Abstract: ان بكتريا المكورات العقدية الطافرة Streptococcus mutans هي واحدة من المجموعات البكتيرية المسببة الرئيسية لتسوس الاسنان عند البشر من خلال انتاجها وقدرتها على تحمل الحوامض. ولها القدرة على تشكيل واستخدام وتخزين السكريات اضافة الى افرازها السكريات الغير قابلة للذوبان خارج الخلية البكتيرية. في هذه الدراسة تم عزل 13 عزلة من بكتيريا المكورات العقدية الطافرة من مجموع 25 عينة من تسوس الاسنان لناس تتراوح اعمارهم من 10 الى 30 سنة. شخصت هذه البكتيريا حسب الصفات المظهرية لشكل المستعمرة في الوسط الزرعي الملائم لنموها وهو Mitis Salivarius Bacitracin (الذي يحتوي على 20 ٪ سكروز و0,2 وحدة/مل باسيتراسين)، وبعد حضن المزرعة البكتيرية في جو من النيتروجين 95 ٪ و5 ٪ ثاني اكسيد الكربون في 37 درجه مئوية لمدة يوم الى يومين باستعمال شمعة او كيس غازي. اظهرت هذه العزلات البكتيرية بانها موجبة لصبغة غرام وتكون مترتبة على شكل سلاسل قصيرة او متوسطة، غير متحركة، وسالبة لفحص الكاتاليز، وبعد تاكيد تشخيص البكتريا بجهاز VITEK سجلت النتائج الاتية : بعد دراسة فحص حساسية البكتريا للمضادات الحيوية بطريقة اانتشار القرص حيث اظهرت النتائج ان العزلات البكترية حساسة 100 % الى المضاد الحيوي الازثرومايسين . درست حساسية هذه البكتريا تجاه بعض المواد الكيميائية المختارة : Azithromycin, zinc oxide NPs, phenytoin B.P, L - proline, oxalic acid dihydrazide, succinic acid dihydrazide, and adipic acid dihydrazide, Potassium L - proline dithiocarbamate, potassium oxalic acid dihydrazide bisdithiocarbamate, potassium succinic acid dihydrazide bisdithiocarbamate and potassium adipic acid dihydrazide bisdithiocarbamate.تمت دراسة الفعالية البايولوجية لهذه المواد بطريقتي الانتشار بالحفر والتخفيف بالمرق واظهرت النتائج ان المضاد الحيوي الازثرومايسين فعال جدا ضد هذه البكتريا بكلتا الطريقتين. اما المواد الكيماوية المختارة فقد اظهرت حساسيتها تجاه البكتريا 100 % وبعض منها اظهرت عدم فعاليتها مثل : L - proline, oxalic acid dihydrazide, succinic acid dihydrazide, and adipic acid dihydrazide.اظهرت مادة potassium oxalic acid dihydrazide bisdithiocarbamate اكبر منطقة تثبيط لهذه البكتيريا عند مقارنتها مع المواد الكيمياوية الاخرى بطريقة الانتشار بالحفر. وتم قياس تراكيز الحد الادنى للتثبيط والحد الاعلى للقتل للمواد الكيميائية المختارة بطريقة التخفيف بالمرق وكانت بالشكل التالي : Zinc oxide NPs, 5, 10 mg/mL; phenytoin B.P, 1×10 - 3, 2×10 - 3 M; potassium L - proline dithiocarbamate, 2×10 - 3, 3×10 - 3 M; potassium oxalic acid dihydrazide bisdithiocarbamate, 0.5×10 - 3, 1×10 - 3 M; potassium succinic acid dihydrazide bisdithiocarbamate, 1×10 - 3, 2×10 - 3 M; and potassium adipic acid dihydrazide bisdithiocarbamate, 1×10 - 3, 2 ×10 - 3 M بالتعاقب .اظهرت البكتريا 100 % حساسية لجميع الحشوات بكلتا الطريقتين عند اضافة الازثرمايسين الى الحشوة بتراكيز مختلفة (من 0.8 الى 25 ملغم لكل كبسولة), في حين اظهرت مادة potassium oxalic acid dihydrazide bisdithiocarbamate المضاف الى الحشوة فعالية عند كمية 10 ملغم لكل كبسولة .