Abstract

This study was performed in the ministry of health- Specialized Center for Endocrinology and Diabetes in Baghdad. Measurement of some biochemical parameters in serum of 93 patients with growth retardation divided into two groups: group-1 (G1) control group without diabetes, and group-2 (G2) with diabetes. The results showed that celiac disease reduces weight and consequently body mass index. The Anti-tissue and Anti-Gliadin IgA increase significantly (p˂0.01) in G2 compared with G1, were the Anti-tissue IgA titer reached 6.88 and 65.30 U/ml and Anti-Gliadin IgA titer reached 7.69 and 72.29 U/ml in G1 and G2 respectively. In addition, the results express positive linear relationship (p ˂ 0.01) among glucose level with Anti-tissue and Anti-Gliadin IgA in G2, using the regression equation of Anti-tissue and Anti-Gliadin y=4.327+0.199 (S. glucose) and y=6.027+0.102 (S. glucose) respectively.

Abstract

Background: In Iraqi children with type 1 diabetes mellitus, glycemic control levels and risk factors for uncontrolled hyperglycemia are unknown. The aim of the study to assess the factors that increase the risk of uncontrolled hyperglycemia in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes mellitus, and identify levels of glycemic control in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes mellitus.Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out from September 21 2020 until the end of May 2021 to identify levels of glycemic control and assess the risk factors of uncontrolled hyperglycemia in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes mellitus, for the study sample which was 209 type 1 diabetics, selected randomly from the visitors of a Faiha Specialized Diabetes, Endocrine, and Metabolism Center (FDEMC). The American Diabetes Association assigned target HbA1c levels to patients based on their age groups. Comparison has been made of well-controlled patients and uncontrolled hyperglycemia patients. To assess each risk factor’s role in uncontrolled type 1 diabetes hyperglycemia, the Odds Ratios were calculated.Results: Only 17.2% of children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes mellitus were well-controlled diabetes. Better glycemic control was related to age < 6 years, BMI, and duration of type 1 diabetes <5 years. Glycemic control was not affected by gender, residence, socio-economic status. Conclusion: Type 1 diabetes mellitus glycemic control among children and adolescents in Al-Basra/southern Iraq varies widely, risking microvascular complications. In well-control type 1 diabetes mellitus patients, females were higher than males and in the age group (1-6) years, higher than the other age groups. While in uncontrolled patients with type 1 diabetes, about (57.2%) had an episode of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). The major risk factors for uncontrolled hyperglycemia are excessive sweet intake, fast food, and irregular meals

Abstract

Objectives: This studywas carried out to evaluate the effect of alcohol present in mouthwash on the Ni and Ti ions release from ordinary andblue NiTiarchwire.Materials and Methods: Sixty specimens of 2cm length from 0.017×0.025 inch maxillary Flexy and Blue Flexy NiTi archwire (30 per each archwires) were immersed in 15 ml. distilled water, alcoholic and alcohol-free Corsodyl mouthwashes (10 per immersing media for each archwire) for one and half hour. After that, Ni and Ti ions released in mouthwashes and distilled waterwere measured using atomic absorption spectrophotometer. Unpaired sample t-test and one way ANOVA test were used for comparison between the archwire types and among different immersion media.Results: Regarding Ni ion, the release of this ion washigher significantly in distilled water followed by alcohol-free Chlorhexidine while the least amount released in alcoholic Chlorhexidine. For Ti ion, the higher amount of Ti ion was released significantly from alcoholic Chlorhexidine followed by alcoholfree Chlorhexidine and the least amount was released in distilled waterin both types of archwires.Both ions were released significantly more from conventional NiTi archwire in all mouthwashes.Conclusions: Ions released from the tested archwires appear to be low with blue NiTi archwire. Ni ion was released more with alcohol-free mouthwash and just the opposite forTiion.

Abstract

Toxoplasma gondii is an obligate apicomplexan intracellular protozoan parasite and considered the most common global parasite which infects a wide range of warm-blooded animals and is the etiological agent of one of the most common parasitic infections in humans. Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women worldwide; nearly 1.7 million new cases were diagnosed in 2012, making it the second most common type of cancer. The main objective of the present study was to investigate the seroprevalence of the anti-Toxoplasma gondii IgG antibodies in Iraqi breast cancer patients and to clarify the role of soluble programmed death-1 (sPD-1) and (sPD-L1) in Iraqi Iraqi breast cancer patients with toxoplasmosis. Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) was used to detect anti- T. gondii IgG antibodies in the sera of 108 patients with breast cancer and 50 apparently healthy controls. The results showed that 26(26%) samples of sera patients have been founded breast cancer with toxoplasmosis, 80(74%) samples have breast cancer, 10(20%) cases have control toxoplasmosis (those patients were had toxoplasmosis but showing no symptoms) and 40 (80%) cases samples were considered as a control group without any infections. Sera (sPD-1 and sPDL-1) levels were determined by ELISA using a quantitative sandwich enzyme immunoassay technique. The results showed that levels of sPD-1 and sPDL-1 levels were significantly higher in patients group than healthy subjects (P<0.01).

