Abstract: The violent criminal behavior is emerged from the interaction between several genetics and environmental factors. The present study reflect the role of polymorphisms in dopaminergic system genes (drd2 ,comt ,dat1 ,drd4, and maoa) on violent criminal behavior in Iraqi prisoners.This research was a case - control study , blood samples were collected from 200 prisoners (case group) who convicted with terrorism (150 sample), murder (30 sample) and drug trading (20 sample) Issues selected from Al - Hilla reformist central prison for men and women in Babylon city and from position and deporting division in Karbala .This sample included (160 male and 40 female). Additionally, 100 sample were collected as control group included (54 male and 46 female).DNA was extracted and the polymorphisms analysis achieved by Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (RFLP - PCR) for drd2 and comt genes ,while the dat1 ,drd4 and maoa polymorphisms was analyzed by Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR).All polymorphisms (except drd4) were subjected to PCR - sequencing for confirming the presence of polymorphisms .The results showed that the percentage of the case group was 34.5 % with an age ranged between 20 - 39 years ,most of them were male 80% ,72.5% were married ,77.5% were from rural area ,84% were self - employed and 41.5% were illiterate .Genetic analysis of drd2 TaqIA polymorphism demonstrated that a significant increase in the genotype frequency of A1/A1 was observed in case group (p = 0.03; OR= 4.93 ; 95% CI=1.08 - 22.5) and the A1 allele frequency was significantly associated with criminal behavior (p=0.03 ;OR=1.51; 95% CI=1.04 - 2.21).The comt (Val 158 Met) polymorphism revealed that the homo - mutant genotype A/A had significant higher risk of criminal behavior (p= 0.001 ;OR= 3.98 ; 95% CI= 1.7 - 9.3) when compared with control group. and the A allele(met allele) frequency was significantly associated with case group (p=0.003; OR= 1.68; 95%CI= 1.19 - 2.37).On the other hand , the analysis of VNTR polymorphism in dat1 gene showed non - significant difference in 9/9 genotype and 9R allele frequency between the study groups (p>0.05).The VNTR polymorphism analysis for drd4 gene revealed that the criminal individual who carried 7/4 genotype was significant higher than in control group (p=0.03;OR= 2.6, 95%CI= 1.09 - 6.17), and the 7R allele frequency was significantly associated with case group (p=0.04;OR=2.06; 95%CI= 1.04 - 4.1).Finally, the maoa VNTR polymorphism was analyzed in male and female separately due to the gene location on X - chromosome .The results demonstrated that there was non - significant difference observed between all genotypes and alleles frequencies between case and control male (p> 0.05),whereas in female a significant association in 3.5/3.5 and 5.5/4.5 genotypes (p<0.01) ,additionally the 3.5 R alleles was associated with higher risk of violent criminal behavior in female (p= 0.004;OR=2.62; 95%CI=1.36 - 5.05).These results suggested that the drd2 ,comt ,drd4 and maoa in female polymorphism might increase the susceptibility of individual to engage in to crimes in the presence of certain environment risk factors.

Many of studies have shown the critical part of TLRs in different parasitic diseases. The present study were performed to detect TLRs 7 and TLRs 9 genes and related cytokines in 125 aborted women as case group and 30 healthy women (15 non pregnant and 15 pregnant women) as control groups in the Maternity and children Hospital in the Al - Qadisiyah province from December 2015 till March 2016, Five milliliter of venous blood sample were obtained from each woman under sterile condition. Three aspects were involved in this study; the first aspect included the measurement of sera antibodies (IgG& IgM) in the aborted women and control and study epidemiological aspects for T. gondii infection. The second aspect determined the levels of cytokines (IL - 12 Pg./ml , IFN - γ Pg./ml) and human proflin - 1 (PFN - 1 Pg./ml) in the sera of aborted women and control. The levels of cytokines (IL - 12 , IFN - γ) and PFN - 1 in blood were detected by using ELISA principle. The third aspect focused on detection of TLR7 gene and TLR9 gene in extraction DNA of aborted women and control (non pregnant and pregnant women) by Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR). The outcomes demonstrated the seroprevalence of IgG (latent infection) and IgM (recently acquired infection) anti - Toxoplasma antibodies were positive in 55/125 cases (44%) and 5/125 cases (4%) respectively, however the Overall Seroprevalence of anti - T.gondii antibodies in aborted women was 48%. Mixed seropositive for IgG and IgM were not recorded in the present study, whereas the control were 0% for all antibodies. Significant relationship (P< 0.05) was found between the seroprevalence of T.gondii as ( chronic infection , age groups of the aborted women, several chronic diseases and abortion time). The results showed no statistically significant association between Toxoplasma infection and the ability of women to have children and frequency of abortions. The results confirmed that the aborted women with positive IgG antibody have significant increase in IL - 12 concentration in comparison with control , while no significant increase in IgM in comparison with control groups at LSD value ( 30.28). The concentrations of IFN - γ were lower in positive IgM aborted women than IgG , both groups of aborted women have significant decreased in comparison with pregnant control. While IgM patients have significant decreased in comparison with pregnant and healthy control group at LSD value (19.33). The human profilin - 1 levels were lowered in infected aborted women with IgG and IgM antibodies in comparison with pregnant and healthy control at LSD value ( 230.14). The genetic profils of genes TLRs have explained that TLR7 and TLR9 were (89.1 %) , (84.7 %), Respectively in aborted women. The results illustrated the presence of some genetic variation (TLR7 and TLR9 gene) in aborted women compared with the control, and this means having mutations in the patients gene.

