The mechanisms linking renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) to hypertrophy have not been fully established, but, Ang-(1-7)/Mas reticence and ovariectomy are important contributors. Interleukin cytokines and natriuretic peptides are key regulators of cardiac hypertrophy, lifting the possibility that hypertrophied persons have an impaired interleukins and natriuretic peptides levels. In the present novel study, FVB/N mouse model with Ang-(1-7) receptor Mas genetic deletion and ovariectomy was used to investigate function of renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) and estrogen in the molecular and endocrine control and regulation of cardiovascular homeostasis and to find their relationship with interleukin-1 and natriuretic peptide families and their receptors via using gender difference approach. - 64 - Immunohistochemical (IHC) and reverse transcription and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) analyses were performed, parallel relating morphological and histological findings. Histological and morphological analyses of heart revealed left ventricular hypertrophy in Ang-(1-7)/Mas-/- female mice (KF) in conjunction with significantly smaller BW (body weight), TL (tibia length), cardiomyocyte nuclei of left ventricle, ANP and NPRA receptor expression reflecting a significantly enlarged HW (heart weight), LV (left ventricle weight), HW/BW (heart weight-to-body weight) ratio, LV/BW (left ventricle-to-body weight) ratio, LV/TL (left ventricle-to-tibia length) ratio, cardiomyocyte diameter of left ventricle, interleukin-1 (alpha, beta, and IL1R1), and BNP expression levels compared to normal females (WF). Correspondingly, enlarged left ventricular hypertrophy in ovariectomized female mice (WFO) was illustrated from significantly higher BW (body weight), HW (heart weight), LV (left ventricle weight), TL (tibia length), cardiomyocyte diameter of left ventricle, interleukin-1 (alpha, beta, and IL1R1), and BNP expressions as well as a fewer cardiomyocyte nuclei of left ventricle, and significantly low expression of ANP, and NPRA levels compared to controls (WF). Ang-(1-7)-/- female mice following ovariectomy (KFO) resulted in significantly higher BW (body weight), TL (tibia length), cardiomyocyte nuclei of left ventricle, natriuretic peptides (BNP, ANP, and NPRA) expression with a significantly diminished HW (heart weight, mg), LV (left ventricle weight), LV/BW (left ventricle-to-body weight) ratio, LV/TL (left ventricle-to-tibia length) ratio, cardiomyocyte diameter of left ventricle, and significantly enlarged interleukin-1 (alpha, beta, and IL1R1) expression in left ventricle compared to Ang-(1-7)-/- females (KF). There was significant reduction in BW (body weight, gm), TL (tibia length, mm), and levels of BNP Ang-(1-7)-/- male (KM) as well as significantly enlarged HW (heart weight, mg), LV (left ventricle weight), LV/BW (left ventricle-to-body weight) ratio, LV/TL (left ventricle-to-tibia length) ratio, cardiomyocyte nuclei of left ventricle, ANP, NPRA, and interleukin-1 (alpha, beta, and IL1R1) expression levels compared to wild type male (WM) indicating left ventricular hyperplasia in Ang-(1-7)-/- male mice (KM) as compared to littermate controls (WM). - 65 - Moreover, wild type female FVB/N mice (WF) showed a significant diminished BW (body weight), TL (tibia length), HW (heart weight), LV (left ventricle weight), cardiomyocyte diameter of left ventricle, cardiomyocyte nuclei of left ventricle, BNP, NPRA, interleukin-1beta and IL1R1 expression in adding together to high ANP and interleukin-1alpha expression levels in comparison with wild type male mice (WM). Confirming our gender based model of cardiac hypertrophy, Ang-(1-7)-/- female mice (KF) had significantly smaller BW (body weight), TL (tibia length), HW (heart weight), cardiomyocyte nuclei of left ventricle, natriuretic peptides (BNP, ANP, and NPRA), interleukin-1beta and IL1R1 expression reflecting a significantly enlarged LV (left ventricle weight), LV/BW (left ventricle-to-body weight) ratio, LV/TL (left ventricle-to-tibia length) ratio, cardiomyocyte diameter of left ventricle, and interleukin-1alpha expression compared to Ang-(1-7)-/- male mice (KM). Consequently, together these findings point toward an individual key cardioprotective function of Ang-(1-7)/Mas and estrogen in restraint pathologic interleukin cytokines expression and augmentation of significant natriuretic peptides as a unique strategy to prevent functional left ventricular myocardium during onset of hypertrophy cascade in adult FVB/N mice.

