Abstract: The present study was conducted to investigate the effect of the water body type on the density of crustaceans zooplankton of the cortical Cladocera and two orders of copepod (Cyclopoida, Calanoida), addition to the physical and chemical effect of lake of Baghdad Tourist Island and Tigris river within the water of the lake near the site and electric and know the effect these characterties on density of crustaceans Zooplankton and for doing this study. We choose five places, tow on Tigris river and three places on the Island in AI - Fahhama in north of Baghdad The samples of water were collected every 15 days all these stations from beginning of December 2013 to May 2014. This study had corrected the temperature of air and water and the pH, electrical conductivity. and Dissolved oxygen, BOD5, NO?¯, PO?¯ and the density of Crastaceans Zooplankton. This study showed that the temperature of the air was nearly in the river and the lake and that because of their being in the same geographs area.The temperature was between (16°c - 34°c)in Tigris while it was (11.9°c - 33°c)in the lake Hydrogen Ions, it was (7.3 - 7.9) in the river and (8.18.8)in the lake because that were a lot of water plants and phytoplankton. This study shows that water of the river and the lake in the areas of study have a good of air and that was shown by recording the heigh values of oxygen. The values of dissolved oxygen (DO) was between (8.11 - 11.5) mg\L in river between (7.9111.37)mg\L in lake and showed from the study that the values were few. It was less than 5mg\L it was (0.33 - 2.6) mg\Lin the river and (0.64 - 3.55) mg\L in the lake. The values electrical conductivity of water in all the placed the study in the permissible range the water, it isn't over than 1500?s\cm. The electrical conductively records were between (851 - 1184) ?s\cm in the river, and it was (755 1270) ?s\cm in the lake. From the other hand nutrients, the phosphor records between (0.025 - 0.0563)mg\Lin the river and in the lake between(0.00310.0429)mg\L The Nitrate records its values highs in the month of winter because of the rain and it was increased in the river, it was (0.345 - 0.9135)mg\L compare with the lake, it was (0.028 - 0.626)mg\L in the places of the study that were appearance of two clear increases in the density of Zooplankton one was in winter and the other was spring.The density of zooplankton in the lake much more than it was in the river. The density of the zooplankton belong to Cladocera between (0.019 - 0.307) ind.\L in the lake and the density of the Calnoida was between (0.003 - 0.065)ind. \L in the river and (0.0078 - 3.37) ind. \L in the lake. The results shows differences if there are changes in places and month on most of physical and chemical biological characteristic the measured during the period of this study. The kind of water body effects on most characteristics and soon the density of crustaceans zooplankton.the results of the study mention the binding morale relation between the density of zooplankton the values of electrical conductivity and value of BOD(Biological Oxygen Demand) while there isn't any morale relation between the density of zooplankton and the value of Hydrogen Ion and Nitrate and dissolved oxygen that because the value of these changes was near to be equal in all the places that eayses the reduce of its effective on the average of density of these organism. The study shows that Baghdad lake have the environmental ingredients makes the lake natural protected to forming and breeding a fish in the lakes in addition that it is a place for Tourism.

