Abstract: تم خلال الفترة من الخامس عشر من شهر تشرين الاول 2006 ولغاية الثلاثين من شهر حزيران 2007 اجراء دراسة عن وبائية طفيلي المشعرات المهبلية وبعض مسببات الالتهابات المهبلية الافرازية المرافقة وغير المرافقة لها بين النساء المراجعات لقسم الاستشارية النسائية والتول | An epidemiological study was carried out from 15th, October 2006 to 30th, June 2007 for prevalence of Trichomonas vaginalis parasite and some causative agents of secretary vaginal inflammations associated or non - associated with the parasite among women attending the department of Obstetrics and Gynecology in two General hospitals in Kirkuk city and Tikrit teaching hospital in Tikrit city. A total of 300 samples (200 in Kirkuk, 100 in Tikrit) were colle - cted from (15 - 47) years old women. Two swabs were taken from the vaginal (high vaginal) and the lining of uterus cervix (endocervical) for each woman by Gynecologic physician. A gross examination of the swabs was done to determine the color of vaginal secretions and measurement of pH. A wet preparation was done from the (high vaginal swab) and examined microscopically for diagnosis of Trichomonas vaginalis and Candida spp. In addition a Gram stain smear was prepared from a portion of the same swab and examined by oil - immersion for diagnosis of Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Trichomonas vaginalis. A chemical test was done for the detection of Gardnerella vaginalis bacteria & Candida spores. The swabs prepared from endocervical were treated by ACON - Chlamydia Kit specific for diagnosis of Chlamydia trachomatis in vaginal swabs samples. The study concluded the following results : 1 - The infection with various sexually transmitted diseases agents were 68% , 78% in Kirkuk & Tikrit cities respectively (P>0.05).2 - The maximum infection rate for T. vaginalis was 19.5% in Kirkuk city & 16% in Tikrit city among co - infection with other agents and single infections.3 - The percentages of single infections with T. vaginalis alone for various age groups were 16.5%, 8% in Kirkuk and Tikrit cities respectively (P>0.05).4 - The rate of infections with various vaginal micro - organisms were in the following sequence : T. vaginalis (19.5%), G. vaginalis (18.5%), C. trachomatis (14%), Candida spp. (11.5%) & N. gonorrhoeae (4.5%) in Kirkuk city, whereasin Tikrit city the sequence of infection rates were as follows : G. vaginalis (43%), T. vaginalis (16%), C. trachomatis (12%), Candida spp. (6%) & N. gonorrhoeae (1%).(P>0.05).5 - The highest rates of infections with T. vaginalis only as a single infecting agents were 21.27%, 10% among a group age range (36 - 45) years in both Kirkuk & Tikrit cities respectively (P<0.05). 6 - The maximum rate of infection with the T. vaginalis were recorded among women with yellowish vaginal secretions without itching (37%), (31.25%), whereas in those with symptoms of copious secretions onlythe corresponding figures (30.17%), (18.51%) were recorded in bothcities respectively (P<0.05). 7 - The maximum infection rate with C. trachomatis in bloody swabs were (40%), (50%) in Kirkuk & Tikrit cities respectively correlated withclinical signs & symptoms. However, maximum infection rate with G. vaginalis was recorded in women with whitish vaginal discharge (60.86%) or yellowish (53.12%) then greenish (52.94%) in Tikrit city in comparison to Kirkuk city. The maximum infection with G. vaginalis were among women with bloody secretion (40%) followed by whitish secretion (30.35%). (P<0.05). 8 - The maximum infection rate with Candida spp. were recorded in women discharge milky secretions (33.33%), (25%) in Kirkuk & Tikrit cities respectively. Infection with N. gonorrhoeae showed different color vaginal discharge (P>0.05).9 - The maximum rate of infections with T. vaginalis (27.43%), (19.69%) were recorded in women whose pH of vaginal secretion range was between (5 - 6). (P> 0.05). The high vaginal swabs have been revealed to be more efficient in diagnosis of vaginal infection with T. vaginalis than endocervical swabs. The maximum rate of infections recorded by these swabs were (22.22%), (19.73%) respectively. The infection rate of pregnant women were (48%), (22.22%) from positive cases in both cities.10 - The maximum rate of infections with T. vaginalis were recorded in women using various contraceptive, women using intrauterine contraceptive device were the highly infected (33.33%), (31.57%) in both cities.

