Objectives of this project were to study the effect of 60% crude alcoholic extract of the seeds of cyperus esculentuson induced endometritis in the mice . The plant of cyperus esculentuswas extracted by preparing Alcoholic extract 60% . One hundred microliters of saline containing Escherichia coli (104cfu) was used to induce endometritis, by a single intracervicallyinjection, and endometritis developed after 2 days from injection. The mice were divided into five groups, The first group were treated with alcoholic extract of cyperus esculentusextract 150mg/kg body weight, the second group was treated with a daily 3mg per kg body weight of gentamicin given intra peritoneal,The third group was treated by 75mg/kg of cyperus esculentusextract and 1.5mg/kg of gentamicin, The fourth group was treated by distilled water given orally by stomach tube, treatment of mice in these groups continued for 14 days while the the fifth group was (negativecontrol group). The results of the packed cell volume (P.C.V.)%, hemoglobin (Hb)g/dL of mice in alcoholic extract group(T1)after 7 days of treatment showed significant improvement as compared with mice in induction group (T4) andafter 14 days of showed no significant increase (P≤ 0.05)as compared with mice in control group (T5). While in gentamicin(T2) treated group after 7 and 14 days of treatment showed significant decrease (P≤ 0.05) as compared with mice in (T4) and (T5) , furthermore the mice in alcoholic extract and gentamicin treated group(T3) after 7 and 14 days showed significant decrease as compared with (T5) in addition showed significant increase (P≤ 0.05) as compared (T2). Total white blood cell count and all differential white blood cell of alcoholic extract group(T1)after 7 days of treatment showed significant improvement as compared with (T4) and after 14 days of treatment showed no significant increase (P≤ 0.05)as compared with (T5). While the (T2)after 7 and 14 days of treatment showed significant decrease (P≤ 0.05) as compared with (T4) and (T5) while the eosinophil percentage showed significant increase (P≤ 0.05) as compared with mice in (T5). While (T3)after 7 days showed no significant important as compared with control group, but after 14 days of treatment showed significant decrease as compared with control group, in addition showed significant increase (P≤ 0.05) as compared with mice in (T2). the results of fertility index shown in alcoholic extract treated group (T1) and alcoholic extract and gentamicin treated group (T3) was increased as compared gentamicin treated group (T2). The results of body weight and uterine weight showed significant increase (P≤ 0.05) in alcoholic extract treated group as compared with control group and mice in gentamicin group.After 7 and 14days of induction with E.coli intrauterine infection revealed presence of inflammatory cellswithin the endometrial glands and surrounding glands, glandular epithelium is degenerating and the lumen contains cellular debris) , while the groups that treated with both extract and gentamicinshowed cellular debris within the glandular endometrium. group treated with the extract for 14days noticed cellular debris within the glandular endometrium and few inflammatory cells around the endometrial glands. Thegroup treated with Gentamicin for 14days of inductionshowed also degenerating of glandular epithelium and aggregates of inflammatory cells surrounding degenerating glands and presence of hemosiderin around glands, the control group showed normal uterine tissue
The nonlinear optical properties for polymeric (PMMA) doping with dye Rhodmine (R3Go) has been studied .The samples are prepared by normal polymerization method with concentrations of 5x10-5mol/l and a thickness of 272.5µm.
Plasma effect was studied on samples prepared before and after exposure to the Nd: YAG laser for three times 5, 10 and 15 minutes. Z-Scan technique is used to determine the nonlinear optical properties such as; refractive index (n2) and the coefficient of nonlinear absorption (β). It was found that the nonlinear properties is change by increasi

Show MoreThe study aimed to explaining the concepts of water footprint and virtual water and how these two concepts could use to achieve water savings at the local level to meet the water supply deficit in Iraq, which is expected to increase in the coming years and influence of that on food security in Iraq by using these concepts when drawing production, irrigated and import plans in Iraq. The study aimed to studying the water footprint and virtual water and their impact on the foreign trade for wheat and rice crops during the period 2000-2022 and estimating the most important indicators of virtual water and the water footprint of the study crops due to the importance of these criteria in det
Nanocrystalline TiO 2 and CuO doped TiO 2 thin films were successfully deposited on suitably cleaned glass substrate at constant room temperature and different concentrations of CuO (0.05,0.1,0.15,0.2) wt% using pulse laser deposition(PLD) technique at a constant deposition parameter such as : (pulse Nd:YAG laser with λ=1064 nm, constant energy 800 mJ, with repetition rate 6 Hz and No. of pulse (500). The films were annealed at different annealing temperatures 423K and 523 K. The effect of annealing on the morphological and electrical properties was studied. Surface morphology of the thin films has been studied by using atomic force microscopes which showed that the films have good crystalline and homogeneous surface. The Root M

This in vitro study done to measure and compare the effect of thermocycling on the shear bond strength of stainless steel and sapphire brackets bonded to human enamel teeth using light cured orthodontic adhesive and debonded at various time, and to measure adhesive remnant index after debonding. Materials and Methods: one-hundred-twenty extracted upper first premolars for orthodontic reason were used in this study; depending on weather thermocycled or not, the sample was divided into two main groups, then within each group 30 teeth were used for stainless-steel brackets (Bionic®) and for sapphire brackets (Pure®). Both groups were subdivided into three
... Show MoreTNF-α-induced osteoclastogenesis is central to post-menopausal and inflammatory bone loss, however, the effect of phytoestrogens on TNF-α-induced bone resorption has not been studied. The phytoestrogens genistein, daidzein, and coumestrol directly suppressed TNF-α-induced osteoclastogenesis and bone resorption. TRAP positive osteoclast formation and resorption area were significantly reduced by genistein (10(-7) M), daidzein (10(-5) M), and coumestrol (10(-7) M), which was prevented by the estrogen antagonist ICI 182,780. TRAP expression in mature TNF-α-induced osteoclasts was also significantly reduced by these phytoestrogen concentrations. In addition, in the presence of ICI 182,780 genistein and coumestrol (10(-5) -10(-6) M) augmente

The problem was the negative effects of the organizational silence on the morale of the employees and consequently their performance and the quality of function life. To collect the data and information needed to measure the two variables of research conducted in the health center / Sulaikh by taking a sample of (40) employees to test the hypotheses of research through the survey of their views, using statistical tools non parametric using the program. The most important recommendations were the establishment of training workshops fo

In view of that .Borage Officinalis was employed to ensure an abundant milk supply or rectify milk insufficiency .However, this remedy has not been scientifically tested .The animals were treated with the aqueous extract of Borage Officinalis flowers at a daily concentration of 100 mg / kg body weight /ml for each rat through Oro-gastric tube for 14 days. Animals were subdivided into subgroups according to their physiological status. Mammary glands of these animals were processed for histological, histochemical and immunohistochemical studies.
