Where the environment examples collected from different places of riverbed Al diwaniya. The duration of collection samples has lasted for 3 months, started One handrad isolated had been diagnosed that proved its belong to a bacteria Staphylococcus aureus, 50 isolated where taken from environment isolate and the other 50 taken from clinical isolate depending on the diagnostic methods which included tests of farm, microscopic and biochemical, It was also confirm the diagnosis of bacterial using accurate diagnosis that uses device VITEK System tested sensitivity of bacteria isolate of S. aureus, against 12 selected antibiotic, environment and clinical cases has shown resistance and sensitivity of different varied by source isolate, the nature of the antibiotic and the resistance and sensitivity have been determined by measuring diameters of areas inhibition around tablets of antibiotics it used.All the clinical isolates showed a complete resistance for the antibiotic Lincomycin with 100% percentage, where it's resisted Pnicillin G with 92%, Nalidixic acid with 42%, while the highest resistance of environment isolates was 97% for Lincomycin. The clinical isolates showed a sensitively against the two antibiotics which are Cefamandol and Cephalothin, where their percentages reached 98% and 89%, respectively. Where the percentage of environment isolates reached for the same antibiotics 100% and 97% respectively. In general, the clinical isolates were more resisted for the antibiotics than environment isolates in overall rate.differed values of minimum inhibitory concentrationsmic MIC and the minimum bactericidal concentration MBC among each other with variation of clinical isolates from side and differed with environment isolates from another side while the values differed with environment and clinical isolates from third side, where the highest value reached of MIC against Polymyxin B is (20 - 120) and (100 - 240) mg/ml for environment and clinical isolates respectively, while the highest value of MIC that also was against Polymyxin B reached (40 - 140) and (130 - 250) mg/ml for environment and clinical isolates respectively. Where the value of MIC against Cephalothin reached (0.01 - 0.6) and (0.8 - 2.0) mg/ml for environment and clinical isolates respectively. Finally, the highest value of MBC also was against Cephalothin reached (0.08 - 0.9) and (0.9 - 3.0) mg/ml respectively. In general, the bactericidal and inhibitory concentrations of the clinical isolates are higher concentrations from those bactericidal and inhibitory concentrations for environment isolates.I studied the virulence factors that come from strains of S. aureus bacteria environment and clinical which included Capsula, enzymes of Coagulase that are associated and free, , Lipase, Hyaloronidase and B - Lactamase in addition to Haemolysin clinical isolates and Leucocidin and all the environment isolates are the highest percenage in the ability to form and possess virulence factors compared with environment isolates, where the highest percentage to produce virulence factors is belongs to the Haemolysin which reached 94% percentage in the clinical isolates where in the environment isolates reached 64% percentage followed by Leucocidin that reached 84% percentage in the clinical samples and 40% percentage in the In environmental samples.Also the percentage of blood Coagulation enzyme the associated and free is the highest percentage in the clinical isolates which reached percentage 42% and 38% for the associated and free respectively, where the percentage in environment reached 20% and 36% respectively and the virulence factors was the least presence in the environmental and clinical isolates is the portfolio that reached percentage of presence 22% and 12% respectively.

Abstract: يعد الكبد العضو الرئيسي المسؤول عن ازالة السموم في الجسم, مما يجعله الاول في التعرض للسمية الدوائية والكيميائية للمواد الداخلة للجسم من جميع الاعضاء, ووفق ذلك اجريت هذه الدراسة لمقارنة التاثير الحامي للكويرسيتين ومستخلص الحلبة على الانسجة الكبدية لذكور ال | The liver is the main organ responsible for removing toxins in the body, making it the first to face various chemicals from all of the organs, and according to this the study had designed to compare the hepatoprotective effect of the Quercetin and Trigonella foenum graecum extract on the liver tissues of male rats poisoned with carbon tetrachloride, and to know their effects when used together. The study was conducted at the Faculty of Pharmacy - University of Kufa, and included using of 30 rats from Sprague - Dawley divided into five groups : the negative control group, the positive control group, the group treated with organic extract, the quercetin treated group and the group treated with extract and quercetin together. The period of dosing continued for 7 days and on the eighth day all groups(except the control group) were poisoned with carbon tetrachloride. After 24 hours the animals were killed. The study lasted from April 2013 - until July 2013. The Liver weights of treated animals were measured, the effectiveness of transferase enzymes Alanine Transaminase, Aspartate Transaminase and Alkaline phosphatase and total bilirubin level in the serum were assessed, also the Glutathione and Malondialdehyde levels were estimated in liver homogenized. The results showed the following : A significant increase (P<0.05) in the liver weights, the effectiveness of the amine transferase enzymes, Alkaline phosphatas and total bilirubin in the serum of the treated animals when compared with the negative control group, while these parameters revealed a significant decrease (P<0.05) at the treated groups as compared with the positive control group. The results showed no significant difference (P>0.05) in the Glutathione level and a significant increment (P<0.05) in the level of Malondialdehyde in the treated groups when compared with the negative control group. Also, the results showed a significant decrease and increase (P<0.05) in the levels of Glutathione and the Malondialdehyde at the treated animals as compared with the positive control group. The present study showed numerous histological changes which resulted from the injection with carbon tetrachloride. In relation with the tissue sections which have been taken from the treated groups : with the extract, quercetin and the group treated with both revealed a protective effect for organic extract seeds of Trigonella foenum - graecum and quercetin drug on the liver tissues which had been poisoned and the best effect in the protection appeared at the group which was treated with the extract and quercetin together. From this study we can conclude that the Trigonella foenum - graecum organic extract and quercetin may reveal a protective role for the liver against carbon tetrachloride poisoning by maintaining the effectiveness of liver enzymes Alanine Transaminase, Aspartate Transaminase and Alkaline phosphatase and bilirubin level in the serum as well as by increasing the Glutathione level and falling the Malondialdehyde level in liver homogenized. Also we conclude that using Trigonella foenum - graecum organic extract and quercetin together led to double protection of the liver and efficiently as a result of the positive impact which resulted from using them together

Abstract: هدفت الدراسة الحالية الى اثبات العلاقة بين الاصابة بداء المقوسات وحالات ضعف الخصوبة عند الذكور من خلال دراسة التغيرات في المعايير التكاثرية والهرمونات التكاثرية والتغيرات المرضية النسجية للحيوانات المصابة تجريبا بطفيلي المقوسة الكوندية Toxoplasma gondii, | The present study aimed to demonstrate the relationship between toxoplasmosis and cases of low fertility in males by examining changes in reproductive parameters, reproductive hormones and histopathological changes of experimentally infected rats, the study also aimed to prove the case of the venereal transmission of parasite from male to female and vice versa. The study carried out in three phases, the first phase includes determining the infection rate of the parasite for men who suffer from low fertility rate, as it has been serologically detecting the presence of IgG antibodies to the parasite by ELISA technique in the laboratory of parasites / College of Veterinary Medicine in 46 serum samples of blood for men attend to the Center for Infertility Research embryos of the Faculty of Medicine / University of Al - Nahrain and Al - Zahra Hospital and particular laboratories in Wasit province, who proved to have a laboratory case of weakness in reproductive parameters of semen in the rate of infection was 34.78%, then was to investigate the level of reproductive hormones (testosterone, follicle stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone), it was the men who had lower levels of these hormones 58.33% and 50% and 1.664%, respectively. The second phase included the parasite Toxoplasma gondii isolated from placental samples of aborted women and brain samples of local chicken after confirming