Abstract

A case- control study on the relationship of 5-HTTLPR gene polymorphism with alcohol abuse among Iraqi individuals was conducted during period from December 2018 to June 2019. DNA was extracted from the blood samples of the study subjects. The genetic polymorphism analysis was conducted by Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (RFLP-PCR) for SLC6A4 gene. The results raveled that the odd ratio for the LL genotype was 1.697 indicating that homo mutant genotype were at higher risk for alcoholism than the wild type SS. This result showed that L allele frequency was (0.78) in alcoholism group and (0.53) in control group whereas S allele frequency was (0.22) in the alcoholism group and (0.47) in the control group. So, the results showed there was a significant difference in allele frequencies of SLC6A4gene between case and control (P<0.01; OR=1.697; 95% CI=0.86-1.64). There was a significant positive correlation between the SGOT activity and the genotype of 5-HTTLPR (SS, SL, LL).Additionally, there was a significantly increased level of liver enzymes (GOT and GPT) and catalase in serum samples of alcoholic males compared with non-alcoholic males.

Abstract

Background: Preoperative prediction of a difficult laparoscopic cholecystectomy can help the patient as well as the surgeon to prepare better for intraoperative risk and the risk of conversion to open Cholecystectomy. Aim of study: Evaluation the impact of gall bladder wall thickness, on the outcome of laparoscopic cholecystectomy and conversion rate to open cholecystectomy assessed by sonography preoperative and postoperative measurement of gall bladder wall thickness by histopathology. Patients and Methods: A prospective study conducted in the surgical unit, Department of surgery, Baghdad Teaching Hospital between November 2010 and November 2011. Abdominal Sonography performed in 110 consecutive patients before laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The surgeon re-verified sonographic finding in operative room, and postoperatively, the gall bladder specimens were sent for histopathological measurement of wall thickness. Results: Out of 110 patients with cholecystolithiasis on sonography, we encountered easy laparoscopic cholecystectomy in 80 patients (72.7%), difficult laparoscopic cholecystectomy in 24 (21.8%) and the procedure was converted to open cholecystectomy in six patients (5.5%). The difference between Sonographic and histological measurement was within 1 mm in 102 patients (92.7%), and the other 8 patients was with 1.5 mm (7.3%) with sensitivity of (100%), specificity of (83.3%) and accuracy of (97%). Conclusion: An accurate preoperative diagnostic sonography is mandatory for planned laparoscopic gall bladder surgery to provide information for the selection of the most appropriate approach and avoid intraoperative difficulties and surprises. On sonography gall bladder wall thickening is the most sensitive indicator of technical difficulties during laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Such difficulties may require conversion to laparotomy.

Abstract

Objective: The flowable dental composite resins were introduced to the dental specialty because of the advantages they possess over the conventional composite resins. The use of nanotechnology in the dentistry field is one of the growing innovations in recent years. The aim of the present study was to evaluate certain physical properties of flowable dental composite after incorporation of titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO2NPs). Materials and Method: In the present study, TiO2NPs at 1.25 % and 2.5% concentrations were added to flowable composite, while the unmodified composite was used as control. Then the physical properties of the control and modified composite resins, including flowablity, radiopacity and water sorption and solubility were tested. Data were analyzed with One way ANOVA, using SPSS 20. Results: The results showed that there was statistically significant difference among the tested groups regarding flowability and radiopacity (P<0.05). In addition, there was no significant difference among control group and TiO2 modified groups regarding water sorption and solubility. Conclusion: Based on the results of the present study, a flowable dental composite was successfully reinforced with TiO2. Incorporation of small weight percentages of this nanofiller exhibited properties similar to the control material regarding water sorption and solubility. The flowability was slightly reduced and radiopacity of the reinforced composites was increased, these changes were acceptable for clinical applications and below ISO standards limits.

Abstract

In this study, histological and histochemical techniques were used to examine olfactory bulbs in the albino rat male. Thirty male albino rats were split into three age groups (10 animals each) in the current research: Group I: consider as a control group, including adult animals aged 3 months .Group II: include animals aged 6 months. Group III: include animals aged 12 months. The histological architecture of the layers of olfactory bulbs and their main cells was identified by using H & E staining techniques, meanwhile the composition of each layer in albino rat was evident. In the glomerular and mitral cell layer of group III, olfactory bulbs showed reduced neural density. Modified staining with Congo - red was conducted for histochemical studies. Compacted amyloid cores were found in group III animals’ olfactory bulbs, while dispersed amyloid cores were found in group II&III olfactory bulbs’ cortex. The present study adds to our knowledge of the impact of amyloid protein on olfactory bulbs and their prospective neurodegeneration involvement.
