Abstract

Background: Both creatine kinase (CK) and/or lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) mutually are elevatedsignificantly in many tumors. This study hypothesizes that LDH was evaluated as a prognostic factor forsurvival time in patients with terminal cancer (PTC). Additionally, CK considered as a valuable in assessingprognosis of advanced cancer patients. This study aimed to estimate the change in the CK/LDH levelsin patients with different types of cancer comparing with the controls, and to investigate their prognosticsignificance for survival time termination in PTC.Methodology: The study was performed at Cancer Central Research Clinic in Baghdad. We quantitated CK/LDH using the colorimetric method in sixty PTC, and twenty age/sex-matched healthy adults.Results: Serum values of CK/LDH were significantly increased in PTC compared to the controls (p<0.001).There was a weak non-significant correlation between CKLDH in PTC and control. There was a nonsignificantcorrelation of CK to LDH levels in different cancer types, except in patients with lymphaticcancer.Conclusion: In agreement with our hypothesis, serum levels of CK/LDH were significantly increased as thepatients approached death.

Abstract

In this study, Uranium (238U), Thorium (232Th), Radium (226Ra) and Potassium (40K) activity concentrationswere measured in 34 samples of biscuit, pastry, dessert, cakes and nestles manufactured in Turkey, Ukraine,Poland, Spain, France, Russia, Turkmenistan, Iran, Jordan, Algeria, India, Morocco, Kingdom of SaudiArabia, Emirates, in addition to locally produced biscuit sample manufactured in Iraq using gamma-rayspectrometry system. The average activity concentrations were 69.09±24.89 Bq/kg for 238U, 26.75±11.13Bq/kg for 232Th, 4.86±1.16 Bq/kg for 226Ra and 178.84±58.39 Bq/kg for 40K. The effective doses arisingfrom ingestion of naturally occurring radioactive materials in the investigated food samples ranged from0.068±0.02 mSv/y for adults (age > 17 y) to 0.191±0.05 mSv/y for children (age 1–2 y), with a mean valueof 0.12 mSv/y. It was found that the estimated potential radiation doses for investigated population groupswere below the dose constraint of 0.3 mSv/y. The corresponding average radiation risk for all populationgroups (6×10-6 per year) was found to be significantly lower than that considered acceptable in the relevantInternational Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) safety standards (10-5 per year). The results presented incurrent study confirm that the potential radiation doses and radiological hazards associated with intake ofthe natural radionuclides in the imported and locally produced food species is acceptable and well withinpermissible limits. Hence, the imported and locally produced food species investigated in this study wereconsidered safe for human consumption with respect to radiological hazards.

Abstract

Introduction: Liver cirrhosis is a condition in which the liver does not function properly due to long-termdamage which is characterized by the replacement of normal liver tissue by scar tissue.Patients and Methods: Cross-sectional study to a group of patients with liver cirrhosis. The data collectionwas done between September 25 to November 2020 at the GI and Liver Center in Baghdad Medical City.Convenient sample were chosen and each one was examined individually by a questionnaire designed forthis purpose. Body wight and height was measured, body mass index (BMI) was calculated for each one ofthem.Results: The mean BMI for both genders were within normal range (25±4.86), it was higher in males(25.8±4.56) than in females (22.79±5.11). Underweight was observed in 4 cases (6.7%), Normal BMI wasrecorded in 25 (41%) of cases, overweight was seen in 20 (33.3%) of patients and 15% was obese while onlytwo patients were extremely obese (3.3%), there was no significant difference for BMI between genders.Mean energy intake was 1575.32±381.3 which had a high significant difference compared to recommendedintake.Discussion: This study had shown that mean age is (54.4±13.14). Poor nutritional status is related to worseprognosis and increases the mortality rates in liver cirrhosis, malnutrition is usual in patients and associatedwith poor outcome. Nutritional support decreases nutrition associated complication. Current study revealedthat (51.6 %) of the subjects were alcoholic. The study showed that most of the patients found to takebalanced diet (38, 63.3%) compared to patients take unbalanced diet (22, 36.7%).Conclusion: Most of the patients had malnutrition. The patients need to enhance their knowledge aboutnutrition-related issues as a part of strategies to avoid nutritional inadequacies.Patients had modified dietthat does not meet with their nutritional needs in regarding to their health status.Energy adequacy is presentin more than half had lower than recommended.

Abstract

Aim This Study existent laser surface structuring of commercial pure titanium (Ti) grade II dental implant,surface structuring of the titanium implant expected causing decrease the time of implant healing andaccelerated the periimplant bone formation. So the present study aimed was in vitro evaluation of commercialpure titanium when subjected to two laser surface structuring (dot and groove) in different laser scans andcomparing with titanium surface that not subjected to any surface structuring (control) by using opticalmicroscope, scanning electron microscope (SEM) and X-ray Diffraction analysis (XRD) test.Materials and Methods: CNC fiber laser machine laser was used for performing the structuring on thesurface of the commercial pure titanium (CP Ti) disks and then analyzed with the control group by opticalmicroscope, SEM and XRD test. The study groups are: polished CP Ti (control); (5, 15 and 25) CP Ti withdot design laser scans; (5, 15 and 25) CP Ti with groove design laser scans.Results the optical and SEM results showed a uniform homogenous structure on the surface of the CP Ti forthe two design of all tested laser scans (5, 15 and 25). The XRD results show an increasing in the titaniumoxide layer for the disks with laser structuring comparing to the control one which predicted to increasetitanium osseointegration while maintaining biocompatibility characteristics of the CP Ti.Conclusions: CNC fiber laser machine are successful method for CP Ti surface structuring. For both lasersurfaces structuring design, the 25 laser scan showed more promising results follow by 15 laser scan then 5laser scan and lastly the control group.

Abstract

Objective: The purpose of this in vitro study is that NiTi esthetic arch wires are preferred to match estheticbraces; but the presence of coating layer is greatly affect friction during sliding mechanics.The aims of this study were to evaluate the influence of surface roughness with the coating material types(coating and ion implanted) on the frictional force of coated nickel titanium wires.Methods: The sample of this study consisted of 140 segments of coated Nickle titanium arch wires for bothtests (friction test and roughness test) 70 segment for each test involving wire dimensions (0.016 × 0.022and 0.019 × 0.025 inches). The static frictional force was measured through pulling the wires through a setof ceramic brackets by the universal testing machine while, the surface topography of wires were assessedby using Atomic force microscope (AFM). The data were analyzed using one-way analysis of variance(ANOVA) and Tukey’s post hoc significance difference tests. Differences were considered significant atP<0.05.Results: The frictional forces of coated wires differ from uncoated control being higher in the control andpolymer coated wires and lesser in the rhodium, gold implanted and labial coated wires owing to differencesin the wire dimension, surface roughness, thickness of coating layer, and physical properties of coatingmaterials.Conclusion: when tested in vitro, rhodium implanted wires produce the least amount of friction, Surfaceroughness of fully coated arch wires was higher than non-coated counterpart and It appeared that frictionalforces does not correlated with the surface.
