    Abstract Background: Although androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) for prostate cancer demonstrates improved overall and disease-free survival, it is associated with adverse effects such as obesity and metabolic syndrome that increase risk of cardiometabolic disease and diabetes type 2. ADT also leads to fatigue, depression and erectile dysfunction, which reduce quality of life (QoL). Lifestyle modification has shown promise in reducing obesity, metabolic syndrome and diabetes type 2 in other disease types. However, there is a paucity of data regarding the utility of lifestyle modification in men receiving ADT for prostate cancer.
    Methods: The primary aim of the Comprehensive Lifestyle Improvement Program for Prostate Cancer-2 (CLIPP2) is to test the feasibility of conducting a 24-week lifestyle modification intervention in men on ADT for prostate cancer. Additionally, it will also determine the effect of this intervention on weight loss, cardiometabolic markers (secondary aim and markers of interest: serum glucose, insulin resistance, hemoglobin A1C and lipid panel), and QoL (tertiary aim). The intervention will be delivered weekly via telephone for the first 10 weeks and bi-weekly for the remaining 14 weeks. Questionnaires and serum samples will be collected at baseline, week 12, and week 24. Anthropometric measurements will be collected at baseline, week 6, week 12, week 18 and week 24.
    Results: We hypothesize that the CLIPP2 intervention will produce a 7% weight loss that will result in improved markers associated with cardiometabolic disease and type 2 diabetes in the study population.
    Conclusion: Results will provide insight into the role of lifestyle modification in addressing ADT adverse effects as well as provide preliminary data to inform the development of future lifestyle interventions in this area.

    Abstract Background: Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) for prostate cancer is associated with adverse effects, such as obesity and metabolic syndrome, which increase cardiovascular risk, the most common cause of non-cancer mortality in men diagnosed with prostate cancer. The Comprehensive Lifestyle Improvement Program for Prostate Cancer (CLIPP) was created to determine the feasibility of conducing a comprehensive lifestyle modification intervention in men on ADT for prostate cancer and determine its early efficacy in reducing obesity and metabolic syndrome.
    Methods: A single-arm, open-label clinical trial was conducted by recruiting 31 men diagnosed with prostate cancer and exposed to ADT within the last 5 years. A multicomponent lifestyle modification program was delivered weekly for 16 weeks by a trained health coach. This was followed by 8 weeks of passive follow-up resulting in a total trial duration of 24 weeks. Feasibility was determined by calculating study recruitment, retention, and adherence rates. Weight and components of metabolic syndrome (waist circumference, triglycerides (TG), high-density lipoprotein (HDL), serum glucose, and blood pressure (BP)) were measured at baseline, 12, and 24 weeks.
    Results: Recruitment, retention, and adherence rates were 47.1%, 90.3%, and 100%, respectively. Statistically significant improvements were noted between baseline and end of study measurements for weight (206.3 vs. 191.3 lbs, p < 0.001), waist (41.3 vs. 38.8 inches, p < 0.001), systolic BP (144.1 vs. 133.4 mm of Hg, p = 0.014), diastolic BP (83.3 vs. 76.2 mm of Hg, p = 0.0056), TG (146.0 vs. 113.8 mg/dl, p = 0.022), HDL (51.1 vs. 55.0 mg/dl, p = 0.012), and serum glucose (114.0 vs. 103.2 mg/dl, p = 0.013).
    Conclusion: CLIPP demonstrates feasibility and early efficacy of a multicomponent lifestyle modification intervention toward addressing obesity as well as components of metabolic syndrome in men on ADT for prostate cancer. This study provides strong preliminary data to develop future clinical trials in this population.

    Abstract Field experiments were conducted for two consecutive seasons (1999/00 and 2000/0 I) in the experimental farm of the Gezira Research Station (Agricultural Research Corporation Wad Medani, Sudan), to study the effect of nitrogen, Bradyrhizobium inoculation, chicken manure(CM) and inoculation plus chicken manure on growth and yield of guar under irrigation. Four Bradyrhizobium strains were used in this study: USDA 3089, USDA 3385, USDA 3386 and ENRRI 16 A and two levels of chicken manure 5 and l00 t haE-1. Results showed that the treatments containing Bradyrhizobium strains and CM significantly increased plant height, shoot dry weight, yield, and P and nitrogen percentages. Bradyrhizobium inoculation significantly increased plant height, shoot dry weight and pod dry weight. Sole CM treatments significantly increased shoot dry weight, pod dry weight, plant height, seed yield and seed P percent. Nitrogen application showed similar results to that of CM except that nitrogen had no significant effect on seed P percent

