المستخلص: اجريت هذه الدراسة في فرع الفارماكولوجي في كلية الطب في الجامعة المستنصرية بالتعاون مع مركز ابحاث السرطان والوراثة\الجامعةالمستنصرية خلال الفترة من شهر كانون الثاني - شهراب لسنة 2014. الدراسة اقرت من قبل مجلس كلية الطب. صممت هذه الدراسة لتوضيح فعالية نبات ا | This study was conducted in the Department of Pharmacology at College of Medicine with incorporation of the Iraqi Center for Cancer and Medical Genetic Research at Al - Mustansiriya University, Baghdad, Iraq during 2014. This study was designed to elucidate the anti - cancer effect of Camellia sinensis by using four types of tea (black, green, white and oolong). Two experimental cancer models applied in this study; cancer cell lines (In vitro) and mice - bearing tumor (ex vivo). Several methodological and extracted aqueous and organic solvents were used to extract the tea. Microwave assisted extraction using distilled water as a solvent is applied in this study as the yield of bioactive substances are higher than other methods and organic solvents. The antioxidant activity was evaluated through the quantification of total flavonoids, total polyphenolic compound (bioflavanoids), total flavonols, reducing power, and proanthocyanidines. The scavenging property against reactive nitrogen species also was studied. The result showed that the different tea types contain approximately the same quantity of phenolic compounds; the only significant difference was in the proanthocyanidins level, which is a class of flavanols, found in high quantity in green tea compared with other tea extracts. Moreover, a significant scavenging property of peroxynitrite radical observed with all tea extracts. The extracts of black, green and oolong tea prevented or halted nitric oxide generation whereas the white extract tea promoted its generation, that is, a nitric oxide donor. The in vitro cytotoxic activity of Camellia sinensis in form of black, green, white and oolong tea was evaluated against four different types of cell lines. These are the AMN3 mammary cell carcinoma, Rhabdomyosarcoma, HeLa cells and Rat embryo fibroblast cells). The results showed greater effect of green and black tea over white tea and oolong tea against mammary cell carcinoma while the results of rhabdomyosarcoma cell line, which is an aggressive cancer cell, revealed a significant inhibitory effect of the growth of these cells by white and oolong tea extracts. All four types show almost equal percent of growth inhibition on HeLa cell line with the white tea been the most significant. A significant inhibitory effect of all tea extracts against the growth of rat embryo fibroblast cells indicated that the cytotoxic effect of the Camellia sinensis extended to normal cells and not specific to cancer cell. In addition, the antitumor effect of tea extracts was investigated (ex vivo) on BALB - c mice bearing - tumor. The volume, shape and color of the tumor masses were examined, in addition to measurement of the tissue malondialdehyde level as a biomarker of the lipid peroxidation, total tumor protein measurement and a histopathological study were done. The white tea showed antitumor effect by attenuating all the biomarkers of tumorogenesis. Herbal tea extracts induced DNA damage in term of separation the double strands molecule of calf thymus double stands DNA and human genomic DNA which may partly explained anti - cancer effect. We concluded that white tea extract is a promising nutrient that ameliorates the histopathological changes in mice bearing mammary tumor via generation reactive oxygen species by the evidence of activation lipid peroxidation process. Camellia sinensis plant can induce non harmful effect on DNA

المستخلص: Doxorubicin is a member of anthracycline antibiotic that widely used in the treatment of different types of cancer such as hematological malignances, solid tumors, and different organ tumors, doxorubicin is very efficient in the treatment of cancer. But the use of doxorubicin is limited by the side effect of doxorubicin on the same organ, the most important organ that affected by doxorubicin is the heart, the toxicity of doxorubicin in the heart, the use of doxorubicin due to the cardiotoxicity that induced by doxorubicin will lead to cardiomyopathy and in the final result of these cardiotoxicity lead to congestive heart failure that occurred secondary to the cardiotoxicity may appear