المستخلص: Type1 diabetes mellitus uncommon problem in Iraq which increase incidence of effected young age groups ,and its regards one of the multifactorial disorders with genetics and environmental factors playing important role in its cause and pathogenesis ,complication, prognosis.In diabetes, the defects in cellular metabolism especially hyperglycemia results in increasing free radicals. These radicals react with other vital cellular molecules which are responsible in diabetes side effects. Human glutathione S - transferees (GST) are a family of enzymes that catalysis conjugation of electrophilic substances with glutathione. In this research the deletion and expression of two of the most important genes of this family; GSTT1 and GSTM1 genes was investigated as the risk factor for type1 DM and control of the disease glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), body mass index (BMI) as ( indicators of diabetic control), in relationship to the age , gender , age of the onset, duration of the disease, and also study of 10 parents of type1 DM to demonstrate the genetic role of GSTs genes in the disease.Forty four type1 DM patients were enrolled (23M & 21 F) and compared with 42 non diabetic counterparts matching with age and gender as regards as control group.Deletion of GSTM1 and GSTT1 genes was observed in (3) diabetics’ patients as compared with control group 3/44 (6.8%), 0/42 (0%) respectively . Also this percentage was increased, 8/11 (72.73) 1/11 (9.09) in the poor control type1 DM (HbA1c < 10), while in the underweight 5/10 (50%), 6/10 (60%) are Significant Correlation between GSTM1 null / GSTT1 present genotype, also study showed more incidence in the male than female patients.There are increase incidence of the expression and deletion of GST genes with aging, chronicity of disease, glycemic control, family GST gene states , and BMI.The type1 DM had effect on the GST states according to the gender, age , age of onset and duration of the disease .

المستخلص: Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) is a severe chronic systemic zoonotic disease caused by the protozoan Leishmania donovani or L. infantum, in which cytokines play an important role in its pathogenesis. These cytokines are under genetic controls, and their gene polymorphisms have been suggested to exert a functional role in regulating cytokine gene expression. Therefore, the present study determined IFN - γ, IL - 2, IL - 10 and IL - 12 serum levels and gene polymorphisms of 11 cytokine and cytokine receptor genes (IL1A, IL1B, IL2, IL4, IL4R, IL6, IL10, IL12B, TNF, IFNG and TGFB1) in VL patients by ELISA assay and sequence specific primer - PCR method. Gene polymorphism impact on IFN - γ, IL - 2, IL - 10 and IL - 12 serum levels was also evaluated.Forty - four Iraqi Arabs VL patients (age range : 4 months to 12 years) were enrolled in the study. They were referred to hospitals in two Iraqi governorates (Baghdad and Wasit) during the period March 2013 - February 2014. A control sample of 40 apparently healthy individuals was also included and matched patients for age and ethnicity.Most of the ascertained VL cases were in winter and spring with frequencies of 43.2 and 50.3%, respectively. The results also revealed that the age group 1 - 3 years accounted for more than 50% of cases (54.5%) and the infection was more prevalent in male (65.9%) than females (34.1%).A significant increased serum level of IL - 2 (14.72 ± 1.14 vs.4.43 ± 0.49 pg/ml), IL - 10 (40.02 ± 1.26 vs.18.60 ± 1.82 pg/ml), IFN - γ (29.06 ± 1.05 vs. 12.83 ± 1.38 pg/ml) was recorded in VL patients compared to controls. While, IL - 12 serum level showed a non - significant increased level in patients (5.33 ± 3.26 vs.2.17 ± 0.36 pg/ml). Cytokine gene polymorphism analysis revealed that neither genotypes nor alleles of IL1B - 511, IL4R+1902, IL12B - 1188, IFNG+874, TGFB1+896, TNF - 308, IL2 - 330, IL2+166, IL4 - 590, IL4 - 33, IL6nt565/ - 597, IL6 - 174, IL10 - 1082, IL10 - 819 and IL10 - 592 genes showed a significant variation between VL patients and controls. In contrast, a positive association between IL - 1β+3962 CC genotype an C allele and IL4 - 1098 G allele and VL was observed (susceptible genotypes and alleles), while a negative association (protective genotypes and alleles) was recorded for IL1A - 889 TT genotype, IL1B+3962 T allele and IL4 - 1098 TT genotype and T allele. To determine the impact of cytokine genotypes on cytokines serum level, VL patients and controls were distributed according to their serum level in the three genotypes of each cytokine. It was found that TG genotype of IL2 - 330 was observed with the highest IL - 2 level (16.56 ± 1.69 pg/ml) compared to other genotypes. The GT genotype of IL2+166 also showed the highest level of IL - 2 (17.47 ± 2.34 pg/ml) compared to GG (13.53 ± 1.38pg/ml) or TT (15.77 ± 3.88 pg/ml) genotypes in patients. The IL10 - 1082 GG genotype showed the highest level of IL - 10 in patients (45.73 ±3.15 pg/ml) compared to AA (38.02 ± 1.48 pg/ml) genotype. For IL10 - 819 genotypes, they recorded approximated means in patients and no significant difference between them was observed. At the third position of IL10 gene (IL10 - 592), neither patients nor controls demonstrated a significant difference between the means of IL - 10 in their genotypes. At IL12 - 1188, CC genotype showed a significant increase level of IL - 12 (26.16 ±19.76 pg/ml) compared to CA and AA genotype(1.35 ± 0.35 pg/ml and 1.48 ± 0.23 pg/ml respectively) in patients. Finally, neither VL patients nor controls demonstrated a significant difference between the means of IFN - γ in the genotypes of IFNG+874. In conclusion, the role of cytokines in pathogenesis of VL wasascertained, but such role can be better understood in the ground of cytokine gene polymorphisms, which may also have susceptibility or protective effects.

