Abstract: تعد الاصابة ببعض العوامل المرضية مسؤولة عن حوالي خمس حالات السرطان في العالم. وهنالك العديد من الاصابات الطفيلية التي ثبت دورها كمسبب او محفز لسرطانات معينة، الا ان العلاقة بين الاصابة بالاكياس المائية والسرطان مازالت موضع جدال ولذلك فقد هدفت الدراسة الح | Infectious agents are responsible for about one fifth of all cancer cases worldwide. Some parasitic infections are well documented to cause certain cancers. However, the association of hydatid cyst (HC) with cancer is a controversial issue. The current study aimed to investigate the possible association between chronic hydatid cyst infection with liver and lung cancers. The study involved three groups : the first group included 42 patients with HC, the second group included 35 patients with liver (12) and lung (23) cancers, while 25 apparently healthy individuals were recruited to represent the third group (control). Number, diameter, location and the status (calcified or non - calcified) of the HC were recorded from HC group. Blood samples were collected from the studied groups from which serum were separated and kept until being used. Enzyme linked immune - sorbent assay (ELISA) was used to estimate serum levels of anti - HC IgG antibodies, carbohydrate antigen (CA19 - 9), alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and ? - glutaml transferase (GGT), while Absorbance measured by spectrophotometric method was used to determine levels of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and adenosine deamimase (ADA).All members of HC group gave positive result for anti - HC IgG antibodies compared to 11 patients from cancer group and oneindividual from control group (Odds ratio =8.3). Both HC and cancer groups showed significantly higher p<0.05 levels of CA19 - 9, ALP, LDH and GGT ((76.16±58.26 U/ml and 110.77±96.47 U/ml), (131.81±76.65 U/L and 141.72±97.23 U/L), (244.24±117.94 U/L and 254.68± 115.56 U/L) and (95.06±66.73 U/L and 105.12± 41.42 U/L) respectively) than control group (10.81± 9.12 U/ml, 65.14± 25.21 U/L, 146.15± 37.59 U/L and 17.21± 6.87 U/L respectively). In cancer group, casp - 8 level (72.20±54.72 picomol/ L) was significantly lower from than that of control group (92.30± 41.20 picomol/L) and insignificantly from that of HC group (60.86±40.84 picomol/L). In HC group, ADA level was 47.84±10.65 U/L and was significantly higher p<0.05 than that of cancer group (10.14± 1.99 U/L) and control (16.09±2.70 U/L).Investigation for the risk factors which may increase the risk of developing liver or lung cancers in HC patients revealed that male, smokers and rural residents were more susceptible for such development (Odds ratios : 3.45, 6.982 and 5.48, respectively). Number and cyst size were significantly correlated with the level of anti - HC IgG antibodies (r= 0.539, P<0.001 and r= 0.618, P< 0.001 respectively), while calcified cysts associated with significantly higher levels p<0.05 of CA19 - 9 and GGT (105.03±88.9 U/ml and 145.46±101.57 U/L, respectively) than that of non - calcified cysts(65.91±39.87 U/ml and 77.17±7.23 U/L, respectively). Average level of anti - HC IgG antibobodies in calcified cysts was 19.75±13.11U/ml and was significantly P<0.05 lower than its counterpart of non - calcified cysts (85.017±76.84 U/ml). All studied parameters showed significantly higher levels in livers cysts than their counterparts in lung cysts. Results of the current study indicate that chronic infection with HC can increase the host susceptibility to develop liver or lung cancer.

Abstract: This study was conducted on 20 male of Swiss albino mice, where the main target of this study was to identify the influence of copper nanoparticles (Cu - NPs) on some organs of the male reproductive system. Animals were orally administered with 0.1 ml of 100 mg/kg Cu - NPs for 7, 14, 21 days. Then the animals were dissected in the next day after the end of the dosing period and took from them testes and epididymis (head and tail) to study the parameters in which these particles have affected, and this parameter as follows : 1 - Changes in the weights of each of the animals bodies, testes, tunica albuginea, and epididymis (heads and tails). 2 - Changes in sperm characteristics in testes and epididymis (head and tail), which included : the percentage of live sperms, abnormal sperms and sperm concentration. 3 - Changes in the percentages of the spermatogenic cells, which included : a - Spermatogonia. b - Primary & Secondary Spermatocytes. c - Spermatids. d - Sperms. 4 - Changes in numbers of leydig cells and nuclei diameters. 5 - Changes in diameters of seminiferous tubules and their lining wall thickness. 6 - Changes in thickness and height of epithelial cells in both the head and tail of the epididymis. 7 - Histopathological changes in testes and epididymis (head and tail). Phenotype description of testes from mice treated with copper nanoparticles for a period of 21 days occurrence of congestion and a few amount of fatty material around the testes. The results also revealed a decline in the average body weights on the period of 7 and 21 days of treatment when compared with the weight of the same animals before treatment and the decline was significantly at (P<0.05). Whereas the testes and tunica albuginea weights recorded a significant decrease in their average weights (P<0.05) when compared with control groups. As well as the epididymis weights where showed significantly decrease (P<0.05) in the average of the epididymides heads weights for all three periods of treatment, while a significant decrease (P<0.05) in the average weight of the epididymis tail appear for two periods 7 and 21 days compared with control groups. The study also reported a decrease in the percentage of live sperm and the average sperm concentration and an increase in the percentage of sperm abnormalities extended to all periods of treatment compared with control groups and this change was significant at the level of (P<0.05). The number of leydig cells and nuclei diameters, the results show a decrease in their averages and all the extended treatment period when compared with control groups, and this decrease was significantly at (P<0.05). Treatment with particles of copper nanoparticle indicated a decrease in the percentage of spermatogonia, primary spermatocytes and sperms in all periods of treatment compared with control groups and this decrease was significantly at the level of (P<0.05). While the results of the study revealed a significant increase at the level of (P<0.05) in the percentage of secondary spermatocytes and spermatids compared with the control animals. The study also showed a significant decrease at the level of (P<0.05) in the diameter of the seminiferous tubules of testes and the wall thickness of the seminiferous tubules for all periods of treatment compared with control groups. As well as a reduction in wall thickness and height of the epithelium in epididymis (head and tail) for all periods of treatment compared with control animals and this decline was significantly at (P<0.05). The current study also recorded a textile damage in the testes and epididymis (head and tail), which summarized the crash of some seminiferous tubules, degeneration of lining cells in tubule, the appearance of vacuole between cells and lifting epithelium from the basement membrane. On this basis, this study has shown for the first time that particles of copper nanoparticles have a negative impact on the effectiveness and activity of the male reproductive system in albino mice.