the presence of the parasite in those samples by impression smear, As to isolate the parasite the samples was catting and grinding, filtered and centrifugation after it was suspended in physiological solution at three times.These isolates were used for experimental infection in 60 of the male albino rats norvegicus Rattus age (60_70) days and an average of weights 200_250 grams injected each of them within the peritoneum 0.3ml each animal and containing 100 cysts, 30 of which form the suspension of placenta and 30 from the suspension brain of local chicken in rats experimental infection, injection of 10 for each of the male rats and 10 female rats by suspension of placenta for experimental infection and after seven weeks of infection, put 10 healthy females with males infected experimentally and 10 healthy males with infected female for the purpose of mating to ensure for the transition infection of the parasite sexually and then confirm infection by using the direct smear (impression) and the Real - Time polymerase chain reaction technique and histological sections in the experience of experimental infection and transitional infection of parasite. It emerged the effective of infection on reproductive parameters in experimentally infected rats as negative recorded changes represented in the weights of reproductive organs, sperm concentration, motility, viability and the percentage of abnormalities compared with control group and in significant differences in 0.05 except the sperm motility which recorded significant differences in animals injected with suspension of brain domestic chicken and no significant differences in animals injected with suspension of placenta, also recorded the absence of sperm in the semen of infected rats by 40% in each of the animals that were injected placenta and injected samples of the brain of domestic chicken, as it was for the transmission of the infection to the male effect on reproductive parameters sperm in all reproductive parameters in study and significant difference for all parameters except the sperm motility compared with control group in significant differences in 0.05.With regard to the rates of sex hormones (LH, FSH, T) has recorded a significant decrease of the animals experimentally infection, which amounted to 4.588, 4.648, 6.657, either male rats venereal infected there was a decrease in the levels of hormones three significant differences and rates of 4.762, 5.644, 2.21, respectively, compared with control group which recorded 10.514, 12.210, 10.576, respectively, as rates were hormones low for normal level in females venereal infected except hormone LH as record rate 8.132 higher than the average private control group, which amounted to 5.335, as the rates of hormone (FSH, T) for females venereal infected 2.901, 5.596, respectively, compared to the control group, which recorded 4.71, 1.79, respectively.The initial diagnosis of the infection by using the impression smear method and its emphasis by molecular diagnosis REALTIME PCR technique, as was the incidence100% of the first method, either way in the second technique in rats injected with Suspension parasite of placenta 90% while it was 100% in rats injected parasite brain domestic chicken, the percentage of infection was varied in organs as recorded lowest infection in the first group in the liver and the testis was 20% either the highest percentage recorded in the semen and 90% either in brain samples was 26%, while the lowest infection for the second group it was 20% in the liver, brain and testis either the highest proportion it was 100% of the semen, and whend vice versa, in 100% for both groups by imprassion smear method, either way RT.PCR was recorded the percentage of infection in uninfected females which mated with infected males 100% divided by the organs as the lowest infection recorded in the uterus was 30% and the highest rate of infection was in the liver, brain was 100% either ovary was the presence of parasite in which 60%, while the incidence of total uninfected male who have been mated experimentally infected female100% divided by the organs as the highest rate of infection was in semen was 100% and either in the liver there have been no cases were positive remember and so the infection was 0% either infection rates recorded for the tissue of the brain and testis were 40%, 50%, respectively, either with regard to prove the existence of the parasite, depending on tissue sections of these tissues have been diagnosed with the parasite in addition to histological pathological changes occur where the male rats experimentally infected and all of the male and female in experience. As the percentage of pregnancies in the two groups of animals mating 35%, the percentage of infection in newborn brain has reached100%, which proves the case of vertical transmission of the parasite for newborns of infected mother parasite

Abstract: اجريت هذه الدراسة للمدة من بداية اذار 2014 والى نهاية ايلول 2014 وشملت على مراجعين مستشفى الديوانية العام ومستشفى النسائية والاطفال في محافظة القادسية ومختبرات التحليل الاهلية في المحافظة, وقد تم فحص679 عينة براز باستخدام طريقة المسحة المباشرة لمختلف الفئ | This study has been conducted for the period from the first of March 2014 until September 2014 and included the auditors to Diwaniya General Hospital and Women's Hospital and children in the province of Diwaniya and civil analytical laboratories in the province. A sample of 679 of auditors' stool have been examined by using the direct swab from different age groups and both sexes. The study shows that 61.26% of people have been infected by screened amoeba parasite. Real time PCR was used in this study to diagnose Amoeba species in 200 samples. Result shows that Entamoeba histolytica had highest percentage of incident followed by Entamoeba dispar then Entamoeba moshkoviskii, which were 74 %, 26 %, and 7 % respectively.Statistical level of ?=0.05presents significant differences between then. Percentage of positive molecular test samples was higher than the negative ones; they were 88% and 12%. Molecular diagnoses were used in this study. E. histolytica had highest individual incident followed by E.disbar then E. moshkoviskii : 56% 10%, and 1% respectively. Using significant level of 0.05, significant differences were appeared. Rates of mixed infections of E. histolytica + E. dispar followed by E. moshkoviskii + histolytica then E. moshkoviskii + E. dispar, which were 14%, 4%, and 2% respectively. Statistics shows significant differences between them at ? =0.05. Symptoms of individual incident of the three Amoeba sorts were observed and recorded. Patients who had E. histolytica, severed from acute diarrhea that ranged between mucous and watery texture, which its color contrast between brown and reddish brown. They had bloody diarrhea and abdominal pain that ranged from severe to moderate colic. They had also slight temperature increase and weight loss. For those who had E.disbar, abdominal pain and frequent pale yellow diarrhea that semi - aqueous texture were recorded. Symptoms of : moderate yellowish brown snotty diarrhea, abdominal pain and, weight loss were observed for those who had E. moshkoviskii. R.T.PCR (Taqman Probe) was used to isolate samples and to investigate the three pathogenic virulence genes, which are Cystiene Proteinase, Amebopore, and Gal/Gal Nac Lectin. This was done in each of Amoeba’s species using R.T.PCR (Syber Green). According to it, E. histolytica possesses Cystiene Proteinase 1, Amebopore, and Gal/Gal Nac Lectin at 86.6%, 80.35%, and 42.8% respectively. Non - significant differences were found at ? =0.05 between them. For E.disbar, result shows existence of the same pathogenic virulence genes at percentages of 65%, 45%, and 20% respectively. Result presents significant differences among percentage of genes isolation for the pathogenic virulence factors at ? =0.05. E. moshkoviskii had these three pathogenic virulence genes at percentage of 33.3% by isolating the virulence genes except Gal/Gal Nac Lactin, there were significant differences among them at ? =0.05. This study was conducted to understand the molecular characterization confirmatory of the three types of insulators parasite using traditional enzyme chain polymerize reaction as a first stage to investigate the 18s ribosomal RNA covenantal. It represents personal heritage of the three types of amoeba. Depending on the same gene, developed tree were analyzed for Amoeba’s species using method of Neighber - Joining among different groups of the stains for each species separately using MEGA6 program. Knowing convergence rates of the used stains and international isolators from NCBI, Blast program was used. Since there is no study has been done to study nitrogenous bases sequence for these three species, samples undertook molecular characterization confirmatory was registered in the national data base center (NCBI). International serial numbers were obtained and attached to the dissertation.

