Abstract: يتوارد الى مصرف الدم ضمن دائرة صحة ديالى العديد من الاشخاص الذكور, يوميا للتخلص من زيادة الدم (كثرة الحمر) , وللتعرف على بعض جوانب هذه الحالات المرضية : تم جمع 90 عينة دم من هؤلاء المرضى (54 مدخن, 36 غير مدخن) قورنت مع 40 عينة دم لاشخاص اصحاء, تراوحت اعم | Many male persons come every day to the blood bank labeled within Diyala Health Directorate to get rid of blood ratio increase(polycythemia). To shed light on this phenomenon, 90 blood samples are collected from these patients (54 smokers, 36 nonsmokers) and they are compared with 40 blood samples of healthy persons within the age range of (18 - 79 years) in the period ranging from Decembar.1st. 2012 to March.1st. 2013. A Hematocrit (HCT) criterion of 52% is used in the study as a sickness criterion.The present study was conducted to : 1. Measure the red and white blood cells and platelet counts (complete blood picture).2. Measure antioxidant the concentration vitamins C, E in addition to vitamin D3 and Glutathione (GSH).3. Measure the levels of the Malondialdehyde (MDA). Results of the statistical analysis show a significant increase(p<0.001) in Red blood cells, Hematocrit, a significant increase in the White blood cells (p<0.05), a significant increase(p<0.001) in the (Neutrophils, Monocytes and Esophils) while the mean of Lymphocytes and Basophils counts show a significant decrease (p<0.001) compared to the control group. Blood platelet did not show significant variations between the control and sick patient groups. Upon splitting the patients group to smokers and nonsmokers, results of the statistical analysis reflect a significant increase of (p<0.05) in the Hemoglobin of nonsmokers with polycythemia compared to the control group and to smokers. The platelets count did not mirror any significant variations between the patients and control groups despite the increase in platelet numbers in persons with polycythemia group that are nonsmokers and a decrease in smokers patients. Results of the statistical analysis also show a significant increase of MDA levels in patients with polycythemia (p<0.001) compared to the control group especially in the nonsmokers which signals an increase in lipid peroxides and reactive oxygen species. Results of the statistical analysis show a significant decrease of (p<0.001) in the levels of vitamin C in the patients with polycythemia, the smokers as well as the nonsmokers polycythemia sub groups compared to the control group which refers to the notion that the vitamin E free radical attacks vitamin C to remake vitamin E. in this case vitamin C is consumed and vitamin E will be remodeled. There is a significant decrease (p<0.001) in the mean vitamin D3 in patients with polycythemia compared to the control group. Vitamin D3 has an impact on Red and White blood cells inside of the bone marrow, this matter sheds light on the probability of this impact of vitamin D3 on the pathogenesis of polycythemia. The results of statistical analysis did not show significant differences in the means of vitamin E and GSH levels. The present study revealed a positive relationship between vitamin D3 levels and Red Blood Cells counts, In addition there was a negative correlation of vitamin D3 with Mean Corpuscular Volume (MCV) in total polycythemia group and polycythemia smokers sub groups.

Abstract: تمثل الدراسة الحالية دراسة التركيب المظهري والنسجي وكيميائية النسيج للقناة الهضمية للحمام البري فاختة النخيل Streptopelia senegalensis, لثمان عينات من النماذج الحية البالغة من الحمام البري التي تم اصطيادها حية باطوال مختلفة, وبعد تخديرها بمادة الكلورفورم, | The present study represent the Anatomical, Histological and Histochemical structures of the alimentary canal in the laughing dove Streptopelia senegalensis, for eight adult specimens of these wild birds were trapped alive in different lengths, The specimens were anaesthetized by chloroform, and then carefully dissected for studying the gross anatomy, the alimentary canal from the proximal esophagus to the cloaca was carefully removed from the body cavity, lengths have been taken for alimentary canal and for each part of it, the alimentary canal divided into small pieces for each part, then fixated with Bouin's solution for general histological studies.Transverse sections of the different studied samples were cut at thickness of 5 - 7microns and the prepared sections were stained with routine stains Haematoxylin and Eosina and special stains for histochemical studies ( (Periodic acid - Schiff (PAS) technique, Alcian blue - PAS method and the Mercury bromophenol blue) ). The present Anatomical study showed the esophagus as long tubular organ, the cervical part of it is longer than the thoracic part and the crop was merely enlargement sac in shape which locate at the entrance of the thorax. The stomach is differentiated into a glandular proventriculus and a muscular ventriculus or gizzard.The small intestine distinguish into duodenum, jejunum and ileum which is the longest part of it, whereas the caeca are very small pair, and the rectum is short tube which end with cloaca, the last part of the alimentary tract. The histological study revealed that the alimentary tract composed of usual four layers; tunica mucosa, tunica sub mucosa, tunica muscular and tunica adventitia or serosa. The mucosal layer of esophagus was arranged in folds which was longer in the cervical part and constituted by nonkertenized stratified squamous epithelium, esophageal glands found just in submucosal tunica of the thoracic part. The crop has the same histological structure as in esophagus but it’s folds are less high than them in esophagus and there is no glands on it. The superior gastric glands of proventriculus were simple tubular glands and the deep gastric glands were compound alveoli glands which involve the submucosa tunica.A thick layer of koilen covers the mucosa of the ventriculus it’s lamina propria had loose connective tissue with simple alveolar glands. The villi of small intestine become shorter toward the rectum, which lining by simple columnar epithelium with striated border, and contain goblet cells which gradually increase in number frequently from the duodenum to the rectum. The histochemical studies revealed that PAS and alcian blue / PAS stains were given positive react in the esophageal glands, mucosa layer of esophagus, crop, stomach, and superior gastric glands and the goblet cells of small intestine and rectum. whereas the alcian blue / PAS were givin weak react in deep gastric glands in the provetriculus and gastric gland of gizzard but goblet cells were givin positive react in small intestine and rectum.Proteins were observed in the mucosa layer of esophagus, glandular stomach, intestine and rectum, when they had taken positive react with Mercuric bromophenol blue stain, but the reaction appeared weak in esophagea glands, intestinal glands and goblet cells.

