المستخلص: مرض قصور الشرايين التاجية هو النتيجة النهائية لتراكم اللويحات العصيدية ضمن جدران الشرايين التاجية مسببة نقص الاوكسجين وبالتالي حدوث مرض القلب الاقفاري. ويعتبر من الامراض الشائعة واحد الاسباب الرئيسية لحالات الوفاة في العالم. اضافة الى عوامل الخطورة التقلي | Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the end result of the accumulation of atheromatous plaque within the walls of the coronary arteries resulting in shortage of oxygen supply and ischemic heart disease (IHD). It was consider as one of the most common diseases and major causes of worldwide morbidity and mortality. In addition to traditional risk factors for cardiovascular disease, nowadays, accumulating evidence indicates that a variety of infectious agents may contribute to pathogenesis of CAD. The present study evaluated the anti - Helicobacter pylori IgG and IgA and the role of virulence factor of H. pylori cytotoxin associated gene (Cag A) and vacuolating associated cytotoxin (Vac A) as a risk factors for CAD.Eighty patients were divided into 2 groups : first group was 70 patients with CAD, the other group contained 10 patients with another coronary artery disease; they were admitted to Ibn Al - Bitar Specialist Center for Cardiac Surgery in Baghdad between October 2013 and January 2014. Ten individuals used as a healthy control group. All blood samples were tested biochemically such as glucose test, urea test, creatinine test and lipid profile test(cholesterol, triglyceride, LDL and HDL) and all of them showed normal results. The present study revealed that males were affected more than females (3 : 1); with no relation between their ages and bacterial infection.Serum IgG and IgA was Estimated by indirect immunofluorescent (IIF) whereas Cag A, Vac A and high sensitive C - reactive protein (hs - CRP) measured by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and compared to control group results.The incidence of the anti - H.pylori IgG was highly significantly prevalent in CAD patients 78.57% (55/70), than in control group 0% (0/10), also a high significant difference in another CAD patient group 100%(10/10) as compared to control group 0% (0/10) (P? 0.01).Similarly anti - H. pylori IgA in CAD patients and another CAD patient groups showed highly significant increase when compared to control group 37.14% (26/70), 30% (3/10) and 0% (0/10) respectively (P? 0.01).The incidence of the CagA - positivity was significantly prevalent in mean value (2.74±0.19) in patients with CAD and another CAD patient group(2.72±0.31) than in control group (1.64± 0.16) (P? 0.05). Same result was observed with Vac A antigen; mean value of patient group showed significant increase (1.299 ± 0.04) when compared to controls group (1.41±0.13) (P? 0.05). Also significant increase found between another CAD patient group(1.79±0.17) and control group (1.41±0.13) (P? 0.05). Furthermore; the present study revealed significant differences of concentration levels between hs - CRP in CAD patient group (4.95 ± 0.38 µg/ml) as compared to control group (0.77 ± 0.06 µg/ml), as well as a significant differences found between another CAD patient group (3.96 ± 0.96 µg/ml) as compared to control group (0.77 ± 0.06 µg/ml) (P? 0.05).

المستخلص: تناولت هذه الدراسة عددا من العضلات الهيكلية في نوعين من الطيور الطائرة (الحمام) وغير الطائرة (الدجاج). العدد الكلي للطيور المستعملة 30 طائرا, 15 من الدجاج و15 من الحمام تمت دراسة بعض الخصائص الفسلجية والنسيجية للالياف العضلية الحمر والبيض والوسطية وحساب | This study deals with a number of skeletal muscles in two types of birds ; flying (pigeon) and running (chicken) types. The total number of the studied birds was 30; 15 were chicken and 15 were pigeons. Some of the physiological and histological characteristics of the muscle fibers (red, white, and intermediate) , the percentage of fibers diameter in the studied muscles, and the change noted in the muscle weight with advancing age had been calculated. The species of the chicken in this study was Gallus domesticus , while the species of the pigeons was Columba livia domestica. The muscles that is used in the study were : pectoralis muscle, femortibialis, triceps, biceps brachii, extensor carpi radialis muscle, and gastrocnemius muscles in two age groups of birds; (3 - 6) months and (6 - 12) months in order to know the changes in the weights, numbers, diameters, and sizes of the muscle fibers that occur with advancing age. The aim of this study is to identify the three types of the muscle fibers their role in the muscle movement and the regions in which there is specific type rather than others. The results had shown that the skeletal muscles in birds consist of heterogenous mixture of the three types of muscle fibers (red, white, and intermediate) , and the white muscle fibers are the predominant type in the pectoralis muscle of both types of birds, and the size of white muscle fibers in the pectoralis muscle in the chickens in the first age group was 73.8%, and in the second age group was 82.9%. While in pigeons, the size of white muscle fibers was 75.5% in the first age group, and 75.4% in the second age group. In addition, the present study deals with the relationship between the muscles weights and the age of the bird in that the muscles show increased weight with advancing age in both types of birds and there were significant differences in muscles weight in both age groups (p?0.05), while the triceps muscle did not show significant difference regarding weight between the two age groups in the same type of birds. The results of the study also show the differences in the diameter of the muscle fibers, that is there was continuous increase in the diameters with advancing age and show significant differences (p?0.05) , but regarding pectoralis muscle there was no significant differences in diameters with advancing age in both types of birds. The results of the study also show that the pectoralis muscle was the largest muscle in the body of the bird, and the ratio of its weight to the total body weight was relatively large.

The two experiments were conducted at the field of College of Agriculture/Al - Qadisiya University during the period from 31/10/2012 to 14/3/2013. For the field experiment, dry and fresh leaves of Eucalyptus were used at the rate of 0, 2, 3, or 6 g dry leaves/Kg soil or at the rate of 0, 4, 8, or 12g fresh leaves/kg soil. Plant height, changes in height during plant life time - course, number of branches, number of flowers, and flower diameter were measured. In addition, chlorophyll content in leaves, anthocyanin in petals, dry weight, nitrogen percent, potassium and phosphorous content in leaves were also determined. For the laboratory experiment, ethanol extract, oil, terpenes, alkaloid, and phenols extracted from Eucalyptus leaves at different concentrations were used. Seed germination, coefficient velocity of germination, plumule and radical length, sugar, protein, melanodialdehyde, glutathione and proline content were evaluated. The results were as follow : 1. Ethanolic extract was negatively affect the percent and coefficient velocity of germination in addition to plumule and radicle length. The reduction in these parameters was greater at the highest concentration of the extract, especially in Calendula officinalis. 2. Treatment with oil extracted from Eucalyptus leaves caused a significant reduction in percent and coefficient velocity of germination, plumule and radical length. 3. Terpenes, alkaloids or phenols treatments at different concentrations resulted in significant reduction in percent and coefficient velocity of germination, plumule and radical length. The reduction was increased as the concentration of the treatments increased. 4. Plant height decreased significantly due to the treatment with dry or fresh Eucalyptus leaves, the reduction in plant height increased as the concentration of the treatment increases in all plants except Asteriscus graveolens plant which showed that the small concentrations of both treatments. It was close to ward in an increase in plant height. 5. Number of branches also significantly decreased when ornamental plants treated with dry or fresh Eucalyptus leaves; the Calendula officinalis plant was the most affected. 6. For the changes in ornamental plants height, as a result of treatment with dry or fresh leaves of Eucalyptus, during life time - course, it was clear the growth curve was close to the S - shape growth curve with obvious significant differences for most treatments compare to control. 7. Dry weight percent was significantly affected in all ornamental plants when they treated with dry or fresh Eucalyptus leaves, If decreased with the concentration of the treatments increased. 8. It was obvious that treatment with dry or fresh Eucalyptus leaves resulted in significant reduction in flower number and flower diameter. Number of flowers decreased as the concentration of the treatments increased. on the other hand, flower was diameter increased as the concentration of the treatments increased, but in both cases it was less than the control. All one obvious that reducing significant in flower diameter, It was reducing great in low levels. 9. Chlorophyll content was also decreased in leaves, while anthocyanin content in petals was increased when the ornamental plants treated with dry or fresh Eucalyptus leaves. 10. Nirogen percent, phosphorus and potassium content in leaves of the four ornamentals decreased when they treated with dry or fresh Eucalyptus leaves. 11. Using terpenes, alkaloids and phenols caused significant increase in sugar content in leaves of the ornamentals, reaching its highest values at the highest concentration of the terpenes. For protein content, it was gradually decreased as the terpens, alkaloids and phenols concentrations increased in Calendula officinalis. In Tagetes patula, protein content was noticeably increased with the increasing in concentrations of the treatments. 12. Malondialdehyde, glutathione and proline content increased significantly in Calendula officinalis and Tagetes patula plants when they treated with terpenes, alkaloids or phenols. 13. Interaction between treatments concentrations and kind of plants had significant effect on all parameters measured.

المستخلص: يعد الاخصاب خارج الجسم الحي (IVF) من احد اهم التقنيات المستخدمة لانتاج اعداد كبيرة من الاجنة لبحوث التطور الاساسيه والبيولوجيا الجزيئية لنضوج البويضات المختبري والاخصاب. يعتمد الاخصاب خارج الجسم الحي وظروف حفظ الجنين المثلى على مكونات الوسط الزرعي كونها ا | In vitro fertilization (IVF) is one of the most important techniques used to produce large numbers of embryos for research into the basic development and molecular biology of in vitro oocytes maturation and fertilization. Optimal IVF and embryo culture conditions depend on the composition of culture media being the most important determinants of success in vitro interaction of the gametes and subsequent embryo development. Adenosine 5 - triphosphate (ATP) is a fundamental factor to maintain life, by providing energy, and controlling the cell function and metabolism. Objectives : The present study aims to investigate the effect of ATP supplied to SMART medium on a rate of fertilization and early embryonic development (ED) in mice as a model for human beings.Materials and Methods : The female mice (90) were superovulated using superovulation program to produce a large number of oocytes. These were divided into three groups, the first group was inseminated with vassal sperm in vitro alone (control); the seconed group (G2) was inseminated with vassal sperm in vitro using SMART medium enriched with low concentration of ATP(1.25mM). The third group (G3) was inseminated with vassal sperm in vitro using SMART medium enriched with high concentration of ATP (2.5mM). Mouse spermatozoa were collected from both vasdeferens. Then sperm parameters were assessed after 30 min. IVF technique was performed for 3 groups, and assessed after 20 - 22h. Then, percentages of early embryonic development stages and abnormal embryos morphology (%) for each embryo stage were assessed.Results : Results of the present study revealed significant increment (P<0.05) in the in - vitro fertilization (%) when using 1.25mM ATP as compared to 2.5 mM ATP and the control group. Significant differences (P<0.05) in the 1 - cell stage were assessed in 2.5mM compared with 1.25mM groups and the control group. Also, Significant differences (P<0.05) in the 2 - cell and 4 - cell stage were assessed in 1.25mM ATP compared with other groups. However, non significant differences in the percentages of abnormal embryos morphology were reported between both treated groups of ATP.Conclusion : From the results of present study it was concluded that the low ATP concentration (1.25mM) enriched to the culture medium improved the percentage of in vitro fertilization and early embryonic development.

The present study designed to investigate the levels of genes expression of five genes panel (MGB1, CK19, MUC1, miR - let7a, and miR - 195) in circulating free mRNA and miRNA from blood of breast cancer patients versus noncancerous samples (benign tumor and healthy controls) to establish a biomarker panel potentially useful for early detection and progression of disease. The expression patterns of the identified genes were then compared with certain clinical features (age, lymph node status, and tumour size).Blood samples from 55 patients with different stages of newly diagnosed invasive ductal carcinoma were provided by certain Iraqi hospitals. Two control groups were used in this study; 10 samples of patients with benign breast tumors, and 20 samples from healthy donors. The samples preservation with TRIzol was done. Samples subjected to total RNA extraction, and then molecular study by using reverse transcription and real time PCR at Molecular Oncology Unit in Guy´s Hospital - Kings College / London.The study reached the following results : 1. The patients’ age range was 24 - 70 years and the median was 49 years with high frequency of patients in the range of 40 - 59 years. According to the family history, 50(90.91%) of patients were have negative family history. According to the clincopathological features (lymph node status and tumor size) the percentages of patients with multiple lymph nodes and tumor size 2.0 - 2.9 cm were the highest groups, which showed statistically highsignificant differences.2. For MGB1 gene expression, the result showed that 30(54.5%) patients were MGB1 - positive while 25(45.4%) patients were MGB1 - negative.According to malignancy status the percentage of patients with high level of MGB1 gene expression 22(40%) was significantly high. In correlation with age groups there was statistically no significant differences in the levels of gene expression with age. In correlation with clincopathological features, lymph node status showed that the highest percentage of MGB1 positive patients 18(66%) were multiple for lymph node status, and the tumor size results showed that there was decreasing in the MGB1 geneexpression with increasing of tumor size. 3. For CK19 the results of present study showed that 41(74.54%) patients were CK19 - positive, while 14(25.46%) patients were CK19 - negative.According to malignancy status the percentage of patients with high level of CK19 gene expression 30(54.45%) was significantly higher in compare with benign tumor patients and healthy controls. In correlation with age groups there was statistically no significant differences in the levels of gene expression with age. In correlation to the clincopathological features, lymph node status results showed that the highest percentage of CK19 positive patients 24(88.89%) were multiple for lymph node status, and there was increasing in the CK19 gene expression with increasing of tumor size.4. Mucin 1 (MUC1) gene expression results showed that the percentage of MUC1 - positive breast cancer patients 72.73%(n=40) was significantly higher when compared with benign tumor patients and healthy controls. According to the age groups the results showed no significant correlation with patients age groups. The clincopathological features results showed that the highest percentage of MUC1 positive patients 84.21%(n=16) have few lymph node status, and there was statistically significant association between the increasing of MUC1 gene expression and tumor size. 5. The miR - 195 gene expression results showed that the percentage of patients with positive miR - 195 gene expression 83.64%(n=46) was significantly higher than patients with negative miR - 195 expression 16.36%, the study also showed that the percentage of high miR - 195 expression samples 69.09% (n = 38) was significantly higher in compare with benign tumor patients and healthy controls. According to the clincopathological features, patients with multiple and few lymph node metastasis were found to have significantly the highest percentages of miR - 195 expression, while the tumor size results showed that there was increasing in the miR - 195 gene expression with increasing of tumor size. 6. The percentage of miR - let 7a - positive breast cancer patients 81.82% was significantly higher, when compared with miR - let 7a - negative patients 18.18%. In correlation to the clincopathological features, results showed no significant correlation in miR - let7a gene expression levels with patients age groups, for lymph node status, the results showed that the highest percentages of let 7a positive patients were those with multiple lymph node and few lymph node metastasis. The tumor size results showed that there was increasing in miR - let 7a gene expression with increasing of tumor size.7.

المستخلص: The study consists of three parts related with patients of CRC as in : 1 - Molecular part 2 - Cytogenetic and molecular genetics part and 3 - Immunological part. In addition of their relatives of clinical and pathological diagnosis, genus, and tumor locations in 150 of Iraqi patients confirmed with CRC collected from Teaching Hospitals of some Iraqi governorates. The percent of male to female (54.66% / 45.43%) and the aged range of study were 16 to 80 years.The first part consist a study of five types of genes related with CRC represented by MLH1, MSH2, APC, K ras, and SMAD7 genes. Some of these genes develop with germline mutations as in MLH 1 exons1 and 15 so as MSH2 genes. While the rest genes related with a sporadic of CRC. All these genes were amplified by conventional polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for study the types of the mutations and their defect of these genes on CRC. The APC exon11and K ras exon1 genes were processed by single strand conformational polymorphism (SSCP) technique. The results of PCR - SSCP technique for two genes represented by appeared three types of bands, which were (AA), (AB) and (AC) bands. The important band was (AB) which constitutes the variability region represented by 84.2% and 44.82% in patients for both genes. The results of patients with mutated bands with high significant differences(P?0.05).compared with healthy control. Patients carried these bands subjected to PCR - Sequences technique. The analysis results for APC gene sequences were substitutions mutations type of single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) change Cytocine to Thiamin (C>T) at 1972 location of genome. While the analysis results of Kras gene appeared two types of mutations, substitution and frame shifts represented by deletion mutation and so as appeared stop codon mutation.The other genes represented by MLH1, MSH2, and SMAD detected by direct PCR - Sequences. The results analysis of MLH1 gene, exon (1and 15) represented by nucleotides change with high frequencies of substitution mutation through exon1 at different locations of nucleotides. So as frame shift mutation type deletion through exon15. While for MSH2 gene, exon 6 from 6.66% represent by deletion mutation. A spread study for SMAD7 gene, exon4 were done through 30 patients average age 52 years (male to female 56.7% : 53.3%) confirmed colorectal adenocarcinoma compared with 15 healthy. A mutation of 20% of (SNPs) were identified.The second part which represented standard conventional cytogenetic and molecular genetics were done through peripheral blood culture (PBC). The study showed increasing of mitotic index (MI) in patients with significant differences (P?0.05) compared with healthy controls indicating for increasing of proliferation of the lymphocytes division. The study showed some chromosomal aberrations with significant, the majority of aberrations were higher significant in dwarf and aneuploidy chromosomes so as elongation chromosomes revealed significant differences (P?0.05) between patients and healthy. The appeared of Polyploidy chromosomes, with significant differences (P?0.05), that’s seem to be good indicator for cancer disease. The molecular genetics alterations which dependent on cytogenetic investigation were done through deletion of long arm of 5 chromosome which APC gene is located. The test elucidates the importance of inactivation (deletion) of APC gene in elicited of colorectal cancer. The study of 20 patients, were investigated by fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH). The results showed 60% patients which have 5q arm deletion of (+). And (5%) have two deletions (++) which was a male aged less than 60 years. The results analysis explained significant differences (p?0.01) between studied group and deletion (+) of arm 5q. A correlation represented by significant differences (p?0.01)through dysfunction of APC gene deletion of 5q were found with high percent among sporadic adenocarcinoma 58.3%, with less in attenuated familial adenomatous polyposis (AFAP) and familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) represented by the (25%), and (16.7) respectively.The last part related with immunological test were done by detection of tumor markers represented by Carcino Embryonic Antigen (CEA), IL - 33 and IL - 31.These markers represented a confirmative indicators for colorectal adenocarcinoma which were tested by ELISA technique in (79) patients confirmed with CRC of male and female. These tumor markers in tested with patients showed high significant differences (p?0.01) compared with healthy controls. Another immunological test for detection of Human papilloma virus (HPV) type 18 E6 gene expression in CRC by Immune histochemistry technique (IHC) in 71 (FFPET) of CRC. The results of this study showed there were a correlations between patients and adenocarcinoma positive HPV18 E6 infection 43.7% of patients infected with virus, with high significant differences (p?0.01) and higher infection in female (67.7%) than male (32.3%). So as a correlations were found between HPV18 E6 expression and tumor tissue locations, explained by high percentage 45.2% in rectum.While a tumor marker was (CD8+) was used to determine its role in human immune surveillance in tumor regions of CRC so as with regions which were infected by HPV. The study revealed high significant differences between healthy control and studied groups which have (CD8+) positive infiltration in tumor origins through detection by (IHC).In conclusions diagnosis of CRC can be detected by special genes like K ras gene through professional PCR processing, compact with tumor markers, so as Fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) technique provides a precise method which can be used for detection of alteration of molecular and cytogenetic related with CRC.