Abstract: The goal of present study was to investigate the benefits of broccoli as anti androgenic plant in protection and treatment for reproductive hormonal and metabolic disturbance, which combined with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). Three experiments for 3 PCOS models were done. First Experiment : The prepubertal female rats at 21 days old, were injected with Testosterone (T) subcutaneously for 39 days (first model). The females of this experiment were divided into 6 groups (8 rats each) as follows : Group 1 was injected with sesame oil. Group 2 was injected with T hormone. Group 3 was injected with T hormone with orally gavaged of broccoli juice. Group 4 was injected with sesame oil, and at the end of the last injection was orally gavaged with distilled water for 30 days. Group 5 was injected with T hormone, and at the end of the last injection was orally gavaged with distilled water for 30 days. Group 6 was injected with T hormone, and at the end of the last injection was orally gavaged with broccoli juice for 30 days. Second Experiment : The prepubertal female rats at 21 days old, were injected with Letrozole (L) subcutaneously for 39 days (second model).The females of this experiment were divided into 6 groups with the same style of the first experiment. Third Experiment : it was achieved by the injection of pregnant rats prenatally (days 16 to 19 of gestation) with 1 mg of T hormone subcutaneously (third model), and then the female offspring were divided into groups (8 rats each) as follow : The first offspring group : The female rats offspring at 21 days old (their mothers were injected with sesame oil from 16th to 19th day of gestation) were orally gavaged with distilled water until 60 days of age. The second offspring group\ gavaged with distilled water : The female rats offspring at 21 days old (their mothers were injected with T hormone from 16th to 19th day of gestation) were orally gavaged with distilled water until 60 days of age. The second offspring group\ gavaged with broccoli juice : The female rats offspring at 21 days old (their mothers were injected with T hormone from 16th to 19th day of gestation) were orally gavaged with broccoli juice until 60 days of age. The third offspring group : The female rats offspring at 21 days old (their mothers were injected with T hormone from 16th to 19th day of gestation and orally gavaged with broccoli juice) were orally gavaged with distilled water until 60 days of age. Females of all groups were sacrificed after 24 hours from the last treatment to undertake weight, histological, hormonal and metabolic study for each group. the results of present study showed the symptoms that reported PCOS of the three female experiments such as ovarian cyst, hyperandrogenemia, hormonal and metabolic disturbance, etc. Also a well improvement has been noticed in all syndrome symptoms on females gavaged with broccoli juice for all three rats PCOS experiments, these results indicate that broccoli juice has got a protective and curative role against this syndrome.

It was also aimed to investigate chromosomal aberrations, micronucleus formation and FLT3/ITD point mutations in CN - AML region 100 - 300 bp compared with healthy control. The study was comprised of forty - seven AML Iraqi patients their ages ranged between 2.5 - 81 years. It included twenty females and twenty seven males compared with twenty - six healthy control. The following results were obtained : AML is most common leukemia in adults and uncommon in children. It was found that 46.8% patients suffer from AML, who were under 15 years old, while 19.15% patients their age ranged between 16 - 30 years; 19.15% of patients their age were more than 45 years and 14.9% of patients their age ranged between 31 - 45 years of the total AML patients. AML is more common in males than females. The percentages of females and males were 42.5% and 57.5% respectively representing 1.35 : 1.00 male : female ratio. Two AML patients 5.3% have diploid cells when examined under light microscope. The highest mitotic index was 7.498±1.7 occurred in patients before taking treatment while recorded 6.784±4.5 during treatment and 7.000±2.5 after treatment. Nuclear anomalies such as nucleoplasmic bridges and nuclear buds were observed in AML patients, Micronucleus mean values recorded 0.033±0.018, 0.020±0.00015 and 0.036±0.01for AML patients before, during and after treatment respectively when compared with the control which recorded 0.002±0.00002. Nuclear division index (NDI) means before, during and after treatment of AML patients were 1.658±0.2, 1.000±0.022 and 1.424±0.19 respectively. Significant differences occurred among the three groups when compared with the control group (1.282±0.09). Extracted DNA from 30 AML patients was amplified by PCR to obtain FLT3/ITD gene from exon 11 to intron 12 and ten of them sent for sequencing. Two patients showed larger bands (470 and 460) bp when compared with wild type (330) bp. Among six patients, three displayed point mutations of deletion and substitution while others were normal since no mutations were detected. The percentages of mutation types were substitution 57.78% and deletion 22.2%. The effect of mutations was missense mutation (55.54%), deletion (22.22%) and nonsense (22.22%). It has been concluded from the current work that AML is more common in adult males, patients suffer from AML exhibited high MI, NDI, MN and point mutations are present in such patients including deletion and substitution causing missense, nonsense and deletion.

