Abstract

Amplification of the MCL-1 gene induces MCL-1 overexpression, which is an important marker for drug resistance in several malignancies through evasion of apoptosis. We analysed 39 lung adenocarcinomas (ADCs), 38 lung squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs), two large cell lung carcinomas (LCCs) and cell lines. A duplex ratio test TaqMan qPCR approach was performed for MCL-1 copy number change analysis and we demonstrated amplification of MCL-1 in H1395 cell line and copy number gain (isochromosome) in H2342 cell line. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) and in situ hybridization (ISH) were performed for protein and mRNA analysis respectively. MCL-1 amplification was detected in 13% and 2.5% of SCCs and ADCs respectively. MCL-1-amplified tumours demonstrated high expression of MCL-1 mRNA. Copy number gain was detected in 2.5 % of ADC but not SCC.

Abstract

Background: Domestic violence is now considered as a global health issue. It is defined as a threat or physical, psychological and/or emotionally violent act. Methods: An experimental design was used to guide this study. The study was conducted at three secondary schools for girls from Al-Mahmudiya district. The study included a sample of 200) secondary school student girls who were randomly selected. The education program is implemented through three sessions. Each session is scheduled for 45-minutes.Study instrument: A questionnaire was adopted from Elabani (2015). The behaviors considered as domestic violence against women scale was used to measure behaviors that women consider them implying domestic violence against them. The study results revealed that was a (a priori p = 0.01) significant difference in the domestic violence as a behavior over time for participants in the study group. The omnibus effect (measure of association) for this analysis is .883, which indicates that approximately 88% of the total variance in the domestic violence as a behavior values is accounted for by the variance in the administered intervention.Conclusion : The implemented program positively affected the values of the domestic violence as a behavior, for the study group by time compared to the control group.

Abstract

Infertility affects about 8-12% of couples worldwide, and male infertility accounts for a half of these cases, therefore, thisstudy was undertaken to focus on some factors affecting male’s fertility such as DNA methylation and genital tract infections by sexually transmitted diseases. The study groups included infertile males as a patient group (n=63) in an age mean (32.28 ± 6.88 years) and fertile males as a control group (n=13)in an age mean (34.07 ±6.52years).Seminal fluid was collected from all males attending a clinical laboratory for routine semen analysis, seminal fluid analysis was performed according to World Health Organization guidelines, all of the 63 infertile males was suffering from reduced sperm concentration (9.42 ± 8.70 million/ml), reduced progressive motility (2.89 ± 5.45%) and abnormal sperm morphology (27.06 ± 16.50%), while control group have a higher values thus, there was a highly significant difference in semen parameters between the two groups.The DNA samples of the patients group (n=44) and control group (n=13) was subjected to bisulfite treatment to convert un-methylated C-residues to uracil, this step was performed to allow the qualitative detection of methylation at the promoter of Small nuclear ribonucleoprotein polypeptide N gene by Real time polymerase chain reaction using two sets of designed primers (methylated and un-methylated sets) allowing one set of the primers to anneal, and amplify the desired region.The results of real time PCR for the detection of methylation in SNRPN gene promoter showed hyper methylation in the promoter of SNRPN in some samples (22.7%), a slight methylation in others (20.4%) and no methylation in other samples (56.8%) from infertile males, while all the 13 control samples showed no methylation.

Abstract

Background: Many materials are used for root canal obturation but all of them possess certain drawbacks. In the present study compared the obturation quality of Glass ionomer cement containing chitosan root canal filling material with other regularly used materials by using dye penetration. Material and Methods: Thirty-six human roots were chosen for this study. After de-coronation of the teeth and separation of the desired roots, they were instrumented by the Protaper Universal system from S1-F4 and then divided into three major groups: Group 1, filled with experimental material (glass ionomer cement/Chitosan); group 2, filled with gutta-percha with zinc oxide eugenol sealer; group 3, filled with gutta-percha with AH26. The evaluation was performed by radiographs post-obturation and by dye leakage test.Results: There was no significant difference between root canal obturation materials.Conclusions: The use of glass ionomer cement with chitosan root canal filling material improves the obturation quality of root canals.

Abstract

This research aims to see how is access to maternal services in the pandemic era. Maternal patients with COVID-19 without symptoms (co-incidence) can only access a limited number of health facilities and make it more challenging to access healthcare services. Whereas previously, with the integrated referral system, it was easier for patients to access healthcare services. All childbirth during the pandemic takes place in a Healthcare Facility. Pregnant women with suspected, probable, and confirmed COVID-19 would have childbirth at a COVID-19 referral hospital. Based on our study results, as the conclusion, patients with an integrated referral system will be easy to get access to healthcare services. Maternal patients with confirmed COVID-19 without any symptoms have limited access to the health facilities, making access to healthcare services is not easy as before. Easy access to healthcare services is a patient’s right, including a pregnant women’s right with confirmed COVID-19. Therefore, the government needs to increase the number of COVID-19 Referral Hospital. To provide healthcare services, the Specialized Hospital for Mother and Child can handle the normal childbirth of COVID-19 patients. It is necessary to make regulations on the childbirth of COVID-19 patients at the Specialized Hospital for Mother and Child.