The methanolic and aqueous extracts of M. communis, M. piperita and O. basilicum reported a significant decrease in level of the total cholesterol and Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL) [(181mg/dl, 186mg/dl, 175mg/dl, 172mg/dl, 181mg/dl, 184mg/dl), (118mg/dl, 121mg/dl, 114mg/dl, 109mg/dl, 118mg/dl and 120mg/dl)] respectively, when compared with animals fed on ethanol liquid diet [(195 mg/dl), (132mg/dl) ] respectively while no effect was reported on High Density lipoprotein. The level of triglyceride reduced after the treatment with ethanol liquid diet, and then the level increased after the treatment with M. communis and O. basilicum extracts. The methanolic and aqueous extracts of M. communis, M. piperita and O. basilicum have led to a reduction in the level of glucose in the serum which increased after the treatment with ethanol liquid diet. Methanolic and aqueous extracts decreased the liver enzymes (ALP, SGPT and SGOT) significantly to the normal level (18, 17, 21, 18, 20 and 21) KAU, (19, 19, 16, 13, 17, 17) IU/L and (21, 24, 17, 15, 17 and 19) IU/L respectively after the increase by the treatment with ethanol liquid diet (24) KAU, (26) IU/L, (28) IU/L as compared to control (20) KAU, (12.2) IU/L, (13.5) IU/L, respectively. The level of Interleukin - 2 and Interleukin - 4 in the serum significantly increased in the treatment of alcoholic and aqueous extract of M. communis, M. piperita and O. basilicum [(18 pg /ml, 17 pg /ml, 20 pg /ml, 18 pg /ml, 20 pg /ml, 20 pg /ml), (100 pg/ml, 110 pg/ml, 119 pg/ml, 108 pg/ml, 90 pg/ml, 92pg/ml)] in comparison with ethanol liquid diet treatment [(14 pg /ml), (77 pg/ml)] respectively. While the level of Interleukin - 6 and Interleukin - 10 increased significantly in the serum, when animals were fed with ethanol liquid diet [(259pg/ml) and (501pg/ml)] respectively, and then decreased significantly after the treatment of methanolic, aqueous extract of M. communis, M. piperita and O. basilicum reported [(198 pg/ml, 202pg/ml, 202pg/ml, 201pg/ml, 214pg/ml, 217pg/ml), (370 pg/ml, 385pg/ml, 200pg/ml, 280pg/ml, 350pg/ml and 350pg/ml)] respectively.

المستخلص: This study aimed to determine the frequency of Salmonella Typhimurium and its multi - drug resistance (MDR) status as a diarrheal causative pathogen in children younger than five years old, as well as to investigate the role of four probiotic microorganisms(L.acidophillus, L.casei, S.cerevisiae, S.boulardi) in controlling such infection.For this purpose, 128 stool samples of patients (76 males and 52 females) was included in this study. They were children suffering from diarrhea and fever who admitted to the “Central Pediatric Hospital” in Baghdad during the period from April to September, 2012. Their ages ranged from six days up to five years.The immunological effects of probiotics and MDR S. Typhimurium isolate in the experimentally infected and probiotic - treated mice were investigated via assessing the level of ten cytokines (IFN - ?, IL - 1?, IL - 4, IL - 10, IL - 12, IL - 17A, IL - 21, GM - CSF, RANTES and IP - 10) in the lavage of small intestine. Accordingly, five groups of mice were used in the in vivo part of this study; Mice in group I received probiotic for 7 successive days, challenged with S. Typhimurium on day 8, and dissected on days 14 and 21. Group II wassimilarly treated, but the probiotic was continued for 14 days. Group III was given the probiotic only, and group IV was challenged with S. Typhimurium, while group V was the control.Results obtained in this study could be summarized as follows : 1. Out of 128 stool samples, S. Typhimurium was isolated and identified in 9 samples only (7.03%). All isolates were totally resistant to nalidixic acid, with the exception of one isolate which showed intermediate sensitivity.Furthermore, only one of these isolates (symbolized B) was found to be resistant to three antibiotics (ampicillin, amoxicillin and nalidixic acid).Therefore, this isolate was considered as an MDR isolate and selected for further experiments in the study.2. When the susceptibility of MDR S. Typhimurium isolate B was further assessed in vitro by using four probiotics (Saccharomyces cerevisiae, S. boulardi, Lactobacillus acidophilus and L. casei), results showed that S.cerevisiae and L. acidophilus were the most efficient by recording the highest inhibition zones (12.6 and 16.3 mm, respectively), therefore, they were further investigated for their anti - S. Typhimurium effects in vitro and in vivo. 3. By using the unconcentrated and (one - fold, two - fold, three - fold) concentrated filtrates of these two probiotics, it was found that the three - fold filtrates were most efficient in their antibacterial activity by recording the highest inhibition zones (25.0 mm for S. cerevisiae and 31.0 mm for L. acidophilus.4. Significant increases in the values of liver index were observed in mice of group I treated with L. acidophilus at 21 days (10.73%) compared to the corresponding group treated with S. cerevisiae (7.41%) or other four groups. For spleen, index value in L. acidophilus groups was higher than the corresponding groups in S. cerevisiae. Mice treated with a probiotic alone or in a combination with the pathogen showed significant increases in the spleen index values of all groups compared to the untreated mice (group V).5. Both probiotics were effective in reducing S. Typhimurium colony forming units per plate (cfu/plate) in the liver and spleen. In liver, mice in group IV showed a count of 224.4 cfu/plate, which was significantly higher than any count in groups of L. acidophilus and S. cerevisiae. Group II mice recorded better results than group I mice, while the lowest counts (21.6 and 27.8 cfu/plate for L. acidophilus and S. cerevisiae, respectively), were observed at day 21.6. The ten investigated cytokines showed different levels in the small intestine wash; such differences were subjected to the group of mice underinvestigation and type of probiotics used. In addition, variations in IFN - ?/IL - 4, IFN - ?/IL - 10, IL - 4/IL - 10 and IL - 17A/IL - 10 were also observed.

المستخلص: Several air pollutant concentrations such as Suspended Particulate Matter (SPM), carbon oxides (COx), sulfur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen oxides (NOx), methane (CH4), ozone (O3) and some heavy metals such as lead (Pb) , chromium (Cr), cadmium (Cd), and nickel (Ni). Were measured in selected areas of the Rusafa in Baghdad, Anda’lus square (as a commercial site) and Wazeria district (as industrial site).The results showed that the concentration of air pollutants from gases, SPM (NO2, CO, SO2, and SPM) and heavy metals (Pb, Cr, Cd, and Ni) were exceeded globally and locally permissible limits in both study sites, while the concentration of O3, CO2 were within the globally and locally standard limits in both study sites. Commercial site had recorded higher concentrations of (CO2, SPM, Pb) than those of industrial site. While the industrial site had more pollution with (NO, NO2, CO, CH4, Cr). Results showed a relationship between climate factors and air pollutants, where windspeed, temperature, and relative humidity had influenced on the concentration of air pollutants.Median Lethal Concentration (LC50) to nitrogen dioxide gas was identified, by exposing a community of 30 adult male mice. The mice weights were between 23 - 31gm and their age was 8 - 12 weeks. The mice were randomly divided into five groups (6 male of each group). The exposure periods were 20, 40, 60, 80, 100 minutes using different concentrations 50, 100, 150, 200 ppm.The results showed a higher mortality during 150 and 200 ppm concentrations, for exposure periods of 80 and 100 minutes, but other concentrations have not been recorded. LC50 was calculated 161.86 ppm for 80 minutes and 110.53 ppm for 100 minutes.

Whereas three concentrations (20, 40 and 60) and (10, 15, 25) mg/l respectively for the two carp species were used in the chronic exposure for six weeks. The behavioral, histological and hematological changes were used as a standard to observe these effects through the study period. The value of LC50 for common carp fish were 157.77, 157.25, 156.41 and 152.62 mg/l. For grass carp, LC50 were 115.92, 114.92, 112.94 and 96.52 mg/l for 24, 48, 72, 96 hrs of exposure to 2, 4 - d pesticide concentrations respectively.Behavioral changes were recorded more effects in high concentrations than in low concentrations. To discover the toxic effects of this substance on fish, many parameters were used. They included the clinical symptoms by erratic swimming, hyperactivity, loss of equilibrium with respiratory effects such as rapid gill movement and swam near the water surface. While in chronic effects, blood parameters were changed in Red Blood Cell R.B.C., White Blood Cell W.B.C., Packed Cell Volume P.C.V., Haemoglobin Hb and liver enzyme (GPT & GOT).Values elevated significantly according to the pesticide concentration (P?0.001) and exposure periods (P?0.05) in comparison with control. The histological examination of the gills, liver and kidney of the common and grass carp fish after chronic exposure to 2, 4 - d herbicide showed pathological changes and alterations such as fusion of the secondary lamella, epithelial lifting, blood congestion, epithelial hypertrophy of the lamellar epithelium and epithelial necrosis. In the liver, pathological changes were seen, including hepatocytes hypertrophy, cytoplasmic vacuolation, blood congestion and cellular necrosis. Degenerative changes of the renal epithelium, necrosis in renal tubules and occlusion of the tubular lumen where the pathological alterations in the kidney.

المستخلص: من خلال البحوث والدراسات التي اجريت على اسباب وهن حركة النطف لدى الرجال الا انه هناك عدد من المسببات لم تحدد والى الوقت الحاضر. الا انه بالرغم من ذلك بعض الدراسات تشيربان العامل الوراثي يلعب دور في ذلك والمتمثل بعضيات المايتوكوندريا والحاوية على الدنا الم | Through researches and studies done on the causes of the asthenozoospermia in men, although there was no specific reason so far responsible for the infertility in people, but some of the studies were indicated that the genetic factors plays a role in the sperm dysmotility through the mitochondria that contained mitochondrial DNA responsible for providing the energy required for the sperm motility by production of ATP, which serve as the fuel that is consumed by sperm during motility. This study is conducted to determine the changes that could occur in the sperm mtDNA which included (common deletion, mtDNA copy number per cell and mutations in the ATPase8 and ATPase6 genes).This study was consisted of two parts as follow : The first part was consisted of two steps : The first step conducted on 71 samples from subjects suffering from the weakness of the movement of sperm and 12 samples from subjects who have a normal movement of sperm, total samples were 83 samples were divided patient samples into 5 groups depending on the percentage of the sperm motility under the classification adopted by the World Health Organization as well as a control group, that it has become 6 groups, these samples were subjected for investigation about the mitochondrial DNA deletions and mitochondrial DNA copy number by using real time PCR.On the other hand was taking 66 sample dispersed sample 56 patients and 10 healthy samples were subjected to the tests of ATPase6 and ATPase8 genes sequences for detection about mtDNA mutation.The second step was included the use of discontinuous gradient centrifugation (percoll) , which are 40 % and 80 % which represent both progressive and non progressive motile sperms, bringing the total samples 166 samples that collected and fractionated in a hospital, Kamal Al - Samarrai to treat infertility and IVF in Baghdad and examined for further molecular investigations for the period from February 2012 to October 2013.The second part was included the molecular tests that carried out after DNA extraction from the cells and this part include three steps : The first step was to investigate the common deletion in mtDNA where the results showed that the total number of deleted samples in the group (0 - 5) in the nonprogressive sperm was 81.25 %, which ranged between 6.8 - 74.7% while the ratio between the other groups 6 - 10, 11 - 15 , 16 - 20, 21 - 25 where were 75, 35.72, 28.5 , 36.3, and 12% for control group respectively. The second step was to investigate the sperm mtDNA copy number. The same groups where the results showed that the content of DNA in subjects with impaired movement of sperm was high compared with the control group where scored in some samples the highest level of gene expression 246.9 copies per cell in the group (0 - 5%) either other groups have shown lower levels were observed in groups (6 - 10) , (11 - 15) , (16 - 20) and (21 - 25) were 203.1, 180.7, 133.5 and 128.3 copies per cell, either the highest level of DNA content of the control group was 94.7 copies per cell, there was also a significant difference (P>0.05) between the normospermic motile isolated from 80% class and poor sperm movement isolated from 40 % class. The third step was included the detection of mutations by analyzing the sequences of the MT - ATAase8 and MT - ATPase6 genes which documented 59 mutations that were 23 missense and 36 silent mutations where all of them were heteroplasmic mutation except for a single mutation of the type missense (A8860G) which was homoplasmic mutation was noticed in all mtDNA copies of patients and control subjects also in progressive and non progressive sperm cells. Thought this current study novel nucleotides changes in MT - ATAase8 and MT - ATPase6 genes among groups where 3 novel missense mutations in MT - ATAase8 gene at positions (8378, 8483 and 8558), the changes of nucleotides bases were A>G, A>C, A>C and A>C respectively, replacing Asparagine to Aspartic acid, Leucine to Proline and Proline to Alanine respectively. Also two novel missense mutations were observed in MT - ATPase6 gene at positions nt (8822 and 9055) where the changes nucleotides were (C >T and G>A) that replaced amino acids (Serine to Phenylalanine and Alanine to Threonine) respectively. Silent novel heteroplasmic change as a transition substitutions in ATPase8 gene at position nt (8371) by replacing C>T without any changing in amino acid of protein. Results of this present study showed novel heteroplasmic silent mutations in ATPase6 gene at positions nt (8899, 9048 and 9060) nucleotides changes (C>T, T>C and C>A) respectively, without changing in amino acid of protein which were observed in infertile group

المستخلص: This study includes 82 clinical samples from male patients suspected to have gonorrhea (urethral discharge with dysuria). Two types of samples were collected from each patient, urethra swab and blood samples from patients who attended Al - Yarmouk teaching hospital in Baghdad city, Clinics and private laboratories during a period from December 2012 to April 2013. All of them were married and have children's, and 20 samples were taken from apparently healthy subjects.Cases caused by gonococci were diagnosed by finding the Neisseria gonorrhoeae bacteria in the samples using microscopic examination and culturing on rich media chocolate agare for growth bacteria and selective media modified Thayer martin agar (MTM) contact antibiotic to prevent growth of all the types of bacteria except N. gonorrhoeae.Microscopic examination using specific kit for gram stain, showed gram negative diplococcus, like bean shape. Culturing on rich media revealed that 82 (100%) samples positive but re culturing on Modified Thayer martin media revealed that 76 (92.68%) out of 82 positive. Then biochemical test had the same results.Results of the molecular diagnosis of the bacteria causing gonorrhea using specific primers that were specific for the Orf1 gene, revealed that 80.26% of samples (61 out of 76) were positive. Results of the microdeletion in Y chromosome AZFc region revealed that no microdeletion were occurred in SY - 254 STS and BPY - 2 gene.This study, provided high specificity and sensitivity for the diagnosis of gonorrhea using PCR technique which is cheaper and faster than traditional methods. Also, PCR - based method for detection of N.gonorrhoeae can be readily used in hospitals and laboratories.

المستخلص: This study has been conducted for the first time in Najaf / Iraq, and the study included the preparation of a local inactivated vaccine (whole and subunit).The number of cases infected with seasonal influenza virus were 647 cases out of one thousand suspected case. They were distributed into eleven groups. Seasonal influenza virus was detected by two diagnostic methods (rapid test device and real time PCR).The present study has reflected that the most diagnosed cases infected with seasonal influenza virus during the period extended from March 26, 2012 up to April 30, 2013 represented by were type A (H3N2) (283) cases. Whereas H1N1 (148) cases, H3N2+H1N1, (56) cases, H1N1 + H3N2 + B were (30) cases and 130 cases were infected with type B.Current study also revealed that age group of 46 - 60 years old infected with seasonal influenza virus were (159) case including (368) male and females were (279) of different infected group..The spread of seasonal influenza virus in Najaf varies from one region to another depending on the population density. Clinical cases were collected randomly during the months of the year. It has been found that the spread of disease has something to do with temperature and humidity as high humidity and low temperature lead to increased spread of the disease because of their relationship at the stage of the spread of epidemic influenza that spread from Dec 26, 2012 and up to April 1, 2013 in addition to expatriates infected..Two techniques were used for isolation of seasonal influenza virus first inoculation of embryonated chicken egg and secondly chicken fibroblast cell culture.It was found that at the embryonated egg lethal dosage (ELD 50 / 0.5 ml) (109.6) whereas tissue culture infective dosage (TCID50 / 0.1 ml) was (109.3) of (H1N1+ H3N2) and type (B) virus..Virus was purified by two ways that are depending on the vaccine type. The gamma irradiation that dosage used for inactivating vaccine of the purified virus which was extracted from allantoic fluid and tissue culture was (5.702) mSv/h for subunit virus vaccine type whereas gamma irradiation dosage for complete (whole) virus vaccine was (8.816) mSv/h. The results proved that immunoglobulins (IgM, IgA and IgG) levels as well as (IL - 17, IL - 10 and INF - 1?) indicated significant differences among vaccinated, infected and control groups.Subunit and whole virus vaccine extracted from chicken fibroblast cell culture are considered the best of derived from virus propagated in embryonated chicken eggs.Subunit virus vaccine is better than the whole virus vaccine derived from virus propagated in embryonated chicken eggs and extracted from chicken fibroblast cell culture.The current study also reflected that locally prepared virus subunit vaccine and purified whole virus killed vaccine capable of inducing humoral and cellular immune response in experimentally vaccinated rats..Histopathological changes appeared clearly on tissue sections (lung, trachea, heart, liver, spleen, kidney) of the infected group as compared with control and the vaccinated groups.

Aim of the studyThe aim of the studyis to examin the possibility of using C - reactive protein in the early diagnosis of neonatal sepsis, as well as its use in determining thestop point of the antibiotic treatment.Patent, Materials and methods This study was conducted at the Hospital of Ibn - Albaladi for children and women in Rusafathe Healthoffice / Baghdad.Iraq from February 2013 to February 2014.The number of patients with bacterial infection was 102 (62%) of the total number of patients (165) who were admitted to the neonatal care unit aged less than 28 days and their weights was more than 1500 g,. The number of males was 92 (56%) and the number of females was 73 (44%), the number of patient withearly onset sepsis EOS (less than three days) was 43 (42%) and with late onset sepsis LOS for (more than three days) was 59 (58%), 43 (57%) ofEOSwas normal deliveries infected and cesarean deliveries infected 33 (43%), while51 (57%) of LOS was normal deliveries infected and cesarean deliveries in LOS was 38 (43%). Blood samples were collected and divided into three portion : bloodculture, CRP andhematological profile.1 - Blood culture.Blood was collection from neonatal sepsis patientinto special blood culture bottle and incubate in bact /Alert 3 D device when growth of bacteria then subcultured on blood agar, MaCconkey agar, and incubatedusingvitek /2 to diagnose bacterial infection anddeterminetheir susceptibility to antibiotic treatment.ResultThe Compact results indicated that 63 (38%)of patient were negative and 102 (62%) were positive out of them 23 patients (22.6%)were infected with gram negative bacteria including {Klebsiella pneumonia 30%, Acinetobacterlowffi 17%, Enterobacter cloaca 13%, } while 79 (77.4%) were infected with gram positive bacteria including { staph Homins and staph hemolyticus each 28% then staph epidermidis 13% and staph aureus 10%, while strep spp was 6% }. 2 - c - reactive protein.It was done by twomethod for the same samples in order to characterize the accuracy of the diagnosis. The first method was agglutination test (method 1) the cut off value for positive result ? 6 µg % 79 (48%)were negative, while 86 (52%) werepositive, while the second method was immune test (method 2) µµµusing Nycocard device werethe cut off value for positive result ? 5 µg % the results 102 (62%) were positive while 63 (38% negative.3 - hematological profile.The hematological profile of our patient included PCV, WBC, neutrophil, lymphocyte, monocyte, count were measured using Emerald automated Hematology device. The results of these tests werenot compatible with the results of the blood culture, but normal result were compatible with negative blood cultures. The results adopted of blood culture confirm the presence of bacterial infection and then compared with theresults CRP test and blood profilefor the same samples.Negative result of blood culture and CRP test were 54 (33%) while positive results of blood culture and CRP test were recorded and improved after taking treatment for (, 3, 5, 7,) days for (40, 31, 5)patients respectively.ConclusionWeconcluded C - reactive protein test was useful in the diagnosis of bacterial blood infections and determine the stop - point otreatment. Gram negative bacterial isolates were sensitive impinim, livofloxacin and Amikacin while they were resistant to Ampicillin, Ampicillin /Sollbectam and Gentamycin. on the other hand gram positive bacteria were sensitive to Amikacin, Ampicillin/sulbactam Ciprphloxacin, and Tigecyclin and were resistant to Erythromicin, and Oxacillinand Benzylpencillin.

