In the present research work, the phytochemical and biological evaluation of Crude Methanol Extract (CME) and fractions of aerial parts of Berberis lycium Royle (family: Berberidaceae) was conducted. The results of phytochemicals analysis showed the presence of tannins, alkaloids and sterols. The n-hexane fraction presented significant activity against S. aureus (80%) and low activity against B. pumilus (34%), S. typhi (33%), K. pneumoniae (26%), S. pneumoniae (25%) and S. epidermidis (10%). The CHCl3 fraction showed significant results against S. aureus (80%) while low activity was exhibited against S. pneumoniae (32%) and B. pumilus (30%). The EtOAc fraction showed a low activity against B. pumilus (39%), S. typhi (33%), and E. aerogenes (24%). The aqueous fraction of the plant was found to have good and moderate activities. The CME showed low activity against K. pneumoniae (32%). The CME possesses low activity against T. hazrianum (10%), A. niger (10%), A. flavus (10%) and R. stolonifer (6%). The n-hexane, CHCl3, EtOAc and aqueous fraction displayed low activity against the test fungal pathogens. The CME showed 10% and 5% regulation of growth at 1000 and 100 µg/mL, respectively against L. minor. The n- hexane fraction showed 20% growth regulation at 1000 µg/mL, while a growth regulation of 10% was observed at 100 µg/mL. In the same way, CHCl3, EtOAc and aqueous fraction showed low growth regulation at 1000 and 100 µg/mL. No phytotoxic activity was observed at 10 µg/mL in any of the test samples. Significant activity on insects was observed for n-hexane fraction against Tribolium castaneum (80%) while the CHCl3 fraction reported a significant vi antitermite activity. Low cytotoxic effect was observed for aqueous (32.5%) and EtOAc (35%) against Artemia salina. At 1.6 mg/mL, the activities of CME, EtOAc and n-hexane were 54.50, 53.50 and 52.22%, respectively, whereas CHCl3 and aqueous fraction showed 49.70 and 46.49% activity at the same concentration. Different in vivo studies were carried out which revealed that various metabolites of this plant have potentially high analgesic and antidepressant effects. The results showed that CME is safe upto dose of 600 mg/ kg. Charcoal meal test was used to study gastrointestinal (GIT) motility induced by CME. The mean charcoal movement after treatment with CME was 23.41, 19.63, and 11.23, at doses 100,200 and 500mg/ kg body weight. The extract causes relaxation of the small intestine and can be used in the treatment of diarrhea and abdominal spasms. The results were dose-dependent, i.e., the movement was reduced upon increasing the dose. The results of the current study revealed that increase in the dose of the CME enhanced the antidepressant effect, implying that CME possesses antidepressant activity, using Forced Swimming Test (FST) in animals. The CME was tested for locomotor activity and results were recorded. The total lines crossed by mice in the wooden apparatus were 38, 26, and 17 at a dose of 500, 700 and 1000 mg/kg body weight, respectively. Allopathy is a biological action by which one or more biochemical substances are secreted by an organism to effect the growth, existence and reproduction of other species. The germination of T. aestivum seeds was highly inhibited by B. lycium. On the basis of polarity, four compounds were isolated from n-hexane fraction through column chromatography. Four known compounds namely nonacosan–1-ol (2), heptacosan–1-ol, β-sitosterol and oxyberberine were isolated from B. lycium. vii Further the Oxyberberine was subjected to various enzyme inhibitory assays like urease activity, α-Chymotripson, Carbonic anhydrase and Phosphodiestrase-1 activity. Oxyberberine was initiate pointedly energetic (with IC50 values of 140.2±1.21) against urease enzyme inhibition assay while low activity against carbonic anhydrase, phosphodiestrase-I, and α-chymotrypsin. Urease showed active binding and next molecular modelling was performed. It was observed that the Oxyberberine shows significant integration with the active site of the jack bean urease. Different softwares were used like Autodck Vina and i-GEMDOCK v 2.1 for the docking analysis. The method of docking was accustomed with co-crystallized ligand of receptor P-gp. Different softwares such as PyMOL, discovery studio visualizer software and LIGPLOT+ version v.1.4.5 Autodock Vina and i GEMDOCK version 2.1 was used for the docking analysis.

Update on Pakistan Polio Eradication Initiative

The global polio eradication initiative (GPEI) was established in 1988 as a result of the declaration of commitment by the World Health Assembly. In Pakistan, National Emergency Action Plan [NEAP] coined the strategies under government directives to play a pivotal role in line with international requirements to make poliomyelitis extinct. At the program’s initiation, there were around 350,000 cases of polio reported annually. The incidence has fallen by 99% due to the immunization of more than 2.5 billion children worldwide. Poliovirus has three serotypes; two have already been eradicated (the last case of poliovirus type 2 was reported in 1999 and of poliovirus type 3 in 2012). Poliovirus transmission has ceased with the exception of Pakistan and Afghanistan. In April 2022, two cases of acute flaccid paralysis due to poliovirus type 1 have been reported in KPK province. In this communication, insight is provided regarding the issues that have contributed to this wild poliovirus resurgence after a 15-month gap and the way forward.

Climate Change and Health: A Case Study of Pakistan

This thesis analyzes the impact of climate change on health in two cities of Pakistan; i. e. Lahore and Rawalpindi. Lahore is relatively hotter and Rawalpindi is relatively colder. The data have been collected from selected hospitals of both cities. The study focuses on the nexus between GHG emission; rising temperature and health. We investigate what is the contribution of transport sector in GHG emissions and resultantly how the emissions (one of the indicators of temperature change) have caused temperature to rise and then estimate the relationship between temperature and health. In this study the relationship between emissions from the transport sector and Pakistan‟s temperature has been tested empirically. Based on data of carbon dioxide from road transport sector, minimum and maximum emissions of carbon dioxide emissions from road transport sector and their damages in financial terms have been forecasted up till 2030. The data of cardiovascular diseases (indicator of state of health) from different hospitals of Lahore and Rawalpindi have been collected to assess the relationship between health and temperature. The study has found inverse relationship between cardiovascular diseases and temperature for Lahore whereas this relationship has been found to be positive for Rawalpindi. This study also calculated the direct and indirect cost of cardiovascular diseases (CVD). The findings of this study show that direct cost of CVD is much larger then indirect cost. The study also uses the Contingent Valuation method to calculate the willingness to pay for a better traffic system and enhanced health program specifically for cardiovascular diseases in Lahore. The findings indicate that the people of Lahore are more conscious about their health as they are ready to pay more for improved health program as compared to better traffic system.