after long period of termination of treatment by doxorubicin.ObjectivesThe aim of the present study its investigate the possible modulation effect of drugs (verapamil, cyclosporine, labetalol) on the cardiotoxicity that induced by doxorubicin drug. Animals and methods forty Dwale - Spargue male rats where enrolled in this study, the animals divided into groups, (5) rats in each group and assigned as I,II,III,IV,V,VI,VII,VIII.Group I : received physiological saline (5ml/kg), orally, daily for ten days and served as the control.Group II : received a single dose of doxorubicin (15mg/kg), intraperitoneal and was sacrificed after 48 hours which served as doxorubicin group.Group III : received verapamil (5mg/kg), orally daily for ten days and on day eight, one hour after drug administration, a single dose of doxorubicin (15mg/kg), intraperitoneal were given.Group IV : received cyclosporine (0.5mg/kg), orally daily for ten days, and on day eight, one hour after drug administration, a single dose of doxorubicin (15mg/kg, intraperitoneal) was given.Group V : received cyclosporine (1mg/kg), orally daily for ten days ,and on day eight ,one hour after drug administration a single dose of doxorubicin (15mg/kg),intraperitoneal was given. Group VI : received both of verapamil (5mg/kg,orally) and cyclosporine (0.5mg/kg,orally) one hour apart, daily for ten days ,and on day eight, one hour after drug administration ,a single dose of doxorubicin (15mg/kg), intraperitoneal was given.Group VII : received labetalol (0.5mg/kg), orally daily for ten days, and on day eight, one hour after drug administration, a single dose of doxorubicin (15mg/kg, intraperitoneal) was given. Group VIII : received labetalol (1mg/kg, orally),daily for ten days ,and on day eight ,one hour after drug administration ,a single dose of doxorubicin (15mg/kg), intraperitoneal was given.Serum MDA, LDH, Troponin I, and interleukine - 17. Were measured and histopathological changes also viewed?ResultsThe results in this study showed an increase in the cardiac biomarkers in the doxorubicin group compared to the control group, the cardiac biomarkers that measured are LDH, MDA, Troponin I, interleukine - 17. Also the results showed histopathalogical changes in cardiac tissue in doxorubicin group as compared to the control group, also the results showed the pre - treatment with verapamil, cyclosporine low dose, cyclosporine high dose, combination of verapamil and cyclosporine low dose, labetalol low dose, labetalol high dose showed decreasing in the cardiac biomarkers MDA, LDH, Troponin I, interleukine - 17 to a significant amount compared to the doxorubicin group, also showed histopathlogical improvement in cardiac tissue. Conclusions Doxorubicin drug used as antineoplastic agent will produce a toxic effect on the cardiac tissue, this toxic effect will limit the use of doxorubicin, cyclosporine, labetalol and verapamil produced differential effects and protection from Doxorubicin induced cardio toxicity via amelioration of cardiac biomarkers and histopathological changes

المستخلص: تعتبر الاحصائيات الصحية الرصينة ضرورة لاتخاذ القرارات السليمة في كل مستويات النظام الصحي. ولكن في الحقيقة ان نظم المعلومات الصحية في معظم البلدان تعتبر غير كافية لتوفير المعلومات اللا زمة لدعم الادارة الصحية ولهذا فان معظم النظم الحالية تعتبر كعائق اداري | Sound health statistics are essential for health decision - making at all levels of the health system. Unfortunately, health information systems in most countries are inadequate in providing the needed management support and the current systems are therefore widely seen as management obstacles rather than as tools, the current study is an attempt to assess the health information system in Iraq with recognizing the strengths, weaknesses and gaps in addition to assessment of the structure and performance of this system; it also attempts to assess the behavioral, technical and organizational determinants affecting the health information system performance. A cross - sectional study was conducted for the assessment process and the levels of the assessment included the ministry of health (national level), the health directorates (provincial level), the districts related to the health directorates reaching to the health centers level, as well as the hospitals related to the health directorates, in addition to the ministry of planning and the ministry of