المستخلص: The in vitro isolation, identification, differentiation, and neurogenesis characterization (with molecular studies by conventional and real time - PCR) of stem cells source were investigated to produce two type of stem cells. This two types including neural cells and neural stem cells in culture which use it as a successful sources for further treatments. And finally chosen the best medium formula for maintenance the produced neural stem cells, also to prove their stemness state in culture. The mouse bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells was used as the source of stem cells in this study. Two type of neural differentiation formula was used to induced neural cells and then neural stem cells. The first formula was butylated hydroxyanisole, and the second formula was β - mercaptoethanol reagents. Also three type of different neural stages markers were used; nestin as immaturation stage marker, neurofilament light - chain as early neural marker, and microtubule association protein as maturation marker. These markers were represented the different neurogenesis stages started from mesenchymal stem cells (as undifferentiated cells), neural stem cells production stages, and towards neuron cells (as differentiated cells).The results of immunocytochemistry and real time - PCR of butylated hydroxyanisole differentiation method showed that in contrast to mesenchymal stem cells (as control group), neural differentiated cells showed neural progenitor pattern, by showing stable increased in nestin gene expression significantly through differentiation process for different exposure time, with increased of protein expression significantly compared with control. While, neurofilament light - chain gene and protein expression started to increase significantly, but not - IIreplacedthe nestin expression completely even when its expression passed nestin levels compared with control group. In contrast to the maturation marker microtubule association protein which showed a very low expression during the duration of differentiation period in protein and gene expression (with significant effect) compared with control. This results proved that the cells were still progenitors and do not passed the maturation stage, therefore there was a difficult to define the exactly time of neural stem cells production stage from this formula and as a good formula to produce neuron cells in culture. In other side, the results of immunocytochemistry and real time - PCR of β - mercaptoethanol (as another differentiation formula) were showed that this formula was successful to produce both neural stem cells as well as neuron cells from this formula. This occur through increasing and over expressing of nestin protein and gene significantly within the early hours exposure time reaching to the highest expression levels. Compared with decreased and lower expressed in neurofilament light - chain protein and gene expression levels compared with control; therefore from this stage (exposure time) we can produce neural stem cells in culture. And then decreased and lower expressed of both protein and gene expression of nestin significantly compared with increasing the expression of neurofilament light - chain protein and gene levels throw the late exposure times compared with control, this results indicated that this stage was starting of maturation stage toward neuron cells. Also the proving of this results was lower expression levels of almost all exposure times of microtubule association protein for their protein and gene (with significant effect).The results of gene expression analysis of using four different media formulas to proved the stemness state and maintained the neural stem cells in culture showed that 6 h exposure to β - mercaptoethanol was enough to create - IIIneuralstem cells which maintained using MEM media with 5% FBS, with b - FGF, or with b - FGF &EGF. This study confirms that the molecular characterization study of stem cells in culture will assist to studying and clarifying the neurogenesis pathway through neural differentiation process, by clarified the mechanisms of neural genes through the in vitro differentiation of stem cells, and therefore ability to produced both neuron cells and neural stem cells by using the molecular studies.

