The impact of a fish sanctuary on fisheries diversity was studied for two years in Chalan Beel, Tarash Upazila, Sirajganj district, where the sanctuary was established at the end of the first year. Seine net (Berjal) was used to collect data on a monthly basis. There were 42 species recorded from 8 orders and 18 families, including two exotic species, Cyprinus carpiro and Oreochromis mossambicus. Puntius puntio was the most common species (18.38%), followed by Colisa fasciata (9.73%) and Chanda nama (9.28%). The order Cypriniformes (16 species) was discovered to be the dominant order, accounting for 47.78% of the total order, followed by Perciformes (22.85%) and Siluriformes (21.40%). The Shannon-Weaver diversity index (H) ranged between 2.26 and 2.66. The average value was higher (2.53) after the sanctuary was established than before (2.39). The impact of the fish sanctuary may have resulted in an increase in the biodiversity index and total catch. As a result, sanctuary establishment can be expanded to address the gradual improvement of fisheries diversity. J Bio-Sci. 30(1): 61-68, 2022 (June)

The purpose of this study was to evaluate a randomized control trial protocol to assess the effectiveness of an oral care protocol on chemotherapy- and/ or radiation therapy-induced oral complications in cancer patients. It was a randomized, outcome assessor blinded study. Patients were randomly allotted to a control and intervention group. Out of 68 patients 25 patients were treated only by radiotherapy, 32 patients were treated only by chemotherapy and 11 patients received both radio and chemotherapy. Most of the patients developed sensitivity, altered taste, oral thrush, mucositis, trismus and xerostemia during and after palliative treatment. Here patients having pain during therapy 22.01% and 30.09% before therapy, patients had a change of taste after therapy86.8% and 63.2% had a change of taste during therapy, patients had developed mucositis before therapy 4.4% and 64.7% had developed mucisitis during therapy, patients had developed trismus before therapy 8.8% and 42.6% had developed trismus during therapy. Here most of the respondents had inadequate knowledge and practice about oral care but there was no correlation between family histories of cancer. Under this study 27 staff nurses were working in radiation/chemotherapy oncology areas from the tertiary levels of hospitals. Here 51.3% nurses had a very poor knowledge regarding oral care and the major (81.0%) groups of them were suggested for training in the specific area. On the basis of survey report the respondent groups of nurses provided information are the main source of oral care information. The association between selected demographic factors data on age and education were also recorded. The result shows there was no correlation between family history of cancer patients and enough knowledge of the respondent groups. From this study it may be suggested that proper knowledge should be provided to the peoples to prevent major oral diseases specially for cancer in future in Bangladesh.

The present study evaluated the potentiality of cage culture of stinging catfish (Heteropneustes fossilis) under different feeding regimes. Fish experiments were consists of three treatments (T1, T2 and T3), each with three replicates, and lasted for 90 days. The stocking density was 300 fry (~1.5 g) per cage. Fish were given commercial floating feed (28% crude protein) twice daily (in the morning and evening) at 5% (T1), 7% (T2) and 9% (T3) of body weight. Water quality parameters were monitored fortnightly. Mean values of water quality showed no significant difference among the treatments. Survival of stinging catfish was comparatively higher with T2 (83.1%) compared to T1 (81.6%) and T3 (79.3%). The specific growth rate was significantly higher in fish reared underT2 treatment than T1 and T3, corresponding to 1.91, 1.85 and 1.87% bwd-1, respectively. The net yield was also highest with T2 (1.74 kg) than those with T1 (1.57 kg) and T3 (1.60 kg). These data together with cost-benefit analysis among three treatments suggests that 7% feeding rate positively influence growth and production offish. Therefore, a daily feeding at 7% of body weight can be suitable for culturing stinging catfish in cages. J Bio-Sci. 30(1): 01-09, 2022 (June)

The prevalence of prostatic carcinoma is the outcome of several factors including improved awareness the general population of the significance of carcinoma of the prostate and progresses in diagnostic approaches. The PSA is a probable prostate cancer tumor marker, although it cannot distinguish prostate cancer from BPH solely. To assess the usefulness of free, total, and free/total PSA ratios in differentiating BPH and prostate cancer has been studied under this research work. The work was carried out at RMCH during April 2021 to March 2022, 350 purposively selected urology outpatients and inpatients at RMCH were studied cross-sectional study. Trans-rectal ultrasound (TRUS) and serum PSA levels were analyzed along with Digital rectal examination (DRE). A digital guided prostatic biopsy using a monopty biopsy gun confirmed the diagnosis. Data analysis was done in SPSS 26 software program. Prostatic cancer was more prevalent in men aged 70-80, whereas BPH was more common in men aged 60-70 (p = 0.00032). Histopathology revealed 95 prostate cancer patients, 82 with PSA >4 ng/ml and 85 patients had f/t PSA ratio>0.16. BPH was found in 255 individuals. 139 BPH patients had total PSA >4 ng/ml and 245 BPH patients had f/t PSA ratio ≤0.16. Total PSA had sensitivity and specificity of 86.32% and 45.49%, respectively, lower than f/t ratio. The (Positive predictive value) PPV and accuracy was significantly higher in f/t ratio than total PSA. Along with total PSA, free and free/total PSA ratio may help detect prostate cancer early and distinguish BPH from prostate cancer. J Bio-Sci. 30(1): 79-89, 2022 (June)

