Some studies focused on the role of insulin status, while others concentrated on lipid disturbances or even oxidative stress disorders in the diabetes. This study was conducted on randomly selected 68 type 2 diabetic patients (27 Males and 41 Females) attending the diabetes mellitus center in Al - Sadder Teaching Hospital in Al - Najaf province, Iraq and a group of 20 apparently healthy subjects (10 Males and 10 Females) were included as a control group. The study was carried out from February 2013 to July 2013. The age of patients and control groups were range of 35 - 65years. The concentration of fasting blood glucose, cholesterol, triglyceride, LDL, VLDL, HDL, Apelin, Omentin, Vaspin, Visfatin and BMI were estimated in patients and control groups. The results show significant increase (P?0.05) in fasting blood glucose, cholesterol, triglyceride, LDL, VLDL, Apelin, Vaspin and Visfatin levels in patients compared with control groups, also the results show significant decrease (P?0.05) in HDL and Omentin level in patients compared with control groups. The results revealed that all biomarkers (Apelin, Omentin, Vaspin and Visfatin) not significant difference (P>0.05) in patients at different ages. The results also revealed that biomarkers (Apelin, Vaspin and Visfatin) levels increase significantly (P?0.05) in males than females in both patients and control groups, while the result of omentin level reveal no significant difference (P>0.05) between males and females in both patients and control groups. The results also revealed that significant increase (P?0.05) in BMI in patients compared with control groups. The results also show that biomarkers (Apelin, Vaspin and Visfatin) concentration increase significantly (P?0.05) with increasing BMI in males than females compared with control groups, while the result of omentin concentration show no significant difference (P>0.05) in patients and control groups and show lower significantly increase (P?0.05) in females than males compared with control groups. The results have been shown significant positive correlation (P?0.05) between biomarkers (Apelin, Vaspin and Visfatin) and FBG, cholesterol, triglyceride, LDL and VLDL in patients (males and females), while the results have been shown significant negative correlation (P?0.05) between biomarkers (Apelin, Vaspin and Visfatin) and HDL in patients (males and females). The results also have been shown significant negative correlation (P?0.05) between omentin and FBG, cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL and VLDL in patients (males and females), while the results have been shown significant positive correlation (P?0.05) between omentin and HDL in patients (males and females). The results also have been shown no significant correlation (P>0.05) between Vaspin and FBG in patients (males and females). The present study concluded that Apelin, Omentin, Vaspin and Visfatin levels maybe that could be adopted as markers for detection and diagnosis of diabetic patients type 2.

المستخلص: ان من الحقائق العلمية الثابتة اليوم ان الفحص الروتيني للسائل المنوي يعد عاملا تنبؤيا اجماليا للقدرة الاخصابية للرجال، ولذلك فان حاجة متزايدة بدات تبرز لاكتشاف فحوصات وظيفية جديدة في عملية تقييم العقم عند الرجال. ان الهدف الاساس من هذه الدراسة هو تعزيز الج | It is a scientific fact today that routine seminal fluid analysis is a key predictor of male reproductive potentiality ; so that there is an increasing need for finding out other functional tests in the assessment of male infertility. The main goal of the current study is to consolidate the scientific and practical efforts concerned with male infertility assessment especially from immunological and genetic aspects. The study was carried out between January 2013 and December 2013 including one hundred (100) selected infertile men who attended the Fertility Center in al - Sadr Medical City in Al - Najaf Al - Ashraf Governorate, the study also included twenty (20) healthy volunteer fertile men as a control. Serum and seminal antisperm antibodies (ASA) were determined by ELISA (Enzyme Linked ImmunoSorbent Assay) technique ; sperm chromatin condensation was evaluated by aniline blue staining (AB) ; sperm DNA fragmentation (damage) was evaluated by toluidine blue staining (TB). The results showed that the incidence and concentration of serum and seminal plasma ASA in the infertile men were significantly (p<0.05) higher than that in control fertile men. The incidence and concentration of serum and seminal ASA were also significantly (p<0.05) higher in normozoospermic infertile patients than that in control fertile men. There was a high significant negative correlation (p<0.01) between the concentration of serum and seminal plasma ASA in the infertile men and sperm motility and progressive motility, the concentration of serum and seminal ASA also showed a high significant positive correlation (p<0.01) with sperm agglutination, and a significant positive correlation (p<0.05) with seminal WBC count. The results also revealed that there were no significant effects (p>0.05) for patients' age, infertility duration, ABO blood groups and smoking habits on the levels of ASA in the serum and seminal fluid, while higher significant increase (p<0.01) in serum and seminal ASA concentrations was observed in infertile patients with varicocele as compared with those without. The results have also revealed that the percentage of sperm with chromatin decondensation and DNA damage has shown a high significant (p<0.01) increase in infertile patients