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

chemical factors, such as water and air temperature , pH, electrical conductivity, salinity, total dissolved solids, total suspended solids, turbidity, dissolved oxygen, biological oxygen demand, Alkalinity, carbonate, bicarbonates, magnesium, calcium, total hardness, chloride, sodium, potassium, nitrate, nitrite, phosphate and sulfate. The values of these factors were between16.5 - 30 °C,14 - 25 °C , 7.1 - 8.8 , 914 - 9380 μS\cm , 0.5 - 5.8 ppt , 978 - 5526 mg/L , 29 - 144 mg/L, 1.2 - 11 NTU, 6 - 11.5 mg/L , 1.2 - 5.7 mg/L, 110 - 230 mg calcium carbonate/ L , unsesnible - 17.6 mg calcium carbonate / L , 104 - 221 mg calcium carbonate/ L , 27 - 391 mg/ L , 91 - 551 mg/ L , 500 - 2500 mg calcium carbonate / L , 65 - 1458 mg/ L , 180 - 1430 mg/ L , 10 - 110 mg/ L , 1.7 - 4.8 mg/ L , unsesnible - 0.6 mg/ L , unsesnible - 0.27 mg/ L and 280 - 2300 mg/ L respectively.Some heavy metals Were measured such as zinc , copper , cadmium , lead , chromium , manganese and iron . The values ranged respectively between unsesnible - 0.031 mg/ L , unsesnible - 0.078 mg/ L , unsesnible - 0.018 mg/L, unsesnible - 0.14 mg/L, unsesnible - 0.19 mg/L, unsesnible - 0.16 mg/ L , and 0.01 - 0.15 mg/ L. The results showed that the water of the studied pond was in agood aeriation and with abad hardness, its water tend to the alkalinity, the heavy metals values were wobbling within the study period ,it had ahigh concentrations during the July summer except zinc and iron which were in a permissible limits of the uses for all uses, the second and third site were more polluted than the first site . Many observations were recorded about the effects of some studied factors upon the pond carp Fish fingerlings,the Fish fingerlings showed agood adaptipon to live inside the pond water since the were existing in a high density at the seasons that were a remarkable with a high concentrations of salinity, electrical conductivity and hardness and some ions such as sodium, chloride, potassium and sulfate. Common carp (Cyprinus carpio L.) fingerlings with the length between (2.5 - 3 cm) and The weight of (200mg ± 15mg),were exposed to the some Concentrations (0.5, 1, 1.5) mg /L of the lead, cadmium, copper, elements in order to study the poisoning effect of these heavy metals,upon the longevity and to detemine the LT50% and the LT100% and then to observe the behavioral and external morphology changes of these fingerlings.the bio accumulation of the experimental elements were measured for the fingerlings body and bioconcentration factor was recorded also.Examing of the experimental waters were pointed that the values of the temperature, pH and electrical conductivity and total hardness and concentration of calcium and magnesium, and dissolved oxygen.were between (24 - 25.5) 0C, (7.9 - 8.2) ,( 797 - 3000) μS\cm, (265 - 1010) mg/ L, (59.25 - 200) mg/ L , (28.5 - 121) mg/ L,and (9 - 11) mg/ L, respectively.the studied heavy metals were recording a similar concentrations for the Tap water and pond water since the concentrations of the lead and cadmium values were unsesnible while the concentrations of the copper was 0.01mg/L in Tap water and 0.02 mg/ L in pond water. The fingerlings body analysis was detected before putting them inside the experimental water and the concentrations of lead, cadmium and copper were recorded as (99.0 μg/g), (85.0 μg / g) and (76.0 μg / g) respectively.The results of exposing the fingerlings to the three experimental concentrations(0.5, 1 and 1.5) mg /L .had showed that no mortality or any behavioral and morphological changes were observed except what were noticed the decline of the fish movement and the secretion of the slime around the fish body.The highest values recorded fer the bioaccumulation and bioconcentration factor insid the fingerlings that they exposed to the lead element (0.5,1,1.5) mg/ L. Were (1.53, 3.12, 4.93) μg/g respectively. for the first one, and(3.06, 3.12, 3.28) respectively.For the second one.the bio - accumulation value for the control group was 0.77μg/g.After fingerlings exposing for the cadmium element there were mortalities on the concentration of (1 ,1.5) mg/ L,when it was reaching to the LT50% on the (1) mg/ L at the 9th day and reaching to the LT50% on the (1.5) mg/L concentration at the 6th day of the experments,where no mortality recorded at the(0.5) mg/ L concentrations. while it was not reaching to the LT100% on the( 1.5) concentration mg/ L.Beside that some behavioral and morpholgical changing were noticed such as some emotional movement like the rise and descent between up and down of the aquarium and near its wall or some times near the aquarium water surface ,in addition to that it showed no response for any external influence such as the light exposing or the knocking on the aquarium walls. In addition to that it showed the congestion of the area around the fish gillsThe bioaccumulation and bioconcentration factor were recorded for the cadmium less than lead where the value was (0.91μg/g) at (0.5mg/ L) concentration,while the bioconcentration factor was (1.82) at (0.5mg/ L) concentration. while the bioaccumulation was (1.95 μg/g).and then bio - concentration factor was recording the value of (1.95) on the (1) mg/ L concentration while the bioaccumulation was (2.1μg/g).and then bio - concentration factor was recording the value of (2.1) on the (1) mg/ L concetration after ten days when the experiment was finished.The value of bioaccumulation were (3.12μg/g). at (1.5mg/L) concentration. while the bioconcentration factor were (2.08). while the bioaccumulation was (3.40 μg/g) and then bio concentration factor was recording the value of (2.26) at (1.5mg/L) concentration. after ten days when the experiment was finished. The bio - accumulation inside the fish fingerlings on the control group was (0.73μg/g). After the copper exposing there was a mortality recording at the concentration of this metal with (0.5, 1, 1.5) mg / L,and then the LT50% was reached with the (0.5) mg /l concentration,while the reaching to the LT50% and LT100% were optained at the (1, 1.5) mg / L concentrations.Some behavioral and emotional changing were noticed with the active gills movement and a circular swimming around one axon and one side, then the operculum opining was noticed in opening case even after a fish death .The values bioaccumulation and bioconcentration were recording less values for copper experiments than that to lead and cadmium metals then.when it was reaching to the LT50% on the (0.5) mg/l at the 7th day. and reaching to the LT50% and LT100% on the (1) mg/l concentration at the (5th, 8th) day respectively of the experments, and reaching to the LT50% and LT100% on the (1.5) mg/L concentration at the (3th, 6th) day respectively of the experments. the bioaccumulation and bioconcentration at the time reaching of LT50% were recording the values of (0.71 μg/g and 1.42) respectively.the bioaccumulation and bioconcentration after 10 days of experiments finishing were (0.89 and 1. 78 μg/g ) respectively.At the concentration of (1)mg / L the LT50% and LT100% were recorded and the LT50% and LT100% values were recorded as (0.98 ,1.24) μg/g and (1.98 ,1.24) respectively.At the concentration of (1.5 mg / L). the values of the bioaccumulation and bioconcentration at the LT50% and LT100% were (1.96, 2.33 μg/g) and (1.30, 1.55) respectively.The bioaccumulation in side the fingerlings body for the control group (0.68 μg/g) for the copper metal .

