Multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) is a tuberculosis infection that is resistant to the treatment at least two of the most powerful anti-tuberculosis drugs, such as Isoniazid and Rifampisin. Increased cases of MDR-TB in morbidity and mortality become obstacles in the control of tuberculosis (TB), thus requiring supportive treatment of natural ingredients that can contribute in the treatment of TB, such a noni fruit. The main objective of this study was extract of noni fruits to inhibition the growth of strain MDR-TB bacteria, and compered it with the anti-TB drugs. The Morinda c. Linn (Noni) fruits was extraced by ethanol (96%). The extract was filtered through whatman No.1 filter paper, evaporated to dryness on a water bath until the solvent evaporated completely and yield of the crude extract. The experiment were divided into 3 groups, i.e.: negative control: group I; positive control: group II; crude extracts noni fruit: group III: combinations of crude extracts noni fruit and anti-TB drugs (K, AK, and OF). Each group was divided into three groups’ doses of 30 mg/ml, 40 mg/ml and 50 mg/ml. The Anti-tuberculosis activities of extracts noni fruit and K, AK, and OF against TB-MDR bacteria were tested by susceptibility test using proportion method in Lowenstein-Jensen (LJ) media.The anti-tubercular activity of noni fruits was determined by the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of the bacterial growth at various doses 30 mg/ml, 40 mg/ml, and 50 mg/ml. The research design used post-test only contol group, and analyzed using analysis of variance and post hoct test. The extracted of Morinda c.Linn (noni) fruits have antitubercular activity to inhibiton of growth MDR-TB bacteria at various doses (p value=0,000). At a dose 30 mg/mlthe mean rate of the growth colonies of MDR TB-bacteria whit the mean rate 59,00 ± 27,81, and at a dose 40 mg/ml was1,50 ± 2,81. While at a dose of 50 mg/ml the bacterial colonies of MDR-TB did not grow in media. The combination of Morinda c.Linn (noni) fruit with anti-tuberculosis drugs, was the smallest groups to inhibit and eliminate MDR-TB bacteria at a dose 30 mg/ml(0,00 ± 00.00). The experimental results confirmed the extracted of Morinda c.Linn (noni) fruits have antitubercular activity as well as anti-TB drugs, and the combination of the extracted of Morinda c.Linn (noni) fruits and anti-TB drugs was the best groups to inhibiton of growth MDR-TB bacteria.   Keywords: TB-MDR Bacteria, Morinda c.

Objective: To compare and evaluate the effects of broiler chicken fed with commercially offered feed and chicken fed with organic diet on BMI and weight gain in Sprague Dawley rats. Study Design: A randomized controlled trial. Place and Duration of Study: Multi-Disciplinary Laboratory of Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Army Medical College, Rawalpindi, and collaborated with Quaid-e-Azam University, Islamabad from November 2017 to April 2019. Methodology: Ninety male early weaned Sprague Dawley rats were arbitrarily assorted into three groups (n=30). Group I control rats were nourished on standard pelleted diet. Group II rats were nourished with organic chicken meat along with their standard pelleted diet. Group III rats were nourished with broiler chicken meat along with their standard pelleted diet. BMI and weight gain were estimated. All variables were calculated as Mean ± SD values. One-way ANOVA was applied to determine the significance among groups followed by Tuckey’s HSD post hoc test. p value ≤ 0.05 was considered significant. Results: The current study demonstrated significant increase in BMI (p ≤ 0.001) and weight gain (p ≤ 0.001) in both experimental groups as compared to control group. Conclusion: Based on the findings of our study we propose that broiler chicken meat consumption could be the probable cause of weight imbalances and out of proportion gain of weight and growth in experimental rats.

The aim of this research was to investigate the effect of red watermelon (Citrullus vulgaris) extract to the value of erythrocytes, hemoglobin, and hematocrit of mice (Mus muscullus) exposed to cigarette smoke. This study followed direct complete randomized design by using 12 males’ mice which divided into 4 groups. The treatment group is divided by the negative control group which given 0,5 ml of aquadest, the positive control group which exposed to cigarette smoke and 0,5 ml of aquadest. The treatment group I was exposed to cigarette smoke and given red watermelon extract dose 22 mg/Bw mice. The treatment group II was exposed to cigarette smoke and given red with watermelon extract dose 44 mg/Bw mice. The exposure to cigarette smoke and the given of red watermelon extract were conducted for 30 days. The blood taking was performed on day 31 in the Plexus retroorbital.  Furthermore, the number of erythrocytes, hemoglobin and hematocrit were calculated. The data were analyzed using ANOVA completely randomized design with SPSS for Windows 16.0. The results of this study showed that the extract of red watermelon for 30 days showed a highly significant effect (P 0.01) to the number of erythrocytes, hemoglobin, and hematocrit of mice. It is concluded that free radicals contained in the cigarette can cause a hemoglobin desaturation, increased blood viscosity, oxidative stress and red watermelon extract can minimize the damage.