Abstract: The present study was conducted in Infertility unit / Babylon Hospital of Gynecology and Children in a period 21/1/2013 to 15/1/2014. The study involved communiqués tests for males and females complaining from unexplained infertility , in which seminal fluid analysis were normospermia. The study include 45 seminal fluid specimens used in connecting test (SCMCT) and penetrating test (SCMPT) with the specimens of cervical mucus of their wives. Cervical mucus aspirating in day 12 - 14 of menstrual cycle. The study aimed to evaluate the husband's sperm activity and concentration in vitro with cervical mucus. Seminal fluid analysis were achieved and then semen specimens used to performed two in vitro tests : SCMCT and SCMPT. sperm parameters ( sperm concentration and sperm motility grade a, b, c, and d) were evaluated in each mentioned test and compared the results with the values of sperm parameters in seminal fluid analysis (control). The statistic results showed 60% of the study specimens of SCMCT was negative and 40% positive, while in percentage of positive results was 33% and 67% negative in penetrating test. The results revealed a significant (p<0.001) decrease of sperm concentration and grade a and b sperm motility, a significant (p < 0.001) increase of sperm motility grade c and immotile sperm grade d in connecting test with cervical mucus compared to control. The results of penetrating test showed significant (P< 0.001) decrease of sperm concentration in the brim, medium and distal region of cervical decrease (p<0.001) of sperm concentration in both medium and distal region compared to brim region, and a significant (p < 0. 001) decrease in distal region compared to medium region ; A significant (P < 0.001) decrease of grade a + b motility percent in all three regions of cervical mucus area compared to control, while no significant differences (P > 0. 05) between brim, medium and distal region of cervical area ; Only grade C sperm motility in distal region showed a significant decrease (P < 0. 001) compared to control and both brim and medium regions. The results revealed significant increase of grade d (P<0.001) in brim and medium region (P < 0.01) compared to control, while there was a significant decrease (P< 0. 001) in distal region compared to control, brim and medium regions. The correlation (r) study of sperm concentration and sperm motility ( grade : a + b, c and d) with age and infertility period in SCMCT showed non significant (P > 0. 05) correlation, except the correlation between a + b grade sperm motility and age it was noticed a significant negative correlation (P < 0. 05) and positive correlation(p> 0.05) between grade c sperm motility and age. The study of linear correlation of sperm parameters in penetrating test showed a significant(P<0.05) negative correlation between grade a+b sperm motility and age in brim and medium region of cervical mucus area. Except this, there are no significant correlation (P>0.05) between sperm concentration and sperm motility for all grades (a + b, c and d) with age and infertility period in both brim and medium regions It was concluded that both test : SCMCT and SCMPT were necessary to diagnosis the causes of infertility when there were normal finding of both seminal fluid analysis and female criteria. mucus area compared to sperm concentration in control, also a significant

Abstract: Few studies on terrestrial snails in general, and garden snails in particular, existin Iraq. The group being important apparently for its wide - spread distribution in various habitats. One species of this group which has been previously recorded in Baghdad, is the garden snail Candidula gigaxii, class : Pulmonata, family : Hygromiidae.Available samples of the land snail C.gigaxii were collected from four locations within Baghdad province; a Taji, the Army Canal area, the Zafaraniyah, and Al - Jadiriya district, the study period of June 2013 to May of 2014.Environmental measurements were recordedat each site. Results showed that air temperature range was 10 - 34? C, soil temperature range was 5 - 26? C, pH range of the soil was between 4 - 8.9 and the content of the soil organic matter was between 0.3 - 2.0%.Snail samples were divided into seven size - classes according to the dimension of the shell and these were <2, 2 - 4, 4 - 6, 6 - 8, 8 - 10, 10 - 12, >12 mmPercentages of each size class were calculated. Having measured shell dimensions, shell growth index (Ia) was also calculated. The range of growth index value for this snail was 1.9 - 3.86 where the highest value was recorded at the Taji site in January 2014 which was probably attributed to low temperature range and high soil moisture and organic matter content.Results also showed that C. gigaxii favored soils with moderately high pH values and rich in organic content. Soil moisture appeared to be a limiting factor for growth; and a loamy soil texture for existence of the studied species. Average highest population density of living snails and empty shells were 44 and 32 individuals / m2 respectively. The overall population density was also calculated for the purpose of obtaining realistic population density of the species.

