Abstract: This study aimed for isolation and identification of Klebsiella spp.from clinical and environmental samples and detection the prevalence of some extended spectrum β - lactamases (ESBLs) genes (bla CTX - M, bla CTXM1) in Klebsiella spp. Samples collected were included clinical samples ( Burns , wounds , urinary tract infections, respiratory tract infections, otitis media and vaginal infections ) and hospitals environments. A total of 554 (468 clinical and 86 environmental samples) during the period from October 2013 to March 2014 were collected. Growth on blood agar, MacConkey agar and E.M.B agar was identified by cultural, morphological and biochemical tests and confermated by API 20 E system which revealed that : 45 ∕ 554 ( 8,1%) gave positive growth for Klebsiella spp. as following : 2 ∕ 48 (4.1 %) fromburns , 7∕ 40 (17.5 %) from wounds, 29 ∕315 ( 9.2%) from urinary tract infections, 4 ∕ 25 (16%) from respiratory tract infections, 3 ∕86 (3,4%) from hospitals environments.All the 45 isolates of Klebsiella spp. were screened for their antibiotic resistance against 15 antibiotics of different classes using Kirby - Bauer disk diffusion method. The results showed that all the tested isolates were resistant to at least 6 antibiotics of which they were tested, hence the isolates were considered to be multidrug resistant.The results showed that all of the isolates were found to be resistant to β - lactam antibiotic (ampicillin and amoxicillin) Disk approximation test and not production of ESBLs by these isolates.Combined disk diffusion method was used for detection of metallo - β - lactamase - producing isolates , it was emplace each of imipenem and antibiotic with and without EDTA on Mueller - Hinton agar , because EDTA working to inhibit of metallo - β - lactamase . The results showed that there was no effect for EDTA on the diameter of inhibition zone in all isolates.All the 45 isolates were submitted to molecular detection of some ESBLs genes (bla CTX - M , bla CTX - M1) using PCR technique. The results showed that only 28 ( 62,2%) isolates were carried ) blaCTX - M or blaCTXM1) and 21 isolates were carried both genes (blaCTX - M and blaCTXM1).

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

Abstract: The current study was performed to get the knowledge of seasonal and Reginal changes in concentration of some trace elements(Zn, Pb , Ni and Co) in sediment, water and aquatic plant (Ceratophyllum demersum) in the Euphrates River at Suq _ Alshuyoukh district, south of Iraq . The study was include some of the chemical and physical properaties for water (air and water temperature,turbidity, electrical conductivity,salinity,dissolved oxygen , biochemical oxygen dimand, pH,nitrate,phosphat also total organic carbon and sediment texture). The samples were collected from the river on seasonaly from Autumn 2015 to summer 2016. There are three stations were selected for the study , the first station was near by the tourist Alfadhliyah bridge, afertile farmland on both sides of the river. The second station was in Suq_Alshuyokh , it's away from the first station about 15 km , it's a center of boats which used for fishing ,agriculture lands and homes. The third station was located in stream of ALkermashiya which lieson snuffa_marsh (apart of the Hammar marsh) ,It's away from the second station about 11 km and it's near by villages and fertile farmland. The results of study showed that air temperature was ranged between (15.8 - 49.5)° C and water temperature was ranged between (13.8 - 48.7 ) °C . The highest temperature recorded in the third location during Summer. Turbidity concentrations ranged between (5.7 - 15.6) NTU. The electrical conductivity are ranging between (3920 - 8336) Ms/cm , and salinity of water was low (Oligohaline) ranging between (2.50 - 5.33) ppt and recorded the highest concentrations in the third station . the highest value of pH was (8.9) in the secondstation and the lowest value was (7.3) in the first location while the Dissolved Oxygen concentrations ranged between (3.1 - 8.45) mg/L. The biological oxygen demand (BOD5) was ranged between (0.35 - 4.5) mg /L. As for concentration of nitrates was ranged from (0.02 - 6.33) mg/L. and phosphate ranged between (0.01 - 5.8) mg/L. the total organic carbon as percentage was ranged between (0.48 - 3.1) %.while sediment texture was mixed from sand ,silt,clay,the percentage for the mentiond compenents was,(50%,20% and 30%)in station 1,(40%,10%,50%)for station 2 and (10%,20% and 70%) for station3Atomic absorption spectrofotometer was used to estimate four trace elements (Zn,Pb, Co, and Ni) .The concentrations of the mentionel elements in water dissolved phase were (2.86,5.87,1.63,0.51) μg /L,while their concentrations in particulate phase were (12.48,28.21,17.74,1.08) μg /gm dry weight respectively. In sediment the concentrations averages oftrace elements were (142.73,127.70,176.82,29.24) μg /gm dry weight respectively.In aquatic plant (Ceratophylum demersum) the concentrations averages of trace elements were (123.32,117.54,157.54,27.90) μg /gm dry weight respectively . It concluded that the concentration of studied elements in sediment more than their concentration in water (dissolved and particulate) phase and more than their concentration in plant (Ceratophyllum demersum), also all concentrations of trace elements were in the international acceptable values.

