ABSTRACT Chlorpyrifos, lambda-cyhalothrin, cypermethrin, spinosad and buprofezin were tested against the second instar larvae and adults (except buprofezin) of the green lacewing, Chrysoperla carnea. The results showed that chlorpyrifos was more toxic to second instar larvae than lambda-cyhalothrin, cypermethrin, spinosad and buprofezin with LC50 values of 1.78, 8.81, 26.9, 294.36 and 997.05 ppm respectively. However, lambda-cyhalothrin was highly toxic to the adult of C. carnea compared to the other pesticides. The LC50 of lambda-cyhalothrin was 0.04 ppm. Buprofezin and Spinosad were the least toxic to second instar larvae and adults of C. carnea respectively. According to the percents of mortality, these pesticide toxicity was classified into harmful pesticide (chlorpyrifos), moderately harmful (lambda-cyhalothrin and cypermethrin), slightly harmful pesticide (spinosad) and harmless pesticides (buprofezin). While, with the adults treated, these pesticides classified into two groups such as moderately harmful (lambda-cyhalothrin, chlorpyrifos and cypermethrin) and less harmful (spinosad) pesticides. These results confirmed that the adult of C. carnea was more susceptible to the previous pesticides than second instar larvae. Buprofezin and spinosad are more suitable pesticides for integrated pest management programs and can be used upon the peak of C. carnea population density.

Authors: He Peiyan , Yan Yong , Zhu Guoying , Zhu Ze , Chen Zhongwen
Published: May 2024

Background: Salmonellosis, a disease caused by Salmonella, is a significant public health concern and economic burden worldwide. The ability of various Salmonella serovars to cause disease is closely linked to the virulence genes they possess. Objectives: The aim of this study was to develop a multiplex fluorescence PCR for detecting ten major virulence genes (ssaR, spvC, pefA, sipA, fimA, sifA, sopE2, sopB, prgH, and stn) in Salmonella. Methods: Primer pairs specific to ten target virulence genes were designed using Primer Premier 5.0 and distributed across two reaction tubes. The multiplex fluorescence PCR was optimized by adjusting one factor at a time. Results: A total of sixty Salmonella strains were analyzed using the newly developed multiplex fluorescence PCR. All strains contained seven or more of the tested virulence genes. The positive rates of virulence genes ssaR, sipA, sopE2, sopB, prgH, and stn were high, each at 100%. The positive rate of sifA was also relatively high at 81.67%. However, the positive rates of spvC at 5% and pefA at 3.33% were relatively low. Conclusions: The newly developed multiplex fluorescence PCR provides a straightforward, cost-effective, and high-throughput solution for detecting virulence genes in Salmonella. It has the potential to become a routine method for analyzing Salmonella virulence genes.

Authors: Ding Min , Yang Juan , Zeng XueLi , Liu Pei , Zhang ShunLing , Zheng Sheng
Published: May 2024

Background: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most prevalent malignant tumors in clinical practice, with hepatitis B virus (HBV) being the most common risk factor for HCC. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have emerged as a new marker for disease diagnosis and molecularly targeted therapies; however, the mechanism of miR-642a-5p in HBV-associated HCC remains unclear. Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the expression of miR-642a-5p, which targets DNA damage-inducible transcript 4 (DDIT4), in HBV-associated HCC, and its effect on the proliferation, migration, and invasion of HBV-positive HCC cells. Methods: miR-642a-5p in the serum of patients with HBV-associated liver cancer (LC), as well as miR-642a-5p and DDIT4 mRNA in LC tissues and cells, and HBV DNA in HBV-positive cells were detected. The targeting of DDIT4 by miR-642a-5p and the progression of cells were also examined. All cell experiments were repeated five times. Results: The results indicated that levels of miR-642a-5p were decreased, while levels of DDIT4 were increased in the serum, tissues, and cells of HBV-positive HCC patients. Overexpression of miR-642a-5p inhibited the progression of HBV-positive HCC cells, suppressed HBV DNA replication, cell proliferation, and invasion, and promoted apoptosis in HepG2.2.15 cells. Conclusions: In addition, miR-642a-5p directly targeted DDIT4, and knockdown of DDIT4 reversed the effects of miR-642a-5p upregulation, promoting the progression of HBV-positive HCC cells. In conclusion, miR-642a-5p is expressed at low levels in HBV-associated HCC and inhibits HBV DNA replication and tumor progression in HBV-positive HCC by targeting DDIT4. This study provides a foundation for molecular targeted therapy in HBV-positive HCC.

