Abstract

Introduction: Thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS) is caused by the compressive effect on brachial plexus or subclavian vessels at the thoracic outlet. The symptoms are usually neurologic, arterial or venous or the combination of them. Method: From these patients we chose 70 patients whom underwent surgery (resection of first rib ,with neurolysis with trans axillary approach) and we had the complete data on EMG -NCV and could follow postoperative course and were completely satisfied by the operation and their symptoms was relieved according the quick DASH Questionnaire and thereby the diagnosis of TOS was proved by the result. Result: The electro diagnostic tests of 6 patients (1.5%) were completely normal. The lower trunk symptoms which should be more frequent in TOS was purely present in 7.1%. Fibrillation and fasciculation along the course of ulnar nerve was present in 10% of cases. The middle trunk abnormal motor NCV was the pure pathology in2.9%. Fibrillation and fasciculation along the course of median nerve (abductor policis berevis) 2.4% and for Brachioradialis (radial nerve) NCV was abnormal in 1.8%. Conclusion: To prove this fact, we selected only the patients who were completely satisfied by the operation and their symptoms was relieved according the quick DASH Questionnaire and thereby we were sure that the diagnosis of TOS has been correct. Retrospectively we evaluated the electrodiagnostic findings in these patients.

Abstract

STR’s analysis of DNA from bone samples plays an important role in identifying missing persons. We present a method for DNA extraction from bone samples that involve complete demineralization and digestion of the sample, followed by purification by silica binding. This method, along with the multiple STR typing approach, has also proven highly successful in recovering DNA profiles from bone samples from a wide range of contexts. These methodological steps include bone cutting and grinding, DNA extraction, Re purification in case of highly inhibited samples, quantification, amplification multiplex STR, Data Analysis of the DNA Typing and The guidelines for the preparation of personal reports. the total number of study samples reached 48, whose ages ranged between (14 to 33) years divided into 3 groups, group (1) in which (16) bone samples from the son, group (2) in which (16) blood samples from the father and group (3) It contains (16) blood samples from the mother. Conformity was carried out in the identification tests for persons in the forensic evidence laboratories of the Iraqi Ministry of the Interior, according to the protocols in the Kits used and by forensic experts.

Abstract

Background: The emptied sheep’s ovarian follicles recently used as a container for spermatozoa during cryopreservation, it was found a proper carrier to cryopreserving spermatozoa in vapor-dependent cryopreservation. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of two periods of exposure to liquid nitrogen (LN2)vapor on the parameter of spermatozoa during cryopreservation in this technique. Method: The study was conducted on 30 semen samples from patients with oligozoospermia diagnosed by semen analysis according to the standard criteria of World Health Orgnization (WHO) 2010. Sheep’s ovarian follicles obtained from local slaughterhouse and prepared by slicing the ovaries and evacuating the follicular fluid and oocyte. Each semen sample diluted 1:1 with cryosolution (glycerol 10%) and injected within eight emptied sheep’s ovarian follicles. The first four follicles represent P1; exposed to LN2 vapor for 7.5 minutes and the other four follicles represent P2; exposed to LN2 vapor for 15 minutes before emerged in liquid nitrogen. Sperm progressive motility, total motility, normal morphology and DNA fragmentation index (DFI) were analyzed for all samples pre-freezing and post-thawing. Results: After two months of cryopreservation, sperm progressive motility and total motility significantly (P<0.01) increased post-thawing in P2 as compared with P1, while both of P1 and P2 significantly (P<0.01) decreased as compared with pre-freezing. Normal morphology significantly (P<0.01) decreased post thawing in both P1 and P2 as compared with pre-freezing, while no significantly difference foundbetween P1and P2. DFI significantly (P<0.01) increased post-thawing in P1 and P2 as compared with pre-freezing, while in P2 DFI was significantly lower than in P1. Conclusions: The exposure to liquid nitrogen vapor for 15 minutes in emptied ovarian follicles technique gives a better results than exposure to the vapor for 7.5 minutes regarding sperm progressive motility, total motility and DFI.

Abstract

Somatosensory evoked potential (SSEP) usually done using bipolar surface stimulator of peripheral nerve and recorded by cortical surface or subdermal needle electrodes, in this study we modify an adhesive large surface area, surface stimulator using the same montage and method then compare the result between them. We took nineteen patients of median nerve SSEP, locate and identify the shape of dermatom assigned according to text using large square adhesive surface electrode. The same as the shape of dermatom, this is the cathode electrode, for the anode, a strip has the same length of the cathode with a width of two centimetres placed beneath the cathode, the circular ground band between stimulated and recording electrode. The subjects In this study prepared for routine SSEP study the result obtained of both study compared using statistical method and we found there was a significant different between two method and the modified as higher amplitude using lesser stimulated threshold but not significant different between latency. That’s happened because we increased the surface area of stimulation which means more the motor nerve was stimulated.