Abstract: تناولت الدراسة الحالية دراسة تشريحية مقارنة لتسعة مراتب من العائلة القرعية Cucurbitaceae المستزرعة والبرية والتي زرعت في الحديقة النباتية لكلية التربية للعلوم الصرفة ابن الهيثم والمراتب هي : 1 - Citrullus colocynthis Schrad2 - Citrullus vulgaris Schrad3 | The present study included comparative anatomical study for nine taxa of Cucurbitaceae family for cultivated and wild types, which were planted in the garden of College of Education for Pure Sciences/ Ibn Al - Haitham. These taxa included : Citrullus colocynthis Schrad, Citrullus vulgaris Schrad, Cucumis melo Linnaeus, Cucumis melo var.flexuosus Naudin, Cucumis sativus Linnaeus, Cucurbita maxima Duchesne, Cucurbita pepo Linnaeus, Lagenaria siceraria (Mol.) Standl, Luffa cylindrica (Linnaeus) M. Roem. This study focused on some the anatomical characterization as compared study for the first time to these taxa in Iraq. This study included the features of ordinary epidermal cells, leaves petioles, stems, pedicles and sepals of the studied taxa. The results found the appearance of stomata in the stems and petioles in straight line as adjacent planar shape to the epidermal cells and not scattered as found in the leaves, this result was seen for the first time in the current taxa. Furthermore, the stomata have been shown in pedicel and sepals in same type as the stomatal complexes in leaves. The importance of phenotypic variation for the length and types of eglandular trichomes and the presence or not of glandular trichomes were found to carry out the role of indumentum in the different isolated taxa. Additionally, this study included the examination of the cross sections of the roots and also exposed the constituent tissues of it, the variation in the thickness of epidermis, cortex, vascular cambium as well as the arrangement of phloem cells have an important role in the studied taxa. The cross sections of stems, leaves petioles and pedicles showed shape and studied a significant role in the studied taxa and split them into groups.Moreover, this study concluded that the following of above sections from the outside into the inside has an important role to find out their constituent tissue. Thus the results of the study clarified the importance of epidermis tissue through the explanation of the outer and inner tangential walls of their cells and the variation in their dimensions, thickness and kind of stomatal complexes; therefore it has been given the importance of those features in the studied taxa in this study. Cortex tissue showed an extension of angular collenchyma and chloronechyma from stem to pedicel and have shown variation in the thickness in these two layers which was useful in the classification of studied taxa. Vascular tissues differed in the shape of vascular bundle, the number of rows and xylem units and the arrangement of the internal phloem, and all of those characteristics have helped in the studied taxa. In addition, the vascular tissues helped to find their arranged in the stems and found as vascular cylinder shape, while in the petioles and pedicel shown as vascular ribbons were which took the shape of sections petioles and pedicel. The medullar cells and medullary rays have been studied and also their similarity in the morphological characterization and function. Moreover, the anatomical features of the vertical sections of the laminae of leaves in mesophyll tissue have been examined, in the thickness of palaside and spongy layers in midrib, the variation in number and arrangement of vascular bundles have an important role in the studied taxa. In the current study, the ordinary and petal leaves venation and the type of venation have been studied in the studied taxa. Moreover the vertical sections for sepals were examined and also their similarity with laminae of leaves which was useful for studying the constituent tissues of some parts such as pedicel and sepals and anatomical features; and all of the studied characterization helped to study the vegetative parts through following them in studied taxa.

