Asthma has been considered the most common chronic respiratory disease affecting children and is involved in .different diagnoses of acute bronchiolitis in first year of life Therefore, this research has been conducted to explore the relationship between asthma and bronchiolitis on known asthmatics aging from 6months old to 16 years old frequenting the asthma clinic Tripoli Children Hospital for .)regular follow ups for 3 months (January, February, and march of 2004 The aim of this study: To ascertain the percent (prevalence)of bronchiolitis patients who will develop]e asthma .symptoms later on Conclusively there has been a strong relationship between asthma and bronchiolitis in a way that bronchiolitis pre- .disposes to asthma in 53.5% of patients especially in whom had a family history of allergy

Measles, Mumps ,and rubella (MMR) are serious diseases that can lead potentially to disability and death. The study aimed to determine seroprevalence rates of antibody levels against MMR among Libyan children at school entry. This was a cross sectional study undertaken in Tripoli, from August to September 2016. Children of school-entry age (> 5 to ≤ 7 years) were randomly recruited at vaccination centers. Sera were tested for antibodies againstMMR. Data analyzed by SPSS program version 20. Out of 546 children, 290 were males. IgG antibodies against measles, mumps, and rubella were positive in 513 (94%), 436 (80%), 538 (98.5%) children, respectively. Seropositivity rates in Libyan children at school entry is protective and this is similar in so many other studies. This indicates that MMR vaccine program is effective in strengthening herd immunity in the Libyan community. arabic 19 English 111

Fungi are a huge source of unexplored bioactive compounds. Owing to their biological activities, several fungi have shown commercial application in the health industry. Tuber aestivum Vittad. is one such edible fungi with an immense scope for practical biological applications. In the present study, the anti-angiogenic activity of petroleum ether and ethanol extracts of T. aestivum was investigated using the chick chorioallantoic membrane assay and compared to the positive controls silibinin and lenalidomide. Both the extracts showed a dose-dependent anti-angiogenic response. The extracts were also assessed for their anti-inflammatory potential by lipoxygenase-inhibition assay. The IC50 values for LOX inhibition assay, computed by the Boltzmann plot, were 368.5, 147.3 and 40.2 μg/mL, for the petroleum ether extract, ethanol extract, and the positive control ascorbic acid, respectively. The ethanol extract of T. aestivum showed superior anti-angiogenic and anti-inflammatory activity than the petroleum ether extract. Compositional investigation of the extracts by GC–MS revealed the presence of various bioactive compounds. The compounds were correlated to their anti-angiogenic and antiinflammatory activity based on a meticulous literature search. arabic 25 English 145
