Abstract
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic synovial autoinflammatory disease that destructs the cartilage and bone, leading to disability. The functional regulation of major immunity-related pathways like nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB), which is involved in the chronic inflammatory reactions underlying the development of RA, remains to be explored. Therefore, this study has adopted statistical and knowledge-based systemic investigations (like gene correlation, semantic similarity, and topological parameters based on graph theory) to study the gene expression status of NF-κB protein family (NKPF) and its regulators in synovial tissues to trace the molecular pathways through which these regulators contribute to RA. A complex protein–protein interaction map (PPIM) of 2,742 genes and 37,032 interactions was constructed from differentially expressed genes (p ≤ 0.05). PPIM was further decomposed into a Regulator Allied Protein Interaction Network (RAPIN) based on the interaction between genes (5 NKPF, 31 seeds, 131 hubs, and 652 bottlenecks). Pathway network analysis has shown the RA-specific disturbances in the functional connectivity between seed genes (RIPK1, ATG7, TLR4, TNFRSF1A, KPNA1, CFLAR, SNW1, FOSB, PARVA, CX3CL1, and TRPC6) and NKPF members (RELA, RELB, NFKB2, and REL). Interestingly, these genes are known for their involvement in inflammation and immune system (signaling by interleukins, cytokine signaling in immune system, NOD-like receptor signaling, MAPK signaling, Toll-like receptor signaling, and TNF signaling) pathways connected to RA. This study, for the first time, reports that SNW1, along with other NK regulatory genes, plays an important role in RA pathogenesis and might act as potential biomarker for RA. Additionally, these genes might play important roles in RA pathogenesis, as well as facilitate the development of effective targeted therapies. Our integrative data analysis and network-based methods could accelerate the identification of novel drug targets for RA from high-throughput genomic data.

Abstract
Obesity is a multifactorial metabolic disorder characterized by low grade chronic inflammation. Rare and novel mutations in genes which are vital in several key pathways have been reported to alter the energy expenditure which regulates body weight. The TP53 or p53 gene plays a prominent role in regulating various metabolic activities such as glycolysis, lipolysis, and glycogen synthesis. Recent genome-wide association studies reported that tumor suppressor gene p53 variants play a critical role in the predisposition of type 2 diabetes and obesity. Till date, no reports are available from the Arabian population; hence the present study was intended to assess the association between p53 variants with risk of obesity development in the Saudi population. We have selected three p53 polymorphisms, rs1642785 (C > G), and rs9894946 (A > G), and rs1042522 (Pro72Arg; C > G) and assessed their association with obesity risk in the Saudi population. Phenotypic and biochemical parameters were also evaluated to check their association with p53 genotypes and obesity. Genotyping was carried out on 136 obese and 122 normal samples. We observed that there is significantly increased prevalence p52 Pro72Arg (rs1042522) polymorphism in obese persons when compared to controls at GG genotype in overall comparison (OR: 2.169, 95% CI: 1.086-4.334, p = 0.02716). Male obese subjects showed three-fold higher risk at GG genotype (OR: 3.275, 95% CI: 1.230-8.716, p = 0.01560) and two-fold risk at G allele (OR: 1.827, 95% CI: 1.128-2.958, p = 0.01388) of p53 variant Pro72Arg respectively. This variant has also shown significant influence on cholesterol, LDL level, and random insulin levels in obese subjects (p ≤ 0.05). In conclusion, p53 Pro72Arg variant is highly prevalent among obese individuals and may act as a genetic modifier for obesity development among Saudis.

Abstract
Data on environmental contamination of the parasites of zoonotic importance is scarce in Pakistan. Soil contamination with feces of dogs hide infective stages of the parasite represents a health-risk to humans. This study was aimed to assess the eggs of gastrointestinal parasites of stray dogs and household dogs in lower Dir district, Pakistan with special consideration to those that can be spread to humans. One hundred and fifty two stool specimens from (stray dogs=90 and household dogs=62) were collected. The helminth eggs were processed by direct smear method and centrifugation techniques and identified by microscopic examination. Of the total examined dogs 26.8% (n=41 /152) were found to be infected with one or more intestinal parasites. The intestinal helminths detected were Dipylidium caninum (n =18, 11.8%), followed by Toxocara canis (n =16, 10.5%), Taenia spp., (n=10, 6.57%) Ancylostoma caninum (n=6, 3.94), Toxascaris spp., Capillaria spp., and Trichuris vulpis (n=2, 1.31% each) in order of their prevalence. Pattern of infection revealed that 27 (65.8%) dogs have single, 13(31.7%) double and 1(2.43%) triple infection. The stray dogs were highly infected 34.4% (n=31) than house hold dogs 16.1% (n=10). The prevalence of infection with intestinal parasites was significantly different among these two groups (p = 0.0097). This study highlight a severe environmental contamination by frequent parasitic stages infectious to humans. There is a higher risk of zoonotic transmission from dogs which indicate an immediate need for the controlling of these parasites and educating the public to take wise action relating to the parasites and pets.

Abstract
AIMS The aim of this study was to evaluate the differences in revision and complication rates, functional outcomes, and radiological outcomes between cemented and press-fit humeral stems in primary anatomical total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA). MATERIALS AND METHODS A comprehensive systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted searching for studies that included patients who underwent primary anatomical TSA for primary osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis. RESULTS There was a total of 36 studies with 927 cemented humeral stems and 1555 press-fit stems. The revision rate was 5.4% (95% confidence interval (CI) 3.9 to 7.4) at a mean of 89 months for cemented stems, and 2.4% (95% CI 1.1 to 4.7) at a mean of 40 months for press-fit stems. A priori subgroup analysis to control for follow-up periods demonstrated similar revision rates: 2.3% (95% CI 1.1 to 4.7) for cemented stems versus 1.8% (95% CI 1.4 to 2.9) for press-fit stems. Exploratory meta-regression found that longer follow-up was a moderating variable for revision (p = 0.003). CONCLUSION Cement fixation had similar revision rates when compared to press-fit stems at short- to midterm follow-up. Rotator cuff pathology was a prevalent complication in both groups but is likely not related to fixation type. Overall, with comparable revision rates, possible easier revision, and decreased operative time, humeral press-fit fixation may be an optimal choice for primary anatomical TSA in patients with sufficient bone stock.