Abstract: Polycystic ovary syndrome is the most common endocrinopathy in women, affecting 5 - 10% of women of reproductive age.The principal features of PCOS are anovulation, resulting in irregular menstruation, amenorrhea, ovulation - related infertility, and polycystic ovaries; excessive amounts or effects of androgenic hormones. Leptin, a key hormone in energy homeostasis and neuroendocrine function, has a permissive role in the pathogenesis of reproductive dysfunction. Aim of the study To assess the role of serum leptin in women with PCOS and to evaluate leptin levels in PCOS women before and after treatment with metformin. Materials and Methods This prospective experimental study included 60 women of reproductive age (18 - 38years) were allocated to four groups : 15 obese women with PCOS (BMI >30 kg/m2), 15obese controls, 15 non - obese women with PCOS (BMI 18 - 30 kg/m2), and 15 non - obese controls. Serum leptin and insulin levels were measured and compared between case and control subjects also comparison done before and after treatment with metformin. Results There was a significant increase in leptin in non - obese PCOS group (8.2±2.73) compared to non - obese control (5.64±1.43), (P value=0.0032), insulin level was significantly higher in PCOS group (15.87±6.65) than control (5.47±1.68), (P value<0.001). There was significant decrease in BMI, leptin and insulin levels after 12 weeks of metformin treatment in obese and non - obese PCOS subjects. Conclusions Leptin level increased remarkably with increasing body weight. It is higher in non - obese PCOS women in comparison with non - obese healthy women. Treatment with metformin for 12 weeks resulted in significant reduction in leptin levels in both obese and non - obese PCOS subjects.

Abstract: تسلط الدراسة الحالية الضوء على تشخيص وتحديد نسبة الاصابة بطفيلي الاميبا المرضية المتمثلة بالاميبا الحالة للنسج Entamoeba histolytica وتمييزها عن الاميبا غير المرضية المتمثلة بالاميبا المتغايرة Entamoeba dispar اللتين تتمايزان بشكلهما المتماثل في كلا الطور | This study sheds light on the determination and diagnose of the percentage of infection of like Entamoeba histolytica and differentiate it from the non pathogenic Entamoeba dispar that were morphologically identical in both cysts and trophozoite phase in two different groups : the first group includes 50 stool samples of patients suffering from diarrhea and abdominal pain (symptomatic group) while the second group includes 95 stool samples of patients not suffering from diarrhea and abdominal pain (Asymptomatic group).In addition to that, 20 stool samples were collected from healthy individuals as a control these samples were collected patients of AL - Zafaranyia General Hospital and AL - Alwyia Childhood Teaching Hospital in Baghdad from July, 2011 to May, 2012.These samples belong to different ages (1 year - < 50 years) of different sexes (males and females). Entamoeba samples were diagnosed by using two methods : the first one is the wet mount as a General Stool Examination(GSE) after macroscopic examination for sample and classifying them according to their consistency (solid, semisolid and liquid) and color (brown and yellow) and presence of blood and mucous in addition to diagnosing them microscopically to detect the presence of pus cells and both phases trophozoite and cyst for Entamoeba histolytica.While the second method that was depended in diagnosis is duplex polymerase chain reaction (dPCR) by using two pairs of genes for detection of their amplification in DNA sample isolated from stool. The first pair is cystein proteinase which represents one of virulent factors in Entamoeba histolytica parasite as a tissue invader. The second pair encodes the surface antigen present on the surfaces of both parasites E. histolytica and E. dispar. It is represented by Actin gene (Act). The results of the wet mount showed that in percentage of infection of both species (E.histolytica/E.dispar) the (54%) of patient symptom and (34.37%) patient a symptom.While results of the specificity and sensitivity showed that in positive sample wet mount negative PCR while negative sample wet mount showed that positive PCR and higher percentage of infection the Entamoeba dispar. While the results of the dPCR showed that in spite of the presence of both species Entamoeba pathogenic (Entamoeba histolytica) and non pathogenic Entamoeba (Entamoeba dispar) , the percentage of infection of Entamoeba histolytica was lower than that of Entamoeba dispar. This was clear by the detection of amplification the Reaction producets (dPCR) by using both genes : Actin &Ehcp5 where only 8 samples were detected and they were found to be positive amplification Ehcp5 and 31 samples were positive amplification in both groups of patients (symptomatic and a symptomatic). The percentage of infection in females was higher than that in males for all ages when using both tests (wet mount & PCR). More over the patients with less than (10) years old had higher percentage of infection in both sexes.In conclusion, it should not be depended on direct wet mount technique for the identification of infected parasite Entamoeba histolytica and differentiating it from Entamoeba dispar because of their high homology. That the molecular examination is the only method that is able to determine the kind of infection with parasite Entamoeba