Abstract: هدفت الدراسة الحالية الى تحديد عدد من العوامل المسببة للعقم لدى عدد من النساء في محافظة صلاح الدين. بدات الدراسة من ايلول (2008) ولغاية اب (2009), وحددت نسبة العقم الاولي (%55) والعقم الثانوي (%45) لعينة الدراسة التي شملت 400 عينة عشوائية للنساء المصابات | This study goaled to determine the causes of the infertility in a number of women in Salah - El - Din governorate. The study began in September (2008) until August (2009), the primary infertility was (55%) and the secondary infertility was (45%). The study sample, which included random sample of 400 infertile women aged (15 - 45) years. Whom reviews in Educational Tikrit Hospital and many external women clinics in Tikrit city. The studied samples are compared with 50 healthy women as a controlling group. The age groups of infected women are specified as highest average within (21 - 25) years then from (26 - 30) years then from (31 - 35) years respectively. The study included a cellular classification by using sex chromatin as an indicater of fertile degree (sex chromatin as a guide to classify women by examing Neutrophil polynucleated cells). So wamen were distributed to : Supper female (have 2 sex chromatin), Normal female (have 1sex chromatin) , and Abnormal female (with out sex chromatin).The results showded 4% and 44.75% and 51.25% respectively. Respect to sex chromatin the results revealed high significant levels (P <0.01) and (P <0.05) of prolactin and (LH) in cons. for Abnormal and Normal infertile women. While the same results and levels happened in FSH and Proges. Conc. In Abnormal and Normal infertile women in comparison with the controlling group.this study showed no significant at level (P >0.05) for Estrogen E2 besides there is no significant in comparing infertile women of Supper female with the control group. Concerning biochemical factors and their relation with sex chromatin, it is shown that there is a difference at (P<0.01) (P<0.05) for normal and a bnormal group in comparison with the controlling group, at level LDL, VLDL and total protein between high and low but there is no difference at level HDL, Tri and Chol The study of reproductive hormones (FSH) and (LH) (PRL) and (E2) had been measured at 13 - 14 days of the menstrual cycle of infertile women. And progesterone hormone conc. had been measured at 21 days of the menstrual cycle. The results showded high significant conc. of PRL, LH and Proge. at level (P<0.01) in comparison with control group while their was not significant changes when the infertile women with the control group for FSH and estrogen conc. Respect to the biochemical factors have shown through fat parameter cholesterol, triglyceride, low density lipoprotein - cholesterol very low density lipoprotein - cholesterol and total protein have shown high levels (P<0.01) for infertile women in comparison with control group. While high density lipoprotein - cholesterol and glucose conc. Albumin, conc. and globulin show no significant changes in comparison with the control group. Besides this study has revealed a high levels (P<0.01) at PCV % for normal female in comparison with infertile female but through Hb there is no significant differences. It is also shown that the average of women with poor ovarian is 69.25 % while the block of fallopian tubes line was 18.75% for the endometrosis 4% and unknown infertile female causes were 8%. Then results also show the average of 36% of infertile female who are infected with hyperprolactinemea, results show that they are about 23% who suffer from Polycystic ovary syndrome PCOS. Also the Body Mass Index (BMI) showed high significant level (P<0.01) infertile women compared with the control and the same results happened with the age.

Due to little identification studies available about this group, and the absence of Iraqi checklist of species, the idea of the current study came, which concerned with the community of aquatic oligochaetes worms in the middle sector of the Euphrates River. Three sites have been chosen for this purpose, the first site is on the Euphrates River in the district of River at Al - Mussayab city (S1) and two streams branched from it, including Al - Mashroo'a stream (S2) and Abu - alasafeer stream (S3).These sites are characterized by sediment texture ranged from silt - sandy sediment in S1, sandy in S2 and Sandy - Clay in S3, the percentage of organic matter in the sediment ranged between1.8 - 2.6 % in S1, 0.7 - 1.9% in S2, and 4.8 - 6.4 % in S3. As far as plants concern, the presence of reed plant Phragmites australis, Potamgeton crispus plant, Hydrilla verticellata plant, and some filamentous algae in all study sites.Total of 1720 individuals of aquatic oligochaeta have been sorted out during the study period from all sites representing 37 species belong to the family Lumbricidae, Tubificoid naidid worms, Naidid worms of subfamily Naidinae and subfamily Pristininae, and finally, family Aeolosomatidae. Eleven species were considered as new records for Iraq. Regarding study sites, S2 recorded a least number of individuals and number of species, while the number of individuals and number of species were converged at S1 and S3. Results of the Species Richness Index showed that the highest value was recorded at the S3 and reached 8.37, while Species Uniformity Index, ranged between the highest value of 1.88 at the S3 and lowest value of 1.60 in S2, and finally in S1 it was 0.85. Shannon - Weiner diversity Index, recorded its highest value of 6.33 bits / individual in the S3, and lowest value has in of 2.78bits/individual in S1, but it was 4.80 bit / individual in S2. The Results of Jacquard Presence - Community values of similarity showed that the highest degree of similarity is (58.62%) recorded betwen S1 and S2. One species of family Lumbricidae was recorded that is Eiseniella tetraedra in S2.This family recorded a percentage of 3% of the total isolated worms. Total of 584 individuals of Tubificoid naidid worms were sorted with a percentage 34% of the total number of worms and they were identify as nine species included Limnodrilus hoffmeisteri, L. profundicola, L.claparedeanus, Tubifex tubifex, Aulodrilus pigueti, Peloescolex tenuis, Potamothrix hammoniensi, Rhyacodrilus coccineus, and finally Branchiura sowerbyi which recorded the highest percentage of 65.24% of the total tubificoid naidid worms with the highest frequency of 100%, followed by L. hoffmeisteri with a percentage of 16.95% and the frequency percentage of 85.19%, while the remaining species recorded close proportions ranged between 1 - 2%. Peloscolex tenuis was considered as a new record for Iraq, where10 individuals of this species were sorted with a percentage of 1.71%, and a frequency percentage of 3.70 %.Total of 47 individuals of subfamily Pristininae, were sorted, represented five species, including two species of genus Pristinella, P obsorni, and P. sima, and three species of genus Pristina, identified as, P. longiseta, P. aequiseta, and P. foreli, with a highest percentage of 53.19%, and a highest frequency of 14.81% were recorded by P. longiseta. A total of 788 individuals of subfamily Naidinae were sorted represent 20 specie includes Chaetogaster diastrophus, Stephensoniana trivandrana Paranais litoralis, P.frici, Ophidonais serpentina, Slavina appendiculata, S.isochaeta, Specaria josinae, Stylaria lacustris S. fossularis, Dero(Dero) evelinae, D.(D.) nivea, D.

