Morphological evaluation of aortic vessel in Spontaneously Hypertensive Rat (SHR) Models
No full textThe spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHR) has been well established as a suitable model for hypertension research, but little is known about the morphology of hypertensive vascular remodeling in this model. The present study was designed to investigate the structural changes of blood vessels in 6 months aged SHR in comparison to their corresponding model, Wistar Kyoto rats (WKY). The study utilised 12 male rats; which were equally divided into 6 SHR and 6 WKY. During dissection, thoracic aorta was harvested for histological examination. To evaluate the morphological appearance of SHR and WKY, hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) stain was done. Whereas Scanning electron microscopy was applied to view the ultrastructure of the vessel. The result shows that the aorta histology of WKY looks normal; depicted by showing smooth intima with a single layer of endothelial cells. In contrast with SHR, the structure was slightly distorted and thicker intima observed; suggesting vascular remodeling has occurred
Histological and ultrastructural alterations in diabetic rats kidney: Sub-chronic study
No full textHyperglycaemia is the most common metabolic condition experienced by patients with diabetes mellitus (DM). Prolonged hyperglycaemia is associated with many destructive complications and the impairment of internal organs such as the kidney. This present study aims to evaluate histological and ultrastructural changes ofkidney tissues in sub-chronic diabetic model. Diabetes was induced in Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats by single intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin (STZ) at 50 mg/kg of body weight. The induced-diabetic rats were left untreated for 12 weeks and their fasting blood glucose level were recorded. At the end of the study, the rats were euthanised and their kidneys were harvested for histological and ultrastructural study. In histological analysis, the diabetic-glomerulus appeared to be larger, numbers of capillary loops have been reduced, with some of mesangial cell proliferations identified. Non-glomerular changes include loss of tubular brush border, tubular dilatation and mild eosinophilic deposits were also identified in the diabetic-glomerulus. In scanning electron microscopy (SEM), diabetic-glomerulus illustrated loss of podocyte with foot process disruption. This study has proved some important kidney changes in diabetic-rats which are coherent to diabetic nephropathy (DN) histology. DN is a progressive symptom of DM and early detection of kidney changes will provide better prognosis of the disease
Estimation of anti-inflammatory activity as well as apoptotic activity of ethanolic extracts of crocus sativus
No full textInflammation is a body reaction which embroils cellular and biochemical responses, which is not only symptom for shared
diseases but also known to be an initial phase for certain serious Alzheimer’s, cancer, heart vascular diseases. In order to overcome
these drawbacks, there is an urgent need for nutraceuticals with excellent anti-inflammatory response with minimum side effects.
Aim: An attempt has been made to evaluate the anti-inflammatory activity along with gene expression analysis on ethanolic
extracts of Crocus sativus (CSEE). Dried stigmas of C. sativus were analyzed for anti-inflammatory activity by macrophage
scavenging assay. In this study, the phagocytic activity of the extract was tested on oxidative burst reduction of macrophages. RTPCR was performed to analyze the anti-apoptotic gene expression during cell death, as a result of the compound treatment on
cancer cells. The CSEE unveiled high phagocytic activity on the oxidative burst reduction, presenting intracellular killing and the
enhancement of lysosomal enzyme activity, showing the active degranulation of macrophages. These findings suggest that C.
sativus possessed excellent anti-inflammatory as well as apoptotic activities. Hence it was proposed that C. sativus could be
exploited against oxidative stress, anti-inflammatory, cancer and ageing therapy to justify their use in traditional medicine as a
nutraceutical
Methods of the companions in receiving the prophetic hadith after the death of Prophet Muhammad
No full textAfter the death of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), the Companions realized that the
revelation had stopped. The Companions reacted by finding ways which can help them preserve the Prophetic
Hadith. The expansion of the Islamic territories and the abundance of incidents and events had made the
narration of the Prophetic Hadith a necessity. The Companions have made tremendous efforts in the service of
the Prophetic Hadith in order to it to the next generation. This library research is aimed to record these efforts
and to derive the methods of the Companions in receiving the Prophetic Hadith from the Prophet –Peace be
upon him- after his death. This study also explain the diversity and the importance of those methods. These
methods included first, emphasizing on asking one another even though if performing a journey is necessary.