Abstract: جمعت (500) عينة من المرضى المصابين بالحروق من ثلاث مستشفيات في مدينة بغداد للمدة من 1/6/2007 ولغاية 1/11/2007. زرعت هذه المسحات على الاوساط الزرعية للعزل الاولى وتم تشخيصها بالفحوصات المظهرية والبايوكيميائية. اظهرت (489) عينة ملوثة بالبكتريا وبنسبة | • Five hundreds swabs were collected from patients suffered from burns in three hospitals of Baghdad city, for the period from 1st June 2006 to 1st November 2007. The swabs were implanted in order to be isolated and diagnosed by morphological and biochemical tests. • The results showed that 489 swabs were contaminated with bacteria (97.8%), while 11 swabs were not (2.2%). The identification and prevalence of the bacteria was as follow Pseudomonas aeruginosa was found in 148 swabs (30.27%), Klebsiella pneumoniae in 102 (20.26%), Staphylococcus aureus in 79 (16.16%), Escherichia coli in 70 (14.31%), Proteus mirabilis in 52 (10.63%) and Enterobacter cloacae in 38 (7.77%). • Information card for each patient was assigned included age, sex, time of suffering from burns, social status and address.• The degrees of suffering were as follow : - First degree of burns, 201 cases (40.2%). - Second degree, 187 cases (37.4%). - Third degree, 112 cases (22.4). Sensivity test to antibiotic and was done for all the isolated bacteria, and it was found, that, they were sensitive to Vancomycin, Ciprofloxacin, Amikacin, Tetracyclin and Fusidic acid within the percentage ratio of 0.0, 59.1, 3.7, 58.5 and 11.6%, respectively. Also it was found that the investigated bacteria showed high Vesistance to Penicillin G (87.9%), Erythromycin (93.9%), Trimethoprim (100%), Carbencillin (83.9), Cefotaxime (63.4%), Ampicillin (75.9%), Gentamycin (67.9%), Streptomycin (83.6%), Nalidix acid (89.4%) and Linomycin (83.2%). o Searching for the active compounds in the extracts of investigated plants (Linum usitatissimum, Nigella sativa and Eruca sativa) was conducted. It was found, that, the seeds of the three plants contained Glycosides, Alkalis, Flavonoids, Soapiness and Resins, which are not water soluble, but could be detected by the alcoholic extraction. Cumarin was noticed in the seeds of N. sativa and E. sativa only. o Different concentrations of water and alcohol extracts were prepared in addition to the isolation of oils, soapiness and Flavonids. The effectiveness of the extracts was tested at the concentration of 16, 32, 64, 128, 256 mg/ml for all the plants, against the bacteria.o The Phenol, water and alcohol extracts of L. usitatissimum and E. sativa showed high effect against the bacterial species, while that of N. sativa was less affective.o The Minimum inhibition concentration (MIC), was found to be different according to the type of extract and the species of bacteria.o The effects of the organic acids (Acetic, Citric, and Lactic) were tested at concentrations of 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3 and 4% of each acid. An increase in the diameter of inhibition area, related with the increase in the acid concentrations, was detected. It was found that the acetic acid was more affective against the microorganisms, followed by the Citric acid and then the Lactic acid.o on the base of ratios of inhibition area diameters (in vitro), the results illustrated that E. coli was more affected by Acetic acid when the diameters reached 18.75, 21.75, 30.75, 38.25, 40.00 and 44.75 mm, respectively. The concentration of 1.5% was the effective enough against E. coli as diameters rates for P. mirabilis were 19.25, 18.25, 18.0, 22.56, 27.75 and 31.0 mm, respectively, followed by Ps. aeruginosa, S. aurues and En. cloacae when exposed to the optimum concentrations of Acetic, Citric, Lactic acids. The diameters at concentration of 4% were 23.50 and 23.66 mm. o The water extracts from all the involved plants, in addition to the organic acids showed good levels of effectiveness against the different studied bacterial species, when suffered by burns rats were exposed to them. A clear decrease in bacteria numbers in these rats in comparison with non - treated animals, in the swabs removed from the treated and non - treated rats, in addition to the absence of any histophathalogical changes in livers and skins of the treated animals. o Biochemical tests of serums from animals treated with the water extracts and organic acids at concentration of 16 mg/Kg and 18 mg/Kg for seven days and the microscope investigation, proved that these compounds were not toxic.o The effects of the water extracts and the organic acids were studied too from the point of the immunity point of view. An increase in the Levels of IgG and IgA of the supplementary systems C3 and C4 was noticed in the suffered from burns in general. The levels of IgG and IgA tended to be normal after the treatments with the water extract from the studied plants and with the organic acids.o The L D50 of N. sativa and E. sativa was 18 mg/kg while it was 16 mg/Kg of L. usitatissimum.

Abstract: The present study had been carried out to elucidate the toxic effects of sodium fluoride on local rabbit males, this study involved determination of the histological Changes of some organs include (Testes, Liver and Kidney) , moreover study the changes in body weight of the animals and the percentage of organs weight and some blood parameters and biochemistry which include packed cell blood volume (PCV), Hemoglobin (Hb), Total white blood cells, Testosterone hormone, T3, T4 hormones, Glucose concentration, Cholesterol, Urea, Transaminase enzymes and Bilirubin - level in blood. Twenty local adult male rabbits were included this experiment their ages ranged between 10 - 14 months.The animals were treated with oral swallow for 12 weeks. The animals were divided into four groups : control group is treated orally with (0.9%) normal saline; First group was treated orally with 10 mg/kg of body weight sodium fluoride, second group was treated orally with 20 mg/kg of body weight sodium fluoride and third group was treated orally with 30 mg/kg of body weight sodium fluoride. The results of present study showed a significant decreased (P<0.05) in body weight of treated animals with dose of sodium fluoride 20 and 30 mg/kg of body weight, while there is no significant differences in the body weights of treated animals with sodium fluoride dosage of 10 mg/kg of body weight when to compared with control group. The percentage of organ weight to body weight showed a significant decrease in testis weights and liver weight, while there was no significant differences in kidney weight in treated group with sodium fluoride when to compared with control group. Concerning histological changes showed a reduction or freezed stages in spermatogenesis processes which timed with decrease in number of primary spermatocytes and secondary spermatocytes in addition to infiltration of lymphocytes, also found that NaF cause disorganization, denudation, and reduction in germinal epithelial cells of the seminiferous tubules and associated with absence of sperm in the lumina, also showed a decrease in radius of epididymus ducts and decrease in number of sterocilia and decrease number of mature sperms. Histological sections of kidney showed that there was a clear shrinkage of glumeruli.Histological section of kidney of animals that treated with sodium fluoride showed a mild blood vessels congestion, shrinkage in glumeruli, distributed in renal tubules and erode its epithelium with some apoptotic areas. The liver sections appeared appreciable effect with fluoride include dilation in central vein and erode to its epithelium, congestion in hepatic sinusoids with apoptosis and erode to general structure of liver with some of inflammatory cells and death in some cells which lead to erode of typical ray arrangement. Regarding blood parameters the present study showed a significant decrease (P<0.01) in percentage of (PCV) and (Hb) of the animals treated with sodium fluoride, while showed (WBCs) count significant increased compared with control group. Hormonal analysis (Testosterone, T3 and T4) showed a significant decrease, while significant increase of glucose, cholesterol, urea, transaminases enzymes for (AST, ALT) and bilirubin levels. Results obtained from this study and mentioned above may be attributed essentially to that of Naf administration results in sever lesion of male reproductive system wich may be aggravated with increase administration concentration of Naf.

