The extraction of Nickel has been studied as complex with 2-[ (4-Bromo phenyl) azo]-4,5-diphenyl
imidazole which dissolved in chloroform .This search comprises the following aspects: the optimum pH
values for extraction was (pHext. = 9 ), so the suitable concentration of Ni(II) ions in aqueous solution
which is giving highest distribution ratio (D) was (80 μg ) ,studying effect of extraction time illustrated the
optimum shaking time to reach the equilibria was ten minute .It was found from experiments that the
best value of D when the concentration of ligand equal to [3x10-5 M ] , from other hand organic
solvents shows that there is no linear relation ship between dielectric constant of organic solvents and
distribution ratio (D) of extraction ,but there is an effect for the organic solvent structure. The
thermodynamic study demonstrates the complexation reaction is an exothermic at temperature degrees
(20 0C - 70 0C).

Natural polymers are used as lead compounds for design of drugs in treatment of different ailments.
Chitosan and gelatin have proven wound healing properties individually. As both have wound healing
property, the combination of these two polymers and incorporation of drugs into the composite films may
show improvement in wound healing activity. The composite films were prepared with increase in gelatin
concentration while curcuma longa loaded films were prepared with increased concentrations of curcuma
longa in optimized composite film. These films were evaluated for thickness, folding endurance, water
absorption capacity, antibacterial activity, tensile strength, in vitro drug release by diffusion studies and
in vivo wound healing studies. The curcuma longa loaded films shown significant difference in folding
endurance, water absorption capacity, antibacterial activity when compared to blank composite film.
There was no significant difference in thickness and tensile strength of drug loaded films when compared
to blank composite films. Percentage of wound contraction was more for wounds treated with curcuma
longa loaded composite film than blank composite film. With the above results, it was concluded that
curcuma longa loaded chitosan-gelatin composite films had shown more wound healing property than
chitosan-gelatin blank composite film and blank chitosan film without interfering in strength of film.

This study is concerned the synthesis of Co(III), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II), Cd(II) and Hg(II) complex of 2-[2
sulfophenyl) azo] -4,5- diphenyl imidazole (SAI). Complexes has been studied, such as, molar
concentration, effect of time on a formation of the complexes and pH values. The expected structure of
these complexes were by mole Ratio method, the results showed that all of these complexes have a mole
ratio (1:2) (metal: reagent) except Cu+2 which have amole ratio (1:1) and melting points measurement of
these complexes showed high stability. IR and UV-Vis spectra of free reagent showed some changes
comparing with high reagent changes comparing the spectra of complexes.

Objective: The aim of this study is to evaluate the difference in lipid profile between male and female and
the effect of BMI and family history on the level of lipid profile. Methods: The study conducted on 60
subjects during three months duration. Full history specially family history of hyerlipidemia,
hypertension and cardiovascular disease were taken for each subject. Data like age, gender, height and
weight were recorded, also measurement like waist circumference, hip circumference, and body mass
index and waist/hip ratio were calculated. Blood tests of lipid profile were measured to the samples.
Statistical analysis: statistical analyses were performed using the STATISTICA 6.0 for windows software(
stat soft, Tulsa, Oklahoma ). Data were expressed as mean ± SD. Difference were considered significant at
P<0.05. Results: There was a significant increase in the serum level of triglyceride and cholesterol (
P<0.05) in subject with positive family history of hypertension and coronary artery disease in both gender
while; the level of HDL- C was significantly higher ( P<0.05) in subject with negative family history. The
concentration of cholesterol and triglyceride (TG) was significantly higher in female than in male (P<0.05)
While no significant differ in the level of HDL- C. Conclusion: there is a relation between high level of
lipid and increase of BMI with family history of hypertension and ischemic heart disease (IHD) making
the subject risk group even if he or she appears to be normal

The aim of this study is to isolate some active substances from the linden plant (Tilia cordata) as tannins

A new procedure for the separation, preconcentration and determination of cadmium as a chloro anion
was presented by using the combined cloud point extraction (CPE) methodology and molecular
spectrophotometry. The extraction process involved the conversion of cadmium (II) ion in acidic aqueous
solution into chloro anion [CdCl4]2-complex and subsequently the hydrophobic ion-pair complex formed
with crystal violet (CV) cation was extracted into the nonionic surfactant (Triton X-100) rich phase at a
temperature above its cloud point (CPT). After phase separation, the surfactant-rich phase was diluted
with ethanol and cadmium (II) ion determined by UV-Vis spectromphotometric technique at λmax of 449
nm. The optimization of complexation and extraction conditions was investigated. Thermodynamic
parameters of CPE for solubilization process of the ion-pair complex in Triton X-100 were also
considered. Under the optimized conditions, the preconcentration of a 10 mL sample gave
preconcentration and enrichment factors were of 125 and 150 respectively. The calibration graph was
linear in the range of 0.25-5 μg mL-1 with a correlation coefficient of 0.9995 and limit of detection of 0.042
µg mL−1. The relative standard deviation for replicate determinations at (3) µg mL−1 level was of 2.68%.
The proposed method was applied for the determination of cadmium in soil, vegeTables, plant leaves and
water which gave satisfactory results relative to results obtain by AAS method

The present study is concerned with the adsorption of cyanide ion (CN-) from aqueous solutions using the
wastes of spent black tea leaves (SBTL) as an adsorbent Batch adsorption experiments were carried out at
equilibrium conditions for concentrations of cyanide ion between 50 and 300mgL-1 .The parameters
examined in this study were the effect of contact time ,solution pH , temperature and amount of adsorbent
.The results showed that significant amounts about 90% of 50 mgL-1 cyanide ion was removed at 37°C and
solution pH= 8.The equilibrium adsorption isotherms have been analyzed by the Freundlich and
Langmuir equations using Linearized correlation coefficient at different temperatures. The Freundlich is
found the best represent the equilibrium data for cyanide-SBTL system. Thermodynamic parameters
were calculated at three different temperatures and the obtained values support the conclusion that the
cyanide ion adsorbs by spontaneous and endothermic process. To examine the kinetic of the adsorption
process, models of pseudo-first-order and pseudo-second-order were applied. The data showed that the
pseudo –second-order model was best-fit model.

The calculations of Substituted Succinimide (I, II, III) were carried out by using quantum chemical
calculations. The optimized structures of the Compounds(I, II, III) were obtained by the Density
functional theory DFT/B3LYP level of theory using the basis set 6-311++G(3d,3p). The study shown, the
optimized structures of compounds (I, II, III) have the global minimum energy. Also the dipole moment
of compound (II) found to have high values compared with the Compounds (I, III). Global descriptors
such as the MO energies of HOMO, LUMO levels, ΔE, electron affinity(A),ionization potential(I),
hardness(η), electronegetivity(X), electrophilicity(ω) were determined and used to identify the differences
in the stability and reactivity of compounds. In general calculated values lead to the conclusion that the
stability of the compounds are I>II>III . On the other hand theoretical calculations for 1H-NMR and
13C-NMR for compound( I) were carried out and compare with experimental data for compound (I) and
predicate the 1H-NMR and 13C-NMR, Charge Density Distribution for compounds ( II, III). As well as
the calculations show the effect of substitution on the ring leads to change of the bond length and angles.
