Abstract

Objective: This study was done to evaluate the potential toxic effect of aspartame (APS) artificial sweetener after chronic oral administration in rat pups as a model for children that consumption high quantities of different types of sweets and juices from the peddler, regularly and daily. Methods: Twenty-four rat pups were divided equally into three groups. Therapeutic dose group (T1) and double dose group(T2) received 0.08, 0.16 g/kg. body weight(BW), respectively, while control group (C) received distilled water orally for 90 (d)days. Results: The result of present study revealed that there was an increased consumption of food, water and arising nervous signs(aggressive) in T1 and T2 groups comparing with control. The cytogenetic study includes the mitotic index and blast index showing a substantial decline relative to the control one in both treated groups. While the blast index showed a significant reduction(P<0.05) in T2 relative to T1 and the control group. No chromosomal aberration observed in all groups exposed to aspartame. Different histopathological lesions were recorded in the liver of T1 group represented by inflammatory cell (neutrophil & mononuclear cell) aggregation around the blood vessels. While noted in a double dose group (0.16g/ kg.bw), a granulomatous lesion with mild change in fat is shown. Conclusion: Used daily for lengthy periods ASP has cytogenetic and pathological risks.

Abstract

As one the naturally occurring toxins, Ricin is classified among the deadliest poisons available. Ricin and Ricinus communis agglutinin (RCA120) are derived from the castor bean plant. Ricin and its related activities can be detected using either mass spectrometric (MS) assay or Liquid Chromatography (LC). Further, the two methods can be to differentiate ricin from RCA120 because it is less toxic of the two. The sequence of Amino acid is identified by monitoring the active ricin using mass spectrometric. This study discusses how LC and MS methods can be applied to quantify, detect, and differentiate ricin from RCA120 in test samples. On the overall, the two methods were applied to tell aside ricin samples from RCA120. The study concluded that mass spectrometry is the most efficient approach in identifying ricin from RCA120.

Abstract

Background: The role of stem cell during the whole life of human constricted into two stages. First stage occurred during prenatal life when stem cell take part in formation of organ in process called embryogenesis. Second stage occurred in postnatal life when these cells contribute in regeneration of damaged or old tissue as repairing or substituting cell in adults. Patient and Method: 150 male volunteers who work in different industries with traumatic finger of the right or left hand (33 right thumb,25 right middle finger ,22 right little finger,28 left thumb,26 left middle fingers 16 left little finger) were taken on from the Department of surgery, Baghdad Hospital, Baghdad; Iraq from February 2019 to October 2019. Results: Anatomical results showing that The grip was affected only in case of traumatic thumb. Vimentin rich-stem cells were highly positive in the proximal epidermal areas of traumatic fingers more than the stem cells in the distal areas of the same fingers. Conclusion: there is a little hope in the near future that the injured or even amputated finger or any part of the body could be replaced by new one made by culturing stem cells in laboratories.
