Abstract

Background:Hydatid cyst is a disease that is transmitted from the lactating animals that come into contactwith a person, and its danger is to generate hydatid cysts that may put pressure on some vital organs inthe human body. Here comes the role of joint infection with other pathogens such as the hepatitis C virus,especially in the same organs that are infected with the parasite, which may result from these mixed infectionsserious disease complicationsAim of study: The present study aimed to examine the possibility of a relationship between interleukin-8concentration level with the size of Hydatid cyst patients with mixed infection of hydatidosis and hepatitisC virus.Patients and Methods: The current research was run for the period January 2019 to January 2020. Thepatients were referred to AL-Furat al-awsat Hospital , Al-Sadder medical city, Public Health Laboratoryand Al-Hakeem Hospital in Al- Najaf governorate, Iraq. Eighty samples were divided into two groups. Thisfirst group was comprised of 40 patients with hydatidosis, the second group comprised of 40 patients withhydatidosis and hepatitis c virus mixed infection. The patients were aged 10 to 60 years old.Result: A higher interleukin-8 concentration was observed in patients with hydatidosis compared to thehealthy group, as the interleukin-8 concentration was (89.36) While the concentration of interleukin- 8reached in the healthy group (30 .14) ,while A high concentration of interleukin 8 is observed in combinedinfection of hydatidosis and hepatitis C virus compaer with healthy group , As the concentration of interleukin8 in the combined infection of hydatidosis and hepatitis C virus (108.73) while in the healthy group (30.14 ).Conclusion: The presence of a high level of interleukin-8 in mixed-infection patients is higher than insingle-infection patients, which may lead to exacerbation and complications of hydatidosis disease.

Abstract

Background: Hepatic fibrosis is a common pathological result of chronic liver diseases, which is a dynamicprocess of liver decomposition mediated by cellular mediators in response to injury.Objective: The present study aims to evaluate the histopathological features of dog-liver fibrosis and / orcirrhosis.Materials and Methods: 40 liver samples were collected; 12 liver fibrosis suspected animals were performedthe histopathology to determine the main features of canine liver fibrosis.Results: The histopathology revealed chronic hepatitis with liver islands separated by strips of fibroblastsand collagen, moderate numbers of macrophages, lymphocytes and plasma cells. Also in fibrosis betweenchronic hepatitis/cirrhosis had a wide range of severity and inflammation was observed primarily aroundfibrous tissue or was surrounded by fibrous tissue but extended to the liver parenchyma. The histochemicalstudy revealed to a deposition of collagen fibers in the portal, subscapular and interlobular regions.Conclusion: The histopathology revealed a range of lesions vary from mild hepatic degenerative changes tosevere fibrotic features associated with canine hepatic fibrosis and early cirrhosis.

Abstract

Objectives: This review represents a critical and constructive analysis of literature in the content ofgenotoxicity and clastogenicity of Bisphenol A. The review is generated through summary, classification,analysis and comparison of already existing material and researches on field.Methods: Databases as Scopus, PubMed, Medline and Web of Science were used to extract data for thereview. Search terms like “Bisphenol A”, “endocrine disruptors”,”clastogenicity” and “genotoxicity” wereinquired. Out of 350 research articles screened, 60 most relevant studies are included in this review.Conclusion : This review highlights the endocrine disrupting potential of Bisphenol A, thus leading togenotoxic and clastogenic events, especially impacting fragile categories like pregnant women, infants andchildren. BPA induces oxidative stress, inflammatory response, DNA strand break, chromosome aberrationsand epigenetic changes, affecting neuroendocrine and reproductive system, metabolism, immunity, liverfunction, and increases the incidence of thyroid, liver, breast, uterine and ovary cancer.We can conclude that human exposure to BPA, as one of the leading environmental contaminants, representsa major global issue. BPA by its genotoxic and clastogenic potential can be debilitating for human health.Further research on field considering BPA distribution, varying exposure rates, racial disparities and interspecies differences, should be conducted. Avoiding exposure to BPA and finding safer alternatives to refine,reduce or replace BPA in market should remain a priority.

Abstract

Introduction: One of the health problems in Indonesia that has not been resolved is the HIV pandemic orHuman Immunodeficiency Virus or a virus that attacks/infects white blood cells which causes a decrease inhuman immunity. To combat HIV/AIDS, treatment is performed through antiretroviral drugs. But in fact,antiretroviral drugs are often scarce which causes a decrease in the welfare of people with HIV / AIDS inIndonesia.Research Objectives: This study aims to discover and analyze some policies on administering antiretroviraldrugs that are fair for people with HIV/AIDS in Indonesia.Methods: This study uses a qualitative method with a normative juridical approach. The data used aresecondary data consisting of primary and secondary legal materials. The data was collected through aliterature study and analyzed qualitatively.Conclusion: In making policies, the implementation of antiretroviral drugs must be centered on PLWHAand use the PLWHA as policy actors. The policy of delivering ARV drugs that are centered on PLHIVis expected to produce fair policy outputs and then have implications for the high welfare of PLWHA inIndonesia, this is in line with the formation of a policy based on the study of responsive legal theory initiatedby Nonet and Selznick. Responsive legal theory requires that the law that has implications for PLWHA,should always be sensitive to the needs of PLWHA, especially regarding the availability of ARV drugs.