Abstract: Results of clinical and laboratory examination of 239 cases showed 55 infection cases in Cutaneous Leishmaniasis and in infection proportion reaches at 23.01% out of the total number of the Cutaneous cases which are similar to Leishmaniasis during the months of the study. The Results also showed that the highest infection was recorded between the ages 1 - 10 years old and about 26 cases in 47.27% and between 10 - 20 years old about 17 cases in 30.9% and the lowerest was between 40 - 50 and 70 - 80 years old in one cases in 1.8%. The summit of the disease spread was in February for about 24 cases in 43.63% specially in AL - Hamza AL - Sharqi where the highest number of infection was recorded for about 23 cases in 41.81%. It is followed by AL - Shafiya for 10 cases in 18.18% and the lowerest was AL - Mhannawiya for one case in 1.8%. It has been clear that the number of the multiple epidemics is more than the individual ones in 70.5% while the latter in 29.98% respectively. It was focused on hands and legs in 50.35% and 24.46 %. The tissue test showed thick perspiration in the big infected pharynx and lymphatic cell in addition to the existence of abscess to the smash of the infected cell. Forty nine positive cases were found in 89.09% for the genetic material DNA which is connected with Leishmaniasis by mean of NestedPCR to identify the type results showed 47 samples which is L. major in 95.91% and to get sure by investigating the virulence factor lipophosphoglycan, proteophosphoglycan and cysteine protease it was found that all sample were positive in 100% as Leishmania. major. To know the affect of treatment pentostam on these samples, the standard proportion for the genetic patterns was calculated factor lipophosphoglycan, proteophosphoglycan and cysteine protease during five week. Results showed that there was a big difference for each gene in a solation during the period of treatment in a level of the possibility of (P?0.05) when used test LSD. and by comparing the three genes it was found that there was a meaningful between cysteine protease and the other two factor lipophosphoglycan, proteophosphoglycan and there wasn’t difference between lipophosphoglycan, proteophosphoglycan. Hence, it has been clear that the treatment pentostam has a big affect in parasite by its affect on the virulence factors and this explains that possibility of infection may happen again after having the treatment. The skin disease cutaneous Leishmaniasis is considered as one of the endemic parasitic diseases in Iraq. This study aims at identifying its prevalence and specifying the virulence factors in Cutaneous Leishmaniasis in order to define the type of disease reason and the affect of the treatment of Pentostam on the virulence factors lipophosphoglycan, Cysteine protease, proteophosphoglycans by means Real time - PCR

Abstract: اجريت الدراسة الفصلية على الدايتومات الملتصقة على النباتات المائية لثلاث مواقع في هور العودة ضمن محافظة ميسان جنوب العراق (من شهر تشرين الاول 2013 لغاية شهر تموز 2014) نظرا لاهمية الدايتومات في الانظمة البيئية المائية والاهمية البيئية لاهوار العراق على مس | Seasonal study on the quality and quantity of epiphytic Diatoms was conducted in the Al - Auda marsh within Maysan Province throughout one year from October 2013 to July 2014.These Diatoms have an important role in biotic ecosystems. Three taxa of aquatic plants were selected (Phragmites australis Trin ex stand, Ceratophyllum demersum L. and Typha domengensis Pers) in three sites within Al - Auda Marsh; these sites were Al - Adleh, Al - Auda and Um - Almashahef. Also, the study included measuring physical and chemical factors of all the study sites, such as : temperature (air and water), power of hydrogen (pH), total hardness(TH), Calcium (Ca), Magnesium (Mg), turbidity (Tur.), light penetration(LP), depth of water (D), total dissolved suspend material (TDS), total suspended solids (TSS), total alkalinity (TA), dissolved oxygen (DO), total nitrogen (TN) and total phosphorus (TP) and reactive Silicate (SiO3). The mean ranges of the studied factors were recorded : air temperature (10 - 38 C°), water temperature (13 - 34 C°), pH (7.1 - 8.6), TH (672 - 3800mg/l), Ca (97.8 - 264.5 mg/l), Mg (125.1 - 896.13mg/l), Tur.(7.62 - 30.7NTU), LP(46 - 113cm), D (190 - 413cm), TDS (1170 - 3075 mg/l), TSS (0.02 - 0.08 mg/l). while TA (207.5 - 300mg/l), DO (6.4 - 13.5 mg/l), TN (2.41 - 8.58µg/l), TP (0.013 - 0.23 µg/l) and SiO3(101 - 776.77 µg/l).Results of the study indicated presence of 111 taxa of epiphytic diatoms, which belonged to 13 families and 26 genus (one family and two genus of centric diatoms, 12 families and 26 genus of pennate diatoms).The present study recorded 21 species that were found only on one host plant, 20 species that were found on two host plants and 70 species that were found on all host plants, nine of diatoms taxa were present in all host plants among all study seasons which are Achnanthes minutissima, Cocconeis placentula var. euglypta, Cyclotella meneghiniana, Synedra affinis, Syneda ulna , Gomphonem parvulum, Mastogloia smithii var. amphicephala, E. zebra var. porcellus, Rhopalodia gibba.One of the diatoms taxa was recorded in the present study is new to Iraqi flora, the new record of diatom include one taxa of Achnanthidiaceae family (Achnanthes exigua var. constricta). The results of this study included description of the basic characteristics of this taxa with complete photographic documentation.It was evident, from the results, that the morphological form of host plants influenced the number of the attached epiphytic diatoms. C. demersum had attracted 92 diatoms taxa(35%) while the lowest number was 82 taxa (31%) attached by Typha domengensis. The seasonal variation of diatoms growth was evident. Spring 2014 was characterized by the highest number of attached taxa (69 on P. australis - 11%) whereas the lowest number was observed on C. demersum (32 taxa - 5.4%) in autumn 2013.Numbers of epiphytic diatoms fluctuated