Inducible cyclo-oxygenase (COX) expression in the brain is associated with acute neurotoxicity, such as seizures and ischemia. On the other hand COX 1 and 2 both are related to delayed pro-inflammatory activities, which are ought to exacerbate the neuronal damage in neurodegenerative diseases. It was postulated in last decade that non steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) which are widely used in clinical situation as anti-inflammatory, analgesics and antipyretic drugs by inhibiting COX pathway in brain can prevent neurodegeneration. However it is still unknown whether NSAIDs have effect on the development on the central nervous system and play a major role to prevent and treat neurodegenerative disease. Previous clinical, epidemiological and experimental data revealed that repeated and long term use of NSAIDs prevent neurodegeneration by inhibiting brain COX isoenzymes and recommended as a new emerging approach. In the present study we aimed to evaluate the effect of diclofenac, ibuprofen and celecoxib on behavioral and biochemical parameters as well as disease severity assessment not only in parkinson’s patients but on chlorpromazine induced parkinson rat model. A single blind clinical study was conducted in four groups of 40 parkinson’s patients. The cognition was measured by MMSE and MoCA test, depression assessed by HDRS test, daily living functioning judged with ADCS-ADL scale and disease severity by Hoehn & Yahr staging and descriptive UPDRS scale. The outcomes were better among patients treated with NSAIDs than control patients. NSAIDs treated patients showed significant improvement in MMSE, MoCA and ADCS-ADL scores after 2 month treatment period from baseline score. However insignificant results were also observed after 2 month treatment with respect to depression and disease severity. The most frequent adverse events during 2 month treatment period were nausea, dyspepsia, elevated hepatic enzymes, and hypertension. NSAIDs showed significant increased SGOT, SGPT, and bilirubin levels but no significant change in GGT and alkaline phosphatase after 2 month treatment was noted. NSAIDs showed significant increased levels of urea and creatinin after 2 month. We found elevated Cortisol levels at baseline in all parkinson patients after taking NSAID we observed slightly reduced levels of cortisol from baseline as compare to control patients but results were insignificant. Behavioral and histopathological examination of NSAIDs treated rats after chlorpromazine induced parkinsonism was observed. NSAIDs were administered after 30 minutes of 3mg/kg ip injection of chlorpromazine up to 21 day. After 21 day we observed significant motor impairment in CPZ treated rat in open field, catalepsy and wire hanging test while NSAIDs treated rat showed significant improvement comparable to standard L-dopa/carbidopa group. NSAIDs treated rats showed significant improved cognitive behaviors in radial arm maze, water maze and passive avoidance test as compare to control and CPZ group. Depression was marked with CPZ group on forced swimming induced test and cage crossing test while NSAIDs treatment improved depression after 21 days. NSAIDs treated rats slightly reduced their weight after 21 days as compare to control and CPZ group while CPZ group significantly increased body weight. Anxiety was assessed by using elevated plus maze. NSAIDs showed anxiety like behavior after 21 day treatment but CPZ treated rats showed anxiolytic effect. Histopathological examination of brain tissue of NSAIDs treated group revealed minimal neuronal destruction and gliosis as compare to CPZ group. In conclusion results of this clinical and experimental study explain that NSAIDs treatment show moderate improvement in parkinson associated cognitive decline, motor impairment and in their daily life function. Adverse drug events were also observed, hence prolong use can only be recommended after extensive study.

حاصل تحقیق

زبان اللہ تعالیٰ کی عطا کردہ نعمتوں میں سب سے بڑی اور عظیم نعمت ہے۔ اس پر سنجیدگی سے غورکرنے کا سلسلہ روزِ اول سے ہی جاری ہے۔ قبل مسیح کےمفکروں اور دانش وروں نے بھی اس پر بہت غور وخوض کیا اور اس کے متعلق مختلف نظریات قائم کیے، اس سلسلے میں مختلف کتب موجود ہیں جو زبان کے متعلق قبل مسیح کے نظریات سے بھری پڑی ہیں۔

اس کے بعد آنے والے مختلف مفکرین نے اس پر تحقیقی کام جاری رکھا۔ اور زبان کے متعلق اپنے نظریات پیش کرتے رہے۔ ان نظریات سے مختلف ماہرین لسانیات نے لسانیات کےمختلف شعبے تخلیق کیے اور ہر شعبے میں خاطر خواہ کام کیا۔