Abstract: The Fibroblast associated (Fas) system in the testes has been identified as a key regulator of apoptosis, a process that greatly influences the germ cell population of the testes. and the soluble Fas Ligand (sFasL) may be a competitive inhibitor to induce apopto¬sis of the Fas baring cells. Therefore, this study measures the level of sFasL in the semen of oligozoospermic men evaluating the association between seminal plasma sFasL and spermatogenesis.A total 58 oligozoospermic men and 29 normozoospermic volunteers were included in this study. They were attending the Infertility Clinic of the High Institute of Infertility Diagnosis and Assisted Reproductive Technologies, AL - Nahrain University\ Baghdad. Their age mean was 31.77± 5.48 years and a median of 30 years. Semen samples were evaluated according to World Health Organization 2010 standard parameters. The Seminal plasma was separated from the cellular elements after centrifugation and the supernatant was transferred to plane tubes and frozen at - 20 ?C till using for measurement of sFasL. These patients were classified into patients with severe oligozoospermia (sperm concentration ?5 million / ml) which include 29 patients, and patients with mild and moderate oligozoospermia (sperm concentration ranging between 5 - 15 million / ml) which includes 29 patients as well. The control group comprised of 29 men with normospermic parameters according to WHO 2010 standard (Normal volunteers). The sFasL was measured using ELISA enzyme immunoassay for quantitative determination of sFasL Kit. Data were analyzed statistically using Analysis of variance (ANOVA), Least Significant Difference (LSD) and Correlation Coefficient (r).The sFasL level was found significantly higher (P< 0.01) in seminal plasma of oligozoospermic men, with weak correlation of the level of sFasL with the degree of severity of oligozoospermia. Based on the results of this study, it was concluded that sFasL is a novel marker found in the seminal plasma of oligozoospermic men. It's level was higher in cases of oligozoospermia regardless of its severity.

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

The study was conducted at the Faculty of Pharmacy - University of Kufa, and included using of 30 rats from Sprague - Dawley divided into five groups : the negative control group, the positive control group, the group treated with organic extract, the quercetin treated group and the group treated with extract and quercetin together. The period of dosing continued for 7 days and on the eighth day all groups(except the control group) were poisoned with carbon tetrachloride. After 24 hours the animals were killed. The study lasted from April 2013 - until July 2013. The Liver weights of treated animals were measured, the effectiveness of transferase enzymes Alanine Transaminase, Aspartate Transaminase and Alkaline phosphatase and total bilirubin level in the serum were assessed, also the Glutathione and Malondialdehyde levels were estimated in liver homogenized. The results showed the following : A significant increase (P<0.05) in the liver weights, the effectiveness of the amine transferase enzymes, Alkaline phosphatas and total bilirubin in the serum of the treated animals when compared with the negative control group, while these parameters revealed a significant decrease (P<0.05) at the treated groups as compared with the positive control group. The results showed no significant difference (P>0.05) in the Glutathione level and a significant increment (P<0.05) in the level of Malondialdehyde in the treated groups when compared with the negative control group. Also, the results showed a significant decrease and increase (P<0.05) in the levels of Glutathione and the Malondialdehyde at the treated animals as compared with the positive control group. The present study showed numerous histological changes which resulted from the injection with carbon tetrachloride. In relation with the tissue sections which have been taken from the treated groups : with the extract, quercetin and the group treated with both revealed a protective effect for organic extract seeds of Trigonella foenum - graecum and quercetin drug on the liver tissues which had been poisoned and the best effect in the protection appeared at the group which was treated with the extract and quercetin together. From this study we can conclude that the Trigonella foenum - graecum organic extract and quercetin may reveal a protective role for the liver against carbon tetrachloride poisoning by maintaining the effectiveness of liver enzymes Alanine Transaminase, Aspartate Transaminase and Alkaline phosphatase and bilirubin level in the serum as well as by increasing the Glutathione level and falling the Malondialdehyde level in liver homogenized. Also we conclude that using Trigonella foenum - graecum organic extract and quercetin together led to double protection of the liver and efficiently as a result of the positive impact which resulted from using them together

Abstract: The present study had been carried out to elucidate the toxic effects of sodium fluoride on local rabbit males, this study involved determination of the histological Changes of some organs include (Testes, Liver and Kidney) , moreover study the changes in body weight of the animals and the percentage of organs weight and some blood parameters and biochemistry which include packed cell blood volume (PCV), Hemoglobin (Hb), Total white blood cells, Testosterone hormone, T3, T4 hormones, Glucose concentration, Cholesterol, Urea, Transaminase enzymes and Bilirubin - level in blood. Twenty local adult male rabbits were included this experiment their ages ranged between 10 - 14 months.The animals were treated with oral swallow for 12 weeks. The animals were divided into four groups : control group is treated orally with (0.9%) normal saline; First group was treated orally with 10 mg/kg of body weight sodium fluoride, second group was treated orally with 20 mg/kg of body