Abstract

Context: Human T-cell lymphotropic viruses Type 1&2 (HTLV-1&2) screening test is endemic in someIraq’s provinces. HTLV-1&2 test is not performed in routine screening tests of Iraqi blood donors banks.With my thought it represent essential test to prevent complications the virus in our country and otherneighbour countries in Middle East. The results of the following study do not included all Iraq’s provincesbut only seven provinces (Baghdad, Karbala, Al-Qadisiyyah, Al-Najaf, Al-Muthanna, Al-Basrah, Wasit).Aims: to review prevalence of HTLV-1&2 infections among Iraq’s blood donors. Settings and Design:The study where performed in Iraqi National blood bank in Baghdad city and national companies forblood donation in Karbala and Najaf provinces, the study included 15239 blood donors. Methods andMaterial: ELISA (Murex HTLV 1&2 Ab, USA, LOT: D3101210) 480.T was used for HTLV screeningfor detection antibodies to HTLV-1&2 in the serum of human followed by accurate confirmatory testCMIA (Chemiluminescent microparticle immunoassay) architect plus for confirmatory. Results: The studyincluded 15239 blood donors, thirty nine of him appeared seropositive for HTLV-1&2, and the prevalenceof HTLV-1&2 was appeared in some provinces of Iraq country highly prevalence of HTLV-1&2 were seenin Baghdad 24(61.5%), then Karbala 5(12.8%), Al-Qadisiyyah 4(10.2%), Al-Najaf 2 (5.1%), Al-Muthanna2 (5.1%), Al-Basrah1(2.5%), and Wasit province1 (2.5%) respectively. Conclusions: first study conductedin Iraq in 2015 appeared the prevalence of HTLV-1&2 infections among blood donors only in six provincesand not included all Iraq’s provinces. So another study is requested for determination the distribution ofHTLV-1&2 in all Iraq’s provinces, districts and areas.

Abstract

Rhodotorula genus contains 37 species, only three species have been caused human infections. These threespecies are R. glutinis, R. minuta and R. mucilaginosa. Infection with Rhodotorula is much less commonthan other yeast causes. Nevertheless, the number of infections has clearly increased during the last fewyears. The objective was to occur of Rodotorula mucilaginosa Among Immunocompromised Patients withDifferent InfectionsOne hundred five specimens were collected from immunocompromised patients with (Oculomycosis,Onychomycosis and Otomycosis) who attended Baquba teaching hospital for a period of 14 months.The yeast cultures were monitored using Sabouraud´s dextrose agar (SDA) and identified depended onmacroscopic and microscopic examinations.Cultured Colonies of R. mucilaginosa on Sabouraud´s dextrose agar showed orange to pink in color andare smooth to mucoid colonies. The percentage of R. mucilaginosa was 19.3% (92 out of 150) specimens.According to the findings, it can be concluded that males are most suffering from Rodotorula mucilaginosainfection among Oculomycosis and onychomycosis. Also, it is more prevalent in age group (41-60) years.

Abstract

The current study has been conducted on health human sperm to identify the different types of amino acidsand entire proteins of sperm. Two methods have been applied to characterise of human sperm, firstly extractlysate of sperm, then digest and run it in mass spectrometry, secondly, total sperm lysate was run in SDSpage gel and bands were stained with coomassie, then band was cut and digest to extract of whole aminoacids and also was run in mass spectrometry. Result revealed that sperm have several proteins, which wereinvolved with different binding proteins, soluble proteins, and glycoproteins, transmembrane proteins.Current result was displayed that mass spectrometry can be used to recognise data of proteins of spermand detected types of it. This technique was applied on whole lysate and gel bands of sperm and createddatabase of sperm proteins which can be investigated and consider more interesting for researchers. Thisstudy is concluded that human sperm have important transmembrane, enzymes, glycosylated proteins,glycoproteins and uncharacterised proteins which might be answered many theoretical aspects of biologicaland biochemical sperm migrations before and after fertilization.

Abstract

This study aimed to study the serum measurement of clinical value of type II collagen (CTX-II) in syndromeof polycystic ovary in women and indicter as osteoarthritis disease marker analyzed in future levels witha recent available immune enzyme-linked sorbent assay (ELISA) kit. For increasing sensitivity test, theprotocol was modified. Levels of CTX-II increased significantly as well total protein, while decrease vitaminD and difference in lipid profile were practical between the patients compared with healthy women’s. Theobtained results suggested the monitoring interest of the serum CTX-II for the OA development in patientsof polycystic ovary syndrome in women and the relevance of the analysis of multiple time point for thisbiomarker.

Abstract

Obesity is a medical condition in which excess body fat has accumulated to an extent that it may have anegative effect on health. The current study aimed to study the correlation between resistin and TumorNecrosis Factors-alpha (TNF-?) in Obese Iraqi women. The group of patients contain twenty five womenwith Obesity and apparently thirty healthy women were present as a control group. Estimation of seraresistin and Tumor Necrosis Factors-alpha (TNF-? ) were done by using “enzyme-linked immunosorbentassay” (ELISA). Sera levels of resistin was increase significantly in women with obesity group comparedwith control group (p<0.01). Also the results show positive correlation between Tumor Necrosis Factorsalpha (TNF-? and resistin. In women with obesity, depending on present findings, resistin is implicated inpathogenesis of obesity related with Tumor Necrosis Factors-alpha (TNF-? ) .

Abstract

Heritability of ambulatory blood pressure parameters in western population has been well described, thereis no information on Iraqi population. Therefore, the aim of the present study is to investigate geneticinfluences on intra-individual variation, by performing heritability analysis on an Iraqi population (Anbarprovince).A total of 389 individuals, constituting 93 families were ascertained. Most of the parents included in thestudy were in their 5th and 6th decade of life, and the siblings included in the study were in their 2nd and 3rddecade of life.To define the portion of difference of variables that is due to genetic and non-genetic influences, full sibanalysis was used to estimate heritabilities of blood pressure parameters systolic, diastolic, mean and pulsepressure were estimated during the morning and evening. Heritabilities were estimated in narrow sensewhich were ranged from 28 % for morning systolic blood pressure to 84% for morning systemic pulsepressure.The finding of modest narrow sense heritability indicates the significant role of non-genetic factors affectingmorning systolic, evening systolic and diastolic, and mean blood pressure, whereas the high estimate ofheritability for morning diastolic and pulse pressure indicate the significant effect of genetic.