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

Abstract: The current study was conducted for the period from September 2015 until August 2016 in college of Education for Pure Sciences - University of Thi - Qar, this study aimed to fallow the embryonic lung development and evaluate histological changes in embryos's lung development when pregnant mice treated with different doses of Dexamethasone (Dex) and evaluate Alpha - fetoprotein (AFP) levels were evaluated as an indicator for congenital malformations. Sixty pregnant mice were randomly divided into four groups and each group contain 15 pregnant mice. The members of each group were given specific dose of Dex and at different time periods, while the control group injected with a solution of Normal Saline 0.9%.All animals received doses used by tail intravenous injection until the end of the time periods specified .Blood samples were taken for the purposes of biochemical parameters account as well as the collection of samples for histological study .The treatment of animals under the same conditions were determined with a dose based on body weight, according to what was stated in the pharmaceutical constitutions where's the therapeutic dosage was 0.002 mg \2mg (0.1mg.kg from body weight ). We used another two concentrations from drug ,one less than the therapeutic dosage (0.05mg \kg from body weight) and another more than the therapeutic dosage (0.2mg \kg from body weight ).The results have showed that was a negative effects on mice embryo's body weights and the lengths increase with increasing of number and doses concentrations. The using of different doses of Dex also showed various changes in general external morphological features and congenital malformation in embryos of treated mothers included : Death of embryos ,placenta damage ,neural Tube Defect ,Trunk Torsion ,Headhemorrhage, Brain hypertrophy ,Liver Hypertrophy ,Letter C Shape Embryos, swelling ,Convoluted Tail ,Short nostril and limbs, curved head, Wrinkled skin ,Crooked pave ,Short toes ,Seal legs appearance, Oedema ,absent fingers and eyelids ,Tail congestion and Bulging eyes. Histologically microscopic examination showed histological changes with varied severity and appearing between different sub experimental group compared with the control group.Rapid elongation in lung bud, advancing in lung development, the lung asflower appearance, Loosely lung mesenchyme ,necrosis in lung tissue ,mucus hypersecretion, elongation in epithelial air ways,epithelial Hyperplasia ,mesenchyme looks as butterfly in appearance in some parts ,thinning of alveolar walls ,thinning of the interstitialmesenchymal lung tissue ,elongation of developing alveolar septa ,free alveolar septa. Alfa - fetoprotein (AFP) levels showed different concentrations value in correlation with congenital malformations .when the (AFP) value was high there were neural tube defects and advancing in the lung development while they were low in normal lung development and in brain hypertrophy.

