المستخلص: تضمنت هذه الدراسة استخدام المستخلصات المائية لبذور الحرمل بالتراكيز 10، 20، 30 مليغرام/مليليتر، ومخاريط السرو بالتراكيز50 ،100، 200مليغرام/مليليتر. اما المستخلصات الكحولية لبذور الحرمل ومخاريط السروكانت التراكيز1،2 ،3 مليغرام/مليليتر و50، 100، 200 مليغرام/مليليتر على التوالي بينما الخليط المائي لبذور الحرمل ومخاريط السروكانت التراكيز(10+50)، (20+100) و(30+200) مليغرام/مليليتر، اما تراكيز الخلط الكحولي للنباتين(1+50)،(2+100) و(3+200) مليغرام/مليليتر؛ وذلك لدراسة تاثيرها في حيوية الرؤيسات الاولية لطفيلي المشوكات الحبيبية Echinococcus granulosus في الزجاجIn vitro من اجل الوصول الى التركيزالفعال في قتل الرؤيسات خلال اقصرمدة زمنية ممكنة لحقنه داخل التجويف البريتوني للفئران البيض سلالة Balb/c في الجسم الحي In vivo انخفضت الحيوية عند استخدام المستخلص المائي لبذور الحرمل ومخاريط السرووالخلط المائي لهما فحصل القتل التام للرؤيسات الاولية عند التراكيز 30، 200 و( 30+200)مليغرام/مليليتر في الزمن 30 دقيقة على التوالي. بينما تميزت المستخلصات الكحولية لبذور الحرمل ومخاريط السرو والخلط الكحولي لهما بالقتل التام للرؤيسات في الزمن صفر دقيقة عند التراكيز 3، 200 و(3+200) مليغرام/مليليتر على التوالي . وبعد اختيار التراكيز الفعالة تم تجريبها في الفئران البيض المحقونة بالرؤيسات الاولية وقياسها بالسيطرة الموجبة المحقونة بالرؤيسات وغير المعاملة بالمستخلصات النباتية والخلط والبندازول، وبالسيطرة السالبة المحقونة بالمحلول الملحي الطبيعي Normal saline من اجل بيان تاثير المستخلصات النباتية والخلط المائي والكحولي والبندازول داخل الجسم الحي عن طريق دراسة التغيرات الحاصلة في معدل اعداد واوزان واقطار الاكياس العدرية والنسب المئوية لاختزالها في الجسم ؛ اذ تبين حدوث اختزال بنسبة 100% في المجاميع اجمع قياسا بالسيطرة الموجبة غير المعاملة اذ لم يلاحظ وجود الاكياس العدرية الثانوية في المجاميع المعاملة جميعها.وتم دراسة التغيرات الحاصلة في معدلات اوزان الكبد والطحال ومعدلات تضخمهما في المجاميع المعاملة بالمستخلصات النباتية المائية والكحولية والخلط المائي والكحولي والبندازول. وقد لوحظ حدوث تباين في المعدلات اذ كانت منخفضة عن السيطرة الموجبة والافضلية كانت لمجموعة الخلط الكحولي لبذور الحرمل ومخاريط السرو اذ اقتربت من السيطرة السالبة . وشملت هذه الدراسة ايضا معرفة تاثير هذه المستخلصات والبندازول في نسيج الكبد والطحال عن طريق دراسة التغيرات النسيجية لهما اذ حصل في الكبد تغيرات عديدة منها تغيرات في شكل الخلايا الكبدية، وزيادة في اعداد خلايا كفر الدفاعية في الفئران المعاملة التي كانت اقل مما ظهر في فئران السيطرة الموجبة، اما الطحال فاظهر توسعا في اللب الابيض وظهور الخلايا المكونة للصفيحات الدموية (Megakaryocytes) في الفئران المعاملة قياسا بالسيطرة السالبة وكانت هذه التغيرات اقل حدة في الفئران المعاملة بالخلط المائي والكحولي لبذورالحرمل ومخاريط السرو؛ لذلك فان نتائج التغيرات تبين امكانية استخدام الخلط المائي والكحولي للنباتين وبالتراكيز (30+50) و(1+50) مليغرام/مليليترعلى التوالي داخل الجسم الحي بطريقة امنة عن طريق قدرتها على تحفيز الجهاز المناعي وتوهين الرؤيسات الذي ادى الى منع تطورها الى اكياس عدرية ثانوية داخل الجسم الحي دون اثار جانبية سلبية قياسا ببقية العقاقير الكيميائية مما يؤهلها للتقليل من المضاعفات الحاصلة في العمليات الجراحية . كما تم دراسة الجرعة المميتة لهذه المستخلصات والخلط للاستفادة منها عند حقن الحيوانات فكانت الجرعة المميتة لكلا الحيوانات المحقونة بالمستخلص المائي والكحولي لبذور الحرمل 2.5 غرام/كيلوغرام؛ بينما كانت الجرعة المميتة للمستخلص المائي والكحولي لمخاريط السرو 5.18، 3.63 غرام/كيلوغرام على التوالي وكانت قيمة الجرعة المميتة للخلط المائي والكحولي للنباتين 6.7، 3.3 غرام/كيلوغرام على التوالي . وباجراء التحليل الاولي للكشف عن المجاميع الفعالة في المستخلصات المائية والكحولية لبذور الحرمل ومخاريط السرو تبين احتواء المستخلص المائي والكحولي لبذور الحرمل على القلويدات والكلايكوسيدات والصابونينات والفلافونيدات، بينما احتوى المستخلص الكحولي للنبات على الراتنجات فضلا عن المواد السابقة في المستخلص المائي. اما المستخلص المائي والكحولي لمخاريط السرو احتوى على الفينولات ،والتانينات ، والصابونينات، والفلافونيدات ،والكلايكوسيدات، والزيوت الطيارة، والتربينات، والستيرويدات ولم يحتو على القلويدات، ووجدت الراتنجات في المستخلص الكحولي لمخاريط نبات السرو. | This study included the using of the aquatic extracts for the seeds of