المستخلص: عزلت عشر عزلات من بكتريا Ensifer meliloti من العقد الجذرية لنبات الجت Medicago sativa L. بعد ان جمعت من مناطق مختلفة من محافظة بابل خلال المدة من شهر تشرين الثاني/2012 لغاية شهر شباط/2013. شخصت العزلات جزيئيا بتقنية تفاعل البلمرة السلسلي فضلا عن طرق ال | Ten isolates of Ensifer meliloti were isolated from root nodules of Medicago sativa L. collected from different areas of Babylon province during a period from November - 2012 to February - 2013. The isolates were molecular identified using polymerase chain reaction technique, in addition to traditional methods (morphological and biochemical). All isolates were harboured nodbox and mucR genes and produced cyclic ? - (1, 2) glucans, cellulose fibers and lipopolysaccharide.The ability of isolates to grow at different degrees of pH, temperatures and different concentrations of sodium chloride were tested. It was found that the optimum pH for growing of Em1, Em3, Em4, Em6 and Em8 isolates was pH7, while for the isolates Em2, Em5, Em7, Em9 and Em10 was pH8. The optimum temperature for growing of Em1, Em3, Em5, Em7, Em8 and Em9 isolates was 30?C, while the optimal growth of Em2, Em 4 and Em6 isolates was 35?C, Em10 isolate showed significantly extremism to grow at temperture reached to 45?C. The optimal percentages of NaCl for growing of Em1, Em3, Em4, Em5, Em6, Em8 and Em9 isolates were 2%, for Em7 isolate was 3% and for Em2 and Em10 isolates were 4%. The effect of different degrees of pH on symbiotic properties was studied. Em1 and Em8 isolates that grew at pH6.5 ; all isolates that grew at pH 7, pH 7.5 and pH 8 were able to infect the root hairs of alfalfa plants. The isolates that grew at pH6.5 (except Em1 and Em8 isolates) and all isolates that grew at pH8.5 were failed to infect the root hairs and did not formed nodules and resembled to the control plants (without inoculum).Different concentrations of NaCl on symbiosis was studied, it was found that all isolates that grew at 2% and Em2 and Em10 isolates that grew at 3% formed nodule, while Em1, Em3, Em4, Em5, Em6, Em7, Em8 and Em9 isolates that grew at 3% and all isolates that grew at 4%, 5% and 6% did not elicited nodules on the roots of alfalfa plant. Light microscopic observations of root hairs inoculated with Ensifer meliloti isolates showed the root hair deformations like curling, waviness, swelling and formation of shepherd`s crook and infection thread. These consequent changes lead to emerge the mature nodules having five distinct zones viz., distal meristematic, infection, inter, nitrogen - fixing and proximal senescence zones.The gel electrophoresis results of plasmid DNA of isolates showed that these isolates harboured two megaplasmids. When the isolates exposed to extreme factors like pH, temperture and NaCl, it was found that the isolates lost these plasmids and its ability to elicite the nodules and failed to fix the nitrogen. This study showed that the nitrogen fixing bacteria had essential role to support the plant growth and increase their productivity, and recommended to use the isolate Em10 as example for biofertilizers and the best alternative to the chemical fertilizers

المستخلص: تم اختبار قابلية عشرة عزلات للعفن Aspergillus fumigatus على انتاج الغليوتوكسين بوساطة تخمرات الحالة الصلبة وباستخدام الرز كوسط زرعي (ركيزة). اشارت نتائج الغربلة ان العزلة AF - 5 كانت هي الافضل واعطت اعلى انتاجية.كانت الظروف المثلى لانتاج السم على وسط الر | The ability of Ten Aspergillus fumigatus isolates for gliotoxin production were screened by solid state fermentation (SSF) using rice medium as substrate. The results indicated that, the AF - 5 isolate was the highest gliotoxin producer.The optimum conditions for gliotoxin production by AF - 5 isolate on rice medium were : - inoculum size 6×106 spores, moisturizing ratio (5 : 1) (w : v) with distilled water and incubation at 37 ?C for 10 days. Gliotoxin was purified from crude extract of AF - 5 isolate after production under the optimum conditions using solid state fermentation SSF. Purification of gliotoxin was achieved by two steps including : filtration and solid phase extraction. These processes were accessed to remove debris from crude extract and gives pure gliotoxin. The gliotoxin concentration was (122.6 ppm), which was detected by Thin layer Chromatography and High Performance Liquid Chromatography.The result of cytotoxicity effect of both purified extract and standard gliotoxin on human lymphocytes with exposure time of 24 hours at four different concentrations 25, 50, 100 and 200 ppb showed growth inhibition percentage 21, 39.10, 61.99, 87.45% and 17.89, 34.92, 58.34, and 85.22% respectively. The cytotoxicity effects have been done using conversion of the MTT to MTT formazan. After DNA was extracted from lymphocyte treated with toxin and analyzed by electrophoresis on a 1% agarose gel, gliotoxin appeared to have ability to damage the DNA. Results showed that both growth inhibition and DNA damage were increased gradually with the increasing of gliotoxin concentration.

The current study was designed to examine fresh milk samples were collected randomelly at early morning from six different locations at a rate of once each month during study period which commenced in October 2013 and ended in march 2014 and powder milk brands which were examined again for six months as in case of fresh milk where these milk brands were collected from local markets each month. The results of heavy metals showed that : • The investigation of Lead content in raw milk revealed that the highest mean value (1.801±0.311 ppm) was scored in Abo - Ghraib sample and the lowest mean value (0.941±0.104 ppm) was observed in Ghazaliya sample. For the Cadmium content in raw milk that the highest mean value (1.532±0.124 ppm) was found in Abo - Ghraib sample and the lowest mean value (0.063±0.044 ppm) was found in Fal'loga. The Copper content in raw milk also investigated and resulted the highest mean value was (0.931±0.092 ppm) in Azizia milk sample and almost similar value (0.931±0.301 ppm) was found in Madain sample while the lowest mean value was (0.308±0.029 ppm) in Fal'loiga sample. The highest mean value of Potassium in raw milk was recorded in two samples in Azizia (9718.8±246.6 ppm) and (9718.3±482.2 ppm) in Abo - Ghraib but the lowest mean value (4156.3±268.3 ppm) was recorded in Essaouira. Regarding Sodium content in raw milk, the results have found that the highest mean value was (2968.8±312.2 ppm) in Essaouira sample while the lowest mean value was (1432.5±156.8 ppm) in Abo - Ghraib. The Chloride content in raw milk samples, the highest mean value was (3053.0±128.6 ppm) recorded in Fal'loga sample and the lowest mean value was (639.0±198.4 ppm) was found in Azizia sample. Analysis of variance of these data showed significant effects (P?0.001) of both sampling sites and collecting months on milk (pb, Cd, K, Na and Cl) contents while analysis of variance of these data reveals no significant impact of sites on milk Cu content (P> 0.05) where no differences were observed between mean value of different collecting sites but shows highly significant (P? 0.001) effects of collecting months.• While powder milk has shown that the highest mean values of Lead (1.225±0.052 ppm) were found in Al - Mudhish brand and the lowest mean value (0.088±0.002 ppm) was detected in Anchor. The highest mean Cd value was (0.184±0.005 ppm) in Nido brand and the lowest mean value was (0.069±0.003 ppm) in Altunsa sample. While the highest mean value of Copper was (1.656±0.254 ppm) in Dielac powder brand and Anchor milk brand had the lowest copper mean value which was (0.767±0.014 ppm). The concentration of Potassium was (9625.0±462.9 ppm) which is the highest recorded in Dielac milk sample and the lowest mean value (3356.8±225.6 ppm) was found in Al - Marai milk sample. While the highest average of Sodium was (2625.0±342.6 ppm) scord in Dielac brand and the lowest average was (1745.0±338.4 ppm) recorded in Al - Marai sample. The highest mean value of Chloride (193.0±41.0 ppm) was recorded in Nido milk brand and the lowest mean value (122.7±22.2 ppm) was found in Altunsa milk sample. However, analysis of variance shows significant differences (P?0.001) between examined milk brands while no such differences were found between these brands (P>0.05) regarding collecting months.From the above results, it seems that the highest content of (Pb, Cd and Cu) are higher than those of standards of the International Dairy Federation (IDF) while contents of (K, Na and Cl) are within the standard requirement according to National Research Council (NRC).Microbial tests of raw milk samples were positive for bacterial growth, as different bacterial species were observed such as Lactobacilli spp. 63.8%, Streptococcus spp. 61.1%, Staphylococcus aureus 44.4%, Escheritia coli 88.8%, Bacillus spp. 72.2%, Salmonella typhi 72.2%, Staphylococcus epidermidis 30.5%, Pseudomonas spp. 47.2%, Micrococcus spp 27.7%, Clostiridia spp. 66.6%, Enterococci spp. 11.1% and K. pneumonia 75% from bacterial contamination of raw milk samples.However, only (11.1%) of the total collected samples of raw milk were suitable for human consumption and (88.9%) unsuitable, indicating that the source of infection or contamination of milk may be due to the animal health, human handler and the environmental factors, e.g., contaminated vessels, polluted water, flies and dust, etc… Obviously, bacterial contamination test of powder milk samples was carried out and negative results were obtained. However, it seems clearly that the opportunity of finding bacterial contamination in powder milk samples may be very rare since milk powder is produced in well designed and modern techniques. Nevertheless, a single bacterial contamination test has indicated to a positive growth of Staphylococcus aureus colonies.

المستخلص: من مجموع مئة عينة سريرية جمعت من مصادر مختلفة شملت الحروق والدم والجروح ومسحات انفية, تمكنت 90 عزلة من النمو على اكار المانيتول الملحي , ومن بينهم 40(44.4 %) عزلة عائدة لبكتريا المكورات العنقودية المنتجة للانزيم المخثر للبلازما و50 (55.5%) عائدة لبكتريا ا | Out of one hundred clinical samples were taken from different sources which include burns, blood cultures, wounds and nasal swabs infections ; 90 isolates developed growth on mannitol salt agar. Among these, 40 (44.4%) were Coagulase positive (Staphylococcus aureus) isolates, 50 (55.5%) belong to coagulase negative staphylococci in which Staphylococcus epidermidis isolates were 30(60%). The pattern of antibiotic susceptibility of Staphylococcus epidermidis isolates to 12 antibotics (Amoxiclav, Ceftazidim, ciprofloxacin, clindamycin, Erythromycin, Gentamycin, Imipenime, Penicillin G, Tetracycline, Rifampin , Methicillin, and Vancomycin) were determined using disc diffusion method. The results revealed that resistance to Penicillin G10 and Amoxiclav (Amoxicillin - clavulanic acid) were 100%, Methicillin were 93%, Erythromycin were 90%, Gentamycin and Clindamycin were 70%, Tetracycline and ceftazidim were 75%, Ciproflaxacin were 60%, Rifampin were30%. 95% of S.epidermidis isolates were sensitive to Imipenim and 5% of them were intermediate resistant, while these isolates showed 90% sensitivity to vancomycin. 19 isolates were multidrug resistance. Minimum inhibitory concentration of S.epidermidis isolates to vancomycin, was determined. The results revealed that (12) S.epidermidis isolates (40 %) were vancomycin resistant, the MIC of them were between 256 ?g\ml and 32 ?g\ml, (4) S.epidermidis isolates (13.3%) were intermediate resistance, the MIC to 3 of them were 16 ?g\ml and the last was 8 ?g\ml. Some virulence factors of VRSE and VSSE were detected including the hemolysin, protease, lipase and urease. The S. epidermidis isolates were produce hemolysin, protases, lipase and urease, were 100%, 100%, 25%, 100% respectively in VRSE, while in VSSE 100%, 100%, 60%, 100% respectively. The isolates were subjected to polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique in monoplex pattern to amplify resistant incoding gene : the vanA, vanB and autolysine gene aae gene. The results by this study showed that 12 (40%) S. epidermidis isolates gave the implicone size (1030 base pair) of the vanA gene. However the results of MIC and PCR were similar but no any isolates gave product for presence of vanB gene. All S.epidermidis were able to produce implicone size(858bp) of aae gene. The effect of vancomycin resistant S. epidermidis on cell autolysis activity was detected by whole cell autolytic assay.The results revealed that there was significant difference among three isolates, the VSSE isolate (S.epidermidis 22) have the highest autolytic activity in the presence of antibiotic, followed by the VRSE isolate (S. epidermidis 1) and the VISE isolate (S. epidermidis14) which was the lowest autolytic activity with the presence of antibiotic. The result of transmission electron microscope (TEM) showed that the VRSE isolates (S.epidermidis 1) have thicker cell wall followed by VISE (S.epidermidis 14) isolates.However, the VSSE (S.epidermidis 22) didn't showed any cell wall thickening.

المستخلص: The current study had been carried out from January 2013 to July 2013 in medical laboratory researches - Kirkuk Faculty of Medicine. A total of 310 stool samples have been collected from children suffering from liquid diarrhea, their ages are from below one year to 12 years; six different laboratory diagnostic methods have been applied for detecting Giardia lamblia and other intestinal parasites. For microscopy diagnosis; direct wet double prepartions, zinc sulphate flotation are used. While immunological methods involve; Enzyme Linked Immuno - Sorbent Assay, corpo - antigen (ELISA), Direct Fluorescent Assay (DFA) and Lateral immune - chromatography assay (Triage panel). Giardia genome amplification is done using conventional Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) single step procedure by using of mixed primers of Giardia assemblages A1, A2 and B. The total rate of intestinal parasitic infection is 51.93 % distributed in 161 stool samples. This rate involve high frequency of protozoan infection in 132 (42.58 %) compare to 29 (9.35 %) for helminthes, P<0.05. More common intestinal protozoan parasites were Giardia lamblia 63(20.32 %) followed by Blastocyst hominis, Cryptosporidium parvum, Entamoeba coli, Entamoeba histolytica, Iodomoeba butschili, Endolimax nana and Balantidium coli with the rates : 6.77%, 6.45%, 4.18 %, 2.58 %, 1.29 %, 0.64 % and 0.32 % receptively. Concerning intestinal helminthic infection, high number and rate 23(7.41 %) was with Hymenolepis nana is compare with 1(0.32 %) record for Ancylostoma duodenale.According to gender high rate of giardiasis is recorded among males than in females, conversely to high rate of other intestinal parasites among female than in males P<0.05. Statistically relationship between Giardia distribution and ages are not significant P>0.05. Giardia co - existence are highly detected with Balstocystis hominis, and Cryptosporidium parvum total Giardia mixed parasitic infection rate 8.06 % is lower than12.23 %of pure Giardia lamblia infection, P>0.05. Regarding Giardia lamblia detecting according to laboratory methods; high rate of giardiasis 22.29% is reported by using PCR technique, followed by 20, 23 % by using direct wet preparation technique, P<0.05.The efficacy of laboratory methods for detecting Giardia stages are reduced; the following rates 19.35%, 19.03%, 17.74% and 14.51% obtained by using ELISA, DFA, flotationand lateral immuno - chromatography assay (Triage) respectively, P<0.05. Also statistical analysis reveals significance of PCR sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy in detecting giardiasis than other laboratory methods. Negative predictive values NPV in relation to type of laboratory methods are high, but statistically they are not significant, controversy to positive predictive value PPV that are significant. The efficacy of Triage panel is high for detecting giardiasis 14.45 % as compare with 4.5 % and 3.5 % for detecting Cryptosporidium parvum oocysts and Entamoeba histolytica respectively P<0.05 %. Considering the application of double direct wet preparations, the results of using this method are beneficial for detecting protozoan and helminthic parasites. While the using of zinc sulphate flotation technique reveal fluctuated results in spite of significant statistical analysis P<0.05. The employee of five laboratory methods for detecting the oocysts of Cryptosporidum parvum; the following rates 6.45%, 5.48%, 4.83%, 4.51% and 3.22% are recorded with the usage of DFA, direct microscopy, modified Ziehl - Neelsen method, Traige panel and flotation method respectively, P>0.05. Giardia lamblia DNA extraction from 80 stool samples that amplified using Giardia gene loci K725, reveal 66 samples positivity, pure Giardia lamblia genomic mass mean is 437.56 bps, with 1.705 % of genome purity and the extension of genomes range from 280 to750bps.While 23 of mixed Giardia plus other protozoan parasites, the mean of gemonic mass is 439.89 bps with genome purity mean 1.56 %. Amplification of Giardia genome mixed with helminthes reveal 443.33 bps of genomic mass mean and 1.49 % genome purity mean. In general the all genomic mass of Giardia lamblia (Pure and mixed infection) is 440.26 bps and purity mean 1.54 % P>0.05.PCR amplification in stool sample exert that Giardia lamblia genomes are mixed of human and animal type.

المستخلص: صممت هذه الدراسة للتعرف على مدى تاثير المستخلص الكحولي الخام لنبات الخباز Malva Sylvestris في الكبد والخصى لذكور الفئران البيض نسجيا, وكذلك فسلجيامن خلال دراسة مستوى انزيمي Glutamate - oxaloactate - transaminase (GOT) وGlutamate - pyruvate - transaminase( | This study was designed to investigate the effects of crude alcoholic extract of Malva sylvestris on the histology of liver and testes in male albino mice, as well as levels of the GOT, GPT enzymes and testosterone hormone. Seventy two adult male albino mice were used in this study. The animals were randomly divided into four main groups, the first group was given distilled water (control), while the other three groups were given (100, 300, 500 mg /kg) of crude extract. These main groups were subdivided into three subgroups, according to the period of treatment (2, 4, 6, 8)weeks. Blood samples were collected every two weeks for physiological study, and samples of the liver and testes were collected for histological study. Treating with crude alcoholic of Malva sylvestris led to no significant increase in the mean of the body weight except the concentration (500 mg /kg). There was significantly increase in the liver weight particularly in(500 mg /kg) for eight weeks of exposure, also there was significantly increase in the average of the testes weights treated with Malva sylvestris extract specially in (300, 500 mg /kg) for all periods of treatment compared with control group. Malva sylvestris extract coused significantly decrease in both GOT, GPT. there fore the value of GOT, GPT considers as concentration - period exposure dependent the highest value of GPT was (300 mg /kg) for two weeks (2. 25±228. 04) IU/L compared with control group (3. 03±226. 02) IU/L. and the lowest value of GPT was (500 mg /kg) for eight weeks (4. 52±192. 27)IU/L compared with control group (4. 06±208. 77) IU/L the highest value of GOT in (100 mg /kg) reached (4. 10±63. 00) IU/L for two weeks compared with control group (1. 25±71. 23) IU/L. the lowest value was (2. 77±49. 83) IU/L in (500 mg /kg) with eight weeks comparison with control group (1. 18±69. 02) IU/L. all concentration of Malva sylvestris extract made positive changes in the value of testosterone with all periods of exposure particularly in (300 mg /kg) compared with control group. There were many histopathological alterations appeared in the liver tissue among treated groups which caused by the effects of Malva sylvestris extract represented by congestion, disarrangement of hepatic cords, beginning of necrosis of hepatocytes, infiltration of leukocytes, narrowing of sinusoids, increase the number of binuclei cells, degeneration, appearance of giant cells, all these changes were reversible. Malva sylvestris extract made beneficial histopathological changes in the testes tissue in all treated groups like increase in numbers of ledyig cells specially concentration (500 mg /kg) reached (11.37± 0.80) IU/L with two weeks comparison with control group(5.38 ±0.34) IU/L, and increase in the thickness of the walls of seminiferous tubules specially concentration (500 mg /kg) reached(29.46± 1.39) IU/L with compared with control group(20.52±2.40) IU/L.

The study has been conducted on (105) patients with asthma whose ages from (20) to (69) years. (20) of them are males and (85) are females, and (110) are healthy with no infection of asthma or any sickness of respiratory system as a control group of the same ages, (60) of these are males and (50) are females. Blood samples have been collected from both groups in ampoules with EDTA and stored under temperature ( - 20) until they are used in getting the DNA from the groups. The genes GSTTI, GSTMI, and Albumin have been enlarged as internal control employing Polymerase chain Reaction (PCR). Some dangerous aspects of this disease have been investigated, the results showed that the disease in the urban areas (85. 71 %) higher than it rural areas, and Asthma among females is (80. 95%) higher than males. The results also indicated that asthma in ages (50 - 59) is more than other categories; it is (34.28%). The majority of patients are smokers with (63.80%). The study revealed that (73.33 %) of the patients have a family history with the disease while (26.66 %) have not. Statistical analysis showed that the loss of the gene GSTM1 is about three times in the patients more than the case in the control group. (OR=2.90) , while the loss of the gene GSTT1 is five fold more than it compared to the control group (OR= 5.55). The results indicated a significant effect of the loss of the two genes in having asthma in the urban and rural areas, it is six times and a half larger in the urban areas compared to the control group of the same area. Asthma probability is ten times more in the case of the loss of both genes in the rural areas compared to the control group in the same area. And no significant difference has been discovered when gene patterns of patients in both areas. The results also indicated that the probability of having asthma in male patients is two times and a half as many as it in the females when the gene GSTM1 is lost compared to the control group. While the same probability is eleven times in the case of the loss of both genes in the females as many as it the control group. The loss of Missing the gene GSTT1 is three times in the male patients and five times in the females compared to the two control groups. The results indicated significant differences when gene patterns of males and females are compared in the case of the loss of both genes. The statistical analysis indicated that the loss of both genes in the smoker patients contributes 17 fold in the probability of having the disease compared to the control group. While the probability increases four times approximately in the nonsmokers when the gene GSTM1 is lost compared to the control group (OR=3.77; 95% C1=1.69 - 8.407). No difference has been noticed in the gene patterns of the smoker and nonsmoker patients. The results indicated that the loss of both genes has been in all the age categories. No significant differences have been noticed among the gene patterns between the patients of less and those who are more than 50 years. Asthma probability has been found 7.77 times more in the case of the loss of both genes in the patients who have a family disease history compared with the control group. The asthma probability is twice when the gene GSTM1 is lost in those patients who do not have a family history disease compared to the control group. Upon comparing the gene patterns of patients according to the family disease history, there has been an effect of the loss of both genes and having a family disease history on the probability of asthma, it is almost six times when both genes are lost. The results indicated that the probability increases three times in the loss of the gene GSTT1 in the educated patients compared to control group. The probability also increases seven times when both genes are lost in the uneducated patients compared to the control group. When comparing the gene patterns of patients according to levels of education, significant differences between the educated an uneducated have been approximately twice in the loss of the gene GSTT1.