Abstract

Background: VEGF gene polymorphisms can induce either increase or inhibition of VEGF secretion, with altered promoter activity. Aim: We investigated the association of the VEGFR-2 and -2578C\A polymorphism in the VEGF gene with Lung cancer risk in Babylon province. Methodology: VEGFR-2 level was measured by Enzyme Linked Immunoabsorbant Assay ELISA and Genotyping of the VEGF-gene variation (-2578A\C) was performed using the amplification refractory mutation system PCR. We investigated the association of VEGF gene variants with different clinicopathological features of lung cancer patients. Results: No significant difference was seen of the VEGFR-2 levels in lung cancer patients when compared with control group (P=092), the allelic frequency of -2578 A\C VEGF gene no difference was seen in patients lung cancer (p=0.652). Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium showed a significant difference cases group (p=0.016), also revealed A allele exhibits a pathological behavior and it appears in over-dominant model (p=0.05), this proves that there is significant association of -2578A\C VEGF gene in lung cancer patients. Conclusion: Our results showed no significant association of the VEGFR-2 in lung cancer patients while showed a significant association of the VEGF -2578C\A polymorphism with LC susceptibility in Babylon province .The VEGF -2578C\A heterozygote significantly increases the risk and can be useful as a predisposing genetic marker.

Abstract

In this article the properties and advantages of NITI alloy were presented with the development of new types of endodontic files and instrumentation techniques. Each new one was designed to solve disadvantages present in older one. NITI files always considered suitable for negotiation of curved canals, this automatically will reduce any possibility of some problems like transportation, ledge formation and zipping within the canal. Cleaning and shaping of the root canal space is the most important to create a sterile area, organisms free. In order to reach this goal (sufficient information of current development of instruments and instrumentation techniques is needed). With the new versions which are rapidly becoming available, the Dentist may find it a little bit difficult to choose the most suitable file and technique for an individual case. Practitioners must always keep in mind that benefits and weaknesses is present in most file systems. In other hand clinical experience, usage safety, handling properties and outcomes of the case, should decide a particular design fate. Conclusion: Endodontic treatment files and techniques are very rapidly developed and this is the most important point,since each new design or technique will supply advantages which improve the endodontic treatment work and prognosis.

Abstract

Toxoplasma gondii is an obligate intracellular protozoan that causes a disease called toxoplasmosis which has the capability to pass its both life cycle parts asexual and sexual in the final host (cats)and also through intermediate vertebrate hosts including humans. Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disorder that there is high blood sugar level over a prolonged period. This research included one hundred and twenty blood samples that collected from diabetic patients after diagnosing them by endocrinologist at the Imamein Kadhimein Medical City during August until the end of December 2016 with age ranging 12-76 years with mean 50.9 ± 13.8. Toxoplasmosis diagnoses was occurred by using Toxo IgG and IgM antibodies immulite torch assay while diabetes diagnosis by fasting blood sugar tests also measuring level of IL-33 in samples was done by sandwich ELISA method that showed a group of diabetic patients infected with toxoplasmosis have the highest level of IL-33. The results showed that a group of diabetic patients have the highest level of glucose in diabetes test (188.31 pg/ml)while a group of diabetic patients infected with toxoplasmosis have the highest level of IgG (106.17 IU/ml)while all samples have seronegative results for Toxo IgMalso the highest level of IL-33 showed ina group of diabetic patients infected with toxoplasmosis (858.84 pg/ml) while a group of diabetic patients not infected with toxoplasmosis have (556.67 pg/ml) and control group have (315.58pg/ml).

Abstract

Gold nanoparticles were synthesis by green method using the soaked orange peels (citrus Sinensis) as reducing and stabilizing agent. The gold nanoparticles were diagnosed using the approved method, including the transmission electron microscope and the visible UV spectroscopy. Thus, the results of the diagnosis showed the formation of spherical particles with a size of 36 nanometers. Their biological effects on the bone marrow cells of albino mice were studied. Male albino mice were used in this study and randomly divided into seven groups. The first group was the control group injected with the physiological solution (Normal Saline) and the other six groups were injected with different doses of the solution of the gold nanoparticles (1, 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10) Mg/kg. The effect of gold nanoparticles on the DNA damage by bone marrow cells was studied using comet assay according to the following criteria: (DNA in Head%, Comet Length, Tail Length, DNA in Tail%, Olive Moment), the results showed a significant decrease (P?0.01) in the rate of DNA in Head%, while it showed a significant increase in Comet Length, Tail Length, DNA in Tail%, Olive Moment compared to the control group and all Doses studied. The effect of gold nanoparticles was directly proportional to the increase in the studied doses. The dose was 10 mg/kg, which was the highest toxicity, followed by the dose of 8 mg/kg, then the rest of the doses was descending.