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

Abstract: during field studies have been done in order to know the spread of sand flies in Maysan province during the beginning of October /2015 until the end of September 2016 through the collecting of samples from five areas that geographically different which included the areas of AL - majer AL - kabber, AL - uzair, AL - musharah , kumait and Mugharbah in the middle of the center of province .1263 insect have been collected by two types of traps light insect traps and manual insect traps. These insects included two species : papatasi and sergenti which belong to the same genus ( phlebotomus ) the number of the first species insects was more than of the second species. The number of the first species reached 85.90% while the number of the second species was 14.04% . The inset had been classified in transmitted diseases center in BaghdadThe insects have been found in the whole areas of the studying except the species sergenti which has been not found in the area of AL - majer AL - kabber . There are two peak spread times of these insects : The first is through out October and the second is the through out may . Concerning the relationship between the spread of these insects and the occurrence of Leishmaniasis positivewhere the infestation by this disease began on September November and December and the peak spread is recorded on January on the country of the inset occurrence where it begins at spring and the beginning of autumn . The spread of these insects was in flounced by the environmental factors such as temperatures and humidity . The flagellated promastigotes of leishmania parasite were not found during the anatomy of a lot of insects.Four chemical insecticides were used to control these insects where the effect of the insecticides (snake) was the strongest for killing these insects.515 infection of Leishamaniasis has been recorded in Maysan province at proportion of 506 cutaneous infestation and 9 visceral infection respectively .The rate of skin infestation was high in age groups between (1 - 10 ) year in comparison with another age groups.Concerning the types of ulcer ,the dry ulcer were dominant and the number of dry ulcers was 873 while wet ulcers were 100 concerning the diameter of the ulcer the higher infections occurred at diameter of 1 Cm which reached 873 infection . The number of patients infected by one ulcer was the highest which reached 301 infestation.The number of dry infestation in the cities was higher than in rural areas on the contrary of wet infestation . concerning the distribution of skin infestation on the body areas the higher ratio of infestation occurred in higher and lower extremities which reached 344 at proportion of 68.57%.The infestation of skin Leishmaniasis has been concentrated in the center of province which reached 334 at proportion of 66.07%.Concerning the months of the year , the majority of skin leishmaniasis was on January which reached 137 at ratio of 27.66%most of visceral leishmaniasis occurred in the patients of blood group type O proportion of 33.33% .The infection of visceral Leishmaniasis in males was higher than of females and the highest than and the highest infection of visceral Leishmaniasis was in age groups between (1 - 3) years and also the number of visceral Leishmaniasis infestation was the highest on January . Kumait areas is characterized by the presence of the highest visceral Leishmaniasis infestation.

Abstract: Burn injuries are considered as health problems that may sometimes lead to rapid death. Bacteria are considered as the most important causes of microbial infection associated with burns. In present study, 75 clinical samples were collection from patients with burns for the period from October 2015 to June 2016 from the lobby burns in Sadr Teaching Hospital in the Maysan Governorate, these burn swabs revealed 56 bacterial isolates, 41 (73.21%) were Gram - negative bacterial, distributed of (35.71%) Pseudomonas aeruginosa, (28.57%) Klebsella Pneuomonia, (3.57%) Escherichia coli ,Enterobacter (5.35%). On the other hand 6(10.71%)were Gram - positive bacterial. out of 75 burned swabs, 84% revealed a single pathogens and 16% shown a mixed bacteria. On the other hand, Antimicrobial susceptibility for the bacterial burn isolates revealed that P. aeruginosa was resistant to routine tested antibiotics, like Amoxicillin, Gentamycin and Tobramycin in 100%, While was resistance to Ciprofloxacin 85%, while most P. aeruginosa was sensitive to Ceftizmiden in 50%. Results also showed that Staph. aureus was resistant to Gentamycin, Tobramycin, and Levofloxacin in 50% respectively.Depending on the rate of injury burns microbial and resistance to antibiotics used, p.aeruginosa and Staph.aureus isolated from the burnswere chosen and study their role in the events of infection, experimental burns, and for this purpose has been the use Albino mouse male as a model for a pilot study for pathogenesis and progress associated with the infection of the disease bacterial burns. (33) male mice were divided into tow groups, the first group(24) mice were burned (deep dermal second degree) and infection by 0.2X108 cfu kg of elected isolates, the route of infection was subcutaneously and scratching within burned area. In the second group six were infected without burn, which was considered as positive control, while in the thirdgroup three mice were burned and injected by 0.2ml of normal saline and consider as negative control .the first group was subdivided into two subgroups (12) mices for each burn dominant pathogens, then divided into subgroups each of six mices and following up (3,7, days intervals post infection process). P.aeruginosa burned mice group, shown skin infection more progressive and more severity in comporning with group infected by Staph. aureus, In addition, they were significant increases in the body temperature of all infection burned mice group(p.value)compared with those pre - infection process. Reisolation of bacteria from infection mice organs revealed, that high percentages in experimental p.aeruginosa burned model comparison with Staph. aureus.Diagnosed bacterial isolates by API 20and Vitek compact system, in addition to molecular diagnostics using PCR technique for the detection of 16S rRNA gene, All isolates showed a positive result of this gene. The amplified 16S rRNA gene seguence was compared with the seguence in NCBI seguence database.the bacterial strain identified as P.aeruginosa EPSI. This study reflects the usefulness of sequence analysis of the 16S ribosomal RNA gene in identifying bacteria and determining bacterial diversity. Various techniques that are based on utilizing the 16S rRNA gene are discussed. Of critical importance is the use of massively parallel sequencing to study bacterial diversity. Through massively parallel sequencing which is replacing traditional methods of bacterial identification; various bacterial habitats are surveyed to compile their species compositions.