During the period from October 2013 to February 2014, a total of 140 oral swab were collected from immunocompromised patients with attending to the three center in AL - Sadder Medical City (Oncology center and kidney center and Center for Diabetes and Endocrinology).In AL - Najaf Governorate, the samples were collected as following : - 110 mouth swabs from patients suffering from leukemia, prostate, stomach and bowel cancer, also 10 mouth swabs from kidney transplant patients and 20 mouth swabs from diabetes. The percentage of female to male was as following, female (86) 64(72.7%) infected, 22(42.3%) uninfected and male (54) 30(57.7%) uninfected, 24(27.3%) infected, with age range between (5 - 64) years. In this study, the results show that the incidence of candidiasis in women was higher than the male also the most cases of candidiasis in patients age range between (45 - 54) years. The results of the present study reveal that the prevalence of oral candidiasis from patient with cancer was more than diabetes & kidney transplant patients which was 72(81.18%), 12(13.65%) & 4(4.54%) respectively. When culturing oral samples on the primary isolation media Sabouroud dextrose agar (SDA) and the secondary media on CHROM agar, The results reveal the presence of 88 isolates belong to Candida spp.which include : - 42 (47.68%) belong to Candida albicans, 20 (22.72%) belong to Candida. dubliniensis, 18 (20.5%)belong to Candida krusei, 6 (6.8%) belong to Candida glabrata & 2 (2.3%) belong to Candida parapsilosis. According to this result, Candida albicans was found the most frequently isolated species and the occurrence of the other non - albicans isolates such as Candida dubliniensis and which followed Candida albicans in frequency of the isolates in oral candidiasis. In this study, the ability of C.albicans & non - albicans was tested to produce some virulence factors such as production of enzymes phospholipase, lipase, germ tube, chlamydospore & biofilms when culturing Candida spp. on different media. The results of the culture show that Candida albicans produces all virulence factor included germ tube, chlamydospore, biofilms & phospholipase. Some species share several phenotypic characteristics ability to produce enzymes of phospholipase such as C.krusei while C.dubliniensis produce chlamydospore, when culturing in the Casein agar & produce biofilms, In addition the molecular tests to was used for Candida albicans confirm the ability to secreted aspartyl proteinase (ASP2). This study showed the amplified from the Candida spp. as following : - C.albicans 306 bp, C.glabrata 594 bp, C.parapsliosis 387 bp, C.krusei 651 bp & C.dubliniensis 451 bp.

Abstract: لقد تم تحديد المحتوى الفينولي الكلي للمركبات الفينولية Total phenolic content والفعالية المضادة للاكسدة Antioxidant activity لمخلفات نوعين من العنب (Vitis vinifera) (ديس العنز والشدة السوداء) التي تم الحصول عليها بعد استخلاص عصير العنب وهي القشور والبذور | The total phenolic contents (TPC) and the antioxidant activity of the pomaces and their components (seeds and peels) of two Iraqi grape cultivars (Shadda Black and Des - Alanez) were determined. Four types of solvents were used in the extraction in order to select the best way of extraction of the phenolic compounds. In addition, the insecticidal activity of the water extracts of the pomaces, seeds and peels against different stages of the life cycle of housefly, Musca domestica, was evaluated via studying the effects of the water extracts on egg hatching, the development of the first instar (L1) larvae into pupae and adult flies, and on the viability of the third instar (L3) larvae and pupae. The results of the present study showed that the extracts prepared in the 5% HCl solutions contained the highest (P<0.05) amounts of phenolic compounds followed by those prepared in hdyro - ethanolic solutions (50% with water, v/v), then the extracts prepared in boiling distilled water, while those prepared in normal distilled water (at room temperature) showed the lowest amounts of phenolic compounds. A similar trend of