Strawberry leaf blight is one of the devastating fungal diseases, responsible for reducing the quality of strawberry production worldwide. The present experiment was conducted to determine the pathogenic fungal association with strawberry leaves obtained from the experimental site of Botanical Garden, Jahangirnagar University, Bangladesh. A fungal pathogen causing leaf blight disease of the strawberry plant was detected as Fusarium fujikuroi species complex through classical and molecular approaches. Molecular characterization showed that nucleotide sequences of the internal transcribed region of the studied fungus (MH368119.1) were genetically identical with Fusarium fujikuroi species complex. Different culture media, pH, light regimes, temperatures were assayed to know the growth pattern of the identified pathogenic fungus. The optimum vegetative growth of Fusarium fujikuroi species complex was recorded on Potato Dextrose Agar, Potato Sucrose Agar, and Honey Peptone Agar media, at 25°C temperature, pH seven and under complete dark conditions. Among the three antagonistic fungi for the assessment as a biocontrol agent, Trichoderma asperellum was comparative effective against Fusarium fujikuroi species complex under in vitro conditions. Among systemic chemical fungicides, the highest mycelial inhibition (89.42%) of the isolated fungus was found by Tilt 250 EC (500 ppm). The leaf blight of strawberry caused by Fusarium fujikuroi species complex is the new record in Bangladesh. J Bio-Sci. 30(1): 11-20, 2022 (June)

Proper management and selection of a single drug or multiple drugs for the treatment of diabetes is very important. The choice of treatment depends on a number of factors. With the proper treatment, the state of diabetes can be managed very smoothly. The main objective of this study was to compare the efficacy of insulin, biguanides and sulfonylurea on HbA1C in diabetic patients. This interventional type of study was carried out among 102 diabetic patients attending at different hospitals in Rajshahi of Bangladesh. In this case purposive sampling technique was followed and data revealed that mean age of the patients was 45.98±11.23 years and most of them (35.30) were housewife. Among the insulin receiving group, 41.18% were male and 58.82% were female. In case of the biguanide receiving taking group 44.12% were male and 55.88% were female while for the sulfonylurea receiving group 35.29% were male and 64.71% were female. Regarding body mass index (BMI) among the respondents, it was found that 0.98% had BMI <18.50 kg/m2, led sedentary lifestyle (65.7%), most of them were from urban area (67.6%) and non-smoker (86.0%) with family history of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) (17.0%). In the insulin receiving group, 82.35% had desired glycemic control; in the biguanide receiving group, 73.53% had desired glycemic control; and in the sulfonylurea receiving group, 64.71% had desired glycemic control. Data shows that the insulin receiving patients had relatively better glycemic control as compared to the other two mendicant receiving groups at 6th month. This finding suggests that the selection of the best drug is the most key part of the treatment of T2DM. Therefore, this study would help to select the best choice of drug for the treatment of diabetes in Bangladesh. J Bio-Sci. 30(1): 123-130, 2022 (June)

In thelypterids, interphase chromosomes of Ampelopteris prolifera were accompanied by two or three nucleoli. One nucleolus was seen floating outside the nucleus while other remained attached with the nucleus in annular cells of Christella arida. The mean of chromocentres determined in Adiantum species ranged from 49.8 to 53.6, whereas, it ranged from 46.6 to 49.5 in Pteris species. On the other hand, the value for chromocentres ranged from 62.5 to 123.5 in thelypterids. Nuclear organization was observed to be chromocentric type. In case of interphase nuclear volume it was observed that in Adiantum it was highest in A. capillus-veneris followed by A. caudatum and A. lunulatum, in Pteris it was highest in P. biaurita followed by P. vittata and P. griffithi, and in case of thelypterids, it was highest in C. dantata followed by C. Cylindrothix, A. Prolifera and C. arida. J. Bio-Sci. 29(2): 93-98, 2021 (December)

On the other hand, the value for chromocentres ranged from 62.5 to 123.5 in thelypterids. Nuclear organization was observed to be chromocentric type. In case of interphase nuclear volume it was observed that in Adiantum it was highest in A. capillus-veneris followed by A. caudatum and A. lunulatum, in Pteris it was highest in P. biaurita followed by P. vittata and P. griffithi, and in case of thelypterids, it was highest in C. dantata followed by C.

The present study is illustrated complete morphometric and meristic characteristics of fresh water fish, walking snakehead, Channa orientalis (Bloch & Schneider 1801), using nine linear dimensions and covering different fin-rays (i.e., dorsal fin, D; pectoral fin, P1; pelvic fin, P2; anal fin, A and caudal fin,C) from the wetland ecosystem Gajnar Beel in northwestern (NW) Bangladesh. Total 230 specimens of C. orientalis were collected from the Gajnar Beel in the time of January to December 2018 by several local fishing gears (e.g., cast net, gill net and square lift net (mesh size ranges: 1.5 - 2.5 cm, 1.5 - 2.0 cm, & ~2.0 cm, respectively). Different morphometric lengths were measured to 0.01 cm, and whole body weight (BW) was estimated 0.01 g for each individual. Fin rays and scales (including lateral line scale) were computed by a magnifying glass. All LWRs were highly significant (p<0.0001) with the r2 values ≥0.978. Based on r2 value, LWR by BW vs. TL was the best fitted model among nine equations. However, the LLRs were also significant with r2 values ≥0.992. According to r2 value, LLR by TL vs. SL (TL = a + b × SL) shown the best fitted model among eight equations. The fin formula of C. orientalis is: dorsal: D. 29-35; Pectoral, P1. 12-14; Pelvic, P2. 5-6; Anal, A. 20-22; Caudal, C. 12-14. A double lateral line is present which continued with 12-13 scales in the first line and 26-28 scales in other line. The present study will be helpful for the species identification and resource management of C. orientalis in the Gajner Beel NW Bangladesh and other sub-tropical countries. J.