weight sodium fluoride and third group was treated orally with 30 mg/kg of body weight sodium fluoride. The results of present study showed a significant decreased (P<0.05) in body weight of treated animals with dose of sodium fluoride 20 and 30 mg/kg of body weight, while there is no significant differences in the body weights of treated animals with sodium fluoride dosage of 10 mg/kg of body weight when to compared with control group. The percentage of organ weight to body weight showed a significant decrease in testis weights and liver weight, while there was no significant differences in kidney weight in treated group with sodium fluoride when to compared with control group. Concerning histological changes showed a reduction or freezed stages in spermatogenesis processes which timed with decrease in number of primary spermatocytes and secondary spermatocytes in addition to infiltration of lymphocytes, also found that NaF cause disorganization, denudation, and reduction in germinal epithelial cells of the seminiferous tubules and associated with absence of sperm in the lumina, also showed a decrease in radius of epididymus ducts and decrease in number of sterocilia and decrease number of mature sperms. Histological sections of kidney showed that there was a clear shrinkage of glumeruli.Histological section of kidney of animals that treated with sodium fluoride showed a mild blood vessels congestion, shrinkage in glumeruli, distributed in renal tubules and erode its epithelium with some apoptotic areas. The liver sections appeared appreciable effect with fluoride include dilation in central vein and erode to its epithelium, congestion in hepatic sinusoids with apoptosis and erode to general structure of liver with some of inflammatory cells and death in some cells which lead to erode of typical ray arrangement. Regarding blood parameters the present study showed a significant decrease (P<0.01) in percentage of (PCV) and (Hb) of the animals treated with sodium fluoride, while showed (WBCs) count significant increased compared with control group. Hormonal analysis (Testosterone, T3 and T4) showed a significant decrease, while significant increase of glucose, cholesterol, urea, transaminases enzymes for (AST, ALT) and bilirubin levels. Results obtained from this study and mentioned above may be attributed essentially to that of Naf administration results in sever lesion of male reproductive system wich may be aggravated with increase administration concentration of Naf.

Abstract: تعد الاصابة ببعض العوامل المرضية مسؤولة عن حوالي خمس حالات السرطان في العالم. وهنالك العديد من الاصابات الطفيلية التي ثبت دورها كمسبب او محفز لسرطانات معينة، الا ان العلاقة بين الاصابة بالاكياس المائية والسرطان مازالت موضع جدال ولذلك فقد هدفت الدراسة الح | Infectious agents are responsible for about one fifth of all cancer cases worldwide. Some parasitic infections are well documented to cause certain cancers. However, the association of hydatid cyst (HC) with cancer is a controversial issue. The current study aimed to investigate the possible association between chronic hydatid cyst infection with liver and lung cancers. The study involved three groups : the first group included 42 patients with HC, the second group included 35 patients with liver (12) and lung (23) cancers, while 25 apparently healthy individuals were recruited to represent the third group (control). Number, diameter, location and the status (calcified or non - calcified) of the HC were recorded from HC group. Blood samples were collected from the studied groups from which serum were separated and kept until being used. Enzyme linked immune - sorbent assay (ELISA) was used to estimate serum levels of anti - HC IgG antibodies, carbohydrate antigen (CA19 - 9), alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and ? - glutaml transferase (GGT), while Absorbance measured by spectrophotometric method was used to determine levels of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and adenosine deamimase (ADA).All members of HC group gave positive result for anti - HC IgG antibodies compared to 11 patients from cancer group and oneindividual from control group (Odds ratio =8.3). Both HC and cancer groups showed significantly higher p<0.05 levels of CA19 - 9, ALP, LDH and GGT ((76.16±58.26 U/ml and 110.77±96.47 U/ml), (131.81±76.65 U/L and 141.72±97.23 U/L), (244.24±117.94 U/L and 254.68± 115.56 U/L) and (95.06±66.73 U/L and 105.12± 41.42 U/L) respectively) than control group (10.81± 9.12 U/ml, 65.14± 25.21 U/L, 146.15± 37.59 U/L and 17.21± 6.87 U/L respectively). In cancer group, casp - 8 level (72.20±54.72 picomol/ L) was significantly lower from than that of control group (92.30± 41.20 picomol/L) and insignificantly from that of HC group (60.86±40.84 picomol/L). In HC group, ADA level was 47.84±10.65 U/L and was significantly higher p<0.05 than that of cancer group (10.14± 1.99 U/L) and control (16.09±2.70 U/L).Investigation for the risk factors which may increase the risk of developing liver or lung cancers in HC patients revealed that male, smokers and rural residents were more susceptible for such development (Odds ratios : 3.45, 6.982 and 5.48, respectively). Number and cyst size were significantly correlated with the level of anti - HC IgG antibodies (r= 0.539, P<0.001 and r= 0.618, P< 0.001 respectively), while calcified cysts associated with significantly higher levels p<0.05 of CA19 - 9 and GGT (105.03±88.9 U/ml and 145.46±101.57 U/L, respectively) than that of non - calcified cysts(65.91±39.87 U/ml and 77.17±7.23 U/L, respectively). Average level of anti - HC IgG antibobodies in calcified cysts was 19.75±13.11U/ml and was significantly P<0.05 lower than its counterpart of non - calcified cysts (85.017±76.84 U/ml). All studied parameters showed significantly higher levels in livers cysts than their counterparts in lung cysts. Results of the current study indicate that chronic infection with HC can increase the host susceptibility to develop liver or lung cancer.