تم قياس تراكيز الحد الادنى للتثبيط والحد الاعلى للقتل للمواد الكيميائية المختارة والمحملة في راتنج متعدد مثيل ميثا اكريلايت بطريقة التخفيف بالمرق واظهرت القيم بالشكل التالي : Zinc oxide NPs, 30, 40 mg/mL; phenytoin B.P, 2.5, 5 mg/mL and potassium oxalic acid dihydrazide bisdithiocarbamate, 1.25, 2.5 mg/mL, respectively. | Streptococcus mutans is one of the major causative bacterial groups in human dental decay by producing acids, aciduric potential, formation and utilization of storage polysaccharides and formation of insoluble extracellular polysaccharide. In the present study 13 isolates of Streptococcus mutans were collected from 25 samples taken from volunteers within the ages of 10 - 30 years. Diagnosis of Streptococcus mutans was obtained according to the colony morphology, Gram stain, biochemical test and Vitek 2 system. That were showed the bacterium was gram positive cocci in short or medium chain, non - motile, catalase negative, facultative anaerobes and grow easily on Mitis Salivarius Bacitracin Agar (MSBA) at concentrations (20 % sucrose and 0.2units/ml bacitracin) and then incubation in an atmosphere of 95 % nitrogen and 5 % carbon dioxide at 37º C for one to two days by using candle jar or the gas pack. After diagnosing the bacterium, the following results were obtained : By studying Streptococcus mutans susceptibility's to azithromycin antibiotic by Disk diffusion method (Kirby Bauer test), the results showed that all the local bacterial isolates were sensitive 100% to azithromycin. The sensitivities of these bacteria against selected chemicals (azithromycin, zinc oxide NPs, phenytoin B.P, L - proline, oxalic acid dihydrazide, succinic acid dihydrazide, adipic acid dihydrazide and new selected chemicals potassium L - proline dithiocarbamate, potassium oxalic acid dihydrazide bisdithiocarbamate, potassium succinic acid dihydrazide bisdithiocarbamate, and potassium adipic acid dihydrazide bisdithiocarbamate were studied by well diffusion and broth dilution methods. The results showed that the azithromycin was very strong bactericidal effect by both methods, and the other selected chemicals showed the sensitivities of Streptococcus mutans were 100 %, while L - proline, oxalic acid dihydrazide, succinic acid dihydrazide, and adipic acid dihydrazide showed no significant antibacterial activity.The potassium oxalic acid dihydrazide bisdithiocarbamate showed the largest inhibition zone compared to the other selected chemicals by well diffusion method. The measured MIC and MBC of the selected chemicals by broth dilution method showed the following values : zinc oxide NPs, 5, 10 mg/mL; phenytoin B.P, 1×10 - 3, 2×10 - 3 M; potassium L - proline dithiocarbamate, 2×10 - 3, 3×10 - 3 M; potassium oxalic acid dihydrazide bisdithiocarbamate, 0.5×10 - 3, 1×10 - 3 M; potassium succinic acid dihydrazide bisdithiocarbamate, 1×10 - 3, 2×10 - 3 M; and potassium adipic acid dihydrazide bisdithiocarbamate, 2×10 - 3, 3×10 - 3M respectively. Streptococcus mutans local isolates showed 100 % sensitivity towards azithromycin, which was loaded to the amalgam components with varying concentrations (0.8 to 25 mg per capsule) by both methods, while potassium oxalic acid dihydrazide bisdithiocarbamate showed the highest antibacterial effect at an amount higher than 10 mg per capsule. The measured MIC and MBC of the selected chemicals loaded on PMMA resin by broth dilution method showed the following values : zinc oxide NPs, 30, 40 mg/mL; phenytoin B.P, 2.5, 5 mg/mL and potassium oxalic acid dihydrazide bisdithiocarbamate, 1.25, 2.5 mg/mL, respectively.