Abstract: يتميز سن الياس (Menopause) لدى الاناث بتوقف الحيض وتصبح الانثى غير خصبة بسبب فقدان جميع الحويصلات المبيضية (Ovarian follicles) والانخفاض الشديد لهرموني الاستروجين والبروجسترون صممت الدراسة الحالية لفحص الاضطرابات الفسلجية المختلفة والتي تشمل بعض المعايير | Menopause marks the time in women's life when her menstruation stop and she is no longer fertile because of exhaustion of ovarian follicles and sharply decrease in ovarian production of estrogen and progesterone.The present study was designated to determinate different physiological disturbances which occurring in some hematological and biochemical parameters of postmenopausal women. A total number used was 130 women, 100 women were postmenopause and subdivided into four age groups (46 - 50 year, 51 - 55 year, 56 - 60 year, and 61 - 65 year). Thirteen women were premenopause , used as a control group, their ages ranged between 20 - 30 years. In all age groups of postmenopausal women, it have been found that the levels of estradiol hormone were progressioly decreased (p<0.05) when compared with control group. Regarding hematological parameters, RBCs count was insignificantly increase (p>0.05) in all age groups of postmenopausal women. Levels of hemoglobin concentrations and packed cell volume were significantly increased (p<0.05) in all age groups of postmenopausal women compare to control groups. Blood platelets count recorded insignificant fall (p>0.05) in most age groups of postmenopausal women.As for, red blood indices (MCV, MCH, and MCHC) explained insignificant differences (p>0.05) of most menopausal women in a comparison with those control group. Total white blood cells have insignificant elevation (p>0.05) of most groups except 56 - 60 years groups. Regard to differential white blood cells, Levels of lymphocytes and monocyte have been showed insignificant drop (p>0.05) of the level of lymphocytes and significant increase (p<0.05) of first and second age groups in the levels of monocytes of postmenopausal women. Granulocytes white blood cells have been indicated different changes : Nentrophils were significantly higher (p<0.05)in all age groups of postmenopausal women, where as, eosinophils and basophils were insignificantly different (p>0.05) in most age groups. Concerning biochemical changes, Total serum proteins, Albumin, and globulin have been showed significant lowering (p<0.05) in all age groups of postmenopausal women. Statistical analyses showed a significant rise (p<0.05) of serum uric acid and urea levels in most group of postmenopausal women. Measurments of enzyme activities involved in liver (ALT and AST) were significantly hightened (p<0.05) in most age groups of postmenopausal women, Whil, ALP activities recorded insignificant increase (p>0.05) in all age group of postmenopausal women. Determinations of minerals showing a significant increase (p<0.05) in the levels of calcium and insignificant increase (p>0.05) in the levels of phosphorus in all groups of post menopausal women. Analyses of electrolytes have been explained a significant elevation (p<0.05) of the sodium and non significant difference (p>0.05) of the potassium in all groups of postmenopausal women.The present study involved determination specific and essential trace elements, Levels of copper explained a significant decrease (p<0.05) in all age groups associated with a significant increase (p<0.05) of zinc levels in postmenopausal women. Inversly, Values of magnesium were insignificantly different (p>0.05) in all age groups of postmenopausal women. The present study selects specific parameters to explaine oxidative stress in postmenopausal women. Levels of malondeheyds were significantly elevated (p<0.05) in all groups of postmenopausal women, and correlated negatively (r= - 0.102) with level of estrogen. Values of reduced glutathione showed a significant decrease (0.05) in postmenopausal women and correlated positively (r=0.64) with the estrogen hormone. Analyses of antioxidants enzymes have been showed a significant decrease (p<0.05) in the activity of catalase enzymes of all groups of postmenopause. Also, the activity of glutathione peroxidase was significantly decrease (p<0.05) in postmenopausal women and its correlation coefficient was r=0.263. In conclusion, changes summarized above may be attributed to deficiency of estradiol hormone in postmenopausal women which resulting in different physiological disturbances and these changes become aggravated and exacerbated because of oxidative stress occurring in decrease of estradiol hormones.

