To Study the Effect of Salts and Complexes of Palladium and Vanadium Metals on the Status of Thiols in Blood Components ¨ Pharmacological and Toxicological Perspectives
The selected metalloelements i.e. Vanadium and Palladium have a number of potential Pharmaco-clinical advantages. Vanadium decreases the level of glucose and cholesterol, improves the function of hemoglobin and myoglobin and has anti-cancerous and diuretic functions. Similarly, Palladium compounds have antiviral, antibacterial, neuroprotective and antitumor properties. However studies have also indicated some mild to serious toxic effects of these metalloelements. Biothiols are important antioxidant that provides protection against metals toxicity. The interaction of metalloelements with biothiols can provide valuable information about the level of toxicity of the metalloelements and about the protective role of biothiols thereof. In this piece of work the effect of salts and complexes of Vanadium and Palladium on the status of different thiols (GSH, NAC, D-Pen and albumin) in aqueous medium, blood components and liver homogenate . The thiol quantification was carried out using Elman’s method through UV-visible spectrophotometry and 1H- NMR. Results of the study performed in aqueous medium, as shown in chapter 2, showed that level of different thiols depleted after the addition of the inorganic salts and organic complexes of Vanadium and Palladium. Such depletion was further enhanced with increasing concentrations of the metalloelements and with time incubation. We also observed a maximum depletion in the levels of different thiols at pH 7.6 which is near to physiological pH. Similar observations were also made in blood components as mention in chapter 3. We observed a decrease in the level of Glutathione under the effect of the said metalloelements in whole blood as well as in separated plasma and cytosolic fraction. Observations were also made under different concentrations of the metalloelements, time and pH parameters. Results were showing that the effect of these metalloelements on the level of GSH in blood components is high at pH 7.6 and increases with increasing concentrations of the metalloelements and with time elapse. Such depletion in cytosolic fraction, in particular, is indicative of the fact that the anions of both the metals can cross the membrane of the erythrocytes. Effect of metalloelements Vanadium and Palladium on the status of Glutathione in WBCs (Lymphocytes, B-cells, T-cells and Neutrophils) was also investigated as mention in chapter 4. The results showed that the level of Glutathione in the selected types of WBC’s was depleted as a result of interaction with Vanadium and Palladium. This depletion was further aggravated with increasing concentrations of Palladium and Vanadium, time elapse as well as at pH 7.6. The effect these metalloelements on the concentration of Glutathione in liver homogenate, under different parameters was also observed as mention in chapter 5.for this purpose liver homogenate was prepared according to the protocol established by Schiefer. We observed that the metalloelements decreases the level of Glutathione in the liver homogenate sample which was further enhanced with elevated concentrations of the metals, time incubation and was high at pH7.6. The mechanism of interaction of Palladium with thiols was examined using H-NMR as mentioned in chapter 6. The results revealed that five species are produced during the quantification of thiols with Elman’s reagents (ESSE). These species were ES-, ESSE, ESSR, RSSR and RSH. The results further indicate that the depletion in the level of thiols may be due to 1:1 or 1:2 conjugation of Palladium with thiols respectively. The bonding strength of both the elements with albumin and exchange reaction by low molecular weight thiols were also examined as mentioned in chapter 7. The UV- visible spectrophotometric observation was made at wavelength ranging from 240nm to 500nm. A negligible absorbance was observed at 412nm which suggested that there was no exchange reaction between albumin metal complexes and low molecular weight thiols. The finding of the study suggests that the metalloelements Vanadium and Palladium conjugate with different thiols in aqueous medium, blood components and liver homogenate. The chances of such assumed conjugation reactions further increases with time elapse, with increasing concentration of the metalloelements and in suitable conditions of pH 7.6. These conjugation reactions further suggest that the metalloelements Vanadium and Palladium have xenobiotic nature causing oxidative stress and thiols play their role in detoxification and biotransformation of these metalloelements. This study perform in situ can be used as a model of in vivo study.