Abstract: Breast cancer is a complex and multifactorial disease resulting in abnormal cell growth that leads to malignant tumor formation.In this study we focus on mutations of breast cancer susceptibility genes 1 and 2 (BRCA1 and BRCA2), immunohistochemical evaluation of estrogen, progesterone, HER - 2 receptors, ABO blood groups , white blood cells and clinicopathological parameter ( age, breast feeding, family history and tumor site) .Eighty five blood samples were taken from patients who attended Al - Hussain teaching hospital and oncology unit in Al - Habboby hospital during the period (from August /2014 to April /2015) , fifty blood samples were collected from healthy women as a control group who attended Al - Hussain teaching hospital and divided into groups according to age, family history, age at first brith, breast feeding. For histopathological and immunohistochemical analysis fifty tissue samples were collected from patients with breast cancer who were undergoing surgical resection (mastectomy). Blood samples were obtained by venepuncture , using a 5 ml disposable syringe , and they were divided into three aliquots, which were 1 ml, 2 ml and 2ml, for collect serum, genetic studies and hematological parameters (leucocycte count and ABO blood groups) study. The tissue samples were collected from the 50 patients with breast cancer for histopathological diagnosis and for Immunohistochemical analysis (estrogen receptor, progesterone receptor and here2/nue) The total patients were divided according to their age in to five groups (30 - 39), (40 - 49), (50 - 59), (60 - 69) and (≥70 years). results of present study revealed that a highest incidence of breast cancer (41%) occur in the age oup between 40 - 49 years, there is a significant difference among patients groups (P ≤ 0.01).The results of our study showed that (77) of patients lactating and from those according to period of lactation we found that the highest percentage of patients (37.6%) were lactating for period between (18 - 22months) and the lowest percentage (10.38%) lactating for period between (1 - 6 month). Family history of breast cancer indicates a strong association with risk of developing breast cancer. The result of the present study revealed that the family history positive in 31 cases (36.47%), and 54 cases (63.52%) had negative family history of breast cancer.The results of present study showed that (41.5%) had first birth at age (20 - 29years), (23.37%) had their first birth in age group (15 - 19 years) and (30 - 39 years), and (9.09%) had first birth at age (≥40 years).Regarding the tumor site, we found that most of patients (50.5%) the tumor mass was located in the right side and (38.8%) cases the tumor mass were located in the left side.The DNA was extracted from blood samples by using Accupower® genomic DNA extraction kit. Each concentration and purity of all DNA samples have been measured by Nanodrop. Samples with a purity ranged from 1.2 to 1.8 have been enrolled in this study for the molecular detection of BRCA1/2 gene mutation in patients and control groups. Detection of BRCA1/2 gene mutation by multiplex PCR revealed that (185 del AG mutation in BRCA1 gene) was detected in 6 patients (7.05%) out of 85 cases with breast cancer, and (5382 ins C) mutation in the same gene was detected in 2 patients (2.35%). Regarding (6174 del T) mutation in BRCA2 gene was detected in 3 patients (3.52%). While this mutation was not detected in the control groups.Histopathologically, carcinoma was divided into 44 cases (88%) ductal carcinoma {from which 42 cases (84%) were invasive ductal carcinoma, and 2 cases (4%) were comedocarcinoma}, and 6 cases (12%) cases invasive lobular carcinoma. Results revealed that 2 cases (4%) were stage I, 13 cases (26%) were stage II, 24 cases (48%) were stage III and 11 cases (22%) were stage IV, also our results showed that the 2 cases (4%) were grade I, 23 cases (46%) were grade II and 25 cases (50%) were grade III. The results of immunohistochemical analysis for breast cancer samples showed that Estrogen receptors were present in 36 cases (72%), and 14 cases (28%) were negative, while Progesterone receptors detected in 27 cases (54%), and 23 cases (46%) were negative, on the other hand the expression of HER - 2/neu showed positive results in 28 cases (56%), and 22 cases (44%) were negative.Regarding the ABO blood groups, we found that most of the cases carry blood group A (40 cases, 47.05 %), and the lowest frequency was for blood group AB (7 cases, 8.23%).The results of the present study showed that leukocytes count, lymphocytes count, monocytes count, neutrophils count and basophiles count were lower in patients than the control group, with a significant difference (p value ≤ o.o1). While the eosinophils count was significantly higher in patients than the controls (p value ≤ o.o1).