المستخلص: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a world healthcare problem that involves two major forms : Crohn’s disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC). Immunogenetic predisposition is one of the risk factors for the disease, and cytokines are among these factors. Therefore, the association between 13 SNPs (single nucleotide polymorphisms) of cytokine and cytokine receptor genes (IL1A, IL1B, IL1R1, IL1RN, IL2, IL4, IL4R, IL6, IL10, IL12B, IFNG, TNF and TGFB1) and IBD was determined in samples of Iraqi Arab patients (34 CD and 66 UC). The patients were referred to the Gastrointestinal Tract Unit at Al - Kindy Teaching Hospital, Al - Yarmouk Teaching Hospital and Al - Zuafrania General Hospital in Baghdad for diagnosis and treatment during the period August 2013 - October 2014. A control sample of 43 individuals was also included.The following results were reached by the study : 1.

Interleukin 4 receptor gene (IL4R+1902) : frequencies of GG genotype (47.1 vs.11.6%) and G allele (55.9 vs. 37.2%) were significantly increased in CD patients compared to controls (P = 0.001 and 0.023, respectively). In contrast, GA genotype (17.7 vs. 51.1%; P = 0.004) and A allele (44.1 vs. 62.8%; P = 0.023) frequencies were significantly decreased. In UC patients, frequencies of GG genotype (57.6 vs. 11.6%) and G allele (75.8 vs. 37.2%) were significantly increased (P = 1.0*10 - 6 and 1.9*10 - 8, respectively); while frequencies of AA genotype (6.1 vs. 37.2%; P = 7.0*10 - 5) and A allele (24.2 vs. 62.8%; P = 1.9*10 - 8) were significantly decreased.7. Interleukin 6 gene (IL6+565) : Comparing patients to controls revealed that GG genotype frequency was significantly increased in CD (70.6 vs. 13.9%; P = 1.5*10 - 8) and UC (69.7 vs. 13.9%; P = 4.4*10 - 7) patients, and a similar increased frequency of G allele was observed. In contrast, the GC genotype frequency was significantly decreased in CD (23.5 vs. 76.7%; P = 3.7*10 - 6) and UC (24.2 vs. 76.7%; P = 7.0*10 - 6) patients.8. Interleukin 12B gene (IL12B - 1188) : Frequency of A allele was significantly increased in CD patients compared to controls (67.7 vs. 47.7%; P = 0.015), while C allele was significantly decreased (32.4 vs. 52.3%; P = 0.015). For UC, the heterozygous genotype AC showed a significant increased frequency in patients compared to controls (66.7 vs. 30.2%; P = 3.6*10 - 4), while CC genotype frequency was significantly decreased (6.1 vs. 37.2%; P = 7.0*10 - 5). 9. Interferon gamma gene (IFNG+874) : The AT genotype showed a significant increased frequency in CD patients compared to controls (58.8 vs. 30.2; P = 0.020), while TT genotype frequency was significantly decreased (11.8 vs.39.5%; P = 0.009). For UC, AA genotype (54.6 vs. 30.2%; P = 0.018) and A allele (74.2 vs. 45.4; P = 2.7*10 - 5) frequencies were significantly increased in patients. In contrast, TT genotype (6.1 vs. 39.5%; P = 2.8*10 - 5) and T allele (25.8 vs. 54.7%; P = 2.7*10 - 5) frequencies were significantly decreased. 10. Tumor necrosis factor alpha gene (TNF - 308) : Comparing CD patients to controls revealed no significant variation, while UC patients demonstrated a significantly (P = 0.006) increased frequency of G allele (71.2 vs. 52.3%) and a decreased frequency of A allele (28.8 vs. 47.7%). 11. Interleukin 1 receptor antagonist (IL1RNmaspl 11100), interleukin 10 gene (IL10 - 1082) and Transforming growth factor beta (TGFB1codon 25) genes : Comparing patients to controls revealed no significant variations in genotype or allele frequencies.The presented results of the 13 cytokine SNPs in CD and UC patients are the first report in Iraqi patients, and their findings highlighted the role of these SNPs in etiopathogenesis of both groups of IBD, and paved the way for further investigations to determine the role cytokine gene polymorphisms in susceptibility to IBD or their protective effects.

