Abstract: Toxoplasmosis is the general term for infection and disease in human and animal caused by a parasite called Toxoplasma gondii, this disease is prevalent among different categories of people , Heart disease patients are one of them. Because of the dormancy status of T. gondii, there is ambiguity and variation in the immunity of patients. This study aimed to investigate the immune status of heart disease patients infected with toxoplasmosis, to detect the prospective relationship between heart disease patients and T. gondii, and investigate the relationship between toxoplasmosis and risk factors which included gender, age, blood group, contact with cats, and habitation.One hundred fifty samples of blood had been collected at period from August 2016 till November 2016 from patients with heart disease, they lying or visit Heart Medical Centre in Thi - Qar province. According to gender, the patients divide in to (81 males and 69 females) with age ranging 18 to 82 years. Also one hundred samples of blood had been collected from apparently healthy persons as negative control ,dividing according to gender in to ( 55 males and 45 females) with age ranging 19 to 56 years . All samples of both subjects had been tested by ELISA technique to detect anti - Toxoplasma Abs (IgG & IgM) . While the positive samples with toxoplasmosis were tested to detect the level of interleukins (IL - 10, IL - 12 and IL - 17).The overall of seropositivity of anti - Toxoplasma Abs that scored by ELISA in the current study was 44% in heart disease patients are higher than those in apparently healthy controls 19%, and there was a significant difference between them. There is a significant difference between male and female, in the seropositivity of anti - Toxoplasma Abs that scored in controls, in male was higher than those in female. Presence of antiSummary toxoplasmosis Abs in all types of heart disease patients with significant difference among them, and the highest percentage of anti - toxoplasmosis Abs in Mitral stenosis( MS) was 55.8% , and the lower value was 30.3% in Myocardiopathy.There are significant differences between the age groups and the percentage of anti - Toxoplasma Abs in heart disease patients with highest value was 63.2% at age group of 61 - 75 years, and the lowest one was 26.3% at age group of 15 - 30 years. While no significant differences between the age groups and toxoplasmosis in apparently healthy controls with highest value was 19.5% at age group of 31 - 45 years, and the lowest one was 8.6% at age group of 15 - 30 years.The results demonstrated that seroprevalence of toxoplasmosis was significantly associated with close contact with cats. The percentage of seroprevalence anti - Toxoplasma Abs in heart disease patients and controls inhabited rural area was 52.5% and 32% are higher than those inhabited urban area was 34.3% and 6% respectively. Some blood parameters were estimated of both subjects infected and non - infected with toxoplasmosis. There was high significant difference at p≤0.05 observed in mean ratio of eosinophil’s number between infected and not infected subjects with toxoplasmosis in both subjects. While there was no significant differences in mean ratio of total count of WBCs. Moreover, mean of lymphocytes number recorded significant differences betweeninfected and non - infected heart disease patients only. The blood group phenotypes of the infected heart disease patients and controls highlight the role in toxoplasmosis infection and the AB blood group characterized by the highest significant percentage of infection. The results of interleukins appeared high mean levels of IL - 12 82.85 pg/ml in heart disease patients infected with toxoplasmosis when compared with control 60.97 pg/ml, and there was significant difference between them. While there was no significant difference in IL - 10 and IL - 17 in both patients and controls. The results also showed decreased level of IL - 17 in patients with heart disease. The increased level of IL - 12 in patient with heart disease infected with toxoplasmosis indicate to the activity of cell mediated immunity in those patients and may be lead to provoke an inflammatory status in the heart valves and muscle then worse heart disease to be sever and need complicated treatments

Abstract: The current study was conducted in Thi - Qar province to investigate of Toxoplasma gondii prevalence among renal dialysis and cancer patients by using Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay test and also the study determined of some factors that may affected that may affected the prevalence of infection, such as age, sex, marital status, place of residence and the contact with cats and a number of chemical dosing that exposed to it cancer patient or the number of times the dialysis for renal dialysis patients.One hundred blood samples were collected from renal dialysis patient and one hundred samples others were collected from cancer patient from two hospital AL - Hussein Hospital and AL - Habboubi Hospital for the period from the beginning October 2015 to the end of the month of March 2016 and prepared a questionnaire form for each person to get their information, as well as the collection of 50 blood samples from (healthy) as control group . .The results of the current study showed that the prevalence