compared to fertile men. There was also a significant increase (p<0.05) in sperm DNA damage in normozoospermic infertile patients comparing with fertile men, but no significant difference (p>0.05) was found in sperm chromatin condensation between normozoospermic patients and fertile men. Both sperm chromatin decondensation and sperm DNA damage showed a significant positive correlation (p<0.05) with sperm morphology, and a significant negative correlation (p<0.05) with sperm concentration, motility and progressive motility. The present study also revealed that the level of chromatin decondensation has been affected by patients' age, infertility duration, smoking habits and varicocele. It was observed that the higher percentage of chromatin decondensation was recorded in patients older than 37 years, and in patients subgroups with infertility duration more than 15 years, it was also higher in smoker as compared with non - smoker patients and in those with varicocele as compared with those without. Similarly, the level of sperm DNA damage has also been affected by patients' age, smoking habits and varicocele. It was observed that the highest percentage of sperm DNA damage was recorded in patients older than 37 years. The highest level of sperm DNA damage was also seen in smoker patients as compared with non - smokers and in those with varicocele as compared with those without. In contrast, the effect of infertility duration on sperm DNA damage was not statistically different (p>0.05). The correlation and regression results recorded high significant correlations (p<0.01) between serum ASA and seminal plasma ASA, and between sperm chromatin decondensation and sperm DNA damage. However, there was no significant correlation (p>0.05) between the level of serum and seminal ASA and each of sperm chromatin decondensation and sperm DNA damage. The current study concluded that the defects in sperm chromatin status (chromatin decondensation and DNA damage), and the immunological disorders caused by serum and seminal plasma ASA may - at least partially - contribute to the etiology of infertility of the patients under study, even in those with normal seminal parameters. However, it seems that ASA affect fertility in a pathway that is different from that affected by sperm chromatin defect. It was recommended that both sperm chromatin staining techniques and ASA tests could be routinely used as complementary tests to diagnose infertility.

المستخلص: This study has been conducted for the first time in Najaf / Iraq, and the study included the preparation of a local inactivated vaccine (whole and subunit).The number of cases infected with seasonal influenza virus were 647 cases out of one thousand suspected case. They were distributed into eleven groups. Seasonal influenza virus was detected by two diagnostic methods (rapid test device and real time PCR).The present study has reflected that the most diagnosed cases infected with seasonal influenza virus during the period extended from March 26, 2012 up to April 30, 2013 represented by were type A (H3N2) (283) cases. Whereas H1N1 (148) cases, H3N2+H1N1, (56) cases, H1N1 + H3N2 + B were (30) cases and 130 cases were infected with type B.Current study also revealed that age group of 46 - 60 years old infected with seasonal influenza virus were (159) case including (368) male and females were (279) of different infected group..The spread of seasonal influenza virus in Najaf varies from one region to another depending on the population density. Clinical cases were collected randomly during the months of the year. It has been found that the spread of disease has something to do with temperature and humidity as high humidity and low temperature lead to increased spread of the disease because of their relationship at the stage of the spread of epidemic influenza that spread from Dec 26, 2012 and up to April 1, 2013 in addition to expatriates infected..Two techniques were used for isolation of seasonal influenza virus first inoculation of embryonated chicken egg and secondly chicken fibroblast cell culture.It was found that at the embryonated egg lethal dosage (ELD 50 / 0.5 ml) (109.6) whereas tissue culture infective dosage (TCID50 / 0.1 ml) was (109.3) of (H1N1+ H3N2) and type (B) virus..Virus was purified by two ways that are depending on the vaccine type. The gamma irradiation that dosage used for inactivating vaccine of the purified virus which was extracted from allantoic fluid and tissue culture was (5.702) mSv/h for subunit virus vaccine type whereas gamma irradiation dosage for complete (whole) virus vaccine was (8.816) mSv/h. The results proved that immunoglobulins (IgM, IgA and IgG) levels as well as (IL - 17, IL - 10 and INF - 1?) indicated significant differences among vaccinated, infected and control groups.Subunit and whole virus vaccine extracted from chicken fibroblast cell culture are considered the best of derived from virus propagated in embryonated chicken eggs.Subunit virus vaccine is better than the whole virus vaccine derived from virus propagated in embryonated chicken eggs and extracted from chicken fibroblast cell culture.The current study also reflected that locally prepared virus subunit vaccine and purified whole virus killed vaccine capable of inducing humoral and cellular immune response in experimentally vaccinated rats..Histopathological changes appeared clearly on tissue sections (lung, trachea, heart, liver, spleen, kidney) of the infected group as compared with control and the vaccinated groups.

