Myocardial infarction (MI) was induced in rabbits by isoproterenol (85 mg/Kg body wt.). Five indigenous plants Allium sativum, Allium cepa, Zingiber officinale, Terminalia arjuna and Moringa oleifera were selected to prepare 64 possible combinations. Native as well as gemmomodified plant extracts of selected parts of Allium sativum, Allium cepa, Zingiber officinale, Terminalia arjuna and Moringa oleifera were prepared and combined to make treatment combinations against isoproterenol induced MI. Both the preventive & curative ways of treatment were employed on different treatment groups prepared by placing 140 healthy rabbits in specific groups. The effects of different plant combinations were assessed through the serum level of biochemical markers at calculated time intervals. Plant combinations decreased the isoproterenol induced rise in biomarkers as CK-MB, LDH, ALT, AST, ALP, total cholesterol, triglycerides, glucose, urea and uric acid to the level of these parameters in C1 and C2 control groups as compared to C3 (isoproterenol group). Sharp decrease in the level of enzymes/parameters was observed in class III (GP: combination of gemmo extracts used in preventive way) followed by class I (GC: combination of gemmomodified extracts used in curative way). Out of 64 combinations of five plants, 16GP (gemmomodified combination of Allium sativum, Allium cepa, Zingiber officinale, Terminalia arjuna and Moringa oleifera used in preventive mode) gave the excellent cardioprotective potential followed by 16GC (gemmomodified combination of Allium sativum, Allium cepa, Zingiber officinale, Terminalia arjuna and Moringa oleifera used in curative mode) throughout the study. Findings were further strengthened by gross and histopathological studies. Isoproterenol also affected the organs other than heart as liver, kidney and lungs. There was no genotoxicity imposed by any of the combinations as biomonitored by Comet Assay. GC-MS analysis revealed the presence of 4-(4-hydroxy-3methoxyphenyl)-2-butanone, n- Hexadecanoic acid and oleic acid as actively curing constituents with antioxidant and cardioprotective potential in 16G. The 16G (gemmomodified combination of Allium sativum, Allium cepa, Zingiber officinale, Terminalia arjuna and Moringa oleifera) was further applied on human volunteers suffering from chronic tachycardia and hypertension. There was a significant decrease in pulse rate and blood pressure in the patients who were treated with 16G in combination with inderal (inderal+16G) as compared to patients who were treated with inderal and 16G separately.

تلوار سے بر تر میرا قلم

تلوار سے برتر میر اقلم
نحمدہ ونصلی علی رسولہ الکریم امّا بعد فاعوذ بااللہ من الشیطن الرجیم
بسم اللہ الرحمن الرحیم
معزز اساتذہ کرام اور میرے ہم مکتب ساتھیو!آج مجھے جس موضوع پر اظہار خیال کرنے کی دعوت دی گئی ہے وہ ہے:’’تلوار سے برتر میرا قلم‘‘
جنابِ عالی!
تلوار کا اس دنیا مافیہا میں اپنا ایک فنکشن ہے ،تلوار سے میدان جنگ میں مجاہد کاوار دیدنی ہوتا ہے، تلوار کا حامل شخص مقابل کی آنکھ میں کھٹکھتاہے تلوار سے لیس اور اس اسلحہ سے مسلح شخص کی اڑان نرالی ہوتی ہے، تلوار کی واقعی ہی ایک تاریخی حیثیت ہے۔
صدرِ ذی وقار!
تلوارگھر میں ہو، گھر سے باہر ہو، تلوار نیام میں ہویا نیام سے باہر ہو،تلوار ایک ہتھیار ہے ،تلوار ایک اوزار ہے ،تلوار ایک اسلحہ ہے۔ تلوار سے منسوب ہرشخص قوی و توانا گردانا جاتا ہے، اس کی ظاہری طاقت متبیّن ہو جاتی ہے ، ظاہری نقاہت کے باوجود اس کاحامل شخص طاقتورسمجھا جا تا ہے۔
جنابِ صدر!
تلوار کی چمک اپنی جگہ لیکن جو کام قلم کر سکتا ہے و ہ تلوار نہیں کر سکتی، تلوار جسم کو گھائل کرتی ہے،قلم روح کو گھائل کرتا ہے، تلوار کا زخم مندمل ہو جاتا ہے لیکن قلم کازخم تا دیر مند مل نہیں ہوتا، تلوار کی کاٹ عارضی ہوتی ہے قلم کی کاٹ دیر پا ہوتی ہے۔
صدرِ ذی وقار!
قلم سے سخت دل کو نرم کیا جا سکتا ہے، قلم سے بسمل کے زخم پر مرہم رکھا جاسکتا ہے، قلم سے مرغ بسمل کی طرح تڑپتے ہوئے شخص کی مسیحائی کی جاسکتی ہے ،قلم سے جاہل کو صاحب علم بنایا جاسکتا ہے، قلم سے گنوار کوعلم و دانش کی مسند پر متمکن کیا جاسکتا ہے۔
جنابِ صدر!
قلم صحافی کے ہاتھ میں ہو تو معاشرے کے حسن میں...

