BODY WEIGHT AND LINEAR MEASUREMENT AT SEXUAL MATURITY OF F1 PROGENY FROM WEST AFRICAN DWARF AND WHITE BORNU GOATS CROSSING IN HUMID NIGERIA

Twenty-four unit breeding herd of two indigenous goat breeds (West African Dwarf and White Bornu) were raised in a humid environment of Nigeria to evaluate the effect of breed and sex on the body weight and linear measurement at sexual maturity of progenies from within and between crosses of both breeds. Results from the study revealed that breed and sex had significant influence on parameters assessed with higher values been observed in the crossbred and the White Bomu purebred. Body weight values ranged from 22. 76 ± 2.17 to 34.43 ± 1. 77 cm with higher value observed in crossbred. This trend was also revealed in traits such as Height at wither (HA W), Heart girth (HG), Body length (BL), Upper fore limb (UFL), Lower fore limb (LFL), and Upper hind limb (UHL). However, lower hind limb (LHL) -was higher in White Bornu purebred with value of 18.47+0.60 and the crossbred recording 17.64 ± 0.74 cm which implies that improvement was made on traits of the West African Dwarf goat due to crossbreeding with White Bornu.
Phytochemical analysis and comparative study of in vitro free radical scavenging activity of different extracts of leaves of Abrus precatorius L

The present study was carried out to evaluate and find the extracts having potential in vitro antioxidant property of leaves of Abrus precatorius L. (Family: Fabaceae). The free radical’s scavenging effect was determined by in vitro antioxidant assays, using 2, 2-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl free radical (DPPH) method. The extract was obtained by maceration process using three solvents, namely; water, methanol and chloroform. The phytochemical analysis of the leaves revealed the presence of alkaloids, saponin, tannin and several polyphenols. The different concentrations of extracts (g/ml) were prepared and used to evaluate antioxidant activity as a percentage inhibition. The results showed that percentage inhibition of DPPH by methanol, chloroform and aqueous extracts were 75.16, 72.09 and 62.22% at 300 g/ml, respectively. Methanolic extract of A. precatorius showed good inhibition as compared to ascorbic acid (p<0.05) due to high phenolic content in the leaf extract. It was concluded that methanolic extract of leaves of A. precatorius plant exhibited potent in vitro free radical scavenging activity.
Dynamics of growth and phytomass allocation in seedlings of Pistacia atlantica desf. versus Pistacia vera L. under salt stress

Salinity represents a major environmental constraint which can severely limit plant establishment in the arid and semi-arid areas in Tunisia. The present work was carried out to study the response of Pistacia vera L. and Pistacia atlantica Desf. seedlings to salt stress. Evaluation of salinity effects on both species was investigated using five increasing NaCl concentrations (0, 20, 40, 60 and 80 mM) during 60 days. The exposure to NaCl at seedlings stages, affects the majority of the studied parameters. Morphological parameters, such as height of shoot, number of green leaves, leaf area and consequently, phytomass allocation were significantly decreased. Additionally, P. vera accelerated leaf senescence. Both species showed a preferential allocation of the resources in favor of the roots for concentrations of NaCl lower than 40 mM. Whereas, only P. atlantica maintained a root growth for higher concentrations. Under salt stress, the specific leaf area decreased in P. atlantica (p<0.001) and translate a mechanism of tolerance to salinity. It appeared that both species tolerate concentrations lower than 40 mM of NaCl. However, for higher concentrations, P. atlantica seedlings are more tolerant. * Corresponding Author: Samouna Ben Hamed  benhamed22010@yahoo.fr International Journal of Agronomy and Agricultural Research (IJAAR) ISSN: 2223-7054 (Print) 2225-3610 (Online) http://www.innspub. net Vol. 6, No. 1, p. 16-27, 2015 International Journal of Agronomy and Agricultural Research (IJAAR) ISSN: 2223-7054 (Print) 2225-3610 (Online) http://www.innspub. net Vol. 5, No. 1, p. 14-22, 2014

Ranking the Relative Risk of Common Food Products Based on their Fat Composition, with Emphasis on Trans Fat, in Relation to Coronary Heart Disease in Women