It included two periods : the first was seed sowing to measure germination percentage from 1 - 8 till 8 - 8 - 2011, and transplants production from 15 - 8 - 2011 till 14 - 9 - 2011 in a private farm for vegetable transplants production. The second was transplanting in an open field belongs to Plant Production Department/Kufa Technical Institute from 15 - 9 - 2011 till 17 - 1 - 2012 to measure plant growth parameters and curd cauliflower production cv.solid snow in harmless environment techniques. The experiment was adopted as factional experiment. The treatments were distributed according to Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with four replicates. The experiment included the study of two factors : the first, was five magnetic intensities for treating waters magnetically (0; 500; 750; 1500 and 2500 Gauss) by means of dipolar magnetrons. The second was three quantities of plant organic manure(rice residues).i.e.(0, 2.5 and 5.0 kg/furrow) with a length of 6.5 m. and their interactions on growth and production the yield of cauliflower, cv.solid snow. Duncan's Multiple Range Test (DMRT) was used to compare means at probability of0.05. Correlation and regression coefficient were also used to evaluate the relationships between studied parameters and time. Vegetative growth parameters that are measured were : plant leaf number ; stem height; stem diameter; plant leaf area; leaf fresh and dry weight; stem dry weight; plant shoot fresh and dry weight. Flowering parameters were : curd fresh and dry weight and curd diameter. The results could be summarized as following : 1. Water chemical analysis showed that irrigation with magnetized treated water had an effect on physical properties, nevertheless, was more or less affected ions components. 2. The use of magnetized treated water in irrigation resulted in an increase in germination percentage of cauliflower seeds cv. Solid snow.The highest germination percentage was obtained from magnetic intensity of 1500 Gauss in both experiments, laboratory and field that reached 71.14 and 65, 62%, respectively on the base of Arc Sin. 3. The use of magnetized treated water in plant irrigation at all the used intensities resulted in an early emerged curd cauliflower by 15 days compared with control treatment plants. 4. 750 gauss magnetized treated water achieved at age of 138 days from transplanting, the highest plant leaf area mean is (4836.2 cm2) with percentage increase of 51.7% compared to control treatment plant leaf area (3188.3 cm2).That effect was reflected on curd weight. 5. 1500 and 2500 Gauss magnetized treated water treatments at earlier ages increased the values of vegetative growth parameters which reflected its effect on flowering growth parameters by shorter time of curd irritation, compared with the effect of 500 - 750 Gauss at earlier ages , which are in spite of its late effects produced at 150 days old from transplanting particularly 750 Gauss the highest mean of curd fresh weight. 6. 750 Gauss magnetized treated water achieved the highest yield reached 22.2 ton/h. which differed from that productivity gained from control treatment plant(9 - 29 ton/h.) with percentage increase of 138.8%. 7. Organic plant manure addition at both quantities(2.5 and 5.0kg/furrow) resulted in an increase in both vegetative and flowering growth parameters compared with untreated plants. 5 kg/furrow treatment produced the highest means compared to control treatment particularly at the age of 138 days in all vegetative growth parameters. 8. The addition of 5 kg/furrow at age of 150 days produced the largest curd fresh weight 918.4 g. and diameter of 17.2 cm which statistically differed to compared plant treatment that produced 506.0 g. and 13.3 cm. for curd fresh weight and diameter at the same age respectively. 