A total of 360 suspected cases were collected from Center Health laboratory/Al - Hakeem Hospital, and AL - Sadder medical city in AL - Najaf city, during the period from January (2013) to August (2013). Only 76 were seropositive hepatitis B (55 males and 21 females with age ranging 11 - 72 years).In addition, 15 healthy individuals without any evidence of chronic inflammatory disease were depended on the control group, age ranging 21 - 50 years.Blood samples were collected from patients and healthy controls were tested for HBsAg and Anti - HBc Ab using Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) technique to investigate hepatitis B seropositive and chronic hepatitis B respectively. For investigated AIH disease was performed depending on the Line Immune Assay technique. While for detection CMV were initially identified by serological technique (ELISA, MiniVIDAS) to detect anti - CMV IgM and anti - CMV IgG; then confirmed employment molecular technique using Real Time Polymerase Chain Reaction for the detection the presence of DNA of CMV. Samples were collected from patients and control to estimation immunological level (C3, C4, IL - 10 & TFN - ?) by using ELISA and radial immunodiffusion method.The results showed that 76 HBsAg seropositive in all age groups but the age group 44 - 54 year revealed high significance (p<0.05) than other age groups. While 35 out of 76 seropositive with HBc Ab, the age group 55 - 65 years showed high significance (p<0.05) than other age groups, and males more infection than females. The result also revealed that the AIH disease was 5 out of 76 patients infected with Type 1 AIH. Included 2(40%) have demonstrated the infection HBsAg positive with reactivation CMV While 3(60%) infected with HBsAg only.The results showed that 68 out of the 76 samples were positive for anti - CMV IgG antibodies, and 4(5.26%) samples were positive for anti - CMV IgM. While the MiniVIDAS test results showed 73 out of the 76 samples was positive for anti - CMV IgG antibodies. 2(2.6%) were positive for anti - CMV IgM antibodies. The results of the Real - Time PCR revealed that DNA of CMV were detected in 23 out of 76 patients were found in all age groups with viral loads ranging from (0.24 - 1730000) Copies/ml, and the results of controls group in Real - Time PCR were CMV negative. The results of cytokines (TNF - ?) showed a high significance (P<0.05) elevation in the serum of all patients than control (419.3 ± 27.8) pg/ml, and the results that AIH showed increase in cytokine level was (1218.2±44) pg/ml than other patients. Whereas chronic hepatitis B patients recorded high significance (P<0.05) in level (IL - 10) was (901.5±22.2) pg/ml than other patients and control (373 ±30.3) pg/ml. According to sex no - significance difference between males and females in results of cytokines profile (IL - 10, TNF?). Complement fraction C3 decreased in all patients compared to those healthy control, while the AIH patient recorded high significance (P<0.05) 142.2±8 mg/dI than the other patients. In regard to C4 was revealed normal level in all patients compared with control groups while in the AIH revealed high significance (P<0.05) was 41.7±5.1 mg/dI compared with other patients and no - significance difference (P<0.0) between males and females in level of C3and C4.The overall finding results showed that the activation cytomegalovirus with hepatitis B virus Contribute to the induction of AIH and cause immune suppressor for them by increase and decrease many immune factors.

These fungi were related to 23 species or isolates, where Aspergillus spp. prevailed over all others (11 species) with CF of 14% for all Aspergilli, Aspergillusniger and Aspergillusflavus showed the highest CF 7.2% and 3% respectively, other Aspergilli represented Aspergillusparvulus (CF 1.6%), Aspergilluscandidus (0.4%), Aspergillusraperi, Aspergillusclavatus, Aspergillusglaucus, Aspergillusornatus, Aspergillussclerotioniger, Aspergillusterreus and Aspergilluswentii were all showed CF of 0.2%.Other isolates fungi from leaves fragments were four morphologically different isolates of Penicillium with 0.4% CF for each. Additionaly, isolates of Cladosporium sp. (2%) and Cladosporiumcladosporoides (0.4%), as well as Cunninghamella sp., Drechsleraaustraliensis, Alternariaraphani, which showed 0.2% CF for each, Paecilomyces variotii (0.6|%), and different isolates of sterile fungi (White and Hyaline colonies) were also obtained. - Study the antagonistic activity of isolated endophytes using dual culture method against five plant pathogenic fungi(Fusarium oxysporum, Fusarium graminearum, Fusarium sp., Macrophomina phaseolinaandRhizoctonia solani)taking into account the percentage of inhibition of pathogenic fungi, results revealed variation of antagonistic activities between endophytes and pathogens. Different cases of antagonism were also appeared ranged from mycoparasitism of the endophytes on pathogens or vice versa, to competition between the two fungi and to the appearance of inhibition zone between them, this result may indicates the affinity of using some isolated endophytes in biological control applications against or controling fungal plant diseases. - Effect of ethylacetate extracts of culture broth of active endophytes shown in the last experiment against two bactria E.coli, S.aureus and the yeast Candida albicans using disc diffusion method, where filter paper discs were imprignated with different concentrations of fungal broth extracts. Results showed variation of inhibitory activity against bacteria with different endophytes, bacteria and conc. of the extract. Regarding the effect onC.albicans and filamentous fungi, most fungal broth extracts showed no inhibitory activity against yeast and no extract as well showed inhibitory activity on filamentous fungi. These results give indication thatbroth extracts contain antibacterial compounds. - Addition of 20% crude fungal broth of some endophytes to the culture medium showed significant inhibitory activity against filamentous fungi which did not respond to broth extracts, percentage of inhibition ranged between 0 - 77.08% and maximum inhibitory activity was shown by Penicillium sp. Isolate. These results give indication that some of crude filtrates contain antifungal compounds. - Analysis of broth extracts of some endophytes using TLC technique showed the content of extract of number of UV illuminated spots isolated on TLC pates having different Rf values, Bioautography showed inhibitory activity of some of these isolated spots against E.coli, S.aureus and the Filamentous fungus F.oxysporum. - Testing the extracellular enzymes activities of isolated endophyles on solid media, enzymes included amylase, lipase, pectinase, laccase, cellulase and protease showed variation in secretion of these enzymes, as well as, no endophytes showed the affinity of secreting all tested enzymes. Results also showed the high affinity of some endpohytes to secrete enzymes that could be use in multiple important applications after separation andcharacterizationof these enzymes.

المستخلص: To evaluate the anti - hyperglycaemic potent of thymoquinone from Nigella sativa seed in streptozotocin - induced diabetic male rats, the present study has been carried out at the College of Education, Al - Qadisiya University during the period extended from April, 15, 2012 to December, 15, 2012. mRNA expression level of Reg3a, InsI, InsII, PDX1, Pax6, NeuroD1, and MafA genes have been evaluated in pancreatic tissues as well. Sixty five adult male rats (aged 56 days and weighted 138±8.8g) have been used in the present study. Diabetes has been inducted in 52 male rats by injection of single dose of streptozotocin (60 mg/ kg, b.w., i.p.). Diabetes mellitus has been confirmed by blood glucose concentration (to be more than 200 mg/ dl). Intact and streptozotocin - induced diabetic male rats have been assigned to five equal groups (13 per each); Intact (C) and non treated diabetic (DM) rats have been injected with normal saline (100?l, sc) anddrenched with drinking water daily for 42 days. Thymoquinone treated diabetic rats (TQ50 and TQ100) have been injected with normal saline (100?l, sc) and drenched with thymoquinone suspention (50 and 100 mg/ kg, b.w., respectively) daily for 42 days. Insulin treated diabetic rats were injected with insulin (4 IU, sc) and drenched with drinking water daily for 42 days. Body weights were registered daily during the experiment. All overnight fasted animals were sacrificed after general anesthesia by combination of xylazine and ketamine (10 mg and 90 mg/kg, ip, respectively). Blood samples was collected from abdominal vein for determination of serum glucose and insulin concentrations. Samples from pancreatic tissues in all groups have been quickly removed, dipped in liquid nitrogen for RNA extraction and molecular study. Other pancreatic tissues were fixed in formalin forhistopathological and immunohistochemical study. The results demonstrated significant decrease in body weight gain of untreated diabetic (DM) and insulin treated diabetic (DMI) groups as compared with that of intact control (C) and thymoquinone treated diabetic (TQ50 and TQ100) groups, started from the fourth day of experiment, which showed insignificant differences when compared with each other. While the lowest body weight gain has been registered in DM group.Results of serum glucose concentrations referred to significant elevation in diabetic groups compared with intact control. In comparison between the diabetic groups, glucose concentration revealed significant decrease in thymoquinone and insulin treated rats (TQ50, TQ100, and DMI) compared with untreated diabetic rats (DMI). on the other hand, insulin treated males (DMI) and thymoquinone treated males (TQ50 and TQ100) recorded no significant difference in serum insulin concentration when compared witheach other but they were significantly lower than that of intact control male rats (C), but the average means of these four groups were significantly higher than that of non - treated diabetic male rats (DM).Quantification analysis results of gene expression, performed by real - time RT - PCR, revealed that treatment with thymoquinone caused significant increase of mRNA expression levels of Reg3a, InsI, InsII, PDX1, Pax6, NeuroD1 and MafA genes during the studied period. Histological findings of thymoquinone treated pancreases revealed normal cellularity of islets of Langerhans and normal exocrine tissue except few congestion in it, whereas those obtained from non treated diabetic rats showed complet impairment of some islands and highly destructed of others. Normal hepatic architecture with the appearance of radiating shape around the central vein, has been shown in the section obtained from thymoquinone treated diabetic rats except few congestion, obvious regeneration and mitotic division in the nuclei of hepatocytes. Sections obtained from non treated diabetic male rats showed sever congestion, large thrombi in the hepatic tissue, and loss of hepatic architecture with sever hemorrhage, degeneration in hepatocytes, and dilation of sinusoids. Section obtained from kidneys of thymoquinone treated diabetic rats reveales normal renal convoluted tubules with normal epithelium of the tubules and high cellularity of glomeruli. Whearas those obtained non treated diabetic rat revealed dilation of renal convoluted tubules with necrosis in the epithelium of the tubules and sever hemorrhage in the renal tissue. Immunohistochemical results revealed that male rats drenched with thymoquinone registered higher scores of positive cells and intensity of staining compared with other diabetic (DM and I) groups. Hisological sections obtained from pancreases of control male rats showed actively stained islets of Langerhan's by immunohistochemistry with actively stained populations of beta, alpha, and delta cells, whereas those obtained from pancreases of non treated diabetic male rats showed damage of most cell populations and negatively stained for the few remaining beta cells. on the other hand, section obtained from pancreases of diabetic male rats treated with thymoquinone showed actively stained islets of Langerhan's by immunohistochemistry with actively stained populations of beta, alpha, and delta cells. While those obtained from pancreases of diabetic male rats treated with insulin, in the same stages of experiment, showed negatively stained beta cells and other cells of islets of Langerhan's. Histopathological findingsrevealed moderate improvement of pancreatic changes shown in both exocrine and endocrine (Islands of Langerhan's) parts. It can be concluded that drenching of 50 or 100 mg/ kg, bw, of thymoquinone from Nigella sativa seed has potent hypoglycemic effect in experimentally - induced diabetic mature male rats.

المستخلص: The present study has been carried out at the department of biology, College of Education, Al - Qadisiya University, Iraq, to investigate the immunological localization of transforming growth factors beta (inhibins and activins) subunits during immature and mature periods and its involvement in male reproductive physiology of rats.At pre - pubertal stage, five male rats of 25, 30, 35, 40, and 45 days old, and at post - pubertal stage, five male rats of 55, 60, 65, 70, and 75 days old have been used in the present study. Experimental animals have been anesthetized and blood samples were obtained from abdominal vein for assesment of activin - A, inhibin - B, FSH, LH, testosterone, and estrogen, testis volumes were measured for each age period. Testes, epididymis, prostate and seminal vesicle, were obtained for molecular and immunohistochemical studyto investigate the expression levels of Inha, Inhba, and Inhbb genes using qRT - PCR and immunohistochemical technique.The present study demonstrated gradual increase of testis volume throughout the male rat life in parallel with the increase of serum inhibin - B and testosterone concentrations. Serum activin - A concentration increased significantly at 30 and 40 day periods. Throughout the post - pubertal stage, activin - A concentration gradually decreased. Serum inhibin - B concentrations gradually decreased at the pre - pubertal stage. Post - pubertal stage registered gradual increase. At 25, 30, and 35 day periods, serum FSH level registered no significant changes, whereas 40 day period recorded significant increase then decreased at 45 day period. Throughout the post - pubertal period, the level of FSH concentrations continued in gradual decrease. At 25, 30, 35, and 40 day periods, serum LH and testosterone levels showed no significant differences, whereas 45 day period recorded significant increase. Postpubertal period showed gradual significant increase. Serum estradiol concentration decreased gradually at the pre - pubertal stage and continued in decrement at the post - pubertal stage.The expression level of Inha gene in testis decreased as the age progress until 40 day period, and then slightly increased at 45 day period. At 55 day period, the expression significantly increased. At 60 and 65 periods, the levels recorded no increase, but 70 and 75 day periods recorded significant increase. The expression level of Inhba gene increased significantly as the age progress at the pre - pubertal stage, where the highest level was recorded at 45 day. At 55, 60, and 65 day periods, the highest expression level has been recorded, thenafter, the levels decreased at 70 and 75 day periods. The expression level of Inhbb gene increased significantly at 30, 35, 40, and 45 day periods of the pre - pubertal stage. At 55 and 60 day periods, no significant difference was recorded compared with 45 day period. At 65 day period, the highest level was recorded, thenafter, the levels decreased at 70 and 75 day periods. The expression level of Inha gene in epididymis recorded no significant difference at all periods of the pre - pubertal stage, but the post - pubertal stage showed gradual significant increase as age progressed. The expression level of Inhba gene recorded no difference at 25, 30, 35, and 40 day periods, but it was significantly higher at 45 day period. The levels at 55, 60, and 65 day periods recorded no significant difference when compared with each other or with 45 day period. Significant increase has been recorded at 70 and 75 day periods. The expression level of Inhbb gene increased significantly at 30 and 35 but it decreased at 40 day period, then it showed further increase at 45 day period. At 55, 60, 65, and 70 day periods, also increased but the highest expression level was recorded at 75 day period.The expression level of Inha, Inhba, Inhbb genes in prostate recorded no significant difference at all periods of the pre - pubertal stage, but the postpubertal stage showed significant increase at all periods.The expression level of Inha and Inhba genes in seminal vesicle recorded no significant difference at 25, 30, 35, and 40 day periods and significant increase at 45 day period. The 55, 60, and 65 day periods recorded no significant difference when compared with each other but significant increase has been recorded at 70 and 75 day periods. The expression level of Inhbb gene recorded no significant difference at 25, 30, and 35 day periods, but it increased as the age progressed, whereas the levels showed no significant difference at all periods of the post - pubertal stage, but they were significantly higher than that recorded at the pre - pubertal stage. The results of immunohistochemical study demonstrated positive immunostaining for inhibin - ? subunit in Sertoli cells and primary spermatocyte and no staining in Leydig cells of pre - pubertal rat testis, whereas post - pubertal testis showed positive immunostaining in Sertoli cells, Leydig cells and primary spermatocyte at 55 day period and positive immunostaining in Sertoli cells, Leydig cells, and spermatogonia at 60 day period. There was positive immunostaining in Sertoli cells, Leydig cells, spermatogonia, primary spermatocyte and spermatid at 65, 70, and 75 day periods. At 25 and 30 day periods of pre - pubertal stage, rat epididymis showed moderate positive immunostaining in epithelial cells, but strong positive staining in epithelial cells has been shown at 35, 40, and 45 day periods and at all periods of the post - pubertal stages. The result expressed positive immunostaining in the epithelial cells of the pre - pubertal rat prostate and strong positive immunostaining at the post - pubertal stage. on the otherhand both, pre - pubertal and post - pubertal rat seminal vesicle showed strong positive immunostaining in epithelial cells. Weak positive immunostaining of Inhba has been observed in the primary spermatocyte and no staining in Sertoli cells and Leydig cells in the prepubertal rat testis and at 55 day period of the post - pubertal rat testis, and no staining in Sertoli cells, Leydig cells and spermatogenic cells at 60, 65, 70, and 75 day periods. Moreover there was positive immunostaining in epithelial cells in both the pre - pubertal and post - pubertal rat epididymis and prostate. In the post - pubertal stage, rat prostate showed strong positive mmunostaining in epithelial cells. No staining was observed in epithelial cells in both the prepubertal and post - pubertal rat seminal vesicle. The pre - pubertal rat testis showed strong immunostaining for Inhbb subunit in Sertoli cells, Leydig cells and primary spermatocyte, in adittion to spermatid in post - pubertal rat testis. Strong positive immunostaining in epithelial cells of the pre - pubertal rat epididymis at 25 and 30 day periods was expressed, but moderate positive immunostaining in epithelial cells of prepubertalrat epididymis was observed at 35, 40, and 45 day periods and postpubertal rat epididymis. However Inhbb subunit in both pre - pubertal and postpubertal rat prostate showed positive immunostaining in epithelial cells. There was positive immunostaining in epithelial cells in the pre - pubertal rat seminal vesicle at 25, 30, 35, and 40 day periods, and strong positive immunostaining at 45 day period and post - pubertal stage.It could be concluded that serum inhibin - B has positive correlation with testis volum and testosterone concentration at pre - and post - pubertal stages, and positive correlation with FSH and LH concentrations at pre - pubertal but negative partial correlation at post - pubertal stage. There was relationship between serum inhibin and activin concentration and fold changes of Inha, Inhba, and Inhbb genes in testis, epididymis, prostate, and seminal vesicle tissues at all periods of the study. Positive immunostaining for inhibin ? - and ?B - subunits, but not for ?A - subunit has been shown in testis cells and epithelial cells of seminal vesicle, positive immunostaining for inhibin ?, ?A, and ?B subunits in the epididymis and prostate

Air temperature at sampling time was varied from 16°C to 42°C and from 10°C to 34°C, for water temperature at sampling time also. The results of pH values were within the allowable limits, ranging from 7.1in autumn to 8.1 in summer. For EC, the highest value recorded for raw water was in winter with 1338 µs/cm, while the lowest value was in spring with 920 µs/cm. The highest value recorded for drinking water was again in winter with 1330 µs/cm, and the lowest value was 910µs/cm in spring also. The highest value of turbidity recorded for raw water was in winter with 89 NTU and the lowest value was in spring with 26 NTU, while the highest mean value recorded for drinking water was 20 NTU again in winter and the lowest value was 1 NTU in spring. The study showed that the results of TDS values ware ranged from 622 mg/L in spring to 1024mg/L in winter. The highest value of residual chlorine was recorded in summer with 4.5 mg/L; the lowest value was zero mg/L in some of the farthest points of the plants. For sulfates, values were ranged from 289 mg/L in spring to 498.4 mg/L in winter. All the recorded values of chlorides ions for all water samples were within the allowable limits, its values ranged from 98mg/L in summer to156.3 mg/L in winter. For total hardness, the values were exceeding 500mg/L and allowable limits for Iraqi standard criteria. The highest value recorded for raw water was in winter with 520 mg/L and the lowest value was in summer with 351 mg/L, while the highest value recorded for drinking water was again in winter with 516mg/L and the lowest value was 337 mg/L in summer also. For calcium values ranged from 75 mg/L in summer to 135 mg/L in winter. The results of this study showed high levels of lead, cadmium and aluminum in most water samples which collected during study period compared with those that exceeded the acceptable limits provided from the quality control unit and which are considered to have adverse effects on health. For lead, values were found to vary from 0.0030 mg/l in summer to 0.16 mg/l in winter (higher acceptable limits is 0.01 mg/L). While in case of cadmium the values lied between 0.0014 mg/l in winter and 0.015 mg/l in summer (higher acceptable range is 0.0030). However, for aluminum these data were ranged from 0.0062 mg/l in raw water during spring to 0.29 mg/l in drinking water during spring also (higher acceptable range is 0.2). The current results showed an increased in the number of autotrophic bacteria, total coliform, fecal coliform, fecal streptococci, and E. coli during winter season in most study locations as compared to those of the other seasons for both water plants raw and drinking water while the FS values were less than those of other bacterial types for both water plants. The Total plat count results of drinking water were exceed 100 cell/ml, the allowable limit for drinking water, for some samples of both water plants. on the other hand, the TC, FC and E. coli exceeded zero cell/100ml, the allowable limits for drinking water, in many drinking water samples for both water plants