Also a mixture of aquatic extract of Punica granatum Pericarp in concentration of (50,100) mg/ml, and (100, 200) mg/ml concentrate of the aquatic extract of Capparis spinosa Fruit . And a similar mixture was prepared for the alcoholic extracts in similar concentrations. A test was performed for the efficiency of each of the prepared extracts, in attenuation of protoscolices Echinococcus granulosus. Batch,1786 which were isolated from hydatid cysts of liver in sheep In vitro to determine the optimum concentration to kill the protoscolices, where the test is then to be performed by injecting the protoscolices intraperitonealy in white mice In vivo. Actually the vitality of protoscolices had dropped drastically with the application of aquatic extracts of Punica granatum Pericarp at the concentrations of (200 , 300) mg/ml, and aquatic extracts of Capparis spinosa Fruit at the concentration of (200 , 300) mg/ml, and the mixture of both the aquatic extracts at the concentration (100+200) mg/ml, where complete death was achieved at times, 90 , 45 , 90 , 60 , 60 minutes respectively. Alcoholic extracts of Punica granatum Pericarp and Capparis spinosa Fruit , and their mixture showed complete killing of Protoscolices at the time 30 , 30 , 60 minute in concentrations of {300 & (100+200)} mg/ml.Before performing the test In vivo, we determined the average lethal doses which were 9.41 , 10.7 , 8.1 , 10 , 8.8 , 11.3 g/ kg for the aquatic extract of Punica granatum, Capparis spinosa, their Alcoholic extracts, the aquatic mixture, and the alcoholic mixture respectively. Thus, the extracts in such concentrations could be considered as safe and low poisoning . The study included testing and application of the best concentration for treatment of the white mice that were injected with protoscolices, a negative group were injected with normal saline to determine the effect of extracts In vivo. The study measured, also the changes in average numbers, weights, dimensions, and percentage of reduction of hydatid cysts In vivo. Where it showed a decrease in the average number, weight, factors of its distension of the secondary hydatid cysts which developed in mice treated with the aquatic extracts of Punica granatum , Capparis spinosa, and increase of percentage of reduction compared with the positive control group, where a 100% reduction of hydatid cysts was achieved in the treated groups.Changes in liver and spleen weights, and average of hypertrophy showed some variations. Where average of weights and hypertrophy of liver of mice treated with aquatic extracts of Punica granatum , Capparis spinosa were similar to those of the positive group. A significant drop in these averages was observed in other groups. Best results were observed in groups treated with the alcoholic mixture, as well as in those treated with the alcoholic extract of Punica granatum, where the changes were close to those of the negative group. The