activity was observed for the antioxidant activity via the ability to scavenge the synthetic free radical (2, 2 - diphenyl - 1 - picrylhydrazyl; DPPH). This correlation between the total phenolic contents of the grape pomaces, seeds, and peels and their antioxidant activities clearly indicates that the phenolic compounds are the main contributors for the antioxidant activity. It is important to mention that the TPC of the pomaces, seeds, and peels of the Des - Alanez cultivar were significantly higher (P<0.05 - 0.001) than their counterparts of the Shadda cultivar.The insecticidal activity was evidenced by the ability of the water (boiling) extracts of the pomaces, seeds, and peels of the two cultivars to inhibit the hatching of the housefly eggs at very low concentrations. At 150 microgram (µg)/ml, the crude water extracts from the powdered pomaces, seeds, and peels were able to inhibit completely the hatching of the eggs (100% inhibition) when compared with the eggs in the control group (exposed to water only). The water extracts of the pomaces, seeds, and peels of the two cultivars showed inhibitory effects against the viability of the L3 larvae as evidenced by their ability to paralyze or kill the larvae and this ability increases significantly with increasing the exposure time (P< 0.05) and concentration (P< 0.05). The results also revealed that the ability of extracts of the seeds of the two cultivars to paralyze or kill the L3 larvae was significantly higher (P< 0.5 - 0.001) than the extracts of the pomaces and peels, especially at the higher concentrations.The results of the current study also showed the capacity of the water extracts of pomaces, seeds, and peels of the two cultivars to affect the development of pupae into adult flies and this capacity depends on the exposure time and the by - product and increases significantly (P< 0.05 - 0.001) with increasing the exposure time. Moreover, the ability of the seeds extracts from both cultivars to inhibit the transformation of the pupae into adult flies was significantly higher (P< 0.001) than the ability of the extracts of the pomaces and peels, and at all the exposure times.Concerning the results of the last series of the laboratory experiments which are considered the most important experiments in this study because they simulate field conditions, two treatment placement locations were selected, top of the manure and bottom of manure (under about 5 cm of manure). For top treatment, 50 grams of manure were placed in the plastic cup and then 5% or 10% of the powdered pomaces, seeds or peels were sprinkled on the top of the manure. For bottom treatment, the same amounts of powdered by - products were sprinkled on the bottom of the cup and then 50 g of manure were added to the cup. A similar quantity of untreated manure was used as a control. The results of these experiments showed that the powdered pomaces, seeds, and peels have the ability to inhibit the development of the larvae into pupae and adult flies and this ability depends on the location of the products and the grape cultivar. The results also revealed that the addition of the powdered materials of both cultivars on top of the manure inhibited significantly more (P<0.05 - 0.001) L1 larvae from reaching the pupa and adult stages in comparison with their counterparts which had been added at the bottom of the manure. Contrary to our expectations, the powdered pomaces, seeds and peels of both cultivars showed inhibitory effect against the L1 larvae when added on bottom of the manure which may indicate that the phenolic compounds present in the powdered materials can mix and bind with the ingredients of the powdered by - products and affect the growth and development of the larvae into pupae and adult flies.It can be concluded that the grape pomaces and their ingredients, which are usually thrown in the bin, represent very good sources for phenolic compounds that have the ability to scavenge the free radicals and have insecticidal activity against different stages of the housefly, Musca domestica.