9. 5 kg/furrow organic manure addition resulted in a highest productivity of 21.6 ton/h. compared to that of control treatment of 11.9 ton/h. with an increase of 81.5%. 10. Interaction between irrigation water magnetically treated with 750 Gauss and addition of (organic manure with 5 kg/furrow) at the age of150 days resulted in the highest curd fresh weight of 1292.9 g. with curd diameter of 20.3 cm. compared to that plant of control treatment produced curd fresh weight of 292.5 g. and 11.0 cm. diameter. This interaction also produced 30.3 ton/h. for (750 Gauss×5 kg/furrow) compared with the productivity of control treatment plants that gave 6.86 ton/h. with percentage increase of 341.6%

A total of 360 suspected cases were collected from Center Health laboratory/Al - Hakeem Hospital, and AL - Sadder medical city in AL - Najaf city, during the period from January (2013) to August (2013). Only 76 were seropositive hepatitis B (55 males and 21 females with age ranging 11 - 72 years).In addition, 15 healthy individuals without any evidence of chronic inflammatory disease were depended on the control group, age ranging 21 - 50 years.Blood samples were collected from patients and healthy controls were tested for HBsAg and Anti - HBc Ab using Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) technique to investigate hepatitis B seropositive and chronic hepatitis B respectively. For investigated AIH disease was performed depending on the Line Immune Assay technique. While for detection CMV were initially identified by serological technique (ELISA, MiniVIDAS) to detect anti - CMV IgM and anti - CMV IgG; then confirmed employment molecular technique using Real Time Polymerase Chain Reaction for the detection the presence of DNA of CMV. Samples were collected from patients and control to estimation immunological level (C3, C4, IL - 10 & TFN - ?) by using ELISA and radial immunodiffusion method.The results showed that 76 HBsAg seropositive in all age groups but the age group 44 - 54 year revealed high significance (p<0.05) than other age groups. While 35 out of 76 seropositive with HBc Ab, the age group 55 - 65 years showed high significance (p<0.05) than other age groups, and males more infection than females. The result also revealed that the AIH disease was 5 out of 76 patients infected with Type 1 AIH. Included 2(40%) have demonstrated the infection HBsAg positive with reactivation CMV While 3(60%) infected with HBsAg only.The results showed that 68 out of the 76 samples were positive for anti - CMV IgG antibodies, and 4(5.26%) samples were positive for anti - CMV IgM. While the MiniVIDAS test results showed 73 out of the 76 samples was positive for anti - CMV IgG antibodies. 2(2.6%) were positive for anti - CMV IgM antibodies. The results of the Real - Time PCR revealed that DNA of CMV were detected in 23 out of 76 patients were found in all age groups with viral loads ranging from (0.24 - 1730000) Copies/ml, and the results of controls group in Real - Time PCR were CMV negative. The results of cytokines (TNF - ?) showed a high significance (P<0.05) elevation in the serum of all patients than control (419.3 ± 27.8) pg/ml, and the results that AIH showed increase in cytokine level was (1218.2±44) pg/ml than other patients. Whereas chronic hepatitis B patients recorded high significance (P<0.05) in level (IL - 10) was (901.5±22.2) pg/ml than other patients and control (373 ±30.3) pg/ml. According to sex no - significance difference between males and females in results of cytokines profile (IL - 10, TNF?).