    Abstract Two pot experiments were raised in the nursery of the Forestry Research Section, Gezira Research Station, Wad Medani, Sudan, with objective to study the effects of soil moisture, salinity and Rhizobium inoculation on growth performance, nodulation and N2-fixation of Acacia polycantha, A. seyal and A. mellifera. The soil moisture levels used in the study were, field capacity (M1), ¨ø field capacity (M2) and ¨÷ field capacity (M3) and the salinity levels were, 0.5 (S1), 2 (S2), 4 (S3), 6 (S4) and 8 dS/m (S5)]. The experiments were carried during August 2005 and repeated in November 2006, terminated after 28 weeks and laid out in split-split plot design. The species were in the main plot, inoculums in the sub-plot and the moisture levels in the sub-sub-plot and replicated five replications. The growth parameters evaluated were, dry biomass, nodule number, nodule dry weight and nitrogen content. The study showed that A. polycantha and M2 moisture level resulted in the highest means for the different growth parameters. Inoculated seedlings were more favored by M2, but suppressed by both M1 and M3. At all the moisture levels, Acacia polycantha showed the highest nodule number while A. mellifera gave the highest mean dry biomass at M2, but the inoculated A. seyal was not affected at all the moisture levels. Both nodulation and growth were more affected by salinity rather than by inoculation. Across salinity levels, A. mellifera was more tolerant, A. polycantha showed low tolerance while A. seyal was less tolerant to salinity

    Abstract Pot experiments were carried out to investigate the capability of seven Acacia species (A. seyal, A. senegal, A. nilotica, A. polycantha, A. mellifera, A. nubica and A. tortilis) for nitrogen fixation and to assess the efficiency of isolated and re-inoculated rhizobia for nodulation and N fixation. Also, the amount of N fixed by four Acacia species (A. seyal, A. senegal, A. mellifera and A. nubica) was estimated using 15N isotope dilution method with Tamarindus indica used as a reference plant. Fertilization was carried out by adding 20 kg N/ha (5% 15N atom excess) and 100 kg N/ha (1 % 15N atom excess) to the fixing and to the non-fixing plants, respectively. Dry biomass, number of nodules, dry weight of nodules, N% and N content were determined. Plant tissue analysis was carried out for 15N and 14N. Result showed significant differences between the species in the growth parameters, with Acacia polycantha, A.seyal and A. mellifera giving the highest values. The inoculated plants gave the highest biomass and nodulation parameters. The study revealed a strong relationship between biomass and N content. The study also showed differences in N fixation among the tested Acacias species (A. nubica, A. senegal, A. mellifera and A. seyal) both in terms of % N needed by the plant (60%, 58%, 53% and 50%) and the total N fixed (0.063, 0.104, 0.098 and 0.078 g/plant, respectively)

    Abstract Two experiments were carried; the first at Wad Medani during 2001- 2003 and the second at Wad Medani, Faddasi (at the Blue Nile bank) and Hudieba Karu and High Terrace soils in 2003/04. The objectives were to examine the effect of Rhizobium inoculation and nitrogen fertilization on nodulation, N2-fixation and yield of common bean. The first experiment included a control treatment, 120 kg N haE-1 and inoculation with four Rhizobium isolates and one strain. The second one involved a control, 120 kg N haE-1 and inoculation with two Rhizobium strains. In the latter experiment, 15N methodology was used to assess biological N2-fixation. The treatments in each experiment were arranged in an RCBD replicated four times. The results showed that the application of N significantly enhanced the yield of common bean in the two seasons of the first experiment and at all locations except at Faddasi in the second experiment. This indicates the need for inoculation with efficient rhizobia at Wad Medani, Hudieba Karu and High Terrace soils. The relatively high total soil N (914 ppm) prevented the response to N application at Fadassi. All Rhizobium strains and isolates used in the study showed no significant effect in improving the tested parameters. The indigenous strain En2 increased nodulation and N2-fixation at all and across the locations, but the increase was not significant. The exotic strain USDA 2674 decreased nodulation and N2- fixation at all locations and significantly decreased N2-fixation across them. The %Ndfa for all locations ranged from 39 to 66%

