Abstract

A total 248 clinical samples of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) were collected from meningitis patients, for theperiod of July to October 2018 from the Child Protection Teaching Hospital in the Medical City Compoundin Baghdad. All isolates were identification depending on macroscopic, microscopic, biochemical testsand definite with Vitek-2 compact system. The results showed a growth in 42 samples. Sixteen isolates ofStaphylococcus spp. were obtained from samples. The number (percentage) of isolates according to speciesas follow: 7/16) 44%) of S. epidermidis, 3/16 (19%) of S. hominis, 3/16) 19%) of S. haemolyticus, 2/16(12%) of S. aureus, 1/16 (6%) of S.warneri. These isolates were tested for ability to biofilm formation byusing Luria Broth and Tryptone Soya Broth (TSB) supplemented with 0.25% and 2% glucose. The abilityof the isolates to form biofilm with Luria Broth, for S.epidermidis, S. aureus, S. haemolyticus, S.hominis andS. warneri were 7/7 (100%), 1/2 (50%), 2/3 (66.66%), 1/3 (33.33%),1/1 (100%) respectively not formingbiofilm.As for using a TSB supplemented with 0.25% glucose, S.epidermidis, S. aureus, S. haemolyticusand S.hominis were 6/7 (85.71%), 2/2 (100%), 2/3 (66.66%) and 3/3 (100%) respectively were weaklybiofilm formed and when using TSB supplemented with 2% glucose, showed that all Staphylococcus spp.(100%) were positive for the test..The study showed the effect of minimum inhibition concentration(8 ?g/mL) and minimum bactericidal concentrationand (16?g/mL) of Erythromycin on biofilm of Staphylococcusspp. Staphylococcus spp. isolated from CSF showed weak ability to biofilm formation and depending on thehost content of sugars . This study showed also weak biofilm forming of Staphylococcus spp. was resistenceto erythromosin.

Abstract

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a significant health problem affecting women during the reproductiveage and characterized by hormonal disturbance resulting in irregular menstrual periods and infertility.Adiponectin is a protein produced by adipocytes and involved in glucose and lipid metabolism. This studyincluded the evaluation of two doses of omega-3 (300 and 600mg/day for 14 weeks). Age, body massindex (BMI), fasting blood glucose level, homeostatic model assessment (HOMA), lipid profile, luteinizinghormone (LH), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), prolactin, estrogen and HMW adiponectin levels wereevaluated. Our data showed no significant differences between control group and treatment groups in BMI,age, sex hormones, fasting blood glucose, and HOMA levels. However, the level of HMW adiponectin wassignificantly higher in women treated with 600mg/day for 14 weeks (p < 0.0001) but not 300mg / day ofOmega-3 fatty acids for the same period.

Abstract

Obesity in children is attended by increased circulating leptin concentrations. Girls have higher leptinConcentrations than boys. IL-6 levels related positively with BMI and percent fat mass (PFM).The Objective: Was to detect the serum IL-6 and levels of leptin among girls and boys as obese and otherbiochemical parameters related with obesity. Methodology: This study involved 60 children were classifiedinto 2 groups; 30 obese ones (fifteen girls and boys fifteen) and 30 control (fifteen girls and fifteen boys)with years of seven- fifteen old who attended to the Obesity Research and Treatment Unit/ Al kindy MedicalCollege, during the period January 2017 – July 2017. A clinical examination and diagnosis were done foreach patient by the consultant medical staff and the biochemical laboratory examination results (FBS, bloodurea, serum creatinine, lipid profile, serum GOT, serum GPT, SCa and uric acid) were as a routine work.They compared with 30 healthy children with approximate age with patients. The sera were assessed forIL-6 and leptin by an ELISA kit. Results: Showed no significant differences among obese children (boysand girls) except the GPT and GOT were both higher significantly (P<0.05) in male (42.46±34.27 and33.3±13.6) than in girls (53.6 ±75.1 and 29.9±14.1). Whereas, obese girls revealed a significant increasingin (STRIG 120.3±26.7 P?0.01, SLDL 89.3±25.5 P?0.05, GOT 33.1±13.6 P?0.01, GPT 29.9±14.1 P?0.01and LIPTIN 2758.4±539.1 P?0.001) in comparison to the control girls. Similarly, for boys highly significantincreasing appeared in (SLDL 90.92±18.1, GOT 42.46±34.27, GPT 53.6±75.1 and LIPTIN 2883.93±512.7P?0.001), as well as in STRIG .69±.13 P?0.05 then normal boys. Inversely, it has been shown that (BURIA26.7±5.3 P?0.05, SCREAT .69±.13 P?0.01 and SVLDL 20.15±6.3 P?0.01) were decreased significantly.In boys IL-6 showed significant positive correlation with BMI, while leptin revealed strong associated waswith IL-6 Conclusion: Obesity associated with elevated blood leptin and IL-6 levels. Leptin and IL-6 playkeys role as a biomarker for childhood obesity, and can help in the prediction of get weight in obese childrenas well as its important interrelationship with other parameters.

Abstract

The objective of this research study whether nanoparticles of gold (Au NP) and nanoparticles silver (Ag NP)have an effect on the yield of DNA from Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) in this experiment when it wasextracted DNA from MTB using gold and silver nanoparticles at different concentrations (l0?l, 50?l and100?l) then showed a significant impact on the yield of DNA, especially gold nanoparticles compared withDNA extracted without any of the nanoparticles.by Using a graph obtained from the REALTIME qPCR,which became very clear when the control sample (MTB without any nanoparticles) showed a high value forthe Ct (cycle threshold), which meant that low quantities of DNA. While samples containing nanoparticleswere low in Ct which meant a high yield of DNA was shown. Ct values also decreased when the concentrationof nanoparticles increased, eventually we conclude from the above experiment that nanoparticles showedhigh yield of MTB DNA. These results are likely due the interaction of the nanoparticles utilized with thecell wall and cell membrane of bacterium, which has facilitated the yield of DNA. Further refinement can beto the above said method and the nanoparticles could possibly use as an effective component of Nucleic acidextraction kits for molecular diagnosis and research so that a superior yield is obtaine.

Abstract

Background: Toxoplasmosis is regarded as one of the most important global life-threatening diseases inimmune-compromised people. The intracellular protozoon Toxoplasma gondii is the causative pathogen oftoxoplasmosis. Aim of this study is to investigate the possible association between T. gondii infection andbreast cancer (BC) in Iraqi women, also to assess the effect of T. gondii on interleukin 10 (IL-10) of theimmune response. By ELISA method, blood samples from 81 women with breast cancer and 60 apparentlyhealthy women have been examined for presence of anti-toxoplasma antibodies, also the levels of serumIL-10 were estimated in these subjects. Results showed that women with BC had the highest prevalencerate of toxoplasmosis. The anti- T.gondii antibodies was 38.27% for IgG and 4.93% for IgM, while inthe control group it was 26.66% and 0.0% respectively, with no significant difference for IgG (P =0.148)and IgM (P = 0.081). A highly significant difference was found in the level of IL-10 between BC womenwith toxoplasmosis (10.24%) and BC women without toxoplasmosis (3.6%). These findings suggest thatincidence rate of T. gondii infection is higher in breast cancer women and higher level of IL-10 than theircross-matched control subjects. Therefore, we recommend the inclusion of a screening test for toxoplasmosisand the level of IL-10 in BC patients as in their routine workup.