المستخلص: تم جمع خمسين عينة سريرية من قشع مرضى مصابين بذات الرئـــة. وذلك للمدة من تشرين الثاني 2013 ولغاية ايار 2013 من مستشفى ابن البلدي ومستشفى بغداد وذلك لعزل وتشخيص بكتريا Klebsiella pneumoniae التي تعد احدى العوامل المهمة المسببة لاصابات الرئة. واخضعت عينات | Fifty clinical samples collected from sputum of patients who suffered from pneumoniae in Ibn - Balady hospital and the hospital in Baghdad city during the period from November 2012 to May 2013 for the isolation and identification of Klebsiella pneumoniae, one of the important causative agents of infection occurs in the lungs. Sputum samples were subjects to the standard laboratory procedures including identification by biochemical test and VIETK system. The results showed 15 isolates were revealed as Klebsiella Spp, only 10 isolates represented K.pneumoniae, The isolates were examined to produce extracellular toxic complex (ETC) it was found that the isolate named K2 was the higher production. Two method for purification the extracellular toxic complex (ETC) were used, first Aqueous two phase systems, In this method polymer - salt aqueous two phase system was evaluated in crude extract of K. pneumoniae at varying concentration of Dextran T - 150 with 20% with polyvinyl pyrrolidone to final rate (1 : 1) (wt : wt) with 0.2M sodium sulphate. The results showed the best concentration dilution sample given as (4.25 : 0.75) with protein concentration (97.173 mg/ml) which contained ETC in the lower layer and the mice died within 4 hours, while the second method performed by using two step column chromatography, ion exchange DEAE - Cellulose and gel filtration (Sepharose - 4B). In the first step sample given lethal activity by injection to the mice after six hours with protein concentration (55mg/ml), More purification by the second step animal died after 3hours with contain protein (27.75mg/ml). Furthermore, the results of the extracellular toxic complex characterization proved that molecular weight was 39810 Dalton determined through Gel - filtration chromatography using Sepharose 6B gel. The LD50 value of purified toxin was calculated, and the result was (6.52 mg/ml) of toxin.This quantity was found effective to cause killing of 50% of the total toxin treated animals. The biological effect of purified toxin of K. pneumoniae K2 have been examined in vivo by injection of dose (0.5 ml) of purified ETC toxin that contain (10.875 mg/ml ) protein. The final part of the study involved the histopathological changes were noted, abundant mononuclear infiltrate of inflammatory cells with necrosis of lung parenchyma. The second group of mice injected with (0.05 ml of ETC) that contain protein (1.085mg/ml) represented as sub lethal dose Histopathological changes were noted showing near of the normal appearance of alveoli and alveolar space, with presence of congestion of blood vessels. The third group of mice inject with (0.5 ml from Tris - base buffer only) represented control showed normal alveoli and alveolar space with presence of bronchial. In the immunological test the sample ETC examined with ELISA and given IgG titer (189.68+50.70 ng/ml) compared with control (46.78+12.45). This titer of IgG tested with Double immune diffusion assay and gave precipitation line with antigen compared with control.

المستخلص: In recent years, foods produced by genetic engineering technology have been on the world food markets. The biosafety aspects, regulations, and labeling for these foods are still contentious issues in most countries. Thus detection and quantificationof GMOs play crucial role for developing regulations on GM foods.In this study, eighty six non - labeled rice samples from different locals and exported market were analyzed to detect the genetic modification using a DNA based detectionvmethods as, conventional Polymerase chain reaction (PCR), and Real time PCR (RTPCR).The DNA rice samples were extracted by manual C - hexadecyl - Trimethyl - Ammonium - Bromide (CTAB) method and wizard kit method. The result revealed that DNA yield by the two methods is comparable. Rice DNA tends to be of a higher concentration when purified with the CTAB method; however, this particular DNA is more easily to amplify, the optical density (OD) was recorded 1.70 - 1.98 and the concentration of DNA quantified by fluorometer DNA rice samples, ranged from 11 to 50.5 ?g/?l. The DNA rice sample has also been used successfully with the Wizard Genomic DNA Purification Kit, and showed varieties in quality, the OD was recorded 1.65 - 1.95, and the concentration between 4.7 - 43.8 ?g/?l.The rice specific gene (sps gene) was detected by PCR. The results demonstrate that the purity of the extracted DNA in all tested rice samples was sufficiently high for a sensitive PCR analysis and the primer of detected gene appeared clearly at 251pb.Three genes; CaMV 35S promoter, NOS terminator, and insecticide resistant gene Cry1Ac were used to detect of GM rice by PCR, and Real time PCR using oligonucleotide sets targeting to novel genes. The result showed that there was no positive result reaction with conventional PCR, while the outcome of gradient PCR revealed a positive reaction in one sample (Uncle Bens brown) for CaMV35S promoter only. Gradient PCR with 12 replicons for each sample was used for qualitative detection of CaMV35S promoter gene, after optimization of melting temperature and cycles run (45 cycles) , the results appeared positive in the last three grades (63.9, 64.6, 64.9) for CaMV35S promoter, but NOS terminator, and CryIAc were recorded negative results.The result of Real - Time PCR clarified that the CaMV35S promoter specific primer showed strong amplification with Ct, and Tm values were reached into 33.73, 38.63 and 61.55, 62.92 in two samples Uncle Bens brown and Himalayan brown, respectively, whereas NOS terminator gave positive results in four samples Maxims, Laasturiana, Carolin white and Mahatma, and the values Ct and Tm reached to30.87, 30.31, 30.54, 33.75 and 64.53, 64.61, 62.62, 63.87 respectively in comparison with the positive control, while CryI Ac which did not show any positive signal.It was concluded that using molecular methods like Real - time PCR will be useful tool for detecting GM rice such as a part of the approval detection processes because of the rarity of data concerning consumption of GM rice in Iraq.

المستخلص: داء المقوسات الكونديه مرض عالمي الانتشار حيث يصاب معظم الاشخاص ذوي المناعة الجيدة بطفيلي المقوسات الكونديه وغالبا دون ظهور اعراض. ان الهدف الرئيسي لهذه الدراسه هو فهم الفروقات الجنسيه, الهرمونيه والمناعيه في سن البلوغ في الاشخاص الذين لديهم اجسام مضاده نو | Toxoplasmosis is a worldwide disease where most healthy, immunocompetent individuals infected by Toxoplasma are almost asymptomatic.The primary goal of this study is to perceive the hormonal and immunological sex - differences in puberty age who have positive anti - Toxoplasma IgG specific antibodies. The secondary goal is to inspect the endocrine - immune interaction in these persons by detecting the effect of testosterone and oestradiol hormones level on cellular immune response namely, IL - 4, IL - 12. From the first of November 2012 till the end of April 2013, 303 blood samples were collected from apparently healthy male and female students of Al - Erfan, Ignadeen and Algawahery schools and Baghdad University, Both sexes where divided into two age groups : group (A) which included subjects with age range (12 - 15) years old and group (B) which included subjects with age range (16 - 19) years old. All serum samples were tested for toxoplasmosis by using Latex agglutination test and ELISA anti - Toxoplasma IgG antibodies test. As well as, all serum samples were tested by using ELISA technique for detection of serum mean concentration of testosterone, oestradiol hormones, IL - 12 and IL - 4. The results revealed that 107/ 303 (35.31%) of the studied subjects showed seropositive toxoplasmosis, 60 males and 47 females of 107 positive samples showed high significant (p<0.01) differences in comparison to uninfected subjects. Males group B have recorded the highest percentage 34(41.46%) of the infection. Positive association was found between toxoplasmosis and testosterone level in asymptomatic toxoplasmosis cases compared to uninfected group. high mean concentration of testosterone in toxoplasmosis infected males recorded (15.03± 1.04 ng/ml) and (12.4± 0.91 ng/ml) in groups A and B respectively, in comparison to control group which recorded (8.03± 0.78) and (9.86± 0.83) in groups A and B respectively. Also toxoplasmosis infected females revealed high levels of testosterone hormone which represented (4.83± 0.06 ng/ml) and (2.55± 0.03 ng/ml) in groups A and B respectively, with a significant (p?0.05) differences between them, while the control group recorded (0.10± 0.02 ng/ml) and (0.90±0.03 ng/ml) in group A and B respectively.The present study showed a significant (P?0.05) decrease in the mean concentration of oestradiol E2 hormone in toxoplasmosis infected males and females in comparison with uninfected ones. E2 mean concentration was (41± 2.48 ng/ml) and (56± 2.91 ng/ml) for male groups A and B, respectively, in comparison to control group which recorded (67± 2.08 ng/ml) and (74± 2.42 ng/ml) in group A and B respectively, while it was (188 ± 12.48 ng/ml) and (196 ± 16.52 ng/ml) for female group A and B respectively, in comparison to control group which recorded (221±12.09 ng/ml) and (233± 15.63 ng/ml) for group A and B, respectively.The mean concentration of E2 hormone in toxoplasmosis infected females according to their menstrual cycle showed low levels in ovulation, late follicular and luteal phases, which represent (37.5 ± 2.59 ng/ml), (131 ± 16.7 ng/ml) and (76± 3.92 ng/ml) respectively, while the mean concentration of this hormone in uninfected females was (52.4± 2.88 ng/ml), (271.6± 21.04 ng/ml) and (196.2± 12.37 ng/ml) in the three phases of menstrual cycle. This study showed high significant (p?0.05) level of IL - 12 in both males and females with latent toxoplasmosis in comparison with free - toxoplasmosis groups. The mean concentration of IL - 12 in infected males was (4.75 ± 0.88 pg/ml) and (4.12 ± 0.69 pg/ml) in male groups A and B respectively, in comparison to control group which was (2.86± 0.53 pg/ml) and (2.46± 0.62 pg/ml) in groups A and B respectively, while it was (5.60 ± 0.12 pg/ml) and (6.04 ± 0.26 pg/ml) in infected female groups A and B respectively, in comparison to control group which recorded (3.32± 0.89 pg/ml) and (4.27± 0.15 pg/ml) in group A and B respectively. IL - 4 recorded quite elevated level in toxoplasmosis infected males (groups A and B) which was (15.09 ± 0.92 pg/ml) and (17.67 ± 0.78 pg/ml) respectively, in comparison to control group which recorded (13.89± 0.84 pg/ml) and (14.92± 0.69 pg/ml) in groups A and B respectively, Meanwhile the mean concentration of IL - 4 in toxoplasmosis infected females showed mild elevation in both groups A and B which was (15.14 ± 0.84 pg/ml) and (16.06 ± 1.13 pg/ml) respectively, in comparison with toxoplasmosis free subjects which recorded (16.53± 1.22 pg/ml) and (15.15 ± 0.97 pg/ml) with no significant differences between them. Interactions between the endocrine and immune systems may mediate sex differences in response to toxoplasmosis infection.

المستخلص: The study aimed to isolate and identify the Enterococcus spp. from different clinical specimens and study the virulence factors of predominant species, as well as detected the virulence factors encoding genes such as efaA (endocarditis - associated antigen), esp (enterococcal surface protein), eep (stimulating of pheromones expression) and enlA (enterolysin A) genes by PCR techniques.There were three hundred clinical specimens collected from patients suffering from different clinical infections during the period from September 2013 to January 2014 in AL - Sadder Medical City and AL - Hakem General Hospital. The identification of the Enterococcus spp. isolates were depended on colonial morphology, microscopic examination and biochemical tests as a primary identification. The final identification was performed with the automated VITEK - 2 compact system using Gram positive - Identification (GP - ID) cards.According to the results obtained by the VITEK tests forty two clinical isolates of Enterococcus were detected, which distributed into : (22) isolates from urine, (8) vaginal swabs, (6) seminal fluid, (4) throat swabs and two isolates from wound swabs with no isolates from cerebral spinal fluid, stool and blood specimens.This study revealed that the E. faecalis is more distributed with 25(59.52%), followed by E. faecium with 10 (23.80%), E.avium with 5 (11.90 %), E. durans and E. raffinosus with 1(2.39%) for each.The study investigated the virulence factors of E. faecalis, E.faecium and E.avium, which play a major role in enterococcus pathogenicity. E. faecalis and E.faecium had the ability to producecapsule, gelatinase, biofilm, adhesion, protease, bacteriocin, haemolysin and cytolysin except ? - lactamase produced only by E. faecalis while E.avium produced all these virulence factors except gelatinase, bacteriocin and cytolysin.The results revealed variation in the resistance of bacteria to antibiotics, E.faecalis express absolute resistance (100%) to Erythromycin, high resistance against Gentamycin, Tetracyclin and Vancomycin but high susceptibility to Ciproflaxacin and Penicillin and moderate susceptibility to Chloramphenicol. E.faecium exhibited absolute resistance (100%) to Erythromycin, Gentamycin and Tetracyclin, high resistance against Chloramphenicol, Penicillin and Vancomycin but high susceptibility to Ciproflaxacin while E.avium exhibited susceptibility (100%) to all these antibiotics except Tetracyclin showed absolute resistance.Then detected the virulence factors encoding genes : efaA, esp, eep and enlA genes by using PCR techniques and Electrophoresis Systems.Finally, The genotypic method. Regard to genotypic study the outcome showed that 21(84%) isolates of E.faecalis, 4(40%) of E.faecium and 5(100%) of E.avium were carrying efaA gene and 17(68%) of E.faecalis, 5(50%) of E.faecium, 5(100%) of E.avium were carrying esp gene while eep gene was carrying only by E.faecalis and E.faecium ; 12(48%) and 3(30%) respectively. Also the results revealed that only 1(4%) isolates of E.faecalis have enlA gene.

المستخلص: Studies have linked FOXP3 and TGF - ? expression to the outcome of certain cancers. FOXP3 is a marker known to be expression in T - regulatory cells while TGF - ? is a secreted protein usually detected in the extra cellular matrix.The present study aimed at focusing on the identification of immune markers namely FOXP3 and TGF - ? with their expression patterns in lung cancer patients as a useful tool to predict disease progression.Also it is aimed to design molecular evaluation of m RNA expression of both FOXP3 and TGF - ? in peripheral blood mononuclear cells and bronchial (brush) cells of patients with lung cancer and benign lesions, using qRT PCR; determining the T - reg level in the peripheral blood employing the High Rsolution Melting (HRM) as a novel method to detect Treg - specific demethylated region (TSDR); molecular DNA analysis of somatic mutation of exons 3, 6, 7 of FOXP3 in patients with lung cancer tissue and benign lesions and immunohistochemical (IHC) estimation of FOXP3 and TGF - ?1 in T - reg and cancer cells in formalin fixed paraffin embedded(FFPE)lung cancer tissue and benign lesions.Blood samples were collected from 30 patients with newly diagnosed, non small cell lung carcinoma and 30 patients with benign lesions.Patients were recruited at The Specialized Surgery Hospital and Oncology Teaching Hospital/Baghdad.Samples from 16 apparently healthy donors were used as control during the period from June 2012 to June 2013. The samples preservation with TRIzol reagent were subjected to molecular study including RNA and DNA extraction; reverse transcription; RT - PCR; HRM assay and DNA sequencing were done in the Molecular Oncology Unit/Guys and ST Thomas? s hospital/ King College/London/UK.The expression level of FOXP3 was high in 16(61.5%)in lung cancer cases.A significant difference was noticed between cancer cases from one side and benign lesions or healthy control on the other side p<0.05.Mean of FOXP3 expression(fold change)was significantly high(2.64±0.09)in cancer cases than in benign cases(1.32±0.04)and healthy control(1.38±0.06)with p<0.05.A significant association between high expression level and >60 age and squamous cell carcinoma in cancer cases P<0.05.The expression level of TGF - ? was high in 16(61.5%)in lung cancer cases.A significant difference was noticed between cancer cases from one side and benign lesions or healthy control on the other side p<0.05.Mean of TGF - ? expression (fold change) was significantly high (6.27±0.56) in cancer cases more than healthy control (2.87±0.09) with p<0.05.The association was significant between TGF - ? expression level (high and low) and age>60in cancer and benign groups (p<0.05), while no significant association with gender and cancer types were noticed.For FOXP3 mRNA expression in bronchial brush cells, the result showed no significant difference between the mean fold change of malignant(3.57 ± 0.06) and benign(4.02 ± 0.06) patients. The low expression was predominated both in cancer and benign cases. No significant differences were found between FOXP3 expression (high and low) and age; gender ; cancer types..According to FOXP3 T - reg specific demethylated region detection, results showed that the mean percentage of FOXP3demethylation in lung cancer patients (4.32 ± 0.04) was significantly higher than in benign lesions (3.22 ± 0.02) patients andhealthy controls(3.33±0.04). A positive correlation coefficient with high significant, was found in the group of cancer samples (R² = 0.6653;r = 0.69;P : 0.0017)on correlating percentage of Treg and demethylation of FOXP3 from one side with its m RNA expression on the other side.In benign lesion group was(R² = 0.5334;r= 0.59;p= 0.0027), While in the control group a positive correlation but a weak significance was found (R²= 0.2383;r=0.28;P=0.0437).FOXP3 gene sequencing revealed high frequency of missense mutations c.715 GTA>CTA : V 239 L in 17 (94.44%) in malignant sample and non cancerous cases7 (87.5%)without statistical differences. Missence mutations were also detected in exone 3 in 3(16.67%) cancer cases and in 1(12.5 %) benign lesion.No missense mutations could be detected in exon 6. Intronic mutations and silent mutation were variable in three exons without statistical differences. Many cases of adenocarcinoma have shown multiple mutations either of missense or Intronic types. Missense mutations of exon 7 were correlated significantly with an age of 60?years. Exon 3 mutations were significantly associated with adenocarcinoma. Positive FOXP3 Immunohistochemistry (IHC) staining in tumor cells was associated with high missense mutations frequency 10(55.55%) in exon7, while in exone 3 was 2(11.11%). Negative FOXP3 IHC staining in the tumor cells was associated with seven missense mutations in exon7 and one (5.55%) in exon 3, in addition 4(23.53%) cases of the exon 7 missense mutations were associated with negative FOXP3 expression in lymphocytes.The result showed that FOXP3 by using IHC staining was positive in 21(70%) of nuclei of cancer cells, and 22(73.3%)in Treg infiltrates.The positive cancer cells and Treg infiltrates associated significantly with age>60 (p<0.05).No significant association was found withgender, cancer type, while there is association with moderate differentiation compared to poorly differentiation (p<0.05). High frequence of FOXP3 expression score 3 and high intensity were appeared in nuclear cancer cells compared to benign lesions cells, while Treg infiltrates with score 1 and high intensity was high frequency in malignant and benign.The result showed that TGF - ?1 by using IHC staining was positive in 25(83.3%) in the cancer cells and 21(70%) in stromal cells. No significant difference was noted between positive expression in malignant and benign lesions p>0.05.No significant association was noticed between positive cells expression and age, gender, cancer type and differentiation p>0.05. High frequency of TGF - ?1 expression score 3 and high intensity in malignant cells and benign. Also stromal cell expression score 3 and high intensity were predominated in malignant and benign lesions. The high and moderate intensity expression was more frequent in matrix surrounding cancer cells compared to non cancerous.Total agreement and kappa coefficient between FOXP3 and TGF - ?1were poor in malignant and benign epithelial cells and stroma, while the perfect agreement was between expression of TGF - ?1in stromal cells