المستخلص: تعد متلازمة تكيس المبيض المتعدد ((PCOS من الاكثر شيوعا بين اضطرابات الغدد الصماء والتي تصيب النساء في عمر الانجاب. ماتزال امراضية هذه المتلازمة غير معروفة ولكن الكثير من الباحثين يعزونها الى عوامل وراثية واضطرابات ايضية والسمنة وفرط الاندروجين ومقاومة الانسولين، فضلا عن فرط الانسولين. هدفت هذه الدراسة الى ايجاد العلاقة بين مستوى الكلوكوز مع اختبارات اليوريا والكرياتنين، فضلا عن البروتين المتفاعل C في عينة من النساء العراقيات اللواتي يعانين من متلازمة تكيس المبايض المتعدد، اذ اجريت الدراسة الحالية على (51) امراة يعانين من متلازمة تكيس المبايض المتعدد و(10) نساء سليمات كمجموعة سيطرة في المعهد العالي لتشخيص العقم والتقنيات المساعدة على الانجاب/جامعة النهرين للفترة من شباط الى اب للعام 2014. تم تشخيص النساء الخاضعات للدراسة باستخدام جهاز الامواج فوق الصوتية (السونار) لفحص الرحم والمبيض واسندت بالاستبيان ان كن يعانين من ندرة الطمث (oligomenorrhea)، انقطاع الطمث الثانوي (secondary amenorrhea) او دورة حيضية منتظمة، فضلا عن الفحوصات الهرمونية والتي تضمنت الهرمون المحفز للحويصلات المبيضية ((FSH، الهرمون اللوتيني (LH)، هرمون الحليب (PRL)، هرمون الايستروجين (E2) وهرمون التيستوستيرون ((Testosterone. اذ جمع (5) مل من الدم الوريدي من كل امراة صائمة صباحا، واذيب 75 غرام من الكلوكوز بـ 300 - 500 مل من الماء واعطي لكل النساء الخاضعات لهذه الدراسة. تم جمع المعلومات والتي شملت العمر ومؤشر كتلة الجسم ( (BMIو فترة العقم من كل امراة خاضعة للدراسة، ثم تم اجراء اختبار تحمل الكلوكوز الفموي (منتصف الاختبار فقط) واختبار اليوريا في الدم واختبار كرياتنين المصل واختبار الهوموسيستين واختبار البروتين الفعال C لكل النساء في هذه الدراسة. كما وتم اجراء اختبار اليوريا والكرياتنين فضلا عن اختبار البروتين المتفاعل C مع منتصف الاختبار لتحمل الكلوكوز الفموي لكل النساء الخاضعات في هذه الدراسة لغرض ايجاد العلاقة المحتملة بين السكر وهذه الاختبارات. قسمت المريضات الى عدة مجاميع وفقا لاختبار تحمل الكلوكوز الفموي (منتصف الاختبار) ونوع العقم وحالات الاجهاض ومؤشر كتلة الجسم وفترات العقم ووفقا للفئات العمرية. وبعد ذلك تم تحليل البيانات احصائيا. اظهرت نتائج الدراسة عدم وجود فروق معنوية(P>0.05) بين مجاميع المريضات (PCOS) مقارنة بمجموعة السيطرة فيما يخص عامل العمر،و لكن وفقا للفئات العمرية، لوحظ زيادة تكرار هذه المتلازمة للنساء ضمن الفئة العمرية التي تتراوح بين 21 - 30 سنة. كما واظهرت هذه الدراسة ان اغلب المريضات يعانين من الوزن الزائد والسمنة المفرطة، وارتفاع السكر في الدم. اما فيما يخص حالة العقم فقد قسمت المريضات لمجموعتين، مجموعة تعاني من عقم اولي 52.95%) ) والمجموعة الثانية تعاني من عقم ثانوي ((47.05% . اضافة الى ذلك، حوالي (29.42%)من المريضات يعانين من حالات الاجهاض، ولم تلاحظ اي فروق معنوية(P>0.05) في فترات العقم بين المريضات اللواتي يعانين من الاجهاض مقارنة باللواتي لا يعانين من الاجهاض، وايضا بين المريضات اللواتي لديهن عقم اولي مقارنة باللواتي لديهن عقم ثانوي. اما بالنسبة للتحليل الهرموني، فقد لوحظ ارتفاع معنوي (P<0.05) بهرمون الحليب لدى المريضات اللواتي يعانين من زيادة الوزن والسمنة المفرطة. علاوة على ذلك، لم يلاحظ اي فروق معنوية (P>0.05)في تركيز الهرمون المحفز للحويصلات والهرمون اللوتيني وهرمون الايستروجين والهرمون الذكري التيستوستيرون بين المريضات ومجموعة السيطرة. ايضا اظهرت النتائج حصول ارتفاع معنوي(P<0.05) في تركيز الهوموسيستين في المريضات اللواتي يعانين من فترة عقم 9 سنوات فما فوق. لوحظ ايضا وجود علاقة ايجابية ضعيفة بين مستوى الكلوكوز مع تركيز كل من اليوريا والكرياتنين في الدم، بينما لوحظت علاقة عكسية ضعيفة بين مستوى الكلوكوز وتركيز البروتين المتفاعل C في الدم. علاوة على ذلك، لم يلاحظ اي فروق معنوية(P>0.05) في مستويات اليوريا والكرياتنين والبروتين المتفاعل C بين مجاميع المريضات ومجموعة السيطرة الصائمات.نستنتج من نتائج الدراسة الحالية ان متلازمة تكيس المبيض مرتبطة بالسمنة، ومقاومة الانسولين، فضلا عن اضطرابات الطمث. وان ارتفاع الهوموسيستين مرتبط بمقاومة الانسولين والسمنة. المريضات اللواتي لديهن فرط الانسولين قد يتطور لديهن مرض السكري. كما وان ارتفاع هرمون الحليب مرتبط بالسمنة المفرطة والوزن الزائد في المريضات اللواتي يعانين من متلازمة تكيس المبيض المتعدد (PCOS). | Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrine disorder which affect women at reproductive age. The pathophysiology of this syndrome still unclear, but many researchers were attributed this syndrome to genetics, metabolic disorders, obesity, hyperandrogenism, insulin resistance and hyperinsulinemia. This study was aimed to identify the correlation of glucose level with blood urea, serum creatinine and C - reactive protein test in some Iraqi women suffering from polycystic ovarian syndrome. The present study