بہ یادِ سید معین الرحمن (رفیق احمد خان) ڈاکٹر سید معین الرحمن ایک طرح سے میرے خواجہ تاش تھے، مرزا غالب اور رشید احمد صدیقی سے میرا عشق روحانی، جذباتی اور زبانی ہے اور ان کا عشق شخصی، روحانی، فکری، ادبی اور تحقیقی اوصاف کا مرقع، ان کی تن دہی، سخت کوشی، برداشت، نفاستِ طبع اور حسن آرائی و حسن آفرینی اس کی شہادتیں۔ میں اپنے احباب سے ان کی خوش اخلاقی، خوش اطواری، شائستگی اور روایتی وضع داری سے متعلق باتیں سن ہی چکا تھا، ان کی شگفتہ و مرصع اور پرمغز و پراثر نثر دل میں گھر کرچکی تھی اور ان کی سرکشیدگی اور بلند قامتی بھی میرے دل و نظر میں ایک مقام و مرتبہ وضع کرچکی تھی، خط و کتابت کا آغاز ہوا تو میرے خیالات و تصورات کو یک گونہ تقویت حاصل ہوئی، میں اپنے اندر ان کے لیے اپنائیت محسوس کرنے لگا اور یوں نیاز حاصل کرنے کی تمنا جی میں سر اٹھانے لگی۔ اس قلبی لگاؤ کا نتیجہ تھا کہ جب کبھی ان کے خلاف کوئی زہر آلودہ تحریر پڑھی تو طبیعت مکدر ہوگئی اور ان کی قدر و منزلت میں کسی طرح کی بھی کمی محسوس نہیں کی بلکہ اس میں اضافہ ہی محسوس کیا، ’’دیوانِ غالب، نسخۂ خواجہ‘‘ کے حوالے سے خواہ کچھ بھی کہا گیا یا لکھا گیا ہو مگر غالب سے غیر معمولی شیفتگی اور غالب کی طرف داری کا اس سے اچھا اور بڑا عملی ثبوت ادبی دنیا میں کم دیکھنے میں آئے گا، اس سے ہٹ کر دیکھیے تو پیش کش میں حسن اور سلیقے کا حسین امتزاج بھی کیا لائق تحسین نہیں، میر تقیؔ میر کا یہ مصرع صادق آتا ہے: ع کس خوش سلیقگی سے جگر خوں کروں ہوں میں ۲۰۰۳ء میں انجمن ترقی اردو، پاکستان کی صدی منائی گئی، سرسید یونیورسٹی،...
Islam is a global religion and has provided a comprehensive code of life applicable in every age. Economy is one of its foremost priorities and gives basic principles to its followers to exercise a legal and favorable mean of earning. In Islamic economic system there are many ways and sources that have been prohibited or have not been recommended. As in our daily life we face those modes of financing, so in this article they have been comparatively analyzed in light of the sayings of the Prophet (S.A.W) in order to explore its legitimacy.
A Study of Some Aspects of Topologized Groups A topological group is a mathematical object along with algebraic and topological structures. In this thesis our motivation is to study topological properties in the presence ofalgebraic structure particularly when the mappings are not continuous. It is a common question in topological algebra that how the relationship between topological properties depends upon the underlying algebraic structure. It is noticed that weaker the restriction in between algebraic structure and topology are, the larger is the class we obtain. Since we have weakened the condition of continuity and replaced it with the weaker form that is semi continuity and irresolute mapping and resultantly obtained s-(S-, Irresolute, Irr-) paratopologized or topologized groups. The purpose of this thesis is to give a mostly self contained study of s-(S-, Irresolute, Irr-) paratopologized or topologized groups. It is shown that every irresolute paratopological group is Irr-paratopological group as well as s-topological group. Every paratopological groups is s-paratopological group as well as S-paratopological group, and every Irr- paratopological group is S-paratopological group. Counter examples are given to show that such paratopological groups are generalized forms of the corresponding topologized groups. We have also defined and studied quasiboundedness of irresolute paratopological groups and s-paratopological groups. New notions- quasi bounded and - quasi bounded homomorphisms are introduced and discussed. In Chapter number six, we have defined semi-quotient mappings which are stronger than semi continuous mappings. Various interesting and important results on semi-quotients of paratopologized groups are proved. We have also studied semi connectedness for topologized groups.
