  Major, Minor and Trace Elements  Linum Usitatissimum  in Libya Abstract In this study the plant Linum usitatissimum Linn. which belong to linaceae family, it is one of the most ancient crops cultivated in Egypt. ItN is also cultivated in Libya as an oil seed plant. The results shown high the concentration in K (9422±1.01), Ca (4621±4.73), Na (1901±0.58), Mn (25.59±3.38), Cu (16.93±3.48), in HNO3+HClO4. Ni (7.96±7.29), Pb (21.41±4.76) in HNO 3 +H 2 O 2 . And Mg (3471±3.36), Zn (36.24±2.38), Li (11.43±0.50) in dry ashing. While Not detection in Cr, Co, Cd. The results obtained shown that was a Linum usitatissimum., a good source of food and therapeutic agents which could be of use food and pharmaceutical industries, information about the chemical composition of the oil could then be useful in the classification of this plant. Keywords:  Linum usitatissimum ; Minor; Trace elements; Libya Introduction Plants used in traditional medicine contain a wide range of ingredie...

  Evaluation of Antifungal Activity of Nine Members of Family  Euphorbiaceae  of Lahore Region against  Aspergillus niger, Rhizopus oryzae  &  Alternaria solani Abstract Present research was undertaken to analyze the antifungal potential of nine members of family Euphorbiaceae of Lahore region against three pathogenic fungi i.e. Aspergillus niger, Rhizopus oryzae & Alternaria solani. Methanolic Leaf extracts were used for assessing the phytopathogenic activities of all the nine members of Family Euphorbiaceae via well diffusion method. All the plant extracts have showed significant results against two pathogenic fungi at all the four dose ranges (32.12μg/ml, 62.5μg/ml, 125μg/ml, 250μg/ml) used in the experiment while no results were observed against Alternaria solani. Maximum results were observed at 250 μg/ml, zone of inhibition was found in the following order  Euphorbia helioscopia> Ricinus communis> Phyllanthus emblica> Croton tigl...

  Developments in CRM 197  Glycoconjugates for Anticancer Vaccines Abstract Glycoconjugate vaccines that utilize cross reactive material  197  (CRM 197 ) as an immunogenic carrier have shown clinical success against bacterial pathogens such as Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib), Streptococcus pneumoniae, and Neisseria meningitidis. However, the translation of glycoconjugate vaccine strategies towards cancer has had limited clinical success. Preclinical efforts focused on tumor associated carbohydrate antigen (TACA)-CRM 197  conjugates include the Globo H, RM2, Thomsen-nouveau (Tn), Thomsen-Friedenreich (TF), and sialylated Thomsen-nouveau (STn) antigens. These collective efforts have shown robust conjugation chemistry and efficacious immune responses. The immune response towards these CRM 197  conjugates produced Gaussian-like distributions as a function of dose, with a maximum response at dosages in the low to medium range. This phenomenon suggests a tole...