Abstract: انواع تحت العائلة Tubificinae ديدان مائية حمراء اللون يتراوح طولها مابين 1سم الى عدة سنتمترات وقطرها حوالي 1ملم تنتمي الى العائلة Naidiadae، الصنف الثانوي قليلة الاهلاب، صنف السرجيات التابع لشعبة الديدان الحلقية، وتسمى عاميا" بديدان الوحل. تقطن هذه المجم | Species of Subfamily Tubificinae are aquatic red worms, their length ranged between 1cm to several centimeters, and their diameter about I mm, and they are classified with Family Naididae, subclass Oligochaeta, class Clitellata, phylum Annelida. They are commonly called "sludge worms". This group inhabit the rivers, lakes and ponds sediment, and some species also found in marine habitat, they are considered as one of the main benthos components specially in freshwater, with increase abundance in soft sediment rich in organic matters. Sludge worms individuals are hermaphrodite, reproduced sexually by cross - fertilization, eggs led in cocoon and hatched directly without any larval stage. They are also reproducing asexually by ArchitomyAccording to the economic importance of this worms as good food for fish, their ecological role as well known bio - indicators, little studies about their identification were available and absence of check list of their species in Iraq, the present investigation idea was come to concern primarily with sorting and identification of subfamily Tubificinae from River Tigris and some water surface in Baghdad /Iraq. For this purpose six study sites were chosen, including a drainage canal, North Baghdad (S1); three sites on the shore of River Tigris (S2, S3 & S4) ; in addition to site in Al - Jeish canal, East Baghdad (S5), finally the sixth site was from pond in Al - Zawra'a park, within the center of Baghdad (S6). These sites were characterized by sedimenet rang from clay, silty - clay to silty with a percentage of organic matter ranged between higher percentage of 9.9% in site S5 and 0.7% as a lowest percentage in site S1. According to water temperature, salinity and pH values, they were identical in all study sites.3628 individuals were sorted from 24 samples collected from all study sites. The sorting results revealed that the highest number of worms (1346 ind.) recorded in site S5, while the lowest number (326ind.) recorded in site S4. Twelve species were identified belonging to seven genera, and Limnodrilus was the most dominant genus. Five species were considered as new records to Iraq, which are L. silvani in S6, P. hammoniensis & Monopylophorus irroratus in P. moravicus in S2 and Rhyacodrilus cocciensis in S6.Five species of Limnodrilus were recorded, including L. hoffmeisteri, L. claparadienus, L. profundicola, L. udekemianus, and L. silvani with a percentage of 52%, 1.40%, 4%, 10.03% and 0.35% for each species respectively. Two species of Potamothrix were recorded which are P. bavaricus and P. hammoniensis with a percentage of 2% and 2.05% respectively, in addition to Branchiura sowerbyi, Psammoryctides moravicus, Tubifex tubifes, Rhyacodrilus cocciensis, and Monopylophorus irroratus with a percentage of 26.07%, 0.33%, 3%, 0.27, and 0.24 respectively. The higher frequency percentage of 100% was recorded by L. hoffmeisteri and B. sowerbyi.High densities of Tubificinae were recorded during all study period. Higher density of 6882 ind./m2 was recorded during in site S1; 4296 ind/m2 in site S2 ; 4496 ind/ m2, ind/ m2in site S3; 3730 ind/ m2 in site S4; 15218 ind/ m2 in site S5 and 7026 ind/ m2 in site S6.The results of relative abundance revealed that L. hoffmeisteri was the dominant species in site S3 and abundant in other study sites. B. sowerbyi was abundant in all study sites, while other species were recorded between few to rare species except L. udekemianus which was abundant in site S5, and T. tubifex in site S4. It was clear from species richness index, Shannon - Wiener diversity index, and species uniformity index, that the highest value for each index was recorded during cold months (Dec. - Feb.), 1.47, 2.83bit/ind, and 1.17 respectively, while the result of cluster analysis depending on Jaccard index of similarity revealed that the highest similarity of 80% found between S1& S6.The investigation also includes description of identified species and photos of identification criteria for each species. B. sowerbyi was easily recognized from other species by having gill filaments at the posterior end of the body. Species of Limnodrilus were characterized by the absence of hair chaetae, and they are differentiated by the shape of penis sheath, due to the close similarity of chaetal shapes, with the exception of L. udekemianus in which its anterior chaetae characterized by long and curved dorsal tooth. Species of Potamothrix were recognized by the presence of a pair of spermathecal chaetae, its shape was used to differentiate between P. hammoniensis, which have long gutter - shape and P. bavaricus, which have plade - like shape with triangle base. P. moravicus also have spermathecal chaetae but it was differed from that of Pomatothrix species by its long and narrow shape. T. tubifex was identified by its tub - shaped penis sheath, while R. cocciensis, was recognized by their penial chaetae in segment NO. XI, and M. irroratus by the presence of pseudopenis and its sheath.