study included observation of the effect of treatment with the above mentioned extracts and with Albendazole, on tissue changes of liver and spleen. Where liver showed significant changes, most important of which were the changes of the liver cell and increase in the number of the kupffer cell as a defensive mechanism, which were much less than their rate in the positive control group. On the other hand, spleen showed dilation of the white pulp and the appearance of cells composing of the Hemic platelet (megakaryocytic cells) in processed mice compared with unprocessed negative control group. These tissue changes were less persistent in groups processed with the alcoholic mixture of Punica granatum and Capparis spinosa and groups processed with the mixture of alcoholic extracts. By performing physiochemical analyses for the extracts to specify their effective compounds, we came to conclude that the aquatic and alcoholic extracts of Pericarp Punica granatum contain Alkaloids ,Flavonoids ,Glycosides, Phenols, Terpenoids, Tannins, and Steroids. whereas the alcoholic extracts in addition to these compounds, contain resins. whereas the aquatic extract of carp Capparis spinosa contain Alkaloids, Flavonoids, Glycosides, Terpenoids. Alcoholic extract of fruit Capparis spinosa contains in addition to these compounds ,tannin

المستخلص: The Fibroblast associated (Fas) system in the testes has been identified as a key regulator of apoptosis, a process that greatly influences the germ cell population of the testes. and the soluble Fas Ligand (sFasL) may be a competitive inhibitor to induce apopto¬sis of the Fas baring cells. Therefore, this study measures the level of sFasL in the semen of oligozoospermic men evaluating the association between seminal plasma sFasL and spermatogenesis.A total 58 oligozoospermic men and 29 normozoospermic volunteers were included in this study. They were attending the Infertility Clinic of the High Institute of Infertility Diagnosis and Assisted Reproductive Technologies, AL - Nahrain University\ Baghdad. Their age mean was 31.77± 5.48 years and a median of 30 years. Semen samples were evaluated according to World Health Organization 2010 standard parameters. The Seminal plasma was separated from the cellular elements after centrifugation and the supernatant was transferred to plane tubes and frozen at - 20 ?C till using for measurement of sFasL. These patients were classified into patients with severe oligozoospermia (sperm concentration ?5 million / ml) which include 29 patients, and patients with mild and moderate oligozoospermia (sperm concentration ranging between 5 - 15 million / ml) which includes 29 patients as well. The control group comprised of 29 men with normospermic parameters according to WHO 2010 standard (Normal volunteers). The sFasL was measured using ELISA enzyme immunoassay for quantitative determination of sFasL Kit. Data were analyzed statistically using Analysis of variance (ANOVA), Least Significant Difference (LSD) and Correlation Coefficient (r).The sFasL level was found significantly higher (P< 0.01) in seminal plasma of oligozoospermic men, with weak correlation of the level of sFasL with the degree of severity of oligozoospermia. Based on the results of this study, it was concluded that sFasL is a novel marker found in the seminal plasma of oligozoospermic men. It's level was higher in cases of oligozoospermia regardless of its severity.