interior. In addition to ministry of health (central level) a total of six governorates were selected by simple random sampling including the capital Baghdad with a seven districts were selected from those governorates also by simple random sampling and a total of twenty six health centers were selected from those districts, as well a total of seven hospitals were included in the study from all governorate and they were selected according to convenience. The interview has been done by using the health metrics network assessment tool version 4, in addition to a complementary assessment tools which are the PRISM package tools that were used at the district and primary health center levels. Based on the data collected and according to the health metric network assessment tool findings the overall health information system has laid in the adequate state (65.96%) with most of its comprising components function poorly. Data dissemination and use and data management categories were the weakest with a score of 50% and 53.3% respectively, while for the resources category it was found to be adequate 63.3%, and for that of HIS indicators, data sources and information product categories they were 73.3%, 66% and 69.6% respectively. For that of the PRISM tools and the findings obtained by them from the collected data the results revealed that a low data quality in term of accuracy with 29.03% at the facility level and 55.35% at the district level, while the completeness rate was excellent with a score 96.38% at the facility level and 98.23% at the district level, for that of the timeliness it was 70.43% timeliness at the district level. The information use for a given feedback at the facility was 50% and at the district was 82.12% and for observed meeting records it was 50% for the facility and 41.6% for the district level. For that of the functionality a 34.61and 67.30% of the facilities reported having a reminder mechanism for data completeness process and meeting a deadline for submitting monthly reports respectively, Data analysis was better at the district 85.71% than at the facility 81.7%, Data display were present in all of the facilities and districts. For the technical determinant the results showed 57%, 85.7%, 71.4% and 100% of the district respondents felt that the form is complex and difficult to follow, data software is a user - friendly, information technology is easy to manage and a comprehensive picture of the health system performance is captured by the system respectively,85.7% believed that the information system collecting information from some vertical programs and one district reported of no collection at all, in addition to that 100% reported the absence of a software that integrates data from different information systems and the available information technology doesn't provide full access procedure to district and senior managers. Regarding the behavioral determinants the results revealed that overall mean confidence for the information system tasks is 69.41% while for that of the task competence the overall mean competence level is 37.1%. Knowledge of checking data quality, knowledge of health information system rationale and problem solving showed results of 35.32% 37.68% and 2.98% respectively, and that of motivation level was 43.4%. Organizational determinants results revealed that the management functions at facility and district levels were almost absent, while for the perceived promotion of a culture of information it showed a total score of 63.96% and rewarding for a good performance was 56.83%. The activities for promotion of a culture of information are a 25% at the facility level and 28.75% at the district level. And that of supervision quality at the facility were (72.80%). Availability of resources revealed that 100% of the facilities have two or more computers and calculators respectively while only 57.7% have an internet access. Access to the electricity and water supply is very high, No facility reported of running out in registers in the last 12 months. Finally, the current study shows the importance for the need of further attention to be drawn to HIS, in addition to that, increasing the awareness and well coordinated efforts that need to be done to overcome weaknesses and to provide a well functioning HIS enabling for evidence based decision making and action provision in the health system.