This study was also used to know the effect of the extract in normal (healthy) female rats. In this study (54) female rats were utilized which were divided into (9) groups with 6 rats for each group. Diabetes mellitus was induced in (30) female rats, were distributed into 5 sub groups. One of them was considered as control group for the infected rats, and three groups of them were treated with different concentrations of the extract (250, 500 and 750)mg/kg while the fifth group was treated by the chemical drug Glibenclamide (0.6) mg/kg. The other 24 normal rats were also divided into 4 sub groups, one of them considered as control group. And the other three groups were treated with the extract concentrations (250, 500 and 750)mg/kg. The treating period with the plant extract and the drug continued for 30 day.Results of this study were as the following : ? A significant (P< 0.05) decrease was showen in total body weight, insulin hormone and HDL - c levels, total WBC and RBC count in addition to Hb concentration in infected group of diabetes mellitus in comparison with healthy control group.? A significant (P< 0.05) increase was clear in the levels of glucose, TC, TG, LDL - c, VLDL - c, urea, creatinine and ALT and AST enzymes in infected group in comparison with healthy control group.? The healthy rats that treated with the extract concentrations were showed a significant increase in their total body weight at the end period as compared with the first day of experiment, there was also a significant (P < 0.05) increase in body weights of the infected rats that were treated by the two concentrations (500, 750) mg/kg of extract as compared with infected control group.? The infected rats that treated by all three concentration of plant extract and the glibenclamid drug were exhibited a significant (P< 0.05) increase in insulin level as compared with infected control group.? on the other hand, it was also showen a significant (P< 0.05) decrease in glucose level of infected rats that have been treated by the three concentrations and the (0.6) mg/kg concentration of glibenclamid as compared with infected control group.? The levels of TC, TG, LDL - c, VLDL - c were significantly (P< 0.05) decreased, in contrast a significant increase was occurred in the level of HDL - c in infected rats when they treated by all the concentrations of plant extract as compared with infected control group.? The urea and creatinine levels showed a significant (P< 0.05) decrease when the infected rats were treated by the two concentrations (500, 750) mg/kg as compared with infected control group, while in the healthy rats, the urea level showed a significant (P< 0.05) decrease as compared with healthy control group.? A significant (P < 0.05) decrease was occurred in ALT enzyme level when the infected rats were treated by all extract concentrations and the chemical drug. But AST enzyme level was significantly (P < 0.05) decrease when the infected rats were only treated with the two concentrations (500, 750) mg/kg of plant extract in addition to glibenclamid as compared with healthy control group.? The two concentrations (500, 750) mg/kg of plant extract and the concentration (0.6) mg/kg of the glibenclamid drug caused a significant (P< 0.05) increase in total RBC count, and the hemoglobin concentration, while only the larger dose of plant extract caused a significant (P < 0.05) increase in total WBC count in infected rats as as compared with infected control group.In conclusion, the results of this study indicate that the two concentrations (500, 750) mg/kg of alfalfa leaves extract gave a good results, even better than the reference drug, glibenclamid for treating diabetes mellitus, in addition to ameliorate the metabolic disorders that accompany it.

Abstract: تعد الاصابة بقبل الارتعاجPre - eclampsia من الاعتلالات الخطيرة التي قد تظهر في الثلث الثالث من مدة الحمل اذ تتصف هذه الاصابة بارتفاع ضغط الدم وظهور بروتين الالبومين في الادرار. وقد ظلت اسباب نشوء هذه الحالة غير واضحة المعالم, اذ اعزيت بعض من اسبابها الى ا | Preeclampsia is considered as one of the serious complication in the third trimester of pregnancy. It is associated with hypertension and proteinuria. The causes of preeclamptic are still not well understood. Evidences suggested the involvement of metabolic related mutations in the disease. In the current study, the genetic mutations of CBS and MTHFR genes are studied as markers for the diagnosis of preeclampsia. Sixty preeclamptic pregnant women and forty healthy pregnant women as control group diagnosed by the physicians at Azzahra Teaching hospital for obstetrics &pediatrics in Najaf province from December 2012 to August 2013 The poly merase chain reactions technique was used to evaluate the incidence and frequency of C?S &MTHFR mutations. A questionnaire was conducted to obtain the information of the patients and the control group. Genetic mutation were detected by polymerase chain reaction (PCR)and agaros gel electrophoresis. The information indicated that the age of pregnant women, gestation age, previous history of the patients, family history and parity are involved in the pathogenesis of preeclampsia. The results of the present study of preeclampsia showed a significant increase (P ? 0.01) in patients (25 - 34) years old when compared with the other group. where the results found a significant increase (P <0.01) of Preeclampsia occurred during (33 - 39) weeks of pregnancy. And in the patients with previous history for preeclampsia there was significant increase (P<0.001) compared with healthy pregnants. Pregnants with preeclampsia in the family history showed significant increase (P< 0.01) as for women pregnant for the first time showed and significant (P<0.01) and constituted 8% pregnanst with preeclampsia who had diabetes mellitus. The extraction and quantification of cell free fetal DNA (cff DNA) revealed a significant (P<0.0001)increase in preeclamptic patients when compared with those of healthy pregnant women. It is confirmed by the use of an internal negative control through the monitoring of SRY gene (Y chromosome gene) amplification that the gene belong to the infant and 40 pregnant woman were followed up till the labor. Thus, 9 of them had delivered males, while 30 had delivered females. The wild type SRY gene band was obtained clearly from those of male delivery, but not from those of female delivery. Mutations of C?S gene were analyzed by theuse a primer intended to amplify a fragment of171 bp.The rate of mutation was found to be 51.7% and 5% in preeclamptic patients and healthy pregnant women respectively and Odd Ratio=20.31, P value=10 - 7. The C677T mutation of MTHFR gene was verified by the use of a primer designed to amplify a fragment of 198bp. The prevalence of mutation was indicated to be 68.3% and 17.5% in the preeclamptic patients and healthy pregnant women respectively and Odd Ratio =10.17, Pvalue =6.2*10 - 7. Results demonstrated the wide involvement of C?S and MTHFR gene mutation in the pathogenesis of preeclampsia, but they are no crucial for the development of the disease. In addition there are so many factors thatmay be involved in such development.

