Background: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is associated with severe immune system complications. Camel whey protein (CWP) decreases free radicals (ROS) and modulates immune functions, but its effect on DM-impaired immune systems has not been studied. We investigated the impact of CWP on the immune system in a Type 1 diabetes mouse model. Methods: Three experimental groups were used: (1) non-diabetic control; (2) diabetic; and (3) CWPtreated diabetic mice. Results: Induction of diabetes by streptozotocin was associated with reduction of body weight and insulin level, increase in glucose level and pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α), and reduction in IL-2 and IL-4 levels. Upregulated ATF-3 expression was followed by a marked elevation in ROS levels. Lymphocytes from diabetic mice exhibited increased apoptosis through decreased phosphorylation of AKT and I

This study was carried out in the two growing seasons of 2008 and 2009. Five experiments were conducted in each season in the Experimental Agricultural Farm, Faculty of Agriculture, Assiut University. Each experiment represented one planting date. Through each experiment two variables were designed in split-plot design in which time of thinning was allotted in the main plots, whereas splitting NPK was in the sub-plots. The obtained results could be summarized as follows: 1-Total soluble carbohydrates, number of open bolls per plant, weight of seed cotton per boll in gram and Seed cotton yield of Kentar/fed were decreased significantly as planting date was delayed, On the contrary node number of the first sympodium was lowered. 2-The data revealed that thinning before the second irrigation favoured Plant height, total soluble carbohydrates, number of open bolls per plant, weight of seed cotton per boll and Seed cotton yield of March plantings, whereas the reverse was true with regard to the late plantings, i.e., thinning before first irrigation., On the contrary of that node number of the first sympodium was lowered in march plantings. 3-The data revealed that splitting fertilization increased significantly total soluble carbohydrates, number of open bolls per plant, weight of seed cotton per boll and Seed cotton yield. On the contrary of that node number of the first sympodium was lowered.

Abstract This paper reviews quantitative methods for educational and training needs assessment. The paper introduces a new simple approach for this purpose. The approach does not resort to the probability theory. Collected data as two bivariate distributions are tabulated using a five point Likert type scale. A proposed linear cell-weight is applied to each cell. A distribution index is proposed for measuring educational and training needs. The introduced scale is simple, positive, and finite (runs from 0 - 1). The technique is applied on data gathered locally. It contributes in education/ training needs assessment methods in the field of education and extension education.

تم الحصول علي عينات دم من عدد من المرضي وذويهم الاصحاء كلما أمكن بعد معرفة التاريخ المرضي لكل فرد واجراء الفحص الاكلينيكي للاذن والانف والحنجرة وكذا الاختبارات السمعية. وجري أستخلاص الحامض النووي DNA من دم خمسة عشر مريضا وسبعة من ذويهم الاصحاء ، وأجري التحليل بأستخدام طريقة RAPD لمعرفة الطرز الجينية المختلفة لهؤلاء الافراد. كما تم تحديد تتابع القواعد للتحري عن وجود طفرات لجين (كونكسين 26 ) لأحد عشر مريضا. أظهرت نتائج تحديد تتابع القواعد للجزئ الوراثي وجود طفرة فقدان القاعدة G35 في مريض واحد (بنسبة تقرب من 10%). وأمكن بأستخدام طريقة RAPD تقسيم المرضي إلي ثلاث مجموعات مما يرجح إحتمال وجود ثلاث طفرات تسبب ضعف السمع غير المتلازم في صعيد مصر. وأظهر التحليل وجود أربع حزم ظاهرة ببعض عينات المرضي غابت في أقاربهم الاصحاء ، وكذا وجود أربع حزم في الأقارب الأصحاء لم توجد في المرضي. وتوضح الدراسة إمكانية إستخدام طريقة RAPD في التشخيص المبكر لمرضي ضعف السمع الوراثي غير المتلازم.
