Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS: Water-pipe smoking (WPS) is popular in the Middle East and is starting to gain popularity in several Western countries as well. It is widely and erroneously perceived to be less harmful than other forms of tobacco use. The reproductive adverse effects of cigarette smoking have been studied before with conflicting results, but data on the possible adverse reproductive effects of WPS are lacking. Here, we assessed the effects of nose-only exposure to mainstream WPS generated by commercially available honey-flavored "moasel" tobacco in mice. METHODS: The duration of the session was 30 min/day for one month. Control mice were exposed to air. Twenty-four h after the last exposure, mice were killed and the testes and plasma removed for analysis. In testicular homogenates total protein, alkaline phosphatase activity, several indices of oxidative damage and Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Receptor 2 (VEGFR2) were quantified. The plasma concentrations of leptin, testosterone, estrogen and luteinizing hormone (LH) were also measured. Histological analysis of testes and lungs was also conducted. RESULTS: WPS caused statistically significant decreases in the plasma concentrations of leptin, testosterone, and LH, and in the concentrations of total protein and the antioxidant indices measured. A statistically non-significant decrease in VEGFR2 protein in the WPS--exposed mice compared to the control mice was also found. The body and testicular weights of mice exposed to WPS, as well as their testicular alkaline phosphatase activity and light microscopic histology, and plasma estrogen concentration were all not significantly affected by WPS. CONCLUSION: Further studies on the functional implications of these findings in mice exposed to WPS for longer durations are warranted.

Abstract
BACKGROUND: Tobacco use is one of the leading causes of preventable death across the world today and the smoking rates among men in the Arab world are amongst the highest in the world. Smoking of dokha, a traditional Arab tobacco is common in some of the Middle East countries such as the United Arab Emirates and Iran. This review focuses on the prevalence, pattern and health effects of dokha use in the Middle East. For this purpose an electronic search was performed in the following databases and websites: MEDLINE, EMBASE, Proquest and Google scholar up to December 2012. The search strategy was based on Internet search for the synonyms of dohka or midwakh. From the results of the review it emerged that younger people are the most common users of dokha. Hence effective outreach health education programs, targeting adolescents, especially school students before they take up the habit of smoking, may thus curb the emergence of the problem.

Abstract
BACKGROUND: Because respiratory muscle function plays a strong role in exercise capacity and cardiopulmonary response to exercise, systematic training and measurement of respiratory muscle function should be considered in stroke patients. The purpose of this study was to determine whether an individualized respiratory muscle training device combined with conventional physical therapy exercise can improve the pulmonary function and exercise capacity of stroke patients. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Twenty stroke patients were randomly assigned to an exercise group (n=10) or a control group (n=10). Over 4 weeks, each group participated in exercise training interventions 3 times per week. In each session, the control group received basic exercise treatments for 30 min, followed by an automated full-body workout for 20 min. The exercise group performed the same exercise regimen as the control group, as well as an additional respiratory muscle training regimen using a respiratory exercise device for 20 min. RESULTS: Pulmonary function of forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume at 1 s (FEV1), FEV1/FVC, and peak expiratory flow (PEF) and exercise capacity of a 6-min walking test and Shortness of Breath Modified Borg Dyspnea Scale (SBMBDS) scores were assessed before and after the training. A significant intergroup difference was observed in the FVC, FEV1, PEF, 6MWT, and SBMBDS scores (p

Abstract
A novel solid-phase microextraction(SPME) fiber was prepared using sol-gel technology with ethoxylated nonylphenol as a fiber coating material. The fiber was employed to develop a headspace SPME-GC-MS method suitable for quantification of 13 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in water samples. Surface characteristics of the fibers were inspected by energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectroscopy as well as by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The SEM measurements showed the presence of highly porous nano-sized particles in the coating. Important parameters affecting the extraction efficiency such as extraction temperature and time, desorption conditions as well as ionic strength have been evaluated and optimized. In the next step, the validation of the new method have been performed, finding it to be specific in the trace analysis of PAHs, with the limit of detection (LOD) ranging from 0.01 to 0.5 mug L(-1) and the linear range from the respective LOD to 200 mug L(-1) with RSD amounting to less than 8%. The thermal stability of the fibers was investigated as well and they were found to be durable at 280 degrees C for 345 min. Furthermore, the proposed method was successfully applied for quantification of PAHs in real water samples.

