Authors: Gupta Vikas , Singh Inderdeep , Goyal Sunil , Kumar Manoj , Singh Anubhav , Dwivedi Gunjan 
Published: June 2017

Osteomyelitis involving the maxillofacial skeleton is a rare entity today. In maxillofacial region mandible is more commonly involved as compared to maxilla. It continues to remain one of the most difficult to treat infections with considerable morbidity and costs to the healthcare system. Hallmark of osteomyelitis are progressive bony destruction and formation of sequestrum. When present, the possibility of underlying malignancy or granulomatous diseases should be kept in mind and ruled out. We present a rare case of osteomyelitis involving the maxilla in a 64 year old male diabetic. The patient was managed with sequestrectomy and debridement by infrastructure maxillectomy via a midfacial degloving approach, appropriate parentral antibiotic therapy and glycemic control. The patient had an uneventful recovery. <p> </p>

Published: June 2017

<p>Microalgae are considered as one of the potential source of biodiesel for the future. The search to obtain the potential strains from the algal diversity capable of producing oil is critical for sustainable production of biodiesel. In the present study, microalgae biomass with oil/lipid accumulation capability and their morphological features was isolated from Lake Abaya and Chamo. The algal biomass was cultivated <em>in vitro</em> and media optimization for maximum biomass was done using different basal media, BG-11 medium, and Chu -10. In addition the various carbon sources, nitrogen sources, pH and temperature were considered in this study for optimization. Green algae <em>Oedogonium</em>, <em>Chlorella </em>and <em>Cladophora</em> species were observed to be dominant species and the maximum oil per dry algal biomass was found to be from <em>Oedogonium</em> sp. Thus from the present study for the cultivation of the selected algae, BG-11 medium supplemented with tryptone (0.2%) sucrose (2%) and pH- 6 with incubation temperature of 30<sup>0</sup>C was found to be suitable. These results suggest that <em>Oedogonium</em> sp. has several desirable features that make it a potential candidate for biodiesel production.</p>
Protein difference among the leaf explants determined for shoot regeneration and callus growth in Mulberry (Morus indica L.)
Authors: Chitra D.S. Vijaya , Chinthapalli Bhaskarrao , Padmaja G. 
Published: June 2017

<p><strong>A comparison of protein profiles of leaves during different stages of shoot and callus induction showed similarities as well as differences in the expression of proteins. A protein of 39 kDa was expressed in low levels in leaf explants and increased in intensity during induction of shoot organogenesis in both the cultivars. Analysis of protein patterns during organogenesis and callus proliferation from leaves by two dimensional gel analysis revealed the separation of 39 kDa protein into four spots during organogenesis with pI values ranging from 4.2-5.8. However, the isoforms of 39 kDa protein with pI values of 4.2 and 5.8 were highly expressed in callus of M-5 cultivar in contrast to S-36 cultivar where only one isoform with pI value of 4.2 was detectable. The analysis of protein synthesis in different stages of development in the cultures may acts as markers to differentiate the group of specific isoforms.</strong></p>
Under-Funding Tertiary Education in Nigeria: Implication for Sustainable National Development
Authors: Onuma Nwite 
Published: June 2017

<div><p>The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of government underfunding of tertiary education for sustainable national development in Nigeria. Three research questions and two null hypotheses guided the study. The instrument for data collection was a secondary data from Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) entitled “Value of Educational Growth, Gross Domestic Product, Capital Government Expenditure and Recurrent Government Expenditure in Nigeria, 1990-2013”. The period under-review was chosen for the purpose of comparing funding of education in selected World Bank sampled countries. The researcher adopted Ex-post Facto research design to evaluate government budgetary allocation to education and value of educational growth between 1990 to<strong> </strong>2013. Correlation Martric and Square Regression (r<sup>2</sup>) and t-ratio statistics were used to analyze data collected. The findings showed that the value of educational growth, Gross Domestic Product, Current Government Expenditure and Regression Government Expenditure maintained increased trend and there was a positive relationship with a low productive value on education budget. This showed that expenditure on tertiary education is still below other countries under-review and below UNESCO recommended of 26% of total annual budgetary allocation. This has affected education development and programs of tertiary education in Nigeria. There is need for improved budgetary allocation to education in Nigeria to match other developing countries of Africa for greater attention to tertiary institutions in Nigeria. The study recommends that educational administrators and management of tertiary institutions in Nigeria should mount pressure on the political class to address the state of under-funding of education by government and implement UNESCO recommended 26% of annual budgetary allocation for suitable educational development. </p></div>