Abstract
Introduction: Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE), which contributes to
adipocyte growth, differentiation and function, has recently been linked
with both salt metabolism and obesity development. Therefore, this study has
aimed to investigate the putative relationship between ACE
genetic polymorphism, serum ACE levels and salt consumption
on the risk of developing obesity in the Saudi population. Materials and methods: ACE genotype status of 267 adult Saudi volunteers (124 obese
and 143 non-obese) was correlated with their serum ACE
activity and dietary salt intake amounts. Results: Obesity was more prevalent in deletion-deletion genotype individuals
(p<0.03), under dominant, co-dominant and
monoallelic conditions (p<0.04). Deletion allele
corresponds to serum ACE activity in obese patients
(p<0.05). The amount of salt intake (<6 g/d) was
significantly associated with obesity and particularly high in
deletion-deletion and insertion-deletion genotype carriers
(p<0.001). STITCH analysis underlined interactions
of the ACE protein with sodium molecule,
REN, ACE2, KNG1 and
AGTR1 in a biological network. Conclusions: Our findings suggest the positive association between ACE
deletion genotype, serum ACE activity and sodium intake
with risk of obesity development in the Saudi population.

Abstract
The extent of the economic burden of malaria and its imposed mechanisms are both relevant to public policy. This paper investigates the economic burden of malaria and household behaviour in relation to the treatment and prevention of the illness in Pakistan. In this regard, data were collected from a randomly selected sample of 360 households using structured questionnaires. The survey results indicate that 23.4% of household members contracted malaria during the three-month reference period. The average per person cost of malaria is estimated at 3116 Pakistani rupees (PKR) (USD 32). The estimated cost of the illness was found to be equivalent to, on average, 6.7% of monthly household income. Although high-income households face a higher financial burden due to better preventive and mitigation measures, the negative consequences hit low-income households harder due to liquidity constraints and poor access to effective treatment. We recommend that malaria control policies be integrated into development and poverty reduction programs.

Abstract
Background Eight-mm ablation catheters are widely used in cavotricuspid isthmus ablation (CTI) for treatment of right sided atrial flutter. However a high success rate, these large ablation tips comes with adisadvantage of lower resolution of fractionated signals. Purpose The aim of this study was to evaluate the additional diagnostic value of the electrograms recordedfrom mini electrodes (MEs) in an 8-mm ablation catheter tip during CTI. Methods CTI-ablation procedures were compared retrospectively in two groups, namely, group A: the Abbott Safire 8-mm tip with a 3D mapping system (n =37) and group B: the Boston Scientific MiFi IntellaTip XP 8-mm tip without a 3D mapping system (n=13). We analyzedacute procedural success, ablation characteristics and recurrence rate at one-year follow-up. Electrograms from MEs were analyzedright before the onset of the critical ablation application that resulted in acute CTI-block. We determined whether these ME electrograms had additional diagnostic value in addition to of the 8-mm tip derivedelectrogram. Results At the onset of the critical ablation application, the MEs had an important additional value in 3 out of 13 cases as local signals were sensed on the MEs that were not recorded by the 8-mm tip electrode. In 2cases the ME did not show local electrogramsalthough the ablationwas still effective. Acute procedural and long-term success wereobserved in all patients. No differences were found in time to bidirectional block, procedure time or fluoroscopic exposure. Conclusion Our data show that signals recorded from the MEs had additional diagnostic value, but only in asmall percentage of the patients. We did not observe, although omitting 3D-mapping in the ME group, any differencebetween groups with regard to procedural or ablation characteristicsduring CTI-ablation.

Abstract
Obesity is connected to the activation of chronic inflammatory pathways in both adipocytes and macrophages located in adipose tissues. The nuclear factor (NF)-κB is a central molecule involved in inflammatory pathways linked to the pathology of different complex metabolic disorders. Investigating the gene expression data in the adipose tissue would potentially unravel disease relevant gene interactions. The present study is aimed at creating a signature molecular network and at prioritizing the potential biomarkers interacting with NF-κB family of proteins in obesity using system biology approaches. The dataset GSE88837 associated with obesity was downloaded from Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. Statistical analysis represented the differential expression of a total of 2650 genes in adipose tissues (p = <0.05). Using concepts like correlation, semantic similarity, and theoretical graph parameters we narrowed down genes to a network of 23 genes strongly connected with NF-κB family with higher significance. Functional enrichment analysis revealed 21 of 23 target genes of NF-κB were found to have a critical role in the pathophysiology of obesity. Interestingly, GEM and PPP1R13L were predicted as novel genes which may act as potential target or biomarkers of obesity as they occur with other 21 target genes with known obesity relationship. Our study concludes that NF-κB and prioritized target genes regulate the inflammation in adipose tissues through several molecular signaling pathways like NF-κB, PI3K-Akt, glucocorticoid receptor regulatory network, angiogenesis and cytokine pathways. This integrated system biology approaches can be applied for elucidating functional protein interaction networks of NF-κB protein family in different complex diseases. Our integrative and network-based approach for finding therapeutic targets in genomic data could accelerate the identification of novel drug targets for obesity.
