Determination of reliable biochemical parameters of experimental
diabetic rabbit by alloxane monohydrates on liver function and role of
diatery antioxidants (ascorbic acid, vit. A, and α-tocopherole)
supplementation were investigated. Body weight gain, blood (plasma)
chemistries, antioxidant enzymes and histopathological lesions were
determined over 10 week in newzealand white rabbit group each contain 10
animals: control G1 animals group, diabetic only G2 animals group,
diabetic and ascorbic acid G3 animals group, diabetic and Vit. A G4 animals
group, diabetic and α-tocopherole G5 animals group . each of dietary
ascorbic acid, vit. A and α-tocopherole that given to animals of G3, G4 and
G5 respectively were significantly (P≤0.01) improve body weight gain and
glucose level in blood than G2 diabetic group G3 and G5 significantly did
not differ but these two groups significantly more best than G4 group, also
these antioxidants improve levels of alanine aminotransferase, aspartate
aminotransferase, alkaline phosphatase and total protien. Enzymatic activity
of liver glutathione peroxidase and superoxide dismutase were increased
significantly more than of diabetic animals G2. histopathological structures
of liver and pancrease confirm these results, as generally oxidative stress
that affect liver function may diminished by administration of antioxidant
ascorbic acid, Vit. A and α-tocopherole supplementation, and α-tocopherole
group was the best group.

The objective of this study was investigate the effect of Low Level diode
laser on the bacterial isolates (Listeria monocytogenes, Enterobacter cloacae,
Klebsiella pneumonia, Staph aureus, Esherichia coli and Pseudomonas
aeruginosa) which used in preparation of vaccine and to determine the immune
responses using the RID kit. The antibacterial agent’s sensitivity before irradiation
was performed by using twelve antibiotics, these strains showed high resistance for
these antibiotics except amikacin. But after irradiation the sensitivity was
increased. Some features were studied such as bacterial count which decreased and
lost of blood hemolysis and biocyanine stain from p.aeruginosa according to
increasing the time and power of irradiation. Bacterial growth killed and attenuated
to prepare vaccine using diode laser (660) nm of wavelength having (50 and 250)
mw of power and the frequency (1-10) kHz. The experiment was conducted on 24
adult white New Zealand male rabbits with (1.5-2) Kg body weight each, they
were divided into sixth groups with 4 rabbits each and inoculated with killed and
attenuated vaccine and one group was used as control. After (35day) of
immunization, determination was done for (IgM, IgG, IgA in addition to C3 and
C4). The Ig and Co. of immunized animals were higher (P>0.05) compared with
control animals, also the live attenuated vaccine induced highly immune response
as compared with killed vaccine. The control group died after challenge dose while
the immunized animals not.

In this paper we use the weak continuities defined in [1] to define the
weak homeomorphisms, and introduce some rather simple related
relations as theorems.

Objectives
We tried to review the registered annual cancer cases in Al-Muthana and evaluate
the environmental influences on our results.

The new azo reagent 2-((3-methoxy phenyl) diazenyl)-4,5-
diphenyl imidazole was designated as (MBDPI) and its metal
chelate with Co2+metal ion were prepared. The preparation
of the complex have been conducted after fixing the
optimum conditions such as pH and concentration. UV-Vis
spectrum for reacting of metal solution and the reagent
solution. For wide range of pH (5-11) and concentration
which obeys Beer-Lambert Law. The (MBDPI) and its metal
chelate were characterized by the analytical and
spectroscopic studies of the complex solution such as
elemental analysis, FTIR, molar conductivity measurements
and thermodynamic study. It has been found that the azo
reagent behaves as neutral bidentate (N,N΄) reagent forming
chelate with 1: 2 (metal : reagent) stoichiometry. The
infrared spectra of the chelating complex have been studied
and compared with the free reagent spectrum. The
Conductivity measurements for solutions in ethanol have
shown non-ionic character for the chelate
complex.Depending on these results we can conclude that
the proposed geometrical structure of the chelate complex is
octahedral. The synthesized compounds have been tested in
vitro against a two kinds of pathogenic bacteria to assess
their antibacterial properties using disk diffusion method,
which is aGram negative bacteria:
(pseudomonas aeruginosa) and agram positive bacteria
( Staphylococcus aureus )
The results showed that the reagent, its metal chelate with
Co2+and the aqueous solution of metal ion had inhibition
activity toward the first type of bacteria without the second
type.

To evaluate the acute appendicitis due to Enterobius vermicularis appendices
were surgical removed and then macroscopical and microscopical examination
were performed. The samples were obtained from patient admitted in Al-Najaf
hospitals , 980 appendices were examined and the result was indicated that 73 of
980 cases ( 7.45 % ) were infected with E. vermicularis including 33 male ( 3.37
%) and 40 female ( 4.08 % ) at the age of 5 – 34 years. The result showed that
the patient sex gender not affected on the infection , but the ages group did. The
study reported that the existence of E. vermicularis in appendicitis can cause the
symptoms resembling appendicitis and even inflammation of appendicitis.