Background: In the prospective Nurses’ Health cohort study the relative risk of coronary heart disease (CHD) in women was studied in relation to the fat composition of the diet [1]. The numerical consequences of an increase in the relative risk of CHD by enhancing the fat intake at the expense of the of the carbohydrate intake, both at a 5% energy level of the total energy intake, were assessed. As a result the percentage increase or decrease of the relative risk (RR) of CHD in women was established for saturated, mono unsaturated, poly unsaturated, and trans unsaturated fat respectively. Objective: To range groups of similar food products based on their fat composition in relation to the RR of CHD in women. Methods: From the USDA National Nutrient Database for Standard Reference, Release 28 [2], per product group the RRtot value of individual products was calculated based on their lipid composition. These calculations were performed for 100 gram of fat present in a product, either in the absence or presence of trans unsaturated fat. Results: Based on the fat composition of groups of similar food products the total relative risk value (RRtot) of these groups was calculated. This calculation was based on the amount of saturated fat (Satfat), mono-unsaturated fat (Mufat), poly-unsaturated fat (PUfat) and trans-fat (Transfat) present in 100 gram fat of each product. Each type of fat was multiplied with its own cofactor [1] and next summed to give RRtot. The value of each cofactor represents the extent to which this cofactor contributes to the risk of the development of CHD in women. The result of this analysis was converted into a table where the food products are ranked according to increasing RRtot values. Especially the contribution of Transfat to RRtot was emphasized, with special attention to the similarities and differences between industrial and ruminant Transfat. Conclusions: Obvious from this and many other studies is that industrial based Transfat is deleterious, especially in relation to the development of CHD. Plants do not contain Transfat only their processed products. Animals, with emphasis on ruminants produce their own transfat. Based on the most relevant information it is concluded that, though relatively low in amount (gram) Transfat from ruminants also is associated with biological markers indicative for the development of CHD.

DETECTION OF MUTATIONS IN GYRA GENE AMONG CIPROFLOXACIN RESISTANT ESCHERICHIA COLI ISOLATED FROM CLINICAL SAMPLES IN BAGHDAD CITY

Quinolone resistant Escherichia coli (QREC) isolation rate was elevated due to the prolonged use of this drug in clinical diseases. Various mechanisms play role in developing the quinolone resistance, mutations in DNA gyrase and topoisomerase II are the most common among them. The aim of this study was to identify the mutations in gyrA that correlated with ciprofloxacin resistance among Iraqi E. coli isolates. Out of 600 clinical specimens (Urine, Blood and infected wounds), 70 (11.67%) isolates were identified as E. coli during 2015 2016. The higher isolation was recorded from infected wound swabs (23.33%), while the prevalence rate of E. coli isolates from urine and blood samples was (12.27% and 4.49%, respectively). The resistance rate of ciprofloxacin for E. coli was recorded (52.86%) with minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) ≥ 4μg/ml. Nonsynonymous mutations, Ser-83 were detected in quinolone resistant determining region (QRDR) of gyrA in all sequenced QREC isolates (Eco U3, Eco U16 and Eco U58) and other mutations (Val-68-Ile, Ser-72-Pro, Arg-73-Cys and Lys-96-Glu) were also detected. Mutation outside this region was also displayed in Eco U16 isolate, at position (Ala-119) near to the active site of gyrA (Tyr-122).
Overview of Vaccines and Global Vaccination Coverage. Vaccines Vacccin 2017, 2(2): 000112

Worldwide, it has been estimated that immunisation programs prevent approximately 2.5 million deaths each year. An additional 1.5 million deaths could be avoided, however, if global vaccination coverage improves. Global vaccination coverage is generally holding steady. The Strategic Advisory Group of Experts on immunization identified 5 factors to achieving results in immunization coverage: quality and use of data, community involvement, better access to immunization services for marginalized and displaced populations, strong health systems, access to vaccines in all places at all times. Monitoring data at sub-national levels is critical to helping countries prioritize and tailor vaccination strategies and operational plans to address immunization gaps and reach every person with lifesaving vaccines. Countries are aiming to achieve vaccination coverage of at least 90% nationally and at least 80% in every district, introduction of one or more new or underutilized vaccines in all low-and middle-income countries, certification of polio eradication, measles and rubella eliminated in at least five World Health Organization regions by 2020. By 2016, 130 countries had reached at least 90% coverage of third dose of Diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis vaccine. Haemophilus influenzae type b vaccine had been introduced in 191 countries and coverage with 3 doses of vaccine is estimated at 70%. Global coverage with 3 doses of hepatitis B vaccine is estimated at 84%. Human papillomavirus vaccine was introduced in 74 countries by the end of 2016.Of the children worldwide, 85% had received 1 dose of measles. Mumps vaccine had been introduced nationwide in 121 countries by the end of 2016.Pneumococcal vaccine had been introduced in 134 countries by the end of 2016, and global coverage was estimated at 42%. In 2016, 85% of infants around the world received 3 doses of polio vaccine. Rotavirus vaccine was introduced in 90 countries by the end of 2016, and global coverage was estimated at 25%. Rubella vaccine was introduced nationwide in 152 countries by the end of 2016 and global coverage was estimated at 47%.
Distributed Systems – Emergence of Adaptive Load Sharing Method Using Hierarchical Policy

