Current concepts on oxidative/carbonyl stress, inflammation and epigenetics in pathogenesis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
No full textChronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a global health problem. The current therapies for COPD are poorly effective and the mainstays of pharmacotherapy are bronchodilators. A better understanding of the pathobiology of COPD is critical for the development of novel therapies. In the present review, we have discussed the roles of oxidative/aldehyde stress, inflammation/immunity, and chromatin remodeling in the pathogenesis of COPD. An imbalance of oxidants/antioxidants caused by cigarette smoke and other pollutants/biomass fuels plays an important role in the pathogenesis of COPD by regulating redox-sensitive transcription factors (e.g., NF-κB), autophagy and unfolded protein response leading to chronic lung inflammatory response. Cigarette smoke also activates canonical/alternative NF-κB pathways and their upstream kinases leading to sustained inflammatory response in lungs. Recently, epigenetic regulation has been shown to be critical for the development of COPD because the expression/activity of enzymes that regulate these epigenetic modifications have been reported to be abnormal in airways of COPD patients. Hence, the significant advances made in understanding the pathophysiology of COPD as described herein will identify novel therapeutic targets for intervention in COPD
Environmental toxicity, redox signaling and lung inflammation:the role of glutathione
No full textGlutathione (gamma-glutamyl-cysteinyl-glycine, GSH) is the most abundant intracellular antioxidant thiol and is central to redox defense during oxidative stress. GSH metabolism is tightly regulated and has been implicated in redox signaling and also in protection against environmental oxidant-mediated injury. Changes in the ratio of the reduced and disulfide form (GSH/GSSG) can affect signaling pathways that participate in a broad array of physiological responses from cell proliferation, autophagy and apoptosis to gene expression that involve H(2)O(2) as a second messenger. Oxidative stress due to oxidant/antioxidant imbalance and also due to environmental oxidants is an important component during inflammation and respiratory diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, acute respiratory distress syndrome, and asthma. It is known to activate multiple stress kinase pathways and redox-sensitive transcription factors such as Nrf2, NF-kappaB and AP-1, which differentially regulate the genes for pro-inflammatory cytokines as well as the protective antioxidant genes. Understanding the regulatory mechanisms for the induction of antioxidants, such as GSH, versus pro-inflammatory mediators at sites of oxidant-directed injuries may allow for the development of novel therapies which will allow pharmacological manipulation of GSH synthesis during inflammation and oxidative injury. This article features the current knowledge about the role of GSH in redox signaling, GSH biosynthesis and particularly the regulation of transcription factor Nrf2 by GSH and downstream signaling during oxidative stress and inflammation in various pulmonary diseases. We also discussed the current therapeutic clinical trials using GSH and other thiol compounds, such as N-acetyl-l-cysteine, fudosteine, carbocysteine, erdosteine in environment-induced airways disease

ABSTRACT
This research based on the values that are included in the characteristics of Islam so that a Muslim must have good morals to become their habit. In Islam, morality is the main thing in behavior, including in terms of humor. Humor is something that can invite someone to smile and laugh. Humor makes people happy. In Islam, humor is regulated, one of which is not to lie The values of Islamic education in every behavior, means making Islamic values that give a religious scope. Its mean the value taught based on Islamic teachings. This study aims to describe the values of Islamic education in the book "Gitu Aja Kok Repot" by Abdur Rahman.
This research was qualitative research used the library research method, the primary data source in this study was book of Abdur Rahman , secondary data sources were in the form of books or journals about Gus Dur and the Values of Islamic Education. . The analysis that researchers used in data collection. It was content analysis, which is collecting data about humor in which there were values of Islamic education. Then the researcher analyzed the contents of the humorous text that had been selected and clarified in the values of Islamic education and was linked with relevant theories.
The results of this study indicate that from research on the values of Islamic education contained in the book “Gitu Aja Kok Repot” by Abdur Rahman, there are two things contained in the book “Gitu Aja Kok Repot”, that is, the values of Islamic education and the cultivation of Islamic values. First, the values of Islamic education consist of the values of worship and morals. Second, the method of inculcating Islamic values consists of the exemplary method and the advice method

No full textPEMIKIRAN FAZLUR RAHMAN TENTANG PENDIDIKAN DAN RELEVANSINYA DALAM DUNIA MODERN
No full textPragmatic education thought-instrumental is a philosophic point of view that blends with the religious viewpoint of abstract speculation in outlining the education. One of renewing Islamic education is Fazlur Rahman. According to him, the goal of Islamic education are as renewal which is the initial step in the Islamization for all aspects of human life.
The study of library (library research) i.e. research sourced from material libraries using a qualitative approach. In this case, the author does exploration of a number of primary data as well as secondary data. The author does an analysis of the concept of Islamic education prespective Fazlur Rahman and relevance against the modern world.
The concept of educational thought Fazlur Rahman i.e. the Qur\u27an as a guide in resolving every problem and the answer and make the human person that are creative, have moral values in accordance with the Qur\u27an. Whereas, education as an alternative to the secular science by receiving updates and tried to enter it with Islamic concepts as for Islamic education renewal effort started from the educational objectives, educational system, learners, educators and the means of education. The relevance of educational thought on modern world Fazlur Rahman now is integration between religion and discrimination through public education, omission of religion and public education, this has been done wrong by the College namely IAIN with try to follow the thinking of education Fazlur Rahman dare change the State Islamic University (UIN)

The Rahman Polynomials Are Bispectral
No full textIn a very recent paper, M. Rahman introduced a remarkable family of polynomials in two variables as the eigenfunctions of the transition matrix for a nontrivial Markov chain due to M. Hoare and M. Rahman. I indicate here that these polynomials are bispectral. This should be just one of the many remarkable properties enjoyed by these polynomials. For several challenges, including finding a general proof of some of the facts displayed here the reader should look at the last section of this paper.This paper is a contribution to the Vadim Kuznetsov Memorial Issue ‘Integrable Systems and Related Topics’. I am very thankful to a couple of referees who read the paper with great care and pointed out typos as well as ways to improve the presentation.

KONSEP MANUSIA DALAM PANDANGAN FAZLUR RAHMAN
No full textHumans as creatures full of mysteries are very interesting to study because they have never been fully understood and have never been satisfied with the answers of good thinkers among Islamic thinkers, much of the discussion is found in philosophy of theology and Sufism.
Research on this thesis, the author tries to explain the human concept of Fazlur Rahman. Fazlur Rahman who lived in the era of modernism and could not be separated from the Western world which influenced his thinking. As for what is discussed in this human concept problem is the purpose of human creation on this earth and his nature as a moral human being.
Studies on human concepts both in general and those that depart from the understanding of a thinker, have actually been written a lot. However, starting from the literature review that the author did, there are still several discussions that still need to be studied further. Of all the research on Fazlur Rahman's works, no one has discussed human problems as the theme of this research.
This thesis research uses the library study method and data processing techniques using descriptive methods by collecting various library data related to the theme of Fazlur Rahman's thoughts, mainly about human concepts and related to humanitarian problems that occur in Indonesia. Ideally aware of its nature but its application is still very far from ideal.
In formulating this human concept problem, the author departs from one of Fazlur Rahman's works entitled "the main theme of the Qur'an" so the writer tries to classify Fazlur Rahman's thoughts about humans. The results of this thesis find that humans according to Fazlur Rahman are servants and caliphs are God's representatives on this earth. Fazlur Rahman's concept of humans is still relevant in Indonesia today