Consumption of bottled drinking water increase rabidly in Iraq and all over world, because
peoples think it more safe from municipal water, this study aimed to evaluation quality of ten
brands bottled drinking water that sold in local markets of Samawa city by compareresults
with limited levels of Iraqi and world health organization standards for drinking water then
compared its with labels on bottled.Thirty samples collected (three for each brand) during
April, may and June 2012 (one sample monthly) and study quality of it by measured the
following physical ,chemical and biological parameters (pH,temperature,total dissolve solids,
electrical conductivity,dissolvedoxygen,nitrite,sulfate,chloride,totalhardness,calcium ,
magnesium ,total bacterial count,Totalcoliform bacteria and fecal coliform bacteria. Results
showed 70% of studied brands were within Iraqi limited levels 1998 and W.H.O. standards
2008while 30% were above these standards for limited parameters ,SO4 for brands number 1
and 2,PO4 for number 6, temperature and dissolved oxygen can conceders normal because
varied according to favorite of consumers and temperature respectively. In all brands labels on
bottle don’t act real composition of water within it. Conclude bottled drinking water(for some
brands) don’t have enough safety. Statistical analysis results showed significant differences
between brands for most tests in level p<0.05

Fifty blood samples were collected from healthy children with age range from
one to six years old. They were 25children from AL-Sammawa city and 25
children from AL-Khider. These samples were tested by ELISA to evaluate the
immune status of children after immunization. The results showed that the
percentage of children whom observed levels of anti-rubella specific antibodies
≥ 11 IU/ml were 96.7% and 95% for males and females respectively after
vaccination .There was highly significant difference (P<0.01) in titer of IgG after
vaccination between children of AL-Sammawa and AL-Khider. There was
decrease in IgG levels between (2-4) years old but the IgG levels will rise
between (1-2)and (4-6) year.

Fertilizers losses due to leaching, volatilization and the
activated risk of Fertilizers leaching after addition to the soil
may be reduced through the use of slow release fertilizers. These
membranes often consist of permeable polymers, waxes or
sulfur. The aim of this project is to find a suitable material and
method for coating of nitrogen fertilizer to achieve controlled
release and also to evaluate the coating and the coating method
in laboratory scale. The reason for choosing natural and
synthetic rubbers that has been used as coating materials for
the controlled release fertilizers to decrease the release rate. To
evaluate the coating material a conductivity meter was used to
measure the conductivity as a function of time. The conductivity
was changed as the ammonium and nitrate ions were released
through the membrane to the surrounding water. The results
shows that it was possible to coat fertilizer particles with styrene
butadiene (SBR), natural rubber(NR), butadiene rubber (BRcis)
and butyl rubber. The release rate of ammonium nitrate from
SBR and Butyl rubbers are higher than NR and BRcis rubbers.

Thin films of SnS and chlorine doped SnS were prepared utilizing chemical spray
pyrolysis.
The electronic transition was found to be direct and indirect for all the samples
under investigation. The Urbach tail values were increased as the doping percentage
increase while the energy gap takes the behavior of reverse. The single oscillator
model proposed by Wimple and Didomoico were applied to the obtained sample
which certainly obey single oscillator model.

Terpolymer resins based on Salicylic Acid, Furfural, and Resorcinol
(SFR) were synthesized by thecondensation reaction inthe
presence of hydrochloric acid as catalyst for their studies as
selectivechelatingion exchange terpolymer resins for certain
metals. Chelating ion exchangeproperties of these terpolymers
were studied for Hg2+, Cd2+and Pb2+metal ions uptake. A batch
equilibrium method was employed in the study of selectivity and
distribution of a given metal ions between the polymersample and
a solution containing the metal ion. The study was carried out
over a pH range of 5-7 and in a media of various ionic strengths.
Cadmium and Lead were determined by means of Atomic
Absorbtion Spectrophotometry, while Mercury was determined
spectrofluorometry by adopting the method of Mudakavi which
modified by Al-Imarahet al., The polymer showed ahigher
selectivity for the removal of these ions in the following
orderPb2+>Hg2+>Cd2+ ions.

Simultaneous detection of Gastroenteritis viruses in children is important to

time PCR technique with ELISA test fordetecting three enteric viruses (Rotavirus,
Astrovirus, and Norovirus) from 335 stool specimens collected from children of
Al-Muthana province. The overall rates of incidences were 79(23.6%), 39(11.6%)
and 8(2.4%) respectively by using multiplex PCR technique and 20.3, 10.7, and
2.4% overall rate detection with ELISA, the sensitivity and specificity diagnostic
values for PCR test were higher than of ELIAS test.

Within the prosthesis, the residual limb is often subjected to a hot and moist
environment which is both uncomfortable that may contribute to skin irritation, blistering,
and and reduces life of the prosthetic limb, so that to maintain a healthy, clean and
comfortable residual limb, the socket must have the ability to keep the limb cool. In present
study is design of a system for measuring the thermal conductivity of different lamination
materials of prosthetic socket which manufactured in Baghdad center using perlon,
fiberglass and acrylic resin. The experimental results show that the thermal conductivity
ranged from (0.1289-0.22982) for socket materials. Also the results demonstrate increasing
perlon layers with constant fiberglass layers the thermal conductivity increased by (46%),at
the same time the result shows that with increasing perlon layers with absence fiberglass
layers the thermal conductivity Decrease by (67.9%).also it was found that increasing
fiberglass layers from zero to two layers with fixing perlon layers leaded to increased in
thermal conductivity by(78.27%,41.89%,16.2%) for twelve, ten and eight layers of perlon
respectively.