Published: May 2024

We address the critical issue of road traffic accidents (RTAs) that significantly impact global mortality and morbidity. Annually, RTAs cause nearly 1.35 million deaths worldwide, making them one of the top ten leading causes of death, exceeding rates of tuberculosis and diarrheal diseases. In Pakistan, the situation is particularly dire due to its vast population and extensive road network. The increasing number of vehicles combined with rapid urbanization intensifies RTA occurrences. Inadequate enforcement of traffic laws leads to high-risk driving behaviors. Most victims are young adults, with motorcyclists, cyclists, and pedestrians being the most vulnerable groups. This highlights a pressing need for comprehensive reforms to enhance road safety practices, improve emergency response systems, and implement effective public health education to mitigate the devastating impact of RTAs.

Dimensions of Islamic Entrepreneurship Model: Evaluating the Elements of Entrepreneurial Ventures and Entrepreneurs from Islamic Perspective
Authors: Muhammad Aqib Ali
Published: May 2024

The concept of Islamic entrepreneurship has gained popularity in recent past with the involvement of religion and ethics to business practices. In relation to the developing interest in the domain of Islamic entrepreneurship, various theorists and scholars have offered their insights and varied postulations regarding the different forms and frameworks of Islamic entrepreneurship model as well. This paper offers a fresh perspective by proposing an Islamic entrepreneurship model with a dual set of pertinent factors. These elements are dissected into two major dimensions referred to as eemaan (faith) and asbaab (means) to encompass the essential factors pertinent to the proposed model in order to offer a comprehensive theoretical underpinning to the concept of Islamic entrepreneurship. The factors in “eemaan” category include Islamic attributes of business and entrepreneurs like taqwa, tawakkal, abidance to halal and haraam, and interest-free dealings among others; whereas the factors discussed under the category of “asbaab” factors include contemporary business essentials and generic qualities of entrepreneurs including creativity, innovation, business structure, objectives, and operations to name a few. The model expounded in this study is actually hinged upon the premise that Islam is a complete code of life and hence provides a concrete and clear pathway to success not only in this world but also in the world-hereafter. The Islamic ideology which in fact transcends beyond the attainment of business profits focuses on the attainment of “falah” implying ultimate success. The paper endeavors to offer a renewed perspective to the theory of Islamic entrepreneurship by presenting a holistic approach to understand various aspects of Islamic entrepreneurship by consolidating both the dimensions of deen and dunya in order to successfully achieve falah which is the basis of dual motive of attaining goodness and prosperity in both worlds in the context of Islamic entrepreneurial perspective.

Aim: The objective was to assess the clinical efficacy of anti-tumoral bleomycin on canine papillomatosis (CP) in two male Pug breed sibling puppies.
Material and Methods: Two 8 month-old, male sibling puppies were presented with multiple warts in the lip and chin. A suspected diagnosis of CP was established through only clinical examination with appearance of typical cauliflower-like warts. Bleomycin was subcutaneously administered to both siblings on a weekly by 0.5 IU/kg dosage.
Results: At week 6, one of the siblings exhibited complete regression of oral lesions, whereas the other sibling achieved complete healing by week 9. The warts persistently show complete resolution, with no new lesions. No adverse effects were observed, verified through weekly blood count and physical examination during and post-treatment.
Conclusion: Subcutaneous administration of bleomycin at weekly at a dose of 0.5 IU/kg contributed to the regression of oral lesions and improved clinical outcomes in dogs, suggesting potential efficiency in the treatment of CP.

In the regulation published by the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry in Turkey, it is stated that only automatic milk machines can be used to put raw milk on sale. This study aims to examine some physical, chemical and microbiological properties of a total of 40 raw milk samples sold in automatic vending machines and unpackaged, by egulations in Niğde province, and to compare the milk samples according to the retailer from which they were purchased. The study also aimed to quantitatively determine carbonate and hydrogen peroxide residues in milk samples and the presence of beta-lactam and tetracycline group antibiotics with a commercial kit. At the end of the study, the average value of lactic acid (%) density, fat, protein, non-fat dry matter, lactose, freezing point and pH values of the samples were determined as 0.153% ± (0.022); 1.028± (0.03) g/ml; 3.525%± (0.656); 3.5%± (0.107); 9% 4± (0.277); 5.134± (0.152); -0.549°C ± (0.018) and 6.55 ± (0.102) respectively. As a result of microbiological analysis of milk, the average number of total aerobic mesophilic organisms, coliforms, fecal coliforms, yeast-molds and micrococci-staphylococci was determined as 5.38 ± (0.47); 3.73 ± (1.11); 2.76 ± (1.66); 2.33 ± (1.86) and 4.29± (1.20) log cfu/ml respectively. Carbonate, hydrogen peroxide, beta-lactam and tetracycline antibiotic residues could not be detected in the milk samples. The fact that some of the results obtained in the study were outside the limits specified in the codexes and different from the study average reveals that the milk sold in businesses selling street milk should be analyzed regularly.