One hundred ninety three samples were collected, their ages ranged between (14 - 57) years.The rate of infection with this parasite was 9.3%. it was not associated with bacterial in a proportion 33.3%, where as 66.7% was associated with bacterial infection.Bacterial vaginitis represented 80.4%, S. aureus was the most commonly isolated associated with T. vaginalis. It was with a proportion 41.8% and was the most common bacteria represented 21.3% among other bacterial species causing vagintis. The sensitivity of diagnostic tests were variable since the direct examination was the highly sensituse test (100%) in comparison with staining using giemsa and gram stains, their sensitivity were 19.6% and 0.0% respectively. The most common clinical symptoms related to trichomoniasis infections were discharges with burning and itching which represented 44.8% and white discharge was 64.7% which represent discharge according to color.. According to epidemiology of this parasite, the highest percentage of infection was 14.6% in urban women with secondary educational level and with high socioeconomic level while represent 22.7% and 15.8% respectively and the highest rate of infection (12.9%) as recorded in ages group (24 - 33) years. In married women the proportion of infection was 9.4% while in women whom were not child bearing it was 15.9%. Also a highest infection rate 16.6% was recorded in women who using antifertility tablets. The present study also determined the relationship between the pH of vagina and types of infection since high infection rate was with parasite 91.7% and 97.4% of bacterial vaginatis at pH ? 4.5. The present study showed a highly significant elevation in E2 hormone valvo in pregnant and nonpregnant women infected with trichomoniasis while this hormone was decreased in sterile women infected with trichomoniasis and in pregnant and nonprengnant and sterile women infected with bacteria vaginatis.

Abstract: تناولت هذه الدراسة عددا من العضلات الهيكلية في نوعين من الطيور الطائرة (الحمام) وغير الطائرة (الدجاج). العدد الكلي للطيور المستعملة 30 طائرا, 15 من الدجاج و15 من الحمام تمت دراسة بعض الخصائص الفسلجية والنسيجية للالياف العضلية الحمر والبيض والوسطية وحساب | This study deals with a number of skeletal muscles in two types of birds ; flying (pigeon) and running (chicken) types. The total number of the studied birds was 30; 15 were chicken and 15 were pigeons. Some of the physiological and histological characteristics of the muscle fibers (red, white, and intermediate) , the percentage of fibers diameter in the studied muscles, and the change noted in the muscle weight with advancing age had been calculated. The species of the chicken in this study was Gallus domesticus , while the species of the pigeons was Columba livia domestica. The muscles that is used in the study were : pectoralis muscle, femortibialis, triceps, biceps brachii, extensor carpi radialis muscle, and gastrocnemius muscles in two age groups of birds; (3 - 6) months and (6 - 12) months in order to know the changes in the weights, numbers, diameters, and sizes of the muscle fibers that occur with advancing age. The aim of this study is to identify the three types of the muscle fibers their role in the muscle movement and the regions in which there is specific type rather than others. The results had shown that the skeletal muscles in birds consist of heterogenous mixture of the three types of muscle fibers (red, white, and intermediate) , and the white muscle fibers are the predominant type in the pectoralis muscle of both types of birds, and the size of white muscle fibers in the pectoralis muscle in the chickens in the first age group was 73.8%, and in the second age group was 82.9%. While in pigeons, the size of white muscle fibers was 75.5% in the first age group, and 75.4% in the second age group. In addition, the present study deals with the relationship between the muscles weights and the age of the bird in that the muscles show increased weight with advancing age in both types of birds and there were significant differences in muscles weight in both age groups (p?0.05), while the triceps muscle did not show significant difference regarding weight between the two age groups in the same type of birds. The results of the study also show the differences in the diameter of the muscle fibers, that is there was continuous increase in the diameters with advancing age and show significant differences (p?0.05) , but regarding pectoralis muscle there was no significant differences in diameters with advancing age in both types of birds. The results of the study also show that the pectoralis muscle was the largest muscle in the body of the bird, and the ratio of its weight to the total body weight was relatively large.

Abstract: The study consists of three parts related with patients of CRC as in : 1 - Molecular part 2 - Cytogenetic and molecular genetics part and 3 - Immunological part. In addition of their relatives of clinical and pathological diagnosis, genus, and tumor locations in 150 of Iraqi patients confirmed with CRC collected from Teaching Hospitals of some Iraqi governorates. The percent of male to female (54.66% / 45.43%) and the aged range of study were 16 to 80 years.The first part consist a study of five types of genes related with CRC represented by MLH1, MSH2, APC, K ras, and SMAD7 genes. Some of these genes develop with germline mutations as in MLH 1 exons1 and 15 so as MSH2 genes. While the rest genes related with a sporadic of CRC. All these genes were amplified by conventional polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for study the types of the mutations and their defect of these genes on CRC. The APC exon11and K ras exon1 genes were processed by single strand conformational polymorphism (SSCP) technique. The results of PCR - SSCP technique for two genes represented by appeared three types of bands, which were (AA), (AB) and (AC) bands. The important band was (AB) which constitutes the variability region represented by 84.2% and 44.82% in patients for both genes. The results of patients with mutated bands with high significant differences(P?0.05).compared with healthy control. Patients carried these bands subjected to PCR - Sequences technique. The analysis results for APC gene sequences were substitutions mutations type of single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) change Cytocine to Thiamin (C>T) at 1972 location of genome. While the analysis results of Kras gene appeared two types of mutations, substitution and frame shifts represented