Abstract

Background: The six-minute walk test (6MWT) is a useful test for measuring functional capacity and predicting morbidity and mortality. The 6MWT is not widely used in children because the exact reference data are often not known, and the test requires concentration and co-operation from the participants, which is harder to manage in children. The anthropometry characteristic influences the 6MWT distance. Objective: This study aimed to investigate the correlation between anthropometry characteristic and 6MWT distance in children aged 7-9 years old. Methods: This research was an observational analytic study using cross-sectional design that was conducted on August 2013. Weight, height and body mass index were measured according to the Decree of Ministry of Health Republic of Indonesia. The 6MWT was performed according to American Thoracic Society (ATS) in a 15m indoor walkway. The data were analyzed using several tests, including Kolmogorov-Smirnov test for data normality test and Pearson’s correlation test. Results: The average 6 MWT distance in all subjects was 390.45±50.05 meters, with the average 6 MWT distance in subjects aged 7 and 8 were 370.15±45.64 and 410.75±46.47 meters, respectively. Pearson’s correlation test showed a positive correlation between height and 6 MWT in allsubjects, but there was no correlation between height, weight and body mass index with 6 MWT distance in each age group. Conclusion: The anthropometry characteristic was not correlated with the 6MWT distance in children aged 7 and 8 years old.

Abstract

Introduction: Vitamin D is crucial for calcium, phosphate homeostasis and mineralization of the skeleton, particularly through growth time developments. Vitamin D deficiency lead to rickets in children and osteoporosis in adult. The activity of vitamin D receptors (VDR) are responsible for the vitamin D so that the single nucleotide polymorphism was detected using BsmI. Material and methods: In this study, the vitamin D3 level were measured using enzyme-linked sorbent assay (ELISA) technique, followed by detection of the polymorphism VDR- BsmI gene using PCR and BsmI restriction enzyme assay (PCR RFLP). Results: Vitamin D, alkaline phosphate and others biochemical were performed in 50 patients beta thalassemia were divided into 25 males and same number females. The biochemical results demonstrated no significant difference p<0.05 between males and females according gender, whereas showed high significant serum calcium p value 0.048 according body mass index. We using RFLP-PCR technique to amplify VDR gene BsmI, DNA ladder molecular weight was 1000-2500 base pair and BsmI digestion showing predicted product in 823 to 175 pb in all lane. Conclusions: BsmI digestion was showing heterozygous mutant (Bb) and homozygous (BB). These result gene polymorphism VDR BsmI effected on vitamin D levels and related with bone diseases and process metabolism.

Abstract

Background: One of the causative agents of the lower respiratory tract (LRT) is Pseudomonas aeruginosa which can lead to severe infection associated with a lung infection. Many cytokines are secreted in response to bacterial infection, in particular, interleukin IL-36 cytokine in response to P. aeruginosa infection. IL36 promotes primary immune response via binding to the IL-36 receptor (IL-36R). Indeed, an over activity of IL-36 might be an initiating factor for many immunopathologic sceneries in pneumonia. The aims of Study: the involvement of IL-36 in the P. aeruginosa infection could be a clue to find a specific way for treatments of different inflammatory and degenerative lung diseases. Methodology and Results: we used manual and VITEK2 system to isolate and purify all the species, also using qPCR real-time to demonstrate that the involvement of IL-36 cytokine in response P. aeruginosa infection which is isolated from (LRT). We found that one of the most common pathogens is P. aeruginosa after Klebsiella pneumonia, and more resistance bacterium against antibiotics is P. aeruginosa (P4). Furthermore, we found that IL-36 cytokine increased in response to P. aeruginosa infection. Conclusion: P. aeruginosa is one of the main causative agents in LRT in many hospitals in Iraq, and the contamination and antibiotics resistance for these nosocomial pathogens is increased. Also, IL-36 expression significantly upregulated in human lung epithelial (A549 cells) after infected by P. aeruginosa at the mRNA level.

