Abstract

Background: Sporadic, familial and hereditary kinds account for approximately (70-75%), (10-15%) and(five-10%) of all breast cancers respectively. Although numerous chance factors predispose to hereditarybreast cancer, the maximum mighty is mutations within the breast cancer susceptibility genes, BRCA1.Animportant example for tumor suppressor genes are BRCA1 .Material and methods:We examined the frequency of the BRCA1 Exon 2 in 80Iraqi breast cancer (BC)patients, and 60 controls and then the previously genotyped variants in ages between 25 to 45 and also 45 to70,who attended the Oncology Hospital in the City of Medicine during the period from June 2018 to April2019, The products of PCR from amplification of BRCA gene analyzed by PCR-sequencing method.Result: Our study refer to the genotyping of BRCA1 that distributed to ( GG and TT genotyping while TGequal zero.). A significant change was observed in the comparison between the newly diagnosis group andthe control group. T allele was associated with 3.0 fold higher risk for cancer than the G allele (OR=2.38;p=0.041). In BRCA-1 Polymorphism, the odd ratio for the mutant GG genotype was 2.12 with p=0.0141indicating that Patients with an allele GG genotype a higher risk factor of newly diagnosis group comparedto patients who carry allele TT genotype and control group. Also BRCA have a positive correlation with ageand BMI in newly and treatment group also with some biomarkers.Conclusion:SNP variants and different genotypes of BRCA1 have important roles in the development ofcancer. Their application on such patients would discriminate those with high susceptibility to DNA damagefrom those with low susceptibility. This is specially applied for the GG and TT variants of BRAC1 Exon 2.

Abstract

In Indonesia, the largest number of malaria cases was contributed to by Eastern Indonesia. The study aimedto analyze the predictors of malaria incidence in rural Eastern Indonesia. This study analyzes the 2018Indonesia Basic Health Survey data. In the final stage binary logistic regression was used to determinethe incidence of malaria incidence in 86,382 respondents. Variables analyzed included malaria incidence,regional/province, age, gender, educational level, work type, marital status, wealth status, and healthinsurance. The analysis found that people who lived in rural Maluku and rural North Maluku had a lowerrisk of experiencing malaria than those who lived in rural areas of East Nusa Tenggara. People in ruralWest Papua and rural Papua have a higher risk than those who live in rural East Nusa Tenggara. Men were1.107 times more likely than women to have malaria incidence.People with primary school education were1.237 times more likely to develop malaria than those without education. People with a college educationwere 1.440 times more likely to develop malaria than those without education. People who have a wealth ofpoorer status are 0.804 times more likely to have malaria than those who are poorest. People who have therichest wealth status are 0.851 times more likely to have malaria than those who are the poorest. There were4 variables that have proven to be significant as predictors of incidence in rural Eastern Indonesia, namelyregional/province, gender, education, and wealth.

Abstract

Printing industry uses a lot of raw materials that contain benzene in the production process. Exposure tobenzene can cause haematological effects that affect the production of blood cells. The purpose of thisstudy was to determine the relationship between benzene concentrations with erythrocytes, hemoglobin, andhealth complaints among workers in Surabaya Printing Industry. This research was conducted in PrintingX Surabaya. This research is observational, quantitative approach, and cross-sectional. The respondents inthis study were 19 people. The variables studied were the concentration of benzene in the air, erythrocytes,hemoglobin, and health complaints among workers at Printing X Surabaya. Data analysis using Spearmanrank correlation test. Measurement of the concentration of benzene in the air exceeds the Threshold LimitValue. There were 5 respondents had erythrocyte level above the normal and 1 respondent had hemoglobinlevel below the normal. There was a quite significant and positive relationship between the concentrationof benzene in the air and erythrocytes (p=0.033). But there was no significant relationship between theconcentration of benzene in the air and hemoglobin (p=0.158). Health complaints experienced by workersin Printing X Surabaya included coughing, headaches, and shortness of breath. There is a fairly strongrelationship between benzene concentrations and erythrocytes but there is no relationship between benzeneconcentration and hemoglobin.

Abstract

Objective: To analyze mRNA expression of PITX3 gene in congenital cataract caused by rubella virusinfectionMethods: Patients under the age of 18 who were diagnosed with congenital cataracts, were tested for antirubella antibodies, toxoplasma and cytomegalovirus and then underwent cataract surgery, and lens capsuleand lens mass samples were taken. Samples taken will be examined for mutation and expression of thePITX3 mRNA gene.Results: 15 eye samples were included in the study. there was no relationship with rubella infection withPITX-3 gene mRNA expression in the capsule sample and lens mass (p> 0.05). However, in terms ofaverage PITX-3 mRNA gene expression was found to be higher in rubella infection compared to non-rubellainfection. Based on the examination site, there was no significant difference in expression of PITX-3 mRNAgene between the lens capsule sample and the lens mass (p> 0.05). Although there was no statisticallysignificant difference, in terms of the average, the PITX-3 Gen mRNA expression was found to be higher inthe lens capsule compared to the lens mass.Conclusions: Rubella virus infection was the most common cause in the sample, which indicated the needfor prevention of rubella infection in pregnant women to reduce the adverse effects of rubella virus infection.PITX3 gene mRNA expression was higher in the Rubella infection group, indicating the possible role of thePITX3 gene in the pathogenesis of congenital cataracts due to rubella virus infection. The average mRNAexpression of the PITX3 gene is higher in the lens capsule compared to the lens mass although it does notsignificantly indicate the important role of the gene in the process of regulating epithelial cells and lensequatorials.

Abstract

Toxoplasma gondii (T.gondii) is an obligate intracellular protozoon which infects both human and animals.T. gondii parasitize in different organs even in testes and it was isolated from semen. The level of testosteronein the serum was evaluated for men with chronic toxoplasmosis.One hundred twenty-one blood samples were collected from apparently healthy men with different agegroups they were attending the teaching hospital in Al-Diwaniyah province. Three milliliters of blood wasdrawn from each man, and then sera were separated by centrifugation. Anti-Toxoplasma IgG antibody wasdetected. Same numbers of positive and negative sera were included in cases and controls groups respectively,and then the quantitative determination of testosterone was analyzed in the serum of both groups.Thirty eight (31.4%) out of 121 examined serum samples were given positive results for T.gondii IgGantibodies. The concentration of testosterone, in case group was relatively more than in the control groupwith no statistical differences (p>0.05). According to age, the comparison of testosterone in two groupsappeared that testosterone level in 15-29 age in case group was with significant differences (P<0.05).From the current study we concluded that the infection with T.gondii can affect the serum testosterone levelin men.
