    Anaerobic bacteria typically degrade many types of aromatic monomers through conversion to benzoyl-CoA which is further degraded by ring reduction, ring cleavage and β-oxidation reactions. Rhodopseudomonas palustris has the ability to grow on different side-chain length aromatic compounds ranging from 3-phenylpropanoic acid to 8-phenyloctanoic acid. A β-oxidation or non β-oxidation metabolic pathway could be responsible for degradation of these compounds. To study the pathways and genes involved, a full cellular proteome analysis using mass spectrometry was carried out and the expression patterns for selected genes were measured by qRT-PCR. Two putative feruloyl-CoA synthetases, Fcs1 and Fcs2, in addition to a long chain fatty acid CoA-ligase (RPA1766) were overexpressed in E. coli as recombinant proteins and the purified enzymes were able to catalyse the formation of CoA thioesters of phenylcarboxylates with different chain lengths. The kinetic properties of Fcs1 enzyme showed a high kcat/Km value for 7-phenyl heptanoic acid. Activity was also recorded with 5-phenyl valeric acid, 6- phenyl hexanoic acid and 8- phenyl octanoic acid, but with lower kcat/Km values, while in contrast Fcs2 only utilised 3-phenyl propionic acid and the related hydroxycinnamic acid. RPA1766 was able to utilize only 8-phenyloctanoic acid with low affinity. These data along with protein structure modelling support the idea that Fcs1 catalyses the first step in a β-oxidation pathway for long chain phenylalkane carboxylates in R. palustris. However, other CoA ligases can contribute, as mutants lacking Fcs1 and Fcs2 genes were able to grow on long chain phenylalkane carboxylic acids. Evidence was obtained that the solute binding proteins of an ABC-transporter previously associated with pimelic acid and long chain fatty acid transportation (RPA3718-RPA3725) could bind certain phenylalkane carboxylates with a Kd value of 1.29 µM for RPA3723 with 7-phenylheptanoic acid

    Objective:- To assess the level of knowledge regarding hepatitis B, hepatitis C and HIV among attendants of patients visiting OPD of a tertiary care hospital. Study design: - Cross-sectional study. Setting: -Outpatient departments of Nishtar Medical University, Multan. Subjects and methods: - Three hundred and eight attendants of patients coming to the OPDs of Nishtar Hospital Multan were included and interviewed in this cross-sectional study. Non-probability convenient sampling technique was used. All the data was entered and analyzed by SPSS version 20. Results: - Three hundred and eight subjects were interviewed. The age of subjects varied from 15-70 years. The mean age was 37.06 years ±15.59 years Two hundred and twenty three (72.4 %) were familiar with hepatitis B, 196 (63.6%) with hepatitis C and 146 (47.4%) with HIV and 133 (43.2%) were familiar with all three viruses while 81 (26.5%) were unfamiliar with these viruses. Most of the subjects 93 (30.2%) knew about the transmission through injection by un-sterilized syringes, 90 (29.2%) were knowing that infected blood is important source of spread while 87 (28.2%) of the subjects were knowing that these are spread through infected razors. 84 (27.2%) were knowing unsafe sex as a mode of transmission. Sharing objects can be the source of spread was known to very less number of people, 9 (2.9%) were aware that these can spread through sharing infected tooth brushes, 7 (2.3%) with sharing infected “Miswaks” and only 3 (1%) were aware that these can spread through infected combs. Electronic media was the major source of knowledge 82 (26.6%), interpersonal communication 69 (22.4%) and newspapers in only 1 (0.3%). Conclusion: - knowledge about hepatitis B, hepatitis C and HIV is low in our study population. The results of the study have shown that many people still think that HIV is the only virus which is transmitted through sexual contacts and hepatitis B and C through contaminated blood. The knowledge about the modes of transmission is lower in the rural and un-educated community. General public has very little knowledge that infected combs, infected toothbrushes and infected “Miswaks” can also lead to transmission of hepatitis B and C. Electronic media particularly television & radio and newspapers are the main source of knowledge and awareness for the urban population while in rural population it is not the case. Effective health awareness campaigns are needed to be started among rural population Keywords: - Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, HIV

    Camel is considered as one of the most important and ecologically harmless domesticated animals in the dry region of Asia and Africa. Camels have considerable economic importance not only as a draught animal, but also for their milk and its by-products. They can produce a significant amount of milk from poor feed as compared to any other dairy species. This characteristic, in addition to the growing recognition of the economic value, and health benefits of camel milk make it a center of attention for people, particularly in arid- and semi-arid areas. Moreover, camel milk is a highly nutritious medium permissive for the growth of many diverse bacterial species. These bacterial populations are mainly grouped into pathogenic, spoilage, and technologically relevant bacteria. This chapter reviews the existing knowledge on the composition, nutritional value, health-promoting properties, and economic value of camel milk and its by-products. Furthermore, the relevant studies describing the microbiota of camel milk are included

    Background: COPD is major public health issue causing morbidity and mortality. Lower serum magnesium levels are seen in patients with acute exacerbations compared to stable COPD patients. This study aims at identifying hypomagnesemia as predictor of COPD exacerbations that may help reduce the burden of readmissions and mortality. Material and Methods: The Descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted –removed for blind review---from 16 July 2016 to 15 Jan 2017 after the ethical approval and informed consent. The indoor adult (>18years) diagnosed cases of COPD exacerbation were included by consecutive sampling. Patients with malignancy, pregnancy and receiving magnesium supplements were excluded.  Demographic details documented and after complete clinical evaluation, serum Magnesium levels of were assessed. Serum Magnesium < 1.80 mg/dl labeled hypomagnesaemia.  Data was analyzed by SPSS with significant p< 0.05. Results: Amongst 176 patients; there were 93(52.8%) males and 83(47.2%) females. Mean age was 56+7 years. Mean duration of COPD was 6.56 + 5.24 years (2-10 years).  Mean height in the study was 181 +12 cm and mean weight was 56.06 + 7.08 kg. The mean serum magnesium level was 1.5 + .49mg/dl. Low serum magnesium (<1.8 mg/dl) observed in 103(58.5%), gender wasn’t associated with hypomagnesaemia (p=0.294). Hypomagnesaemia in accordance to types of Anthonisen’s criteria was observed in 19(44.2%) with Type I, 37(57.8%) with Type II and 47(68.1%) with Type III COPD exacerbation. Hypomagnesaemia had significant association with Anthinosen’s levels of exacerbation (p=0.043). The mean age in patients with hypomagnesaemia was 56.61+6.78 Vs.  55.30+7.47 in patients without hypomagnesaemia (p=0.228). Conclusion: The study concludes mean serum magnesium levels are significantly lower in patients with acute exacerbation of COPD (58.5%), particularly in type II and III. Magnesium levels should be performed in all COPD exacerbations irrespective of gender and age. Replacement of magnesium may be helpful in alleviating symptoms and reducing frequency of exacerbations.