Abstract

Platelets are one of the most important cells in human blood, and help control bleeding. Mean platelet volume (MPV) play a vital role to indicate the activation of platelets. any significant changes of mean platelet volume will effect on platelet activity. Vibration-stimulats changes in the platelets activity as a type of stress upon MPV. This study aimed to investigate the impact of ultrasound waves on MPV of healthy and hypertension subjects in vitro model study. Venous blood samples obtained from healthy subjects (n=43 ) and hypertensive patients (n=61 ) have been exposed to ultrasound waves for two periods (5-10) minutes. The MPV was measured using the Coulter electronic count (Complete blood Count). The results have been showen that ultrasound waves caused a significant changes MPV in healthy subjects and hypertensive patients. The changes in the MPV are dependently related to the exposure time. In healthy subjects, the MPVs have been significantly increased by 12.6% for 10-min exposure while in hypertensive are significantly decreased by 9.1% for 10-min. It concludes that ultrasound induced an increase of the MPV, and this effect is tended to be less in patients with hypertension indicated that the responses of platelets are reduced in chronic diseases. It is clearly indication that the cellular response of MPVs in hypertension patients were very weak may because of hypertension. Whereas, MPVs response of healthy subject remained normal and effective.

Abstract

One of the major cause of an ovulatory infertility is polycystic ovary syndrome with a multifactorial etiology.Laparoscopic ovarian drilling (LOD) is regarded as the method of choice for inducing ovulation in those notresponding to oral ovulation induction with PCOS.A prospective study was carried out for assessment of effects of LOD on menstruation, serum levels ofhormones, and reproductive outcome including ovulation and pregnancy rate.A total of 169 patients with an ovulatory infertility underwent LOD over a period of about two years. Allpatients assessed three times for clinical characteristics and serum hormone levels LH, FSH, testosterone,SHBG, prolactin and AMH. FAI and LH/FSH ratio calculated, first before the procedure, second within oneweek after and the last one after three months with the ovulation and pregnancy outcome follow up until sixmonth.The prevalence of irregular menstrual pattern was 89.3%, significantly (P< 0.001) decreased to 19.5%after the procedure with improvement of hirsutism, acne and scalp hair loss, there was a highly significantdecrease in the serum levels of LH, testosterone, AMH, FAI and LH/FSH ratio (P ? 0.001) and a highlysignificant elevation of serum SHBG and prolactin post-operatively, resumption of spontaneous ovulationof 56.2%, and the pregnancy rate of all the study group was 26%. In conclusion, LOD regarded as a methodfor improvement of the hormones, restoration of menstruation and increasing ovulation and pregnancy rate.

Abstract

Background and Purpose: The human nose has been reported to differ in its anatomy and morphologybetween different racial and ethnic groups. Nasal anthropometric features when studied can provide usefulinformation for reconstruction or esthetic surgical procedures and personal identification for forensicpurposes. Method: A total of 311 subjects with age (19-23) years were divided according to gender, race(Arabic or Kurdish), and residence regions in Iraq (north, middle and south). Different nose parameterswere measured for the subjects using digital Vernier caliper. Results: Comparing races, the nose heightand nose length were significant between Arab and Kurds, nasal index showed (60, 60.6) for Arabic vs.Kurdish, respectively. Sexual dimorphism was significant in all the parameters obtained. The fine nose wasthe commonest among all subjects. Parameters analysis revealed high positive significant correlation amongvarious parameters except the nasal index that showed negative correlation with nasal height and length.Conclusions: Nasal morphometric parameters were unique for each person and have variations betweendifferent race (Arabic and Kurdish), gender variation and the correlation among various parameters beenrecorded for Iraqi people. These morphometric evaluations are the key for standardization among Iraqis, andin comparison with different countries, this have great values in anatomical, surgical (aesthetic) and forensicaspects regarding personal identification.