المستخلص: Hepatitis E Virus (HEV) infection is found worldwide. It is responsible for large outbreaks in East and South Asia. This study was carried out to identify the distribution of acute HEV infection in AlMuthanna province and then determine the genotypes responsible for the disease spreading. This is the first investigation about the occurrence of hepatitis E genotypes in Al - Muthanna province patients. The study included 270 jaundiced patients of both sexes From AlMuthanna province which included out patients in public health laboratory in Samawah city, for the period from October 2013 to June 2014. All these patients were tested for anti - HEV IgM antibodies by using enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). In Al - Muthanna province, 72 patients (26.66 %) out of 270 patients showed positive results for anti - HEV IgM antibodies, and all those patients were tested for confirmatory test at central public health laboratories (CPHL) in Baghdad province. Those patients consist of 45 females and 27 males with age ranged between (4 - 74) years old, were all negative for routinely screened markers of Hepatitis A, Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C, Ten normal healthy individuals, used as normal control in this study. This study showed that the HEV IgM is more common among younger age group (15 - 24), with a percentage of) 41.67%(, and it was higher in females (63%) than in males (37%). Highly significant differences (p ? 0.01) appeared among age groups. The levels of liver function enzymes demonstrated significant differences (p ? 0.05) in HEV patients as compared with healthy controls. The levels of Total Serum Bilirubin (TSB) were (23.41 ± 12.38) mg/dl, Serum Aspartate transaminase (SAST) were (887.17 ± 9.87) U/l, Serum Alanine transaminase (SALT) were (859.91 ± 13.28) U/l, and the levels of Serum Alkaline phosphatase (SALP) were (206.56 ± 5.04) U/l higher than healthy controls (0.884 ± 0.05) mg/dl, (37.27 ± 4.58) U/l, (34.14 ± 7.63) U/l, (48.09 ± 15.42) U/l respectively. RNA was extracted from sera of positive anti - HEV IgM antibodies by using a QIAamp® Viral RNA Mini Kit. Nanodrop and Quantus™ Fluorometer instruments were used to determine the RNA yield and purity according to the standard kit protocol. High levels of RNA concentration were measured by Nanodrop and Quantus™ Fluorometer. Forty - six samples have high RNA concentration out of 72 samples were detected for genotypes I, III & IV by using Applied Biosystems Real time PCR 7500 machine. In this study, HEV type I and III were detected in 23 samples out of 46 samples by using Real Time PCR systems. Ten samples were positive for this test. Thirteen samples (56.52%) were negative for this test. The distribution percentage of genotypes I and III was (43.48%). The results appeared significant difference (P ? 0.05). Also by using the same technique (Real time PCR systems) the HEV type IV was detected in 23 samples out of 46 samples. Which included, 13 samples that recorded negative results by I & III genotypes kit and only 2 samples from it recorded positive results and 11 samples recorded negative result for HEV genotype IV. From other 10 samples, only 3 samples recorded positive result and 7 samples recorded negative result for HEV genotype IV. In a total, 5 samples were positive for HEV genotype IV and 18 samples (78.26%) were negative. So that the distribution percentage of genotype IV was (21.74%). In this study, the samples that showed negative results in both kits have not been tested for other genotypes. This study indicated that the acute HEV infection is highly endemic in Al - Muthanna province in Iraq. Genotypes I & III were the most distribution than genotype IV in patients from Al - Muthanna province in Iraq. These results suggest that the genotypes I & III are the main causative agents of sporadic HEV infection in Al - Muthanna province

المستخلص: Between September and November 2013 a total of 140 urine specimens obtained from patients in Al - Kadhmiah Teaching Hospital, Ibn - Al Naffees Teaching Hospital, and Educational Laboratories in Medical city. These midstream urine specimens were obtained from patients clinically suspected to have urinary tract infection (UTI) in sterilized containers. All specimens were processed immediately after collection.A total number of 140 specimens of mid - stream urine were collected from patients suffering urinary tract infection symptoms. These isolates were obtained from 41 male and 99 female patients. They were distributed in the age group of 5 - 60 years old. All specimens were identified using biochemical tests and API 20 E system. 