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

Abstract: During the period between April 2016 and January 2017, a total of 1100 clinical specimens (burns, wounds, throat, urine, blood) were collected from two hospitals in Babylon province Al - Hillah Teaching Hospital and Medical City of Mirjan Hospital. All specimens were cultured and 17 Acinetobacter baumannii isolates were obtained from clinical specimens in a percentage of (1.5%) distributed in burn 11 (2.8%), wound 1 (0.6%), throat 1 (2%), urine 3 (0.7%) and blood 1 (0.9%).This study was conducted to determine the presence of carbapenem resistance Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB) isolates and the prevalence of β - lactamase genes responsible for carbapenem - resistance among clinical isolates of A. baumannii collected from two hospitals in Hillah City. Isolates were identified according to VITEK2 system. Antibiotics susceptibility was assayed by using disks diffusion method according to CLSI recommendations and it’s found 8 isolates was carbapenem resistant.The eight CRAB isolates were tested for biofilm formation by using the tube adherence test and the results showed that 5 of 8 tested isolates (62.5%) were strong for biofilm formation. Two genes related to biofilm formation was investigated (bap & blaPER - 1 genes). Six isolates were positive for the bap gene (75 %) and no isolates had positive for blaPER - 1 gene. The eight CRAB isolates were tested also for the presence of two virulence factor genes include espA (K1 capsular polysaccharide) and ompA (outer membrane protein A), this detection was performed by the conventional PCR technique. The positive result for espA and ompA genes was (62.5%) and (75%) respectively.IIPhenotypic detection of carbapenemase production was performed using the imipenem - EDTA disk and modified Hodge's test (MHT). Then isolates were subjected to monoplex PCR targeting blaCTX, blaTEM, BlaSHV, blaIMP, blaVIM, blaSPM, NDM - 1, NDM - 2, AmpC, OXA - 23, OXA - 24, OXA - 48, OXA - 51, OXA - 58 and OXA - 235 genes, all CRAB isolate gave positive result with MHT and (50%) of these isolates were positive to the imipenem - EDTA disk. PCR experiments showed ; all CRAB isolates were harbored blaOXA - 51 gene, six (75%) isolates were harbored blaCTX gene, four (100%) isolates were harbored blaTEM gene, four (50%) isolates were harbored blaVIM gene, four (50%) isolates were harbored blaSPM gene, seven (87.5%) isolates were harbored NDM - 2 gene, seven (87.5%) isolates were harbored ampC gene, six (75%) isolates were harbored OXA - 23 gene, one (12.5%) isolates were harbored OXA - 24 gene, two (25%) isolates were harbored OXA - 48 gene and one (12.5%) isolates were harbored OXA - 235 gene, while none of these isolates harbored BlaSHV, blaIMP, NDM - 1, NDM - 2 genes. All isolates of A. baumannii appear as MDR, while two isolates appear to be as XDR.These results revealed that CRAB isolates constitute 47% of all A. baumannii that had been isolated from Al - Hillah Teaching Hospital and Medical City of Mirjan Hospital in Babylon province and some of carbapenemase were detected in both phenotypic and genotypic methods (PCR). This underlies the importance of their accurate identifications and reporting to prevent the emergence of complete resistance to the most potent drugs against A. baumannii in Babylon province.
