Pashtun and Farsi Speaking Characters in Khaled Hosseinis Novels

The study analyzes (mis)representation of two ethnic groups of Pashtun and Persian (Farsi-speaking) characters in the novels of an Afghan-American writer, Khaled Hosseini. His novels included in the study are The Kite Runner (TKR), A Thousand Splendid Suns (ATSS) and And The Mountains Echoed (ATME). The ethnic groups belong to Afghanistan which has been pushed into a new war after the event of 9/11. The characters are analyzed in the framework of Mahmood Mamdani’s theory of “good” vs. “bad” Muslims and Fernando Ferrara’s ‘Theory and Model for the Structural Analysis of Fiction’ which has three layers of analysis i.e. surface structure, middle structure and deep structure. The analysis shows that Pashtun characters are portrayed with traits of cowardice, selfishness and immorality. Some Pashtun characters are portrayed as “good” Muslims due to Americanization/Westernization and hostility toward Taliban. Others having sympathy with Taliban are depicted as “bad” Muslims. They are more under influence of their code of life called Pashtunwali. They are shown as rich who exploit other ethnicities. Many Pashtun and Farsi-speaking characters challenge Pashtunwali for the reason that Pashtun cultural values are the main factors of disturbance and backwardness of people in the country. Farsi-speaking characters are depicted as brave, loyal, victimized, exploited and oppressed (traits). They are shown as poor and helpless people who suffer under dominating influence of Pashtuns in Afghanistan. They are depicted as “good” Muslims either because of being modern and Westernized or due to their hatred for Taliban. The presence of Americans is justified in the name of civilizing “bad” Muslims through Westernization and Americanization. However, Westernized/Americanized characters misrepresent cultural values of Afghanistan.