60 (42.85%) of urine specimens was Escherichia coli and 15(10.71%) of specimens growth was Klebsiella spp. and 25(17.85%) growth was Proteus spp. and 40 (28.57%) was G+ve bacteria.The adherence ability of E.coli isolates were evaluated by using Congo red agar and detected their ability to produce biofilm by using methylene blue staining technique in polystyrene microtiter plates and then Optical density was determined at 580 nm.All sixty isolates of E.coli were grown on Congo red agar medium to detect their adherence ability. Twenty (33.3%) isolates were given negative result by forming pink colonies on congo red agar, were as, forty (66.6%) isolates were given positive result by forming black colonies with a dry crystalline. Three isolates give strong results E.coli (13, 8, and 40). Consistency indicated biofilm production by microtiter plate. E. coli 40 which isolated produced the thickest biofilm (O.D. : =3.17).Type 1 fimbriae expression by E.coli 40 isolate was detected by mannose - resistant hemagglutination (MRHA) of human blood group (O) IRBCs in the presence of 2% D - mannose. The isolate showed strong MRHA characteristics of type 1 fimbriae under microscope (40x). The E.coli E.40isolate which produced the thickest biofilm and gave strong MRHA was elected to be the source of type 1 fimbriae.Type 1 fimbriae was extracted by heating and mechanical shearing and partially purified by Ultracentrifugation (48, 000xg for 3hrs). SDS - PAGE with a molecular weight 20, 000 Dalton.Anti - type1 fimbriae antisera were prepared in rabbits. The specificity and titration of anti - type1fimbriae antibodies were determined using IgG protein by radial immunodiffusion plate and bacterial agglutination. IgG antibodies to fimbriae type 1 were also detected in rabbit sera from immunized rabbit and non - immunized. Immunized rabbit test 1 had increases in Fim1 - specific IgG antibodies (9.5) mg/dl. Immunized rabbit test 2 had increases in Fim1 - specific IgG antibodies (8.6) mg/dl. The non - immunized rabbit had no increase in absolute IgG antibodies to Fim1.The antisera agglutinated bacterial cells up to 1/80 dilution confirming the presence and titer of specific antibodies against type1 fimbriae.The microtiter plate method was applied to estimate the role of the prepared anti - type1fimbriae antibodies in reducing the biofilim formation by E.coli. Prevention of bacterial adherence and subsequent biofilm formation to polystyrene microtiter plate was studied by employing different dilutions (1/10, 1/20, 1/40, 1/80, 1/160, 1/320, 1/640) of rabbit sera containing anti - type 1 fimbriae antibodies. The maximum inhibition of biofilm formation in terms of optical density (580 nm) was found in lowest dilution (1/10) (highest concentration of Abs). However, the minimum inhibition was observed in highest dilution of rabbit antisera (1/640) (lowest concentration of Abs). Here the inhibition occurs in a dose dependent manner as the biofilm formation increased dramatically with increasing in antisera dilution. The results also showed that there is a significant difference(P<0.05) among data treated with sera and data without sera and among serial dilutions.General urine examination and culture for urine that absorbed from test 2 and control was done (GUE) show that pus cell in urine was (1 - 2/HPF). There was no growth of bacteria in urine culture.The Histological section show that the Control and test 1 rabbit (have been immunized with fimbriae and adjuvant and injected with E.coli intra muscular) and Test 2rabbit (that has been immunized with fimbriae and adjuvant and injected with E.coli directly in bladder has normal epithelial cells and mucosa.

Entamoeba samples were diagnosed by using two methods : the first one is the wet mount as a General Stool Examination(GSE) after macroscopic examination for sample and classifying them according to their consistency (solid, semisolid and liquid) and color (brown and yellow) and presence of blood and mucous in addition to diagnosing them microscopically to detect the presence of pus cells and both phases trophozoite and cyst for Entamoeba histolytica.While the second method that was depended in diagnosis is duplex polymerase chain reaction (dPCR) by using two pairs of genes for detection of their amplification in DNA sample isolated from stool. The first pair is cystein proteinase which represents one of virulent factors in Entamoeba histolytica parasite as a tissue invader. The second pair encodes the surface antigen present on the surfaces of both parasites E. histolytica and E. dispar. It is represented by Actin gene (Act). The results of the wet mount showed that in percentage of infection of both species (E.histolytica/E.dispar) the (54%) of patient symptom and (34.37%) patient a symptom.While results of the specificity and sensitivity showed that in positive sample wet mount negative PCR while negative sample wet mount showed that positive PCR and higher percentage of infection the Entamoeba dispar. While the results of the dPCR showed that in spite of the presence of both species Entamoeba pathogenic (Entamoeba histolytica) and non pathogenic Entamoeba (Entamoeba