المستخلص: The present study aimed to understand the correlation between serum level of nine cytokines (IL - 1?, IL - 1RA, IL - 2, IL - 4, IL - 6, IL - 10, IL - 12, IFN - ? and TNF - ?) and their genetic polymorphisms at 16 gene positions defined by sequence specific primer - polymerase chain reaction (SSP - PCR) in pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) patients, and in addition HLA - DQB1 gene polymorphism was also defined by SSP - PCR to determine their role in susceptibility or resistance to M. tuberculosis. Finally, serum level of cortisol was also determined in the patients.Ninety four Iraqi Arabs PTB patients (70 males and 24 females) were enrolled in the study. They were referred to the Institute of Chest and Respiratory Diseases in Baghdad for diagnosis and treatment during the period May - October 2012. A control sample of 80 apparently healthy individuals was also included and matched patients for gender (60 males and 20 females) and ethnicity. The results are summarized in the following : 1. A significant increased serum level of IL - 1? (24.16 ± 8.82 vs. 3.20 ± 1.18 pg/ml), IL - 1RA (41.31 ± 6.64 vs. 16.85 ± 5.50 pg/ml), IL - 2 (17.63 ± 3.53 vs. 7.80 ± 1.10 pg/ml), IL - 4 (9.56 ± 2.60 vs. 3.81 ± 1.70 pg/ml), IL - 10 (34.49 ± 4.60 vs. 7.61 ± 1.70 pg/ml), IL - 12 (25.16 ± 5.85 vs. 7.70 ± 1.12 pg/ml) and TNF - ? (22.52 ± 4.41 vs. 4.97 ± 1.15 pg/ml) was recorded in PTB patients compared to controls. Also, Cortisol serum level was significantly increased in patients (215.47 ± 1.33 vs. 38.63 ± 1.74 ng/ml).2. Cytokine gene polymorphism analysis revealed that neither genotypes nor alleles of IL1A - 889, IL2 - 330, IL2+166, IL4 - 590, IL4 - 33, IL6+565, IL10 - 819, IL10 - 592, IL12B - 1188 and TNF - 238 genes showed a significant variation between PTB patients and controls. In contrast, the frequency of TT genotype of IL1RN gene at position mspal 11100 showed a significant (P = 0.004) increase in PTB patients compared to controls (65.9 vs. 43.7%). For IL4 - 1098, the frequency of TT genotype was also significantly (P = 0.048) increased inpatients (82.9 vs. 70.0%). At position - 174 of IL6 gene, a significant (P = 0.002) increased frequency of GG genotype was observed in patients (55.3 vs. 31.2%). For IL10 gene, only GG genotype at position IL10 - 1082 was observed with a significant (P = 0.045) increased frequency in patients (18.1 vs. 7.5%). At position - 308 of TNF gene, a significant (P = 6.9 x 10 - 5) decreased frequency of GG genotype was observed in patients (60.6 vs. 87.5%), while GA genotype was significantly (P = 1.3 x 10 - 4) increased (38.2 vs. 12.5%). Finally, the frequency of AA genotype of IFNG gene at position +874 demonstrated a significant (P = 0.006) increase in PTB patients (55.3%) compared to controls (33.7%).3. To determine the impact of cytokine genotypes on cytokines serum level, PTB patients and controls were distributed according to their serum level in the three genotypes of each cytokine. It was found that CC genotype of IL1RNmspal 11100 in patients was observed with the highest IL - 1RA level (52.16 ± 5.81 pg/ml) compared to TT (41.39 ± 3.23 pg/ml) or TC (38.10 ± 4.54 pg/ml) genotype. The TT genotype of IL2 at position - 330 also showed the highest level of IL - 2 (22.16 ± 4.31 pg/ml) compared to TG (17.59 ± 3.40 pg/ml) or GG (13.68 ± 3.53 pg/ml) genotype in patients. The IL4 - 1098 TT genotype showed the highest level of IL - 4 in patients (10.38 ± 2.21 pg/ml) compared to TG (6.09 ± 1.20 pg/ml) or GG (3.93 ± 0.80 pg/ml) genotype. For IL10 gene, the GG genotype of IL10 - 1082 recorded the highest level of IL - 10 (40.67 ± 2.96 pg/ml), which was significantly different from AA genotype (26.66 ± 5.65 pg/ml). At position - 308 of TNF gene, serum level of TNF - ? in GG genotype of patients demonstrated a significant increased mean compared to genotype GA (24.76 ± 1.30 vs. 19.15 ± 1.12 pg/ml). At position - 238, TNF GG genotype showed a significant increase level of TNF - ? (23.02 ± 2.91 pg/ml) in patients compared to AA genotype (17.18 ± 1.53 pg/ml) of patients. Finally, IFNG+874 AA genotype was observed with the highest IFN - ? level in patients (11.07 ± 1.12 pg/ml) compared to AT (7.97 ± 1.81 pg/ml)or TT (6.10 ± 2.20 pg/ml) genotype. In contrast, no such differences were observed in controls.4. Out of the five encountered HLA - DQB1 alleles, DQB1*03 showed a significant (P = 0.005) increased frequency in PTB patients compared to controls (71.3 vs. 50.0%). It was also observed that heterozygosity at such gene locus was significantly (P = 0.03) more frequent in patients than in controls (93.6 vs. 82.5%), while homozygosity was observed with a less percentage frequency in patients compared to controls (6.4 vs. 17.5%) and the difference was also significant (P = 0.03).Accordingly, it is possible to conclude that the cytokine profile was deviated in PTB patients, and such deviation was correlated with the genotypes of some cytokines, which might also together with HLA - DQB1polymorphism confer the individual an immunogenetic predisposition to develop M. tuberculosis infection.

Subjects of this study were Investigated for the role of Cytomegalovirus among them, their age ranged between (1 - 88) years. Twenty four (age - and sex - matched) healthy individuals without any evidence of chronic inflammatory disease depended as control. All patients and control divided in four age groups. Blood and urine samples were collected from patients and control for immunological (IgM, IgG, C3, C4, IL - 6, IL - 10, IL - 12 & IFN - ?) by using ELISA and molecular study by RT - PCR, respectively. The obtained results showed that HCMV - IgG antibody was 100% for all cases, while IgM was 18.66% compared with that of control. Real time - PCR amplification for presence of HCMV DNA in urine samples revealed that HCMV genome were detected in 22(14.66%) of the 150 urine samples in all age groups, that distributed into 12(21.05%) with viral load ranged (20 - 543840) Copy/ml in females and 10 (10.75%) with viral load ranged (40 - 28050) Copy/ml for males. The results of cytokines profile showed a highly significant(P<0.05) elevation in patients than control. According to sex females appeared higher IFN - ?, IL - 6, IL - 10 ( 83.86, 82.67, 9.06 pg/ml, respetively) than males were (76.57 , 79.36, 6.51 pg/ml, respectively). Where's IL - 12 were recorded higher elevation in male (28.83 pg/ml ) than females (27.35 pg/ml). According to age groups 41 - 60 age group showed high level in IFN - ?, IL - 6, IL - 10 were (96.45, 90.40, 9.62) pg/ml , respectively.While IL - 12 appeared high level (37.43 pg/ml ) in age group 1 - 20 years Complement fractions C3, C4 decreased in all groups of patients compared to those of a healthy control. C3 was recorded (64.37 mg/dl) in females, and (70.24 mg/dl) in males and decreased to (63.41 mg/dl) in age group (1 - 20) years, while C4 decreased significantly among sex it was (21.06 mg/dl) in females and(24.22 mg/dl) in males, and down to (21.65 mg/dl) in age group (21 - 40) years.The overall finding results showed that HCMV are more prevalence among chronic renal failure patients and cause immune suppressor for them by increase and decrease many immune factors.

المستخلص: The study aimed to investigating the role of coagulase - negative staphylococci in human infections, and determining the predominance genes of the virulence factors. Three hundred clinical specimens were collected from out and inpatients undergoing catheter related infections and twenty specimens were collected from healthy hospital staff as a control from January 2013 to July 2013 of Al - Zahraa Teaching Hospital, Al - Sader Teaching Hospital and Al - Hakeem Hospital in Al - Najaf Al - Ashraf province. The specimens were included urine, blood, vaginal swabs, seminal fluid and wound swabs. The specimens were cultured on mannitol salt agar and the primary identification was depended on Gram stained and biochemical tests. Then finally identification with Vitek 2 system is done.One hundred isolates were identified as coagulase - negative staphylococci (CoNS), Staphylococcus haemolyticus was identified as the most frequently isolated species in (53%), followed by Staphylococcus epidermidis (26%) and Staphylococcus hominis were recorded in (21%). Most of CoNS isolates were highly resistance to penicillin G (benzylpenicillin), oxacillin, cefoxitin and erythromycin; and low resistance to rifampicin, levofloxacin and others. While, control isolates results showed moderate resistance to penicillin G and erythromycin; low - level of resistance to cefoxitin, oxacillin and other antibiotics.The investigation of virulence factors revealed that 93% of coagulase - negative staphylococci isolates were production of slime layer, DNase 58%, protease 29% and hemolysin 88%. But the results gave negative result for TNase and lipase enzymes.Monoplex and multiplex PCR were used to explore the MecA, aap, icaA, icaD, atlE, sea, seb, sec, sed, hla, hlb, sspA, sspB, geh, nuc genes. The results showed that all CoNS isolates (100%) had mecA and atlEgenes, but 98% of isolates had aap, 93% icaA and icaD genes. PCR revealed that only (14%) of isolates had genes for enterotoxins expression. (92.86%) and (7.14%), sea and seb respectively, in contrast, the sec and sed genes were not be recorded.The result showed that 47% of CoNS isolates had hla gene and 41% contain hlb gene, 29% were positive for the sspA gene whereas the sspB gene and geh and nuc2 genes not found in any of staphylococcal isolates. Finally, the result indicated that 58% of CoNS isolates were expressed the nuc1 gene.Plasmid curing was carried out in order to determine the origin of resistance and some virulence factor genes (chromosomal or plasmid - borne gene). The curing (elimination) of the plasmids of coagulase - negative staphylococci isolated was catalyzed using ethidium bromide in different concentration and high temperature (44?C). The results showed that the oxacillin resistant coagulase - negative staphylococci were plasmid mediated since 93% of the isolates showed negative result on oxacillin resistance screening agar, and absence of mecA gene from all isolates. Also, 41 of coagulase - negative staphylococci isolates that showed ? - hemolysin became non - hemolysin after manipulated with ethidium bromide.Finelly, taking into consideration the etiological importance of CoNS has often been neglected, the present investigation confirmed that these microorganisms should not be ignored or classified as mere contaminant.

S. mutans had been proposed as the main etiological agents of dental caries and high levels of mutans streptococci in the plaque is correlated with a higher risk for dental caries. Seventy five plaque samples were collected from human teeth. Forty two samples were considered to be positive bacterial isolates using MS - agar (Mitist Salivares agar). Thirty five isolates were considered belonging to the group Streptococci; among these isolates 29 isolates were expected to be belonging to mutans streptococci group according to ability of producing special kind of exopolysaccharides. Ten isolates were considered as S. mutans with a percentage of 41% depending on staining with triphenyltetrazolium chloride and tolerance with NaCl 4%, 6 isolates were classified as serotype C by using Lancefield grouping identification. These isolates were tested for production of extracellular Glucosyltransferase (GTF) through determination of their enzyme specific activity. All isolates were able to produce the enzyme; Streptococci isolate (H5) identified as Streptococcus mutans serotype C was selected as the best producible isolate for GTF with a specific activity of 2.6 U/mg. It was found that GTF of the chosen isolate (H5) was produced during the middle stationary phase (18 - 35 hr.) and its maximal productivity was reached at 22 hr. Purification of S. mutans serotype (C) H5 GTF were done by ammonium sulfate, ion - exchange chromatography (DEAE - Sephacel column), and gel - filtration chromatography using Sepharose 6B column. The best percent saturation use for precipitating GTF by ammonium sulfate was 20 - 40% with specific activity 3.4 U/mg. Two purified GTF enzymes (GTF - I and GTF - II) were detected with specific activity 8.3 U/mg, 35.5 U/mg after 22.6, and 96.1 fold of purification respectively with yield 17.2%. Purification S. mutans CA - GTF (H5) were done by 8M urea, ammonium sulfate, DEAE - Sephacel column and gel - filtration (sepharose 6B) column chromatography. The purified CA - GTF was detected with specific activity 18.1 U/mg after 24.5 fold of purification with yield 20.2%. Determination of purified GTF (GTF - I, GTF - II) and CA - GTF molecular weight was done by using gel - filtration chromatography (sepharose 6B) column with presence of standards proteins. It was found that the molecular weight of GTF - I, GTF - II and CA - GTF was 125.819, 112.201 and 84.139 dalton, respectively. The ability of GTF, CA - GTF and whole cell of S. mutans to stimulate the immune system of avian hens was tested. The intramuscular rout injection of three purified antigens (GTF, CA - GTF and whole cell) in the chest of experimental hens was done. IgG from egg yolk hens (IgY) was purified through the post immunization period (9 weeks) by using polyethylene glycol (PEG) precipitation and protein content of IgY antibodies was estimated from egg yolk and serum. Each one milliliter of purified IgY egg yolk samples GTF, CA - GTF and Whole cell, protein contained 7.06, 6.97, 3.9 mg/ml, respectively while in serum protein content about2.6, 3.1 and 3.25 mg/ml, respectively. The Sodium dodecyle sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS - PAGE) of anti - GTF (IgY) indicated that purified IgY gave two bands; 47.863 and 34.673dalton which were considered to be IgY heavy and light chains respectively. the IgY - CA - GTF sample is the best in terms IgY specificity 34.07% while the two samples (GTF, Whole cell) performed 30.5% and 29.3% respectively, Igy - GTF the best in terms purity 49% followed IgY - CA - GTF 47% and IgY - whole cell 46.3%. The immunological specificity of the three IgY samples preparations was assessed by ELISA test and the best sample that produced high titration was IgY - GTF with concentration 3.5 mg/ml, followed by the IgY - CA - GTF and IgY - whole cell with concentration 3.28 and 3.1 mg/ml respectively. The IgY - GTF inhibited approximate 75% of the specific activity GTF, while IgY - CA - GTF inhibited 50% of the specific activity CA - GTF. A double immunodiffusion test for detection of the immune response between anti - GTF IgY and purified GTF, CA - GTF and Whole cell antigens were recorded. The immunological response of anti - GTF and anti - CA - GTF was indicated by the appearance of precipitation lines on the surface gel between anti - GTF and two antigens GTF and CA - GTF while in the anti - CA - GTF and anti whole cell only with homologues antigen. The effect of different concentration of inhibitor (Amoxicillin) and anti - GTF, anti - CA - GTF and anti - whole cell on the growth of S. mutans bacteria were tested using broth dilution method and diffusion method on solid medium. Anti - GTF and anti - CA - GTF had no effect on the growth of S. mutans(H5) serotype C, while anti - whole - cell and Amoxicillin were capable to inhibit the growth of bacteria at concentration 20µg/ml and 15µg/ml respectively. The minimal inhibitory concentrations in which these concentrations were noticed at 35µg/ml and 30 µg/ml respectively. The highest zone of inhibition (40 mm) was recognized with Amoxicillin at concentration of 50 µg/ml, followed by anti - whole cell with a zone of inhibition of 34 mm at concentration of 70 µg/ml.

المستخلص: اجريت هذة الدراسة في معهد الهندسة الوراثية والتقنيات الاحيائية في جامعة بغداد خلال الفترة من تشرين الثاني 2012 الى ايار 2013، للكشف عن علاقة تسوس الاسنان بين مرضى السكري والمرضى غير المصابين بالسكري DDCP) و(NDCP اعتمادا على تسوس الاسنان من انواع Streptoco | The present study was carried out in Genetic Engineering and biotechnology Institute / University of Baghdad during the period from November, 2012 to May, 2013 to detect the relationship between diabetic and non - diabetic patients according to the dental caries occurrence and its causes by Streptococcus spp. (S. mutans, S. salivarius and S. oralis (which are isolated from oral cavity, In addition, this study was carried out to study the comparison between the traditional (bacterial culturing) and molecular diagnosis methods. The total number of the studied groups was 95 Iraqi patients (45 diabetic dental caries patients (DDCP) and 50 non - diabetic dental caries patients (NDCP) of both genders who their ages ranged from 18 - 65 years old. The patients, samples including saliva and buccal swabs that randomly collected from DDCP and NDCP who were reviewing Al - Alweyia Centers of Dental Caries and Diabetic Diseases in Al - Yarmook hospital in Baghdad city. The distribution of patients who have dental caries according to genders showed high significant differences at (p<0.01) between two genders (30 females, 15 males) for diabetic dental caries patients, while in non diabetic dental caries patients, there were significant differences at (p<0.05) between two genders (29 females, 21 males). The distribution of diabetic dental caries patients according to age showed high significant differences at (p<0.01) between two genders in age group of 36 - 50 years old, While low significant differences at (p<0.05) between two genders in age group of 20 - 35 years old and no significant differences between two genders in age group more than 50 years old, In another hand in non diabetic dental caries patients, there were no significant differences between two genders in all age groups. The results of samples (saliva and buccal swabs) culturing on mitis salivarius bacitracin agar media (MSBA) appeared that out of 95 bacterial cultures, 67 bacterial cultures were grown (32 bacterial cultures for diabetic dental caries patients and 35 bacterial cultures for non diabetic dental caries patients); S. mutans, S. salivarius, and S. oralis species were identified according to the results of microscopic examination, API kit 20 - strep, hemolysis on blood agar, motility test and catalase test. The molecular study focused on the analysis of DNA which extracted directly from saliva, buccal swabs and from the bacterial culture cells of S. mutans, S. salivares and S. oralis from both diabetic dental caries patients and non diabetic dental caries patients. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) results revealed the presence of the product with 433, 544, and 374 bp which were related to gtfD (S. mutans), gtfK (S. salivarius) and gtfR (S. oralis) respectively in all samples (saliva, buccal swabs and bacterial culture). According to the presence of these three genes, there were high significant differences at (p<0.01) between diabetic dental caries patients and non diabetic dental caries patients, while there were no significant differences according to the percentage of presence of each gene between the three species of bacteria. Sequencing of the PCR products of the gtfs (gtfD, gtfK, and gtfR) genes region showed that nine samples gave acceptable results according to National center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) matching, while 3 samples gave no results; this may be due to an error in sequencing system. The sequencing analysis of gtfs gene (gtfD, gtfK and gtfR) revealed that in DDCP the highest percentage of recorded mutations was in the gtfR gene.While in non diabetic dental caries patients, the highest percentage of recorded mutations in the gtfK gene than gtfR genes. In gtfR gene all mutations were substitution for diabetic dental caries patients and non diabetic dental caries patients. Nevertheless, in diabetic dental caries patients the mutations in gtfK and gtfD genes distributed between substitution and deletion mutations without recording any type of insertion mutation. But, in non diabetic dental caries patients, in gtfD all mutations were distributed between three types of mutations (substitution, insertion and deletion). The highest percentage of the effect of mutations in gtfs genes (gtfD, gtfR and gtfK) in diabetic dental caries patients were silent and missense mutation's than the frameshift mutations. on the other hand, the highest percentage of the effect of mutations in gtfs genes (gtfD, gtfR and gtfK) in non diabetic dental caries patients was missense mutations as compared with the other two types of silent and frameshift mutations

Genomic DNA was isolated by using Geneaid DNA extraction kit from the whole blood; conventional PCR (SNP - 44 and Del/Ins - 19) and PCR - RFLP (SNP - 43 and SNP - 63) were used to detect the calpain10 variants by using specific primers and restriction enzymes. The study population consisted of 50 subjects with type 2 diabetes and 50 with normal fasting blood glucose (80 - 110 mg/dl). The type 2 diabetic subjects were recruited from the National Center for Diabetes treatment and Research. The non - diabetic control subjects were recruited from the same area as the comprising blood donors, healthy volunteers, or hospital /university staff members. Previous studies have detected a role for Calpain - 10 (CAPN10) polymorphisms in susceptibility to Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in many populations. This study aimed to evaluate possible associations between these polymorphisms in the CAPN10 gene (SNP - 44, SNP - 43, Del/Ins - 19, and SNP - 63) and T2DM incidence in Iraqi population. Enrichment of allele 1(2R) in Del/Ins - 19 and 2R/2R genotype were found in T2DM patients. While the alleles and genotypes distribution of SNP - 44, SNP - 43 and SNP - 63 were not significantly different between patient groups and non - diabetic control subjects. The genotype AA in SNP - 43 and genotype TT in SNP - 63 were not found neither in T2DM nor in control subjects. of the eight haplotypes detected, enrichment of both haplotype 112 defined by variants of SNP - 43, Del/Ins - 19, and SNP - 63 and haplotype 2112 defined by variants of SNP - 44, SNP - 43, Del/Ins - 19, and SNP - 63 were seen in patients. The distribution of the other haplotypes was comparable between patients and control subjects. The calpain10 haplotype combinations were also obtained, and the haplotype combinations 111/111 and 111/112; which are created by variants of SNP - 43, del/ins - 19 and SNP - 63 and; haplotype combinations 1111/2111, 1111/2112 and 1121 / 2222; created by SNP - 44, SNP - 43, del/ins - 19 and SNP - 63; were associated with increasing the risk of T2DM.

