المستخلص: استهدفت الدراسة الحالية عزل وتشخيص الفطريات المستنبتة في اوراق نبات الاس Myrtus communis واختبار فعاليتها المضادة للاحياء المجهرية وفعاليتها الانزيمية. - اظهرت نتائج عزل الفطريات المستنبتة في 500 قطعة اوراق للحصول على عدد كلي للعزلات مساويا الى 99 عزلة ف | The present study was aimed to isolate and identify endophytic fungi from leaves of myrtle Myrtus communisand study their antimicrobial and enzymatic activities. - Results of fungal isolation from 500 leaves fragments revealed isolation of 99 endophytic fungi represented a total colonization frequency (CF) of 20.4%. 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.

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.

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.

These compounds were characterized by the Infrared (IR) Spectroscopy, Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (1H - NMR), Mass Spectra, and the results were virtually identical to what is expected. It has been determined LD50 for the two ligands - after dissolved dimethyl sulfoxide DMSO - and account for them safe therapeutic dose, reaching 0.14 g / kg and 0.24 g / kg, respectively. In order to see the effectiveness of the two ligands on the parasite compared with the infected group and treatment with a drug metronidazole, these two ligands have been administered orally the therapeutic dose each separately on two groups of mice which infected by the parasite Entamoeba histolytica. Three other groups of mice that non - infected have been also administered separately with the parasite first and second ligands and dimethyl sulfoxide, to see some of the side effects of these three compounds in comparison with the two groups of positive and negative control. At the level of probability (p ? 0.05), the results of statistical analysis show a significant variation, remarkable inhibitory effect of the number of cysts that reached the less impact to the second ligand rate about 2.9. in the seventh day of the injury and treatment. In the fifth day of the injury and treatment, the highest inhibiting effect of metronidazole was at a rate of 0, while in the seventh day of them, the first ligand was a compromise in effect, amounting to at a rate of 1.1. The Histological study of tissue of the cecum, liver and spleen showed a normal state for a negative control, and an occurrence of severe tissue changes in a positive control. In the cecum tissue, the mucosal was thin, and there were crashes in the crypts of Lieberkühn, with infiltration in inflammatory cells, as well as the expansion of the cells lining the crypts, and the disappearance of or crash submucosal layer, as well as severe hemorrhage in muscularis, and thickening in serosa. There was severe congestion of the blood vessel which was observed in liver tissue, as well as thrombus which appeared attached to the wall of the blood vessel, and infiltration of inflammatory cells out of the blood vessel toward the hepatic tissue, especially macrophages and eosinophils. It was also noticed the disappearance of hepatic architecture with degeneration of the liver cells and a clear sinusoids expansion. In addition to vacuolation of liver cells, that the tissue sections showed, with the occurrence of bleeding along the hepatic tissue. The changes in the spleen tissue represented in the occurrence of severe bleeding on the length of the lymphatic tissue of the spleen with infiltration of inflammatory cells, especially macrophages, and the happening of megakaryocytes. There is a remarkable improvement could be noticed in each tissues of cecum, liver and spleen of the infected groups and treatment with metronidazole and the first and second ligands. The improvement ratios were close to some extent : in the treatment group with metronidazole there was observation in tissue cecum to the occurrence of the four layers of its component, and the happening of a little bleeding which, with infiltration of inflammatory cells, and this is roughly similar to what shown by histological sections of two treatments by the first and second ligands. The liver tissue of the group treated with metronidazole showed the occurrence of radially arrangement obviously hepatic cells around the central vein, and liver cells with nuclei appeared clear and centralized with esinophilic cytoplasm, and hepatic cells proliferative as some binucleated hepatocytes, with a simple expansion to sinusoids and the proliferation of kupffer cells, the treatment groups with two ligands marked by the presence of a small clot within the central vein of the liver as well as reported in the treatment group with metronidazole. Tissues sections of the spleen tissue of infected mice treated group by metronidazole showed a clear proliferation of white pulp, which appears containing arterioles clear, white pulp is also surrounded by proliferation red pulp. And showed tissue sections of the group of infected animals and treatment by the first and second ligands as well as the proliferation of lymphocytes, with the presence of megakaryocytes.Showed the three groups non - infected by the first and second ligands and dimethyl sulfoxide, the lack of side effects on each of the cecum tissue, liver and spleen, except for a very simple infiltration of inflammatory cells from macrophages in the cecum of the group treatment by the second ligand