Those gases were released due to the burning fuel of crude oil and even the lubricate oil wastes of heavy machines and vehicles. Changes in some blood and chemical parameters were used as an indicator of the effect range of those pollutant gases. The chemical parameters in blood serum used were : Creatinine ; Urea; Sodium ; Cholesterol ; Triglycerides and Glucose. special kits were used for the analysis to determine their concentration changes. Results shows that creatinine have increased significantly from (53.03 to 87.21 ) mmol/L. also the Urea ; Sodium and Triglycerides were significantly increased from ( 3.37 to 4.61) ml ; (141.3 to 143.6 ) mmol /L ; ( 1.33 to 2.33 ) gm/dl respectively. The cholesterol concentration shows not significant slight decrease from (5.12 to 4.60) mmol /L.While glucose concentration was decreased significantly from 5.64 to 3.23 mmol / L. The Hematology tests shows increase in (WBC) and (MCV) from (4.63 to 6.75) ×103ml ; (85.84 to 94.38) fl respectively while decrease in (Hb) and (Plts) from; (15.63 to 13.7) gm/dl ; (204.1 to 146.5) mmol respectively. Results shows not significant increase in (Hct) from (48.47 to 49.21)% and not significant decrease in (RBC) from (5.47 to 5.39) ×106µl , Statistical analysis was used with t test under probability < 0.001 for comparison between workers and control group in each parameter. Mean concentrations; S.D. and S.E. were also used. Results were discussed and compared with other related studies. These results show that the released poisoning gases from AL - Nahrawan brick factories have serios effects on the circulation system of the workers.Those effects were clear from : 1 - The significant increase changes in the values of White Blood Cell (WBC) and Mean Corpuscular volume (MCV). 2 - The significant decrease in the Hemoglobin (Hb) and the Platelets (Plts). Those effects were behind the low efficiency of the kidney, This low efficiency from the significant increase of Criatenine , Urea, Sodium and Triglyceride.This is an indication of the bad situation of the Workers 'health.Those facts confirm the need to the interference of the health and Environmental authorities to find out their Alternatives and Mitigation Plan.

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

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

The objective of the persent study is to activation patient sperms quality in vitro by using two different techniques which are the swim - up technique and mixing technique for 30 minute of incubation in Earl’s medium and Earl’s medium + vitamin E to findout the effect of vitamin E on the sperms parameter. Althow, also the effects of infection on the sperm parameter before and after treatment ware evaluated also. . The results showed that the treatment of patient suffering from leukospermia showed revealed significant decrease (P<0.05) in the leukocyte and phagocyte concentration. However, the decrease was insignificant at the time of liquification in comparison with thar used befor treatment . Also a significant improvement (P<0.05) was found in sperm concentration, sperm motility percent, sperm motility index and sperm grade activity in comparison to that resulted befor treatment, as well as that done at the process of activation before and after the treatment. . The sperm activation of patients suffering from Oligospermia (severe and moderate) and Asthenospermia(severe and moderate) by using the swim - up technique and mixing technique (Earl’s media and Earl’s media + vitamin E) showed that there was a significant improvement (P<0.05) in the sperm motility percent, sperm grade activity, sperm motility index in comparison to its result befor activation. The result of sperm patients suffering from Oligospermia (severe and moderate) and Ashenospermia (severe and moderate) by using the swim - up technique (Earl’s media and Earl’s media + vitamin E) showed that there was a significant decrease (P<0.05) in sperm concentration and leukocyte concentration in comparison to that used before activation. However, the results were not significant in both mentioned parameter when mixing technique was used. The result of sperm activation of patients suffering from Oligospermia (severe and moderate) and Asthenospermia(severe and moderate) by using the swim - up technique (Earl’s media and Earl’s media + vitamin E) showed that there was a significant improvement (P<0.05) in the normal sperm morphology percent in comparison to its result befor activation. However, the sperm percent was not significant when mixing technique was used. Also, a significant improvement was noticed(P<0.05) in the sperm motility percent, sperm grade activity and sperm motility index by using ng both techniques swim - up and mixing when Earl’s media was mixed with vitamin E in comparison to the process of activation in both techniques when only Earl’s media was used. However, there was a significant improvement (P<0.05) in sperm concentration swim - up technique by using Earl’s media and vitamin E when compared to that in which only Earl’s media was used . It was concluded that using a human sperm activation after the treatment of infection and inflammations can give a better results than that when used before the treatment as the presence of leukocytes and phagocytes considered important in sperm parameters . Also, it was found that the addition of vitamin E to Earl’s media improve the sperm parameters and their activation in infertile patients suffering from Oligospermia (severe and moderate) and Asthenospermia (severe and moderate)