المستخلص: The study aimed to isolate and identify the Enterococcus spp. from different clinical specimens and study the virulence factors of predominant species, as well as detected the virulence factors encoding genes such as efaA (endocarditis - associated antigen), esp (enterococcal surface protein), eep (stimulating of pheromones expression) and enlA (enterolysin A) genes by PCR techniques.There were three hundred clinical specimens collected from patients suffering from different clinical infections during the period from September 2013 to January 2014 in AL - Sadder Medical City and AL - Hakem General Hospital. The identification of the Enterococcus spp. isolates were depended on colonial morphology, microscopic examination and biochemical tests as a primary identification. The final identification was performed with the automated VITEK - 2 compact system using Gram positive - Identification (GP - ID) cards.According to the results obtained by the VITEK tests forty two clinical isolates of Enterococcus were detected, which distributed into : (22) isolates from urine, (8) vaginal swabs, (6) seminal fluid, (4) throat swabs and two isolates from wound swabs with no isolates from cerebral spinal fluid, stool and blood specimens.This study revealed that the E. faecalis is more distributed with 25(59.52%), followed by E. faecium with 10 (23.80%), E.avium with 5 (11.90 %), E. durans and E. raffinosus with 1(2.39%) for each.The study investigated the virulence factors of E. faecalis, E.faecium and E.avium, which play a major role in enterococcus pathogenicity. E. faecalis and E.faecium had the ability to producecapsule, gelatinase, biofilm, adhesion, protease, bacteriocin, haemolysin and cytolysin except ? - lactamase produced only by E. faecalis while E.avium produced all these virulence factors except gelatinase, bacteriocin and cytolysin.The results revealed variation in the resistance of bacteria to antibiotics, E.faecalis express absolute resistance (100%) to Erythromycin, high resistance against Gentamycin, Tetracyclin and Vancomycin but high susceptibility to Ciproflaxacin and Penicillin and moderate susceptibility to Chloramphenicol. E.faecium exhibited absolute resistance (100%) to Erythromycin, Gentamycin and Tetracyclin, high resistance against Chloramphenicol, Penicillin and Vancomycin but high susceptibility to Ciproflaxacin while E.avium exhibited susceptibility (100%) to all these antibiotics except Tetracyclin showed absolute resistance.Then detected the virulence factors encoding genes : efaA, esp, eep and enlA genes by using PCR techniques and Electrophoresis Systems.Finally, The genotypic method. Regard to genotypic study the outcome showed that 21(84%) isolates of E.faecalis, 4(40%) of E.faecium and 5(100%) of E.avium were carrying efaA gene and 17(68%) of E.faecalis, 5(50%) of E.faecium, 5(100%) of E.avium were carrying esp gene while eep gene was carrying only by E.faecalis and E.faecium ; 12(48%) and 3(30%) respectively. Also the results revealed that only 1(4%) isolates of E.faecalis have enlA gene.

المستخلص: اجريت هذه الدراسة على 150 مريضا الراقدين في مستشفى الصدرالتعليمي ومستشفى الحكيم (قسم الكلى) في محافظة النجف خلال الفترة الممتدة من كانون الاول 2012 الى شهر اب 2013. وكان الغرض من هذه الدراسة بيان علاقة الفيروس المضخم للخلايا بمرض الفشل الكلوي، تراوحت اعما | This study was carried out on 150 renal failure patients, who were admitted to the kidney department in AL - Sadder Medical City and Al - Hakeem hospital in AL - Najaf governorate during the period from December 2012 to August, 2013. Subjects of this study were Investigated for the role of Cytomegalovirus among them, their age ranged between (1 - 88) years. Twenty four (age - and sex - matched) healthy individuals without any evidence of chronic inflammatory disease depended as control. All patients and control divided in four age groups. Blood and urine samples were collected from patients and control for immunological (IgM, IgG, C3, C4, IL - 6, IL - 10, IL - 12 & IFN - ?) by using ELISA and molecular study by RT - PCR, respectively. The obtained results showed that HCMV - IgG antibody was 100% for all cases, while IgM was 18.66% compared with that of control. Real time - PCR amplification for presence of HCMV DNA in urine samples revealed that HCMV genome were detected in 22(14.66%) of the 150 urine samples in all age groups, that distributed into 12(21.05%) with viral load ranged (20 - 543840) Copy/ml in females and 10 (10.75%) with viral load ranged (40 - 28050) Copy/ml for males. The results of cytokines profile showed a highly significant(P<0.05) elevation in patients than control. According to sex females appeared higher IFN - ?, IL - 6, IL - 10 ( 83.86, 82.67, 9.06 pg/ml, respetively) than males were (76.57 , 79.36, 6.51 pg/ml, respectively). Where's IL - 12 were recorded higher elevation in male (28.83 pg/ml ) than females (27.35 pg/ml). According to age groups 41 - 60 age group showed high level in IFN - ?, IL - 6, IL - 10 were (96.45, 90.40, 9.62) pg/ml , respectively.While IL - 12 appeared high level (37.43 pg/ml ) in age group 1 - 20 years Complement fractions C3, C4 decreased in all groups of patients compared to those of a healthy control. C3 was recorded (64.37 mg/dl) in females, and (70.24 mg/dl) in males and decreased to (63.41 mg/dl) in age group (1 - 20) years, while C4 decreased significantly among sex it was (21.06 mg/dl) in females and(24.22 mg/dl) in males, and down to (21.65 mg/dl) in age group (21 - 40) years.The overall finding results showed that HCMV are more prevalence among chronic renal failure patients and cause immune suppressor for them by increase and decrease many immune factors.

