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
Carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) has been demonstrated to induce testicular damage via oxidative stress. Bromelain (Br), a proteolytic enzyme known for its biological activities and pharmacological properties, exhibits limited absorption owing to its low solubility and bioavailability. The present study aimed to investigate the histological and immunohistochemical effects of bromelain conjugated with gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) on the testis histology of albino mice treated with CCl4. Thirty-five male albino mice (Mus musculus), with an average age of 9 weeks, were randomly divided into five groups, each containing seven mice. The experiment was prolonged for four weeks. The first group (G1) was the control group, the second group (G2) re

Show MoreActivity test of the inhibitors purified from barley and broad beans crop proved the inhibition activity against 6 types of rots Pencillium ssp and Aspergellusflavus and Aspergillus niger and Fusarium solani and Fusarium semitectum and Mucor with three concentrations 0.1 and 0.2 and 0.3 mg/ml, where the inhibitor purified from the second peak of broad beans proved that it had a higher inhibition activity against the growth of test rots which were 53.75 and 62.5 and 78.5 and 76.25 and 84 and 18.8% respectively, at 0.3 mg/ ml followed by the first peak of the inhibitor purified from broad beans the inhibition activity were 43.75 and 50 and 62.96 and 75 and 80 and 12.5 then the inhibitor purified from barley in which the inhibition activity
... Show MoreIraqi oil crudes have some of the physical and chemical characteristics that distinguish it from other types of oil crudes in the world. Some of these features such us molecular composition, rheological, viscosity and emulsions are studied carefully by researchers. In this work, a comparative study of the linear and the non-linear optical properties for typical heavy and light crude oils of Iraqi origin was studied utilizing Z-scan technique. The He -Ne laser of wavelength 632.8 nm had been used for this purpose. These samples were collected from Basra and Kut oil fields. The values of the non-linear refractive index (n2), non-linear absorption coefficient (β), and third-order electrical susceptibility (χ3) were e

After injection intra peritoneal with 103viable tachyzoites for acute infection, treatments given for seven days. Peritoneal fluid examination revealed a significant decrease in the number of Toxoplasmagondiitachyzoites in all treated infected mice compared with infected non-treated. The combined therapy gave better results than single. The best effect was observed in group of mice treated with spiramycin combined with chitosan nanoparticles. Also immunoglobulin Ig Manti body and gamma Interferon (INFγ), Tumor Necrosis Factor alpha (TNF-α) cytokines responses ag

A field experiment was carried out during two winter season 2013, 2014 at the field of the Department of Field Crops, College of Agriculture, University of Baghdad, to study the effect of seeds soaking with Gibberellic acid and foliar with Abscisic Acid on the growth, yield, and content of Anise oil seeds using factorial experiment within RCBD design with three replicates. The seeds was treated within GA3 were soaked with two concentrations of 30, and 60 mg. litter-1 in addition to without soaking and the code has been B0 , B1 , B2 overlapped these transactions with two concentrations of Abscisic Acid 3, and 6 mg. litter-1 in addition to without foliar A0 , A1 , A2The seeds to be treated with GA3 are soaked for 24 hours prior