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: The study was conducted in Plant physiology laboratory, department of biology, college of education for pure sciences, University of Basrah from 1/6/2015 till 10/7/2016 in order to evaluate the effect ofpretreatment (soaking) seeds of corn (Zea mays L.) cv. Baghdad 3with salicylic acid (SA) on germination, early seedlings growth and to minimize the effect of water stress induced with poly ethylene glycol (PEG). The study included the following experiments : 1 - Effect of SA and PEG on germination using a hydroponic culture and Hoagland solution in which corn seeds were soaked in three concentrations (0.1,0.3,0.5) mMof SA in addition to control treatment with distilled water for six hours. Water stress were induced with PEG at concentrations of 0 (distilled water),1%,2%,3%,6%,9% and 12%. This experiment indicated that the optimum soaking concentration with SA was 0.5 mM and that there was no germination at 12% PEG.2 - Effect of interaction between corn seeds pretreatment with DW, 0.5mM of SA for six hoursand PEG at all previous concentrations except 12%, on early corn seedlings growth using hydroponic culture and Hoagland nutrient solution, for three weeks.3 - Effect of interaction betweencorn seeds pretreatment with DW, 0.5 mM of SA for six hoursand water stress induced with PEG at 3% and 6% on vegetative growth using pots filled with a mixture of sand and peat moss for three months.The parameters were evaluated after each of the previous experiments, also , Biochemical test . Plant height, leaves number, root length and number, dry and fresh weight for shoot and roots, while the followingparameters were evaluated in corn leaves after pots experiment : 1 - Biochemical tests included : proline and glycine betain concentrations, total carbohydrates, total chlorophyll, sodium and potassium ions concentrations.2 - Leaves anatomical study to compare the effect of PEG inducedwater stress and the role of its interaction with pretreatment with SA on thegrowth and development of internal structure of corn leaves.The following results were estimated : 1 - Germination percentage : increasing water stress in the nutrient media reduced the % germination significantly when compared with control treatment. Seeds pretreatment with SA enhanced the germination percent and the highest percent was at interaction between PEG at 1%, 2% and SA at 0.5 mM.2 - Growth parameters for seedling at hydroponic culture indicated that plant height, fresh and dry weight for shoot and roots have increased significantly when seeds were pretreated with 0.5 Mm SA All theprevious parameters were reduced significantly under PEG induced waterstress especially at 9%. Interaction between SAand PEG caused apositive significant increases in all studied parameters especially atconcentrations less than 6% and 9% PEG.3 - Growth parameters for corn plants grown at pots have showed a significant increase when pretreated with SA compared with that treated with DW. PEG caused a significant decrease in the growth parameters IIIespecially at 6%. Interaction between DW and 6% PEG recorded the lowest growth in all studied parameters. 4 - Biochemical tests : There was a significant increase in total carbohydrates and total chlorophyll content in leaves of corn plants pretreated with SA in compare with that pretreatdwith DW while the content of proline and glycine betaine were higher significantly in leaves pretreated with DW.In case of PEG induced water stress, the highest total carbohydrates content was at 6%, highest chlorophyll content at 3% while proline and glycine betaine highest content were at 6% PEG. 5 - Sodium and Potassium Concentration : The highest potassium concentration was at plant treated with SA while the highest sodium concentration was at plant treated with DW. Increasing PEG concentrations caused a significant increase in potassium concentration and a significant decrease in sodium concentration. Interaction results revealed that the highest potassium and the lowest sodium concentrations were at interaction between SA and PEG at 6%. 6 - Anatomical study results revealed that increasing water stress effected the leaves tissues structures and this were cleared at vascular bundles tissues (xylem and phloem tissues) and bundle sheath. Upper and lower epidermis, polliform cells were also affected by increasing water stress.The anatomy of leaves also showed that there was a positive enhancement in the structure of leaves tissues in the plants grown from pretreated seeds with SA.

Abstract: This study aimed to verify the distribution of Periplaneta americana and Culex pipiens allergy and its association with some HLA class II alleles in asthmatic and allergic patients. 96 healthy (control ) and 96 suspected allergic individuals from the same geographical region ,paired by sex and age were included in this study. Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay test (ELISA) was used to estimate the total and specific IgE antibodies in the sera of studied individuals. The detection of the HLA - DQB1*0602, HLADQB1* 0604 and HLA - DRB1*12 was performed by Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR).The results of total IgE based ELISA which was conducted on 96 suspected allergic and24 healthy (control ) individuals revealed that there was extremely significant statistical association (P<0.0001) for total IgE concentration with being allergic or non allergic status of individuals. The overall frequency of higher total IgE antibody concentration ( IgE>200IU/ml) was observed in 72.9% of allergic patients and lower serum total IgE levels (IgE<200IU/ml) were associated with 87.5% of healthy individuals. According to the specific IgE based ELISA results the effect of allergic patients age on the IgE seropositivity against cockroach allergens was not considered to be significant(p>0.05),but the effect of sex was statistically significant)P<0.05(.There was no significant effect( p>0.05)for patients age and sex on the distribution of IgE antibodies against mosquito allergens. Out of 96 allergic patients, 59 (61.5%)and 62(64.6%)showed positive IgE antibody response against cockroach and mosquito allergens respectively. Concerning the PCR results the overall frequency of HLA - DQB1*0602 and HLA - DQB1*0604 alleles was %35.6 and %15.3 of cockroach allergic patients respectively and the HLA - DRB1*12 allele was not observed in these patients..Out of 62 mosquito allergic patients, 8(%12.9)showed HLA - DQB1 * 0602 positive results while HLA - DQB1*0604 allele was observed in 4(%6.5)patients and the HLA - DRB1*12 allele was not observed in these patients.The difference in the genotypig results was extremely highly significant(χ2 : 0.030;17.486; degrees of freedom(DF) : 3;p - value=0.00056136) between cockroach and mosquito allergic patients .The association between the presence HLA - DQB1 *0602 , HLA - DQB1 * 0604 and HLA - DRB1*12 and total IgE based ELISA results in allergic patients and healthy individuals revealed that the percentage of HLA - DQB1 * 0602, HLA - DQB1 * 0604 and HLA - DRB1*12 alleles presence in patients having total IgE lower total IgE )IgE<200 IU/ml) was higher than that of high )IgE>200 IU/ml) total IgE patients where HLA - DQB1*0602 appeared in high percentage(69.2%) followed by percentage (15.4 %( of HLA - DQB1* 0604 presence. . The relationship of HLA - DQB1and HLADRB1 alleles with the results of total IgE based ELISA was statistically significant in the least(χ2 : 60.756 and the degree of freedom (DF) : 5;p= P<0.00001) and greatest(χ2 : 11.806 ; the degree of freedom (DF) : 5 ; p = 0.037544) than 200 IU / ml, values .Depending on the association between the presence of HLADQB1* 0602 ,HLA - DQB1*0604 and HLA - DRB1*12 and positive or negative specific results of cockroach or mosquito allergens specific IgE based ELISA results in allergic patients revealed that the percentage of HLA - DQB*0602,HLA - DQB1*0604 and HLA - DRB1*12 alleles presence in cockroach allergic patients having positive results were higher than those ratios that have been observed in patients with negative ELISA results where HLA - DQB1*0602 appeared in high percentage)35.6%( followed by percentage( 15.3% )of HLA - DQB1*0604 . The relationship of HLADQB1and HLA - DRB1 alleles with the results of specific IgE based ELISA was statistically significant (χ2 : 10.412; DF : 3; p - value =0.01536989).Incontrast the percentage of HLA - DQB1*0602,HLADQB1*0604 and HLA - DRB1*12 alleles presence in mosquito allergic patients was found to be higher in negative ELISA results patients also the relationship of these HLA - DQB1 alleles with mosquito allergen specific IgE based ELISA results was not considared statistically significant (χ2 : 3.115 ;DF : 3 and p= 0.37423205).However HLA - DQB1 * 0602 allele was found in the highest percentage (20.6%), followed by allele HLA - DQB1 * 0604 (8.8%).Concerning the presence of HLA - DQB1*0602 ,HLA - DQB1*0604 andHLA - DRB1*12 in cockroach or mosquito allergic patients and healthy individuals,the HLA - DRB1*12 and HLA - DQB1*0602 allels were not found in healthy individuals.The genotyping results difference between cockroach allergic patients and healthy individuals was considered statistically extremely significant (χ2 : 74.485 ;DF : 5 and p =0) as well as the difference in the results of the genotyping of mosquitoes allergic patients and healthy people was statistically with very high significant (χ2 : 23.342 ; DF : 5 and p = 0.00029035).

