Abstract

Vitiligo is an acquired idiopathic skin disease characterized by white macules result from the destruction ofmelanocytes. Several cytokines have been implicated in the pathogenesis of vitiligo, keeping this in viewthe current study aimed to evaluate the serum levels of IL-17A and TGF-?1 in 25 patients with generalizedvitiligo and compared them with healthy individuals in order to investigate whether these cytokinesimbalances plays a role in the pathogenesis of this depigmentary disorder. Results of the present studyshowed that the serum level of IL-17A in vitiligo patients was increased significantly (p? 0.05) while theserum level of TGF-?1 was decreased significantly (p? 0.05) as compared with healthy control. Accordingto the gender of patients, males had a slightly non-significant increased (p<0.05) in the level of IL-17A andTGF-?1 as compared with females. Patients with early onset vitiligo had non-significant increased (p<0.05)in the level of IL-17A and TGF-?1 as compared with late onset vitiligo patients. No significant differences(p<0.05) were detected in the levels of IL-17A and TGF-?1 in patients regarding the clinical types of vitiligo,family history and Koebner phenomenon. Patients with active disease had a significant increase (p?0.05) inthe level of IL-17A, though a significant decrease (p?0.05) in the level of TGF-?1 was noticed as comparedwith both patients with stable disease and healthy control groups. Serum levels of both IL-17A and TGF-?1have been shown to be negatively correlated with the disease duration (r=-0.174, p=0.405) and (r=-0.057,p=0.788) respectively

Abstract

The main purpose of the study was to collect a data related to country made and standard firearm from closerange on cotton cloth substrate to determine the range of firing, type of firearm used i.e standard or countrymade firearm as limited data are available for such lethality in india. The range of firing is very difficult toinvestigate by dispersion pattern of Gun Shot Residue in close range firing by country made pistol. Thisstudy was done to overcome that deficiency.Method- This study over a period of 3 years was carried out on live cases brought to ballistics division ofCFSL/CBI/New Delhi. Total No. of 180 samples were collected, from three different close range i.e., 4”, 8”and 12”on cotton cloth substrate. 90 samples were collected by 7.6mm country made pistol and 90 sampleswere collected by 7.65mm standard pistol.Result – Among 180 firing samples during study period, 30 firing has been done from each close range, fromstandard as well as country made pistol. The result showed the large variation in dispersion pattern of GSRfrom 4” range. At 4” distance, from country made pistol, the inner dispersion area of GSR was calculatedi.e. (7-19 cm2 app.), outer dispersion area of GSR was (30-70 cm2 app.) whereas in case of standard pistol,the inner dispersion area of GSR was (10-15 cm2app.), outer dispersion area of GSR was (40-70 cm2 app.) .Conclusions- It is found that large variation in dispersion pattern of GSR pattern has been observed, whenfiring has been done from country made pistol and standard firearm at 4” range. This study must be helpfulin estimation of exact range of firing fired from close range by 7.65mm country made pistol and standardpistol by analyzing the dispersion pattern area of Gun Shot Residue.

Abstract

Aim: The presented study was established to evaluate the impact of formalin (FA) on the blood levels ofsuperoxide dismutase (SOD), lipid profile, total serum protein and serum albumin in female rats. Materialsand methods: The animals were assigned randomly into groups of six; control group, and treated other fivegroups as follow, first group exposed to formalin at 200ppm (F200 group), the second exposed to formalinat 400ppm (F400 group), third group exposed to formalin at 200ppm plus melatonin at 10mg/kg (F200Mgroup), fourth group exposed to formalin at 400ppm plus melatonin at 10mg/kg (F400M group), and thefifth exposed to melatonin at 10mg/kg (M group). Samples of blood from the rats were collected at day one,day and day 30 of the experimental period that was continued for 30 days. Results: Using immune-basedtechniques, the SOD activity, it has been here-resulted in significant (p?0.05) after-formalin-exposuredecreases in the blood samples of female rats from F200 and F400 groups, especially, when comparedwith the control group. The total cholesterol levels revealed significant (p?0.05) increases in the blood ofthe tested animals of the F200 and F400 groups. These increases affected the rates of LDL, VLDL, andtriglycerides in the blood of the studied rat-females of both F200 and F400 groups when compared withthe control animals. Interestingly, low levels of HDL were noticed in the blood of the animals of the F200and F400 when comparisons with control animals. The concentrations of the LDL, HDL, and triglyceridesin the serum of the formalin-exposed females showed significant (p?0.05) low levels when compared withcontrol animals. For day-30 collection, albumin concentrations revealed significant (p?0.05) elevation in theblood of the F200 and F400 animals.. Histological examination revealed that the liver of female rats exposedto 200ppm or 400 ppm of formalin for 30 days have been adversely affected. Whereas, the histologicalexamination of the liver of animals treated with melatonin and formalin were less affected due to formalinexposure. Conclusions: These results demonstrate the formalin high toxic effects on the hepatic tissues canbe overcome by the use of exogenous melatonin.

