In this dissertation, Monotheca buxifolia and Bosea amherstiana were assessed for isolation and structural elucidation of their compounds. The phytochemical investigations of Monotheca buxifolia includes lauric acid (1), oleanolic acid (2) and bis (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (3) while Bosea amherstiana incudes quercetin (4), gallic acid (5) and cinnamic acid (6). The pharmacological and biological activities of crude extract, different fractions thereof, and some compounds isolated in reasonable quantity from Monotheca buxifolia and Bosea amherstiana were investigated. The plants exhibited moisture, fat, fiber, nitrogen, and protein contents. Biological investigation shows significant antibacterial and phytotoxic activity exhibited by the secondary metabolites of Monotheca buxifolia and Bosea amherstiana against L. minor plants and cytotoxicity activity in brine shrimps. Moreover, Monotheca buxifolia and Bosea amherstiana showed moderate inhibition against urease and carbonic anhydrase. The potency of Monotheca buxifolia and Bosea amherstiana for inhibiting the growth of laryngeal cancer cells was determined by MTT assay at concentrations of 200 μg/ml and 150 μg/ml. The IC50 values of Monotheca buxifolia ranged from 80.6214 ± 1.89 μg/ml to 244.506 ± 2.43 μg/ml, while the IC50 values of Bosea amherstiana ranged from 108.564 ± 1.28 μg/ml to 206.053 ± 1.54 μg/ml. A comet assay was performed for the determination of DNA damage and the protective activity of the plant extracts against H2O2-induced human lymphocytes. The maximum protective effect of lymphocyte pretreatment was observed with the dichloromethane fraction of Monotheca buxifolia, which was 5.21 ± 0.030% tail DNA, while the Olive tail moment was 0.61 ± 0.03 compared with the rest of the treated Monotheca buxifolia samples. In Bosea amherstiana, the methanolic fraction had more protective effects against H2O2-induced lymphocytes, with 6.36 ± 2.23% tail DNA and an Olive tail moment of 0.84 ± 0.40. Antioxidant enzymes of lymphocytes were assessed. MB has an effective role in decreasing lipid peroxidase (TBAR) enzymes. The methanol, dichloromethane, and ethyl acetate fractions of MB were more effective (2.3, 2.4, and 2.7, respectively), while the aqueous fraction of MB increased the LPO slightly to 8.1. Both MB and MA had slight effects on the catalase (CAT) enzymes. The dichloromethane fraction of Bosea amherstiana increased the CAT enzymes slightly, while the aqueous fraction of Monotheca buxifolia lowered the concentration of CAT enzymes compared with the control. The dichloromethane fraction of MB slightly increased the peroxidase (POD) enzymes’ value to 31.2, while the aqueous extract of MB lowered the POD enzymes to 20.51. MB had no effect on decreasing or increasing superoxide dismutase (SOD), while BA contributed to lowering the SOD values. In terms of acute toxicity in vivo, both plants were found to be safe at all the test doses (500, 1,000, 1,500, and 2,000 mg/kg. Monotheca buxifolia and Bosea amherstiana (50, 100, and 150 mg/kg) dose dependently reduced abdominal constrictions in mice. Both plants exhibited significant (p < 0.0001) sedative effects at doses of 50, 150, and 150 mg/kg; however, they should be considered mild to moderate sedatives, as the sedation induced was for the less standard drug diazepam. Both plants markedly (p < 0.0001) reduced yeast-induced hyperthermia. CCl4 treatment considerably increased (p < 0.01) the activity of liver serum marker enzymes, such as liver LDH, serum LDH, ALP, AST, and ALT compared with the control group. The protective effect of Monotheca buxifolia was assessed by measuring the serum markers, assays of antioxidant enzymes, genotoxicity, and DNA damage. Monotheca buxifolia inverted the activities of the serum marker enzymes, and the cholesterol profile was damaged by CCl4 treatments. Activities of antioxidant enzymes of the liver tissue homogenates were assessed; CAT, SOD, and peroxidase (POD) were reduced with CCl4 administration, and they were retained with Monotheca buxifolia. The administration of Monotheca buxifolia and Bosea amherstiana reduced hepatic damage, with fewer or no fatty changes, expansion of blood vessels, or constant morphology of the hepatocytes in the control group. The isolated compounds of lauric acid, oleanolic acid, and bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate inhibited the growth of laryngeal cancer cells, as determined by MTT assay. The IC50 value for lauric acid was 56.4584 ± 1.20 μg/ml, that for oleanolic acid was 31.9421 ± 1.03 μg/ml, and that for bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate was 83.8019 ± 2.18 μg/ml. After 24 h of treatment, 29.5% of Hep G2 cells treated with lauric acid, 52.1% of those treated with oleanolic acid, and 22.4% of those treated with bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate were apoptotic.