Abstract: The current study was conducted to investigate the genetic and physiological effects of some industrial chemicals on workers of the Petrochemicals Industrial Factory, in Basra Province , as it has been collecting 100 blood samples during the month of January and February of 2011 from each of the exposure in (ethylene section) and the control group of (employees of the University of Basra). and then the samples were divided on the basis of each of the years of occupational exposure to more and less than 15 years , age group to the larger and smaller than 50 years, smoking habits.The results showed that there was a significant decrease in the haemoglobin concentration HB, PCV, RDW and MCV in the more than15 years exposure group in comparison with the control group, while, no significance was detected in the RBC, MCH, MCV ,RDW,MCH and MCHC in less than15 years exposure group . Whereas, a significant decrease in the PCV for the same group was observed.White blood cells parameters’ results showed also variations in their values. In general, WBC did not change significantly in both groups of workers, while, the proportion of the lymphocyte and the of monocyte declined significantly in the more than 15 year of occupational exposure group, in contrast, the proportion of granulated cells increased markedly in the same group. The results of group of less than 15 years exposure revealed that the proportion of monocyte dropped significantly. Conversely, there was a significant increase in the proportion of granulated cells while the proportion of the lymphocyte was not significant . Platelets’ number and average of platelets’ volume decreased significantly in both occupational groupsTurning to the biochemical tests, the results showed significant increase in both liver enzymes ALT ,ASTand bili as well as this increase was found in urea, uric acid and glucose values in both occupational exposure groups. Contrariwise, the ALP creatinine and cholesterol did not reveal significant changes in both groups that in comparison with control group. The total protein decreased significantly in the group of more than 15 year of occupational exposure.Testosterone level revealed a significant decline in both occupational groups, while the Follicle stimulating hormone showed a significant increase in the occupational group of less than 15 year and no difference was observed in another occupational group while LH hormone level was not significant.In case of the genetic effects of the ethylene compounds, DNA was extracted for control and occupational groups and amplification was performed for GSTM1, GSTT1 and Albumin by using PCR technique. The results showed that there was no significant effect of both occupational periods on the GSTM1 gene, while GSTT1 gene was significantly in the workers samples in group more than 15 year of exposure, which was 2.43 times more than the group of less than 15 year of exposure.As regards the impact of exposure to ethylene and loss of genes GSTM1 and GSTT1 showed the results of our study, significant increase in the loss of gene GSTM1 amounted to more than five - fold (5.1) among workers exposed compared to a set of control while the proportion of loss of gene GSTT1 by more than three - fold (3. 1) compared to the group control has been a loss ratio of the two genes together more than eight - fold (8.5) for workers exposed group compared to the control.The light smoke did not reveal a significant effect on the null of GSTM1 and GSTT1 genes that in comparison with the control group, while the study found a significant effect of smoking on gene GSTM1, causing the null of much more than doubled (2.2) times compared with the control group (non - smokers) and the significant effect of smoking on null GSTT1 gene loss as increased visits by the text (1.5) compared with non - smokers also appeared that excessive smoking has an effect on the GSTT1 gene causing loss by seven - fold (7.08) once compared to non - smokers.The effect of the age group (less and more than 50 years old) of the workers on the null of both GSTM1 and GSTT1 was also examined. GSTM1 gene was null six times in both age groups of workers more than the control samples. While the GSTT1 was null in age group less than 50 years old three times more than the control group. As well as this absence was two times in the age group more than 50 years old in comparison with control group.It could be concluded from the present study that the exposure of workers to ethylene and its metabolic impact and clearly on blood standards as well as caused a high level of enzymes AST, ALT and bilirubin and high blood sugar levels and lower total protein and high level of urea and uric acid level as well as the low level of the hormone testosterone as it turns out that occupational exposure to ethylene and metabolic outcomes and length of exposure and smoking for workers exposed role in influencing the genes of detoxification, causing null in each of the gene GSTT1 and GSTM1.

Abstract: A total of 210 human venous blood samples were collected from Basrah province ( 190 randomly collected from people living in different regions of Basrah province , 10 blood samples from people who did not have a history of shrimp consumption or dealing with it used as negative control group, anther 10 samples of people who are sensitive to shrimp used as a positive control group). The samples were serologically tested by Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) to estimate the distribution of total and specificIgE in the sera of studied individuals . Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) was performed to detect the HLA - DQB1*02 , *0302 , *0305 allels. The immunological study included the preparation of two types of Metapenaeus affinis allergens which are the raw allergens and the boiled allergens used in Indirect ELISA test to determin shrimp food allergies by serodiagnosis , while Direct ELISA test was used to estimate the distribution of total IgE by quantitative serological methods in the sera of studied samples. the concentration of protein in antigens extracts was estimated, the protein concentration in the boiled shrimp extract was less than its concentration in the raw extract.The results of direct ELISA test demonstrated a decrease in the level of total IgE antibodies in most of the studied samples , the level of IgE <100 recorded a significant high rate 98.4% which is more than the level of IgE > 100 which recorded apercentage of 1.6% and there was a significant difference between them. The Indirect ELISA test results revealed that the total percentage of IgE distribution of the raw and boiled shrimp antigens were 57.8% and 74.2% respectively and there was a significant difference between males and females .However , the difference was not significant between the age groups P>0.05.The molecular study was conducted to detect the presence of some alleles HLADQB1* 02, *0302, *0305 gene in the blood samples by using PCR . The current study showed that the association of the presence of these alleles and the level of total immunoglobulin is highly significant.Also the current study showed that a high significant difference was found between the positive samples to the studied alleles and the seropositive and seronegative results of raw and boild shrimp allergen specific IgE based on Indirect ELISA (P≤0.01).The results of PCR showed a high frequency ratio of HLADQB1 * 0302 97.2% in allergic patients of shrimp boild allergen and 56.9% in allergic patients of shrimp raw allergen .Also the current study showed a very high frequency ratio of HLADQB1 *0305 98.2% in the individuals who showed positive results for the raw allergen and recorded 65.2%. in the individuals who showed positive results for the boild allergen ,while HLADQB1*02 showed in one sample of studied samples which recorded positive results to raw and boild allergens of shrimp .The current study demonstrated also that the alleles frequency in some of studied samples which are seronegative by Indirect ELISA test , HLADQB1*0302 was 30.9% in raw antigens, while in the negative boild sample was not observed . HLADQB1*0305 was 1.23% in serongative of raw allergen and 16.32% in boild allergen. However, HLADQB1*02 was notobserved in seronagative to raw and boild shrimp allergen.

