The crude methanolic extract of Thymus linearis and its fractions were analyzed for their antibacterial and antifungal activities. They exhibited significant antibacterial activity against MDR bacterial strains. The maximum effect was shown by butanolic fraction against S.aureus, K. pneumoniae and Providencia species. The crude methanolic extract and other fractions exhibited low to moderate antibacterial activity. Similarly crude methanolic extract and its various fractions were analyzed for antifungal activity. The crude extract showed good activity against Rhizopus (14mm), Penicillium chrysogenum (10mm) and Aspergillus fumigates (10mm) respectively, while chloroform fraction showed no effect against Rhizopus. The n-hexane fraction showed low to moderate activity against Penicillium chrysogenum. The crude methanolic extract and its various fractions were analyzed for their phytotoxic effect. The phytotoxicity of butanolic fraction was significant, while moderate activity shown by crude methanolic extract, ethyl acetate and chloroform fractions of T. linearis. In in-vitro contact bioassay the n-hexane and butanolic fraction exhibited significant activity resulting 60% mortality of T. casteneum while methanolic fraction exhibited about 40% and 30% mortality of T. casteneum and C.analis respectively. The anthelmintic effect of crude methanolic extract and its solvent fractions showed significant results. The n-hexane and ethyl acetate fraction showed more significant anthelmintic activity, while methanol, chloroform and butanol fractions showed mild to moderate activity against Pheretima posthumas. The crude methanolic extract and its various fractions exhibited a concentration dependent antioxidant effect. The crude extract possessed similar antioxidant effect to that of ascorbic acid, while the antioxidant potential of n-hexane, butanol and chloroform were comparable to that of Butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT). The ethyl acetate fraction showed lowest antioxidant activity. In in-vivo biological activities the crude methanolic extract and its various fractions were being very safe in acute toxicity assay. In analgesic activity the Thymus linearis methanolic extract (TLME) exhibited a dose dependent antinociceptive effect in both peripheral and central analgesic models. Similarly antipyretic effect of TLME was increased as the dose increased from 100 to 300mg/kg. The TLME showed significant antipyretic effect from 2nd hr up to 4th hr of experiment. The TLME, at the dose of 300mg/kg exhibited significant anti-inflammatory response 2hr after the carrageenan injection and sustained throughout the experiment. In nephro and hepato protective activity, the crude methanolic extract and its various fractions showed significant results, and n-butanol, chloroform and crude extract were more nephro and hepato protective while ethyl acetate fraction showed mild nephro and hepato protective activity. The Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) was done of crude methanolic extract and its various solvent fractions which suggested the presence of different new compounds like amides, aldehydes, carboxylic acid, ethers, alcohols and ketones etc, majority of which are not reported formally. Fixed oils were obtained from n-hexane sub-fraction and GC/MS of fixed oils showed presence of important fatty oils which are biologically active. The ethyl acetate and chloroform fraction were subjected to column chromatography (CC) which resulted into the isolation of six pure compounds. The structure elucidation of pure compounds was done using 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, COSY, NOSY, HMQC, HMBC, UV, IR, EI-MS and HREI-MS. All the compounds were isolated from T. linearis for the first time but they were reported from other sources as well. These compounds were β-Sitosterol, Ursolic acid, 3, 4, 5- Trihydroxybenzoic acid, Oleanolic acid, Benzoic acid and Betulinic acid. The in-vivo and in-vitro biological activities were corresponding with these isolated pure compounds. The antipyretic, antinociceptive and anti-inflammatory activity of β- sitosterol, ursolic acid and oleanolic acid has already been recorded. The antioxidant and antitumor activity of ursolic acid and betulinic acid has also been reported as well. This research activity significantly supported ethnobotanical uses of T. linearis whole plant as a traditional medicine for treatment. In spite of all this further thorough research work on the crude methanolic extract and its various fractions for isolation of secondary metabolites is required. Furthermore research activities on isolated compounds may give directions for potential therapeutic agent for management of different disease.