Abstract: : توجد هناك عدة عوامل تلعب دور مهم في زيادة الاصابة بطفيلي المشعرات المهبلية وهذه العوامل تتضمن : اختلال مســـــتوى الهرمونات الجنســـــية, تغير الرقم الهيدروجيني للمهبل, بعض انواع الاصابات البكتيرية.الهدف من الدراسة : اولا : تحديد نسب وانواع الاصابات ال | Introduction : It have been founded that many factors play important roles in the increase incidence of infection with Trichomonas vaginalis these factors includes : disturbances in sex hormones level, change in pH of vagina and some types of bacterial infections.Aims : First : To determine the rates and types of Microbial vaginal infections that infected women in Baquba - Diyala province.Second : study of the relationship between the Trichomonas vaginalis and other microorganisms.Third : study the relationship between the Trichomonas vaginalis and the levels of some sex hormones.Patient and Methods : This study was carried out on 227 patients attended either Al - Batol Teaching Hospital for Maternity and Children in Baquba - Diyala, or some private clinic in Baquba city, most of these patient giving symptoms of vaginitis as a patient group, in addition to 10 healthy women as a control group.Patients group included married, widows and divorcees women with age range between (18 - 45) years, and at different educational level.Full clinical evaluation was done for those patient including history and physical examination. This evaluation revealed that 209 of patients (92%) had vaginal discharge, irritation and itching. Reguested blood samples were taken for laboratory test included estradiol, progesterone and testosterone. The level of these sex hormones in women with Trichomoniasis have been determined and compared with levels of these hormones in control group.In addition high vaginal swab were taken for microbiological tests. and used for diagnosis of Trichomonas vaginalis and other associated microorganisms, the rate of parasitic infection had been determined and it's relation with age group, marital status, level of education and level of vaginal acidity had been estimated. Moreover, the percentage of cases, with pus cells, epithelial cells, red blood cells and clue cells have been estimated. Results : the results of laboratory tests elicited the presence of Trichomonas vaginalis (6.3%). And in addition to it there is bacterial and fungal vaginal infection and the percentages were (54%) and (15%), respectively. Moreover, the results showed the presence of dual infections between the parasite and bacteria, the parasite and fungi, and bacteria and fungi and there percentages were (11.8 %), (8 %) and (4.9 %), respectively.Regarding age group, results showed that the highest parasite infection rate was among women in the age group (26 - 35 years) which was (41.1%), in compare with infection rate in others age group (18 - 25 years) and (36 - 45 years) which were (9.3 %) and (18 %), respectively. Regarding, the marited status, the highest infection rate was founded among married women in comparison with widows, divorcees women, and the percentages were (31.7 %), (6.8 %) and (14.7 %), respectively. Regarding, the educational level, the results showed highest rate of infection with Trichomonas vaginalis was among women with low educational level which was (11.8%) in compared with those with intermediate (7.9%), secondary (4.8%), and tertiary education (1.3%). Regarding, the pH of the vagina, results showed that the rate of vaginal infection were high when pH of vagina > 4.5 in comparison with the lowpH ? 4.5 and the percentages were (83.7%) and (16.3%), respectively. The results of direct smear and cultures showed that (25.9 %) of case (59 patient) were infected with Trichomonas vaginalis, (31.7%) of case infected with E.coli, (27.7%) of case infected with candida albicans, (21.1%) infected with Gardnerella vaginalis, (17.6%) percentages of Lactobacillus spp. (8.3%) percentages of Staphylococcus epidermidas (5.2%) in fected with S. aureus, (3.5%) infected with Enterobacter spp., (2.6%) infected with Proteus spp., (2.2%) infected with Klebsiella spp., (1.7%) infected with Acentobacter spp. and Streptococcus spp., (1.3%) infected with Pseudomonas spp., While the lowest rate was for Neisseria gonorrheae (0.8%). Also results showed that the highest percentage of dual infection with trichomoniasis it was in Gardnerella vaginalis which detected in 22 case (37.2%), followed by Candida albicans, which detected in 18 case (30.5%). While the lowest rate was with Neisseria gonorrheae which detected in one case (1.6%). The other laboratory tests including hormonal estimation in patients with trichomoniasis, the results of current study showed decrease level of estradiol hormone in women infected during follicular and luteal phases of the menstrual cycle, In follicular phase the mean of estradiol was (6.83 pg/ml) in comparison with control group that hormone rate was (42.61 pg/ml). In