among study sites, seasons and aquatic plants. The total number of epiphytic diatoms on P. australis ranged between 0.73×104 cell/gm wet weight in summer 2014 at Al - Auda and 406.89104 cell/gm wet weight in spring 2014 at Um - Almashahef. C. demersum recorded highest total number 513.9 ×104 cell/gm wet weight in winter2014 at Al - Adleh, while the lowest total number was 0.1×104 cell/gm of wet weight was recorded in the spring 2014 at Um - Almashahef. While total number of taxa on T. domengensis ranged (0.84 - 427.89) ×104 cell/gm wet weight in summer and winter 2014 at Um - Almashahef.Fluctuations in the total number of main epiphytic diatoms families were observed on all aquatic host plants throughout the study period. The higher total number(92.59×104 cell/gm of wet weight) of diatoms recorded in Achnanthidiaceae family in summer 2014 on P. australis and lower total number (0.28×104 cell/gm of wet weight) on same plant observed in Rhoicospheniaceae family in spring 2014. C. demersum showed highest total number (95.15 ×104 cell/gm of wet weight) in Fragilariaceae family in spring2014, while the lower total number (0.3×104 cell/gm of wet weight) was in family Rhoicospheniaceae in autumn 2013. Individual of Achnanthidiaceae family were recorded as highest total number (168.57×104 cell/gm of wet weight) on T. domengensis in Achnanthidiaceae family in the winter of 2014, but lower total number (0.28×104 cell/gm of wet weight) recorded in Coscinodiscaceae family in the same season. The study showed highest values for richness index (3.77) in the spring of 2014 for epiphytic diatom on C. demersum in Al - Auda site, while lower richness index recorded was (0.6) on T. domengensis in theautumn of 2013 at Um - Almashahef. Shannon - Weaver index ranged (0.24 - 2.45) for epiphytic diatom on P. australis during winter of 2014 at Um - Almashahef and autamn 2013 at Al - Auda, respectively. Highest values for Evenness index were recorded (0.28) for epiphytic diatom on C. demersum in the spring of 2014 at Um - Almashahef site, while for the same site lower values recorded was (0.03) on T. domengensis in winter 2014. Higher percentage for Jaccard similarity index (63.2%) obtained between epiphytic diatoms hosted on T. domengensis and lower percentage of similarity (28.9%) found among the common taxa of epiphytic diatoms on C. demersum, and highest percentage for Jaccard similarity index between host plants was (70%) between P. australis and C. demersum while lower percentage of similarity(67%) was obtained between T. domengensis and C. demersum.

In this study five hundreds thirty four samples of urine and wounds from patients with diabetes and healthy were collected from both sexes and all ages to isolation and identification of pathogenic bacteria by morphological, cultural and biochemical characteristics then determination of virulence factors and genetic variation between dominant type depending on the isolating source and the type of infection in diabetic patients. The counts of urinary tract infections and wound infection in non _diabetic patients were 118 and 52 respectively.The percentage of positive isolation of bacteria for both of them were 44, and 38.4% respectively and from the same patients with urinary tract Infections and wounds and Insulin Depended Diabetes (IDD) patients were 158 and 68 samples respectively and the percentage of bacterial isolation were at 78.5 and 67.6% respectively. The patients with Insulin Non - dependent Diabetes (INDD) were 69 and 42 samples, where positive isolates from bacteria were 75 and 71.4% respectively. The infections females from the Healthy and Diabetes Patients that (IDD) or (INDD) were larger than that of the males patients and with the same state with the wounds infections state for (IDD) patients, whereas the rate was smaller than of males for wounds infections to patients with the other diabetes infections type. The age group between 41 - 60 years was the larger percentage with all infections, except with wounds infections to (INDD) patients, while the age group between 16 - 40 years was the larger, and the infections were the largest means in the Winter and Autumn compare the other seasons.The higher rate of bacteria that isolated from patients with Urinary Tract Infections was Escherichia coli then other types like Citrobacter diversus , Proteus mirabilis, Morganella morganii, and Enterobacter aerogenes. The larger rate of bacteria in patients with diabetes and wounds Infections was Escherichia coli then Citrobacter diversus, Proteus mirabilis, Enterobacter aerogenes, Morganella morganii and Staphylococcus aureus. The rate of diabetes infections with urinary tract infections and wounds increased in winter and autumn seasons more than of summer and spring seasons, Most bacterial isolates where sensitive for chloramphenicol.Other antibiotics were highly variable in their ability to inhibit bacterial isolates.the bacterial isolates were different in their ability to produce virulence factors, the diabetes infections was the reason of increase the variation in their ability to produce that virulence factor and the bacteria that isolated from diabetes patients produced haemolysine factor and capsule.PCR technique was used to show the genetic variations for the more repeats bacterial isolates isolated from all sources infections and used the Specific Primers (KPSMT II) group II capsule, (CNF1) Cytotoxic Necrotizing factor, (CNFs) and (HLY A) haemolysine, the bands appeared after electrophoresis to represent the used Primers, one band was appeared in the sample of diabetes Patients with Urinary Tract Infections(KPSMT II) at molecular weight 270 bp, and one band appeared in the sample of diabetes with urinary tract infections for Primer (HLY A) and it is molecular weight was 177 bp. One band appeared in the sample of diabetes patients for the primer (CNF1)hg with Wound Infections and it is molecular weight 450 bp, and there is not any band in the Primer (CNFs).