Lippia nodiflora (L.) Rich.29. Tribulus terrestris L.Some of these species have been anatomically investigated for the first time.Anatomical characters might be useful for plant biologist for the identification of important wild plants as an additional character at global level. Comparative anatomical characters were used; such as characteristics of ordinary epidermal cells of stems and leaves and stomatal complexes. The epidermis possesses number of important diagnostic character that offer valuable clues for identification, like size, shape, in addition to indumentum of both stems and leaves. Venation system was investigated and compared. Cross sections of root were useful taxonomically especially the thickness of epidermis, cortex, phloem and xylem. The study observed presence of sclerenchyma tissues in the root cortex of some species. Cross sectioning of stems and petioles were also studied. Epidermis, cortex, pericycle, vascular bundle shapes and numbers, pith characters, presence of crystals and tannin filled cells were useful aid in distinguishing species. Vertical sections of leaf blades, shape and number of vascular bundles, thickness of palisade and spongy layers and other mesophyll characters were important taxonomically.ccording to some of these characters, species were divided into groups. This study concluded the presence of variations in characters and these were presented for the first time comparatively, so that, the anatomical characters were a good support to the exomorphological characters in the studied species. Field photographs of the different studied plants and sections of organs were put in addition to numerous tables in this work. The above results were discussed scientifically regarding mainly the environmental factors.

المستخلص: تضمنت الدراسة الحالية عزل وتشخيص طحالب كبيرة من بيئتين مائيتين محليتين مختلفتين. تم عزل ثلاث طحالب كبيرة هي Cladophora glomerata (N) وEnteromorpha rafsii من منطقه بحر النجف في محافظة النجف, في حين عزل Cladophora glomerata (R) من احد مبازل منطقة الراشدية ش | The present study includes isolation and identification of Macro - algae from two different environmental water bodies. Three Macro - algae were isolated, Cladophora glomerata (N) and Enteromorpha ralfsii from Baher Al - Najaf region in Holy Najaf city. In addition, C. glomerata (R) was isolated from Al - Rashdiya, north of Baghdad.Phytopathogenic fungi from soil and some infected fruits were also isolated. They were identified as Pythium ultimum and Rhizoctonia solani.Water and ethanol were used to extract each algae to evaluate their antifungal activity against isolated phytopathogenic fungi. Different concentrations of these algal extracts had been prepared which are (10, 25 and 50) mg/ml and the antagonistic activity against the isolated phytopathogenic fungi were evaluated, the hot and cold water extracts did not show any antagonistic activity against fungi. However, all these extracts were ignored in the future work for this study. Furthermore, the hot ethanolic extract was more efficient than these of cold ethanolic extracts. Results have been shown that there were significant differences when macro - algal ethanolic extract were used.C. glomerata (R), which isolated from Al - Rashdiya, was more efficient against tested fungi than the same alga what isolated from Baher Al - Najaf region. However, E. ralfsii extract was more efficient against tested fungi than C. glomerata (N). Percentage of inhibition against P. ultimum when hot ethanolic extract of E. ralfsii, C. glomerata(R) and C. glomerata(N) were (88.8, 83.3 and 63.3) respectively.However, results for cold ethanolic extract of the same algae were (63.3, 52.2 and 32.2) respectively when 50 mg/ml of algal extracts were used.Percentage of inhibition against R. solani when hot ethanolic extract of E. ralfsii, C.glomerata (R) and C.glomerata(N) were (94.4, 100 and 78.8) respectively.However, results for cold ethanolic extract of the same algae were (66.6, 64.4 and 48.8) respectively when 50 mg/ml was used. According to the difference in biological activities against those phytopathogenic fungi caused by the same species of macro - algae or different genera from different environments.

Results indicated that soaked Cucumis sativus and Capsicum annum seeds in cold and hot ethanolic macro - algae extracts of (E. ralfsii, C. glomerata (R) and C.glomerata (N) for 24 hours were able to protect seed germination that have been grown in a Petri dish contaminated with P. ultimum and R. solani comparing with control. In addition, results indicated that spraying C. sativus and C. annum seedling with these algal extracts within two weeks old again protects these seedlings from the same phytopathogenic fungi either before or after 24 hr. However, results indicated that adding the algal extracts within two months age to the C. sativus and C. annum plants again protects these plants from the same phytopathogenic fungi comparing with control and fungicide treatment. Moreover, results indicated that the active chemical compounds in E. ralfsii was Tannins, Saponins and Flavonoids. While C. glomerata was contained Tannins, Saponins, Alkaloid and Phenols. Results indicated that both hot crud methanolic extract of C. glomerata (R) and E. ralfsii have a lot of active chemical compounds against micro - organisms by using the GC - Mass Spectrometry technology.

Thirty animals of adult local breed sheep weighing (27.4±2.46) kg were used in 6 different anesthetic protocols. The animals were divided into six groups (5 animals of each). The first three groups (without using of xylazine) were giving the drugs by IV injection in the jugular vein : G1 giving K4 and P10 mg/kg IV, G2 giving K4T2 mg/kg IV, and G3 giving K4 T2 P10 IV. In the other groups (G4, G5, and G6) xylazine were adding to the anesthetic protocol. G4 giving K4 T2 P10 X0.05 by IV route. G5 was giving K10 T2 P10 X1 mg/kg by IM route and G6 giving K20 T4 P10 X2.5 mg/kg by IM route. The HR, RR, RT, muscle relaxation, limb, and flank analgesia, and rumen movement were taken before administration of anesthesia (time 0) and consider as the control reading. Then taken at 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 45 and 60 minutes or till the end of anesthesia. In the IV groups (without using of xylazine), (G1, G2, and G3). The induction time was 53.2, 60, and 68 seconds, the surgical anesthesia was 2.8, 5, and 5 minutes, and the total recovery time was 4.8, 5.4, and 3 minutes in G1, G2 and G3 respectivily. The RR, and HR were increased, and the RT was decreased. The muscle relaxation was mild, and the analgesia was moderate. In G4 after adding of xylazine and giving the anesthetic protocol by IV route, the induction time, the surgical anesthesia, and the total recovery time were become 50.6 seconds, 23 minutes, and 9.4 minutes respectively. The HR, RR, and RT were increased, the muscle relaxation, and analgesia were moderate. In G5 after increased the dose of ketamine and xylazine and giving the anesthetic protocol by IM route, the induction time, the surgical anesthesia, and the total recovery time were 5, 36, and 5.6 minutes respectively. The HR and RR were decreased, and the RT was increased. The muscle relaxation was deep for 10 minutes, and the analgesia was moderate for 10 minutes also. In G6 after doubling the ketamine, tramadol, and xylazine doses, and giving the anesthetic protocol by IM route. The induction time, the surgical anesthesia, and the total recovery time were 3.6, 73.4, and 7 minutes respectively. The HR started stable, then after 15 minutes decreased sharply, The RR was irregular, with apnea, the RT was increased, the muscle relaxation was deep for 35 minutes, and the analgesia was deep for 45 minutes. In conclusion the addition of tramadol and paracetamol to the ketamine anesthesia of sheep in low doses, improve the induction and recovery time of anesthesia, without increase the duration and depth of anesthesia. Adding of xylazine to the anesthetic protocols increase the duration and depth of anesthesia. The protocol of K10 T2 P10 X1 by the IM route is the best protocol dose among the six protocols used in this study.

In the present study, 50 out of 70 broiler chickens which have been collected from diseased chickens were exhibited lesions of fibrinous perihepatitis, fibrinous pericarditis and/or airsacculitis. Birds with these lesions were subjected for bacteriological examination. The examination revealed isolation of 23 E. coli isolates with incidence of 46%. Concerning the virulence factors , Congo red binding activity of these isolates reveled detection of 6 positive isolates with incidence of 26.08%. Serotyping showed that out of 6 Congo red positive strains, only 3 strains were serologically typed and were belonged to the serotype O78 : K80. Detection of pathogenic E. coli serotypes was confirmed by PCR technique with specific primers for fimA and fimH genes. All these 3 isolates of the serotype O78 : K80 were reacted with these 2 genes. Antimicrobial suscebtibility pattern displayed sensitivity of these isolates to Chloramphinicol and Gentamicin and their resistance to Amoxicillin, Erythromycin and Nalidixic acid. Experimental infection has been made with this isolate. Two groups of broiler chickens were used the first at one day old and the second at 5 weeks of age. Signs, lesions, histopathological changes were revealed that the first experiment was differed from the second through the presence of pus in the bursa of Fabricius, but hemorrhage in the lungs tissue occur in two experiments.

In the present study, white rats are used. Divided into five groups each group contain 12 rats; these group divided into the following manner : The first group - C, representing untreated group has been treated with normal saline only; the second group - L, representing the low dose which has received (5mg/kg B.W) of naproxen sodium, while the third group - I is the intermediate dose, which has received (10mg/kg B.W); the fourth group - H, representing the high dose, that has received (20mg/kg B.W), and finally the fifth group, representing the positive control group, has received(4mg/kg B.W of ketoprofen). The method of dosing these animals are by oral gavage which continues for three months. All the animal groups have been put in the same conditions of temperature and humidity. This study shows that the treatment with naproxen sodium has led to significant gradually increase in the body weight of both high dose and intermediate dose groups in early treatment period in comparison with the control group. In contrast, the animals which have received low dose of naproxen sodium show only minimal and gradual increase in their body weight in comparison with the intermediate and high dose. As well as there has been noticeable little increase and decrease in some value of liver and kidney enzymes concentrations(AST, ALT, ALK, Urea/Cr as treated with naproxen and positive control of ketoprofen). The study also showed that the treatment with naproxen sodium had led to clinical findings include uterine hemorrhage and still birth which specially occurs in the last period of pregnancy. Infections happen in some regions of body forming abscess in the subcutaneous tissue of neck, leg, cheek. The macroscopic findings include pallor of liver and Abscess of the liver and kidney, also there is increase in size of the spleen as a result of congestion of the splenic red pulp and minimal changes of the mucosa of the stomach. Moreover the microscopic findings include minimal hepatic periportal fibrosis , moderate diffuse vacuolation of hepatocytes, area of vacuolated degenerative centrilobular hepatocyte arround the central vein and subcapsular infiltration of inflammatory cells. There was necrosis of renal cortical tubules and atrophy of glommeruli, vacuolation of mesenchymal glomerulular cells , dilated vacuolated cortical tubules, some with degeneration and loss of epithelial in lumen and degenerative necrotic tubules. In addition there is degenerative and vacuolative changes of myocardial muscle cells, and atrophy of myocardial muscle cells; and there was an evidence of interstitial edema. as well as there is atrophy of white pulp lymphoid tissue and congested of red pulp, also there was increase cellularity of red pulp(present of macrophage cells in red pulp). Furthermore,the present study exposes that the treatment with naproxen sodium would lead to other histo - pathological changes in the stomach and small intestine include vacuolation of mucosal epithelial cells of the stomach and inflammatory cells in the serosa with noticeable presence of prominant ganglion cells in the outer zone of muscularis externa and degeneration of mucosal lining and mucosal glands in the lamina propria of stomach(glandular region). In addition there have been vacuolation and degeneration of mucosal epithelial lining of small intestine , ulceration of the mucosa in the small intestine , increase in length of the villi and infiltration of inflammatory cells in lamina properia and inflammatory cells in the serosa and vacuolation of muscularis externa. In the colon there is vacuolation (prominent mucous gland) and mix of inflammatory cells infiltration, vacuolation (increase mucous gland) and a few mononuclear cells in the lamina propria and there was increase minimal fibrosis.Either in the uterus there was thicken fibrotic lamina propria and few endometrial gland. Finally the pathological changes that have been found for high dose group of naproxen prove to be more severe than both the intermediate and low dose groups.

A total of 150 raw milk samples were collected from 150 animals belonged to three species involved (50) cows , (50) sheep and (50) goats selected randomly, ten animals per each species per regions. The results of a statistical analysis of the experimental data showed that : Chemical components of milk 1.There are a significant differences (p <0.05) in all contents of milk among different species of studied animals (cows , sheep and goats). Except fat content for cows and goats milk were not significant different. Sheep's milk had significantly (p<0.05) of (protein, fat, solids not - fat and ash) in comparison to cow's and goat's milk (7.535, 6.617, 12.026 and 0.646) % respectively. Cow's milk had significantly (p<0.05) higher lactose content (4.757%) than both sheep's and goat's milk. components of milk 2. PhysicalThe results revealed that there were significant differences (p <0.05) in all physical characteristics of milk among different species of animals involved in this study (cows, sheep and goats). Sheep milk had significantly (p<0.05) (Titratable Acidity 0.182% and conductivity 3.214 mS/cm) than both cow's and goat's milk , goat's milk contains the highest specific gravity 1.057mg /100 ml while the pH values of cow's , sheep's and goat's milk were similar. Heavy metals in milk - Effect of Species The results revealed that significant differences (P<0.05) among the mean values of heavy metal concentrations included in the study (Cadmium (Cd) , lead (Pb), Nikel (Ni), Arsenic (As) and Mercury (Hg) in milk of different species (cows , sheep and goats). Sheep's milk had significantly levels of such heavy metals (0.251, 0.801, 0.563, 0.283 and 0.124) mg/ l respectively than both cow's and goat's milk while cow's milk had significantly the lower levels (0.098, 0.311, 0.221, and 0.122 , 0.037) mg / l respectively. - Effect of regions : The results showed that significant differences (P<0.05) in the means values of heavy metal concentrations in milk among different regions. The Highest levels of heavy metals were observed in AL - Hamza district (0.184, 0.624, 0.494, 0.246 and 0.119) mg / l respectively and the lowest levels of heavy metals were noticed in Dagharah (0.144 , 0.507, 0.382 , 0.167 and 0.061) mg / l respectively. - Effect of month : The results of the statistical analysis showed that there were non - significant differences in the average concentrations of cadmium, lead and arsenic among months while a significant differences (P <0.05) were observed in the level of nikel between march and other studied months [(0.494) mg / l in march and (0.397, 0.418 and 0.415) mg / l for December, January and February respectively]. Also the results showed that there were a significant differences (P<0.05) in the levels of mercury between march and each of January and February [(0.106) mg / l in march and (0.081 and 0.083) mg / l in January and February respectively]. From the results obtained in the present study,it can be concluded that : 1 - Heavy metals like cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb), Nikel (Ni), Arsenic (As and Mercury (Hg) which distributed among different sites were exceed the maximum acceptable limits set by WHO and EPA. 2 - High concentration of heavy metals (Cd, Pb, Ni, As and Hg) in city center site may be due to the industrial activities. 3 - High concentration of heavy metals in the other sites may be due to application of waste water for agriculture purposes (irrigation) which pollute the soil and also be allowing toxic metals to enter in to the food chain posing a serious health hazard.

To evaluate the endocrine and the reproductive effects of endocrine disruptors chemicals and find the link between them in adult male rats. This study was done using two drugs : propylthiouracil (PTU) and flutamide (FLU) (anti - thyroid and anti - androgen agents) respectively, as a model of endocrine disruptors; to reveal their effects, they were used separately and in co - treatment manner for the first time using adult male rats (Rattus norvegicus) as animal models. For this purpose the study was divided into two experiments : The first experiment : forty adult male rats weighed (146 - 200) gm were divided into four equal groups (10 rats/group). The first group (control) was administered 0.3 ml/rat of distilled water, the second group was administered (PTU) (15mg/ kg B.W), the third group was administered (FLU) (37.5 mg/ kg B.W), and the fourth group was administered (PTU+ FLU) (15mg/kg + 37.5 mg/kg B.W ) respectively, in co - treatment dose. The treatments extended for 45 days; in the end of experiment the rats were euthanized and blood was collected and stored for hormonal and biochemical parameters and some of internal organs were weighed and kept in 10% formalin for histological examination. The results of the first experiment revealed the following : 1 - A significant decrease (P?0.05) in body weight gain in 2nd and 3rd periods (The animals were weighed four times in the begining of the experiment and every 15 days till the end of the experiment) in PTU and PTU+FLU treated groups.2 - A hypothyroidism state were induced after treatment with PTU and PTU+FLU by significant decrease (P?0.05) of Thyroxine (T4) and Triiodothyronine (T3) and significant increase (P?0.05) of TSH.3 - A significant decrease (P?0.05) in testosterone (T), Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH), and Luteinizing Hormone (LH) of PTU group while a significant increase (P?0.05) in T, FSH, and LH of FLU group. Moreover a significant decrease (P?0.05) in T and LH of PTU+FLU group occurred.4 - A significant increase (P?0.05) in Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST) and Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT) in all treatments, except in FLU no significant change has been observed in ALT. 5 - A significant increase (P?0.05) in total cholesterol, triglycerides, low density lipoprotein and very low density lipoprotein in all treatment, while, there was a significant decrease (P?0.05) in high density lipoprotein in all treatments as well.6 - A significant decrease (P?0.05) in serum glucose and a significant increase (P?0.05) in total protein in PTU and PTU+FLU groups, while, a significant decrease (P?0.05) in total protein of FLU group occurred.7 - A significant decrease (P?0.05) in sperm count of FLU and PTU+FLU groups. And a significant decrease (P?0.05) in individual motility in all treatments, while, a significant increase (P?0.05) in dead and abnormal sperm was observed in all treatments.8 - A significant increase (P?0.05) in thyroid relative weight of PTU and PTU+FLU groups and a significant increase (P?0.05) in liver relative weight in all treatments, while, a significant decrease (P?0.05) in kidney relative weight of PTU and PTU+FLU groups observed. Prostate relative weight significantly decrease (P?0.05) in FLU group and seminal vesicles relative weight significantly decrease (P?0.05) in FLU and PTU+FLU groups.9 - At the end of experiment six rats of each group was sacrificed and some of internal organs has been removed for histopathological examination and it was revealed changes as follows : 1 - Thyroid gland of PTU and PTU+FLU groups show increased number of different sizes of thyroid follicles with some vacuolation of colloid. Some follicles are misshaped. 2 - Testis of PTU group, most of seminiferous tubules are normal, a little number of them suffers from dilated lumen containing little number of spermatogonia and abnormal arrangement with degenerated Sertoli cells, little number of immature spermatid in the lumen, some vacuolation in the spermatogonia and edematous of interstitial tissue, FLU group shows clear degenerative changes in the Sertoli cells, there are few spermatogonia in some tubules and clear vacuolation in the cell with empty lumen (no spermatids). PTU+FLU group show most of the seminiferous tubules contain large number of spermatogonia but there are very thin irregular lining epitheliums, and nearly disappearance of interstitial tissue. 3 - Prostate of PTU group shows clear destructive changes in the lobules of the prostate. FLU group shows misshaped acini of the prostate lobules some of them are very enlarged and contain a large amount of secretion, others are empty with thickened irregular lining epithelium. Absence of inter acinar tissue, and PTU+FLU group show irregular shape of multiple number acini of the lobules of the prostate gland filled with shrinkage prostatic secretion. Moreover, the interstitial tissue between acini somewhat thickened with enlarged nuclei of many cells in addition to degeneration of others.4 - The liver of PTU group shows flattening of hepatocyte, clear enlargement of pyknotic nuclei and disarrangement of hepatic architecture, FLU show normal central vein, engorged with blood, disarrangement of hepatocyte architecture, and enlarged nuclei of hepatocyte. PTU+FLU show engorgement of central vein with clear flattening of hepatocyte containing enlarged nuclei.5 - The kidney of PTU group shows narrowing of lumen of renal tubules, engorgement of blood vessels, irregular sizes of glomeruli and different structure of their Bowman's capsule, FLU group shows a complete disappearance of Bowman's capsule of some glomeruli. Other glomeruli shows shrinkage and destructive changes of the content. The cuboidal epitheliums of the renal tubules shows some disarrangement of basement membrane with clear enlarged nuclei, and PTU+FLU group shows an irregular shape of renal tubules with absence of walls of the cuboidal lining epithelial cells with enlarged nuclei and shrinkage of Bowman's capsule of some glomerli. The second experiment : This experiment was carried out on 32 well experience female rats. They have been mated with 16 adult male rats which remained from the first experiment; they were divided into 4 groups : The first group : Untreated 8 female rats mated with 4 untreated male rats, the second group : Untreated 8 female rats mated with 4 treated male rats with PTU, the third group : Untreated 8 female rats mated with 4 treated male rats with FLU, the fourth group : Untreated 8 female rats mated with 4 cotreated male rats with PTU +FLU. The results of second experiment revealed a decrease in number of offspring as well as reduction in percentage of fertility and pregnancy rates.