    Abstract Experiments were conducted for two seasons 2000/01 and 2001/02 to study the effects of phosphorus and zinc fertilizers and their interactions on their soil extractable forms, their contents in corn (Zea mays L.) leaf tissue.'1nd their grain uptake. The study was conducted on Remaitab soil series (fine, smectitic, isohyperthermic, typic Haplusterts) at the Gezira Research Station Farm. Agricultural Research Corporation, Wad Medani. Sudan. Phosphorus was applied as triple superphosphate at three rates (0. 43 and 86 kg P2O5 haE-1). Zinc was added to the soil as zinc sulphate (Zn SO4.7H2O) at three rates (0, 5 and 10 kg Zn haE-1). The experiments were arranged in a split-plot design with four replicates. The main plots were assigned to phosphorus rates and the sub plots were assigned to those of zinc. The treatments were completely randomized within each replicate. The results indicated that application of both nutrients significantly (P .05) increased most of the parameters studied. Extractable soil Zn measured at 14 and at 70 days after sowing (DAS) and available soil P measured at 70 DAS were significantly reduced by the interaction of soil application of phosphorus and zinc fertilizers and both nutrients tended to reduce the concentration of each other in leaves especially when one of them was not added, and this was more pronounced in the cases of added P treatments on leaf tissue content of Zn. The result indicated that the major P-Zn interaction did not take place in the plant but in the soil where the availability of Zn was reduced by P and this was readily corrected by application of Zn. Application of both phosphorus rates in combination with zinc improved grain uptake of both nutrients, compared to treatments receiving the same amounts of phosphorus but without zinc or treatments receiving no phosphorus with or without zinc application

    Abstract Experiments were conducted for two seasons (2000/01 and 2001/02) to study the effects of added phosphorus and zinc fertilizers on yield and its components of corn(Zea mays L.) grown on Remaitab soil series. (fine, smectitic, isohyperthermic, Typic Haplusterts) at the Gezira Research Station Farm, Wad Medani, Sudan. Phosphorus was banded in the soil as triple superphosphate at three rates (0, 43 and 86 kg P2O5 haE-1). Zinc, as zinc sulphate, was also banded at three rates (0, 5 and 10 kg Zn haE-1). Nitrogen was broadcast as a basal dose in the form of urea at a recommended dose of 86 kg N haE-1 Experiments were arranged in a split-plot design with four replicates. The results indicated that application of both nutrients significantly (P 0.05) increased the number of cobs haE-1, the number and weight of grains cob, 100 grain weight and grain yield. However, doubling the rate of P to 86 kg P2O5 haE-1 did not result in a significant difference over that of 43 kg P20O5 haE-1 for most parameters studied. Application of both Prates (43 and 86 kg P2 O5 haE-1) each in combination with Zn rates (5 and 10 kg Zn haE-1) increased weight of grains per cob, 100 grain weight and grain yield as compared to other treatments. For attaining maximum yield, application or 43 kg p2O5 haE-1 10 kg Zn haE-1 banded in the soil at sowing is recommended, in addition to the recommended rate of nitrogen on the Remaitab soil series

    Abstract A pot experiment was conducted to estimate the levels of iron (Fe) needed to correct Fe-deficiency chlorosis in groundnut grown in an alkaline soil and to study Fe × nitrogen (N) interactions in soil and plant and their associated effects on growth and yield. Four levels of Fe (0, 2.5, 10, and 25 mg Fe/kg soil as Fe-EDDHA) and two levels of N (0 and 100 mg N/kg soil as NH4NO3) were applied factorially in a completely randomized block design. Higher rates of 10 and 25 mg Fe/kg caused a significant reduction in leaf area and aerial biomass accumulation irrespective of N treatment. The Fe × N interaction was significant for all of these parameters. Specific leaf area increased at higher levels of Fe application. Higher Fe levels induced symptoms suggestive of manganese (Mn) deficiency. This diagnosis was supported by decreasing concentration of Mn in leaf blades with increasing Fe levels. By contrast concentrations of most other elements in leaf blades increased with increasing levels of Fe application, suggestive of plant growth but not uptake of other elements being reduced by Mn deficiency
