Abstract

The present study was carried out to investigate in-vitro antibacterial activity of aqueous extract of Cranberry (Vaccinium macrocarpon) fruit against Escherichia coli isolated from urinary tract infection. The present study included two experiment; the first one is isolate and identify of E. coli; the second experiment include study in-vitro antibacterial activity of aqueous extract of Cranberry, consisting two steps, the first step involved collection of Cranberry fruit then they were identified and then squeezed by an electric mixer to obtain the aqueous extract. The fruit extract then dried. The second step was to study the in vitro antibacterial activity of Cranberry aqueous extract including minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) against E. coli used as reference antibiotics. The yielding percentage of Cranberry (Vaccinium macrocarpon) fruit extract was (30%). The in-vitro antibacterial study showed the Cranberry aqueous extract was more effective than Gentamicin against E.coli, this organism was quite resistant to Ciprofloxacin. It could be concluded however that Cranberry aqueous extract was more effective in comparison with the standard antibacterial agent, and that the antibacterial activity of Cranberry aqueous extracts against urinary tract infection may be attributed to its essential particularly the important phenolic compound (Proanthocyanidin).

Abstract

Background: The most common medical condition in low-, middle-, and high-income countries is obesity. Thus, diet, lifestyle, and anti-obesity drugs are becoming popular adjuvant treatments for this medical condition. Knowing the community's opinion and awareness is crucial. Materials and methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted at Al-Diwaniyah province hospitals. A convenience sample of 200 health care workers in Al-Diwaniyah province hospitals who are enrolled in the three hospitals (Al-Diwaniyah teaching, the general Al-Hamiza, and the general Al-Shamia). This study includes health care workers (HCWs) of both genders and ages over 20 years of morning shift. While this study excludes those with an educational level below secondary school, administrative staff were excluded from the study. The data collect started from the 3rd of November 2023 till the 13th of February 2024. Results: The results of this study indicate that 52.5% of health workers have a moderate awareness score, followed by 24.5% of the participants have a poor awareness score, and only 23.0% of HCWs have a good awareness score. the results of this study reveal that there is significant relationship between demographic characteristics and overall awareness score (P. value <0.05), except for residence. Conclusions: The study report that most HCWs have a moderate awareness about anti-obesity drugs. These results explain that old age, males’ gender, high education and physician have good assessment scores for awareness about anti-obesity drugs. The study recommends developing and focusing on community-based educational programs and campaigns on anti-obesity medications to improve their views on obesity management.

Abstract

The current investigation aimed to reveal the role of garlic silver nanoparticles and garlic zinc nanoparticles on Candida albicana isolated from women with Vulvovaginal Candidiasis. 120 clinical samples were collected during the period from February to May 2024 from married female patients, collected from Salah al-Din General Hospital. Samples were collected for women with vaginal candidiasis whose ages ranged from (20-50 years). The initial diagnosis and examination for follow-up examinations were conducted with the assistance of a female gynecologist. The results of the microscopic and morphological examination of the total number of samples (120) showed that there were 69(57.5%) positive samples, while the number of negative samples was 51(42.5%). The molecular assay was positive for all DNA samples from the patients with Vulvovaginal Candidiasis, with Cq values ranging (24.402- 29.437) for ALS1 gene, (14.748-29.562) for HWP1 and (23.699-28.23) for ACT1. Results showed 9(90.0%), 10(100.0%) and 7(70.0%) of C. albicans isolates had ALS1, HWP1 and ACT1 gene respectively, which is one of the virulence factors in yeast C. albicanes. On the other hand, the results of the current study demonstrate the effectiveness of both AgNPs and ZnO NPs against Candida albicans. A concentration of 250 and 500 ppm was used for both AgNPs and ZnO NPs. It was found that the average diameter of the inhibition zone for 10 isolates tested was (8.04±3.47) and (21.25±3.18) for AgNPs. prepared with garlic, and the average diameter of the inhibition zone for 10 isolates tested was (8.99±2.24) and (19.57±2.54) for ZnO NPs prepared with garlic. It is concluded from the current study that both AgNPs and ZnO NPs prepared with garlic extract have inhibitory activity against Candida albicans.

Abstract

Stem cell therapy is emerging as a novel approach in the fight against cancer, with over 300 clinical trials exploring various stem cell types, including embryonic, adult, fetal, amniotic fluid, and human embryonic-like stem cells. These trials aim to treat a range of diseases, notably cancer, by leveraging the regenerative capabilities of stem cells. Cancer stem cells (CSCs), a subpopulation within tumors, are integral to tumor growth and resistance to conventional treatments due to their self-renewal properties. Innovative strategies, such as suicide gene therapy using genes like Cytosine Deaminase (CD), show promise in targeting these CSCs and enhancing treatment outcomes. This review discusses the dual role of stem cells in cancer therapy, highlighting their potential to both promote and inhibit tumor development, and underscores the need for well-characterized therapeutic stem cell banks equipped with anti-tumor genes. Future research directions and the potential of stem cell-based therapies to revolutionize cancer treatment are also explored.

Abstract

Along with anemia and hypertension, urinary tract infections (UTIs) are among the most frequent medical problems of pregnancy, occurring in between 5% and 10% of pregnancies. This study set out to ascertain the frequency of urinary tract infections (UTIs) and the presence of uropathogens in expectant mothers. 417 urine samples were examined between December 2021 and August 2022 of that research period. When a urinary tract pathogen grew to at least 10 5 CFU/ml in a culture of a midstream urine sample, the diagnosis of UTI was made. Biochemical assays were used to identify the isolated microorganisms. According to the results, 49.4% of expectant mothers had a UTI. The most often isolated organism was E. Coli (56.79%), which was followed by Proteus sp (5.8%), Pseudomonas sp (6.3%), and Klebsiella sp (19.9%)..

Abstract

Bacterial nanowires, which are electrically conductive appendages or threads that facilitate the transfer of electrons outside the bacterial cell, produced by a number of bacteria, have shown the potential to be useful in many fields, especially bioenergy and bioremediation. Bacteria have developed a group of nanowires in different forms, including Pilli, which are fine structures protruding from the surface of bacteria and used for adhesion, movement, and the formation of biofilms in some species that participate in extracellular respiration and use their filaments to transfer electrons. The world is currently witnessing an energy crisis due to the continuous increase in energy requirements around the world, so the trend today is to use microbial fuel cell (MFC) technology, which is an encouraging technology for generating electricity and a source of clean and environmentally friendly energy that uses microorganisms to convert the chemical energy of organic compounds into electricity using bacterial nanowires. Most MFC studies are being done for electricity generation, which is the primary application of the technology at the moment, and it is a fascinating technology that can use a variety of substrates, MFC cell with bacteria to achieve bioenergy production despite the fact that the energy levels in all these systems were relatively low