was carried out for (51) PCOS women and (10) healthy women as control with age between (17 - 49) years at High Institute for Infertility Diagnosis and Assisted Reproductive Technologies / AL - Nahrain University, from February to August, 2014. The females were diagnosed by ultrasound scan for ovarian and uterine features and supported by a questionnaire if they have oligomenorrhea, secondary amenorrhea or regular menstrual cycle, as well as reproductive hormonal assay performed for all women involved; FSH, LH , prolactin, E2 and testosterone. Blood samples (about 5 mL) were collected from each fasting woman in the morning, and 75 gm of glucose loaded in 300 - 500 ml of water and given to the subjects. The information included; age, BMI and duration of infertility were recorded for all subjects. Oral glucose tolerance test (Mid - test only), blood urea test, serum creatinine test, homocysteine test and C - reactive protein test were performed for all subjects. Blood urea, serum creatinine and C - reactive protein tests were performed with mid - test OGTT for all subjects provided the correlation between blood glucose levels and these parameters. PCOS women divided into groups according to mid - test OGTT, type of infertility, abortion cases, BMI values, duration of infertility and according to age groups. Crude data were statistically analyzed. As for the age, no significant differences (P>0.05) were observed among PCOS groups and controls. According to age group, higher prevalence of PCOS women was observed in age group with age range 21 - 30 years . The most of PCOS women were overweight and obese, and they had higher glucose levels. As for the infertility, infertile PCOS women were divided into two groups, PCOS women suffering from primary infertility (52.95%) and secondary infertility (47.05%). About 29.42% of PCOS women had abortion. Non significant differences (P>0.05) in duration of infertility between PCOS aborted vs. non aborted ones, and between primary and secondary. Higher prolactin level (P<0.05) was recorded in obese and overweight women, while non significantly differences (P>0.05) were recorded in FSH, LH, E2, and testosterone level among PCOS groups and controls. Higher homocysteine level (P<0.05) was observed in PCOS group with duration of infertility (≥9 years). Weak positive correlation was demonstrated between glucose with blood urea and glucose with serum creatinine. While negative weak correlation of glucose level with C - reactive protein level was recorded. Moreover, non significant differences (P>0.05) in urea, creatinine and C - reactive protein levels among fasting PCOS groups and control.In conclusion, the present study supported the association of PCOS cases with obesity, insulin resistance, and menstrual disturbances. Elevation of homocysteine levels related to insulin resistance and obesity in PCOS women. Hyperinsulinimic PCOS women had higher prevalence risk to develop type 2 diabetes mellitus. An elevation of prolactin level associated with obesity and overweight in PCOS patients

المستخلص: Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease of the airways in which many cells and cellular elements play a role. Causes recurrent episodes of wheezing, breathlessness, chest tightness, and coughing. These episodes cause airflow obstruction, often reversible either spontaneously or with treatment. The current study was conducted at the Labs of college of Education for pure science and Al - Hussein Teaching Hospital in Thi - Qar province, during the period from October 2014 to May 2015. The study aimed to investigate role of polymorphism of IL - 13 gene in patients with asthma and to evaluate their immune status by measuring the levels of some immunological parameter immunoglobulins ( IgE) by enzyme - linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and (IgG, IgM ) by single redial immune diffusion (SRID) and measure the levels of interleukins (IL - 6, IL - 17) in the serum using enzyme - linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), the study included test phagocytic cells on phagocytosis (coefficient of phagocytosis) and the total and differential count of white blood cells .A total of 100 patients with bronchial asthma (68 females) and (32 males) whose age lies between 17 - 62 years have enrolled in