luteal phase the mean of estradiol was (27.00 pg/ml) comparison with control group which hormone rate was (87.16 pg/ml). In addition to that the level of progesterone have increased in follicular phase but decreased in luteal phase in comparison with control group. In follicular phase the mean of progesterone was (5.89 ng/ml) in com - parison with control group which hormone rate was (0.72 ng/ml). In luteal phase the mean of progesterone in infected women was (0.56 ng/ml) comparison with control group in which hormone rate was (19.83 ng/ml).Regarding, the level of testosterone, the results showed that the level had been increased during the follicular and luteal phases in infected women compared with control group. In follicular phase the mean of testosterone was (3.44 ng/ml) in comparison with control group which the mean was (0.24 ng/ml). In luteal phase the mean of testosterone was (3.65 ng/ml) in comparison with control group in which the mean was (0.30 ng/ml).Conclusion : The presence of infection with Trichomonas vaginalis, and it's associated with other microorganisms that are detected in the current study and other study previous may indicated a correlation between them. So those patient, constantly in need for a panel of laboratory test including : vaginal pH, and hormonal estimation as these factors may play a role in diagnosis and follow - up of the patients.

The samples were collected after 3 - 5 day abstinence period at fertility center Laboratories / ALsader Medical city in An Najaf province.For the period from 1/10/2012 to 30/4/2013.Because the studies about varicocele are rare, the present studies aimed to know the impact of varicocele on semen and sperm parameter, sperm quality index, Malondialdehyde concentration and the percentage of sperm DNA integrity.So, this study was aimed at investigation wethere the Varicocelectomy in varicocele patients could positively influence studied parameters.The research was involved examining 83 sample of seminal fluid for varicocele patient. The percentage of varicocele grades were examined and the results were represented 40% grade1, 39% grade2 and 21% grade3.The result were showed a significant decrease (P<0.05) in sperm concentration , progressively motile sperm, normal sperm morphology percent and sperm viability percent for varicocele patient compared with the fertile persons, while there was noticed a significant increase (P<0.05) in Round cells concentration snd liquefaction time for varicocele patient compared to fertile person and the result of this study were showed significant decrease (P<0.05) of sperm quality index and sperm DNA integrity for varicocele patient compared to fertile persons (control).The study noted to the significant increase (P<0.05) of malondialdehyde concentration for varicocele patients compared to fertile persons. The coefficient factor was used to investigate the correlation between malondialdehyde concentration and the studies parameter.there was increase correlation (P<0.05) between malondialdehyde concentration and sperm concentration(r= - 0.86 P<0.05) progressively motile sperm (r= - 0.938), normal sperm morphology percent (r= - 0.90 P<0.05), sperm viability percent (r = - 0.846 P<0.05) and sperm quality index (r = - 0.836 P<0.05), while there was (P<0.05) positive correlation between malondialdehyde concentration and semen volume (r=+0.822 P<0.05), liquefaction time (r = +0.828 P<0.05) and round cells correlation (r= + 0.89 P<0.05).Also the coefficient was used to study the correlation between sperm DNA integrity and other study parameter. The results of this study were showed positive correlation between the percentage of DNA integrity and sperm concentration (r= +0.88 P<0.05), progressively motile sperm (r=+0.78P<0.05), normal sperm morphology (r= +0.86 P<0.05), sperm viability percentage (r=+0.87 P<0.05) and sperm quality index (r= +0.81 P<0.05), while it was noticed in used correlation between sperm DNA integrity and malondialdehyde concentration (r= - 0.681 P<0.05), semen volume (r= - 0.67 P<0.05), liquefaction time (r= - 0.65 P<0.05) and round cells (r= - 0.54 P<0.05). The effect of varicocele grading on sperm and semen parameter, sperm quality index, malondialdehyde concentration and percentage of sperm DNA integrity was studied, the result were showed a significant decrease (P<0.05)of sperm concentration, progressively motile sperm, sperm viability and normal sperm morphology percentage, and a significant increase (P<0.05) of liquefaction time and Round cells concentration for varicocele patients grad1, grade2 and grade3 compared with the fertile persons. and when we are compare between varicocele patient according to type of grade the results were show a significant decrease (P<0.05) of sperm concentration, progressively motile sperm and normal sperm morphology percentage and a significant increase (P<0.05) of liquefaction