Aim of the study : The present study investigated the influence of pretreatment with rosuvastatin and telmisartan alone or in combination in different doses on doxorubicin induced acute cardiotoxicity in rats using biochemical and histological approaches. Materials and methods : The animals were divided into eight groups of 5 animals each. The first group received no drug(s) po but a single dose of distilled water (7.5 ml/kg, ip) on day eight, which serves as the control group. The second group received no drug(s) po but a single dose of doxorubicin (15 mg/kg, ip) on day eight, and serves as doxorubicin only received group. The third and sixth group received rosuvastatin (2 , 10) mg/kg/day respectively for nine successive days, and on day eight, one hour after drug administration, a single dose of doxorubicin (15 mg/kg, ip) was given. The fourth and seventh group received telmisartan (2 , 4) mg/kg/day respectively for nine successive days, and on day eight, one hour after drug administration, a single dose of doxorubicin (15 mg/kg, ip) was given. The fifth and eighth group received both drugs, where the fifth group received both of rosuvastatin (2 mg/kg, po) and telmisartan (2 mg/kg, po), 1 hour apart, daily for nine successive days, and on day eight, one hour after drug administration, a single dose of doxorubicin (15 mg/kg, ip) was given. While the eighth group received both of rosuvastatin (10 mg/kg, po) and telmisartan (4 mg/kg, po), 1 hour apart, daily for nine successive days, and on day eight, one hour after drug administration, a single dose of doxorubicin (15 mg/kg, ip) was given.At day ten of the study, blood samples were taken for biochemical analysis, then animals were sacrificed and hearts were taken for histopathological observations. Results : Rats treated with doxorubicin showed cardiotoxicity as evidenced by significant elevation of serum cardiac troponin (CTn - I) level, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity, serum malondialdehyde (MDA) level, and interluekine 17 (IL - 17) level associated with important histopathological alterations while pre - treatment with rosuvastatin and telmisartan elicited a significant decrease in the activities of all markers measured in comparison with doxorubicin treated group with pronounced resolution of Dox induced cardiac histological changes to a milder picture.Conclusion : These results suggest pretreatment with rosuvastatin and telmisartan alone or in combination provide a significant protective effect against acute - doxorubicin induced cardiotoxicity in rats represented by biochemical markers and histological approaches.

المستخلص: الاستسقاء هو مصطلح يطلق على الجهاز الهضمي لتراكم السوائل في التجويف البريتوني (البطني) الناجمة عن كل من الامراض غير الخبيثة مثل تليف الكبد، والتهاب الصفاق السلي... الخ، والامراض الخبيثة مثل سرطان غشاء البطن المنتشر، وسرطان الثدي وسرطان المبيض. لقد تم | Ascites is a gastroenterological term for an accumulation of fluid in the peritoneal cavity caused by both non - malignant disease such as cirrhosis, tuberculous peritonitis..etc, and by malignant disease such as metastatic adenocarcinoma, breast cancer and ovarian cancer. The work in this thesis was done to evaluate the role of the multiple biochemical parameters and group of tumour markers in the differentiation between malignant ascites from non - malignant ascites. A number of parameters were obtained from (60) sixty patients : (30) thirty with malignant ascites and (30) thirty with non - malignant ascites (as controls), all patients admitted to the department of gastroenterology in Medical City - Baghdad Teaching Hospital, Oncology Teaching Hospital and Al - Amal Hospital between December 2013 and July 2014. The biochemical parameters and tumour markers which have been measured in the present study included : total protein, albumin, uric acid, calcium(Ca++), carcinoembryonic antigen(CEA),cancer antigen(CA19 - 9), cancer antigen(CA15 - 3), cancer antigen(CA125) and ? - human chorionic gonadotropin (? - hCG).The statistical analysis for the data obtained in the present study showed : 1 - Highly significant increase of CA15 - 3, ? - hCG and ascitic fluid/serum (A/S) total protein ratio in malignant ascitic fluid while there is significant decrease of serum ascites albumin gradient (SAAG) and serum ascites cholesterol gradient (SACG) in malignant ascites compared with non - malignant ascites patients (p<0.0005, p<0.0005, p<0.05, p<0.0005 and p<0.005 respectively). Thus the level of these parameters in ascitic fluid could be used as a good parameters in differentiation between malignant ascites from non - malignant ascites patients.2 - Significant increase in serum CA15 - 3 and ? - hCG level in malignant ascites patients compared to non - malignant ascites (p<0.05 and p<0.0005 respectively). 3 - Significant increase of CEA, CA19 - 9, total protein, albumin, uric acid and Ca++ level in ascitic fluid of malignant ascites patients compared to non - malignant ascites (p<0.0005, p<0.005, p<0.005, p<0.005, p<0.05 and p<0.05 respectively), thus the level of these parameters in ascitic fluid could be used as a helpful parameters in differentiation between malignant ascites from non - malignant ascites patients. 