Abstract: صممت الدراسة الحالية لغرض التعرف على التاثيرات السمية الوراثية والسمية الخلوية للعقار ميترونيدازول(MTZ) في الفئران البيض Balb/ C والتاثير الوقائي الذي توفره المعاملة المسبقة بالكركم(CUR) في سمية العقار ميترونيدازول. تم استخدام مؤشرات الوراثة الخلوية (النو | The current study was designed to identify the genotoxicity and cytotoxicity of Mitronidazole (MTZ) and protective effect of Curcumin (CUR) against the toxicity of MTZ in whit mice. Cytogenetic endpoints (micronuclei (MN) and mitotic chromosomes), Productive biomarkers (sperms), molecular cytogenetic biomarkers (comet assay), molecular endpoints (genomic and mitochondrial DNA concentration in liver and spleen and testis) and mutation assessment in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) of liver and testis by PCR and restriction pattern were used to evaluate genotoxicity, cytotoxicity of MTZ and protective effects of CUR in white Balb/Cmice. The study was conducted in the laboratories of college of education, college of science in Tikrit university and laboratories in the state company for drugs industry - Samarra - Iraq (SDI). Dosages of 30 and 50 mg/kb.b.wt. of MTZ were tested for genotoxic and cytotoxic and mutagenic effects in somatic and sperms of white mice. The dosages 4.5 and 10 mg/kgb.wt. of CUR were used to study the protective effects of CUR in genotoxicity and cytotoxicity and mutagenecity of MTZ. The current study showed that MTZ has genotoxic effect expressed by high frequency of micronuclei in polychromatic erythrocytes (PECs) which reached 15.5 ± 2.88 with the dosage 30 mg/kg.b.wt. and 21.31 ± 4.2 with the dosage 50mg/kg.b.wt. compared with 7.25 ± 1.88 in negative control. In the study of the protective effects of CUR against genotoxic and cytotoxic effects of MTZ, we observed that in mice treated with the dosage 4.5 mg/kg.b.wt of CUR for 9 days before the dosage 50 mg/kg.b.wt. of MTZ, There were significant p<0.05 decrease in MN frequency which reached 13.25 ± 4.19 compared with 21.31 ± 4.2 for mice treated with the dosage 50mg/kg.b.wt. of MTZ withoutCurcumin. The study showed that MTZ has cytotoxicity expressed by significant p<0.05 decrease in mitotic index (MI) which reached 0.010 in bone - marrow of the mice treated with 50 mg/kg.b.wt. compared with 0.023 in negative control. The dosage 4.5 mg/kg.b.wt. of CUR for 9 days before giving the dosage 50 mg/kg.b.wt. of MTZ resulted in returning of MI in bone - marrow 0.021 to its levels in negative control 0.023 compared with its value which reached 0.010 with the dosage 50 mg/kg.b.wt. of MTZ. The two dosages 30 and 50 mg/kg.b.wt. of MTZ caused significant p<0.05 decrease in total number of sperms which reached 2.4±2.4 and 1.5 ± 0.1 milions simultaneously compared with 6.7 ± 0.9 millions in negative control. More over there were significant p<0.05 decrease in motile sperms which reached 25.2 ± 11.0 and 14.6 ± 10.6 compared with 57.6 ± 8.0 of negative control. Significant p<0.01 decrease in the length of mid - piece and total length of sperm tail with the dosage 50 mg/kg.b.wt. of MTZ which reached 19.2 ± 6.0 and 69.0 ± 6.0 simultaneously compared with 31.6 ± 9.0 and 100.3 ± 15.0for negative control. Treating with the dosage 4.5 mg/kg.b.wt. of CUR for 9 day before the dosage 50 mg/kg.b.wt. of MTZ resulted in the return of mid - piece and total length of sperm tail which reached 29.5 ± 3.0 and 95.0 ± 5.0 close to the levels of negative control 31.06 ± 9.0 and 100.3 ± 15.0 simultaneously. Compared to 19.2 ± 6.0 for the length of mid - piece and 69.0 ± 6.0 for total length of sperm tail in mice treated with the dosage 50 mg/kg.b.wt. of MTZ without previous treatment with CUR. The study of damage levels in DNA with comet assay showed that MTZ induced significant p<0.01 levels of damage reached 45.4 ± 2.36 with the dosage 50mg/kg.b.wt. of MTZ in bone - marrow and 36.8 ± 0.58 in liver cells compared with 9.0 ± 2.12 and 5.2 ± 0.58 simultaneously in negative control. There were decrease occurred in the level of damage in DNA of bone - marrow and liver cells. However it did not return to its levels of negative control 9.0 ± 2.12 in bone - marrow and 5.2 ± 0.58 in liver cells. OTM values reached 26.4 ± 1.29 and 24.0 ± 1.14 in mice treated with the dosage 4.5 mg/kg.b.wt. of CUR for 9 days before the dosage 50 mg/kg.b.wt. of MTZ. However The values of OTM lower than its values in bone - marrow 45.4 ± 2.36 and 36.8 ± 1.66 in liver cells of mice treated with the dosage 50 mg/kg.b.wt. without CUR. In the molecular study, The results showed mutagenic effect of the dosage 50 mg/kg.b.wt. of MTZ in mice mtDNA expressed by novel restriction sites for Bam - HI and Hind - III in liver tissue and SauA3 in testis. The treatment of mice with the dosage 4.5mg/kg.b.wt. of CUR for 9 days before the dosage 50mg/kg.b.wt. of MTZ did not resulted in the inhibition of mutagenesis in mtDNA. In conclusion, results of this study showed that MTZ has genotoxic and cytotoxic effects in white mice and mutagenic effect in mice mtDNA. The dosage 4.5 mg/kg.b.wt.of Curcumin has protective effect against genotoxic and cytotoxic effects of MTZ. on the other hand the dosage 4.5 mg/kg.b.wt. of Curcumin has no protective effect against mutagenicity of MTZ in mice mtDNA.

The patients divided into three groups, which included non - pregnant women infected and pregnant women who are infected and pregnant non - infected urinary tract (UTI) also samples of the study was divided by periods of gestation into three periods included the first period (1 - 12 weeks) and the second period (12 - 24 weeks) and the third period (24 - 40 weeks) of pregnancy The results of the current study showed that there is significant increase in ESR for a pregnant women infected and pregnant women non - effected with UTI when compared to control (P ? 0.01) and highest level of ESR was in the last third of pregnancy, The total Count of white blood cells (WBC), results showed a significant difference between the three groups compared to the control group, had the highest level for (WBC) in the last third of pregnancy. As for the study of hormones when measuring the level of the hormone LH showed a significant decrease (P ? 0.05) for the three groups compared to control and the steepest decline of hormone level was in the last third of pregnancy. The hormone FSH got a significant decrease in the three groups compared with a control (P ? 0.01), lowest level was in the third trimester of pregnancy.Estrogen level showed a significant decrease (P ? 0.01) for a non pregnant women with UTI compared with a control, and show a significant increase in the level of the two sets of hormone - positive pregnant non - infected, and the highest increase was in last third of Pregnancy in both groups. The progesterone showed a significant increase in the level of the pregnant infected and pregnant non - infected (P ? 0.01) compared with a control group. While in non - pregnant, there is no significant difference. The testosterone level increased significantly (P ? 0.05) in the three groups compared to control group. the level Interleukines, Tests showed that a significant increase(p ? 0.01) in the level of interleukin - 2 (IL - 2) for a pregnant women with (UTI) compared with a control and a significant decrease in the last third of pregnancy in pregnant women which is non infected compared to the rest of the gestation periods, and for the level of interleukin - 4 The present study showed a significant increase (p ? 0.01) in the level of interleukin - 4 (IL - 4) for a non - pregnant women with (UTI) compared with a controlThe highest level reached by IL - 4 was in the last third of pregnancy in the non - infected at (p ? 0.05), interleukin - 6 has a significant decrease for the two sets of pregnant women with (UTI) and non - infected, compared with the control group and the absence of significant differences between the two sets of pregnant women infected and non - infectedRegarding level of C - reactive protein there is a significant increase (P ? 0.01) in the two groups of pregnant and non pregnant women compared with a control, and significant differences between control group and a group of pregnant non - infected.