Abstract: انقطاع الطمث لاسباب ثانوية هو انعدام الدوره الشهريه لمدة ثلاثة الى ستة اشهر للنساء اللواتي لهن دوره شهريه منتظمة.واستنادا لمنظمة الصحة العالمية ان انقطاع الطمث يتضمن مجموعة (WHOI) و(WHOII) والتي تكون (30%) من حالات العقم.وتعاني اكثر النساء ممن يكونون من م | Secondary amenorrhea refers to the lack of cycle for three months in a row or for more than six months in a woman who has had regular menstrual periods before, and its associated with conditions classified as World Health Organization (WHO) group 1 and WHO group 2 and has been estimated to represent almost (30%) of all causes of infertility. In clinical practice, WHO group 2 subjects present much more frequently than WHO group 1 subjects and they appear to be much harder to treat successfully. Among women classified as WHO group 2, those diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) constitute the largest group (60 - 85% of cases). These women account for most cases with oligomenorrhea (90%) and represent about (30%) of those with amenorrhea.ObjectiveThe aim of this study was to find out the pregnancy rate following intrauterine insemination (IUI) in women complaining of secondary amenorrhea after induction of ovulation and compare it with those achieve pregnancy by natural way.Material and MethodsSeventy five females with secondary amenorrhea were involved in this study, there ages were ranged between (?30, 30 - 39, ?40) years old with infertility duration ranged between (?2, 3 - 4, 5 - 6, 7 - 8, ?9) years. History and medical examination were done for all women, with tubal patency assessment by HSG or laparoscopy.By cycle day two, hormonal assay (S.FSH, S.LH, S.E2, S.Prolactin and S.Testosterone) were done for all females in addition to ultrasonography to exclude any ovarian pathology.Ovulation induction program was applied for all females which include either clomiphene citrate (CC) alone, recombinant Follicular Stimulating Hormone (r - FSH) alone or combined CC and r - FSH. Vaginal ultrasonography was done for all females on day 12 or13 to assess ovarian response (size and number of mature follicles) and endometrial thickness. Meantime all male partners undergo seminal analysis to assess sperm parameters (sperm concentration, sperm motility and morphology).Thirty eight of females participated for natural pregnancy and thirty seven of females participate for IUI. Washing swim up technique was used for sperm activation for all male partner involved in IUI group.Follow up of all these females for pregnancy test to assess the pregnancy rate for both groups (natural and IUI).ResultsThe pregnancy rate achieved by natural way for a women with secondary amenorrhea is (23.7%), and (18.92%) by IUI way.In this study, it was found that female age, infertility duration, hormonal balance and ovulation induction program affect the pregnancy outcome where the young age group and short infertility duration correlate positively with pregnancy rate. Furthermore, early diagnosis of underlying causes of secondary amenorrhea to achieve hormonal balance by suitable ovulation induction program, have an effect on pregnancy rate, were combined CC and r - FSH produce a significant result among females achieve pregnancy by natural way (13.5%) compared with other ways. While ovulation induction by r - FSH drugs produce a significant results (13.5%) among females achieve pregnancy by IUI way.ConclusionFrom results of this study, it was concluded that young female age, short infertility duration, early diagnosis of underlying causes of secondary amenorrhea and the use of r - FSH drugs for ovulation induction produce a high significant pregnancy rate using IUI program.

Abstract: هدفت الدراسة الحالية الى انتاج انزيم السليليز من بكتريا الستربتومايسس ودراسة تاثير بعض الظروف الزرعية على انتاج الانزيم; انتاج الوقود الحيوي من المخلفات السليلوزية من خلال التحلل المائي للمخلفات بالاحماض والانزيمات المايكروبية. تم غربلة 74 عزلة لبكتريا St | The current study was aimed to produce biofuel from cellulosic waste material degraded by local isolate Streptomyces. Seventy four isolates of Streptomyces were screened for cellulase production in solid and liquid media. The results showed higher capability of isolate Streptomyces sp. B 167 for cellulase production and bioconversion of cellulose. Therefore, it was selected for further studies. The results of optimization revealed that the cellulase enzyme productivity by the isolate Streptomyces sp. B 167 reached to 2.1 and 2.28 U/ml after 48 h of incubation time and pH 7 respectively. Cellulase productions in tested isolate improved (2.57 U/ml) by supplementation of cellulose liquid medium with 1 % of yeast extract as nitrogen source. Additives of carbon sources like (manitol, glucose, maltose, sucrose and starch) to the process of saccharification did not improve the cellulase productivity. The bioconversion of cellulosic waste to reducing sugar was maximum with Banana peels (77.78 %) followed by the rice husk (75.56 %), orange peels (71.11 %), corn steep peels (60.0 %) and lowest bioconversions (53.33 %) were recorded with sawdust. The degradation of cellulosic waste increased with increasing substrate concentration. Maximum cellulase productivity (3.18 U/ml) and bioconversion (86.1 %) was obtained at 3 % (w/v) of cellulosic waste (Banana peels). Saccharification of cellulosic waste with different treatment methods was studied. The pretreatment of cellulosic waste with 1 % HCl and H2SO4 produces 21 and 15.8 g of reducing sugar / 100 g of cellulosic waste. In comparison, hydrolysis with Streptomyces sp. B 167 enzymes resulted a significantly higher amount of reducing sugar yield (25 g / 100 g cellulosic waste). Further fermentation of cellulosic hydrolysates was performed using Saccharomyces cerevisiae using stationary fermentation condition. Maximum yield of ethanol were (0.30, 0.19 and 0.10 g ethanol / g glucose) observed with Streptomyces sp. B 167 enzymes, HCl and H2SO4 hydrolysates respectively after 48 h of fermentation