Abstract: The present study was concerned with some biological aspects of the invasive snail Pomacea canaliculata (Lamarck, 1822) and for this purpose, monthly samples from Shatt Al - Arab banks in the area of Al - Salhia were collected during the period from October 2014 to September 2015. The study included the monthly variations in the density of snail , its egg masses and the population sizes. In the laboratory, the study included many aspects, these are the relationships between female weight with some measurements of its egg masses, embryonic development duration, hatching percentages under different temperatures, food consumption, salt acclimatization, growth under combined effect of salinity and temperature, effect of food type on growth of newly hatched snails and examine samples of snail to detect the infection with parasites if present. The density of the snail was ranged from four to 13 ind. /m2 recorded during January - February 2015 and October 2014 respectively, while the mean density of egg masses was from two to nine egg mass / m2 recorded during April 2015 and October 2014. The statistical analysis showed that the temperature had positive correlated with density of each of snails and its egg masses. On the otherhand, there are positive correlation between the density of each snail and its egg masses. The snails, which had been collected during the study period, were 19 - 68 mm in length, these measurements were classifying into five size classes. The size class 35 - 45 mm was dominanted for nine months, compared with the size class 55 - 65 mm that had less occurrence.The diameter of eggs varied from 2.5 - 4 mm. The 25°C is the most suitable temperature to get a high percentage of hatching and a short period of embryonic development. There was no significant correlation between the weight of the female and the number of its egg masses.The feeding experiment showed that the amount of food consumed lettuce mild during the study period 30 days by one individual ranged from 3 - 29g. The results of the acclimatization was referred to the ability of all size classes' snails to tolerate the low salinity 2.5 psu with 100% survival percentage, while the snails of size classes at least 10 mm and 10 - 25mm were able to tolerate the salinity of 11psu with 10% and 50% respectivly survival.There are variable effects of the combination of temperature and salinity on growth of newly hatched snails for 9 weeks experiment, these effects were reflected on the weight, length and width, and the highest of these measurements were recorded for snails of 2.5 psu - 27°C combination, while the lowest one was recorded in 7.5 psu - 10°C. The lowest survival percentage was 5% recorded for the individuals of 7.5 psu - 27 and 32°C, compared with 90% of distil water - 17°C. On the other hand, the optimum growth was in 2.5 psu all temperatures, while the optimum growth was in all salinities, and temperature of 27°C.The experimental study of five types of food fresh celery, fresh lettuce, fish food, mixed food and animal protein)on growth of newly hatched snails for 9 weeks. Showed that the mean weight, length and width of snails were depending on the food type. The mixed food gave significant increase in growth 382.1 mg weight, 10.10mm length and7.58mm width compared with the other types of food.The highest survival percentage 95% was recorded for the snails fed on celery, lettuce and fish food. The present study on the snail P. canaliculata does not record any infection by the larvae of parasites

Indian Musa acuminata L. In order to develop a program for micropropagation and were to investigate salt stress tolerance through the effect of NaCl, and water stress through Polyethelen glycol(PEG) and knowledge of the growth retardant of Paclobutrazol (PBZ) in multiplication of the branches vegetative and acclimatization and the effect of Abscisic acid(ABA) on improving salt and water stress tolerance. Halves of shoot tips were used explants which were cultured on MS medium supplied 5 m.l - 1 of Benzyl adenine (BA) to stimulate the multiplication of the branches vegetative and treated with different concentrations of sodium chloride and PEG and salt PBZ and ABA were calculating the number of branches vegetative resulting in diameter and height and number roots and length of follow - up and growth of agriculture and then conduct subculture for several times and then acclimatized and transferred to the plastic house.The results of this study can be summarized as follows : 1 - The addition of 0 or 20 or 50 or 80 or 120 mM of sodium chloride to the MS medium affected the multiplication of the branches vegetative in various percentages. This, in turn, resulted in a signficant increase in the required time to initiate the adventitious buds and lowered their number. There was also a significant difference in the percentage of increasing the numbers of those branches by increasing the salt concentrations. 2 - The addition of the concentrations 0 or 0.5 or 1 or 1.5 and 2 mg.l - 1 of growth retardant PBZ together with 5 mg.l - 1 BA resulted in lowering the required time for initiating the adventitious buds, increasing their number, decreased the number of roots and height of stem by increasing the concentration of PBZ.3 - The initial treatment by 1% PEG significantly increased than the concentration 0.5%. This increase included the number of the adventitious buds, number and length of roots, as well as height and diameter of stem.4 - The addition of 0.1 and 0.3 mg.l - 1 ABA to the nutrient medium led to lower th number and length of roots, stem height and diameter. The leaves became dry and yellow when compared to the control treatment. As far as the interactions between the sodium chloride concentrations in question are concerned, the two concentrations 20 and 50 mM showed a more significant difference than the other concentrations 80 and 120 mM in the number and length of roots, and stem length and height.5 - The addition of the sodium chloride to the nutrient medium resulted in a significat increase in the concentrations of sodium chloride ions and a significant decrease of potassium/ sodium percentage. The addition of PBZ, PEG, and ABA resulted in a significant decrease in chloride ion and a significant increase in potassium/ sodium percentage.6 - The sodium chloride treatment caused a significant increase in the leave content of Proline by incresing the salt. The interaction between sodium chloride salt concentrations and PBZ, PEG, and ABA showed a significant increase in the proline content by increasing salt concentration.7 - The treatment by the two concentrations 20 and 50 mM sodium chloride resulted in increasing the leave content of the total soluble carbohydrates, whereas the treatment by the two concentrations 80 and 120 Mm lowered the leave content. Considering the interaction between sodium chloride and PBZ, PEG and ABA, the interaction showed a significant increase in the leave content of carbohydrates at all concentrations compared to the control treatment.8 - The results showed that the leave content of chlorophyl increased significantly at the two concentrations 20 and 50 mM sodium chloride. Also, the treatment by PBZ, PEG, and ABA showed an increase in the chlorophyl content at all concentrations.9 - The resulted plantlets were acclimatized by sodium chloride salt concentrations and by the interaction of Sodium Chloride and PBZ, PEG, and ABA. The plant height and stem diameter were measured and compared to the control treatment.10 - The treatment by PBZ, PEG, and ABA concentrations that are interacted with Sodium Chloride salt concentrations at 20 and 50 mM led to lower the average percentage of lost moisture and increase the percentage of the success of acclimatization. 11 - Add Sodium chloride to the media has led to changes in the process of gene expression and the emergence of differences in the number and location and intensity of the protein packets.12 - The interaction between the sodium chloride and additives PBZ and PEG and ABA led to the disappearance of some packages and the emergence of other packages in different locations, especially packages 3 and 4.