of toxoplasmosis in Thi - - Qar province in both renal dialysis and cancer patients and control group were 28% and 36% and 24% respectively. recorded results of Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay ELISA test results for a positive antibody IgG in both renal dialysis and cancer patients and control group 25% , 30% , 22% respectively. As for the IgM antibody study did not record any positive result in both categories of the study (dialysis and cancer) only control group was 2%. The result of IgG & IgM together in renal dialysis and cancer and control group 3%, 6%, 0% respectively. .The highest infection prevalence were detected in renal dialysis in the age group (40 - 49 years) amounted (26.67%) and less infection in the age group (60> years) with percentage of 23.08% . As for cancer patients, the highest infection prevalence in the age group (50 - 59 years) was 53.85% and were less infection in the age group (30 - 39 years) amountin 14.29%. .The current study recorded there is a significant differences at level of P <0.05 in infection prevalence accoriding to gender for renal dialysis patients as it was infection prevalence in males 35.18%, while in the females the infection prevalence was 19.56%. As for cancer patients the study recorded significant differences P <0.05 where the infection prevalence in females were highest compared to males where it was 38.59% and 32.55% respectivelyThe study did not show any significant differences P> 0.05 for the infection prevalence according to contact with cats in renal dialysis patients but the study found significant differences between married and unmarried where the infection prevalence among married 25.84%, while the unmarried 45.45% .The infection prevalence were in the City highest 29.27% compared to countryside which amounted to 22.22%, the study found that the increase in the number of times the dialysis increased incidence of infection prevalence it was 25.53% for patients who conducted the dialysis treatment more than six times and 16.66% for patients who have less than six times. In cancer patients, the study observed significant differences P <0.05 for the contact with cats and it was highest infection prevalence in the city amounted to 45.21% compared to countryside 11.11%. and recorded a high infection rates at married 37.90% either at unmarried did not show they have no infection by parasite. For factor chemical dosing show high infection rates in patients who have been exposed to more than one dose of a chemical 37.63% As for those who were not exposed to any chemical dose was ratios have 14.29% .and wasblood type B + higher infection in renal dialysis patients 40.74% either in the cancer patients were O+ highest amounted to 58.62 %The results of the blood Parameters which conducted for infected males by toxoplasmosis and non - infected had not noticed a change in the hemoglobin for both categories. As total count and differential white blood cells the study did not record significant differences in the renal dialysis patients except neutrophil blood cell was observed height in infected males than non - infected . as for Cancer group was a decrease in the total number and differential white blood cells except acidophilus did not record any change in its level. As the females the study results were that there was no significant difference for both renal dialysis and cancer patient except Lymphocyte found decline in infected than non - infected for cancer patients .showed the results of the current study for standards biochemical that there are no significant differences P <0.05 for renal dialysis and cancer patient in the case of urea, creatinine, the study do not found any effect of toxoplasmosis on the rates of both urea and creatinine. As albumin was observed to high at dialysis patients and low at cancer patients at infected with toxoplasmosis compared to non - infected either control group the study did not reported significant differences for urea and creatinine and albumin. either liver function the study did not find change in the level of liver enzymes (AST.ALT) in dialysis and cancer patients and control group (healthy) .The presnt study recorded there is no significant differences in lipid profile (HDL, LDL, VLDL, Cholestrol, Triglyceride) at infected and non - infected in renal dialysis goup either cancer patients was observed high (HDL, VLDL, Cholestrol, Triglyceride

Abstract: The present study includes the isolation and identification of some mycoflora from 40 soil samples in six places ( Remnants of fat - born, parks, edges of the river, animal wastes, sewage and rubbish) during October 2015 - January 2016 in Nasseriya City, Iraq. According to different environmental factors, the isolated genera were Aspergillus, Penicillium, Mucor, Rhizopus, Cladosporium, Sepedonium chrysospermum, Alternaria chlamydospora, Bipolaris, Chrysosporium, Candida albicans, Rhododendron flavum, Humicola, Geotrichum candidum, Fusarium and Acremonium. Three isolation methods were used. Dilution method, direct plate method, alcohol and heat treatment technique using the cultural media viz. Potato Dextrose Agar ( PDA), Sabouraud Dextrose Agar (SDA) and Potato Carrots Agar (PCA). Aspergillus represented the highest fungal isolates which represent 62 (37.12%). followed by Penicillium with 47 (28.14%), Mucor 