this study. DNA was extracted and RFLP - PCR was performed by using primers specific for the gene IL - 13, the results showed the presence of mutations in a48 sample out of 100 patients with asthma at site 1112C/T after using restriction enzyme BstUI. the statistical analysis showed correlation between the occurrence of the disease and the emergence of mutation (C / T) in the promoter region of IL - 13 gene when compared with the healthy control in population of Thi - Qar province .When it was compared the patient group with healthy control group there was a high significant increase (P ≤ 0.001) in serum IgE, IgG of patients with asthma compared with healthy control group. And no significant difference in serum IgM of patients with asthma compared with healthy control group. Decrease coefficientphagocytosis was significantly (P ≤ 0.001) in all patients with asthma compared with healthy control group. Levels of interleukin (IL - 6, IL - 17) measured in serum of 60 a sample of patients with asthma, and in the serum of 20 samples from healthy control group. The results showed a significant increase (P ≤ 0.001) in the levels of these interleukins in the serum of patients with asthma compared to the control group.Also there was increased in the rate of counting the total of WBCs and differential cell lymphocytes, eosinophil, neutrophil, basophil, and monocyte (P ≤ 0.001) in patients with asthma compared with the healthy people in the control group.

The present study determined the functional correlation between serum level of five cytokines (IL - 2, IL - 4, IL - 6, IL - 10 and IL - 12) and their single nucleotide polymorphisms; SNPs at 11 positions (IL2 - 330, IL2+160, IL4 - 1098, IL4 - 590, IL4 - 330, IL6 - 174, IL6+565, IL10 - 1082, IL10 - 819, IL10 - 592 and IL12B - 1188) in a sample of 45 Iraqi Arab female SLE patients, who were referred to the Consultant Clinic at the Department of Rheumatology, Baghdad Teaching Hospital during the period June - October 2013. In addition, 43 apparently healthy women were further included in the study as a control group. The following results were obtained : Complement components C3 and C4 were significantly (P ≤ 0.001) decreased in SLE patients (0.57 ± 0.04 and 0.06 ± 0.01 g/L, respectively) compared to controls (1.12 ± 0.04 and 0.22 ± 0.01, g/L, respectively).Most of the patients were positive for anti - nuclear and anti - double strand DNA antibodies (91.1 and 88.9%, respectively), while only 9.3% of controls were positive for these autoantibodies. Such difference was significant (P ≤ 0.001) in both cases.Assessments of cytokine serum levels revealed that IL - 2 showed a significant (P ≤ 0.001) decreased level in SLE patients compared to controls (25.6 ± 1.2 vs. 35.1 ± 2.1 pg/ml), and IL - 4 was also decreased in patients (17.9 ± 2.7 vs. 22.2 ± 1.9 pg/ml), but the difference was not significant (P > 0.05). In contrast, IL - 6 (26.0 ± 4.3 vs. 16.7 ± 1.0 pg/ml), IL - 10 (36.4 ± 1.8 vs. 29.5 ± 0.8 pg/ml) and IL - 12 (24.4 ± 2.3 vs. 19.2 ± 0.9 pg/ml) were significantly increased in SLE patients.Out of the 11 investigated cytokine SNPs, only IL4 - 590 and IL12B - 1188 showed significant variations between patients and controls. A significant increased frequency of IL4 - 590 TT genotype (66.6 vs. 41.9%; Odd’s ratio = 2.78; P = 0.03) and T allele (75.6 vs. 58.1%; Odd’s ratio = 2.23; P = 0.02) was observed in patients. In contrast, C allele frequency was significantly decreased in patients (24.4 vs. 41.9%; PF = 0.23; P = 0.02). For IL12B - 1188, CC genotype showed a significant increased frequency in patients compared to controls (73.4 vs. 46.5%; Odd’s ratio = 3.16; P = 0.016), and a similar increased frequency was observed in C allele (80.0 vs. 62.8%; RR = 2.37; P = 0.013). In contrast, AC genotype (13.3 vs. 32.6%; PF = 0.22; P = 0.042) and A allele (20.0 vs.37.2%; PF = 0.22; P = 0.013) frequencies were significantly decreased in patients.The impact of investigated cytokine SNP genotypes on serum level of IL - 2, IL - 4, IL - 6, IL - 10 and IL - 12 was also assessed in SLE patients and controls. Different observations were made and some genotypes were associated with increased level of cytokines, while others were presented with a decreased level. In both cases differences between SLE patients and controls were observed.