دراسة مقارنة في تعيين الزمان والمكان والأعلام عند شراح البخاري (الكرماني وابن حجر نموذجاً)

Sahih al-Bukhari by Imam Abu Abdullah Mohammad al-Bukhari comes second to the Holy Quran as a fundamental source of Islam. It is a most authentic collection of sayings and deeds of Prophet Mohammad (PBUH), which covers almost all aspects of life in providing proper guidance from the Messenger of Allah. The Muslim scholars of past and present time gave great importance to this book by making their efforts to extract the hidden treasures from this book and to present the different approaches and benefits of this book. “Al Kawakib Ad Durari” by Imam Alkirmani is an old explanation of Sahih Bukhari. During studying “Fath al Bari” I found that Alhafiz Ibne Hajar has consulted “Al Kawakib Ad Durari” and quoted Imam Alkirmani’s commentary and added it. Alhafiz Ibn e Hajar differs at many times with the opinions of Imam Alkirmani about specific time, place, different tribes and personalities mentioned in the text of traditions. I wanted to study such analysis to check the right opinion after comparing statements of both Imams and by consulting with the statements of other scholars of this field. This article approves that judgments of Ibn e Hajar about specific time, place, different tribes and personalities are more authentic than opinions of imam Alkirmani.

Potential of Mesenchymal Stem Cell Enriched Adipose Tissue Grafting for Contour Deformities of Face

Soft tissue augmentation is required for contour deformities of the face. These contour irregularities of face frequently occur as a result of congenital disorders, acquired diseases, and traumatic and developmental deformities. Allogenic fillers such as Hyaluronic acid (HA) and autologous tissues such as dermal grafts, dermo-fat grafts and fascial grafts are suitable options to treat these deformities. Similarly, reconstructive surgery using pedicled or free flaps is the key reparative option for filling of large contour defects. All these autologous options, however, produce considerable donor site morbidity and there are certain limitations of using these options, including difficulty in fine contouring, graft resorption, and infection. Human fat tissue, being an autologous tissue source, has gained scientific attraction due to advantages such as abundant supply, availability in most patients, no immunogenicity and risk of infectious diseases. Although adipose tissue grafting is a well-known technique to correct contour irregularities, the lack of longevity and consistency of fat grafts remains a major problem in this field. In order to solve this problem of re-absorption of transplanted fat, other methods may help. The current study has used one such method to overcome the issues of re-absorption of transplanted fat. Human adipose tissue is a rich source of regenerative cells including adipose tissue derived stroma (stem cells) (ASCs). Recent animal studies have supported the role of ASCs as regenerative cells. ASCs have similar characteristics as mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) isolated from other sources such as bone marrow, cord blood and cord tissue. The high number of ASCs in adipose tissue (as compared to bone marrow), significantly high proliferative potential and ability to differentiate into tissues of multiple lineages make these cells superlative candidates for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine applications. 2 Stromal vascular fraction (SVF) of adipose tissue that contains low number of ASCs can easily be expanded in vitro to increase ASC number and to get a pure population of ASCs. In the current study, patients with contour deformities of face requiring soft tissue augmentation were enrolled consecutively. Patients giving consent for traditional fat grafting underwent fat harvest, preparation and transfer on the same day (Conventional group). Patients giving consent for ASCs enriched fat transfer underwent fat harvest two times (Stem cell group). Adipose tissue was harvested with syringe aspiration in both groups and processed with gravity and filtration. In stem cell group, samples harvested on day one were used to isolate and expand ASCs. ASCs were isolated and culture-expanded using good manufacturing practice (GMP) grade reagents in a certified laboratory approved by the Institutional Review Board. After 2 weeks, the patients in Stem cell group again underwent fat harvest. This time prepared fat was enriched with ex vivo expanded ASCs and was transferred to recipient site. Prepared fat was injected throughout layers of tissue, till visual clinical symmetry with the opposite side was achieved. Number of fat grafting sessions and volume injected were noted. Both subjective and objective assessments were performed and complications were also noted. The mean (SD) age of patients was 25(9) years with 26(70%) females. Most common indication for fat grafting was Idiopathic Hemi-facial Atrophy in 19(51%) patients followed by congenital craniofacial microsomia in 9(24%), post traumatic deformity in 7(19%) and post infective deformity in 2(5%) patients respectively. Fat was harvested from the abdomen in 25(68%) and lateral thighs in 12(32%) patients. 3 Mean (SD) soft tissue thickness 72 hours and 6 months after first fat graft session in conventional group were 18.63(7.8) and 12.88(6.21) mm respectively whereas mean (SD) soft tissue thickness 72 hours and 6 months after the fat graft session in stem cell group were 23.62 (8.47) and 22.61(8.63) respectively. Mean (SD) percentage reduction in soft tissue thickness in conventional group and stem cell group, 6 months after the first graft session, was 30.77(13) and 5.03(3.39) respectively. Patient assessment scores were 2.52(0.521) in conventional group and 4.25(0.68) in stem cell group respectively. In patients undergoing ex-vivo expanded ASCs enriched fat graft, there was minimal decrease in soft tissue thickness of treated area six months post operatively and patients were highly satisfied with the outcome with the single session of the ex vivo expanded ASCs enriched fat graft. In conclusion fat grafting is safe and effective technique for correction of facial contour deformities. However the procedure needs to be repeated multiple times due to significant re-absorption. Beneficial effects of the use of ex-vivo expanded ASCs enriched fat grafting in terms of improving clinical outcome, has a potential to alter the current treatment paradigm of fat grafting for soft tissue reconstruction. In addition this technique will open new avenue for reducing the overall cost of procedure by reducing the number of sessions.