22 (13.16%), Rhizopus 15 (8.98%), Cladosporium 6 (3.59%), Sepedonium chrysospermum and Alternaria chlamydospora, 3 (1.80%), Biopolaris, Chrysosporium and Candida albicans with 2 (1.20%), and finally Rhododendron flavum, Humicola, Acremonium, Fusarium and Geotrichum candidum recorded the lowest fungal isolation with one isolate for each (0.60%). The study was aimed to isolation of Penicillium from soil and assay its antibacterial activity. The results showed that dilution method gave a best fungal growth in comparison with direct plate method and alcohol and heat treatment technique in 25 ºC and pH = 6. PDA appeared as an optimum medium for isolation in comparison with other media such as SDA and PCA. The preliminary results showed that Penicillium sp. exerted antibacterial activity against Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria; Therefore, this fungus was used for production of antibiotic on Potato Dextrose Broth (PDB) medium. The optimum conditions were obtained at pH = 6, incubation temperature of 25 ºC and shaking rate of 180 rpm for 7 days to fermentation. Ethyl acetate was a good organic solvent to extraction of antibiotic which produced (3g/L) as white to creamy crystals. The characterization of the antibiotic product after extraction and purified by chemical methods included Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC) test, Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) Spectra and Mass Spectra. The Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) for clinical bacterial species was 1 - 10mg/ml.The PCR method used in this study utilized Internal transcribed spacer (ITS1 - 4) as a primer for identification of isolates. Two PCR products of the targeted gene of Penicillium chrysogenum isolates which locally named as (Penicillium chrysogenum F1 and Penicillium chrysogenum F2) were selected and subjected to partial DNA sequencing for the ITS gene to follow up the possible molecular relationship between these local isolates and what recorded globally in Genbank.

Abstract: This study is adescriptive exploratory study in Thi - Qar providence for some breast cancer patients . This study aims to assess the relationship between gene expression for each type four of the collagen (IVCollagen) and gene expression positive for both estrogen receptor ER - Eestrogen - receptor and progesterone PR - Progestron receptor and fairs tumor HER2 (Human epidermal growth factor receptor) By using chemistry of dyes immunological technique and the nuclear regulatory regions Argyrophilic nucleolar organiser region (AgNOR(. The present study addresses the identification of the type IV collagen content in the basement membrane of epithelial tissue of the breast cancer patients in Thi qar and its relationship to nuclear organization region and maintain its relationship with hormonal receptors and progesterone genetic factor and the extent of their association with the occurrence of breast cancer.Fifty tissue samples are collected from Hussein Teaching Hospital inThi Qar and some private laboratories in the providence each case where data included that the most important factor is age, where he found that the highest percentage of injuries, age (55 - 46 years) increased by 38%. And mixed samples, either partial removal of the tumor or the eradication of whole breast. After collecting samples saved each formalin concentration of 10% for 24 hours at a minimum and then buried with parafin wax and completed the work by histological methods own work.The use of special select number of collagen type IV and determine the type of hormonal receptor positive or negative and also used several positive pathological tissues of the tumor to determine the human epidermal growth factor receptor by using silver nitrate to study the nuclear organization regions. Results of the current study showed that there is a positive relationship between collagen gene expression of type IV and between fairs oncogene(HER2 human epidermal growth factor receptor), as observed the presence of collagen type IV in tissue sections of tumors with HER2 negative gene expression of genetic factor, and with the positive expression for each Estrogen receptor positive ( estrogen positive ) and progesterone receptor positive( Progstrogen positive).Results of this study also showesthe presence of collagen or lack in histological sections of the tumors with positive gene expression of the HER2 oncogene fairs as well as the non - existence of collagen in the sections taken from tumors with negative expression of estrogen and progesterone receptors. The results of the current study also showed that there is a clear positive relationship between nuclear organization regions and between Argyrophilic nucleolar organiser region (AgNOR) Fairs oncogene HER2, as it was noted the presence of many of the nuclear regions of the dye - derived tissue sections of tumors with positive gene expression of the HER2 oncogene fairs, while nuclear chromosomal regions did not appear in the sections derived from tumors with negative expression of estrogen receptor and progesterone hormone. The results of the current study also showed that there is a lack of positive gene expression of collagen type IV, the presence of a number of chromosome regions nucleuse (Argyrophilic nucleolar organiser region (AgNOR)).