المستخلص: The study was designed to assign the effectiveness of bone marrow and hyaluronic acid to repair of experimentally induced transected of the SDFT in donkeys by macroscopical, ultrasonical and histopathological evaluation.A total of 18 clinical healthy donkeys of both sexes with the age of 2 - 3 years weighting of 70 - 130 kg (mean ±SE, weight 97.77 ± 8.11 kg), were used for this study. The animals divided randomly into three equal groups (six animals/groups), the (group A) was used as a control group. The treatment groups were classified into and the bone marrow group (group B) and the hyaluronic acid group (group C) and the animals were generally anesthetized.In all animals of this study a mid - metacarpal linear skin incision was made in the palmer aspect of the left forelimb, the SDFT then was transected transversely and then the cut ends of the tendon were approximated by (0.2) Nylon suture and skin closure by using (0.2) silk suture. In group (B), two ml of bone marrow was applied to the sites of anastomoses tendon. In group (C), use a two ml of sodium hyaluronate on the sites of anastomoses tendon.Macroscopical examination showed adhesions between the tendon and surrounding tissues which were severe in the group (A) than in group (B) and lesser than that in group (C).Histopathological findings with the group (A) showed edematous fluid and collagen fiber in 30 days postoperatively and the presence of the edema and irregular collagen fiber were observed at day 60th. In group (B) showed a marked increase in neo blood vessels (angiogenesis) and collagen fiber in 30 days postoperatively and observed a moderate number of new blood vessels and collagen fibers at 60 days postoperatively.In group (C) demonstrated a numerate new blood vessels ,the collagen fiber and edema at 30 days postoperative and the prominent fibroblast at 60 days postoperative.Ultrasonographic examination for the tendons of the group (A), 30 days postoperatively showed the presence of marked fluid in SDFT with anechoic over the site of operation (dark area) while, 60 days postoperatively there is moderate fluid the SDFT appear as area of anechoic to hypo echoic.In tendons of group (B) in 30 days postoperatively notice the presence of lesion in a tendon, which appear as hypo echoic area with slower to demonstrate evidence of healing on ultrasound. In 60 days post operatively there is corresponding longitudinal fiber, alignment grade with hyper echoic appearance of operation area. In tendons of group (C) in 30 days postoperatively ultrasonography shows the presence of moderate fluid and the hypo echoic area within the SDFT. In 60 days postoperatively notice the presence of mild fluid in the site of operation that reflected as hypo echoic to hyper echoic area.The results of this study demonstrated the effectiveness of (Bone marrow) in acceleration the process of tendon healing and reducing fibrous adhesions that occur after the exposure of the tendon to injury compared to the (Hyaluronic acid), which has the same effect but to a lesser extent

المستخلص: هنالك علاقة وثيقة بين اعضاء عائلة عوامل نمو بيتا الانتقالية TGF - ? مع توجيه الاحداث المتعلقة بالتكاثر. اجريت الدراسة الحالية في قسم الفسلجة بكلية الطب البيطري في جامعة البصرة خلال المدة بين شهر نيسان، 2013 وكانون الثاني، 2014، لاختبار دور التمنيع ضد وحد | The present study, which has been carried out at the department of physiology, College of Veterinary Medicine, University of Basrah, during the peroid extended from April, 2013 to May, 2014, has been designed to examine the role of immunoneutralization of endogenous inhibin - ?, ?A, and ?B subunits on mammary gland growth and development in primiparous female Wister rats, by evaluating serum growth and differentiation hormones, expression levels of pituitary GH and PRL, and mammary GH - r and PRL - r genes, and immunohistochemical expression of pituitary somatotrophic and lactotrophic cells, and mammary GH and prolactin.Eighty four pregnant female rats were randomly divided into four groups (21 per each). On 5th and 10th day of gestation, control was injected with saline (100?l, i.p.), Ta group was injected with inhibin - ? antiserum (1µg in 100?l of saline, i.p.), Tba group, was injected with inhibin - ?A antiserum (1µg in 100?l of saline, i.p.), and Tbb group was injected with inhibin - ?B antiserum (1µg in 100?l of saline, i.p.). Each group was allocated to 3 equal subgroups : pregnancy, delivery, and lactation subgroups was sacrificed on the 16th day of gestation, on the 1st day after parturition, and the 11th day of lactation, respectively. Body weights of females have been monitored during pregnancy. At parturition and 11th day of lactation, litters weight have been recorded. At the end of each subgroups period, females were anesthetized, dissected and blood samples were obtained for assessment of inhibin - A, - B, activin - A , - B, - AB, GH, and prolactin levels. Pituitary and mammary glangs from each female were removed for evaluation of expression levels of GH, PRL, GH - r, and PRL - r genes using qRT - PCR technique and other samples for histophysiological and immunohistochemical study.The results demonstrate significant increase in cumulative dam weight in Tba group during pregnancy period starting from 8th of gestation compared with control, Ta, Tbb groups. Litters of Ta group at parturition, revealed siginificant higher weight compared with Tba group, and no siginificant difference compared with control and Tbb groups. Litter of Tba group recorded a highest siginificant weight gain among experimental groups.Serum inhibin - A in Tbb group during pregnancy, recorded higher level among experimental groups. During delivery, the higher significant level has been registered in control and Tbb groups. During lactation, no siginificant difference has been recorded between groups. In comparison between periods, the level in control during delivery showed the higher level compared with pregnancy and lactation periods, whereas Ta and Tba groups recorded no difference between periods, while Tbb group showed significantly higher level during pregnancy and decreased during delivery and lactation. Inhibin - B during pregnancy in control females recorded the highest level among the experimental groups. During delivery, higher levels have been recorded in control and Tba groups. At lactation, there is no siginificant difference between Ta, Tba, and Tbb groups but they were significantly higher than control. In comparison between periods, the concentration in control during pregnancy recorded higher level than other periods. Ta, Tba, and Tbb groups recorded no siginificant differences between pregnancy and delivery periods but they were significantly higher in lactation period.Activin - A concentration during pregnancy and delivery in Tbb was higher among experimental groups. During lactation, there is no difference between experimental groups. In comparison between periods, all groups showed higher levels at delivery. Activin - B during pregnancy and delivery in Tbb group recorded the lowest concentration. During lactation, no differences has been shown between groups. In comparison between periods, the levels in all groups was higher at lactation followed by pregnancy period and delivery periods. Activin - AB concentration in control and Ta groups were higher during pregnancy and delivery periods, while no siginificancy was recorded during lactation. In comparison between periods, all groups showed higher levels at lactation period followed by pregnancy and delivery periods.Serum GH in Ta group during pregnancy recorded higher level among groups During delivery, the higher level has been recorded in Ta and Tba groups. During lactation, the higher level has been recorded by Ta group among groups. In comparison between periods, the levels in all groups were higher at delivery followed by pregnancy and lactation. Serum prolactin during pregnant, delivery, and lactation showed no siginificant difference between experimental groups. In comparison between periods, the levels in all groups showed higher levels at delivery followed by lactation and pregnancy.Result of pituitary GH gene expression levels in Ta and Tba groups increased significantly compared with Tbb in all of studied periods.Result of pituitary PRL gene expression levels during pregnancy increased siginificantly in Tba group among experimental groups. During delivery, the fold changes in Ta and Tba groups showed no significant difference between each other, but they were significantly higher than Tbb group. At lactation period, there is no siginificant difference between groups.Result of mammary GH - r gene expression levels during pregnancy and delivery registered siginificant elevation in Ta, whereas lactation period showed no siginificant difference between groups. Mammary PRL - r gene expression levels during pregnancy was higher in Tbb group, whereas delivery and lactation showed siginificant elevation in Ta and Tba groups.Expression of pituitary somatotrophic cells during pregnancy showed significant higher score (number of positive stained cells and intensity of staining) in Ta group among the experimental groups. At delivery and lactation, scores of Ta and Tba groups, increased significantly. In comparison between periods, in all groups, higher score has been shown at delivery, whereas the lowest score recorded at lactation. Expression of pituitary lactotrophic cells during each periods showed no difference between groups. In comparison between periods, in all experimental groups, higher score of staining was recorded at delivery and lowest score recorded at pregnancy.Expression of mammary GH during pregnancy showed significant higher score in Ta group among the experimental groups. At delivery, the score of Ta group increased siginificantly. At lactation, Ta and Tbb groups registreted no siginificant difference between them, whereas they were siginificant higher than control and Tba groups. In comparison between periods, in all groups, higher scores have been shown at parturition and the lowest at lactation. Expression of mammary PRL during pregnancy and lactation revealed no siginificant difference between experimental groups. In comparison between periods, in all experimental groups, higher score of staining has been shown at delivery, whereas the lowest score recorded at pregnancy.Histological findings in treated groups, pituitary sections reveals progress in the morphological appearance of secretory cells which appeared larger and contains profuse cytoplasmic secretory granules. Ta females reveals more proliferation and cytoplasmic secretory granules. These differences continued at delivery and retarded at lactation. Mammary glands of treated groups at pregnancy showed marked development in alveolar morphogenesis. At delivery, Ta and Tbb females showed high number of lobules and alveoli. Lactation period showed well - developed vacuolated epithelial cells.In conclusion, passive immunization against inhibin - ?, ?A, subunits but not ?B subunit, at 5th and 10th day of pregnancy, have potent role in mammary gland growth and development in primiparous female Wister rats.

المستخلص: In order to detection of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in food - chain especially from Cows raw milk and soft cheese with its whey, this study was designed in some regions of Baghdad (College of Veterinary Medicine, Abu - Ghraib, Al - Sadrya & Al - Radwaniyah), in which a standard isolation methods were used with some modification processing by new, modern and rapid technology tools such as chromogenic medium CNP agar and Electronic rapid Microbact TM 24E panel identification system supported by standard color differential chart and online American Type Culture Collection (ATCC) Codes; aids in rapid and precise identification, differentiation, confirmation and enumeration of P. aeruginosa isolates from raw dairy samples; as well as, detection of biofilm producing versatile morphotypes with chameleon phenomenon and fruity odour; and demonstration the activity of food spoilage enzymes (protease, lipase & lecithinase) of isolates with thermo - stability and viability in different temperatures with bitty cream and ropy fermentation phenomenon. The results profile showed : 1. Isolation of 46 (76.7%) isolate of P. aeruginosa from a total of 60 Cow Dairy samples : 30 Raw Milk samples (pooled from milk cans and apparently healthy Cows with a history of mastitis cases) as 19 (31.7%) isolates from regions of College of Veterinary Medicine, Abu - Ghraib and Al - Sadrya (10 from each region); and 30 Soft Cheese with its Whey samples (pooled from unhygienic processed cheese and containers in unclean dirty environment and apparently carrier or diseased workers) as 27 (45%) isolates from regions of Abu - Ghraib, Al - Sadrya and Al - Radwaniyah (10 from each region). Isolation percentages of oxidase positive P. aeruginosa from selected Regions in Baghdad Province indicates significant differences among regions at a level (P?0.05), in which highest isolation percent of P. aeruginosa from Abu - Ghraib as 20 (33.4%) isolates (10 isolates from raw milk and 10 isolates from soft cheese) in accordance to 17 (28.4%) isolates from Al - Sadrya (9 isolates from raw milk and 8 isolates from soft cheese), 9 (15%)SUMMARYisolates from Al - Radwaniyah (9 isolates from soft cheese) without any isolate from College of Veterinary Medicine, which may indicate good hygienic measurements.2. Segregation of isolates into two Haemolytic Patterns : Livestock type origin, lysis only sheep blood (L - type) as 19 (41.30%) isolates from raw milk samples; and Zoonotic type lysis, both blood (Z - type) as 27 (58.70%) isolates from soft cheese with its whey as high prevalence due to critical processing chain, risky carrier individuals and contaminated environment or polluted water supply. This may indicate indirectly genetic diversity and host or cross individual tropism in haemolysins - phospholipases activity according to different types of samples, regions and hosts.3. The study revealed isolation and segregation of versatile morphotypes and five pigments with fruity odor (Chameleon phenomenon) with mucoid drippy due to alginate or small colonial variants smooth or rough or both especially in isolate code M7 from mastitic milk and isolate code C27 from contaminated soft cheese and its whey. Wrinkled - Corroded green morphotypes were more evident in blood agar due to secretion of siderophore pyoverdine in order to chelating iron for activation of isolate. Motility Pattern with TTC salts was evident in all isolates with three types of motility : swarming, swimming and twitching, that noticed obviously in M7 isolate.4. New technology biochemical identification panel system (Microbact TM 24E) confirm that isolates were P. aeruginosa at level (P?0.01) after online matching with standard Remel ATCC Octalcodes bank of P. aeruginosa, in which 5 octalcodes typical and atypical were documented, that indicate genetic diversity in biochemical reactions of isolates and their morphotypes, modified microbial gene sharing protocol of P. aeruginosa with other bacteria and highly Sensitivity and Specificity of the test panel.SUMMARY5. Detection and isolation of Biofilm producing isolates by five methods, in which microtiter plate assay was the most sensitive and realizable technique while Congo red agar test detect quantity and type of biofilm production through colour of colonies (black very strong and huge, gray strong, pink moderate and white fair or non - producer). Biofilm produced in most morphotypes with pellicles at liquid interphase and ropy viscous threads (sliminess) and bitty cream especially in isolate codes M7 and C27. Small colonial variants of some morphotypes can revert to mucoid drippy variants. M7 showed unusual ropy thread of 30 cm long.6. The results showed secretion of thermo and psychro stable and labile food spoilage enzymes (protease, lipase and lecithinase) from isolates, in which versatile morphotypes showed indirectly diverse genetic ability, this may indicate variation of thermal tolerance mechanisms (heat shock proteins and biofilms formation) in isolates in accordance to time and temperature of processing, that linked genetically with the quorum sense mechanisms of acyl homoserine lactone gene regulatory region (AHL) in P. aeruginosa isolates (Stress Hardening phenomenon).7. The results showed the genetic ability (indirectly) of some isolates to resist, tolerate and proliferate in acidic environment at pH 2 & 4 especially isolate M7 & C27, while intermediate to susceptible tolerance of pH were noticed in others. This may indicate the power of electromagnetic charged net field of complex polymeric matrix of alginate exopolysaccharide layers in protecting some isolates from adverse acidic environment due to quorum sensing behavior of M7 & C27.Therefore, it could be concluded from this study that P. aeruginosa was prevalent in food chain especially from Cows raw milk and soft cheese with its whey samples from some regions in Baghdad, and Biofilm producing isolates with their thermo and psychro stable enzymes complex system and their tolerance to acidic environment stressors were more dangerous thus, we recommend monitoring these products periodically for insurance of public health.

المستخلص: اجريت الدراسة الحاليه خلال الفترة من تشرين الاول 2013 الى ايار 2014 في محافظة واسط للكشف عن الاصابة T. gondii في الانسان والاغنام باستخدام الطرق الجزيئية والمصلية. تم جمع خمس مئة وثمانية عينات 500 عينه دم و8عينات من انسجه المشائم و305 عينه 300عينه دم و5ع | The present study was conducted during the period from October 2013 to May 2014 in Wasit province to detect the infection of T. gondii in women and sheep using Molecular and Serological methods.Five hundred and eight samples 500 blood samples and 8placenta and 305samples 300 blood samples and 5placenta were collected from both suspected women and sheep respectively. The sera samples were separated and examined by ELISA for human and Latex agglutination test for sheep to detect the infection with T. gondii serologically, then many blood and placental tissue samples (89 blood samples and 8 placental tissue samples for women, whereas 100 blood samples and 5 placental tissue samples for ewes) were subjected to polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique to detect the infection molecularly.The Serological results showed that 17.8% of women were positive for the private screening ELISA detects toxoplasmosis (17 % with chronic infection and 0.8% with acute infection), it was noted that the highest rate of infection was in women who ranged in age between 20 - 29 years, reaching 19.9%, but with no significant difference (P>0.05) between the ages studied. On the other hand the rate of sheep infection by latex agglutination test with 2 - mercaptoethanol amounted to 33.33% (31.33% with chronic infection and 2% with acute infection) and most positive cases were among the ages which were equal to or more than 3 years (?3 years) with significant difference (P<0.05) between these ages. The present study indicated a lack of months effect on the distribution of parasite infection rates where these different months recorded relatively close rate ranged between 14.45% - 23.07% in women and 31.42% - 35.97% in sheep with no significant difference (P>0.05).Regarding to polymerase chain reaction test, a fragment of 399bp was amplified from B1 gene, the result showed that 6.74% and 4% of blood samples and 100% and 80% of placental tissue samples which taken from women and sheep respectively were positive to this test.

المستخلص: يعد مرض النيوكاسل من اخطر الامراض الفيروسية المعدية التي تصيب قطعان الدواجن وتسبب خسائر اقتصادية كبيرة في صناعة الدواجن واول تسجيل لمرض النيوكاسل كمرض مشترك بين الانسان والحيوان كان من قبل العالمBurnet في سنة 1943. والهدف من الدراسة هو عزل وتحليل تسل | Newcastle disease is considered to be the most contagious poultry disease and may cause severe economic loss in the poultry industry. The first report in which Newcastle disease virus (NDV) was consider as zoonotic disease and a human pathogen that was published by Burnet, in 1943. The aim of this study was to isolate and determination of nucleotide sequence of the Hemagglutinin - neuraminidase gene (HN) of two NDV Iraqi virulent isolates. These isolates were named as Najaf isolate (Najaf APMV1/ Chicken/ Iraq - Najaf/ ICCMGR/2012) and Baghdad isolate (Baghdad ICCMGR). This work was conducted in Iraq for the first time, the reason behind it was to correlate phylogenetically between these two isolates and the NDV strains in the countries of the region. This will help in determining the source of NDV outbreaks occurred in Iraq. Both Najaf and Baghdad isolates were propagated in embryonated chicken eggs, after inoculation of 11 days embryonated chicken eggs was showed and embryos were killed in different times (more than 40 hours and less than 72 hours). To assess the activity of both virus isolates, the main features of the infected embryos that reflect characteristics of congestion and sever hemorrhage was compared with control one. Hemorrhage was markedly severed in the infected embryos and it was similar in its severity by both isolates. The allantoic fluid was harvested post infection and the agglutination activity reflected titer of 1024 for Najaf isolate and 512 for Baghdad isolate. In order to isolate the Hemagglutinin - neuraminidase gene (HN) from both Najaf and Baghdad NDV isolates, specific primers for this gene were designed. After viral RNA purification, one - step reverse transcriptase - PCR was undertaken to amplify the NH gene and isolated it from the gel. Nucleotide sequence of the isolated NH gene from both virus isolates was determined. The purpose was to focus on molecular and phylogenetic analysis of the hemagglutinin - neuraminidase (HN) gene in both Iraqi isolates. The resulted nucleotide sequence of 647 nucleotides of the HN gene for both isolate were submitted to the GenBank database under the accession numbers KJ632972. To determine the origin of both Iraqi virulent isolates, HN gene sequence of both isolates was aligned with sequences of NDV isolates previously published in GenBank. The resulted alignment was then analyzed in terms of phylogenetic relation and variation. phylogenetic analysis of the isolated virus showed that both Iraqi isolates share significant similarity with 14 other international stains. Two strains of India origin and 12 was China isolates. The identity percentage was 99% - 100% with clustered group. Interestingly, Iraqi isolate was different from the neighbor countries such as Iran, and other Middle East countries. These results may indicate that certain migratory birds might have contributed to the distribution of NDV in Iraq. However imported infected beards from south East Asia may contribute to the current NDV outbreaks caused by foreign strain.