—we can improve the performance of distributed systems by load sharing (i.e., distribute load from heavily loaded nodes to lightly loaded ones). Adaptive load sharing policies take system state into account in making job distribution decisions. We can maintain the state information in one of two basic ways: distributed or centralized. This paper discuss on distributed systems which rely on either sender-initiated or receiver-initiated policies. While distribution of state information makes the distributed policies suitable for large distributed systems, they do suffer in performance. This paper mainly focuses on the adaptive load sharing on homogeneous distributed applications (Type-1). This paper also makes comparison over the Centralized and Distributed applications with different decision policies.
Childhood morbidity in Dutch general practice : epidemiology and management

Objective To examine the presentation and pattern of childhood morbidity in general practice compared with fourteen years ago, against the background of changing demography and increasing ethnic heterogeneity in children. Methods We used data of all children aged 0-17 years from two cross-sectional surveys performed in 1987 and 2001 in general practice in the Netherlands. The total number of children in the practices participating in these surveys was 86,577 children in 1987 and 82,053 children in 2001. Consultation rates of children in general practice were compared. Childhood morbidity was assessed by episodes of disease, coded according to the International Classification of Primary Care (ICPC). Childhood morbidity in 1987 and 2001 was examined by comparing the distribution of episodes among ICPC chapters stratified by ethnicity, and by comparing incidence rates of most frequently presented diseases. Results Childhood consultation rates have decreased from 2.7 visits a year per child in 1987 to 2.1 in 2001. The distribution of episodes among ICPC chapters has also changed. Respiratory problems are still the most frequently presented health problem in children but the proportion has decreased from 25.5% in 1987 to 23.3% in 2001. Skin problems were presented more often (23% in 2001 versus 17.8% in 1987), and western children more often presented with skin problems with than respiratory problems in 2001. Incidence rates of most respiratory diseases have decreased and specific skin diseases (such as dermatomycosis, impetigo and eczema) were diagnosed more often. Conclusion In the Netherlands, childhood morbidity has changed parallel with changing childhood demographics. Skin diseases have become more important in general practice and respiratory problems are declining.
Therapeutic role of L-DOPA produced as a secondary metabolite from different legumes and plant sources

L-DOPA (L-3,4-dihydroxyphenyl-L-alanine) is an important intermediate of secondary metabolism in higher plants and also a kind of important nerve transmitter which increases the dopamine content and obtains the therapy efficacy for the treatment of Parkinson’s disease, a degenerative disorder. L-DOPA extract has been shown to significantly increase the body’s natural production of human growth hormone and has various powerful health benefits for both men and women. L-DOPA can also act as a precursor for the synthesis of cathecolamines. L-DOPA occurs naturally in seedlings, pods and beans of Vicia faba Linn. and in the seeds of Mucana pruriens Baker, non DC. and is known as the major substance in the allelopathy of velvet bean plant, released from its roots. The presence of L-DOPA was previously thought in Mucuna and Vicia plants only. But now-a-days, it is also isolated from many other plants beyond these two genera.

Synthesis of Ecofriendly Silver Nanoparticle from Plant Latex used as an Important Taxonomic Tool for Phylogenetic Inter- relationship

Nano technology is the design, characterization, production & application of structures, devices and systems by controlling shape and size at the nanoscale. It involves the production, manipulation and use of materials ranging in size from less than a micron to that of individual atoms from not only chemical approaches but also biological materials. Silver nanoparticles were successfully synthesized from AgNo3 through a simple green and natural route using the latex of 6 different plant taxa belonging to 6 diffent families. Nano particle synthesis is proved under UV-Vis absorption spectroscopy (Sigma-Aldrich Chemical Pvt.Ltd). By using different plant-latex, silver nano particles synthesized which are quite stable and no visible changes are observed even after a month or so, if the nanoparticle solutions are kept in light proof condition. As nano particles have great application in medical world like gene therapy, cancer therapy,drug delivery etc. So medical world also easily accept the plant world for nano particle synthesis and welcome the angiosperms for their potentiality of synthesis of non polluted, environmentally acceptable, safety for human health nano particles. In taxonomic view, this modern tool for synthesis of ecofriendly, non toxic, not expensive nano particles help us to open a new vista for the classification of angiosperms and detection of their phylogenetic relationships depend on plantsability for the synthesis of nano particles which are variable in size & concentration in case of different family, different genus even also in the species level. So, the elucidation of exact mechanism of nano particles production using different plants needs much more experimentations.