4 - Significant increase in serum of CEA, CA19 - 9, albumin, uric acid and Ca++ level in malignant ascites patients compared to non - malignant ascites (p<0.05, p<0.05, p<0.05, p<0.05 and p<0.05 respectively) while there is no significant differences in serum total protein level of malignant ascites compared to non - malignant ascites (p>0.05). 5 - CA125 level in ascitic fluid and serum of malignant ascites patients shows no significant increase compared to non - malignant ascites (p>0.05 and p>0.05 respectively), therefor CA125 test in ascitic fluid cannot be used as a parameter in differentiation between malignant ascites from non - malignant ascites patients.CA15 - 3, ? - hCG, (A/S) total protein ratio, SAAG and SACG can be considered as a good parameters in differentiation of malignant from non - malignant ascites, while CEA, CA19 - 9, total protein, albumin,Ca++ and uric acid level in spite of their increase in malignant ascitic fluid but this increase is not considered as a diagnostic factor and can be used as a helpful parameters in the differentiation between malignant from non - malignant ascites. CA125 has no useful role in diagnosis or differentiation between malignant from non - malignant ascites.

المستخلص: The adipocytokine leptin is a major player in the pathogenesis of diabetes mellitus and obesity. Since its discovery around 20 years ago, leptin has been; and still is; the subject of extensive research.The current study was designed to examine the effects of physiological doses of leptin on major organs involved in metabolism. The anatomical, histochemical, physiological, and biochemical effects of leptin were studied in healthy animals and in animal models of type 1 and type 2 diabetes.Eighty male albino mice were divided into three groups. The first group (A) consisted of healthy non - obese non - diabetic animals, a subgroup (A1) of which received leptin therapy to study its effects under normal conditions without metabolic disturbances. In the second group (B), a model of diet induced obesity and insulin resistance was developed using a combination of high fat diet and low dose streptozocin injection. In one subgroup (B1), the effects of leptin were studied under dietary manipulation after the discontinuation of high fat diet. In other subgroups, leptin effects were examined with continuous HFD with (B3) and without (B2) concomitant metformin therapy. The third group animals (C) represented a type 1 DM model developed by high dose streptozocin injection. A subgroup (C3) served as model control, not receiving any hormonal therapy. The others two subgroups received leptin treatment with (C2) and without (C1) concomitant insulin therapy.Statistical parameters for the study included the body weight, food and caloric consumption, adiposity index and specific organ weights and weight ratios. The epididymal fat pad, liver and pancreas were examined for gross anatomical and histological changes. Adipose tissue and some pancreatic sections were stained with H&E, liver sections were stained with periodic acid schiff stain, other pancreatic sections were stained with modified Gomori's aldehyde fuchsin. Random blood sugar and serum lipid levels and insulin tolerance test were also studied as biochemical parameters.Leptin therapy in healthy non - obese animals resulted in a reduction in food consumption, body weight, adiposity index and white fat pads weight. It also caused a reduction in the diameter and surface area of epididymal adipocytes. Serum TGL and LDL levels were significantly reduced. iiiThe same effects were seen in group B animals that underwent dieting or received metformin, but not in ones receiving leptin alone. Animal models of type 1 DM showed a moderate response to leptin therapy alone but the response was dramatically enhanced when treatment was combined with insulin. Sever weight loss and polyphagia of type 1 DM were greatly ameliorated by leptin therapy and there was an improvement in fat pad weights and adipocyte measurements. The hepatic glycogen content and insulin sensitivity were greater in animals treated with leptin (A1), on diet and leptin (B1) or metformin (B3) and in animals on leptin with insulin (C1). This was associated with significantly lower levels of random blood sugar. The pancreatic islet surface area was markedly reduced while the ? - cell/ ? - cell ratio was increased in treated animals.Leptin therapy can alter body weight and adiposity index by affecting appetite and food consumption via central and peripheral mechanisms involving the control of feeding behavior and manipulating the processes involved in carbohydrate and lipid metabolism. It can also correct the metabolic disturbances of type 2 DM but requires the concomitant use of metformin and/or the manipulation of dietary content of fat and carbohydrates. Much of its influence arises from its ability to enhance insulin sensitivity.Leptin also has a sparing effect on hepatic glycogen, favoring in turn the use of fatty acids for energy expenditure. Leptin effects on blood glucose are insulin dependent in most cases but can be insulin - independent in type 1 DM by utilizing alternative metabolic pathways for energy expenditure and interacting with hyperglycemia - inducing hormones.

