Abstract: This work is to measure certain biochemical parameters and to search the blood, intestinal and pinworm parasites, yeasts and foods parameters in type 1 diabetics and their siblings. The study population is constitute of 28 Type 1 diabetics (TD1) and 59 siblings aged between 5 to 21 years, including 41 boys and 46 girls, a sex ratio of 0.89. The mean age of T1D was 12.62 ± 2.75 years and the mean age of the siblings of diabetic’s patients was 12.13 ± 4.94 years. TD1 were recruited in C. H. U of Yopougon and Treichville and two NGOs of Côte d’Ivoire. The biochemical parameters were assayed at the laboratory of biochemistry of C. H. U Habib Bourguiba of SFAX, Tunisia. Research of Infectious and foods parameters was carried out Institute Pasteur of Côte d’Ivoire. Study takes place January 2014 to April 2016. Biochemical parameters carried out with Cobas 6000 (Roche / Hitachi). Infectious parameters research was done by direct and Ritchie simplified method, Kato test and scotch anal test. Foods parameters were researched by survey. Phosphorus value was three times greater than normal in certain siblings. There was no difference on the concentration of the biochemical parameters between TD1 and their siblings (p>0.05). There were presence of blood, intestinal, pinworms parasites and yeast in TD1 and their siblings and unbalanced diet (carbohydrate, protein and lipid) with their siblings (p<0.0001). TD1 and sibling should be dewormed. Sibling should have balanced diet to avoid clinic diabetes.

Abstract: The paper gave result findings for organic pollutants in onion plants cultivated along the bank of River Jakara Kano State. Samples of onions were purchased and harvested in farms cultivated in the banks of the aforementioned Rivers. Samples of onions were treated and analyzed in National Research and Institute for Chemical Technology (NARICT) Laboratory Zaria, Nigeria. Onion root samples analyzed has six (6) groups of organic pollutantsdetected with various percentage values. They include alkane (decane 10.6%, undecane 9.2%, dimethyl undecane, 2.3%, trimethyldecane 2.2%); alkyne (octadecyne, 1.9%); arene (aromadendrene, 2.3%); alkanol (phytol, 1.0%); fatty acid (hexadecanoic acid, 1.34%, linolenic acid, 1.7%); organosulphur (diphenyl cyclo propyl phenyl sulphoxide, 3.1%). While the onion control samples (collected from river Watari without activity) analyzed, gave one group of organic pollutants that is alkane group, they include docane (9.0%, 20.1%), methyl docane (9.2%, 12.8%), dodecane (4.0%, 8.6%), trimethylundecane (10.4%, 2.6%), octacosane (2.5%, 1.4%) and hexadecane (0.7%, 1.7%). The result of this study indicates that all the samples collected, examined and analyzed for onions (with exception of control samples) have percentage (%) values greater than threshold level recommended by World Health Organization (WHO) and National Environmental Standards and Regulations Enforcement Agency (NESREA), which is unsafe for human consumption.

Abstract: The present study was conducted with an aim to compare heavy metals (Cu, Zn, Cd and Pb) accumulation potential of some of the commonly grown vegetables like brinjal, cauliflower, spinach and coriander collected from different agricultural (production) and market sites of Katihar city. The accumulation of Cd, Pb, Cu and Zn in test vegetables was higher in market sites then those at all agricultural lands and elevated by 47.84, 64.84, 21.3, and 9.91% in brinjal, 36.19, 78.09, 21.83, and 6.50% in cauliflower, 34.52, 49.50, 9.1, and 9.97% in spinach and 27.86, 47.05, 10.34, and 6.13% in coriander, respectively and was observed maximum in brinjal (143.89%) followed by cauliflower (142.61%), spinach (103.09%), and coriander (91.38%). The population load index (PLI), transfer factor (TF), daily intake of metals (DIM) and health risk index (HRI) were also studied. The maximum value of PLI was found for Zn (35.06%) and minimum for Pb (0.178%) in soil collected from production sites. The TF of heavy metals in vegetable collected from market sites was found to be higher than vegetable collected from production sites and could be one of the possible reasons for health risk in human via their consumption. The average daily intake of Cd, Pb, Cu and Zn, by adults in vegetables collected from market sites were 5.38, 1.20, 4.606 and 0.336% of provisional tolerable daily intake. The HRI value of all individual vegetables was below 1.0. Therefore, it is suggested that regular monitoring of heavy metals in vegetables is essential to prevent excessive build-up of heavy metals in the food chain and appropriate precautions should also be taken at the time of transportation and marketing of vegetables.
