Abstract: In the oil industries, large amounts of oil sludge are generated through the refining of crude oil. The main reason for its composition that is when exporting crude oil various kinds of oils (heavy and light ones) are mixed together for the purpose of exportation. But , the mixing process between different types cannot be fully , due to the lack of homogeneity among different quality of crude oil . So, the heavy parts of oil are precipitated to the bottom of tank and with passage of time they accumulate to be sediments that’s known as oil sludge stated at the bottom of the oil storage tank in the cleaning process , oil tanks are emptied and discharged in some spaces or reservoir (pits) located near the tanks called "oil pits". Which are places of dump excess oil of various types of oil from different oil tanks or they are close places from oil / water separating unites .From these spots, samples of two kinds of oil sludge : the bottom of oil tank (during the maintenance of the tank) and oil pits (near the unities of separating water from oil) are collected. Also, samples of soil surrounding the oil pits from five oil locations in Basrah city are collected too. Those locations are : west of Gurna, Northern Rumela, Southern Rumela, Nahar Umar, Alzubeir.At the rate of redundantly for each location and for each type of the study samples.This investigation is considered as the first which conducted in Iraq which include firstly the isolation and identification different types of bacterial species from different oil sludge, and secondly use some of them in biodegradation studies for two kinds of carbon sources of oil sludge : (oil sludge of tank bottom , oil sludge of oil pits) .Oil degrading bacterial species have been isolated on a selective mineral salt medium Bushnell and Hass Mineral Salt Medium (BHMS), supplemented with a carbon source. They are also identified depending on the Morphology and biochemical characteristics; four genus of bacteria (out of 89 bacterial isolates of oil sludge from the tank bottom)Bare identified. They include : 32 Pseudomonas spp. , 27 Rhodococcus spp. 21 Bacillus spp. , 9 Arthrobacter spp. , Also four genera of bacteria (out of 101bacterial isolates of oil sludge from the oil pits) are identified. They include : 41 Pseudomonas spp. 27 Rhodococcus spp. , 22 Bacillus spp. 11 Arthrobacter spp. , , While 8 species and 3 genus of bacteria (out of 259 bacterial isolates of the soil surrounding the oil pits) are identified. They include : 41 Aeromonas spp., 39 Corynebacterium spp., 39 Pseudomonas aeruginosa, 36 Bacillus spp., 33 Micrococcus leteuc, 23 Enterobacter intermedius, 22 Pseudomonas fluorescens, 12 Micrococcus varians 7 Staphylococcus epidermidis, 4 Staphylococcus saprophyticus,3Staphylococcus aureus .The biodegradation percentage of the lost in the concentration of the hydrocarbon compounds of the normal alkanes and two compounds of Pristane and Phytane are measured. Also, the biodegradation of mole percentage of the lost in the area of the hydrocarbon compounds of the normal alkanes and the two compounds of Pristane and Phytane are measured for each four genus which were isolated from the oil sludge pits, and it is also done for one isolated genus from the soil surrounding the oil pits. The measuring process was fulfilled as a comparative study with the control flasks. Thus, the oil sludge (tank bottom ) was used as a source of carbone in the first experiment While, the oil sludge (oil pits) was used as a source of carbone in the second experiment . The incubate time of the experiment is 27 days during which a lost of the percentage of hydrocarbon compounds each 9 days are recorded by using( Capillary Gas Chromatography ). The results showed the biodegradation percentage of the lost in the concentration of the hydrocarbon compounds of the normal alkanes of the oil sludge (tank bottom ) with regard toCbacteria 73.8 % Pseudomonas spp., 70.3 % Rhodococcus spp. 65.7 % Arthobacter spp., 55.6 % Aeromonas spp.,51.5 % Bacillus spp., Whereas, the biodegradation percentage of the lost in the concentration of the hydrocarbon compounds of the normal alkanes of the oil sludge (oil pits) with regard to bacteria 80 % Pseudomonas spp., 74.9 % Aeromonas spp., 70.4 % Rhodococcus spp., 64.8 % Arthobacter spp.,55 % Bacillus spp., While , The results showed of the biodegradation of mole percentage of the lost in the area of the hydrocarbon compounds of the normal alkanes of the oil sludge (tank bottom ) with regard to bacteria 73.7 % Pseudomonas spp.,70.3 % Rhodococcus spp. 65.6 % Arthobacter spp., 55.3 % Aeromonas spp. ,51.2 % Bacillus spp., Whereas, The results showed of the biodegradation of mole percentage of the lost in the area of the hydrocarbon compounds of the normal alkanes of the oil sludge (oil pits) with regard to bacteria79.2 % Pseudomonas spp., 73.8 % Aeromonas spp., 69.2 % Rhodococcus spp.,63.7 % Arthobacter spp., 53.7 % Bacillus spp. It was found that there is approximately match between the biodegradation of mole percentage by using the area and those by using the concentration for each component .