Abstract: In the present study, the effect of human growth hormone on the muscles and gonads of common carp Cyprinus carpio (L. 1758) and red belly tilapia Tilapia zillii (Gervais, 1848) was studied by : - 1 - Studying the effect of human growth hormone on the growth of the two studied species by intraperitoneal (IP) injection of three replicates of control with 120 μg of normal saline / g Body weight and two doses (low and high) with 60 and 120 μg of human growth hormone / g Body weight respectively for both species, then changes were followed up in each treatment after every two weeks of injection by : - a - Pursue histological changes in the muscular tissue by using Cell Profiler software for the first time in Iraq. b - Pursue changes in chemical components ratios of body muscles.c - Measuring of specific growth rate and length - weight relationship for fishes.2 - Studying of human growth hormone effect on the gonads of fishes (adult males and females) with 60 males for each species and a same number of females, all of them injected either with low or high dose with 60 or 120 μg of human growth hormone / g Body weight respectively for both species or with 120 μg of normal saline / g Body weight in fishes of control. This experiment had achieved in a month.3 - Knowing the direct effect of human growth hormone on the follicles by implementing an in vitro experiment with the follicles of carp which implanted in basic salt solution (BBS) then growth hormone was added to the test tubes with two concentrations 5 μg/ ml and 10 μg/ ml, the control follicles were implanted in normal saline. The results of the study revealed that the maximum rate of percentages of the muscle fibers with area less than 314 μm2 for region R1(Dorsal side) was 88.29 % in carp in high dose treatment after the eighth week of injection, while it was 88.00 % for tilapia in high dose treatment after the eighth week of injection, too.In the region R2 (in tail) the maximum rate of percentages of muscle fibers with area less than 314 μm2 was recorded after the eighth week from the beginning of injection was 73.3553 % for carp in high dose treatment and 85.935% for tilapia in high dose treatment.The results showed that 1.00984 and 1.000074 were the highest and the lowest values of condition factor for carp respectively. For tilapia those were 1.009993 and 1.000151 the highest and the lowest values of it respectively.The rate of specific growth rate for length was 0.3616 and 0.44866 cm/day% for carp and tilapia respectively. While the specific growth rates for weight were higher than the comparable one for length and were 1.3489 g/day% for carp and 1.6085 g/day% for tilapia.The results exhibited that the rates of protein percentages for both species in the all treatments in general tend to be higher with progressing of experimental time. Muscle water content percentage rate varied with difference of dose and experimental time. The maximum rate of fat percentage in both species was in control treatment after two weeks of hormone administration.The highest rate of carp male Gonadosomatic index was 6.55% in high dose treatment after the third week of injection, as for tilapia males was 6.103% in low dose treatment after the third week of injection, while the lowest value for this index was recorded after the first week of injection in high dose treatment which as 2.81 and 2.89% for carp and tilapia respectively. For females the highest rate of Gonadosomatic index was in high dose treatment after the third week of injection for both species which was 11.001 and 6.0624% for carp and tilapia respectively. As for the lowest rate of carp female Gonadosomatic index was recorded in control treatment after the first week of injection it was 5.54%, while the lowest rate of this index for tilapia females was 2.99% in low dose treatment after the first week of injection.In the experiment of direct effect of this hormone on the follicles of carp it was found that the highest value of polarization index was 4.12 which recorded in high dose treatment after 48 hours of incubation while it reached the lowest value which was 3.031 in high dose treatment after 24 hours ofincubation.

Abstract: During the period from August 2015 to July 2016, fifty three aquatic birds of Larus genei (slender - billed Gull) family Laridae and 52 of Himantopus himantopus family Recurvirostridae were collected from Al - masehab marsh north of Basrah Province.The current study was focused on these two birds due to its economic importance to the local people of the study area. These two birds were found infected with 10 species of cestodes. Echinocotyle longirostris and Infula burhini were recorded for the first time in Iraq. Larus genei was considered as a new host of Wardium fusa.The isolated cestodes were described and compared with other recorded species at different parts of Iraq and the world.The percentage and the mean intensity of infection of these 10 species of cestodes were counted monthly and seasonly together with single, double and trible infection during the whole year. The main percentage infection was reached to 95.2% and the main intensity was 13.49. In L. genei the percentage and mean intensity were 90.5% and 15.4 recepectively, while for H. himantopus were 100% and 11.8 recpectively. In L. genei the high percentage infection was found in August 2015 and September , November, and December 2016, and during March, April, May, June and July for H. himantopus. A significant difference was recorded between the percentage and the mean intensity of infection.Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD) technique with random 6 primers was used to distinguish between Infula burhini and Acoleus vaginatus wich isolated from the bird H. himantopus due to the morphological similarities.The Scanning Electron Microscope (Pharmacy College, Basrah University) was used to photograph the scolex of A. vaginatus and I. burhini.