Objective: This study aimed to compare the number of survival, apoptotic and necrotic cells of ipsilateral testicular germinal epithelial cells in male wistar rats with unilateral testicular torsion between nifedipine given and control groups. Material & Methods: Thirty male wistar rats aged 10-12 weeks were randomly divided into 5 groups, each consisted of 6 rats. The negative control group (KN) underwent a sham procedure and left orchidectomy. Positive control group 4 (KP4) and 10 (KP10) performed left torsio testis 3 x 360 degrees medially for 4 hours and 10 hours respectively, then performed orchidectomy 4 hours after detorsion. The 4-hour (N4) and 10 hours (N10) nifedipine treatment group received the same treatment with positive control, but 30 min before detorsion performed, nifedipine were given intraperitoneal 100μg/kg. Within 1 hour after orchidectomy, cell count was calculated using flow cytometry. Results: It was found that the 4 (N4) and 10 hours (N10) nifedipine treatment group had a higher survival cells and also a lower number of apoptotic and necrotic cells compared to the positive control group. It was found that the 10 hours nifedipine treatment group (N10) had a lower number of apoptotic and necrotic cells compared to the 10 hour positive control group (KP10). The difference was statistically significant with p value <0.05. However, in KP4 and N4 group compared with KP10 and N10 group, higher apoptotic cells was obtained. This was a new phenomenon that needs to be investigated more deeply. Conclusion: Intraperitoneal administration of nifedipine prior to testicular detorsion may reduce the number of apoptotic and necrotic cells of testicular germinal epithelial cell, and may increase the number of survival cells in ipsilateral testes with unilateral testicular torsion.

Up to now, there are no studies that have shown a decrease in morbidity and mortality in the context of sepsis and septic shock, except for antibiotic therapy and the objective-guided resuscitation strategy. The goal was to evaluate the use of thiosulfinate-enriched Allium sativum extract (TASE) as an adjuvant in the management of sepsis. An experimental in vivo study was carried out with male Sprague Dawley® rats. Animals were randomized in three treatment groups: the control group (I), antibiotic (ceftriaxone) treatment group (II) and ceftriaxone plus TASE treatment group (III). All animals were housed and inoculated with 1 × 1010 CFU/15 mL of intraperitoneal Escherichia coli ATCC 25922. Subsequently, they received a daily treatment according to each group for 7 days. Clinical, analytical, microbiological, and histopathological parameters were evaluated. Statistically significant clinical improvement was observed in the ceftriaxone plus TASE vs. ceftriaxone group in weight, ocular secretions, whiskers separation and physical activity level (p ≤ 0.05). When comparing interleukins on the third day of treatment between II and III, we found statistically significant differences in IL-1 levels (p < 0.05). Blood and peritoneal liquid cultures of group I were positive for multisensitive E. coli. Group II and III cultures were negative for E. coli, although an overgrowth of Enterococcus faecalis was found. In conclusion, TASE used as an adjuvant to antibiotic treatment in the management of sepsis could improve response profiles with sepsis attenuation, thus reducing overall mortality after an animal peritonitis model.

Background: Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune debilitating disease involving multiple joints and organs. Many treatment options are available but all are associated with frequent side effects. Phytochemical screening of Torilis leptophylla has shown the presence of anti-inflammatory compounds like flavonoids, phenols and anthraquinones. This study was designed to evaluate its effect on joints inflammation (rheumatoid arthritis). Indomethacin is one of the oldest and most commonly used drugs for arthritis. It was used as a standard drug to compare with indomethacin. Methods: This experimental study was carried out in Pharmacology Department, University of Health Sciences, Lahore. Thirty six male albino Wistar rats were randomly divided into six groups (group I-control, group II-positive control, group III-10 mg indomethacin, group IV,V,VI--100mg, 200mg, 300mg Torilis leptophylla extract (TLE) administered (orally) respectively). Arthritis was induced by sub plantar injection of 0.1 ml Freund’s complete adjuvant (FCA) to all groups except the control group. Body weight (weekly) and ankle joint diameter (every 4th day) were measured. At day 29 blood was collected and all animals were killed by overdose of ether. Acid phosphatase and alkaline phosphatase levels were determined by chemistry analyzer (RX MONZA, RANDOX, Republic of Ireland). Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS 20. One way ANOVA and Post hoc -Tukey tests were applied. A p-value of ≤0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: Treatment with indomethacin caused significant (p≤0.001) reduction in all the inflammatory parameters. Torilis leptophylla extract also significantly (p≤0.05) reduced all the inflammatory parameters. Anti-inflammatory effect was comparable to indomethacin. Conclusion: Torilis leptophylla has significant anti-arthritic activity as it modified the parameters of joint inflammation and destruction.