Abstract: الخلاصة اشتملت الدراسة تنفيذ خمس تجارب, فضلا عن عزل بكتريا الـ Azotobacter وتنقيتها وتوصيفها وذلك من خلال جمع 16 عينة تربة من رايزوسفير محاصيل عدة من مناطق مختلفة من محافظة ديالى.كانت اربع تجارب مختبرية نفذت بهدف قياس اقل تركيز مثبط MIC من الـ NaCl في نم | The study imvolved implementation of five experiments, as well as the isolation, purification and classification of the bacteria (Azotobacter) and through the collection (16) soil samples from Rhaizosphre several crops from different regions of the province of Diyala. The four laboratory experiments carried out to measure less inhibitory concentration MIC in the growth and the number of bacteria Azotobacter and fixation of atmospheric nitrogen and produce GA3 from bacteria. Fifth experiment pot experiment to study the effect of two types of bacteria Azotobacter and interference with water drainage in the growth and yield plant wheat (Triticum aestevium L.) type (Aba 99).Isolate and diagnose the bacteria Azotobacter : The screening showed and diagnostic results that 11 isolation is a subsidiary of the type A.chroococcum, and 5 isolates belonging to the sensitization A.vinelandii.The isolates (A10, A2, A6, A8) was chosen from A.chroococcum and (A9, A5, A16, A14) was chosen from A.vinelandii was chosen as local isolate used in laboratory experiments based on the measurement of the soil salinity isolated ones, and selected isolates A10, A8, A5, A14 local isolate used as biofertility to the experience of pots because of their ability to nitrogen fixation by measuring the amount of nitrogen fixation in the third experiments. Laboratory experiments : The first and second experiment : Two trials were conducted Laboratory by using randomized complete block design (RCBD), each experiment included (120) experimental unit for each lap. Resulted from (8) isolates bacterial and five Trakizmn salt NaCl (0, 1, 3, 5, 7)% and (3) replicates, and incubated for three periods lap (1.3, 6) days to calculate the (MIC) in the growth and cell numbers bacterial. The results showed that the number of bacteria cells A.vinelandii rate increase all isolates A.chroococcum regardless of the concentrations of NaCl and extended incubation. Although isolates (A16, A14) isolated from soil salty surpassed isolates (A9, A5) isolated from soil is salty, and isolates (A8, A6) A.chroococcum of bacteria isolated from soil salty surpassed isolates (A10, A2) isolated from non - saline soil. The highest values of the numbers of bacteria are isolates A8, A16, amounting to (11.13, 11.0) * 104.cfu g - 1 dry soil. The increase in the concentration of NaCl led to a decrease significantly in the growth and the number of bacteria Azotobacter cells as the decline amounted to 17.13%, 45.52%, 59.50%, 76.99% at concentrations of 1%, 3%, 5%, 7%, respectively, and recorded the lowest numbers in the values of focus 7%, reaching 3.80 * 104. Cfu g - 1 dry soil. The growth and numbers of bacteria Azotobacter increased treatment effect when increasing the extended cuddling and all concentrations of NaCl. In a period of one lap on all isolates were grown in 1% NaCl concentration of the MIC for all isolates focus is 1%, while the two lap 3 days, all isolates growing focus recorded (3%, 5%) excluding A16 isolation of bacteria A.vinelandii was able to focus on growth until 7%, so the damper the MIC for this isolation focus is to concentrate 7%, while the rest of the isolates the MIC have 5%, which indicates that this isolation is more resistant to salinity of the isolates.The third experiment : The results showed that the rate of nitrogen fixation bacteria Azotobacter between (0.008 - 0.04%), but an increase in local concentrations led to a decline in moral decline as nitrogen fixation rate of 50.0%, 77.5%, 95.0%, 98.0% at concentrations of 1% salinity, 3%, 5%, 7% respectively.All isolated of bacteria Azotobacter can nitrogen fixation in the all salinity level. although A.chroococcum isolates isolated from non - saline soil surpassed isolates isolated from soil salty and all levels of salinity. Fourth experiment : A laboratory Conducted experiment by using a randomized complete block design (RCBD), included the experiment (12) experimental unit. Resulted from (4) bacterial isolates and three concentration of salt NaCl (0, 3, 5)% to calculate the MIC in the production of bacteria gibbereline Azotobacter. The results showed that the production rate of bacteria gibberline Azotobacter and all isolates ranged from 0.996 - 3.6 mg. L - 1, regardless of the concentration of added NaCl. And increasing salinity levels have led to a reduction in the production of Aljprlin, recorded A8 isolation from A.chroococcum isolated from soil salty higher values in the production