Study discusses the genetic basis for familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) in some Libyan patients at Tripoli city, examining the distribution of variants that associated with mutations in exon 12 of low density lipoprotein receptor (LDL-R) gene on chromosome 19. Genetic analysis were done using polymerases chain reaction-single strand conformation polymorphism (PCR-SSCP) based on DNA technique, to detect splicing defects of the LDL-R gene in exon 12 on chromosome 19, among some Libyans patients probably have heterozygous familial hypercholesterol-emia (HeFH). The patient’svolunteer’s participants in this study were from Tajjora National Cardiac Center, Endocrine and Diabetic Hospital in Tripoli. The study showed the presence of the splicing defects (1845 +11 C>G)in the exon 12 of the LDL-R gene on chromosome 19 in patients with hyperchol-esterolemia and ischemic heart disease, as they have family history in hypercholesterolemia and other secondary causes to heart disease such as diabetic, hypertension, chest pain, and obesity. Frequency of HeFH Libyan patients was (0.86%), and the significant of statistical analysis were{p-value>0.05}, which considered high according to clinical diagnostic criteria for HeFH. As well as detection the single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) (1773C>T) that alter the exon splicing efficiency, because it is associated with an emerging of the functional genetic variants for mutations in exon-12, where results of molecular diagnosis confirmed that occurrence the mutation of (LDL-R gene) relates to premature coronary artery diseases(P-CAD). arabic 35 English 137

شملت الدراسة مجموعة من تلاميذ إحدى المدارس الابتدائية في منطقة سوق الجمعة\ طرابلس في الفترة مابين شهري (يناير- فبراير)، وتم استهداف91 عينة تعود لـ 46 تلميذ من الذكور و45 تلميذة من الإناث تراوحت أعمارهم ما بين 7-10 سنوات، وذلك لغرض التعرف على الفطريات المصاحبة لشعر(فروة) الرأس، وتم التعرف على أربعة عشر من الفطريات التي تنتمي إلى تحت الأقسام (Sub Divisions) الآتية: Zygomycotina(1)، Ascomycotina(2)، Deuteromycotina(11)، وكانت أكثر الفطريات شيوعاً عند الأطفال (التلاميذ) هو فطر Candida albicans ( 37.36%) ثم يليه كلاً من فطر P.chrysogenum و A. alternate وCladosporium sp. ( 24.18%) لكل منهم. كان أكثر الفطريات شيوعاً عند الأطفال (التلاميذ) من الإناث فطرA. Alternate (35.56%) يليه فطر P.chrysogenum (26.67%)، بينما في الأطفال (التلاميذ) من الذكور فكان الفطر الأكثر شيوعاً فطر Candida albicans (54.35%) ويليه فطر Cladosporium sp. (30.43%). arabic 80 English 0

Bidong Island is one of the least known islands in terms of birds; very few surveys have been conducted on this island. The island is part of a small archipelago called Bidong Laut, located to the northwest of Kuala Terengganu, on the east coast of Peninsular Malaysia. A total count of 30 bird species, from 19 families and 25 genera were found on this island between 2006 and 2020. Collected data (nine days) were analysed for biodiversity indices. Alpha diversity indices showed variations among sampling years, Simpson 1-D range 0.76–0.89; Shannon (H) range 1.74–2.48; species richness 8–16 species; dominance (D) range 0.11–0.24. Species richness estimators indicate that more species can be added with additional sampling and better coverage of the island area. The relatively low avian species richness compared to other east coast islands is discussed. Further surveys during migration season can reveal the importance of this island as a stop over site for several migratory species.