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.

Abstract: This study was conducted on 20 male of Swiss albino mice, where the main target of this study was to identify the influence of copper nanoparticles (Cu - NPs) on some organs of the male reproductive system. Animals were orally administered with 0.1 ml of 100 mg/kg Cu - NPs for 7, 14, 21 days. Then the animals were dissected in the next day after the end of the dosing period and took from them testes and epididymis (head and tail) to study the parameters in which these particles have affected, and this parameter as follows : 1 - Changes in the weights of each of the animals bodies, testes, tunica albuginea, and epididymis (heads and tails). 2 - Changes in sperm characteristics in testes and epididymis (head and tail), which included : the percentage of live sperms, abnormal sperms and sperm concentration. 3 - Changes in the percentages of the spermatogenic cells, which included : a - Spermatogonia. b - Primary & Secondary Spermatocytes. c - Spermatids. d - Sperms. 4 - Changes in numbers of leydig cells and nuclei diameters. 5 - Changes in diameters of seminiferous tubules and their lining wall thickness. 6 - Changes in thickness and height of epithelial cells in both the head and tail of the epididymis. 7 - Histopathological changes in testes and epididymis (head and tail). Phenotype description of testes from mice treated with copper nanoparticles for a period of 21 days occurrence of congestion and a few amount of fatty material around the testes. The results also revealed a decline in the average body weights on the period of 7 and 21 days of treatment when compared with the weight of the same animals before treatment and the decline was significantly at (P<0.05). Whereas the testes and tunica albuginea weights recorded a significant decrease in their average weights (P<0.05) when compared with control groups. As well as the epididymis weights where showed significantly decrease (P<0.05) in the average of the epididymides heads weights for all three periods of treatment, while a significant decrease (P<0.05) in the average weight of the epididymis tail appear for two periods 7 and 21 days compared with control groups. The study also reported a decrease in the percentage of live sperm and the average sperm concentration and an increase in the percentage of sperm abnormalities extended to all periods of treatment compared with control groups and this change was significant at the level of (P<0.05). The number of leydig cells and nuclei diameters, the results show a decrease in their averages and all the extended treatment period when compared with control groups, and this decrease was significantly at (P<0.05). Treatment with particles of copper nanoparticle indicated a decrease in the percentage of spermatogonia, primary spermatocytes and sperms in all periods of treatment compared with control groups and this decrease was significantly at the level of (P<0.05). While the results of the study revealed a significant increase at the level of (P<0.05) in the percentage of secondary spermatocytes and spermatids compared with the control animals. The study also showed a significant decrease at the level of (P<0.05) in the diameter of the seminiferous tubules of testes and the wall thickness of the seminiferous tubules for all periods of treatment compared with control groups. As well as a reduction in wall thickness and height of the epithelium in epididymis (head and tail) for all periods of treatment compared with control animals and this decline was significantly at (P<0.05). The current study also recorded a textile damage in the testes and epididymis (head and tail), which summarized the crash of some seminiferous tubules, degeneration of lining cells in tubule, the appearance of vacuole between cells and lifting epithelium from the basement membrane. On this basis, this study has shown for the first time that particles of copper nanoparticles have a negative impact on the effectiveness and activity of the male reproductive system in albino mice.