These samples include : (75) Urine, (28) stool, (28) of wound swabs and (9) sputum samples.The incidence of nosocomial infection was (45.7%) of them, urinary tract infections were (50.7%) from (75) samples, followed by wound infections (42.9%) from (28) samples, gastrointestinal infections (39.3%) from (28) samples then pneumonia (33.3%) from (9) samples the nosocomial infections were more common in females and age group 51 - 89 years. Different bacterial species were isolated in this study and the results showed that the most commonly isolated type was Citrobacter koseri in a proporation (21%) of urinary tract infections, followed by the following bacterial species : Escherichia coli (15.7%), Staphylococcus schleiferi (10.5%) , Staphylococcus epidermidis (7, 8%), Proteus vulgaris, Staphylococcus saprophytica, Klebsiella ozaenae, Klebsiella ornithindytica in aproportion (5.2%) for each, Enterobacter aerogenes, Providencia stuartii, Staphylococcus warneri, Staphylococcus aureus, Proteus mirabilis in aproportion (2.6%) for each.Citro. koseri were also the most common in wound infections (25%), followed by the following bacterial species : E.coli (16.6%), P.mirabilis (16.6%), Staph.schleiferi, P.vulgaris, Prov.stuartii and Prov.rettgeri in aproportion (8.3%) for each. Citro.koseri were also the most common in the gastrointestinal tract infections in a proporation (36.3%), followed by E.coli (18.1%), S.flexneri (18.1%), P.mirabilisc, Prov.stuartii, Prov.alcalifaciens in a proporation (9%) for each. . While Strept.pneumoniae was the most common(66.7%) in penemonia cases followed by K.pneumoniae (33.3%).The isolated bacteria were tested for antibiotics susceptibility and it has been found that most of these isolates showed high resistance to the studied antibiotics other than Prov. Stuartti was sensitive to all antibiotics except of Rifampicin and Tetracycline. As well as bacterial species belonging to the genus Staphylococcus were sensitive to Amikacin, Staph.aureus was also sensitive to Nitrofurantoin while Staph.warneri was also sensitive to Ciprofloxacin and Nitrofurantoin also Enterobacter aerogenes was resistant to all antibiotics except for Ciprofloxacin and Nitrofuratoin. Eleven of most commonly isolated bacteria which were multidrug resistant were chosen for the curing experiments using SDS to study the relationship of their plasmids with resistant to antibiotics. The results showed that the cured cells of E.coli lost their resistance to Tetracycline Ciprofloxacin and Cefotaxime which Citro.koseri lost their resistance to Tetracycline while K. ornithinolytica lost resistance to both antibiotics Tetracycline and Ciprofloxacin either P.mirabilis lost resistance only to tetracyclin as well as Strept.pneumoniae lost their resistance to Cefotaxime, tracycline and Ampicillin. Which may mean that the genes responsible for resistance to these antibiotics are located on plasmids as proven by the results of electrophoresis.Electrophoresis results also showed that all studied bacterial isolates had the same plasmid profile which may regarded as an epidemiological pointer that plasmids are conjugative which have the ability to transfer antibiotic resistance to other bacterial strains of the same species or to other different bacterial species.

These properties were; temperature of the air and water, light penetration, electrical conductivity, salinity, turbidity, water current speed, total suspended and dissolved solids, dissolved oxygen, biochemical oxygen demand, chemical oxygen demand, carbon dioxide, total alkalinity, acidity, total hardness and ions of calcium, magnesium, sodium, potassium, and the sodium adsorption ratio, chlorides, sulfates, boron, nitrite, nitrate, phosphate, silica and some heavy metals such as cadmium, lead, zinc, copper, chromium, manganese in both phases : dissolved and particulate. results showed that the values of the physical and chemical factors ranged as follows : (7 - 47) C, (10 - 31) C, (14 - 177.5) cm, (1020 - 5600) µs/cm, (0.65 - 3.46) 0%, (0.07 - 129) NTU, (27.03 - 115.57) cm/s, (591 - 2985) mg/L and (0.001 - 0.128) mg/L, (7.04 - 8.8), (6 - 11.8) mg/L, (0.13 - 6.6) mg/L, (8.2 - 53) mg/L, (81.4 - 198) mg/L, (30 - 200) mg/L, (6 - 46) mg/L, (490 - 929.67) mg/L, (83.37 - 290.18) mg/L, (0.79 - 174.84) mg/L, (92.5 - 713) mg/L, (1.9 - 11.18) meq/L, (6 - 133) mg/L, (97.97 - 861.73) mg/L, (329 - 1040) mg/L (0.01 - 4.23) mg/L, (0.008 - 1.33) µg/l, (2.16 - 44.74) µg/L, (0.012 - 0.59) µg/L and (104 - 514) µg/L respectively.Concerning the heavy elements, the values of dissolved cadmium ranged between (undetectable - 0.075 mg/L) and it's particulate between (0.0043 - 0.2705) mg /L and dissolved lead between (undetectable - 0.0232 mg /L) and it's particulate between (0.0045 - 0.148) mg/L and dissolved zinc between (un - detectable - 0.0168 mg/L) and it's particulate between (0.0115 - 0.316 mg/L) and dissolved copper (undetectable - 0.0273 mg/L) and copper is particulate between (0.0062 - 0.063 mg /L) and dissolved chromium between (undetectable - 0.0193 mg/L) and the chromium is particulate between (0.0043 - 