Abstract
The title compounds, C13H13N3O2S.0.5H2O, (I), and C17H14ClN3OS, (II), are hydrazinecarbo-thio-amide derivatives. Compound (I) crystallizes with two independent mol-ecules (A and B) and a water mol-ecule of crystallization in the asymmetric unit. The chromene moiety is essentially planar in mol-ecules A and B, with maximum deviations of 0.028 (3) and 0.016 (3) A, respectively, for the carbonyl C atoms. In (II), the pyran ring of the chromene moiety adopts a screw-boat conformation and the phenyl ring is inclined by 61.18 (9) degrees to its mean plane. In the crystal of (I), bifurcated N-Hcdots, three dots, centeredO and C-Hcdots, three dots, centeredO hydrogen bonds link the two independent mol-ecules forming A-B dimers with two R 2 (1)(6) ring motifs, and R 2 (2)(10) and R 2 (2)(14) ring motifs. In addition to these, the water mol-ecule forms tetra-furcated hydrogen bonds which alternately generate R 4 (4)(12) and R 6 (6)(22) graph-set ring motifs. There are also pi-pi [inter-centroid distances = 3.5648 (14) and 3.6825 (15) A] inter-actions present, leading to the formation of columns along the c-axis direction. In the crystal of (II), mol-ecules are linked by pairs of N-Hcdots, three dots, centeredS hydrogen bonds, forming inversion dimers with an R 2 (2)(8) ring motif. The dimers are linked by C-Hcdots, three dots, centeredpi inter-actions, forming ribbons lying parallel to (210).

Abstract
In the title compound, C33H27BrClNO4, the di-hydro-pyridine ring adopts a flattened boat conformation. The mol-ecular conformation is stabilized by an intra-molecular O-Hcdots, three dots, centeredO hydrogen bond, with an S(8) ring motif. In the crystal, O-Hcdots, three dots, centeredO, C-Hcdots, three dots, centeredO and C-Hcdots, three dots, centeredCl hydrogen bonds, and C-Hcdots, three dots, centeredpi inter-actions link the mol-ecules, forming a three-dimensional network. In the acridinedione ring system, the two ring C atoms at the 2- and 3-positions, and the C atom at the 6-position and the atoms of the phenyl ring attached to the C atom at the 6-position are disordered over two sets of sites with occupancy ratios of 0.783 (5):0.217 (5) and 0.526 (18):0.474 (18), respectively.

Abstract
The title compound, C9H10N4OS.0.5H2O, crystallizes with two independent mol-ecules (A and B) in the asymmetric unit, together with a water mol-ecule of crystallization. The acetamide moiety, which has an extended conformation, is inclined to the pyridine ring by 7.95 (16) degrees in mol-ecule A and by 1.77 (16) degrees in mol-ecule B. In the crystal, the A and B mol-ecules are linked by two N-Hcdots, three dots, centeredOcarbon-yl hydrogen bonds, forming a dimer. The dimers are linked via N-Hcdots, three dots, centeredN hydrogen bonds, forming ribbons that are linked by N-Hcdots, three dots, centeredOwater hydrogen bonds to form sheets parallel to (110). The sheets are linked by O-Hcdots, three dots, centeredN hydrogen bonds, forming slabs, and between the slabs there are weak slipped parallel pi-pi inter-actions [inter-centroid distance = 3.734 (2) A, inter-planar distance = 3.3505 (11) A and slippage = 1.648 A], forming a three-dimensional structure.

Abstract
BACKGROUND: Studies of the lung function profiles of exclusive narghile smokers (ENS) are few, have some methodological limits, and present contradictory conclusions. The present study aimed to compare the plethysmographic profiles of ENS with age- and height-matched exclusive cigarette smokers (ECS). METHODS: Males aged 35-60 living in Sousse, Tunisia, who have been smoking narghile exclusively for more than 10 narghile-years (n = 36) or cigarettes exclusively for more than 10 pack-years (n = 106) were recruited to participate in this case-control study. The anthropometric and plethysmographic data were measured according to international recommendations using a body plethysmograph (ZAN 500 Body II, Mebetagrerate GmbH, Germany). Large-airway-obstructive-ventilatory-defect (LAOVD) was defined as: first second forced expiratory volume/forced vital capacity (FEV1/FVC) below the lower-limit-of-normal (LLN). Restrictive-ventilatory-defect (RVD) was defined as total lung capacity upper-limit-of-normal. Student t-test and chi(2) test were used to compare plethysmographic data and profiles of the two groups. RESULTS: The subjects in the ENS and ECS groups are well matched in age (45+/-7 vs. 47+/-5 years) and height (1.73+/-0.06 vs. 1.72+/-0.06 m) and used similar quantities of tobacco (36+/-22 narghile-years vs. 35+/-19 pack-years). Compared to the ENS group, the ECS group had significantly lower FEV1 (84+/-12 vs. 60+/-21%), FVC (90+/-12 vs. 76+/-18%), and FEV1/FVC (99+/-7 vs. 83+/-17%). The two groups had similar percentages of RVD (31 vs. 36%), while the ECS group had a significantly higher percentage of LAOVD (8 vs. 58%) and lung hyperinflation (36 vs.57%). CONCLUSION: Chronic exclusive narghile smoking has less adverse effects on pulmonary function tests than chronic exclusive cigarette smoking.