انیسویں صدی میں لسانیات پر باقاعدہ تحقیقی ادارے بننے شروع ہوئے،مغرب نے اس سلسلے میں بہت کام کیا، لیکن یہ بات عیاں ہے کہ بیسویں صدی میں ادب پر جتنا کام ہوا وہ گزشتہ ایک صدی تک نہ ہو سکا، بلاشبہ اس صدی کو ادب کی صدی کہا جاتا ہے اس میں باقی شعبوں کے ساتھ ساتھ لسانیات جیسے اہم مضمون پر بھی بہت زیادہ خامہ فرسائی کی گئی۔

زبان میں لسانیات کے موضوع کے حوالے سے اگر دیکھا جائے تو یہ مختلف عناوین اور اس کےمسائل ومباحث کو سمیٹے ہوئےہے۔ جہاں اس کا تعلق نطق انسانی سے ہے وہاں زبان کے قواعد اور لغتیات پر بھی بحث کرتی ہے۔ اگر لسانیات کی صرف نطق انسانی کے حوالے سے بات کی جائے تو یہ بات عیاں ہے کہ لسانیات کا کسی مخصوص گروہِ انسانی سے تعلق نہیں بلکہ یہ دنیا کی تمام زبانوں کے مسائل کو زیر بحث لاتی ہے۔ مختلف ماہرین لسانیات نے اس کی تعریف مختلف حوالوں سے کی ہے۔ ان میں چند ایک درج ذیل ہیں:

Comparative Effect Of Tetrapack Juices And Fresh Fruit Juices On Blood Glucose Level Among Healthy Individuals Comparative Effect of Juices on Blood Glucose Level

Uses of tetra pack juices enhances the risk of diabetes and obesity. People were unaware of impact of fresh fruit juices on health. Objective: To compare the effect of tetra pack juices and fresh fruit juices on blood glucoselevels among healthy individuals Methods: 10 participants were selected using an internationalstandard Glycemic Index (GI) test protocol. After getting their fasting blood sample theywereinstructed to consume all the juice served in a period of 5 min. Further blood samples were takenat different intervals of time that is 0, 30, 60, 90, 120 and 150 minutes after consumption. Participants wereremained sedentaryduring each session. Blood was obtained by finger-prick and tested by the glucometer. Results: The glycemic index of Apple juice Nestle has the glycemic index of 95.87, Orangejuice Nestle has the GI value 93.78, Apple juice fresh has the GI value of 92.17 and Orangejuice fresh has the glycemic index value of 99.07, respectively Conclusions: Detailed study of glycemic index of tetrapack juices (Nestle Apple and Orangejuice) and fresh fruit juices (Apple and Orange juice) showed similar impact on the blood glucose level of healthy individual. In the study, both types of juices were found to be equally hyperglycemic (GI 70+) causing a fast rise in blood-sugarlevels, hence should not be given to diabetic patients

Evaluation and Management of Fenoxaprop-P-Ethyl Resistance in Phalaris Minor Retz

Widespread herbicide resistance in Phalaris minor Retz., is a major bottleneck towards sustainability of wheat-based cropping system in Pakistan and many other Asian countries. A dose–response assay was conducted for confirmation of resistance in surveyed populations. Optimization of herbicide mixtures to control P. minor in wheat was done under wirehouse conditions. To manage P. minor efficacy of herbicide mixtures in integartion with crop row spacings and allelopathic crop mulches were investigated at the Agronomic Research Area, Department of Agronomy, University of Agriculture, Faisalabad over two consecutive growing seasons during winter 2014-15 and 2015-16. Most of the collected populations were resistant to fenoxaprop-P-ethyl. Resistance levels were 2.13-6.50. The tested herbicide mixtures both at 75 and 100% of the recommended dose of each mixture component provided effective control of resistant P. minor without any phytotocity on wheat. The herbicide mixtures provided consistent, effective control of P. minor under field conditions especially in 11.25 cm rows compared to in 22.50 cm wheat row spacing. Integrated use of allelopathic crop mulches and herbicide mixtures was effective to control of P. minor in wheat. They consistently enhanced the wheat yield by 23-39% and 24-35% during 2014-15 and 2015-16, respectively. The confirmation of ACCase inhibitor resistance as the first case of herbicide resistance in Pakistan leads us to discourage use of ACCase inhibitor herbicides alone. However, herbicide mixtures both at 75 and 100% of the recommended dose are suggested to manage this weed for sustainable wheat production in the surveyed cropping systems. Integration of herbicide mixtures with narrow row spacing of wheat and allelopathic mulches can help address herbicide-resistant P. minor in wheat fields.