0.0449) mg/L and dissolved manganese (undetectable - 0.0256) mg/L and it's particulate between (0.0085 - 0.0739) mg/L.The biological tests include Qualitative and Quantitative Study on phytoplankton and also included calculating the total number of coliform way casting dishes by using the MacConkey Agar media.The number of diagnosed species of Phytoplankton was 295 species, belonging to 74 genera. The Diatoms Bacillariophyceae won the biggest part of it as it formed 160 species and 35 genera any rate (54.24%), followed by green algae (70 species belonging to 24 genera) and green algae (52 species belonging to 11 genera) then Euglenophyceae (10 species belonging to both sexes), while golden brown algae and algae Pyrrophyceae were less algal groups registered as belonging to the two single - sex. Some types of phytoplankton existed in most of the duration of the study, including Bacillaria paxillifera, Cocconies placentula, Cyclotella meneghiniana, Diatoma elongatum, Fragilaria virescence, Melosira ambigua, Synedra acus.The total number of phytoplankton is estimated between (104.9 - 4460.09) cell × 103/liter. An increase in the number of phytoplankton in July and January was observed clearly. The concentrations of chlorophyll - a were ranged between (0.0693 - 9.78 mg /L). While the total number of results for coliform were (5 - 281 × 103) cells/liter, The water quality of the evidence Account (Canadian model) using a number of physical, chemical and Biological properties. The results showed that the waters of the Euphrates are located within categories (Poor - Good) with respect to the public evidence of the quality of water of this river while it was located within categories (Poor - Acceptable) with respect to their use for drinking, While its use for irrigation purposes, it was clear that run river water data fall into two categories (Poor - Good). The results of the analysis of the main components Principal component Analysis (PCA) indicate that the nitrates and the total number of coliform and dissolved oxygen, phosphate, zinc, lead and Biological oxygen demand and pH are the biggest impact on the water quality of the index values of the variables of general purpose.These factors are responsible for the deviation index values, followed by turbidity and total hardness and electrical conductivity and temperature of the water, copper, chromium, and cadmium heat. But with the biggest impact of the index water quality factors for drinking purposes are chloride and electrical conductivity and total hardness, magnesium, turbidity and basal college, sodium, calcium, copper, sulfates, nitrates and coliform, zinc and dissolved oxygen, pH, manganese and lead followed by boron nitrite, cadmium, chromium and vital requirement for oxygen. While the chloride and conductivity electrical, the proportion of sodium, copper, zinc and adsorption of boron have greatest influence on the value of water quality index for irrigation, followed by manganese, cadmium, chromium, lead and pH.The phytoplankton index of Biotic Integrity (P - IBI) has been calculated using ten units including (relative abundance of green algae, green algae, pyrrophyta, Euglenophyta, Xanthophyta, Centralales, pennales, species richness index, the density of phytoplankton and chlorophyll a) The results showed that phytoplankton index of Biotic Integrity values ranging between (47 - 74) in the first position and (47 - 67) in the second location, and (45 - 76) in the third site and (45 - 71) in the fourth site. In other words, phytoplankton index of Biotic Integrity with estimating index (good - poor). The results showed the effectiveness of phytoplankton index of Biotic Integrity values in estimating the environmental changes.

Abstract: استخدمت في هذه الدراسة 125 عينة من حديثي الولادة لتقييم التعبير الجيني لل UGT1A1 والكشف عن المتغاير UGT1A1*28. استخدمت 85 عينة منها في تقييم التعبير الجيني لل UGT1A1, بينما استخدمت ال 40 عينة المتبقية للكشف عن المتغاير UGT1A1*28. اجريت الدراسة الحالية في | A cohort of 125 neonates enrolled in the present study 85 of which subjected to the UGT1A1 expression analysis and forty (40) independent subjects examined for UGT1A1*28 variant. The project was performed in the laboratory of molecular genetics in the collage of education for women, TSB, UCB, BG and ELISA were performed in ATHOP, Assader teaching hospital and Annajaf private laboratory in the period from may to October 2013. Analysis of the UGT1A1 gene expression showed considerable decrease in UGT1A1 expression with relative risk 1.46. Analysis of regression of UGT1A1 mean against severity showed significant inverse correlation between severity of NH and mean UGT1A1 level (r = - 0.99, p = 0.03). Results showed that UGT1A1 expression in males significantly lower than females. Analysis of UGT1A1*28 showed that 80% of the hyperbilirubinemic neonates were positive while 20% were UGT1A1*28 negative. Concluding that there are a considerable proportion of neonates in our community not expressing UGT1A1 enzyme; therefore, they are a risk group for kernicterus. And must be registered and followed up because they are at risk of carcinogenicity, therefore, irinotecan (an anti cancer drug) and similar compounds toxicity. Expression of UGT1A1gene is higher in female than in male neonates, while neonatal jaundice is less severe in female than in male neonates. Eighty percent of jaundiced neonates are UGT1A1*28 mutants. Defective UGT1A1 is the main underlying cause of NJ in our community.