Abstract: تناولت الدراسة الحالية دراسة تشريحية مقارنة لتسعة مراتب من العائلة القرعية Cucurbitaceae المستزرعة والبرية والتي زرعت في الحديقة النباتية لكلية التربية للعلوم الصرفة ابن الهيثم والمراتب هي : 1 - Citrullus colocynthis Schrad2 - Citrullus vulgaris Schrad3 | The present study included comparative anatomical study for nine taxa of Cucurbitaceae family for cultivated and wild types, which were planted in the garden of College of Education for Pure Sciences/ Ibn Al - Haitham. These taxa included : Citrullus colocynthis Schrad, Citrullus vulgaris Schrad, Cucumis melo Linnaeus, Cucumis melo var.flexuosus Naudin, Cucumis sativus Linnaeus, Cucurbita maxima Duchesne, Cucurbita pepo Linnaeus, Lagenaria siceraria (Mol.) Standl, Luffa cylindrica (Linnaeus) M. Roem. This study focused on some the anatomical characterization as compared study for the first time to these taxa in Iraq. This study included the features of ordinary epidermal cells, leaves petioles, stems, pedicles and sepals of the studied taxa. The results found the appearance of stomata in the stems and petioles in straight line as adjacent planar shape to the epidermal cells and not scattered as found in the leaves, this result was seen for the first time in the current taxa. Furthermore, the stomata have been shown in pedicel and sepals in same type as the stomatal complexes in leaves. The importance of phenotypic variation for the length and types of eglandular trichomes and the presence or not of glandular trichomes were found to carry out the role of indumentum in the different isolated taxa. Additionally, this study included the examination of the cross sections of the roots and also exposed the constituent tissues of it, the variation in the thickness of epidermis, cortex, vascular cambium as well as the arrangement of phloem cells have an important role in the studied taxa. The cross sections of stems, leaves petioles and pedicles showed shape and studied a significant role in the studied taxa and split them into groups.Moreover, this study concluded that the following of above sections from the outside into the inside has an important role to find out their constituent tissue. Thus the results of the study clarified the importance of epidermis tissue through the explanation of the outer and inner tangential walls of their cells and the variation in their dimensions, thickness and kind of stomatal complexes; therefore it has been given the importance of those features in the studied taxa in this study. Cortex tissue showed an extension of angular collenchyma and chloronechyma from stem to pedicel and have shown variation in the thickness in these two layers which was useful in the classification of studied taxa. Vascular tissues differed in the shape of vascular bundle, the number of rows and xylem units and the arrangement of the internal phloem, and all of those characteristics have helped in the studied taxa. In addition, the vascular tissues helped to find their arranged in the stems and found as vascular cylinder shape, while in the petioles and pedicel shown as vascular ribbons were which took the shape of sections petioles and pedicel. The medullar cells and medullary rays have been studied and also their similarity in the morphological characterization and function. Moreover, the anatomical features of the vertical sections of the laminae of leaves in mesophyll tissue have been examined, in the thickness of palaside and spongy layers in midrib, the variation in number and arrangement of vascular bundles have an important role in the studied taxa. In the current study, the ordinary and petal leaves venation and the type of venation have been studied in the studied taxa. Moreover the vertical sections for sepals were examined and also their similarity with laminae of leaves which was useful for studying the constituent tissues of some parts such as pedicel and sepals and anatomical features; and all of the studied characterization helped to study the vegetative parts through following them in studied taxa.

Abstract: The morphological and histological structure of digestive tract in one species of Iraqi fish that resides in Iraqi inland fresh water (Liza abu) was studied. In this study used (43) fish were in different lengths, the gut of these fish have removed to study the relationship between the length of gastrointestinal tract and the standard body length as well as for morphological and histological study. The value of relative digestive tract length (RGL) was 2.9. Intestine was the longest part of the digestive tract, the average length of intestine was (32 cm). The shape of the folds of the mucous membrane lining the walls of digestive tract showed some differences in different parts of digestive tract, in esophagus the folds were longitudinal running along the wall and it was straight, unbranched and the mean of their number was (9 - 8) folds. In the stomach the folds were longitudinal and (7 - 6) in their number, they were branched into fingerlings structures. In pyloric caeca, anterior and posterior part of intestine and rectum the folds were fingerlings in shape, unbranched and their number were (20 - 19), (27 - 26), (25 - 23), (19 - 18) respectively. Histological study was shown that the wall of the digestive tract is consist of four major coats, from the inside to the outside they were as follows : Tunica Mucosa which characterized by its clear three parts, epithelial tissue, lamina propria and muscularis mucosa. Epithelial tissue in esophagus was thick stratified squamous epithelium, in stomach was thin simple columnar epithelium and gradually increase in length in each of pyloric caeca, intestine and rectum and it was simple columnar epithelial tissue. Mucous which is secreted in esophagus is made of a large proportion of neutral and acidic mucopolysaccharide, while the mucous secreted in the cardiac stomach consist of a large proportion of neutral mucopolysaccharide and less proportion of acidic mucopolysaccharide, either, in the pyloric stomach is consist of very small proportion of both neutral and acidic mucopolysaccharide, in pyloric caeca mucous consist of a small proportion of neutral mucopolysaccharide and less proportion of acidic mucopolysaccharide, and the mucous secreted in an anterior, posterior parts of intestine and rectum consist of small proportion of acidic mucopolysaccharide and large proportion of neutral mucopolysaccharide. Lamina propria consists of connective tissue containing capillaries and lymphoid cells and it represent the basis of the folds, in the cardiac stomach it contains simple tubular glands. Muscularis mucosa characterized by the presence of muscle fibers that are not continuous, the higher thickness of this layer was in pyloric stomach. Tunica Submucosa consists of connective tissue that contains capillaries, the higher thickness of this coat was in the stomach and less thickness of this coat was in the rectum. Tunica Muscularis consists of two layers of smooth muscle fibers, the internal layer has a circular arrangement, the external layer has a longitudinal arrangement in stomach, pyloric caeca, intestine and rectum. either in esophagus tunica muscularis was arranged in inverse manner. The circular and longitudinal muscle fibers in esophagus were skeletal muscle fibers, and they were smooth and non - striated in stomach, pyloric caeca, intestine and rectum. the higher thickness of this coat was in the stomach and less thickness was in the rectum Tunica Serosa is present in all regions of digestive tract.