المستخلص: التصلب المتعدد (MS) هو من امراض الجهاز العصبي المركزي الاكثر شيوعا الذي يسبب الاعاقه الدائمه لدى الشباب البالغين. بناء على ادلة غير مباشرة قوية، يعتبر مرض التصلب المتعدد اضطراب المناعة الذاتية لعضو محدد ولكن لا يزال هناك الكثير يجب ان يفهم عن كيفيه نشوء ا | Multiple sclerosis (MS) is the most common disease of the central nervous system that causes permanent disability in young adults. Based on strong circumstantial evidence, MS is considered to be an organ - specific autoimmune disorder, but much remains to be understood about the initiation of the disease. It seems unlikely that MS results from a single causative event, but rather the disease develop in a genetically susceptible population as a result of environmental exposures. The present study was planned to determine the serum levels of IL - 17A, IL - 21 and Myelin Oligodendrocyte Glycoprotein (MOG) in patients and control subjects by a sandwich ELISA test using commercially available kits. Vitamin D total was measured in a group of patients and control subjects by cobas e 411 analyzers which is an automated multichannel analyzer for immunological analysis by the use of electrochemiluminescence (ECL) technology.Forty Iraqi MS patients attending the Consultation Clinic for Multiple Sclerosis / Baghdad Teaching Hospital during the period January 2013 - July 2013 were recruited for this study. For the purpose of comparison, 40 control subjects matched by age and gender were also included.The mean serum level of MOG in patient and control (554.85 vs. 315.20pg/ml) and IL - 17A (11.42 vs. 8.33pg/ml) was significantly higher in MS patients as compared to controls, while the mean serum level of IL - 21 (176.164 vs. 75.714pg/ml) was not significantly higher in MS patients as compared to controls. The mean serum level of vitamin D (n=20) (10.38 vs. 13.06ng/ml) was not significantly lower in MS patients as compared to controls. There was a positive correlation between MOG with IL - 17A and between MOG with IL - 21. These results might illustrate the synergism of action between antibody and T cell response in MS patients. A positive correlation was also detected between IL - 17A and IL21 in MS patients.A significant negative correlation was detected between Vitamin D with MOG. A negative correlation was recorded between Vitamin D and IL - 17A in patients. Also negative correlation was recorded between vitamin D and IL - 21 in MS patients. In conclusion, higher level of IL - 17A and MOG in MS serum indicates an important role of this cytokine and MOG as an auto antigen in the pathogenesis of multiple sclerosis and demyelination process, so they could be considered as a good biomarkers for diagnosis and considered as a target for future therapy.