by deletion mutation and so as appeared stop codon mutation.The other genes represented by MLH1, MSH2, and SMAD detected by direct PCR - Sequences. The results analysis of MLH1 gene, exon (1and 15) represented by nucleotides change with high frequencies of substitution mutation through exon1 at different locations of nucleotides. So as frame shift mutation type deletion through exon15. While for MSH2 gene, exon 6 from 6.66% represent by deletion mutation. A spread study for SMAD7 gene, exon4 were done through 30 patients average age 52 years (male to female 56.7% : 53.3%) confirmed colorectal adenocarcinoma compared with 15 healthy. A mutation of 20% of (SNPs) were identified.The second part which represented standard conventional cytogenetic and molecular genetics were done through peripheral blood culture (PBC). The study showed increasing of mitotic index (MI) in patients with significant differences (P?0.05) compared with healthy controls indicating for increasing of proliferation of the lymphocytes division. The study showed some chromosomal aberrations with significant, the majority of aberrations were higher significant in dwarf and aneuploidy chromosomes so as elongation chromosomes revealed significant differences (P?0.05) between patients and healthy. The appeared of Polyploidy chromosomes, with significant differences (P?0.05), that’s seem to be good indicator for cancer disease. The molecular genetics alterations which dependent on cytogenetic investigation were done through deletion of long arm of 5 chromosome which APC gene is located. The test elucidates the importance of inactivation (deletion) of APC gene in elicited of colorectal cancer. The study of 20 patients, were investigated by fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH). The results showed 60% patients which have 5q arm deletion of (+). And (5%) have two deletions (++) which was a male aged less than 60 years. The results analysis explained significant differences (p?0.01) between studied group and deletion (+) of arm 5q. A correlation represented by significant differences (p?0.01)through dysfunction of APC gene deletion of 5q were found with high percent among sporadic adenocarcinoma 58.3%, with less in attenuated familial adenomatous polyposis (AFAP) and familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) represented by the (25%), and (16.7) respectively.The last part related with immunological test were done by detection of tumor markers represented by Carcino Embryonic Antigen (CEA), IL - 33 and IL - 31.These markers represented a confirmative indicators for colorectal adenocarcinoma which were tested by ELISA technique in (79) patients confirmed with CRC of male and female. These tumor markers in tested with patients showed high significant differences (p?0.01) compared with healthy controls. Another immunological test for detection of Human papilloma virus (HPV) type 18 E6 gene expression in CRC by Immune histochemistry technique (IHC) in 71 (FFPET) of CRC. The results of this study showed there were a correlations between patients and adenocarcinoma positive HPV18 E6 infection 43.7% of patients infected with virus, with high significant differences (p?0.01) and higher infection in female (67.7%) than male (32.3%). So as a correlations were found between HPV18 E6 expression and tumor tissue locations, explained by high percentage 45.2% in rectum.While a tumor marker was (CD8+) was used to determine its role in human immune surveillance in tumor regions of CRC so as with regions which were infected by HPV. The study revealed high significant differences between healthy control and studied groups which have (CD8+) positive infiltration in tumor origins through detection by (IHC).In conclusions diagnosis of CRC can be detected by special genes like K ras gene through professional PCR processing, compact with tumor markers, so as Fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) technique provides a precise method which can be used for detection of alteration of molecular and cytogenetic related with CRC.

Seventy two adult male albino mice were used in this study. The animals were randomly divided into four main groups, the first group was given distilled water (control), while the other three groups were given (100, 300, 500 mg /kg) of crude extract. These main groups were subdivided into three subgroups, according to the period of treatment (2, 4, 6, 8)weeks. Blood samples were collected every two weeks for physiological study, and samples of the liver and testes were collected for histological study. Treating with crude alcoholic of Malva sylvestris led to no significant increase in the mean of the body weight except the concentration (500 mg /kg). There was significantly increase in the liver weight particularly in(500 mg /kg) for eight weeks of exposure, also there was significantly increase in the average of the testes weights treated with Malva sylvestris extract specially in (300, 500 mg /kg) for all periods of treatment compared with control group. Malva sylvestris extract coused significantly decrease in both GOT, GPT. there fore the value of GOT, GPT considers as concentration - period exposure dependent the highest value of GPT was (300 mg /kg) for two weeks (2. 25±228. 04) IU/L compared with control group (3. 03±226. 02) IU/L. and the lowest value of GPT was (500 mg /kg) for eight weeks (4. 52±192. 27)IU/L compared with control group (4. 06±208. 77) IU/L the highest value of GOT in (100 mg /kg) reached (4. 10±63. 00) IU/L for two weeks compared with control group (1. 25±71. 23) IU/L. the lowest value was (2. 77±49. 83) IU/L in (500 mg /kg) with eight weeks comparison with control group (1. 18±69. 02) IU/L. all concentration of Malva sylvestris extract made positive changes in the value of testosterone with all periods of exposure particularly in (300 mg /kg) compared with control group. There were many histopathological alterations appeared in the liver tissue among treated groups which caused by the effects of Malva sylvestris extract represented by congestion, disarrangement of hepatic cords, beginning of necrosis of hepatocytes, infiltration of leukocytes, narrowing of sinusoids, increase the number of binuclei cells, degeneration, appearance of giant cells, all these changes were reversible. Malva sylvestris extract made beneficial histopathological changes in the testes tissue in all treated groups like increase in numbers of ledyig cells specially concentration (500 mg /kg) reached (11.37± 0.80) IU/L with two weeks comparison with control group(5.38 ±0.34) IU/L, and increase in the thickness of the walls of seminiferous tubules specially concentration (500 mg /kg) reached(29.46± 1.39) IU/L with compared with control group(20.52±2.40) IU/L. In addition the role of extract in significant decline in the diameters of seminiferous tubules in all treated groups compared with control group