اسلام دہشت گردی نہیں امن چاہتا ہے

اسلام دہشت گردی نہیں امن چاہتا ہے
نحمدہ ونصلی علی رسولہ الکریم امّا بعد فاعوذ بااللہ من الشیطن الرجیم
بسم اللہ الرحمن الرحیم
صدرِذی وقار ،معزز اسا تذہ کرام اور میرے ہم مکتب ساتھیو!
آج مجھے جس موضوع پر لب کشائی کا موقع فراہم کیا گیا ہے وہ ہے:’’اسلام دہشت گردی نہیں امن چاہتا ہے ‘‘
جنابِ صدر!
دہشت گردی ایک ایسا ناسور ہے جس نے معاشرے کے حسن کو ختم کر دیا ہے، ایک ایسا عفریت ہے جس کے خوفناک مجسمے نے امن و سکون کو خاک میں ملا دیا ہے۔ دہشت گردی ایک ایسی ظلمت ہے جس سے نور وضیا دور ہوتے چلے جاتے ہیں۔
جنابِ صدر!
دہشت گردی گھر میں ہو، گھر سے باہر ہو، محلہ میں ہو کوچوں میں ہو ،تعلیمی اداروں میں ہو، درسگاہوں میں ہو، دہشت گردی جہاں کہیں بھی ہواپنے منحوس سایوں کے باعث زندگی اجیرن کر کے رکھ دیتی ہے۔
جنابِ صدر!
دہشت گردی کی فضاء میں پروان چڑھنے والا پودا کبھی تناور درخت نہیں بن سکتا۔ دہشت گردی کے ماحول میں بڑھنے والا پھول کبھی گر دونواح کو معطر نہیں کرسکتا۔دہشت گردی کی فضاء میں سانس لے کر پروان چڑھنے والا مرد حر کا لباس زیب تن نہیں کر سکتا۔
معزز سامعین!
برائی جو بھی ہو اس کو ختم کرنا اس کو جڑ سے اکھیڑنا، اس کو صفحہ ہستی سے مٹانا، اس کو نیست و نابود کرنا انتہائی ناگزیر ہو جا تا ہے اس کے لیے سر توڑ کوشش کی جاتی ہے، جہد مسلسل سے کام لیا جاتا ہے، شب وروز کاوش کی جاتی ہے۔
جنابِ صدر!
پیہم محنت سے اس کے تن ناقص پہ کاری ضرب لگائی جاسکتی ہے۔ اس کے وجود بد سے بچاؤکی صورت اختیار کی جاسکتی ہے۔ دہشت گردی جیسی لعنت سے چھٹکارا ایک مرد مجاہد کے لیے...

Correlation between Onset of Renal Disease with Diabetes onset of renal disease in diabetics

Diabetes is associated with number of vascular and nonvascular complications, and the vascular complications which include Cardiovascular Disease (CVD), peripheral vascular disease (PVD), stroke, retinopathy, neuropathy, and Diabetic Kidney Diseases (DKD are responsible for most of the morbidity and mortality attributable to diabetes. Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the correlation of onset of any renal disease with diabetes in Pakistani population. Methods: A cross sectional study was conducted at Medicine and Nephrology Departments of the Sir Ganga Ram Hospital, Lahore, over a period of 3 months, after obtaining the ethical approval from the The University of Lahore. A total number of 100 Diabetic patients were selected through non probability convenient sampling technique. Patients of both sexes and all age groups were included. Results: In this study 60% were male and 40% were female. Most of the patients belonged to lower socioeconomic status. Frequency of onset of diabetes with age showed that patients between age of 41-50 years (33%) were more susceptible to diabetes and its complications whereas onset of diabetes was relatively higher in males as compared to females. Frequency distribution of CVD among diabetic patients was 19%. Conclusions: Results of current findings showed that diabetes mellitus also leads toward further microvascular complications and co-exist with different diseases. 

Variance Estimation in Sampling Theory Using Multi-Auxiliary Variables

This dissertation is one of the steps towards the area of estimation of population variance using multi-auxiliary variables under multi-phase sampling scheme. This work mainly considers full, incomplete and no information cases about the auxiliary variables. The importance of estimation of finite population variance under multi-phase sampling along with some previously proposed estimators are discussed in Chapter 1. In Chapters 2 and 3, some ratio-type and regression-type variance estimators for estimation of population variance using multi-auxiliary variables for single interest variable are proposed. To the solution of multi-purpose surveys, few generalized multi-variate ratio-type and regression-type variance estimators are discussed in Chapters 4 and 5 respectively. Chapters 6 and 7 highlight the solution to the problem when multi-attributes is to be dealt for the estimation of population variance under multi-phase sampling. The measurement error in variable of interest is taken into account in Chapters 8 and 9 for the same estimators proposed in Chapters 2 and 3. The expressions for minimum mean square error for all proposed estimators are also derived. Some real data sets are used for efficiency comparison.