Abstract: طفيلي المقوس الكونديToxoplasma gondii هو طفيلي ابتدائي اجباري داخل الخلايا ذات النواة. له القابلية على اصابة جميع حيوانات الدم الحار ويعد هذا طفيلي ذو اهمية صحية نظرا لما له من تاثيرات مرضية. لقد اجريت عدة دراسات بينت التغيرات النسيجية التي اثرت على انسجة | Toxoplasma gondii is an a zoonotic, obligate intracellular protozoan parasite that has the capacity to infect all warm - blooded animals. Many studies done to present the histological changes of the placental and fetal tissue and organs that resulted by Toxoplasmosis infection of pregnant women and about identification of infected fetal organs, but a lot of these studies were done experimentally on laboratory animals, accordingly the present study aims to study the structural changes of the placenta and fetal tissue and to identify the fetal organs in which the organism localized that taken from aborted fetus and embryos from pregnant woman that diagnosed as infected with Toxoplasma gondii. The present study was carried out during the period December 2012 to March 2013. Eighty women who had abortion chosen randomly from that which were revised gynecology theater in hospitals in Baquba city. Their age were ranged between 16 - 45 years, (10) fetuses and (33) samples of them non - infected as control group (c) and (37) samples were infected with Toxoplasmosis (I). The study included serological examination for mothers and Macropathlogical (Gross) , histopatholgical examination and Immunohistochimcal (IHC) stain of the placenta and fetal organs. Toxoplasmosis diagnosed serologically by ELISA (Enzyme Linked immune Sorrbant Assay) test. Immuno - histological techniques are used to detect the antigen and determination of their morphological localization in fetal and placental tissue. Formalin fixed paraffin embedded tissues (placenta and specimens of organs from aborted fetus) used to determined the antigen (Toxoplasma gondii) to detect the histological changes in these tissues. The ordinary histopathlogical changes of the tissue taken from aborted fetus showed different infiltration inflammatory cell and necrosis changes in brain, liver, lung, upper and lower limbs, kidney and spleen that may be due to infection of the parasite and not all infected organs localized the parasite (Tachyzoites). The results of the study showed that (46.26%) of the randomly selected mothers among that revised to the delivery theaters and had abortion. The fetal tissue and organs of the age (8 - 24) weeks gave positive (+) result for IHC in fetuses(brain and lung) and tachyzoites was detected in that organs, but fetus tissue of the age (4 - 8) weeks was negative for that test. Macropathlogical study of the placenta showed that the weight of the infected placenta was less than the normal ranges. and calcification was not significant in the infected placenta(45.7%) compared with non infected samples (4.28%). Infarction observed high significant in infected group was 25 (35.71%) compared with control group (2.85%) (p=0.001).Necrotic foci also seen as (40%) in infected group compared with control group (14.28%), differences between the two groups was statistically significant (p=0.001). Also congestion observed high significant (p=0.001) and the congestion was seen in (45.71) in infected group and (5.71%) in control group. Histopathlogical examination for placenta showed hemorrhage, necrosis, fibroniod necrosis and degeneration in trophoblastic cell, in both first and second trimester of pregnancy. Villous vascularity observed decreased as (32.85%) in infected group compared with control group (2.85%). Fibronoid necrosis in villi showed high percentage in villi which have > 3 that observed in infected group as (72.9%) compared with control (12.12%). An increased in villous stromal fibrosis was seen in (70.27%) placenta in infected group compared with control group which was (24.24%)

This evaluation revealed that 209 of patients (92%) had vaginal discharge, irritation and itching. Reguested blood samples were taken for laboratory test included estradiol, progesterone and testosterone. The level of these sex hormones in women with Trichomoniasis have been determined and compared with levels of these hormones in control group.In addition high vaginal swab were taken for microbiological tests. and used for diagnosis of Trichomonas vaginalis and other associated microorganisms, the rate of parasitic infection had been determined and it's relation with age group, marital status, level of education and level of vaginal acidity had been estimated. Moreover, the percentage of cases, with pus cells, epithelial cells, red blood cells and clue cells have been estimated. Results : the results of laboratory tests elicited the presence of Trichomonas vaginalis (6.3%). And in addition to it there is bacterial and fungal vaginal infection and the percentages were (54%) and (15%), respectively. Moreover, the results showed the presence of dual infections between the parasite and bacteria, the parasite and fungi, and bacteria and fungi and there percentages were (11.8 %), (8 %) and (4.9 %), respectively.Regarding age group, results showed that the highest parasite infection rate was among women in the age group (26 - 35 years) which was (41.1%), in compare with infection rate in others age group (18 - 25 years) and (36 - 45 years) which were (9.3 %) and (18 %), respectively. Regarding, the marited status, the highest infection rate was founded among married women in comparison with widows, divorcees women, and the percentages were (31.7 %), (6.8 %) and (14.7 %), respectively. Regarding, the educational level, the results showed highest rate of infection with Trichomonas vaginalis was among women with low educational level which was (11.8%) in compared with those with intermediate (7.9%), secondary (4.8%), and tertiary education (1.3%). Regarding, the pH of the vagina, results showed that the rate of vaginal infection were high when pH of vagina > 4.5 in comparison with the lowpH ? 4.5 and the percentages were (83.7%) and (16.3%), respectively. The results of direct smear and cultures showed that (25.9 %) of case (59 patient) were infected with Trichomonas vaginalis, (31.7%) of case infected with E.coli, (27.7%) of case infected with candida albicans, (21.1%) infected with Gardnerella vaginalis, (17.6%) percentages of Lactobacillus spp. (8.3%) percentages of Staphylococcus epidermidas (5.2%) in fected with S. aureus, (3.5%) infected with Enterobacter spp., (2.6%) infected with Proteus spp., (2.2%) infected with Klebsiella spp., (1.7%) infected with Acentobacter spp. and Streptococcus spp., (1.3%) infected with Pseudomonas spp., While the lowest rate was for Neisseria gonorrheae (0.8%). Also results showed that the highest percentage of dual infection with trichomoniasis it was in Gardnerella vaginalis which detected in 22 case (37.2%), followed by Candida albicans, which detected in 18 case (30.5%). While the lowest rate was with Neisseria gonorrheae which detected in one case (1.6%). The other laboratory tests including hormonal estimation in patients with trichomoniasis, the results of current study showed decrease level of estradiol hormone in women infected during follicular and luteal phases of the menstrual cycle, In follicular phase the mean of estradiol was (6.83 pg/ml) in comparison with control group that hormone rate was (42.61 pg/ml). In luteal phase the mean of estradiol was (27.00 pg/ml) comparison with control group which hormone rate was (87.16 pg/ml). In addition to that the level of progesterone have increased in follicular phase but decreased in luteal phase in comparison with control group. In follicular phase the mean of progesterone was (5.89 ng/ml) in com - parison with control group which hormone rate was (0.72 ng/ml). In luteal phase the mean of progesterone in infected women was (0.56 ng/ml) comparison with control group in which hormone rate was (19.83 ng/ml).Regarding, the level of testosterone, the results showed that the level had been increased during the follicular and luteal phases in infected women compared with control group. In follicular phase the mean of testosterone was (3.44 ng/ml) in comparison with control group which the mean was (0.24 ng/ml). In luteal phase the mean of testosterone was (3.65 ng/ml) in comparison with control group in which the mean was (0.30 ng/ml).Conclusion : The presence of infection with Trichomonas vaginalis, and it's associated with other microorganisms that are detected in the current study and other study previous may indicated a correlation between them. So those patient, constantly in need for a panel of laboratory test including : vaginal pH, and hormonal estimation as these factors may play a role in diagnosis and follow - up of the patients.

