Abstract

Objective: We aimed to investigate whether Serum levels of glycogen phosphorylase BB (GPBB) isoformcould be used as a potential diagnostic biomarker in Acute Ischemic Stroke (AIS) patients or not.Materials and methods : glycogen phosphorylase BB were prospectively evaluated in 40 patients agedbetween 40 to 70 y who were admitted within 24 h of the onset of AIS. The control group included 40healthy volunteers of similar age without any disease.Results: There is a significant elevation in the level of GPBB in ischemic stroke group and compared withcontrol group. For Control, the observations of GPBB had an Min = 4.91 For Stroke, the observations ofGPBB had an Min = 15.32There was a significant positive correlation between stoke and Glycogen phosphorylase (rpb = 0.7473,p< .001). The correlation coefficient between Stroke and Glycogen phosphorylase was 0.7473 indicatinga large effect size. This indicates that moving from the Not having to having Stroke is associated withan increase in Glycogen phosphorylase. Therefore, Stroke tends to be associated with higher values ofGlycogen phosphorylaseConclusions: 1-This study shows there is significant elevation in enzyme level of glycogen phosphorylaseBB (GPBB) in ischemic stroke group and compared with control group.

Abstract

Plasma-related technologies are essential in modern industries. Recently, plasma has attracted increasedattention in the biomedical field. Non-thermal plasma (NTP) is widely used for various therapeuticapplications in health care. Particularly in dentistry, this paper supplies an essential knowledge of plasmaand a narrative review of plasma uses in restorative dentistry. There have been efforts to use NTP technologyin restorative dentistry involving modifications of dental surfaces, adhesion, treatment of dental caries, andtooth bleaching. Although various investigations were in the recent stages, the prospective value of NTPfor dental uses has been occured. To extende the scope of plasma approaches and put suitable research topractical use, interdisciplinary research with the participation of dental professionals is recommended.

Abstract

Creatine kinase (CK) catalyzes the transfer of a phosphate group from creatine phosphate to adenosinediphosphate, and the CK has three isoenzymes CK-MM, CK-MB and CK-BB. Ulcerative colitis (UC) andCrohn’s disease (CD) they are both conditions characterized by long life inflammation of the gastrointestinalsystem. The Purpose of this study was to determine the total CK activity and CK isoenzymes in patientswith Crohn’s Disease and Ulcerative Colitis under Infliximab therapy. For the UC patients, CD patients andcontrols the CK isoenzyme activities and total CK activity was measured, the three CK isoenzymes separateby suitable ion-exchanger small columns (DEAE-Sephadex A-50 exchanger). The results display Creatinekinase isoenzyme chromatograms of all studied groups (UC, CD patients and controls), with variableactivities of (CK-BB) and (CK-MB) isoenzymes with noted an elevation of (CK-MM) isoenzyme activitiesand significantly elevation total CK activity in serum of patient groups after therapy when compared withbefore therapy patient groups.

Abstract

Objectives: The main objective of this study was to assess the effect of CRT-D device on the cardiacmechanics for group of patients with end-stage heart failure (HF).Methods: For 13 patients with heart disease who are supposed to undergo a CRT (Cardiac ResynchronizationTherapy) implant, a single center study has been performed at the Ibn Al-Bitar center for cardiac surgery.End stage HF (heart failure) with (NYHA class III or IV) left ventricular ejection fraction < 35% and QRSinterval >120 ms were selected for CRT. Before CRT implantation, the clinical evaluation was measured and2-D echocardiography was performed to measure left ventricular volume and ejection fraction. Combiningboth M-mode echocardiography, TDI color-coded tissue and speckle tracking technique, left ventriculardesynchrony has been tested. Clinical condition and increase in echocardiographic parameters (leftventricular ejection fraction and volume) were re-assessed after 3 months of follow-up.Results: Post CRT-D implantation, significant clinical improvement was observed in 54% of the patients.Class of functional capacity decreased in the third month after implantation compared to basal levels (P <0.01). Left ventricular end-diastolic (LVIDd) and end-systolic diameters (LVIDs) decreased, and LV systolicfunction improved significantly at the 3rd month after implantation when compared to baseline values.Decrease in LV volumes continued to the 3rd month, that the decrease in LVESV was statistically significant(P = 0.07), reduction in end-diastolic volume was also statistically significant (P = 0.07). Ejection fractionand fractional shortening showed insignificant (p > 0.05) increase after CRT-D implantation.Discussion: Patients were divided into responders and non-responders, based on improvement in NYHAfunctional class, it became evident that an improvement in clinical parameters was observed only in theresponders. Moreover, improvements in LVEF and reverse remodeling were also observed only in theresponders. Conclusion: Cardiac resynchronization therapy is considered as a therapy for patients with severe heartfailure, with statistically significantly improve in clinical and echocardiographic parameters.

Abstract

Background: One of the major deaths causes in the patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) is the impaired lungfunction. Lately, Burkholderia cepacia was considered as a significant opportunistic pathogen in suchpatients. Since the late 1970s, due to its increased isolation from CF patients, its ability to spread infectionsin the community of CF patients, its role in disrupting lung function, and its inherent resistance to multipleantibiotics. Those various factors are making the Burkholderia cepacia isolation one of the significant tasksin cystic fibrosis health-care environment.Objective: To identify the method and the complete recA nucleotide sequence, and to compare the isolatedbacteria from CF by medicinal plants and antibiotics.Material and Methods: Bacterial identification of CF patients was carried out by standard microbiologicalmethods and identification was carried out using biochemical tests Vitek2 compact system, and PCRidentification to confirm the identification and evaluate the antibacterial activity in Mentha leaves and lemonpeel extracts against pathogenic bacteria.Results: Biochemical tests and gene expression confirmed that Burkholderia cepacia and Pseudomonas sppstrains were isolated from 50 sputum samples. These results indicate that Mentha leaves extract is better thanlemon peel extract, compares with antibiotics reveal the resistance of these bacteria.

Abstract

Background High triglycerides may lead to other conditions such as hypothyroidism or liver and kidneydisease. Certain medications, such as beta-blockers, birth control pills and steroids, can increase triglyceridelevels. Other factors can affect triglyceride levels Methodology Biochemical tests included (serumcholesterol, triglyceride, LDL, RBS and HbA1c These tests were performed according to the workingmethod of each analysis on the device Full automate and TUSO Hematological test included( WBC countRBC count Hb and PCV) These tests were conducted at CBC device .Result illustrates a study of some biochemical variables for people with lipoma and comparing them withhealthy peoples , where mean of the affected persons for cholesterol and triglyceride tests was 312, 296,respectively, compared with the control 116, 89, respectively, and the level of sugar and HbA1c in theaffected persons was 11, 226 on Respectively compared to control 86, 3, respectively, and this explains thatthere is a direct relationship between the rise in fat and blood sugar with the emergence of lipomaConclusion We conclude that the most vulnerable people are those who suffer from high levels of triglyceridesand cholesterol, as well as those with high blood sugar, as well as the genetic factor that plays a major rolein causing this disease, as the genetic factor gave a large percentage of infection with this disease, as well asthe quality of nutrition has a great role