Abstract

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is considered as an autoimmune disease which influences the joints. It usuallyresults in a warm, enlarged, and painful joints. Stiffness and Pain typically amplify once relaxation.Frequently, the hands and wrist are involved, with similar joints naturally involved on both sides of the body.The syndrome might additionally have an impact on the other parts of the body. Adenosine Deaminase is anenzyme (EC 3.5.4.4) used with the metabolism of purine. It is essential for the analysis of adenosine fromnutrition and the revenue of nucleic acids in soft tissue. Its chief purpose in humans is the immune systemgrowth and preservation. On the other hand, the complete physiological role of ADA is so far not known.This study carried out at Al-Kadima Teaching Hospital, during the period fr6-om September 2014 till theend of October 2015. Patients who have any other disorders conditions are excluded. Subjects acceptingtreatment with medications within 7-9 months. A total of 66 patients with Rheumatoid arthritis wereenrolled in this study: thirty-five of them were newly diagnosed to have Rheumatoid arthritis who receivesno therapy for Rheumatoid arthritis (group A); the remaining thirty-one patients were with Rheumatoidarthritis who receive by methotrexate 500 mg for 7-9 months as the (group B). Twenty-six healthy subjects,as controls(group C ). The results show a significant elevation in the ADA activity in group A and group B.The study concluded that the level of ADA was higher in Iraqi RA patients than in healthy control subjects

Abstract

Background : Bacteria are prokaryotic which causes a wide range of diseases in human and animals as well,thus, early diagnosis of bacterial infection is an important step for their management. The vast majority ofbacteria are harmless to human and some strains are even beneficial. However, some strains cause infectionsincluding pneumonia, meningitis and urinary tract infection…etc. The present study aimed to describe anddetermine the prevalence rate of pathogenic bacteria in different clinical samples from Duhok city,Kurdistan region of Iraq, as there are no available data of bacterial infections.Methods: Totally, 200 adult patients enrolled in the present study during July 2017-July 2018. We collecteddifferent clinical specimens including (SFA, Bronchial Lavage, catheter, cerebrospinal fluid, body fluids,blood, semen, stool pus, urine, sputum and ear swabs). Standard microbiological techniques used forisolation and identification. All samples collected before antibiotic uses by specialized physician.Results: The result reported that forty-six samples (23%) obtained from male and one hundred fifty-foursamples (77%) obtained from females. A high diversity of pathogens was found but Staphylococcus aureusrecorded the highest infection rate by (33.3%) which observed in 32 urine samples by and followed by E.coli (27.3%) and Coagulase-Negative Staphylococci (25.3%), which observed in 36 and 29 urine samples,respectively. Alternatively, Klebsiella, Streptococcus, Enterobacteriaceae and Pseudomonas aeruginosawere founded in few samples. Conclusion: The highest diversity of potential pathogens observed in urine samples was E.coi. Over all,Staphlococcus aureus was predominant and recorded the highest prevalence rate by (33.3%) in 50 sampleswhich followed by E. coli recorded in 41 samples (27.3%) and Coagulase-Negative Staphylococci observedin 38 samples (25.3%).