All those individuals were suffering from diarrhea and abdominal pain. This study included the microscopic identification of Entamoeba Spp. using direct wet amount and concentration techniques in order to diagnose both Trophozoite and cyst stages of the parasite. The result revealed that 1050 (26.86%) of the collected samples were infected with Entamoeba Spp. Out of these infected samples, 80 were randomly selected for further confirmation by conventional PCR and 18S rRNA. Using this method, 28 (35%) was recorded to have Entamoeba Spp. Positive samples from conventional PCR were further examined by Nested PCR for species specific identification. The result of this method showed the presence of two species, E. histolytica (39.29%) and E. dispar (39.29%).Positive samples for molecular examination (28) were then examined by Real time PCR in order to verify and confirm the molecular results. Two probes were used, Histolytica - 96 Tfor E. histolytica and Dispar - 96 T for E. dispar. A significant difference was observed between two methods. E. histolytica was found to be higher percentage followed by E. dispar and then Entamoeba Spp., 53.57%, 39.29% and 7.14% respectively. The Real time PCR reported mono - infection with E. histolytica in 45.5% and with E. dispar in 27.2%, whereas reported mixed infections by both parasites in 27.3%. Red blood cells (RBCs) were detected in 80% E. histolytica positive samples and in 54.55% E. dispar positive ones.The environmental factors and their correlation with Entamoeba Spp. prevalence were also included in this study. The infection prevalence based on the seasonal variation showed significant differences P≤ 0.05. Summer recorded the highest infection prevalence whereas the lowest was in the winter, 37.06% and 14.14% respectively. Regarding the infection in age groups, the highest percentage (30.5%) was recorded in under 3 years old group and the lowest (17.13%) was found in above 10 years old one. However, no significant difference P≤ 0.05 was observed between these age groups. Furthermore, no significant differences were recorded betweenpatient’s sex. Entamoeba Spp. infection (37.98%) appeared to be higher in children who belong to families with low standard of living compared to those who are from families that earning a higher income (10.11%). A Similar pattern was found in Entamoeba Spp. prevalence based on the number of the patient’s family members. Higher prevalence and significant difference were reported (39.95%) in patients who belong high family member (above 10), compared to those from 3 - 5family member (8.54%).One hundred and fifty blood samples from infected children with Entamoeba Spp. and fifty samples from healthy children as a control were collected during the present study in order to observe the change in blood picture and parameters between two groups. Significant differences were reported in blood hemoglobin (10.16%) and volume of packed RBCs (34.7%) in the infected group compared to 12.34% and 39.10% in the control group. Total leukocyte count was found to be significantly higher in the infected group (11.3) compared to the individuals in the control group (3.37). Differential leukocyte count also showed significant differences in Neutrophils (6.92%, 4.03), eosinophils (0.61, 0.17), monocytes (1.19,0.93) and lymphocytes (2.19, 2.76) in infected and control groups respectively.