of Aljprlin and all levels of salinity Experiemet of pots : The experiment was Carried out in the College of Agriculture, University of Diyala in the soil of a fusion sand using a design full sectors randomized (RCBD) in the winter season of the year (2013 - 2014). The experiment included on (60) experimental unit, resulting from the overlap between the four isolates bacterial treatment compared without the addition of bacterial vaccine and four concentrations of water drainage. The results showed that the addition of the vaccine bacterial gave a significant increase in plant height, dry weights of grouped shoot and root, leaf area, chlorophyll content, holds grains, protein and the concentration of elements of N and decrease the concentration of Na elements, Cl and proline.The addition of the vaccine bacterial and all isolates used led to a significant increase in plant height, dry weights of grouped shoot and root, leaf area, chlorophyll content, holds grains, protein and the concentration of elements of N, and decrease the concentration of Na elements, Cl and the preparation of bacteria Azotobacter in the soil compared to non - bacterial vaccine in addition to all the concentrations of water drainage. The isolates were isolated from soil salty gave an increase in traits higher than isolates isolated from non - saline soil.

Abstract: هما طائر الحمام الضاحك او فاختة النخيل Laughing dove من الطيور اكلات الحبوب وطائر الرفراف Kingfisher من الطيور اكلات اللحوم اعتمادا على طبيعة الغذاء. تضمنت الدراسة فحص مظهري ونسجي للامعاء لكلا النوعين في ثلاثين طائرا بالغا تتراوح اوزانهم بين 96.6 ± 0.87 | The study was designed for the purpose of identifying the tissues structure in the intestines of two Iraqi wild birds, Laughing dove, granivores birds and Kingfisher of birds carnivores birds depending on the nature of the food. The study included morphological and histological of intestines of both types in thirty adult birds their weights ranging between 96.6 ± 0.87 grams in the laughing and 101.8 ± 0.49 grams of Kingfisher. These birds were obtained by caught from different areas in AL - Qadisiya province regardless of their sex and then divided into two groups, every group included fifteen birds represent the order of studied birds. Five birds for the purpose of studying the morphological structure and another ten for the purpose of examining the histological structure, from each group. Birds were Seduced and opened by the abdominal area carefully. The intestines of the birds were visually described, both the small and the large intestine. Both birds intestines were separated from their bodies.Then, the weights of birds were accounted. After that, the ratio of birds intestines was recorded according to birds bodies. The results of morphological structure have showed that there are similarities in the parts and position of intestines in both studied birds.Also, it has been showed that the ratio of weight of both small and large intestines to the body was higher in kingfisher bird 2.23% and 0.42% compared with that ratio in laughing dove 1.94% and 0.52%. The intestine of laughing dove was longer than that of kingfisher.The duodenum forms single loop that encircles pancreas in both birds. There is no diverticuli vitelini that separates jejunum and ileum. It has been found that there were couple of cecaea in laughing dove bird and not found in white breasted kingfisher. The results of histological study has showed that the wall of intestine in both birds consists of four main layer different in their thickness which are mucosa layer, submucosa layer, muscularis layer and serosa layer.The mucosa layer consists of simple epithelium, lamina propria and muscularis mucosae layer.The three parts of intestine duodenum, jejunum, ileum have similarity in their histological structure in that the mucosa layer modified into a lot of villi which were longer and thicker and contain more branches in its base parts in kingfisher compared with that of laughing dove birds which was shorter and thinner, The villi were covered with a lot of columnar cells and brush border that have goblet cells which their number increase toward the of digestive canal. It has been noted that there was differences in layer thickness that form intestine wall.The mucosa layer was thinner compared with other layer. The villi of ceacae were short and flat, the villi of rectum were short in both birds.The cloaca villi were longer and clearer of laughing dove that of white breasted kingfisher. It has been concluded that the difference of food type that the birds have can have clear effect in both morphological and histological structure of intestine ; namely, the thickness of layers that forms their walls.