Abstract: اجريت الدراسة الحالية بهدف عزل وتشخيص المكورات المعوية البرازية Enterococcus faecalis من مصادر سريرية مختلفة، وتقييم التغيرات المظهرية والافات المرضية في بعض اعضاء الفئران البيض السويسرية المصابة تجريبيا لذا تضمنت هذه الدراسة محورين رئيسين هما : الجانب ال | The present study was conducted to isolate and diagnose an Enterococcus faecalis which are isolated from different clinical sources, and evaluate the appearance changes and pathological lesions in some Swiss white mice organs which are infected experimentally, so this study deals with two main aspects : The bacteriological type : The results obtained may be summarized as follows : - The total number of (310) clinical samples were collected from Baquba Educational Hospital and Al - Batol Hospital for Maternity and Children in Baquba city from the beginning of March to the end of September (2009) with various ages and from both sexes, including (82) urine samples from patients with urinary tract infections, (46) vaginal swab from infection of female reproduction system, (45) surgical wound swabs, (38) stool sample from patients with abdominal pains and diarrhea, (32) throat swabs from tonsillitis patients, (25) middle ear swabs, (22) burn swabs, and (20) blood sample from patients with bacteremia and prosthetic valvular heart diseases. The isolates diagnose depended on the cultural and microscobial characteristics and biochemical tests, serological diagnosis according to Lancefield method and assertion diagnosis according to (API - 20 Strep) was done to find (32) isolates of Enterococcus : (28) isolates of E. faecalis (87.5%), (3) isolates of E. faecium (9.4%) and one isolate of E.gallinarum (3.1%). - The sensitivity of E. faecalis was tested against (23) different antibiotics. The isolates showed resistance of about (100%) against Aztreonam, Amikacin, Co - Trimoxazole, Cephalexin and Cefotaxime, while the isolates were sensitive about (100%) against Amoxicillin, Nitrofurantoin, Imipenem and Ampicillin, while they showed a various resistance to another antibiotics involved in this study. - The ability of the isolates for producing the Beta - lactamase enzymes was tested by the standard rapid iodometric method. The results showed the disability of these isolates for producing the Beta - lactamase enzymes. - The production ability of E. faecalis for some virulence factors was evaluated. The results showed the ability of these isolates of adherence to the uroepithelial cells of human's urinary system were (93%), and (82.1%) were bacteriocin producer, and (28.6%) were hemolysin producer, and (43%) were gelatinase producer, and (10.7%) were lipase producer, and (35.7%) were capsule producer, and (14.3%) were cytolysin producer, while none of the isolates under the study showed the ability of haemagglutination.Histopathology type : (4.6 x 106) cell / ml concentration of the bacterial suspension of E. faecalis was used orally on mice and histopathological changes were examined after (3, 5, 7, 14) days of infection, which revealed the ability of bacteria for colonization and causing pathological lesions and many histological changes in the liver, kidney, small intestine and hearts of these animals. The damage in the animal tissues of the second group (treated with Streptomycin and EFU10) was more than that in the third group (treated with Streptomycin and EFS14), and fourth group (treated with EFU10 only). Generaly, the most important histopathological changes were the necrosis in some areas, and infiltration of inflammatory cells in infected tissues. These pathological lesions cause damage and decompose of tissues with distortion of their morphologies.

The epidemiologically which is main to determine the rates of infection as registered in some district of Diyala province in according to the age, sex, and the month of the year so according to the environmental conditions : - 7200 samples of blood collected from many different ages persons from different districts in Diyala. (3009 males, 4011 females) are examined. The study shows a positive cases of 607 distributed among the districts including (Jalawlaa, Bani Saa'd, Baladruz, Baquba, Alodeim amd DeliAbbas) these register a highest percentage of infection in Jalawlaa sub - district about 12.8% and less percentage of infection are in Baquba about 1.3% whiel is register highest percentage of in infection were (>1 - 5) years about 13.2% and lower percentage infection (<5 - 10) years wuth rate 2.4% so the groups of ages (25 - 30) years didn't appear any infections. according to the gender the males are high from the females whom effected with this disease the number of males (432) case with rate 71, 1%. The number of infected females about 175 cases with rate 28.8%.while in the month of years were the male infection are a highest infection in January - 2012, but did not register any infection in (June and July). The environmental condition infective in prevalence the disease between the people whom resident the houses which breed the animals inside, the number of infections are 245 cases from 607 positive cases with rate 40.3%. This was the low rate 4.9% from the infected people because of rats in their hoses. which didn't kill them. 2. The comparison of diagnostic methods of clinical test, laboratory test and serological test, with the molecular methods from the direction of sensitivity and specificity, The studies results appeared the importance of clinical test subtle in case of a similar cases depend on the clinical symptoms there are a highest cases from clinical test that the children suffering from liver magle their number are 176 cases the rate 80.36%, but the lowest cases of clinical test are 59.19% whom suffered from a skin pallor and black. The laboratory tests appeared the blood picture through testing the 350cases whom suspicion in their infection with leishmaniasis, the number of whom suffering from the lower of WBC 73 with rate 34.2%, while the low cases are 6 with rate 2.82% from whom suffering from hipper ESR, but the serological test was IFAT, Dipsrtick, spotkala - azor, ELISA, KA tex LATEX. Diagnostic infection leishmaniasis a best in diagnostic disease is dipstick test it's sensitivity are 95%, but it's specificity 100% but the lowest is the test of LATEX, it's sensitivity 75% and specificity 80%.3. The Molecular methods : PCR technique test clear recently the new highest sensitivity in diagnosis when the number of the parasite are a little in the blood in the infections peoples whom choose in random way. when testing 100 samples of DNA from the infection with cutaneous and visceral leishmaniasis, the number of infected male are 73, But the number of infected females are 27 with leishmaniasis. and studying the relation between PCR diagnosis according to the sex, age, district and environment condition, so as the recognize between the species of the parasite from the sequence Nitrogen basics with number in each species, (the species are L.donovani, L.infantum, L.tropica, L.major) so recognize the vector insect sand fly Morphology by key classification (ph.alexandri, ph.papatasi Ph.sergentasi, and sqauanlpleuris).