Distribution of Extended Spectrum Β-Lactamase Genes among Proteus Mirabilis Isolated From Clinical Specimens in Duhok City, Kurdistan Region, Iraq
Authors: Khalid Haval M. , Yassin Najim A. 
Published: June 2017

Extended Spectrum Beta Lactamase-among Proteus mirabilis strains recorded high incidence leaving few therapeutic options of potential infections. The purpose of current study was to assess the prevalence of antibiotic resistance among Extended Spectrum Beta-Lactamases (ESBL) producing P. mirabilis, in addition to molecular characterization of the ESBL gene-types using PCR. All isolates were fully identified, checked for antibiotic susceptibility and ESBL production using double disk synergy phenotypic method. Positive ESBL-producing isolates were subjected to PCR assay using specific primers for detection of CTX-M, TEM, and SHV genes. The majority of the isolates exhibited absolute susceptibility (100%) to both meropenem and ertapenem and high susceptibility (95%) to imipenem, while co-resistance were expressed toward cefotaxime, ceftazidime, ceftriaxone and other non-lactam antibiotics. Out of 37 isolates, 21(57%) were ESBL-producers and using a double-disc synergy test (DDST). Using molecular-based PCR, CTX-M (81%), TEM (57%) and SHV (24%) were determined among ESBL-positive. CTX-M was predominant and circulating among phenotypic multiple resistant strains. Moreover, the coexistence of CTX-M and TEM gene was a more frequent combination. The study highlighted the increasing levels of low antibiotic susceptibility among P. mirabilis harbored ESBL genes at Duhok city and also confirms that a high level of blaCTX-M-positive ESBL isolates is circulating in this area.

Published: June 2017

Staphylococcus aureus is one of the most adaptable human pathogens. Nasal Staphylococcus aureus is the main cause of community-associated staphylococcal infections. This project aimed to study the prevalence of nasal carriage of Staphylococcus aureus and community-associated methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA) and evaluate their antibiotic susceptibility tests among primary school children at Zakho city, Kurdistan region, Iraq. Nasal swabs were taken from a total of 300 primary school pupils aged 8-12 years. Collected nasal swabs were processed according to the standard bacteriological culture and isolates were identified using mannitol fermentation, Gram stain, catalase test and coagulase test. Antimicrobial susceptibility test was carried out on Muller-Hinton agar (MHA) to determine the susceptibility of S. aureus and CA-MRSA towards antibiotics. 30% (90/300) of the primary school children carried S. aureus. The nasal carriage of MRSA was 4% (12/300) among participants. All MRSA isolates were sensitive to vancomycin, doxycycline, amikacin and ciprofloxacin. This study showed that the incidence of S. aureus and CA-MRSA is comparable with reports from elsewhere. Measures are needed to keep the emergence and transmission of these pathogens to a lowest. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing of all S. aureus isolates is crucial for treatment of MRSA. Further studies are required to detect the risk factors of the acquisition of MRSA.
Effect of Some Chemical Factors on Pullulan Production from Date Syrup by Alocal Isolate of the Fungus Aurobisedium Pullulans
Authors: Haidar Mustafa M. , Adil Jeen N. 
Published: June 2017

This study was developed to use Iraqi date syrup as a carbon source and basal substrate for the production of the exopolysaccharide “Pullulan” by the yeast like fungus A. pullulans. It has been revealed that the best incubation period for high accumulation of pullulan was three days of incubation with initial pH value of 6.5. Also, the fermentation medium of 12% sugar was found to be superior to other sugar concentrations with respect to pullulan production. Moreover, the results of the addition of different nitrogen source containing same amounts of nitrogen present in 0.2% ammonium sulphate show that the urea stimulated pullulan biosynthesis by the fungus more than other tested nitrogen sources. Additionally, highest production of pullulan was obtained when a concentration of 0.2% sodium chloride and was added to the fermentation medium.
