“…This proves that washing with only water should be considered insufficient to effectively reduce L. monocytogenes populations on leafy vegetables. Although L. monocytogenes has the ability to tolerate a concentrated salt solution of up to 25% (Khan et al 2016), it does not mean that the salt solution does not perform its antibacterial activity on L. monocytogenes. In this study, 1 M of sodium chloride solution (WM3) produced a great L. monocytogenes reduction, approximately 1.37 log and 1.57 log on leaf mustard and iceberg lettuce in terms of the high-level contamination (7 log CFU g -1 ), respectively.…”

The efficacy of potable water and antimicrobial agents, including turmeric extract, black pepper extract, sodium chloride and sodium bicarbonate, in reducing Listeria monocytogenes on the leaf mustard (Brassica integrifolia) and iceberg lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) was compared. The uncontaminated samples of two raw leafy vegetables were inoculated with L. monocytogenes at a concentration of 5 log and 7 log colony-forming units (CFU) g–1 for 1 h. At the high L. monocytogenes contamination level, the treatment with black pepper extract 0.6 mg mL–1 for 5 min was found to produce the most considerable decrease in L. monocytogenes counts, resulting in 1.44 log and 1.68 log reduction on leaf mustard and iceberg lettuce, respectively. Similarly, the black pepper extract also showed the highest L. monocytogenes reduction, approximately 0.79 log CFU g–1 on two leafy vegetables at the low contamination level. However, the odour of black pepper extract was left on the vegetables after being washed.

“…Andrew Amstutz (2019) has shown the political and diplomatic concerns of Pakistani intellectual, I. H. Quraishi, centred on Buddhism and Gandhara in Pakistan. Others have also worked on nearly the same line with a focus on Dani (Khan & Shaheen 2015, 2017. But there is no specific study so far to illustrate Dani's preoccupation with Gandhara from nationalistic point of view.…”

“…Ahmad Hasan Dani's works and views about the uses of history and heritage in the context of modern nation states are interesting and vital to understand (Khan & Shaheen 2015). His perspectives on Gandhara in terms of the historicity of Pakistan and its sociopolitical utility need to be explored and understood for our present-day practical purposes, problems and concrete solutions.…”

Gandhara mesmerizes not only general public but Pakistani academics as well. Academic interest in Gandhara can be viewed as purely academic and historical or nationalist and economic. Ahmad Hasan Dani stands unique in this respect. His approach towards the utility of history and heritage in modern state politics is interesting and vital. This paper aims to explore his perspective on Gandhara with a focus on themes such as historical roots of Pakistan, place of heritage in national economy and cultural diplomacy across the entire Asia. This study connects to some recent works on Gandhara and Buddhism in Pakistan which focus on analyzing the politics of archaeology and heritage in Pakistani scholarship. In an interpretivist endeavor, Dani's ideas have either been quoted in original from his texts or reproduced in summarized form. What becomes obvious from the work is Dani's intellectual representation of Pakistan based on his life-long association with Gandhara.

The development of an effective therapeutic vaccine to induce cancer-specific immunity remains problematic. Recently, a species of intracellular pathogen known as Listeria monocytogenes (Lm) has been used to transfer DNA, RNA and proteins into tumour cells as well as elicit an immune response against tumour-specific antigens. Areas covered: Herein, the authors provide the mechanisms of different Listeria monocytogenes strains, which are potential therapeutic cancer vaccine vectors, in addition to their preclinical and clinical development. They also speculate on the future of Lm-based tumour immunotherapies. The article is based on literature published on PubMed and data reported in clinical trials. Expert opinion: Attenuated strains of Listeria monocytogenes have safely been applied as therapeutic bacterial vectors for the delivery of cancer vaccines. These vectors stimulate MHCI and MHCII pathways as well as the proliferation of antigen-specific T lymphocytes. Several preclinical studies have demonstrated the potency of Lm in intracellular gene and protein delivery in vitro and in vivo. They have also indicated safety and efficiacy in clinical trials. Readers should be aware that the ability of attenuated Lm strains to induce potent immune responses depends on the type of deleted or inactivated Lm virulent gene or genes.