Abstract: تضمنت الدراسة الحالية معرفة بعض التاثيرات الفسلجية والكيموحيوية للمستخلصات المائية للكرفس (Apium graveolensL) والجرجير(Eruca sativa Mill) والطماطم (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill) في الدم والجهاز التناسلي لذكور الجرذان البيض المعرضة للاجهاد التاكسدي المستحد | The aim of the present study was to investigate some physiological and biochemical effects of the aqueous extract of celery (Apium graveolens L.), gardeen rocket (Eruca sativa Mill) and tomato frait (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill) on blood and male reproductive so system of Albino rats (Rattus norvegicus) exposed to oxidative stress induced by hydrogen peroxide 0.5% with drinking water for 21 days using vitamin E, as well known antioxidant as criterion for comparison. For the purpose of this study, preliminary experiments were carried out to find the most effective doses of plant extracts and it was found that these doses were 100, 150, 250 mg/kg body weight for, tomato, celery and gordeen roket extracts respectively. Fifty rats (12 - 14 weeks age) were randomly divided to ten groups (treatments) each with five replicates.These groups are : Group (1) (control group) : Rats without any treatment.Group (2) : Rats treated with H2O2.Group (3) : Rats treated with celery extract (150 mg/kg b.w.).Group (4) : Rats treated with celery extract (150 mg/kg b.w.) and H2O2.Group (5) : Rats treated with Eruca extract (250 mg/kg b.w.).Group (6) : Rats treated with Eruca extract (250 mg/kg b.w.) and H2O2.Group (7) : Rats treated with tomato extract (100 mg/kg b.w.)Group (8) : Rats treated with tomato extract (100 mg/kg b.w.) and H2O2.Group (9) : Rats treated with vitamin E (500 mg/kg b.w.).Group (10) : Rats treated with vitamin E (500 mg/kg b.w.) and H2O2 Results could be summarized as follow : 1. Compared with the control, the oxidative stress induced by H2O2 caused significant increase in total count of leukocytes, neutrophilis, acidophils, basophilis, monocytes and lymphocytes, and in the level of blood sugar (glucose), Total cholesterol, triglycerides(TG), low density lipoprotein (LDL - C), very low density lipoprotein (VLDL - C) atherogenic index (First and second), Urea, Malondialdehyde (MDA) and percentages of dead sperms and abnormal sperms.This stress showed as well, a significant decrease in body weight, Hb, PCV, high density lipoprotein (HDL - C), total protein, Albumin, glutathione, sperm total number, percentages of motile and normal sperms, testes weight, prostate and epididymis weights and seminiferous tubules diameter. This treatments, however, showed no significant variations in activity levels of ALT and AST enzymes and seminal vesicle weight.2. In comparison with treatment (2) (rats treated only with H2O2) , the treatment of rats, under oxidative stress with celery extract showed a significant decrease in total count of leukocytes neutrophils, lymphocytes and in blood suger, cholesterol TG atherogenic (First index) blood urea, MDA, Percentage of dead and abnormal sperms and seminal vesicle weight.This treatment showed also a significant increase in level of Hb, PCV., body weight, total protein, Albumin glutathione, number of sperm, percentages of motile and normal sperms, testis weight, epididymis weight and prostate weight. However no significant variations were detected in levels of acidophils, basophils, monocytes, HDL - C, atherogenic (second index) and seminituferous tubules diameter.3. Treatment of Eruca extract and compared with the treatment of H2O2, showed significant decrease in lymphocytes number and in the level of blood sugar, cholesterol (T.G), LDL - C, VLDL - C and atherogenic (first and second index) blood urea, MDA, percentage of dead and abnormal sperms and seminal vesicles weight. The treatment showed also a significant increase in body weight, numbers of acidophils, monocytes, basophils, HDL total sperm numbers, percentages of motil and normal sperms and weights of testis, epididymis and prostate.However, no significant variations were observed in Hb, PCV, Leukocyte total counts, neutrophil, albumin, ATL and AST and seminiferous tubule diameter.4. The treatment of tomato extract showed similar results to that of celary and Eruca extracts except, a significant increase in AST enzyme and seminiferous tubules diameter was detected in case of tomato extract (i.e not seen in case of other plant extracts).5. Compare with H2O2 treatment, rats under oxidative stress treated with vitamin E (500 mg/kg b.w) showed significant decrease in lymphocyte numbers, Total cholesterol, TG, LDL - C, VLDL - C, atherogenic (first and second index), urea, MDA and percentages of dead and abnormal sperms.At the same time the vitamin E treatment showed a significant increase in body weight , Hb, neutrophils, acidophils , monocytes, total protein, glutathione, total sperms number, percentage of motile and normal sperms, and weights of testis, epididymis, and prostate.However, this treatment (compared with H2O2 treatment) showed no significant difference in the level of PCV total count of leukocytes, basophils, blood sugar, HDL - C, albumin, ALT, AST, seminal vesicle weight and seminiferous tubules diameter 6. The most important histological changes exhibited by the animals under oxidative stress were apparent interstitial degeneration, necrosis of supporting and spermagonial cells, separation of these cells in semicyclic manner from the basement membrane, decrease in spermatids (spermatoblasts) and mature sperms in seminiferrous tubule cavity.These effects (due to H2O2 treatment) were decreased to minimal levels when the H2O2 treated rats exposed to plant extracts and vitamin E, used in this study.7. Animals treated with plant extract or vitamin E alone (i.e not treated before with H2O2) showed no clear difference from the control animal (without any treatment) though some improvement was observed in some physiological, biochemical and histological characters of blood and male reproductive system of the studied animals The above results revealed that the plant extract used in this study play an important role in decreasing the harmful effect of the free radicals in the animals (rats) studied.