Abstract: اجريت الدراسة الحالية اثناء الموسم الزراعي للعام 2015م على احد عشر صنفا بذريا (غيباني) لنخيل التمر Phoenix dactylifera L. النامية في البصرة وهي اصناف جديدة تسجل لاول مرة, درست ثمان وعشرون صفة من صفات النمو الخضري, وست وعشرون صفة من الصفات الثمرية كما. درست صفات البذور, فتبين ان الاصناف المدروسة اختلفت في الخواص الخضرية والثمرية, اذ اظهرت الدراسة ان كلا الصنفين نبوي والصنف نجمة تميزا بشكل التاج الشبه منفتح في حين كانت الاصناف الباقية مضمومة التاج. وكذلك انفرد الصنف نجمة عن باقي الاصناف بلون الاوراق الاخضر الشمعي. وتراوح معدل طول الورقة من 2.68 م في صنف الوردية الى 4.35م في الصنف نمروشة, كما تراوح معدل طول منطقة الاشواك من 56 سم في صنف دكلة عبد الى 160سم في الصنف ام اللسين. وتباينت الاصناف في معدل عدد الاشواك فكان ما بين 18 شوكة في الصنف وردية الى 47 شوكة في الصنف ام اللسين. واختلفت الاصناف بنمط ترتيب الاشواك على المحور الوسطي فقد انفرد الصنف برماني بنمط توزيع الاشواك الثنائي وامتاز الصنف وردية بالنمط المفرد الثنائي في حين كان النمط المفرد هو السائد في الاصناف الباقية, واتضح من الدراسة ان النسبة المئوية لطول منطقة الاشواك الى طول الورقة الكلي هي من الصفات التي تتسم بالثبات دونا عن باقي الصفات الخضرية. اما بالنسبة للخواص الثمرية فقد تراوح معدل طول العرجون للاصناف المدروسة مابين 66 سم في الصنف رحماني الى 152سم في الصنف برماني والذي يعد من العراجين الطويلة, وانفرد الصنف دكلة داود بلون العرجون الاصفر المائل للوردي اما الصنفين برماني ونجمة فقد كان لون العراجين فيهما اخضر في حين كان لون العراجين في الصنفين وردية ونبوي اصفر يميل للاخضرار واصفر في باقي الاصناف. اما الخواص الفيزيائية المدروسة للثمار فقد سجل الصنف دكل داود اقل المعدلات في حجم الثمرة في مرحلتي الخلال والتمر والتي كانت 5سم3 و2.6سم3 على التوالي, وامتاز الصنف الزريجي بكبر حجم ثماره لكلا المرحلتين الخلال والتمر 17سم3 و10.24سم3 على التوالي, وتبين ان طعم الخلال في الاصناف وردية ودكلة عبد والصنف رحماني والصنف زريجي عفصي اما الاصناف الباقية فهي حلوة المذاق. وامتاز الصنف نجمة بكونه مبكر جدا في موعد النضج وكانت الاصناف الباقية مبكرة النضج في حين كان الصنف برماني متوسط النضج, وامتازت اصناف الدراسة بكون التمور فيها طرية القوام عدا الصنف رحماني الذي كان قوام التمر فيه شبه جاف. واستخدمت الدراسة برنامج التحليل الالي لتحليل المكونات الرئيسة للثمار في مرحلة الخلال, فتبين ان الاصناف انقسمت بمجموعتين وحسب التقارب في البيانات المغذاة للبرنامج فانعزل الصنف الزريجي بمجموعة مستقلة لكون بياناته متفردة, اما المجموعة الثانية فقد توزعت الاصناف فيها الى تحت مجموعة, صغرى ضمت الاصناف دكلة داود ونجمة واقترب منهما الصنف وردية, اما الاصناف الباقية فتوزعت هي الاخرى بتحت مجموعتين. استخدمت الدراسة الجزيئية تقانة PCR RAPD لتثبيت البصمة الوراثية للاصناف المدروسة ولكشف الارتباط الوراثي بينها, وجرى باختبار عشرة بادئات عشوائية من مجموعة OPA وبادئان من مجموعة OPB. تم تحليل نواتج التفاعلات للبادئات مع Genomic DNA الاصناف كافة وكل على حده لتحديد مدى كفات البادئ فكانت النتيجة ان اربعة من البادئات ( OPA0.2 وOPA0.3 وOPA0.5 وOPA0.6) نجحت في كشف التباين بين الاصناف المدروسة, وبينت نتائج التحليل العنقودي للنواتج التفاعلات للبادئات ان الاصناف توزعت بمجموعتين, صغرى ضمت كل من الاصناف زريجي ونمروشة والصنف ام اللسين ومجموعة كبرى ضمت الاصناف الباقية, وقد توزعت فيها الاصناف الى تحت مجموعة ثانوية. مما يشير الى الاصول المشتركة, وبينت الدراسة امكانية انتخاب اصناف بذرية تمتاز بخصائص ثمرية جيدة وتكثيرها لدعم الاقتصاد الوطني. | This study was performed during agronomic season in 2015 on 11 cultivars (ghaibany) Phoenix dactylifera L. that grow in basrah, and these cultivars are new recorder. Twenty eight characteristics of vegetative growth were studied, seed characteristics were studied also. It was concluded that the studied cultivars varied in there vegetative and fruit qualities. The study showed that both cv Nabawy and cv Najma distinguished by semi - opened crown but the other cultivars had closed crown . In addition, cv Najma marked by waxen green leaves. The rate of leaf length ranged from 2.68 m in. cv Wardiah to 4.35m in cv Nammrosha. besides the length of spine area ranged from 56 cm in cv Deglat Abd cultivars to 160 cm in cv Am - Ellsian. The cultivars also varied in the rate of spine number which was 18 in cv Wardiah an 47 in cv Am - Ellsian. The cultivars differed in the style of spine arrangement on rachis since cv Bermany distinguished by the dual style of spine arrangement, while in cv Wardiah marked by single dual style, however the single style was prevalent in other cultivars. The study clarified that the percentage between spine area to the total length of the leaf was one of qualities that characterized by stability that differed from other vegetative characteristics. As for fruit characteristics, the length of peduncle of cultivars concerned ranged from 66 in cv Rahmany cultivars to 152 in Bermany and that was regarded long peduncle. cv Deglat Dawood marked by colour of peduncle which was yellow look like rosy, whereas cv Bermany and cv Najma the colour of their peduncle were yellow look like green and yellow in the rest. As for physical characteristics of studied fruit, cv Deglat Dawood recorded the lowest rates in the volume of fruit during the phases of khalal and dates, the volume was 5 c.m and 2.6 c.m respectively, cv Zraigai distinguished by the bigness of the volume of the fruit for both phases of khalal and date 17c.m and 10.24 c.m. The taste of khalal in the cultivars of cv Deglat Abd, cv Wardiah, Rahmany, cv Zreigai was tannic while the taste of other cultivars were sweet. cv Najma cultivars distinguished by being so early in maturity, the other cultivars were early in maturity but cv Bermany was middle in maturity. The dates of studied cultivars were soft except cv Rahmany that was semi - dry. The study used a program of automatic analysis to analyze the main components of fruit in khalal phases the, it became clear that the cultivars divided into two groups according to the convergence data that fed to the program. cv Zraigai cultivars was isolated in independent group because its data were unique, but the second group ,cultivars in which were classified in small group included cultivars of cv Deglat Dawood and cv Najma and cv Wardiah approached to this group. The other cultivars classified into two groups.The molecular study used P C R RAPD technique to fix genetic print of studied cultivars and to discover the genetic link among them. Ten of random primers of OPA group were tested and two of OPB were tested too. The products of reaction of primers were analyzed Genomic DNA for cultivars totally and individually; to determine the efficiency of primer the results was that for of primers succeeded in discovering the variation among cultivars concerned. The result of cluster analysis of reaction products of primers showed that the cultivars divided into two groups : small group included cv Zairgai, cv Nammrosha and cv Am - Ellsian cultivars, and big group contained the other cultivars in which cultivars distributed into secondary group and that refer to the common origin. The study showed the ability of electing and increasing Ghaibany cultivars that marked by good characteristics to support national economy