المستخلص: The study aimed to investigating the role of coagulase - negative staphylococci in human infections, and determining the predominance genes of the virulence factors. Three hundred clinical specimens were collected from out and inpatients undergoing catheter related infections and twenty specimens were collected from healthy hospital staff as a control from January 2013 to July 2013 of Al - Zahraa Teaching Hospital, Al - Sader Teaching Hospital and Al - Hakeem Hospital in Al - Najaf Al - Ashraf province. The specimens were included urine, blood, vaginal swabs, seminal fluid and wound swabs. The specimens were cultured on mannitol salt agar and the primary identification was depended on Gram stained and biochemical tests. Then finally identification with Vitek 2 system is done.One hundred isolates were identified as coagulase - negative staphylococci (CoNS), Staphylococcus haemolyticus was identified as the most frequently isolated species in (53%), followed by Staphylococcus epidermidis (26%) and Staphylococcus hominis were recorded in (21%). Most of CoNS isolates were highly resistance to penicillin G (benzylpenicillin), oxacillin, cefoxitin and erythromycin; and low resistance to rifampicin, levofloxacin and others. While, control isolates results showed moderate resistance to penicillin G and erythromycin; low - level of resistance to cefoxitin, oxacillin and other antibiotics.The investigation of virulence factors revealed that 93% of coagulase - negative staphylococci isolates were production of slime layer, DNase 58%, protease 29% and hemolysin 88%. But the results gave negative result for TNase and lipase enzymes.Monoplex and multiplex PCR were used to explore the MecA, aap, icaA, icaD, atlE, sea, seb, sec, sed, hla, hlb, sspA, sspB, geh, nuc genes. The results showed that all CoNS isolates (100%) had mecA and atlEgenes, but 98% of isolates had aap, 93% icaA and icaD genes. PCR revealed that only (14%) of isolates had genes for enterotoxins expression. (92.86%) and (7.14%), sea and seb respectively, in contrast, the sec and sed genes were not be recorded.The result showed that 47% of CoNS isolates had hla gene and 41% contain hlb gene, 29% were positive for the sspA gene whereas the sspB gene and geh and nuc2 genes not found in any of staphylococcal isolates. Finally, the result indicated that 58% of CoNS isolates were expressed the nuc1 gene.Plasmid curing was carried out in order to determine the origin of resistance and some virulence factor genes (chromosomal or plasmid - borne gene). The curing (elimination) of the plasmids of coagulase - negative staphylococci isolated was catalyzed using ethidium bromide in different concentration and high temperature (44?C). The results showed that the oxacillin resistant coagulase - negative staphylococci were plasmid mediated since 93% of the isolates showed negative result on oxacillin resistance screening agar, and absence of mecA gene from all isolates. Also, 41 of coagulase - negative staphylococci isolates that showed ? - hemolysin became non - hemolysin after manipulated with ethidium bromide.Finelly, taking into consideration the etiological importance of CoNS has often been neglected, the present investigation confirmed that these microorganisms should not be ignored or classified as mere contaminant.