المستخلص: Breast cancer is a complex and multifactorial disease resulting in abnormal cell growth that leads to malignant tumor formation.In this study we focus on mutations of breast cancer susceptibility genes 1 and 2 (BRCA1 and BRCA2), immunohistochemical evaluation of estrogen, progesterone, HER - 2 receptors, ABO blood groups , white blood cells and clinicopathological parameter ( age, breast feeding, family history and tumor site) .Eighty five blood samples were taken from patients who attended Al - Hussain teaching hospital and oncology unit in Al - Habboby hospital during the period (from August /2014 to April /2015) , fifty blood samples were collected from healthy women as a control group who attended Al - Hussain teaching hospital and divided into groups according to age, family history, age at first brith, breast feeding. For histopathological and immunohistochemical analysis fifty tissue samples were collected from patients with breast cancer who were undergoing surgical resection (mastectomy). Blood samples were obtained by venepuncture , using a 5 ml disposable syringe , and they were divided into three aliquots, which were 1 ml, 2 ml and 2ml, for collect serum, genetic studies and hematological parameters (leucocycte count and ABO blood groups) study. The tissue samples were collected from the 50 patients with breast cancer for histopathological diagnosis and for Immunohistochemical analysis (estrogen receptor, progesterone receptor and here2/nue) The total patients were divided according to their age in to five groups (30 - 39), (40 - 49), (50 - 59), (60 - 69) and (≥70 years). results of present study revealed that a highest incidence of breast cancer (41%) occur in the age oup between 40 - 49 years, there is a significant difference among patients groups (P ≤ 0.01).The results of our study showed that (77) of patients lactating and from those according to period of lactation we found that the highest percentage of patients (37.6%) were lactating for period between (18 - 22months) and the lowest percentage (10.38%) lactating for period between (1 - 6 month). Family history of breast cancer indicates a strong association with risk of developing breast cancer. The result of the present study revealed that the family history positive in 31 cases (36.47%), and 54 cases (63.52%) had negative family history of breast cancer.The results of present study showed that (41.5%) had first birth at age (20 - 29years), (23.37%) had their first birth in age group (15 - 19 years) and (30 - 39 years), and (9.09%) had first birth at age (≥40 years).Regarding the tumor site, we found that most of patients (50.5%) the tumor mass was located in the right side and (38.8%) cases the tumor mass were located in the left side.The DNA was extracted from blood samples by using Accupower® genomic DNA extraction kit. Each concentration and purity of all DNA samples have been measured by Nanodrop. Samples with a purity ranged from 1.2 to 1.8 have been enrolled in this study for the molecular detection of BRCA1/2 gene mutation in patients and control groups. Detection of BRCA1/2 gene mutation by multiplex PCR revealed that (185 del AG mutation in BRCA1 gene) was detected in 6 patients (7.05%) out of 85 cases with breast cancer, and (5382 ins C) mutation in the same gene was detected in 2 patients (2.35%). Regarding (6174 del T) mutation in BRCA2 gene was detected in 3 patients (3.52%). While this mutation was not detected in the control groups.Histopathologically, carcinoma was divided into 44 cases (88%) ductal carcinoma {from which 42 cases (84%) were invasive ductal carcinoma, and 2 cases (4%) were comedocarcinoma}, and 6 cases (12%) cases invasive lobular carcinoma. Results revealed that 2 cases (4%) were stage I, 13 cases (26%) were stage II, 24 cases (48%) were stage III and 11 cases (22%) were stage IV, also our results showed that the 2 cases (4%) were grade I, 23 cases (46%) were grade II and 25 cases (50%) were grade III. The results of immunohistochemical analysis for breast cancer samples showed that Estrogen receptors were present in 36 cases (72%), and 14 cases (28%) were negative, while Progesterone receptors detected in 27 cases (54%), and 23 cases (46%) were negative, on the other hand the expression of HER - 2/neu showed positive results in 28 cases (56%), and 22 cases (44%) were negative.Regarding the ABO blood groups, we found that most of the cases carry blood group A (40 cases, 47.05 %), and the lowest frequency was for blood group AB (7 cases, 8.23%).The results of the present study showed that leukocytes count, lymphocytes count, monocytes count, neutrophils count and basophiles count were lower in patients than the control group, with a significant difference (p value ≤ o.o1). While the eosinophils count was significantly higher in patients than the controls (p value ≤ o.o1).