In order to study the physiological changes of renal failure patients before and after hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis. The blood samples were taken from one hundered thirty four patients for this study.The patients in this study were divided into two groups according to the type of dialysis : 94 hemodialysis patients, 52 males with age range (21 - 69) years and 42 females with age range (20 - 70) years, 40 peritonial dialysis patients, 24 males with age range (21 - 60) years and 16 females with age range (23 - 63) years. All results were compared with the results of 57 healthy person who were selected from both sexes (29 males and 28 female). Eight milliliters of venous blood were collected from control subjects and patients with renal failure by using disposable syringe of 10 ml before and after dialysis process.The blood analyses was conducted for evaluating the hematological parameters which are included (Hb, PCV, WBCs and PLT ) biochemical parameters which include (Blood Urea, Serum Creatinine, Total Protein and Calicum) electrolyte parameters which include sodium and potassium, measured concentration of (Erythropoietin and Aldosterone) hormone in patients with renal failure before and after dialysis and control groups and measure the effectiveness of phagocytic cells in patients with renal failure before dialysis by using Nitroblue Tetrazolium stain (NBT). The study revealed the following results : 1 - When comparing the results of parameters between before and after hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis with healthy control show the following : a - Significant decrease (P < 0.01) in the levels of (Hb and PCV) while significant increase (P < 0.01) in PLT in renal failure patients before and after dialysis compared to healthy control and significant increase (P < 0.01) in the numbers of WBCs in male peritoneal dialysis patients compared to healthy control.b - Significant increase (P < 0.01) in urea, creatinine, sodium, potassium and in the aldosterone hormone concentration in renal failure patients before and after dialysis compared to healthy control.c - Significant decrease (P < 0.01) in the erythropoietin hormone concentration, total protein, calcium and phagocytic cells activity in renal failure patients compared to healthy control.2 - When comparing the results of parameters between before and after dialysis for each type of dialysis showing the following : - a - All hematological parameters and the concentration of hormones (Erythropoietin and Aldosterone) observe no significant differences between before and after dialysis.b - Significant decrease in the levels of urea, creatinine and there is a significant increase in the levels of total protein and calcium after dialysis comparing with before dialysis.c - Significant decrease in the levels of potassium in hemodialysis patients after dialysis comparing to before dialysis and there is a significant decrease in the levels of sodium and potassium after peritoneal dialysis comparing to before dialysis. 3 - When comparing the results of males and females hemodialysis with males and females peritoneal dialysis shows the following : a - Significant increases in numbers of WBCs before and after dialysis in the male and female peritoneal dialysis comparing with hemodialysis b - Significant decreases in the levels of urea and creatinine after dialysis in the male and female peritoneal dialysis comparing with hemodialysis.c - No significant difference in the levels of Hb, PCV, PLT, total protein, calcium, sodium, potassium, the phagocytic activity and the concentration of hormones (Erythropoietin and Aldosterone) before and after dialysis in the male and female hemodialysis comparing with peritoneal dialysis. We conclude that renal failure patients in Wasit Province suffer from severe anemia, high blood pressure, increase in the levels of urea and creatinine, disturbance in the levels of potassium, sodium and calcium with deficiency in the body's immunity.

المستخلص: اجريت الدراسة الحالية على المرضى المصابين بداء اللشمانيا الجلدية والمراجعين لبعض المستشفيات والمراكز الصحية في محافظة ديالى للمدة من تشرين الاول 2013 ولغاية نيسان 2014. اذ بلغ عدد المصابين باللشمانيا الجلدية 115 مصابا وبمختلف المراحل العمرية يضاف لهم 25شخ | The present study was conducted on patients that infected with cutaneous leishmaniasis reviewing to some hospitals and health centers in Diyala province for the period from October 2013 to April 2014.The number of patients with cutaneous leishmaniasis was 115 in different ages in addition to them 25 person as a control group (uninfected). The proportion of infected women with cutaneous leishmaniasis ulcers was higher 56.522% than males 43.47%, the age group ten years and less was more group that being infected with rate 47.83% while the age group that rang from 71 to 80 was the less categories being infected in percentage 0.87% with a significant differences in the level of improbability less than 0.05. The presence of multiple ulcers was high 71.304% than single ulcers 28.696%. The presence of ulcers that length 1 cm and less (64%) more than other with more than 1 cm (36%) with statistically significant. The cutaneous ulcers were distributed on different areas of the body, the injuries on face was more 36.242% with anumber of 54 cases followed by upper limbs in rate 33.557% with anumber of 36 cases, the sore shoulder came latter with apercentage 1.342% in a significant differences at the level of improbability less than 0.05. The percentage incidence of cutaneous leishmaniasis was rise in kids and students in rats 33.043%, 39.130% respectively in a comparison with earners, housewives and of officers their percentages were 24.349% and 3.478% consecutively in statistically differences at 0.05 probability. The diagnosis of cutaneous leishmaniasis infections was done depending on clinical diagnosis based on the characteristics of the morphological and pathological ulcers, culture methods, impression smears and histopathological diagnosis. Clinical diagnosis for the cutaneous ulcer was recorded 100% percentage in comparison with culture method 10.435% versus 74.782%. percentage to positive smears, while the result of positive histopathological diagnosis was 88.571% on vision of promastigote of Leishmania parasite on semisolid medium while a adoption of existence amastigote from as appositive result of smears and histopathological method of the tissue biopsies taken from ulcer. The histopathological method was high efficiency supported clinical diagnosis when compared to other methods this rise in the diagnosis ratio has been demonstrated in significant differences in statistical probability less than 0.05.A study of amain impacts of histopathological changes in cutaneous ulcers on the infected skin layers at the level of light microscopy was also conducted. These pathological effects were in epidermis of skin including hyperkeratosis, pseudoepitheliomatous epidermal changes, ulcers and emergence of a dark colour, thickening in this layer accompanied suppurations and desquamation of chronic cases. As for the dermis layer, the inflammatory cells were infiltrate include plasma cells, macrophages, lymphocytes and eoisophils, disturbance in the order of layers especially in acute ulcers was taken, while the pathological effects were more in chronic ulcers as observed granulomatous inflammation and necrosis. The amastigote from were presence inside and outside the phagocytic cells.Aswell as some immunological changes that associated with the infection were studied in patients therapists by Pentostame (Sodium Stubogluconate) medication and uninfected control group by measuring the levelsof some cytokines IFN - ?, TNF - ?, IL - 12, IL - 17A and the chemokine MCP - 1. The level of IFN - ? was elevated in serum of cutaneous leishmaniasis patients and reached to 54.118±1.740 pg/ml, then the level was decreased during therapy and recorded 34.421±0.984 pg/ml after 1 - 3 dose a then dropped more after 4doses and more 22.489±0.795 pg/ml compared to uninfected control group 5.092±0.805 pg/ml. As well as the case of TNF - ? which rose their concentration in serum of CL patients and reached to 98.145±2.925 pg/ml, then decrease after treatment 71.507±2.901 pg /ml, 48.381±2.379 pg/ml after 1 - 3dose and more of treatment respectively, while the mean of TNF - ? in control group was 13.173±1.388 pg/ml.An increase in the level of IL - 12 was observed in the group of CL patients 845.598±16.273 pg/ml then the level was dropped during treatment and recorded 619.164±20.209 pg/ml, 495.578±27.038 pg/ml respectively but in control the concentration was 160.222±11.761 pg/ml. IL - 17A level was elevated in CL patients 227.268±5.027 pg/ml and decreased during therapy reach to 170.512±5.481, 126.443 ± 5.565 pg/ml after 1 - 3 doses and four doses and more respectively. The concentration of MCP - 1 chemokine was increased in CL patients 111.0397± 6.985 pg/ml then dropped during treatment 71.084± 2.636 pg/ml after 1 - 3 doses then dropped more 49.543± 2.167 pg /ml after four doses and more while they were in control 12.268 ± 1.609 pg/ml. The results of statistical analysis showed significant differences between these cytokines and their groups at the level of probability less than 0.05.

