Cordyceps militaris is widely used in many Asian countries as a traditional medicinal material for treating various ailments. This study aims to investigate how the growth of the medicinal mushroom C. militaris is influenced by the culture medium and culture conditions in a controlled laboratory setting. The results indicate that aromatic brown rice (BT7) significantly increases the fresh weight of all three collected materials of C. militaris. Shoot length and body weight were promoted by the glucose content, silkworm pupa powder and pH of the culture medium ranging from 6.0 to 7.0, with the optimal glucose content being 30.0g per bottle. The optimal temperature for growth is between 22°C and below 25°C, with a light intensity of 600-700 lux. For higher cordycepin content, the recommended harvesting time is 65 days, while for adenosine content should be 55 days after inoculation. These findings provide valuable information to improve both the biomass and quality of C. militaris, which is crucial for large-scale production in the pharmaceutical industry.

Developmental toxicity studies help to understand the impact of a pollutant on this crucial phase of the living organisms which can affect their population dynamics. Zebrafish has become an ideal model for studying environmental and embryo toxicity. The present study was carried out using zebrafish embryos for assessing the environmental toxicity of Di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) which is universally considered to be an omnipresent environmental contaminant as it is the most widely used plasticizer. The embryos were exposed to DEHP for a range of five concentrations of 0.2, 20, 80, 140 and 200 μg/L for the duration of 96 hours. The treatment resulted in increased mortality and decreased hatch rate, hatchability and heartrate. It also induced teratogenic endpoints like yolk sac edema, pericardial edema and spinal deformity in the embryos which increased in dose and time dependent manner.

In this paper we illustrate our bioinformatics system destined for an automatic insect classification in different taxonomic categories corresponding to different levels of precision according to their morphological characteristics such as: size; color; antennae; wings; mouthpart; etc. Our main goal is to automate the research; classification and to create an exhaustive database of insects in order to create a common directory of insects to save significant research time and facilitate classification. Our system is considered as a bioinformatics system, it uses artificial intelligence techniques to create an inference engine able to automatically recognize and classify a new insect. It also uses database creation techniques to create the knowledge and fact bases necessary for the proper functioning of the inference engine. Due to its interactive graphic interface, and by guiding its user, step by step, the system starts with the introduction of the morphological characteristics of the insect and the result is to automatically classify the insect in the database in the appropriate species. Our classification is focused on Hymenoptera precisely on the Apidae family, we have given a detailed classification of the Apidae family with its three subfamilies: Apinae, Xylocopinae and Nomadini. Our system is implemented completely in JAVA programming language using phpMyadmin as a database management system.

The current study was done to evaluate prevalence of mastitis in Lassi camel breed in Lasbela, Pakistan. A total of 100 camel cows were selected for milk sampling for isolation and identification of mastitis causing bacteria and biochemical tests. A questionnaire was used to know prevalence of mastitis associated with species, breed, age, parity, and udder hygiene condition, frequency of milking, practice of teat dipping, and feeding frequency of the camel cows. A t-test was used to anylyse the results and prevalence data was expressed in percentage. The total 43% prevalence of mastitis was observed in Lassi camel of ofLasbella district Balochistan, Pakistan. It was observed that prevalence of mastitis 38%, 41.18%, and 47.5% was increased with advancement in the age 4-7, 7-10, and above 10 years, respectively. It was also observed that some associated factors such as milking and feeding frequency, and udder hygine play important role in mastitis. During mastitis, significantly increased in fat, protein, total solids, solids not fat, and moisture contents, and pH and significantly declined in lactose indices was observed. Staphylococcus aureus species were dominantly found followed with Streptococcus agalactiea and Streptococcus dysagalctiea. This study will helpful to the local farmers and veterinarian regarding proper use of antimicrobial agents, and maintenance of udder hygiene to control mastitis in Lassi camel breed in Lasbela, Pakistan.

A decrease in cardiovascular event risk with a decrease in total and LDL – cholesterol level is termed as “cholesterol paradox” or “risk factor reversal”. Cardiovascular risk does not have a linear relationship between LDL – cholesterol levels, and other substantial risk factors of cardiovascular events are being disregarded.The aim of this study is, to identify modifiable risk factors of cardiovascular events other than those well proved to cause dyslipidemia. A cross-sectional study was conducted with 652 participants in a tertiary care hospital. Patients were grouped into two, based on the history of cardiovascular events. Demographics and patient responses captured using pre-validated questionnaires were analyzed. 5mL blood samples were collected by venipuncture and lipid profile was estimated. Association between cardiovascular events and explanatory variables. was determined using Chi square test and Odds ratio at 95% confidence intervals. Higher risk of CV events was found among smokers 0.232 [0.144 – 0.373]. Consumption of white sugar, refined oil, processed cold beverages and fast food products increased CV risk respectively. Moreover, total cholesterol, LDL-C and triglycerides were found to decrease after one year of counselling the patients. The classical hypothesis of dyslipidemia induced atherosclerosis may not be the predominant cause of CV events. Herein, we report no association between high fat diet and CV risk while we observed higher risk in consumers of refined and ultra processed food products. However, significant control of cholesterol was observed in patients who shifted to Unrefined food products.
