RÉSUMÉ

Due to the power and high prevalence of infection and the lack of suitable medicine for the Ebola virus, research has been conducted on the discovery and introduction of anti-Ebola drugs. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the bioinformatic inhibition of Ebola virus entry and proliferation by licensed non-viral drugs. This research is a descriptive-analytical method and to carry out this investigation, first, the chemical structure of the compounds was drawn using ChemDraw Ultra 10.0 software, and then it was transferred to Hyperchem8 software to optimize the energy. Docking studies were carried out by AutoDock4.2 software and were analyzed in the final stage. The results obtained from the present study showed that the bonds involved in drug binding with receptors are hydrophobic, ?-?, hydrogen bonds, and cation-?. Among all studied compounds, the best docking results were related to chloroquine, diphenoxylate, and amodiaquine drugs. These three drugs with the most negative binding energy level had a greater tendency to bind to the amino acids of the binding site of GP and VP40 proteins. The weakest docking results were related to the two drugs erythromycin and dirithromycin, because the hydrophilicity of these two drugs is very high. In general, the presence of hydrophobic parts, optimal hydrogen bonds, and tertiary amine increases the anti-Ebola potency of drugs. Based on the results obtained from bioinformatics studies, all drugs show good inhibitory effects in the receptor binding site and can be considered effective inhibitors of Ebola virus entry and proliferation.

RÉSUMÉ

Abstract The current focus is on the overall pattern of seed storage present in the fragments of the soil of piedmont and alluvial landscapes of the environment. The present study predicted the seed banks of both soils of alluvial and piedmont zones in different ecological conditions and evaluate the potential of seeds in the restoration of both environments. The composition of the seed bank of soil is mainly affected by the alluvial environment and the structure of cleared area shows that more species of germinating annual grasses and growable seeds with the higher total number. Extant vegetation structures have an important role in the diversity of soil seed reservoirs, whose composition corresponded with the openness of the site. When in situ soil seed bank is recruited, it helps to restore only some components of the plant community in an alluvial environment. In our current research, it was confirmed that seed richness was higher in number at lower elevation (alluvial) than that at high elevation (piedmont). Seed richness showed a significant negative correlation with anions, cations, while significantly positive with altitude that suggests the richness pattern of the overall seed bank of the area is influenced by various environmental factors.


Resumo O foco atual está no padrão geral de armazenamento de sementes presente nos fragmentos de solo do Piemonte e nas paisagens aluviais do meio ambiente. O presente estudo previu os bancos de sementes de ambos os solos das zonas aluvial e piemontesa em diferentes condições ecológicas e avaliou o potencial das sementes na restauração de ambos os ambientes. A composição do banco de sementes do solo é afetada principalmente pelo ambiente aluvial e a estrutura da área desmatada mostra que mais espécies de gramíneas anuais em germinação e sementes cultiváveis ​​apresentam o maior número total. As estruturas da vegetação existente têm um papel importante na diversidade dos reservatórios de sementes do solo, cuja composição correspondeu à abertura do local. Quando o banco de sementes do solo in situ é recrutado, o mesmo ajuda a restaurar apenas alguns componentes da comunidade de plantas em um ambiente aluvial. Em nossa pesquisa atual, foi confirmado que a riqueza de sementes era maior em número em altitudes mais baixas (aluviais) do que em altitudes elevadas (Piemonte). A riqueza de sementes mostrou uma correlação negativa significativa com ânions, cátions, enquanto significativamente positiva com a altitude, o que sugere que o padrão de riqueza do banco geral de sementes da área é influenciado por vários fatores ambientais.

RÉSUMÉ

Background: Aim of current study was to determine the prevalence of obesity in both sexes in persons aged 18-45 years. Methods: Multistage and multiphasic sampling technique was utilized in this study to screen the obese subjects of both males and females based on WHO classification of obesity according to BMI of 18-45 years of age. Each household was visited and only the subjects having age of 18-45 years were included in this study and this comprised of 5107 subjects, then identified obese cases with the help of height and weight techniques. Only those people who had simple obesity were included in the study. People having secondary obesity, drug induced obesity and pregnant ladies were excluded from this study. The data was collected and analysed using statistical software and chi square and proportional statistical test were applied. Results: Out of 5107 screened population, 2652 were males and 2455 were females and the prevalence of male obesity in study population is 6.41% and that of females is 7.74%. Conclusion: The sex has a significant impact on obesity. We reported in our study a prevalence of obesity is more in females as compared to males. A lack of physical activity as well as low frequency of employment makes females more susceptible to obesity.

RÉSUMÉ

E-721B, an indigenous herbal combination was investigated for its usefulness in immediate hypersensitivity using different animal models. The drug inhibited the mast cell degranulation induced both by antigen and compound 48/80, the Schultz-Dale response in sensitized guinea pig ileum smooth muscle preparation and the production of precipitating antibodies in 50% of tested rats. It also inhibited the mast cell degranulation in passively sensitized rats indicating its suppressive action on production of reaginic antibody (IgE). However, the drug did not inhibit the 48 hours passive cutaneous anaphylaxis reaction in rats, indicating that a single dose of the drug does not have cromoglycate like properties. All the above results indicate the inhibitory effect of E-721B on immediate hypersensitive reactions such as asthma.

RÉSUMÉ

To confirm the efficacy and tolerability of a new, low-dose, short-term triple therapy, 31 endoscopically diagnosed cases of peptic ulcer who were helicobacter pylori positive by brush cytology and urease test were inducted into the study. These patients were given lansoprazole 30 mg once a day, clarithromycin 250 mg twice a day and tinidazole 500 mg twice a day for one week only. Endoscopy, urease test and methylene blue test for helicobacter pylori were repeated four weeks after stopping the therapy. Ulcer healed in all the patients while helicobacter was eradicated in 90.3% of patients

RÉSUMÉ

In a seroepidemiological study for the prevalence of HIV infection in Pakistan, individuals from different groups were tested for HIV antibodies using ELISA. Positive results were confirmed by western blot. Out of 413 individuals screened four were found positive by ELISA, of these three were confirmed by western blot. Two cases were foreign nationals visiting Pakistan, one of them died of full blown AIDS, the other did not show any AIDS related condition. The third case was a Pakistani national who presented with full blown AIDS with toxoplasmosis. To our knowledge this is the first case of full blown AIDS reported in a Pakistani national. The fourth case was an asymptomatic promiscuous lady who could not be traced further. Blood transfusions abroad and sexual contacts were responsible for HIV infection in these cases
