وثيقة اخلاقيات لبحث لعلمي

ا كان لإلنسان أن يخطو، يف فترة وجيزة تقارب القرن من الزمن، هذه اخلطوات العمالقة يف مجال العلوم واملعرفة، بدون البحث العلمي الرصني الذي يعتمد الطريقة العلمية يف التفكير، وليس غريبا أن تكون إحدى أهم ركائز تصنيف اجلامعات العاملية مدى قدرة اجلامعة على اإلسهام الفاعل يف إثراء املعرفة االنسانية من خالل ما جتريه من بحوث. وانطالقا من اإلحساس مبسؤولياتها، ويف سبيل السعي إلى احلصول على موطأ قدم لها بني جامعات العالم، شكلت جامعة طرابلس جلنة من أساتذتها؛ لوضع مشروع وثيقة ألخالقيات البحث العلمي داخلها تلزم باحثيها اتباع االشتراطات، واملعايير، واملتطلبات األخالقية املنبثقة أس�اس�ا م�ن املفاهيم وامل�ب�ادئ العليا التي تقوم عليها املجتمعات، وتقرها الديانات واألعراف والتشريعات والثقافة واملواثيق الدولية ذات العالقة والتي تضبط وتنظم السلوك اإلنساني وتصنف املمارسات واألفعال والعالقات والسياسات، فيما إذا كانت مقبولة، أو غير مقبولة، ولتحافظ على أعلى مستوى ممكن من الشفافية واملصداقية يف العملية البحثية.

• Activity of Honey and Propolis on Bacteria Isolated from Diabetic Foot.

Aims: Diabetic foot ulcer is a significant complication of diabetes mellitus and often proceed lower extremely amputation. Propolis is a naturally occurring anti-inflammatory bee derived protectant resin. Previously, topically applied propolis has been reported to reduce inflammation and improves cutaneous ulcer healing in diabetic rodents. This study aimed to determine the Libyan honey and propolis activity and honey against bacteria isolated from diabetic foot ulcer lesion Study Design: In vitro antimicrobial activities of honey and crude hexane and methanolic extract of Libyan propolis against bacteria isolated from diabetic foot ulcer lesion Place and Duration of Study: Samples collected from patient in Tripoli Iben Nafees Hospital using disc and agar diffusion method. Methodology: Disk diffusion method on groups of aerobic and anaerobic bacteria were obtained from diabetic foot lesion. Results: The result showed that the percentage of aerobic bacteria isolated from diabetic lesion was about 74%, which include MRSA, E. coli, Ps. aeruginose, Citrobacter, Pantoea, Proteus, Staphylococcus epidermis, Enterobacter and Serratia bacteria. Whereas anaerobic bacteria reported about 26% of Clostridium, Bacteroides, and Lactobacillus Jensenii. Conclusion: It was concluded that the honey and propolis extract had antibacterial activity against a different type of aerobic and anaerobic bacteria that were isolated from diabetic foot ulcer lesion.

Screening of Toxoplasma gondii antibodies and Risk factors among Patients in Asabieh City, Libya

Toxoplasmosis is a zoonotic disease caused by Toxoplasma gondii. Risk factors include consumption of undercooked meat, raw vegetables, and unfiltered water. Aim: This study aims to screen antibodies titer in toxoplasmosis positive patients in Asabieh city in Libya and to screen risk factors associated with infection in this area. Study design: Data were collected using a cross-sectional design. Study Duration and Location: Data were collected from patients of different ages and gendersattending Ali Omar Ascar hospital, Asabieh, during the period of January 2017 to January 2018. Methodology: A single blood sample was collected from 150 patients and spun at 3000 rpm to obtain serum. The serum samples were analysedto detect anti-Toxoplasma IgG and IgM antibodies using enzyme linked immunosorbant assay (ELISA, BioChec) kit according to manufacturer’s instructions. A self-structured questionnaire was used to obtain information on farm animal’s contact, the process of vegetables washing, meatcooking, Water resource and raw water consumption. Results: The total seroprevalence of toxoplasmosis was 78.6%,out of which IgG and IgM were 68%, and 77.4% respectively. Several risk factors were identified, including daily contact with farm animals (82.6% were +ve, P = .0.01), unfiltered water (61.3% were +ve; P = 0.003). Conclusion: asabieh area showed a high prevalence of toxoplasmosis, and many environmental risk factors associated with the infection as animal hosts, human lifestyle were also identified, that could help to reduce the risk of spreading and transmission of infection among the populations in the future.