Abstract: الصرع هو حالة مزمنة تتميز بنوبات متكررة دون سابق انذار، سببها خلل في نقل الاشارات الكهربائية داخل الدماغ، وعقار Levetiracetam (LEV) من العقاقير المضادة للصرع، ذو خصائص دوائية ملائمة وتظهر فعاليته في تحسين السيطرة على النوبات، ويكون امتصاصه في البلازما سري | Epilepsy is a condition characterized by recurrent abrupt seizures episodes caused by the defect in the transmission of electrical signals to the brain. LEV is one of antiepileptic drugs which has appropriate pharmacological properties and show its effectiveness in improving the control of the epileptic seizers, its rapid absorbance, and its excretion through the kidneys by glomerular filtration and it is re - absorption into the tubular portion.Kidney arise from intermediate mesoderm and it consists of three execratory organs in all vertebrates : pronephros which is transient and present in all vertebrates, mesonephros which also present in all vertebrates embryos and their activity depends upon the type of embryo, and metanephros which is the functional kidney during life after the embryogenesis in reptiles, birds and mammals. The first signals for kidney initiation in albino rat embryo take place in the 10th days of pregnancy. The current study is designed to demonstrate the effect of LEV (350 mg/kg/day) on the kidney development of Albino rat fetus from the age of 8 - 18 days of pregnancy and its effect on the kidneys of the 3 and 7 days aged newborns. In addition to its effect on pregnant rat kidneys treated with the drug for 17 days. Hundred pregnant Albino rat (Rattus rattus) are enrolled in this study, classified blindly to 50 control and 50 pregnant rats are orally treated with LEV (350 mg/kg/day). The histological results of the current study revealed that there is no effect on embryonic kidney in fetuses aged 9 days of pregnancy, whereas, the pronephros of the fetuses aged 10 days shows death of the cells in comparison to control group. Moreover, the kidney of the 11th aged fetuses showed degeneration of the mesonephric duct represented by decrease cellular mass, death and hypertrophy of some cells comparing to the cells of control group. Concerning the kidney of the 12th aged fetuses and subsequent days, there is degeneration of the epithelial cells of the metanephros duct, their detachment from the basement membrane and their congestion in comparison to the cells of the control group. The kidney of the 13th aged fetuses showed swelling, damage for some of the epithelial cells of the glomerulus and collecting tubules, accumulation and shrinkage of glomerular cells, damage, death, and detachment of some collecting tubules cells demonstrated in the 14th aged fetuses. There enlargement of capsular space in addition to the most previous defects was seen in the 15th aged fetuses in comparison to the control group. Most of the previous defects are seen in the 16th, 17th and 18th age fetuses. Scanning electron microscope revealed nuclear enlargement of the podocytes found in the visceral layer of the renal corpuscle of the 16th aged fetuses (mean diameter 64.6 µm compare to 39.2 µm of the control group). Regarding the kidney of 3rd and 7th aged newborns, the histological defects seen in the latest aged fetuses was also seen and there was statistically significant differences (p?0.05) between the diameters mean of the glomerulus of the 3rd and 7th aged newborn. Whereas, there was no significant difference in the diameter of the kidney tubules of 3rd but there was significant difference of the 7th aged newborn. Regarding the kidney of the 17th day treated pregnant rat, there was enlargement of the capsular space caused by accumulation, and degeneration of glomerular cells characterized by loss of the nucleus, shrinkage of the glomeruli, and atrophy of most of them. Loss of the nucleus and detachment of the cells, and swelling of most of the collecting tubules. There was a statistically significant difference between the diameter of the kidney tubules of the pregnant rat and the control group. In conclusion, LEV had histological effect on the kidney of the 10 - 18 aged fetuses and on 3, 7 days aged newborns in addition to its effect on the kidney of the pregnant female treated with the drug for 17 days.