Abstract: Breast cancer (BC) is the most common cause of cancer - related deaths in women. It continues to rank as one of the top killer of women. This cancer increased in frequency in the last years in Iraq. The aim of this study was to shed light on the immunohistochemical for some factors that could be affect on development of microenvironment in breast cancer of Iraqi patients. And these factors include CD133 as a marker for breast cancer stem cells (BCSs), and also studying tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF - ?) and transforming growth factor beta (TGF - ?). 53 samples Formalin - fixed, paraffin - embedded (FFPE) wax block appeared their ages were range from 29 - 70 year with a mean age of 48.45 years. 32 patients with breast carcinoma and 21 patients with benign breast lesions were included in this study for comparison. The results of this study show that the CD133 positive expression was found in (56.2%) of Iraqi breast cancer cases. Also the result of this study show that (62.5%) positive expression from both (TNF - ? &TGF - ?) of breast cancer cases, compared with sample of benign breast lesion. The results show (52.3%) positive expression of TNF - ? and (28.57%) positive expression of TGF - ? of samples with benign breast lesion, there is a significant different between studied samples, compared with (19.05%) samples positive expression of CD133 of sample with benign breast lesion so there is a significant different between the samples with breast cancer and benign breast lesion. Also the results show there is a positive relationship correlation between (TGF - ?) expression and (TNF - ?) expression, while there were no relationship correlation between (TGF - ?) and CD133 and no relationship correlation between TNF - ? and CD133. The results show there is a positive correlation between the grade and breast cancer with the three different expressions of marker but in different strongest correlations between (TNF - ?) and (TGF - ?) with the graded but this correlation becomes weak with CD133 marker the value of significant. According to the relationship in breast cancer case in this study between the studied markers and stage of case it shows (TNF - ?) has a strong positive correlation while the correlation appear week between the stage of this studies case and end each of TGF - ? and CD133. For this we concluded from the results there high expression of CD133 and TNF - ? indicators and TGF - ?. CD133 could use in diagnosis of the cancer cell and the high expression of TNF - ? & TGF - ? indicate that these factor play important roles in tumor microenvironment metastasis. And the strong correlation between the expression of these markers with grade and stage of breast cancer

Systems, The results was found to be 28 isolates (23.3%) belong to K.pneumoniae, 26 isolates (21.7 %) belong to S.pneumonia while 66 isolates(55%) belong to causes : E.coli, Pseudomonas sp., Moraxella catrrhalis, S.pyogens, Monilia and S.aureus. From (55) blood samples of pneumonia patients and 30 blood samples from healthy individuals, number of white blood cell (Neutrophil) counts were measured, percentage of Neutrophil cell count in female (53%) higher than the cell count in male(47%). Some markers of pneumonia disease were studied such as ratio of infection between male and female, chronic and acute cases and smoker and non smoker, the results were showed the ratio of infection in female more than in male, (60%, 40%), respectively. And number of acute cases of pneumonia patients 41(74.55%) more than chronic cases 14(25.45%). While infection ratio in smoker patients more than nonsmoker patients at ratio 24(57.14%)18(42.86%), respectively. The result of interleukin - 8 level through acute and chronic phases in pneumonia patients sera was showed high level in patients compared with healthy persons (86.4403 ± 25.50919 vs. 58.7636 ± 4.73152 pg / ml, respectively) with a non significant difference statistically (P?0.05). Also in the age group (age 15 - 60years), The results showed the results interleukin 8 levels higher than the age groups of (2month - 3years) and (age 60 - 85) (93.63 ± 51.65, 68.88 ± 17.17, 65.68 ± 11.73 pg / ml, respectively) with non significant difference (P?0.05). The result of Leukotriene B4 level through acute and chronic phases in pneumonia patients sera showed high level in patients compared with healthy persons (36.00 ± 3, 82 vs. 25.96 ± 4.44 pg / ml, respectively) with a significant difference (P?0.05). Also in the age group (two months - 3 years) were showed the results interleukin 8 levels higher than the age groups (age 15 - 60) (age (60 - 85)(33.61 ± 11.06, 19.29 ± 4.67, 16.86 ± 4.51 pg / ml respectively) with no siginificant difference (P?0.05), the correlation coeifficient between interleukin - 8 and leukotriene B4 was (0.12) with no siginificant difference. The phagocytic activity was determined in pneumonia patients sera according to measurement C3 protein level through acute and chronic phases, the result were showed the ratio of C3 protein levels in healthy persons more than in patients (135.93 ± 12.74, 133.19 ± 12.01 pg / ml, respectively) with a difference was not significant statistically (P?0.05).