بے کفن بستیوں میں

بے یقین بستیوں میں

                ناطق کو ادبی سفر کا آغاز کیے تھوڑا ہی عرصہ ہوا جب انہوں نے شاعری کی اس پہلی کتاب سے سب کی توجہ اپنی جانب مبذول کروالی۔یہ ان کا پہلا مجموعہ کلام ہے اس مجموعہ کلام میں انہوں نے کچھ ایسی نظمیں لکھی ہیں جن کو پڑھ کربعض اوقات انسان پر خوف طاری ہوجاتا ہے،ہر نظم میں ایک نادر بات ہے قاری متاثر ہوئے بغیر نہیں رہ سکتا۔ کتاب کی پہلی نظم کا عنوان ’’ریشم بننا کھیل نہیں‘‘اپنے آپ میں ایک بہت گہرائی میں لے جانے والا مطلب رکھتا ہے۔جیسے وہ کہہ رہے ہوں کہ شاعری کرنا آسان نہیں۔ان کی ایک نظم جس کاپہلا مصرع کچھ یوں ہے:

میں بانسوں کے جنگل میں ہوں جن کے نیزے بنتے ہیں

                نیزہ کی تعریف،مین اگر ہم سمجھیں تو بات سیدھی دل کو لگتی ہے یعنی بانسوں کو چھیل کر ہم نیزے بناتے ہیں۔بانسوں کے جنگل کو ناطق نے انسانوں سے تشبیہ دی ہے دنیا انسانوں کا جنگل ہے، جہاں طرح طرح کے لوگ رہتے ہیں۔یہ چاہیں تو بانس سے نیزہ بناڈالیں یا پھر قلم۔ایک اور مصرع جس میں وہ افسوس کرتے ہوئے نظر آتے ہیں جہاں ساری بات کھل کرسامنے آجاتی ہے اور واقعی احساس ہوتا ہے یہ دنیا کالے ناگوں سے بھری پڑی ہے جہاں ان ناگوں میں رہ کر اچھے لوگ اچھائی کا دم بھرنے والے بھی کالے ناگ بنتے جاتے ہیں بہت کم لوگ ہیں جو ان کالے ناگوں سے خود کوبچا پاتے ہیں۔

                ناطق کی نظم کا آخری مصرع بھی یہی ہے کہ’’لیکن جنگل بانسوں کاہے جن کے نیزے بنتے ہیں۔‘‘یہاں صرف ناگ رہتے ہیں اور ان ناگوں سے مصنف کو کوئی امید نہیں کہ وہ ان سے قلم بنائیں گے۔جب ان...

خصائص الاسلام فی تامین الامن والسلام

This article focuses onthose special attributes of Islām, which distinguishes it from other religions with respect to peacekeeping, i. E., the rules and ethics, which inculcate peace and tranquility in the soul and mind of an individual and society. Islām is the pioneer of all the religions that emphasize upkeeping of peaceful relations between their followers and others without any discrimination. The connotations of the word Islām and the implications of its various synonyms, its ethical teachings, rules and laws_ all convey the message of peace. Therefore, a true believer is supposed to be the one, who is endowed with peace. To sustain harmony in the society, Islām prohibits mischief, tribulations, aggression and violation of human rights, such as freedom of religion and life. Likewise, Islām prohibits undue offences against any religion, defiling religious beliefs and the holy books, derogatory remarks against any sacred and reverend personage, and extortion, theft, robbery, usury, etc. The second discourse of this article deals with the Islamic salutations. The objectives of Sharī‘ah, in this regard, are to promote good will, alleviate alienation of addressees, invite non-believers to Islām and augment peaceful relations and coexistence with others. The last section of this discourse deals with the injunctions, related to the rules and ethics of warfare as instructed by Islām.

Fostering Academic Resilience of Students at Risk of Failure at Secondary School Level

This study aimed at fostering academic resilience among non-resilient at-risk students through implementing an intervention program developed for this purpose. The internal and external protective factors influencing academic resilience were identified through literature. The independent variable of the study was the protective mechanism manipulated through an activity based resilience fostering module comprised of protective factors-creativity, internal locus of control, self-concept, self-esteem, self-efficacy, autonomy, sense of purpose in life, optimism, a good sense of humor, teacher student relationship. The academic resilience of the student was the dependent variable. The experimental design was used for the study. At risk of failure students were identified on the basis of specific macro and micro risk indicators like low socio economic status, academic issues, homelessness, health issues and negative life events, while the resilience of the students was measured on Resilience Assessment Scale (RAS). The researcher adapted Resiliency Attitude and Skill Profile (RASP) by Hurtes and Conor-Davidson Resilience Scale to develop a scale titled as Resilience Assessment Scale (RAS) to measure the overall resilience of at risk students. It was found that out of 255 students of the selected public secondary school, 45% were at risk. Moreover, it was found that majority of the students were at risk due to their academic issues followed by those having health issues and having some negative life events in their lives. Out of 115 at risk students, 51 students were identified as resilient, while 64 students were non-resilient. These sixty four non-resilient at-risk students were taken as a sample of the study and were divided randomly into experimental and control groups. The researcher played as a resilience teacher to boost up the resiliency skills of students. The treatment continued for 3- months. After the completion of the experiment, the pre-test and post-test resilience scores were analyzed using simple descriptive statistical techniques such as means and percentages. Hypotheses were tested using t test. The results of the experiment revealed that the intervention was significantly effective in enhancing the students’ academic resilience. The three months intervention training on resilience showed good results. Better results can be gained if the duration of the intervention programme is enhanced. So it is recommended to implement such resiliency training programme for utmost time period in order to develop the resilience of low profiled students such as non-resilient at-risk students.