Abstract

Background: Non communicable diseases such as cardiovascular disease, cancers, diabetes, and respiratory diseases are the leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. They share risk factors such as unhealthy diet, physical inactivity, smoking, and harmful alcohol use. The share of these risk factors raises the probability of developing non-communicable diseases. The aim of study to assess non communicable diseases risk factors in Al-Basrah province during 2020-2021. Methods: A cross sectional study was implemented among 250 respondents aged from 18 years and above according to random sampling method. Data was collected according to face -face interviews with those attended to different primary health care centers in Al-Basrah province from September 2020 to February 2021.Results: The study found 134(53.6%) respondents suffering from at least one of selected non communicable diseases due to higher increase in behavioral risk factors. The proportion of participants with unhealthy diet was 211(84.4%) while for overall salt intake was 207 (82.8%). the prevalence of a currently smoker was 60 (24%) among participants and higher in males than females while for a currently alcohol consumption the prevalence was 1 (0. 4%).the prevalence of physical inactivity was 176 (70.4%) and this percentage higher among females. The prevalence of overweight and obesity (BMI>25 kg/m2) was 35.6% and 38% and this proportion was higher among females than males.Conclusion: Non communicable diseases risk factors were alarming increases among population of Al-Basrah and this increase due to social transition and eating habits without any affective programs for prevention of these risk factors and control of non-communicable diseases.

Abstract

This research is aimed to eradicate the biofilm formed by bacteria causing wound infection through using proteinase K enzyme. For this purpose six different concentrations of proteinase K were used for the degradation of biofilm produced by Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas areuginosa. These two species are the most common abundant bacteria causing infection by biofilm. Each of the concentrations was kept in contact with the pathogenic bacteria for 1, 2 and three hours. After 3 hours of incubation period the concentration (4 µg /ml) resulted in the highest eradication ability against S. aureus biofilm, while the same concentration was no significant in the eradication of Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilm.

Abstract

The ligands were prepared by condensing aldehydes with aromatic amines, then they were held together with Ruthenium element Ru (III) and gold Au (III). Spectroscopic studies were conducted on them and demonstrated that the gold complex was a good conductor opposite to the ruthenium complex depending on its molar conductivity value. The complex was described by measuring the spectrum of FT. IR (C. MASS JV-VISIBLE and C.H.N). From spectroscopic data, the octahedral geometry of the ruthenium and Square Berner complex has been proposed for the gold ligands nodes. Furthermore, ligands and complexes have been selected for the activity of the methicillin-resistant golden cluster bacterium and the study of gene expression, i.e., the impact of ingested substances on RNA bacteria (MAR).

Abstract

Tannins, as secondary metabolism of plant products, have several beneficial properties, such as antioxidant, antibacterial, and antifungal capabilities. These features have been used by the industry to improve animal performance.Twenty-eight healthy local male rabbits were weighted (average 1382.7 g) the animals were divided regularly and equally into four groups, which contained control (fed basal diet), Mycotoxin group (fed contaminated diet), the third group was fed mycotoxinsdiets plus giving orally tannin extract (125 mg/ml), and the fourth treatment was given mycotoxinsdiets plus giving orally tannin extract (250 mg/ml).The results demonstrated that tannin extracts, both concentrations of either 125 or 250 mg/ml, caused considerable variations (p≤0.01) in weight growth when compared to the control or the mycotoxin group. The body weight of the groups, however, was unaffected by these concentrations. Furthermore, using these extracts on mycotoxin diets caused a change in the feed conversion ratio and feed intake among rabbit groups, with the tannin groups showing lower values than the others.On the other hand, when compared both groups, the mycotoxin and low dose of the tannin, with a high concentration of tannin extract, 250 mg/ml, revealed significant values in liver enzymes (ALT and AST). Additionally, the same treatment (250 mg/ml) significantly reduced creatinine and urea levels as compared to other groups.In conclusion, a high concentration of tannin extract, from black tea, showed beneficial effects on the productive trials, the biochemical properties in male rabbits that fed contaminated mycotoxin diets.

Abstract

Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the load deflection properties of new niobium-based beta titanium archwire (Gummetal) in comparison with superelasticnickel titanium (SE-NiTi) and copper NiTinickel titanium (Cu-NiTi) archwires. Methods and Material: Gummetal, superelasticNiTiand copper NiTiarchwire segments of 0.014-inch diameter were examined by three point bending test, using Instron testing machine with 10 Newton (N) load cell. Wire segments were tested at 2 and 4 mmdeflections, and at a temperature of 37±1ᵒC. Oneway analysis of variancewas used to compare the means of the groups at a significance of p ˂ 0.05.Results: At 2 mm deflection, the maximum force values and unloading forces of Gummetalwere significantly higher than those of the control (SE-NiTi and Cu-NiTi) archwires. At 4 mm deflection, there was no significant difference between the maximum force values of Gummetal and SENiTiarchwires, however they were significantly higher than those of Cu-NiTiarchwire. Unloading forces of Gummetalarchwire at 4 mmdeflection were initially significantly higher, then became significantly lower than the control wires at 1 mm unloading deflection point.Conclusions: The present study showed that Gummetalarchwirewas less efficient in providing continuous forcesin comparison with SE-NiTi and Cu-NiTiarchwires.Gummetalarchwire cannot be considered superelastic, and its use in the alignment phase may better be limited to mild crowding cases.