In recent time; they have become emerged as a nosocomial pathogens. Among Enterococcus genus; Enterococcus faecium and Enterococcus faecalis are the main causative agents for serious relevant nosocomial infections. The therapeutic failure of enterococcal infections are mainly due to the intrinsic as well as transferable drug resistance,so the current study have been performed to detect the movement or transfer of resistance genes among Enterococcus sp.and Staphylococcus aureus (S.aureus) as a nosocomial Gram - positive cocci. This study could be divided into two aspect : I : Bacteriological aspect : During the period from February / 2014 to May / 2014, one hundred and five enterococcal isolates were isolated from a total of (705) urine samples collected from patients with urinary tract infections (UTI) who attended to three hospitals ( Al - Kindy teaching hospital, Ibn - Al - Balady and Al - Shaheed - Al - Sader ) at Baghdad city .Also 299 isolates of S. aureus were obtained from 413 wound and burn swabs . Patients included in this study were from all age groups and of both genders .The Enterococcus isolates were diagnosed by using the preliminary tests (azide blood agar,chromogenic that included chromoagar UTI orientation , VRE chromagar and modified media). As well as confirmative tests have been conducted for identification of Enterococcus to species level; these tests included vitek 2 System and ddl E.faecalis and ddl E.faecium gene primers ,therefore (55)7.8% isolates were identified as; E.faecalis while (50) 7.1% isolates were detected as E.faecium from 705 urine sample .S.aureus have been diagnosed by preliminary test by culturing the suspected isolates on mannitol salt agar then confirmative test were carried out ; by employing high specialized and accurate chromogenic S. aureus media ( chromagar S. aureus ) , also some of S. aureus isolated identified by vitek 2 system, and other isolates identified by house keeping gene primer special to S. aureus (Fem A gene) ,the results have been shown that;(299)isolates were identified as S. aureus from 413sample was included 232 burn and 181 wound samples . Also from 299 of S. aureus that included 162 isolates from burn and 137 isolates from wound, 135(100%) isolates was methicillin resistance after inoculcated on chromagar MRSA was included 82(60.7%) burn isolates and 53(39.3%) wound isolates. E. faecalis and E. faecium isolates were screened for their antibiotic resistance against vancomycin by disc diffusion test (Kirby - Bauer) method and determination MIC,the results have revealed that (20) isolates of E. faecium and (20) isolates of E.faecium were between resistant and intermediate resistance to vancomycin antibiotic and these results were ensured by culturing of VRE isolates on VRE medium and the colonies showed pink color compared with vancomycin sensitive isolates which appeared blue. As well as the results were showed that (13) isolates of S. aureus were resistant to vancomycin when tested for vancomycin sensitivity and MIC value. Plasmid have been extracted and isolated from those (40) isolates of E.faecalis , E.faecium and 13(8.5%) isolates of S. aureus that were resistant to vancomycin included 8 ( 4.9%)isolates from burn and 5(3.6%) isolates from wound . the results have been showed that all of VRE and S. aureus were contained plasmids with multiple size of Kbp.II; Molecular aspect : E.faecalis and E.faecium have been identified by using the ddl gene primers of both E.faecalis and E.faecium , as well as fem A gene primer of S. aureus . Van S,R, Aand B primer genes special to 40 isolates of Enterococcus that resistant to vancomycin were detected by MIC determination,as well as we used the same primers genes that special to Enterococcus to S. aureus which were resistant to vancomycin and the PCR product were sequencing to comprised each of Van S,R,and A genes in both of bacterial species shown that the results were ,all isolates of E.faecium and E. faecalis should have Van R/S and A genes which were responsible for vancomycin resistance and the size of these genes 650 bp,1094bp and 733bp respectively, no van B gene resistance had been detected among all isolates of Enterococcus of both species . and the conclusion from this study was : - S. aureus gained resistance toward antibiotic vancomycin type A, S. aureus was also harboring van R and VanS genes . - Vancomycin resistance in all isolates of Enterococcus and S. aureus. was a plasmid born character since it has been lost and upon curing of the plasmid - Sequencing of Van R,S and A genes in Enterococcus have shown 99% of alignment with reference gene on one hand with each other on other hand - Sequencing of resistance genes in S. aureus have show 99% alignment with those of Enterococcus . - Members of genus Enterococcus are the source of Vancomycin resistance and from which it transfer to S. aureus. - Vancomycin resistance is a plasmid born characters since it was lostduring curing process using acridine orange.
