Effect of and Extracts on Inhibition of Human Colon and Prostate Cancer Cell Lines.

The goal of this study was to investigate whether and methanol extract the have effect on colon and prostate cancer cell lines. Analysis of total content of phenolics and flavonoids of each plant extract was carried out. Cytotoxic effect, cell cycle analysis, induction of apoptosis and gene expression of and genes were studied.

Is the open approach superior to the laparoscopic hernia repair in children? A retrospective comparative study.

Background: For many years now, inguinal hernia repair in children has been done either by the open approach or laparoscopically with laparoscopy having the edge in terms of cosmesis and postoperative pain. However, recent studies have called for a return of the open approach as it had a comparable result to laparoscopy with lesser cost. This study aims to compare the outcomes of the two approaches at our institution.

Eustress with HO Facilitates Plant Growth by Improving Tolerance to Salt Stress in Two Wheat Cultivars.

In this study, the positive role of hydrogen peroxide (HO) pretreatment in mitigating the adverse impacts of seawater stress has been evaluated in two wheat ( L.) cultivars, namely Gemmiza 11 as a salt-sensitive and Misr 1 as a salt-tolerant cultivar, with contrasting phenotypes in response to the salinity stress. Under normal conditions, wheat seeds eustress with HO have shown significant effects on the improvement of plant growth parameters, such as dry weight and root and shoot lengths.

PROTECTIVE EFFECT OF CAMEL MILK AS ANTI-DIABETIC SUPPLEMENT: BIOCHEMICAL, MOLECULAR AND IMMUNOHISTOCHEMICAL STUDY.

Background: Diabetes is a serious disease affects human health. Diabetes in advanced stages is accompanied by general weakness and alteration in fats and carbohydrates metabolism. Recently there are some scientific trends about the usage of camel milk (CM) in the treatment of diabetes and its associated alterations.

Developing transgenic wheat to encounter rusts and powdery mildew by overexpressing barley gene for fungal resistance.

Background: The main aim of this study was to improve fungal resistance in bread wheat via transgenesis. Transgenic wheat plants harboring barley () gene, driven by maize promoter, were obtained using biolistic bombardment, whereas the herbicide resistance gene, driven by the promoter was used as a selectable marker.

Results: Molecular analysis confirmed the integration, copy number, and the level of expression of the gene in four independent transgenic events.

Glutathione S-Transferase Pi-Ile 105 Val Polymorphism and Susceptibility to T2DM in Population from Turabah Region of Saudi Arabia.

Type 2 diabetes mellitus is characterized by chronic hyperglycemia and associated with oxidative stress resulting from accumulation of free radicals in body's tissues, which especially affects beta cells in pancreas and is an important factor in the development of diabetes and its complications. Glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) are a family of antioxidant enzymes that play important roles in decreasing ROS species and act as a kind of antioxidant defense. In a case-control study, we investigated the role of GSTP1 Ile105Val polymorphism in predisposition to T2DM in patients from Tarabah province, Saudi Arabia.

Protective effects of camel milk against pathogenicity induced by Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus in Wistar rats.

The aim of the present study was to investigate the protective effects of camel milk on hepatic pathogenicity induced by experimental infection with Escherichia (E. coli) and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) in Wistar rats.