Abstract: The present study intended to shed the light on some biological aspects of the invasive oriental river Shrimp Macrobrachium nipponense compared with that of Jinga shrimp Metapenaeus affinis . For this purpose, Monthly samples were collected and chosen from four Aquatic sites was chosen in the Basrah province (one at each of Al - Mashab and Al - Sallal Marshes and two at Al - Garmah River) during the period from July 2015 to June 2016. collection was done by Fishnet pulled by a boat .The Shrimp numbers were calculated during the time unit (ind./hour) .The Water’s temperature and salinity were studied, it ranged from 15 - 33 ͦ c and 2 - 9.1psu respectively. From a total of 3326, individuals were collected during the study period, only 7% were belong to the first shrimp (M. nipponense ) Compared with 93% to the second shrimp( M. affinis ).The number of each species studied shrimps, varied the monthly. The high number of M. nipponense was 38(ind./hour) recorded during July 2015 and June 2016, while the lowest was 2 (ind./hour) recorded during October and November 2015 . For M. affinis The number of individuals ranged between 980(ind./hour) during August 2015 and 29 (ind./hour) during November 2015 .The comparative monthly percentages were high during seven and six months in the marshes sites recorded for first and second shrimp respectively. The monthly variation in percentages of the two species of shrimps was studied, It ranged (for M. affinis) from 98.8% during August 2015 to 56.8% during July 2015 , while for M. nipponense , It ranged from 43.2% during July 2015 to 1.2% during August 2015 .The results of Frequency showed that the highest percent (100%) was recorded in four months for M. nipponense , these are July, October 2015 February and May 2016. While M. affinis was recorded in most months.Summary bThe population sizes for the two species were studied. For the first species( M. nipponense ), the size class 50 - 60mm dominant during all months of the study period, While for the second species (M. affinis), the size classes 40 - 50, 50 - 60, 60 - 70, and 70 - 80 were recorded during all the months for the first shrimp, the highest percent was 47.3% recorded for the size class 70 - 80 mm , While there is no individuals recorded for the size class 10 - 20 mm during all the months except July 2015 for the second shrimps ,the percentage ranged between 41.4% and less than 1% recorded during May 2016 to March 2016 respectively. On the other hand , the total Frequency for M. nipponense ranged from 83.3% to 0% for the size classes 70 - 80 mm and 10 - 20 mm respectively, While for M. affinis was from 100% recorded for the classes 40 - 50, 50 - 60, 60 - 70 and 70 - 80mm to 8.3% for the class .The Length - Length and Length - weight relationships for the two species were studied The results showed positive correlation between the total length and each of cephalothorax length and abdomen length (r= 0.932 and r= 0.945 respectively, P≤0.01 ) for M. nipponense , Also M. affinis , the correlation was positive for the total length and each of cephalothorax length(r= 0.938) and abdomen length (r= 0.971) (P≤0.01 ) . The correlation was positive between the total length and wet weight for each M. nipponense (r= 0.918 P≤0.01) and M. affinis (r= 0.913 P≤0.01).The Statistical analysis for the weight - weight relationships showed positive correlation between dry and wet weight for M. nipponense (r= 0.966, P≤0.01) and M. affinis (r= 0.918 P≤0.01).The correlation between the lengths of the body and the 2nd chela for male & female of M. nipponense (r= 0.909 and r= 0.823 respectively), these values of correlation refer to the continuous growth of the 2nd chela in male even after the adult stage .Summary cThe concentrations of ten heavy and light metals in shells & muscles of the two shrimps were studied. The results showed a significant differences in eight of them (Cadmium, Potassium, Calcium, Iron, Magnesium, Nickel, Zinc and Sodium) . While there is no significant differences recorded for Lead and Cobalt .The study of some biological aspect which concerned with distribution of eggs on pleopods of females of M. nipponense , showed that the highest mean of eggs was 547.3 (38%) carried on the 2nd pleopod while there are fewer means carried on 1st and 3rd pleopods , and no carry eggs (0%)were carried on the 5th pleopod. The Statistical analysis showed that there was significant differences between the eggs carried on 4th and 5th pleopods and each of the rest ones . lengths of pleopod was positively correlated with the number of eggs (r= 0.661, P≤0.01) The weight of ovigerous female was positively correlated with weight of eggs (r= 0.835, P≤0.01) .The combined effects of salinity and temperature on survival of newly hatched larvae (zoea1 and zoea2) of M. nipponense for 24 & 48 hours’ were tested.The highest survival percentage (100%) for zoea1 was recorded in 12 psu salinity in each of 18, 22 and 26 ͦ c ,While the lowest survival (0%) was recorded in distal water in each 30 and 34 ͦ c . the highest survival percentage was recorded in 12 psu salinity in each 18, 22, 26 and 30 ͦ c. While the lowest one recorded in distal water and 34 ͦ c. The Statistical analysis showed that the percentage survival correlates negatively with temperature and positively with salinity each alone. the combined effect of salinity and temperature on survival was positive with percentage ranged between 38 - 56 % .

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.