المستخلص: جمعت 265 عينة من مستشفى تكريت التعليمي العام وشملت هذه العينات عينات سريرية لمرضى راقدين في المستشفى ومرضى مراجعين لها. اخذت العينات من المرضى المشتبه باصابتهم بخمج السبيل البولي وخمج الجروح والحروق وخمج الاذن الوسطى ولكلا الجنسين وباعمار مختلفة. انجزت هذ | A number of 265 samples had been collected from Tikrit Teaching Hospital (T.T.H.).These samples were taken from inpatients and outpatients suspected to have Urinary Tract Infection, Wound & Burn Infections and Mid - Ear infection for males and females in varied ages. The practical part had been fulfilled during the period from the beginning of December 2006 till the beginning of March 2007.Isolates diagnosed were identified depending on morphological and cultural characteristics. The results revealed 60 Staphylococci isolates, which shows 27 isolates (45%) were S. epidermidis, 13 isolates (21.66%) S. saprophyticus, 10 isolates (16.67%) S. xylosus, 3 isolates (5%) S. lentus, two isolates (3.33%) S. heamolyticus, and one isolate (1.67%) for each of S. simulans and S. hominis Ten (34.48%) of patients are located in the age group (15 - 30) years. while concerning the classification according to sex, females were (65.5%). Otitis media and Wounds and Burns infections, their ratio was high (61.1%, 53.8%) consequently both in males in comparison with females. Concerning the relationship between the infection and the residence and the level of education, the results revealed that isolation of Coagulase Negative Staphylococci (CoNS) were high in rural areas and in uneducated persons regarding the various infections than those live in urbans and educated ones. A of main tests were carried out in order to achieve the purpose of this study according to the planned goals, some of which are the virulence factors of Coagulase negative Staphylococci. These include DNase, Urease, Lipase, Lecithinase, and Alkaline phosphatase.The results revealed the ability of 67.5% of isolates to produce Alkaline phosphatase, and 46.6% of isolates to produce Urease, also 27.5% of isolates were able to produce Lecithinase , and the ability of 19.16% to produce Lipase, while 22.5% of isolates were capable of producing DNase. In addition to these tests, the test for producing ? - lactamase was done, 85% of isolates were positive to this test because ? - lactamase is one of the significant enzyme which are produced by bacteria since it improves the resistance of bacteria for antibiotics. Thirteen different antibiotics used for the Antibiotics susceptibility tests which show that most effective antibiotic is Nitrofurantoin (95%), followed by Amikacin (93.3%), Novobiocin(90%), Chloramphenicol(88.3%), Rifampicin (78.5%), Vancomycin (75%), Ciprofloxacin (73.3%), Clindamycin (70%), Gentamicin (58%), Penicillin G (50%), Trimethoprim (50%), Tetracycline (40%) and Cefoxitin (18.3%).