المستخلص: ابيضاض الدم النقياني المزمن هو اضطراب التكاثر النقي النسيلي للخلايا الجذعية ويتميز بواسطة فلادلفيا كروموسوم وهو انتقال متبادل بين كروموسوم 9 و22. الجين المسرطن المتحد الجديد المتولد على كروموسوم 22 كنتيجة للانتقال يسمى BCR - ABL gene. في اغلبية المرضى, هذ | Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is a clonal myeloproliferative disorder of the haemopoietic stem cell, defined by the Philadelphia chromosome (Ph) - reciprocal translocation between chromosomes 9 and 22. The novel fusion oncogenes generated on chromosome 22 as a result of this translocation are called BCR - ABL gene. In the majority of patients, this oncogene transcribes a 210 - kDa constitutively active protein tyrosine kinase, often referred to as p210BCR - ABL, which is necessary for the transformation of the disease. The introduction of tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) - imatinib mesylate (IM) - marked a major advance in CML treatment in terms of efficacy and tolerability and has now become the first line of therapy. In CML, besides genetic change during which a normal cell is transformed into a malignant one, evasion of apoptosis (programm cell death PCD) is one of the essential changes in a cell that cause malignant transformation. So ‘Evading apoptosis’ has been recognized as one of the six hallmarks of cancers, as reduced apoptosis or its resistance plays a vital role in carcinogenesis. Soluble receptors (sFas) that act as decoys, binding FasL and preventing association with transmembrane Fas. So production of sFas in tumor patients may be a key mechanism to inhibit Fas - mediated apoptosis. Soluble FasL competes with the membrane - bound counterpart; however, it can act even as an antagonist preventing apoptosis induction by the membrane integrated form of the ligand. Recently, caspase - 3 has been demonstrated to play an important role in determining the cellular sensitivity to diverse apoptotic stimuli, also it is involved in a number of non - apoptotic events. So the aims of the study were to estimate the level of serum sFas, sFas ligand & caspase - 3 in patients with chronic myeloid leukemia at time of diagnosis (newly diagnosed), then after receiving imatinib myselate treatment with optimal response and compare them with healthy control. It was a prospective study, included 56 Iraqi CML patients (25 were males and 31 were females with Age ranged from 15 - 78 years) attending to Baghdad teaching hospital/hematology department between November 2012 up to June 2013, were categorized by fluorescence in situ hybridization analysis (FISH) for Ph chromosome into two stages, newly diagnosed CML patients (FISH Ph cells result ? 90% ) not received any treatment and optimally treated (complete cytogenetic response (CCgR) = FISH Ph cells result < 1% or by major molecular response (MMoR) = BCR - ABL : ABL ?0.10% by International Scale, on RT - Q - PCR) with imatinib mesylate 400 mg/day at least 1 year. Then used an ELISA technique to assess serum level of sFas, sFas Ligand (sFasL) & Caspase - 3 for each patients of CML, and compared them with 28 apparently healthy volunteers used as control. The controls were age and sex matched with the patients, they were not taken medication and with no history of chronic illness and/or acute infection. As well as, they were nonsmoker and nondrinker. For patients the inclusion criteria including all patients were free of fever and other chronic illness such as diabetes mellitus, hypertension and infection; also they had no history of smoking and drinking of alcohol. And the exclusion criteria including patients suffering from any chronic, debilitating disease and other blood disorders were not taken.The observed results revealed the following : ? Patients were included in the study, male : female ratio was 0.8 : 1with mean age 42.6± 14.0.? The mean± SD serum of sFas levels (pg/ml) for the newly diagnosed and optimally responded of CML was 1163.6±231.5 and 1021.7±360.6 respectively.? The mean± SD serum of sFas Ligand levels (pg/ml) for the newly diagnosed and optimally responded of CML was 216.9±165.7 and 147.7±91 respectively. ? The median serum of Caspase - 3 (ng/ml) for the newly diagnosed and optimally treated cases was 0.421 and 0.361 respectively. ? The mean± SD serum of sFas and sFas Ligand levels (pg/ml) for the healthy group was 970.1±361.7, 152.5±98 consequently. The median serum of Caspase - 3 (ng/ml) for the healthy group