Second, verification and vigilance in the narration. Third, their command to reduce the narration of the
Prophetic Hadith in fear of error or forgetfulness. Fourth, oath adjuration to the narrator and repetition of
hearing in heterogeneous time. These efforts have resulted in preserving the Prophetic Hadith from elimination
and fraud
The effect of flax seed extract on the blood glucose level and liver bio markers in diabetic rats
No full textPrescribed medications used to treat diabetes do not adequately inhibit
the development of its associated complications, furthermore, they may
cause different side effects. Hence, there is a demand for alternative
therapies to manage diabetes and its associated complications. This
study aimed to evaluate the hepatoprotective effects of flaxseed extract
in streptozotocin(STZ)-induced diabetic rats. Diabetes mellitus was
induced in Sprague-Dawley rats using a single injection of
streptozotocin (60 mg/kg, intraperitoneally). The rats were divided into
five groups of 8 animals each: Group NC, normal control rats; Group
NF, normal rats treated with flaxseed extract (400 mg/kg); Group DC,
diabetic control rats; Group DG, diabetic rats treated with
glibenclamide (0.6 mg/kg); Group DF, diabetic rats treated with flaxseed extract (400
mg/kg); for 4 weeks. Body weight, liver relative weight, blood glucose level and liver
enzymes were determined in all experimental rats. Results showed a significantly increased
relative liver weight, blood glucose, AST, ALT, GGT, ALP, and LDH levels, and decreased
body weight, total protein, albumin, and globulin levels in DC group comparing to NC group
(p<0.05). The disturbance of these parameters was ameliorated in DF and DG groups,
however, the ameliorative effect was significant in DG group only (p<0.05). These
pathological changes were ameliorated in the flaxseed extract and glibenclamide treated rats. In conclusion, our data showed that flaxseed extract represents a potential alternative
treatment to control diabetes mellitus and its related hepatopathy
Registration of Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Image and Functional Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) Data
No full textFunctional near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is the optical imaging that measures changes of
blood hemodynamic while positron emission tomography (PET) measure physiological condition of the
interest area. NIRS has high temporal resolution while PET image has better spatial resolution compared,
however, NIRS measures hemodynamic changes in the cortex region but not in deeper brain structures.
Therefore, this study is aimed to register the both image; the NIRS data on the PET image. The registration
of NIRS on PET image was done on eleven subjects which undergoes NIRS and PET scan separately. To
register the NIRS probe on the PET image, we did a transformation of NIRS probe coordinate to the PET
coordinate based on Polaris marker position attached to the NIRS cap. The coordinate of these markers is
obtained using the optical tracking system, Polaris. The resulting image forms PET and NIRS were visually
aligned as well as the coordinate of the marker obtained during the PET acquisition. The probe was
registered on the PET image using the in-house software. The registration done in this study is considered
successful as we can view the NIRS activation area on PET image
الحقوق الشرعية للمرأة في القرآن الكريم من خلال سورة النساء The legitimate rights of women in the holy Quran through Surat an - Nesa ’
No full textWomen in Islam have an important and clear role. They have been honored and granted rights to
raise their status higher than it was before Islam. Throughout history and in ignorant societies,
women have suffered a painful reality from infanticide, oppression, humiliation, aggression and
violation of their dignity. The rights of women are of great importance in the Islamic thought as
obvious in many positions in the Holy Quran, especially in Surat An-Nesa’. The research addresses
this point. It shows the rights of women in Islam as summarized in Surat An-Nesa’, since women
are a reflection of society, it shows the extent of its development and raising. The purpose of this
research is to clarify the legitimate rights of women granted by God Almighty and detailed in His
holy book and make them comprehensive and complete for all spheres of life in this world and the
Hereafter on equal terms with men with neither injustice nor derogation. Islam is the only system
that has granted women unprecedented. The current study arrives to the following results: in preIslam, women were maltreated and undervalued. After the advent of Islam, women have had an
independent entity and personality, and been equated with men and women in terms of rights and
dignity. The Islamic religion views women as half of society. She is the man's partner in building
the universe, and his partner in slavery to God
Cyberterrorism as a threat to international peace and security: A critical discourse
No full textWith the end of the previous millennium and the entry of the new millennium, a new and somewhat strange war emerged.
With the technological development and the invention of modern computers, this threat has become inevitable and
imminent for both big and small countries. The new form of conflict is as challenging to international peace and security
as the traditional ones and came with new threats that take place in a virtual battlefield known as cyberspace. Thus,
cybercrimes, cyberterrorism and cyberwarfare came under the limelight on the international stage and became one of the
primary concern of the world of the United States and other world powers. The western powers started considering
cyberterrorism to be same with traditional terrorism and advocate for the application of equal measure to address it. The
qualitative descriptive method of data analysis was utilized in making meaning out of the data collected from the
secondary sources. It involves a descriptive summary of the information collected on specific events of the issues under
study. This paper dwells on the phenomenon of cyberterrorism with inquisition of whether international law applies to
cyberspace. Finally, some recommendations are offered on how to address the issue
Impact of education status, religious knowledge and family economy on the practicing prayer among students for primary school in Setiu District, Terengganu Malaysia
No full textPrayer is a religious pillar where prayer is the greatest of worship
that brings the servant closer to his Lord and it is the
steadfastness of the relationship of the creature and its creator.
The solat according to syarak is defined as a few words and deeds
commenced with takbir and endorsed with greetings and with the
conditions specified. This study was conducted to determine the
effectiveness of educational status, religious knowledge and
family economy on student prayer practice primary school in
Setiu District. Total sample 175 secondary school students (level
two) of the study. Data were analyzed using IBM-SPSS-AMOS
(SEM) program version 21.0. The findings indicate that the
educational status, religious knowledge and family economy on
student prayer practice primary school. Furthermore, Inference
analysis findings also show educational status, religious
knowledge and family economy, have a positive and significant
influence on student prayer practice. This shows that family
education, especially in religious knowledge and economic
family, plays a role in the practice of prayer in primary schools.
In conclusion, the implications of this research, the researchers
are aware of the need for cooperation from the school to
emphasize the students on the practice of prayer in their daily
lives. Although the level of education and family economics is a
factor in the practice of prayer in this study, the role of teachers
helps to overcome them