dispar) , the percentage of infection of Entamoeba histolytica was lower than that of Entamoeba dispar. This was clear by the detection of amplification the Reaction producets (dPCR) by using both genes : Actin &Ehcp5 where only 8 samples were detected and they were found to be positive amplification Ehcp5 and 31 samples were positive amplification in both groups of patients (symptomatic and a symptomatic). The percentage of infection in females was higher than that in males for all ages when using both tests (wet mount & PCR). More over the patients with less than (10) years old had higher percentage of infection in both sexes.In conclusion, it should not be depended on direct wet mount technique for the identification of infected parasite Entamoeba histolytica and differentiating it from Entamoeba dispar because of their high homology. That the molecular examination is the only method that is able to determine the kind of infection with parasite Entamoeba

المستخلص: SDS - PAGE showed that a single sharp band with an approximately 16.8 KDa molecular weight has been seen. A matter indicates that the enzyme is consistently pure. PCR technique was applied to approve the existence of nuc gene in S.aureus Nevertheless, only those which depicted positive results on DNase agar harboured nuc gene, as it is specified by single band appearance of nuc at assumed molecular weight (ca. 255 pb) of marker that being used. The current study findings highlighted the participation of SNase purified from S. aureus in significant (P< 0.05) preventing biofilm formation by E. coli and K. pneumoniae compared with untreated controls. Evidently, the inhibitory effect of SNase on biofilm formation is undoubtedly perceived, indicating the degradation of the structural major component of biofilm formation (i.e. extracellular DNA). Results revealed that SNase was able to significantly (P< 0.05) reduce the number of the uropathogens; E. coli and K. pneumoniae attached to the uroepithelial cells. 1 Chapter one : Introduction and literature Review 1. Introduction and Literature Review 1.1. Introduction Staphylococcus aureus is a persistent human pathogen that is responsible for a range of diseases that vary widely in clinical presentation and severity. The pathogenesis of S. aureus infection is a complex process involving a diverse array of secreted and surface - associated virulence determinants that are coordinately expressed at different stages of infection (Loughman et al., 2009). Escherichia coli is a genetically diverse species that causes a variety of infections which fulfill many or all of the proposed criteria for biofilmassociated infections (Kaper et al., 2004). Klebsiella pneumoniae is an opportunistic pathogen responsible for a wide range of nosocomial infections. One important factor associated with virulence in K. pneumoniae is its capacity to adhere to surfaces and form biofilms (Cruz et al., 2012). Bacteria often exist as sessile communities called biofilms which are exquisite structures caused by a genetically programmed developmental process. It is estimated that biofilms are involved in 65% of human bacterial infections, since cells in biofilms are 1000 times more resistant than cells in the planktonic state, making medical treatments fail (Shal? et al., 2011). Extracellular DNA (eDNA) plays a significant role in biofilm formation, as revealed by studies in several bacteria including E. coli (Nakao, 2012) and K. pneumoniae (Whitchurch et al., 2002); however, there is no definite proof on a cause - and - effect relationship between DNA release and biofilm formation (Beenken et al., 2012) or becomes a key component of the macromolecular scaffold in many different biofilms (Jakubovics et al., 2013). In rare cases eDNA has been shown to inhibit bacterial settlement. Therefore, it is possible that nuclease mediated eDNA degradation would therefore promote adhesion. Consequently, it is not clear whether microbial nucleases contribute to the gross biofilm structure in clinically relevant situations (Sheilds et al., 2013). 2 Chapter one : Introduction and literature Review All previous studies used both commercial bovine and recombinant human DNaseI in the disruption of medically important biofilms; whilst, extracellular nuclease of S. aureus (SNase) was used against biofilm of S. aureus themselves (Benenken et al., 2012b ; Kiedrowski et al., 2014). Thus, to date, the role of S. aureus exonucleases in biofilm of other bacteria remains unclear. However, in the present study SNase is used against biofilm of other bacterial species (viz. K. pneumoniae and E. coli). To address this, the following steps were undertaken : 1 - Investigating the negative impact of SNase extracted from S. aureus on K. pneumoniae and E.coli biofilm formation. 2 - Studying the preventive activity of SNase on the adherence of K. pneumoniae and E. coli on uroepithelial cell.