This study includes measuring some chemical and physical properties of water and conduct quantitive and qualitative study of the Algal community which includes the phytoplankton and the periphyton algae , in addition to measuring some of pollutants types such as Heavy metals and Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) the water of the river and its sediments and some kinds of aquatic plants such as Ceratophyllum demersum, Hydrilla verticillta, Potamogeton pectinatus and Phragmites australis. The results of the present study showed temporal and spatial variations in the physical - chemical properties of water. The water temperature ranged between (12.7 - 31.3) °C which accompanied the variations of air temperature that ranged between (8.5 - 45.3) °C. The river was tending to the alkalinity and the PH was ranged between 7.5 - 8.8 were dominated by bicarbonate ions, the electrical conductivity and the Total Dissolved Solids and The Total suspended solids ranged between (840 - 1416.67) ?s/cm and (413.33 - 700) mg / l and (6.33 - 55.07) mg / l respectively. The river was oligosaline with a salinity ranged between (0.54 - 0.91) PSU. The water current velocity and light penetration recorded fluctuated during the period of the study, their values ranged between (11.68 - 37.77) cm / Sec and (33.67 - 148.67) cm, respectively. The Dissolved oxygen and biological oxygen demand increased during the cold months and decreased during the warm months where the values ranged between (4.97 - 12.63) mg / l and (0.4 - 4.48) mg / l respectively. The river was very hard, the total hardness ranged between (240 - 516.67) mg / l, and the Total alkalinity ranged between (106.33 - 162) mg / l. Calcium ions and Magnesium ions ranged between (40.08 - 162.32) mg / l and (13.67 - 64.73) mg / l. The values of sulfates ranged between (58.94 - 131.37) mg / l ; their values show an increase at the study sites which were under highly human activities, but they did not exceed the permissible levels of the drinking water quality. The nutrients such as silica and total nitrogen and total phosphorous showed variations during the study and their values ranged between (1.63 - 6.26) mg/l and (1.4 - 3.5) mg / l and (1.33 - 17.29) ?g/l, respectively. A total of 303 algal taxa of phytoplankton and periphyton was identified during the study belonged to six classes of Algae; they include Bacillariophyceae (196 taxa) , Chlorophyceae (59 taxa) , Cyanophyceae (33 taxa) , Euglenophyceae (6 taxa) , Dinophyceae (6 taxa) and Cryptophyceae (3 taxa). The Bacillariophyceae were a dominated class in the phytoplankton community, they constitute 62.4 % of the total number of species followed by Chlorophyceae by 20.66 % and Cyanophyceae by 11. 6 % respectively. The Dinophyceae and Euglenophyceae constitute 2.07 %, while the cryptophyceae constitute the lower percentage which amounted to 1.2 % of the total species. Some identified algae like as Nitzschia, Navicula, Cymbella, Fragilaria, Scenedesmus and Oscillatoria were dominated by their species numbers in the phytoplankton community , and the total numbers of the phytoplankton cells ranged between (446.8 × 10 3 - 9177 × 10 3) cell / l. In October recorded the highest number of the cells, while in March recorded the lower numbers of the algal cells during the study. A total of 203 taxa was characterized in the epipelic algal community dominated by Bacillariophyceae by 79. 3 %, followed by Cyanophyceae by 10.84 % and Chlorophyceae by 6.9 % respectively, while the Euglenophyceae and Dinophyceae constitutes the lower percentage formed 1.48 % of the total species. The total number of epipelic algal cells ranged between (9924.5 to 10.02 × 104) cells / cm2. Winter season recorded the highest average of the total number of cells, while Spring season recorded the lowest numbers of cells. Also, some genera such as Nitzschia, Navicula, Cymbella, Fragilaria and Oscillaroria were dominated in the study period. During this study some taxa of epiphytic algae have also identified on four types of aquatic plants, which included C.demersum , H.verticillata, P.pectinatus and P.australis, the numbers of algal taxa on each there were 124, 116, 77 and 114 respectively. The results showed dominated of Bacillariophyceae followed by Chlorophyceae and Cyanophyceae and other classes respectively. Some algal genera are dominated by their species of the studied plants such as Cymbella, Navicula, Nitzschia, Fragilaria and Gomphonema. In Autumn the highest numbers of epiphytic cells were recorded, where the total numbers of cells in these plants are 74.24 × 104 cells/g, 38.46 × 104 cells/g, 19.22 × 104 cells/g and 38.88 × 104 cells/g respectively. While the lower number of cells recorded during Summer in each of C.demersum by 8.07 × 104 cells/g and H.verticillata by 8.034× 104 cells/g and P. pectinatus by 3.74 × 104 cells/g, whereas the P. Australis recorded the lowest number of cells during Spring which was 22.51 × 104 cells/g. C.demersum contained the highest numbers of algal cells compared to other plants. The distribution and concentrations of some Heavy metals such as Cd, Cu, Pb, Fe and Zn are studied in each of the water (dissolved and particulate fractions), and sediments (exchangeable and residual fractions) and four aquatic plants. The average of these heavy metals concentrations in the dissolved phase of the water were (1.4, 1.15, 3.74, 5.46 and 7.66) ?g / l, respectively. While their concentrations in the particulate phase were (3.67, 110.23, 63.97, 732.98 and 167.2) ?g/g respectively. In the sediments the concentrations of these heavy metals in the exchangeable phase were (2.53, 38, 43.45, 169 and 42.16) ?g/g, respectively, whereas their concentrations in the residual phase were (2.54, 32.82, 50.33, 1452.75 and 53) ?g/g, respectively. The concentrations of the Cd, Cu, Pb, Fe, Zn in the aquatic plants are also measured during this study and the average of theirs in C.demersum were (11.09, 14.16, 48.58, 2202 and 65.42) ?g/g, respectively. While their concentrations in the H. verticillate were (10.17, 12.99, 43.58, 2921.98 and 60.45) ?g/g, respectively. In P. pectinatus were (11.58, 13.52, 50.06, 2315.47 and 77.88) ?g/g, respectively. Whereas their concentrations in P.australis were (9.29, 11.83, 39.84, 1845.21 and 52.76) ?g/g, respectively. The distribution of sixteen Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons is also determined in Al - Husseinia River during this study in each of water, sediments and aquatic plants. These organic compounds include Naphthalene، Acenaphthylene، Acenaphthene، Fluorene، Phenanthrene، Anthracene، Fluoranthene، Pyrene، Benzo(a)Anthracene، Chrysene، Benzo(b)Fluoranthene، Benzo(k)Fluoranthene، Benzo(a)Pyrene، Dibenzo(a, h)Anthracene, Benzo(ghi)perylene وIndo(1, 2, 3 - cd)Pyrene. Their concentrations in the water of river ranged between (0.24 - 58.72) ng/l recorded for each of Benzo(a)Pyrene and Benzo(ghi)perylene respectively, the total concentration of PAHs in the water was 152 ng/L, the results also showed that the source of water pollution of these compounds was pyrogenic and petrogenic origin. In the sediments the concentration of these compounds ranged between (0.36 - 119.06) ?g/g. For each of Naphthalene and Benzo(ghi)perylene, respectively. The total concentration of PAHs in the sediment was 257.71 ?g/gm., The results also showed that the source of sediment pollution with these compounds was also pyrogenic and petrogenic origin as the water. In aquatic plants, the concentration of these compounds in C.demersum and H.verticillata ranged between (0.12 - 152.3) ?g/g and (0.3 - 129.8) ?g/g for Fluoranthene and Benzo(ghi)perylene to each plants respectively , while their concentration in P.pectinatus ranged between (0.25 - 99.36) ?g/g for each Benzo(b)Fluoranthene and Benzo(ghi)perylene respectively, in P.australis PAHs concentration ranged between (0.37 - 134.85) ?g/g for Chrysene and Benzo(ghi)perylene, respectively. C.demersum recorded the highest total concentration of PAHs compared to other plants, and the results showed that the source of pollution in these plants was Pyrogenic origin. They also revealed that Benzo(ghi)perylene recorded the highest concentration during this study compared with other compounds.
