Macrophage Colony Stimulating Factor as Predictive Marker of Osteoporosis in T2DM Patients
...Show More Authors

Background: Diabetes mellitus and osteoporosis are two common medical disorders that are becoming more common as the population ages. T2DM patients have a higher fracture hazard, having a high BMD, which is primarily due to the raise hazard of falling. Macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF) is one of the hematopoietic growth factor family, and It plays an important function in fracture repair by attracting stem cells to the fracture site and influencing the production of hard calluses by promoting osteoclast genesis.Aims of study: The purpose of this research was to assess the blood level of macrophage colony-stimulating factor in Iraqi osteoporotic patients with and without type 2 diabetes. in addition, that M-CSF may be a predictive marker for osteoporosis in T2DM patients .Subjects & Methods: This study was conducted between October 2021 to March 2022 in Medical City of Baghdad Teaching Hospital. The current study included 92 individuals (females and males) aged 40-65 years’ old, 67 of them are patients and 25as a control. The lumber spine's bone mineral density was determined using dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA)scan to diagnose these patients. Patients divided into (20) person as T2DM patients, (27) person as osteoporosis patients, and (20) as osteoporosis patients with T2DM. Results: The current study showed an important increase in serum M-CSF of osteoporosis patients with and without T2DM groups when compared with control, also, there was no significance increase in M-CSF level in T2DM patients comparing with control. Also, there was an important negative relation between M-CSF and bone mineral density (BMD) In osteoporosis patients, there was a substantial positive connection between M-CSF, FBS, and HbA1C. Conclusions: The current study demonstrated that serum macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF) levels was significantly elevated in osteoporosis patients with and without T2DM, Therefore, this parameter may be a diagnostic marker for osteoporotic patients. In addition, that diabetic patients may be prone to osteoporosis, and M-CSF may be a predictive biochemical marker for development of osteoporosis in type 2 diabetic patients.

Synthesis of Phthalimide Imine Derivatives as a Potential Anticancer Agent
...Show More Authors

The outstanding evidence of phthalimide pharmacophore in securing enhanced biological activities had encouraged further research and development into phthalimide-based derivatives as potential new drugs. In this study, phthalimide core was hybridized with aldehydes giving integrated imines displaying different types of functionalities and at alternating positions. The resulting compounds, therefore, provide an innovative window to explore possible differential biological effects as antioxidants and anticancer agents. A total of sixteen compounds were synthesized, and each was verified by FT-IR, H NMR, C NMR, and MS characterization. Herein, a facile single-step synthesis method was employed substituting the conventional two-step che

Preparation and Evaluation of Meloxicam Microsponges as Transdermal Delivery System
...Show More Authors

The aim of present study was to develop gel formulation of microsponges of poorly soluble drug meloxicam (MLX) in order to enhance the release and dissolution of MLX which is the limitation for preparation in topical forms. Also skin delivery is an alternative administration for MLX that can minimize gastrointestinal (GI) side effects and improve patient compliance. The microsponges of MLX were prepared by quasi-emulsion solvent diffusion method.  The effects of drug:polymer ratio, stirring time and Eudragit polymer type on the physical characteristics of microsponges were investigated and characterized for production yield, loading efficiency, particle size, surface morphology, and in vitro drug release from microsponges. The selec

Measurement of Serum Trace Elements (Zinc, Copper, Magnesium and Iron) Concentrations in Pediatric Patients with Otitis Media with Effusion in Iraq
...Show More Authors

Otitis media with effusion (OME) is a common disease especially among young children (before school age) and it is one of the common causes of acquired hearing loss in childhood. Pediatric patients with OME are usually undernourished. The purpose of this study is to determine whether the serum levels of trace elements (zinc, copper, magnesium, iron) have a role in the development of OME in children. This study carried out on 55 children and subdivided them into two groups. Group 1 (patient group) consist of 30 children suffering from OME and group 2 (control group) included 25 apparently healthy children. Serum levels of zinc, copper, magnesium and iron were measured for both groups. Comparison the results between the two groups showed t