The samples included of patients in Medical City Hospital and Al - kindy Hospital (15 urine, 60 blood, 50 root canal and 10 wound swabs) Antibiotics susceptibility test for 20 isolates was done against 11 antibiotics, it was revealed that the isolates showed multi drug resistance were (18) isolates. The vancomycin susceptibility was determined by the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC). Resistant and intermediate resistant to vancomycin was distributed among isolates at a ratio of 65% and 20%, respectively. Imipenem was found to be the most bactericidal agent against E. faecalis isolates E. faecalis virulence factors were detected phenotypically, The results showed that all isolates (100%) were hemolysin, protease and aggregation substance producer. 30% of isolates showed an ability to produce gelatinase. While (40.7%) of the isolates were a lipase producer. The results of the tube method showed that all E. faecalis isolates (100%) were slime layer and biofilm producer but the amount of adherent layer were different among the isolates ranged from strong to moderate and weak.The extracted DNA was subjected to Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique in a monoplex pattern to amplify the virulence factor Enterococcal Surface Protein (esp) which is chromosomal, results of this investigation showed that 20 (100%) E. faecalis isolates gave the amplicon size 933 base pair for the esp gene.The genetic determinants of Vancomycin - Resistant vanA and vanB genes were amplified using monoplex and multiplex PCR techniques in order to identify vancomycin resistant (van+) and sensitive (lacking van) among (13) E. faecalis. The vanA, vanB genes were detected in 11 and 4 E. faecalis isolates, respectively. The results of monoplex and multiplex PCR revealed that the molecular weight of vanA and vanB genes were 550 and nearly 600 bp, respectively. The results revealed that the vanA and vanB amplicons have a genetic variation in their molecular weight during the electrophoresis of PCR product.

المستخلص: Six Bifidobacterum isolates were isolated from fully breast - fed healthy infant faeces on reduced de Man Rogosa and sharp medium (MRS - C). Isolates identified on the basis of, colonial and microscopical properties, biochemical tests, and fructose - 6 - phosphate phosphoketolase enzyme (F6PPK) activity assay in cellular extracts. Carbohydrates fermentation profile used for identification of isolates to species level. All bacterial isolates diagnosed as Bifidobacterium genus where in this study B. adolescntis was the predominant species (50%), (B4, B5 and B6), followed by B. breve (B3), B. longum (B1) and B. dentium (B2) each one represent 16.67%.Bifidobacterium isolates were screened for their antagonistic effects against test organism, clinical isolate of shiga toxin producing E.coli O157 : H7 (STEC), using agar - well diffusion method. The isolates B3 and B6 showed clear inhibitory actions, 22 mm and 15 mm diameter of inhibitions zones, respectively. The rest of the tested isolates did not pronounce any inhibitory activity.B. breve in vivo antagonistic behavior and the possible protective effects against STEC was evaluated, using streptomycin treated murine model. Murine intestines was stably colonized orally with B. breve for 14 days, in conjunction mice were challenged orally with STEC, 103 CFU / mouse / day on day 8 of experiment. Bacterteriological analysis of mice faeces at time intervals, was indicated high levels of bacterial colonization were achieved in intestine by B. breve and STEC.Colonization of mice intestine by B. Breve did not inhibited STEC cells from proliferation during infection phase. Hence, the excretion level of STEC in faeces reached to 2.4 x 10 6 CFU/ g of faeces.STEC infected mice showed no severe clinical signs, characterized by hairloss, lethargy, paralysis of fore limbs, and shed of loose faeces. In the B. breve - colonized group, the mentioned clinical signs were almost completely inhibited, except the lethargic of some animals.Immunological studies showed an increase in the levels of sIgA by 2.7 - fold from that of blood IgA in B. breve - colonized mice while, reversed values were recorded in mice infected with STEC, blood IgA level was 1.95 - fold higher than that of sIgA.Histological changes in spleen, liver, kidney, and intestine tissues of mice were studied. The histological sections clarified the protective roles of B.breve, where no effective histological disorders were appeared in B.breve and STEC - colonized mice. In the STEC - infected mice, the pathological abnormalities within the kidney was the predominant, diagnozed as ulcers in the lining membranes, glomerular and tubular epithelium necrosis, without evidence of glomerular thrombi, mild damages was appeared in liver and spleen, and characteristic attaching and effacing (A / E) lesions appeared in the large intestine sections

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: 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.

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: م اجراء فحوصات فيزيائية وكيميائية واحيائية لمياه الشرب في محطتي الحي والبشائر وعدد من المناطق التي تغذيها, شهريا للمدة من تشرين الاول 2013 الى شهر تموز 2014, عبر مراحل التصفية وصولا الى المنازل التي تقع على مسافات مختلفة عن مصدر التجهيز وبواقع نموذجين لكل | Physical, chemical and a biological tests were carried out and drinking water samples were collected from AL - Haay and AL - Bashaer water treatment plants and number of residential areas fed by these plants for period extended from October 2013 to July 2014, through the purification stages up to residential sites at different areas situated with various distances from the supplying source, two samples were taken monthly. 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: 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.