was 0.314.? Serum sFas level was increased in newly diagnosed compare with optimal responder and healthy control group. Also serum sFas level in optimal responder group was increase when compared with healthy control group. The differences observed were no statistical significance (P=0.09).? Serum sFasL level was increased in newly diagnosed patients of CML when compared with optimal responder and healthy control group. But serum sFasL level in optimal responder group was decreased when compared with healthy control group. The differences observed were non statistical significance (P=0.07).? Serum Caspase - 3 level showed statistically significant (P ?0.001) increase in newly diagnosed when compared with healthy control group. While it was in optimal responder group was statistically increased (not significant P=0.13) when compared with healthy control group. And its level was increased in newly diagnosed compare with responder group which was statistically significant (P= 0.04).Finally, this study concluded that increase in sFas and sFas Ligand &Caspase - 3 in newly diagnosed CML patients compared with optimally and healthy control groups. Also concluded that Caspase - 3 was a good confirmed test to diagnose newly CML cases

المستخلص: ما زال الكثيرون لا يعرفون الاهمية السريرية لفيروس تي تي الذى رشح كاحد فايروسات التهاب الكبد انماط A - G)).ان فيروس تي تي يصيب المرضى المعرضين لخطر الحقن ونقل الدم المتكرر، كما في المرضى المصابين بفقر دم البحر الابيض المتوسط(? - Thalassemia major). تمت هذة | Much is still unknown about the clinical significance of TT virus (TTV) that has been reported as a candidate for non A - G hepatitis virus. TTV infects patients at risk for parenteral exposure and chronic blood transfusion, such as those with ? - thalassemia major. This study was designed to investigate the prevalence and clinical importance of TTV infection in thalassemia patients with or without hepatitis C virus (HCV) co - infection, furthermore to sequence and analyse phylogentic of TTV clones.One hundred fifty four thalassemia patients (64.3% male, 35.7% female) with a mean age of 23.8±6.8 years were involved in this study that was conducted in the period between Feb. to Dec. 2013. TTV DNA was detected using Real time PCR. Furthermore, conventional PCR was done for sequencing and phylogenetic analysis using N22 region from open reading frame 1 (ORF1). Anti - HCV antibody was determined by Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) and confirmed by western blot. Then, HCV core antigen was detected in those anti - HCV Abs seropositive samples. Liver transaminases (ALT, AST) were determined, in addition to measure serum ferritin levels by VIDAS ferritin. TTV was detected in 45 of 154 (29.2%) of thalassemia patients with predominance of males than females (64.4% vs. 35.6%). The prevalence rate of anti - HCV Abs were 54.5% with significant increase in females than males (p<0.05).Out of these 84 samples, 59 (70.2%) were positive by HCV core Ag assay and related significantly to frequency of blood transfusion. According to HCV and TTV infection status, patients were categorized into six groups : Anti - HCVAb+ HCV core Ag + TTV+, Anti - HCVAb+ HCV core Ag + TTV - , Anti - HCVAb+ HCV core Ag - TTV+, Anti - HCVAb+ HCV core - TTV - , Anti - HCVAb - TTV+, Anti - HCVAb - TTV - . The increased levels of ALT, AST and ferritin in the HCV and TTV infected group were not significantly different from those in the TTV and HCV negative groups. Co - infection of TTV and HCV were significantly increase ALT levels compared to infection with HCV alone. No association of TTV infection was found with gender, age and frequency of blood transfusion.The results of genotyping in 12 randomly selected patients showed the presence of equal percentage of genotype 1 (G1) and genotype 2 (G2) 50% for each one, with homology between them 79.0%. Other TTV genotypes were not identified in the present study suggesting that G1and G2 are predominant in this area. Mixed infection of the same patient with multiple TTV genotypes was observed. The results concluded that TTV is moderately present in Iraqi thalassemia patients, with G1 and G2 were predominant. Patients co - infected with HCV and TTV had a significantly higher serum ALT level than those without TTV infection, so TTV infection is suggested to have a role in increasing the severity of liver diseases in the thalassemia patients when co - infected with HCV.