The coefficient factor was used to investigate the correlation between malondialdehyde concentration and the studies parameter.there was increase correlation (P<0.05) between malondialdehyde concentration and sperm concentration(r= - 0.86 P<0.05) progressively motile sperm (r= - 0.938), normal sperm morphology percent (r= - 0.90 P<0.05), sperm viability percent (r = - 0.846 P<0.05) and sperm quality index (r = - 0.836 P<0.05), while there was (P<0.05) positive correlation between malondialdehyde concentration and semen volume (r=+0.822 P<0.05), liquefaction time (r = +0.828 P<0.05) and round cells correlation (r= + 0.89 P<0.05).Also the coefficient was used to study the correlation between sperm DNA integrity and other study parameter. The results of this study were showed positive correlation between the percentage of DNA integrity and sperm concentration (r= +0.88 P<0.05), progressively motile sperm (r=+0.78P<0.05), normal sperm morphology (r= +0.86 P<0.05), sperm viability percentage (r=+0.87 P<0.05) and sperm quality index (r= +0.81 P<0.05), while it was noticed in used correlation between sperm DNA integrity and malondialdehyde concentration (r= - 0.681 P<0.05), semen volume (r= - 0.67 P<0.05), liquefaction time (r= - 0.65 P<0.05) and round cells (r= - 0.54 P<0.05). The effect of varicocele grading on sperm and semen parameter, sperm quality index, malondialdehyde concentration and percentage of sperm DNA integrity was studied, the result were showed a significant decrease (P<0.05)of sperm concentration, progressively motile sperm, sperm viability and normal sperm morphology percentage, and a significant increase (P<0.05) of liquefaction time and Round cells concentration for varicocele patients grad1, grade2 and grade3 compared with the fertile persons. and when we are compare between varicocele patient according to type of grade the results were show a significant decrease (P<0.05) of sperm concentration, progressively motile sperm and normal sperm morphology percentage and a significant increase (P<0.05) of liquefaction time for varicocele patients grade2 and grade3 compared to grade1 varicocele patient.So the result showed a significant decrease (P<0.05) of sperm concentration for grade3 varicocele patients compared with the grade2 varicocele patients. The result of this study were showed a significant decrease (P<0.05) in sperm quality index and sperm DNA integrity for grad1, grade2 and grade3 varicocele patients compared to fertile persons. also it was noticed a significant decrease (P<0.05) of sperm quality index and sperm DNA integrity for grade2 and grade3 varicocele patients compared to grade1 varicocele patients but the malondialdehyde concentration according to varicocele grade, the result were showed a significant increase (P<0.05) of malondialdehyde concentration for grade2 and grade3 varicocele patients compared to grade1 varicocele patients and fertile persons. In this study the effect of Varicocelectomy on study parameters was studied and the result were showed a significant increase (P<0.05) of sperm concentration, progressively motile sperm, sperm viability percentage, normal sperm morphology, percent, sperm quality index and sperm DNA integrity and a significant decrease (P<0.05) of liquefaction time and malondialdehyde concentration for Varicocelectomy compared to varicocele patients. The result were showed a significant decrease (P<0.05)of sperm viability percent, normal sperm morphology percent, sperm DNA integrity and sperm quality index and a significant increase (P<0.05) in round cells concentration, liquefaction time and malondialdehyde concentration for Varicocelectomy patients compared to fertile persons.From the result of present study, we are concluded that varicocele has been negatively impact on sperm and semen parameters, malondialdehyde concentration and sperm DNA integrity, and the effect of varicocele is associated with the increasing of varicocele grading, while Varicocelectomy has been positive impact on sperm and semen parameters, malondialdehyde concentration and sperm DNA integrity but this result have not reached to similar state to fertile persons