جھوٹ دی سزا

جھوٹ دی سزا

اک دفعہ دا ذکر اے کہ کسے پنڈ وچ اک چغل خور رہندا سی۔ پنڈ والے اوس دی ایس عادت توں تنگ سن۔ چغلی کرنا اوہدی عادت بن گئی سی تے ایس وجہ توں اوہدی بہت سارے لوکاں نال لڑائی وی ہوئی اوہ روٹی پانی تے چھڈ سکدا سی پر چغلی چھڈنا اوہدے لئی بہت اوکھا سی۔ لوک اوہدیاں گلاں اتے یقین نئیں سن کردے پر فیر وی اوہ اپنی چرب زبانی نال لوکاں نوں اپنے پچھے لاہ لیندا تے لوکاں وچکار لڑائی کروا دیندا۔ اک دن اوس جھوٹ بول کے دو بھراواں دی لڑائی کروا دتی تے مڑ اصلیت سامنے آون تے سارے پنڈ نے رَل کے اوس نوں کٹیا تے پنڈوں کڈھ دتا۔

ہن اوہ رہن لئی دوجے پنڈ اپڑیا تے رہن لئی کرائے دا مکان لیا۔ کیوں جے ایس پنڈ والے اوس دی عادت توں واقف نئیں سی ایس لئی اوس نے فیصلہ کیتا کہ اوہ ہن کسے دی چغلی نئیں کرے گا تے شریف بن کے رہے گا۔ روٹی کماون لئی اوس نے کئی لوکاں نال نوکری کرن دی گل کیتی۔ اوس نوں پتہ لگا کہ وڈے زمیندار نوں نوکر دی لوڑ اے۔ اوہ نوکری لئی اوہدے کول گیا تے نوکری دی منگ کیتی۔ کیوں جے زمیندار نوں نوکر دی لوڑ سی ایس لئی اوس اوہدے کول پچھیا کہ دس کنی تنخواہ لویں گا۔ اوس جواب دتا کہ روٹی، کپڑا تے چھ مہینیاں بعد اک چغلی تے اک جھوٹ۔

زمیندار نوں اک چغلی تے اک جھوٹ دی سمجھ نہ آئی پر فیر وی اوس نے اوہنوں نوکری دے دتی۔ سارے کم اوس نوں سمجھا دتے۔ ہن چغل خور روز کھیتاں ول جاندا۔ اپنا کم بہت محنت کردا تے شام نوں گھر آ کے گھر دے کم وی کردا۔ زمیندار اوس دے...

سودی نظام کے بعض اہم شبہات اور ان کا رد

This article is an attempt to judge various dubious concepts regarding usury (Riba) in order to legalize it in one way or another using some artful arguments inculcating into the minds as lawful sketch of usury providing its justifications and legality. Different dimensions have been explained analytically in the light of Islamic view point curtailing the misfit approaches after some essential discourse concerning Islamic injunctions about Usury. Some reasons and evidences have also been discussed against each doubt and suspicion denouncing what has been claimed unlawfully due to the role and impact of interest based economy about financial contract and Riba free economy, its various conditions regarding bank, currency, quantity, expediency, mutual willingness as well as applicable framework and paradigm

Thyroid and Lipoprotein Profile of Adult Residents of District Rahim Yar Khan, Pakistan

In Pakistan, thyroid disorders are the most common endocrine disorders which may lead to abnormal lipid profile. This study is an attempt to establish a more realistic reference range for thyroid related hormones (TSH, T4 & T3) and lipid profile of normal and diseased Rahim Yar Khan residents. This study has further explored correlation if any, among studied parameters of different experimental groups like metabolic syndrome patients (diabetic, hypertensive and hypotensive individuals), symptomatic thyroid patients and post-menopausal females. A total of 164 subjects were selected, comprising of experimental group (n = 106) and control group (n = 58) on the basis of questionnaire information. The control group included males (n = 34) and females (n = 24). The experimental group consisted of diabetic male (n = 11), diabetic female (n = 11), hypertensive individuals (Male = 10, Female = 10), hypotensive subjects (Male = 10, Female = 10), symptomatic thyroid patients (Male = 10, Female = 10) and post-menopausal women (n = 24). All serum samples were analyzed for thyroid hormones levels (TSH, T4, T3), total protein and lipid profile. For TSH estimation, solid phase ELISA was used while T3 and T4 were estimated using competitive ELISA technique. Total protein was assessed by biuret method. Lipid profile parameters were quantified by CHOD-PAP method. The statistical tools, SPSS 23 and Minitab, were used to assess precision of measurements (standard deviation), and to calculate, mean, range, Pearson bivariate correlation and level of significance. The TSH level of diabetic, hypertensive and symptomatic thyroiditis patients exhibited significant up-regulation in comparison to normal controls. However, T4 of diabetic and symptomatic thyroiditis patients was down-regulated. While the members of hypotensive group demonstrated T4 up-regulation. The T3 level was down-regulated in all groups of both genders except hypotensive individuals which were found to have T3 level similar to normal controls. Total cholesterol and LDL was up-regulated excluding hypotensive group but LDL level depicted down-regulation in hypotensive males only. The HDL parameter exhibited up-regulation in diabetic, hypertensive and symptomatic thyroiditis males but observed to be down-regulated in hypotensive group. However, HDL level did not varied in any category of female subjects. Total protein level was down-regulated in all study individuals except members of diabetic group and symptomatic thyroiditis males. Analysis of diabetics has revealed an association of T3 with non- HDL parameters. While the symptomatic thyroiditis patients displayed strong positive correlation of TSH and non-HDL parameters. Hypertensive males and hypotensive females had strong positive correlation of total protein with non-HDL parameters. However, post-menopausal women have medium positive correlation of TSH with HDL and strong positive correlation of T3 with HDL. The profile of normal individuals correlated well with the international standards. However, most of the diseased subjects (diabetic, hypertensive, hypotensive and symptomatic thyroiditis Patients) exhibited hypothyroidism and post-menopausal females satisfied criteria of hyperthyroidism. There is need to further extend study on large scale to establish reliable association of studied metabolic syndromes, thyroid disorders and post-menopausal status with abnormal lipid and thyroid hormones profile.