Abstract: يعد الكبد العضو الرئيسي المسؤول عن ازالة السموم في الجسم, مما يجعله الاول في التعرض للسمية الدوائية والكيميائية للمواد الداخلة للجسم من جميع الاعضاء, ووفق ذلك اجريت هذه الدراسة لمقارنة التاثير الحامي للكويرسيتين ومستخلص الحلبة على الانسجة الكبدية لذكور ال | The liver is the main organ responsible for removing toxins in the body, making it the first to face various chemicals from all of the organs, and according to this the study had designed to compare the hepatoprotective effect of the Quercetin and Trigonella foenum graecum extract on the liver tissues of male rats poisoned with carbon tetrachloride, and to know their effects when used together. The study was conducted at the Faculty of Pharmacy - University of Kufa, and included using of 30 rats from Sprague - Dawley divided into five groups : the negative control group, the positive control group, the group treated with organic extract, the quercetin treated group and the group treated with extract and quercetin together. The period of dosing continued for 7 days and on the eighth day all groups(except the control group) were poisoned with carbon tetrachloride. After 24 hours the animals were killed. The study lasted from April 2013 - until July 2013. The Liver weights of treated animals were measured, the effectiveness of transferase enzymes Alanine Transaminase, Aspartate Transaminase and Alkaline phosphatase and total bilirubin level in the serum were assessed, also the Glutathione and Malondialdehyde levels were estimated in liver homogenized. The results showed the following : A significant increase (P<0.05) in the liver weights, the effectiveness of the amine transferase enzymes, Alkaline phosphatas and total bilirubin in the serum of the treated animals when compared with the negative control group, while these parameters revealed a significant decrease (P<0.05) at the treated groups as compared with the positive control group. The results showed no significant difference (P>0.05) in the Glutathione level and a significant increment (P<0.05) in the level of Malondialdehyde in the treated groups when compared with the negative control group. Also, the results showed a significant decrease and increase (P<0.05) in the levels of Glutathione and the Malondialdehyde at the treated animals as compared with the positive control group. The present study showed numerous histological changes which resulted from the injection with carbon tetrachloride. In relation with the tissue sections which have been taken from the treated groups : with the extract, quercetin and the group treated with both revealed a protective effect for organic extract seeds of Trigonella foenum - graecum and quercetin drug on the liver tissues which had been poisoned and the best effect in the protection appeared at the group which was treated with the extract and quercetin together. From this study we can conclude that the Trigonella foenum - graecum organic extract and quercetin may reveal a protective role for the liver against carbon tetrachloride poisoning by maintaining the effectiveness of liver enzymes Alanine Transaminase, Aspartate Transaminase and Alkaline phosphatase and bilirubin level in the serum as well as by increasing the Glutathione level and falling the Malondialdehyde level in liver homogenized. Also we conclude that using Trigonella foenum - graecum organic extract and quercetin together led to double protection of the liver and efficiently as a result of the positive impact which resulted from using them together

Abstract: 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.