time for varicocele patients grade2 and grade3 compared to grade1 varicocele patient.So the result showed a significant decrease (P<0.05) of sperm concentration for grade3 varicocele patients compared with the grade2 varicocele patients. The result of this study were showed a significant decrease (P<0.05) in sperm quality index and sperm DNA integrity for grad1, grade2 and grade3 varicocele patients compared to fertile persons. also it was noticed a significant decrease (P<0.05) of sperm quality index and sperm DNA integrity for grade2 and grade3 varicocele patients compared to grade1 varicocele patients but the malondialdehyde concentration according to varicocele grade, the result were showed a significant increase (P<0.05) of malondialdehyde concentration for grade2 and grade3 varicocele patients compared to grade1 varicocele patients and fertile persons. In this study the effect of Varicocelectomy on study parameters was studied and the result were showed a significant increase (P<0.05) of sperm concentration, progressively motile sperm, sperm viability percentage, normal sperm morphology, percent, sperm quality index and sperm DNA integrity and a significant decrease (P<0.05) of liquefaction time and malondialdehyde concentration for Varicocelectomy compared to varicocele patients. The result were showed a significant decrease (P<0.05)of sperm viability percent, normal sperm morphology percent, sperm DNA integrity and sperm quality index and a significant increase (P<0.05) in round cells concentration, liquefaction time and malondialdehyde concentration for Varicocelectomy patients compared to fertile persons.From the result of present study, we are concluded that varicocele has been negatively impact on sperm and semen parameters, malondialdehyde concentration and sperm DNA integrity, and the effect of varicocele is associated with the increasing of varicocele grading, while Varicocelectomy has been positive impact on sperm and semen parameters, malondialdehyde concentration and sperm DNA integrity but this result have not reached to similar state to fertile persons

Abstract: هدفت الدراسة الحالية الى تقييم النسبة المئوية لكروماتين النطفة غير السوي Abnormal sperm chromatin percentage لمرضى عديمي الخصوبة مقارنة بالرجال الخصبين ودراسة العلاقة بين النسبة المئوية لكروماتين النطفة غير السوي ومعايير المني ومؤشر نوعية النطف وتركيز الم | The aim of the current study was to evaluate the Abnormal sperm chromatin percent for the infertile comparing with the fertile men and study the relation between the Abnormal sperm chromatin percent, the sperm and semen parameters, sperm quality index and MDA concentration for the infertile normozoospermic and asthenozoospermic patients comparing with the fertile men.This study was conducted in the laboratories of fertility centers in Al - Sader medical city/ Al - Najaf Al - Ashraf from 1 / 11 / 2012 to 30 / 4 / 2013.By the end of the semen liquefaction time, the 72 samples were divided into two groups : - the fertile men, (17), and the second is represented by the Infertile Normozoospermic (23) and the Asthenozoospermic (32). The age average was (1.36±30.9) , (0.98 ±29.6) and (1.63± 31.4) years respectively. The samples were restricted to the non smoking patients only. The study results show a significant (P< 0.05) decrease in the sperm concentration, the percent of the progressive forward movement sperm, the sperm viability percent and the semen volume, and a significant (P<0.05) increase in the round cell concentration, liquefaction time, Malondialdehyde concentration and the percent of the abnormal chromatin of the Normozoospermic and the Asthenozoospermic patients comparing with the fertile men. The results also show a negative correlation (P<0.05) between the (MDA) concentration and the parameters represented by the sperm concentration, percent of the progressive forward movement sperm, the normal sperm percent, the sperm viability percent sperm quality index and semen volume. While it had been noticed that there was a positive relation between the MDA concentration and the parameters represented by the sperm liquefaction time, round cell concentration and the abnormal sperm chromatin percent of all the study groups. In this research the relation between the sperm chromatin damage and the other study parameters had been studied by dividing the samples according to the degree of chromatin damage. The results show a significant (P<0.05) decrease in the sperm concentration, the percent of the progressive forward movement sperm, the normal sperm percent, the sperm viability percent, the sperm quality index and semen volume, with a significant (P<0.05) increase in the liquefaction time and round cell concentration (MDA) concentration and the percent of the abnormal chromatin of the group (> 10) comparing with the group (? 