Introduction: Due to the high prevalence of diseases associated with obesity. There are several factors, including the genetic factors, it is known that the genes Fat mass and obesity-associated FTO rs9939609, the lipoprotein lipase (LPL) Ser447Ter, and the chymase 1 (CMA1) -1903A > G are associated with lipoprotein metabolism. The aim of the present investigation was to study the association of the FTO, LPL, and CMA1 genes with obesity in the children and adolescents population of the Rostov region, Russia. Methods: In a case-control study involving 500 children and adolescents aged from 3 to 17 years, the association between the genetic polymorphisms of the FTO rs9939609, LPL Ser447Ter (rs328) and CMA1 -1903A > G (rs1800875) with the obesity was studied. The obese patients' group consisted of 300 obese children and adolescents, while the control group consisted of 200 non-obese children and adolescents. The genotyping polymorphisms for these genes was performed using PCR amplified fragments. Genetic polymorphisms in DNA samples were typed using commercial test systems NPF Liteh (Russia) with electrophoretic detection. Results: Significant differences (P < 0.05) were found in the frequency distribution of the AA genotype (P = 0.008; OR: 0.60; 95% CI: 0.41–0.87) and the A allele (P = 0.025; OR: 1.35; 95% CI: 1.05–1.75) of the FTO gene polymorphism rs9939609, as well as the distribution of the AA genotype (P = 0.021; OR: 1.76; 95% CI: 1.09–2.83) of the CMA1 gene polymorphism -1903A > G in the obese and control groups. A combination of FTO rs9939609, CMA1 -1903A > G of genotypes increased risks has been identified and LPL Ser447Ter of genotypes which decreased risks according to the nature of the association between the dominant and recessive models of obesity in children and adolescents. Conclusions: An interrelation was revealed between the gene FTO rs9939609 polymorphism and the obesity, while the effect of the CMA1 -1903A > G gene on obesity is unknown, although there was a significant effect on the AA genotype of obesity among the Rostov on-don population.
The Marshlands cover an area of about 24% of the land area of Iraq, which gives it special importance to the country with its resources, resources and human capabilities, and because the conditions of this region are different from other areas environmentally and living necessitates subject to certain design principles achieve sustainable environmental integration to maintain them from For future generations, the idea of research is crystallized by the interest of environmental organizations and urban designers in planning and establishing special laws to exploit the region environmentally, economically and tourism, especially after the current focus of the country's economic revival.

Specifically, the study included four groups of albino mice were fed for 30 days on diet Group I: Control, Group II: animals fed on the conventional basal diet supplemented with 0.5% food grade TMP that supplied 74 mg/kg total curcuminoids. Group III contained animals reared on conventional basal diet supplemented with 1.0 ppm AFB1 supplied by ground aflatoxin culture material (760 ppm AFB1). Finally, Group IV comprised of albino mice fed with basal diet supplemented with 1.0 ppm AFB1 and 0.5% TMP that supplied 74 mg/kg of the

The descriptive survey approach was followed in its relevance to the research objectives. Likewise, a random sample of gifted elementary, intermediate, and secondary school students was selected by the method of stratified sampling, as the sample reached (175) male and female students. The instrument of the research consisted of the questionnaire of counseling services presented to gifted students from their point of view prepared by researchers. The results sho

This study was observational study conducted on 364 cases referred from different general /or private pediatric clinics with unexplained sign and symptoms and suspension of mitochondrial dysfunction. The study included 364 children with an age ranging from 1 month to 1 year. Started from January 2018 to January 2020. All patients referred with their full history review, notes about their clinical examination, and laboratory investigations including blood ammonia, serum lactate/ pyruvate, arterial blood gases. In

Therefore, the current study aimed to comprehend the association among hemolysins, biofilm, as well as gentamicin resistance in local MRSA isolates. Around 35 Staphylococcus aureus locally isolated from different clinical specimens were employed in this study. Methicillin resistance was detected via cefoxitin disk diffusion and mecA amplification methods. MIC of gentamicin was estimated by broth microdilution method. Hemolysin genes involving hla, hlb, hld, and hlg were determined using multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique.