Abstract: Toxoplasma gondii is a unique intracellular parasite, which infects a large proportion of the world, population, but clinically uncommonly causes significant disease. The present study was performed for the first time in Thi - Qar province to estimate the prevalence of toxoplasmosis among university students. Blood samples were collected from 319 (111 males and 208 females) apparently healthy students, they have ages between (18 - 42) years attended from different colleges of Thi - Qar university (students of morning and evening study), during the period from October 2013 to April 2014.Enzyme linked Immunosorbant Assay (ELISA), was used to evaluate the presence of anti - Toxoplasma IgM and IgG antibodies and detection of B1 gene of T.gondii DNA by Real - Time Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT - PCR).The results indicated that 21.94% of students were exposed to positive for anti - Toxoplasma antibodies, 5.33% of them had IgM, 11.91% had IgG, and 4.70% had both IgM and IgG. Statistically, they were significant difference between them.There were a significant difference between males and females in total rate but not significant of antibodies pattern in them, which recorded 7.52% of males and 14.42% of females were positive for anti - Toxoplasma antibodies.The study demonstrated that no significant difference in infection percentages between colleges where students studied, although the highest seropositivity students was 47.83% in education sports college whereas it did not score any infection with toxoplasmosis in College of Education for Pure Science .The current study also showed that the highest positive percentage with T.gondii of male students was 28.57% in College of Engineering while the highest percentage with T.gondii of female students was 30.43% in College of sports education.The present study revealed that the acute infection of toxoplasmosis which presented IgM and both IgM and IgG was high at small age youngstudents (18 - 22) years while the chronic infection which presented IgG was high at old students (38 - 42) years.The present study demonstrated that seroprevalence of toxoplasmosis was significantly associated with close contact with cats. Although more students in the positive sample group eating undercooked meat but not significant difference between those 36.13% and other students who did not have this habit 13.5% has been discovered.The results showed the highest positive percentage samples at middle socioeconomic level was 24.10% while the lowest percentage at good socioeconomic level was 19.60% .The results showed that the highest positive percentage samples 31.0% at Refaee district whereas the lowest percentage was 19.78% as noticed at Naserya district.The present study demonstrated that seroprevalence of toxoplasmosis was significantly associated with presence of clinical symptoms (fever, headache, malaise, influenza) that may have a relationship with toxoplasmosis of infected students when compared with not presence clinical symptoms of those (p<0.05) they recorded 18.57% and 81.43% respectively.The present study revealed an association between blood group system and Toxoplasma infection with highest prevalence among samples of blood group A+ 30.65% and lowest prevalence in samples of blood group B+ 17.44% .The current study evolutes the rate of some blood parameters, in infected and non infected students, there was no significant difference observed in mean hemoglobin level (Hb), total count of leukocytes (WBCs), neutrophilis, lymphocytes, monocytes and basophilis numbers in both student . While significant differences were observed in mean of eosinophils number of infected students was more than number of non infected students.Moreover, mean of lymphocytes number recorded significant differences between infected and non infected females only.Besides the serological diagnosis of T.gondii, Real - Time PCR (RT - PCR) technique was used to confirm the infection with T.gondii by detection B1 gene of T.gondii DNA in the blood of students. Out of 319 students only 6.26% showed positive for toxoplasmosis among those 2.50% were males and 3.76% were females. The positive result in RT - PCR analysis were distributed on the patterns of the anti - Toxoplasma antibodies by ELISA test , Any positive blood samples with IgM, IgG and both IgM and IgG respectively have not been found whereas 20 positive cases of no anti - Toxoplasma antibodies.Real - Time PCR test in student's blood has advantages in detection of recent or active toxoplasmosis

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