10) for the fertile men, also the results show a significant (P<0.05) decrease in the sperm concentration, the percent of the progressive forward movement sperm, the normal sperm percent, the sperm viability percent and the semen volume, with a significant (P<0.05) increase in the liquefaction time and round cell concentration for the group (> 25) comparing with the group (? 25) for the infertile Normozoospermic patients. For the Asthenozoospermic patients the study shows a significant (P<0.05) decrease in the sperm concentration, the percent of the progressive forward movement sperm, the normal sperm percent, the sperm quality index, the sperm viability percent and semen volume, and a significant (P<0.05) increase in the liquefaction time and round cell concentration for the study groups represented by the group (> 20 - 40) and (< 40) comparing with (? 20). From the above results it could be concluded that the increase of (MDA) level resulted from the active (ROS) leads to an increase in the abnormal chromatin percent of the infertile Normozoospermic patients which had a negative effect on the semen parameters which could be a reason for the infertility for those patients

Abstract: العكبر (صمغ النحل) Propolis هو نتاج نحل العسل الذي اكتسب شعبية في الطب البديل وذلك بسبب خصائصه الحيوية، وقد استخدم بشكل واسع في الاطعمة الصحية. ان الدراسات المتعلقة بتاثير العكبر العراقي قليلة. ولهذا السبب, فان الهدف من هذا البحث هو تحليل تاثير العكبر الع | Propolis is a honeybee product that has gained popularity in alternative medicine, due to its biological properties and it has been intensively used in health foods. Studies concerning the effect of Iraqi propolis are rare. Therefore, the goal of this work is to analyse the effect of Iraqi propolis on some hematological and biochemical parameters in alloxan - induced diabetic rabbits, as well as study the histological observations of the pancreas, liver and kidney. Female local rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) were used for this study. The overall number of animals used was 30.They were randomly divided into five groups. Diabetes was induced in all rabbits, except normal control, by a single dose of alloxan (150 mg/kg, i.v.). Development of induced diabetes mellitus was confirmed on first week after alloxan administration by examining the fasting glucose level in the blood taken from marginal ear vein. Rabbits with glycaemia were treated with alcoholic extract of propolis for 23 days. Diabetic control group did not treat with propolis. The treated animals were subdivided into three groups according to the dose of propolis extract. Three oral concentrations of propolis extract were investigated (50, 100 and 200 mg/kg/day).The following parameters have been studied were changes in weights of body, liver and kidneys ; changes in the hematological values that include erythrocytes, hemoglobin, leukocytes and hematocrit also changes in the biochemical values which included glucose, total protein, triglycerides, total cholesterol, aspartate transaminase (AST), alanine transaminase (ALT), blood urea, creatinine and Malondialdehyde (MDA), in addition histopathological study of pancreas, liver, and kidneys. The results indicate a significant decrease (P < 0.05) in the body weight of alloxan - induced diabetic rabbits in comparison with control group, while there were significant increases in the weights of liver and kidneys. The present study showed that alloxan induced significant decreases (P<0.05) in all primary blood indices; erythrocytes, hemoglobin, packed cell volume (hematocrit) and leukocytes. Also, serum biochemical changes showed significant increases (P<0.05) in glucose, total protein, triglycerides, total cholesterol, AST, ALT, blood urea, creatinine, and MDA comparison with control group.Histopathological changes in pancreas, liver and kidneys, observed microscopically, revealed degrees of damage in the tissues, while these organs of control groups exhibited a normal architecture. The treatment with alloxan resulted in several forms of histological alterations such as cytoplasmic vacuolation, degeneration, necrosis, cell hypertrophy, nuclear diploid, diffusion of inflammatory cells, dilatation in ducts, stagnation in secretory fluid. in addition, hemorrhage, dilatation and congestion in blood vessels and disorganization of histologic architecture, Generally, the gradual improvement in blood values was noticed with the increase in concentration alcoholic extract of propolis and return back the normal histological shape of pancreas, liver and kidneys. Propolis extract in rabbits had a potent antihyperglycemic effect, antioxidant activities, radical - scavenging capacities, tissue regeneration properties, and that may be due to the high biological activity and nutritive values contents in bee propolis. In conclusion, the results suggest that propolis could potentially contribute for the prevention and treatment of diabetes mellitus.