Abstract: This study included 3 stages. In the first stage, Toxoplasma gondii was isolated from aborted women placenta who visited Bent Al - Huda hospital and Al - Shatra hospital after confirmation of the prescence of parasite by impression smear method. Then parasite uspension injected 0.3 ml which contain 100 cyst intraperitoneally (174 rat) to 87 male and 87 female rats, inaddition to control group 30 rat (15 male and 15 female). After 10 days of injection, diagnosed the acute infection by Real - Time Poplymerase Chain Reaction(Real - Time PCR) and showed 97.70% (170 infected rat and 4 noninfected rat) , in male 96.55% (84 infected rat and 3 noninfected) ,in female 98.85% (86 infected rat and 1 noninfected) . After 2months of infection 84 animals (42 males and 42 females)were sacrificed, dissected (brain, testis and ovary ) were isolated to confirm the occurance of chronic infection with the using Real - Time PCR. The incidence of infection was 100% in brain males and ovary females and recorded 71.43% in testis and 90.48% in brain females. So diagnosed infection by impression smear method, identified the amount of DNA of the parasite T. gondii by using Real - Time PCR. The use of the remaining number of animals within the following experiments.The second stage included effect of experimental Toxoplasmosis infection and some drugs on fertility 168 rat (84 male and 84 female). Animals were subdivided into 6 groups for each group included 14 rat : (First group) non infected treated by DMSO, (Second roup) non infected treated by Sulfadiazine, (Third group) non infected treated by Pyrimethamine, (Fourth group) infected treated by DMSO, (Fifth group) infected treated by Sulfadiazine and (Sixth group) infected treated by Pyrimethamine.The current study results revealed prominent effect of T. gondii infection on the hormonal level in both males and females. T. gondii infection induced significant decline in Luteinizing Hormone (LH), Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) and Testosterone levels in nfected male compared with non infected males treated by DMSO. Sulf. and Pyr. treatment significantly elevated the level of these hormones (P <0.01) in infected males compared with fourth group similar to levels its in first group. Toxoplasmosis in female rats significantly decrease FSH, LH, Estrogen and Progesterone levels in compared with first group, while treating of infected females with Sulf. and Pyr. didn,t improve the declined levels of these hormones in infected and noninfected females comparedwith fourth and first group, respectively.The study showed that Toxoplasmosis in male rats induced significant decline in the sperm count in the epididymal cauda, sperm viability and relative weights of male sexual organs with an increase in sperm malformation ratio in infected male compared with first group. Treatment with Sulf. and Pyr. in infected male significanthy elevated the sperm count and viability (P<0.05), compared with fourth group. Sulf. didn,t induced further significant changes, but Pyr. induced further significant increase in sperm malformation ratio in infected (P< 0.01) and non infected (P<0.05) rats. The study also revealed that Toxoplasmosis significantly decrease the relative weight of ovary and uterus compared with first group, while treatment with Sulf. and Pyr. increased the declined relative weight of the ovary and uterus in the infected females.Testicular histological section of Toxoplasmosis infected male rats treatment with DMSO showed vacular degeneration of spermatogonia and spermatocytes. The seminiferous tubules revealed sever degeneration, shrinkal, necrosis, hemorrhage. Seminiferous tubules lumen contained little amount of sperm with appearance of gaint cell, polymorphonuclear leukocytes and exfoliated cellular debris. Metamorphosis and disintegration of the tissue between the seminiferous tubules was also observed compared to the first group that showed complex histologically intact while testes sections of infected rats treatment Pyr. and Sulf. showed improvement by removing histocompatibility damage caused by the parasite infection.The epididymal sections of T. gondii infected rats treatment with DMSO showed infiltration of mononuclear and multinucleated gaint cell. Sections also showed hyperplasia of duct lining and contained tissue cyst of T. gondii. All these changes were improved in infected males treated by Sulf. and Pyr. Ovary sections of the infected females treatment with DMSO compared with first group revealed decreased primary and secondary follicle increased follicle atresia. Histological sections of ovary females showed in the fifth and sixth group to increase the number of primary and secondary follicles and decreased number of follicle atresia compared overian sections for the fourth group. Uterine sections of the infected females treatment with DMSO showed hypertrophy, increase endometrial thickness and myometerium, increase polymorphonuclear cell infiltration, fewer glands and congestion of blood vessels compared with first group. Histological sections for ovary females of the fifth and sixth group showed changes but less severe than is present in the fourth group.In third stage from studying Toxoplasmosis on fertility parameters of male and female rats, 84 rat(42 male and 42 female) which showed the results of the current study, when paired fertilized healthy females by males is infected and infected of T.gondii treatment with Sulf. , Pyr. and DMSO, and inversion, there is the effect of the parasite and used drugs the percentage of getting pregnant and pregnancy size and rate of embryos weight and placental weight and increase the proportion of fetal resorption and the proportion of early loss of embryos in fertilized healthy females by males five groups compared to the first group.Based on that conclude from the study that the infection of parasite T. gondii had negative effects on the fertility of male and female, and that all of thePyr. and Sulf. were not honest is the other of the impact on reproductive functions.

