Abstract

The estimation of post-mortem interval (PMI) procedures seem to subjectivity in assessment and lesssensitivity and specificity. Biochemical determination of trace elements from closed-system samples,such as vitreous humour (VH) and synovial fluid (SF) is an alternative laboratory investigation for PMIestimation. The inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) provides more rapid, precise andsensitive analysis of elements samples. However, determination of electrolytes and trace elements in VHand SF by ICP-MS, and application for PMI has not been intensively investigated. In this study, VH andSF from twenty adult domesticated pig carcasses were collected at 1, 3, 6, 12, 24, 36, and 48-hour afterdeath. Samples were analysed for total protein concentration, Ca, Cu, Fe, K and, Na using ICP-MS. Theresults showed that the protein concentration in VH was significantly increased in time dependent manner,but not for SF. The level of K and Fe in both VH and SF increased in time dependent manner, with a goodcorrelation between both sample sources. The calcium concentration of both VH and SF increased in timedependent manner, but there was no correlation between both sample sources. Sodium was significantlyreduced at 36-48 h, with a correlation between both sample sources. However, the copper level in VH wasincreased at 36-48 h but reduced in SF. In conclusion, this study showed for the first time that multiple traceelements and electrolytes could be detected, using the ICP-MS, in both of VH and SF simultaneously andadditionally its correlation.

Abstract

The advances in cataract surgery are aimed at finding a surgical method capable of providing accurate andpredictable results in terms of outcome. Surgically Induced Astigmatism (SIA) is one of the causes of the poorquality of vision post-operatively because of the blurring of images. SIA in turn, depends on the type, lengthand the position of the incision.so this study to compare the mean keratometeric reading preoperative andone month postoperative in phacoemulsification versus manual small-incision cataract surgery and to findwhich produce less surgically induced astigmatism. This was a prospective, observational, cohort study onpatient with cataract carried out from April 2018 to September 2018. This study conducted on (206) patientsattending to ophthalmic department in Najaf. The cases were divided into two groups. Each group had 103patients. One group had undergone phacoemulsification and the other group had undergone superior scleraltunnel incision and follow up after one month to find which procedure less surgically induced astigmatism.Preoperative and postoperative keratometeric was performed after one month. According to this study meankeratometeric reading in the Phaco group preoperative k1= 43. 80, k 2= 44.69 and postoperative k1 =43.71and K2 =44.62.While Mean keratometeric reading in the SSTI group preoperative k1=44.00, K2 =45.02 and postoperative k1 =43.91 and K2= 45.41.Mean astigmatism at one month postoperative in patient undergoing Phaco was 1.3 ±0.9 and undergoingSSTI was 1.3± 0.7, there was no statistical difference in astigmatism at one month postoperative (P=0.5).This study reveals that superior approach in PHACO and MSICS produced similar astigmatic outcome,there is no significant difference in the mean surgically induced astigmatism in both types of surgery

Abstract

This research was to explore improvements in lipid profile, TSH, T3, T4 and prolactin during threestage of the progress. Pregnancy leads to development in both hormones and biochemistries of thematernal blood. The study involved a control group of 20 non-pregnant women and 30 pregnant and.Automatic hormone analyzer1 and biochemistry automatic analyzer measured hormones, with thelipid profile2. Although T3, T4, TC and TG showed no significant increases in first (p? 0.05) comparedwith the control group, TC and TG increased significantly in the second phase and third stage of pregnancytrimesters and T3 and T4 significantly in the third phase of pregnancy quarter (p ?0.05) compared with thecontrol team (p ?0.05). The results demonstrate a significant increase in prolactin in three stage of pregnancy(p?0.05). No significant increase (p ? 0.05) in comparison with control groups was shown in LDL-C andHDL -C over all phases of the prolactin. Increased prolactin, thyroid hormones and the rise in lipid fractionsfollow normal pregnancy.

Abstract

The seasonal influenza virus has infected 5-15% of the human population every year, resulting in 250,000-500,000 deaths worldwide. The seasonal influenza epidemic that occurs every year is caused by thecontinuous evolution of seasonal influenza viruses, which allows them to avoid body immunity due toprevious infection or vaccination, and the ability of these viruses that can be transmitted efficiently fromhuman to human through breathing, direct contact, and through items that have been touched by sufferersof seasonal influenza. Vaccination is the most effective method for controlling the infection of seasonalinfluenza and the most important strategy for pandemic prevention and control. The ideal vaccine mustimprove the humoral and cellular immune response to reduce morbidity and mortality. This study wasconducted to determine the role of trivalent influenza vaccination against the response of ferret antibodiesby testing IgG levels and IL-4 levels. IgG is an antibody formed in response to vaccination, whereas IL-4is a cytokine that stimulates B cells to differentiate into plasma cells and produce antibodies. The methodof this study is an experimental laboratory. Twenty five ferrets separated into 5 group, control, trivalentvaccine dose 3.8 µg, dose 7.5 µg, dose 15 µg, and dose 30 µg. Ferrets were vaccinated with trivalentvaccine, intramuscular, 3 weeks later, that were challenge by H1N1, H3N2 and by influenza H1, H3 dan B(wild subtype) virus. On day 35th serum was taken and examined for IgG and IL-4. The level of IgG andIL-4 was measured by Elisa. We used SPSS 23 for data analysis. From the results of the research conductedenhancement in specific levels of IgG was obtained against H1 and H3 antigen at dose of 3.8 ?g and 7.5 ?g.There is no change in specific levels of IgG against By antigen. There is no change in IL-4 levels. Therefore,we conclude that IgG and IL-4 values can be used as biomarkers in testing influenza vaccines.