The aim of this study is to find the optimal and near optimal solutions for the sum of cost of total flow time and maximum late work with unequal ready time, this problem denoted by 1????????⁄Σ????????+????????????????????????=1⁄. The problem is strongly NP - hard, the branch and bound method was using to find optimal solution. Two lower bounds (LB1, LB2) are proposed each of them based on decompose the problem into two sub problems. The lower bounds of the problem is the sum of the lower bounds of the two sub problems. A heuristic which gives an upper bound in the root node of BAB algorithm was proposed, its effective in finding an optimal or near optimal schedule. Also, we proved some special cases of the problem which lead to optimal solution, three dominance rules were stated and proved. The results of extensive computational tests show that the proposed BAB algorithm is effective in solving problems up to (35) jobs at a time less than or equal to (30) minutes.We apply two local search methods to find near optimal solutions : Artificial Fish Swarm Algorithm (AFSA) and Fruit Fly Optimization Algorithm (FOA) .Computational experience found that these local search methods can solve the problem up to (6000) jobs with reasonable time, also found that : The AFSA has better results for the problem of size less than or equal to (35) jobs, but for the problems of size larger than (35) jobs, The FOA has the best results. All methods used in this research are programmed by using a programming language (MATLAB Language).

Abstract: The dye sensitized solar cell (DSSC) is one of the photochemical electric cells, which consists of the photo electrode, dye, electrolyte, and the counter electrode. The advantage of DSSC is the low cost of the solar energy conversion into electricity because of inexpensive materials and the relative ease of the fabrication processes. In this work, titanium dioxide (TiO2) films as a photo electrode were prepared from anatas titanium Oxid (TiO2) nanoparticles and deposited by doctor blade method on fluorine doped tin oxide (FTO)coated glass substrates. After the process of deposition that including the prepared samples in the oven, the temperature raises from room temperature (R.T) to set up to around 400°C. Half an hour later, the temperature started to decrease to reach theroom temperature (R.T) . Multi - walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT)used as a counter electrode instead of platinum(Pt),where prepared by spray pyrolysis technique (SPT) at 300°C,10 sec as spraying time ,and 60 sec stopped time. In the next step, Preparing the dye solution at room temperature then placed TiO2 electrode in the dye solution for 24 hours in the dark .The last step is collecting two electrodes one over the other leads to build a solar cell. Then a mixture electrolyte about(0.6 M 1 - methyl - 3 propoylimidazolium iodide (PMII) + 0.1 M LiI )is dipped onto the surfaces of both (FTO glass/TiO2NP/D149/PMII and MWCNTs/FTO)glasses .The thickness about (400nm) and the films are prepared under various deposition conditions in order to understand the effect of the temperature on the cell properties and to specify the optimum condition. X - ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM) are used for the structural analysis.Raman scattering spectrum used to determine the type of material CNTs used for DSSCs fabrication , Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) used for description as an analysis for system chemical structure of the atoms. UV and visible spectra have been recorded as a function of wavelength in the range (200 - 1000 nm) in order to study the optical properties such as reflectance, energy gap of allowed and forbidden direct transitions, extinction coefficient, refractive index, and dielectric constant in real and imaginary parts. It has been found that all the investigated parameters are affected by the sensitizer dye in the visible region of the spectrum .Finally I - V characteristic curves of the fabricated cell were measured and studied, this cell shows highest photovoltaic performances to date as Solid state dye sensitive solar cells
