Frequency of Antineutrophil Cytoplasmic Antibodies (ANCA) in Some Autoimmune Diseases
...Show More Authors

Anti-Neutrophil Cytoplasmic Antibodies (ANCA) are a heterogeneous group of autoantibodies with a broad spectrum of clinically associated diseases. The diagnostic value is established for Proteinase 3 (PR3)-ANCA as well as Myeloperoxidase (MPO)-ANCA. To estimate the frequency of anti-neutrophile cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA) in sera from a group of Iraqi patients with some autoimmune diseases compared with a healthy control group. Serum samples were collected from one hundred patient, 47 males and 53 females; with age range of 16-70 years; 20 specimens from patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), 30 from patients with ulcerative colitis (UC), and 50 from patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). A group of 40 apparently healthy blood donors was included as controls. ANCA were checked using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Positive ANCA was detected in sera of 18 (18%) patients with autoimmune disorders. Anti-PR3 was detected in 6 (12%) patients with RA, and in 4(13.4%) patients with UC. Anti-MPO was detected in 3(6%) patients with RA and in 5(16.6%) patients with UC. All serum samples of patients with SLE showed negative ANCA. There were no ANCAs detected in sera from healthy individuals. Mean of serum anti-PR3 (U/ml) among the studied groups was 2.057 in RA, 2.209 in SLE, and 2.283 in UC, and 1.739 in control group. Statistical analysis revealed that differences in the anti-PR3 between RA, UC and controls were highly significant (P > 0.01), whereas just significant with SLE (P> 0.05). Mean of serum of anti-MPO (U/ml) among the studied groups was 0.711 in RA, 0.695 in SLE, and 1.170 in UC, and 0.652 in control group. Statistical analysis revealed that the differences in the anti-MPO between RA and SLE, controls were non significant (P < 0.05), whereas highly significance with UC (P> 0.01).It was concluded that ANCA markers might play a role in the inflammatory process and they are important factors for the clinical course, and prognosis in the patients with autoimmunity. However, ANCA in autoimmune disorders must be interpreted cautiously with particular attention paid to laboratory technique, the size, age and genetic background of the populations studied.

Key words: Rheumatoid Arthritis, Systemic Lupus Erythematosus, Ulcerative Colitis, Anti-neutrophile Cytoplasmic Antibodies (ANCA).

...Show More Authors

This study included effect of polyherbs mixture treatment of diabetic patients type II for two months. The polyherbs mixture contains Nigella sativa seeds, Boswellia carterri gum, Citrus aurantifolia fruits, Elettaria cardamomum fruits. Also this study included estimation of some biochemical parameters in the serum Diabetes Mellitus (D.M.) patients-type II and knowing the relationship of these parameters with this disease. The parameters are glucose, cholesterol ,High density , Low density lipoproteins( HDL-C, LDL-C) respectively , Triglycerides TG, urea, total protein , albumin , Alkaline phosphatase ALP,Transaminase GOT, GPT enzymes .

Some types of fan sets in supra topology
...Show More Authors

This paper work new and unprecedented definitions of sets, which we have named supra fan, supra. delta fan, supra. semi delta fan sets, which are generated by three sets of specific type of supra open sets, it was utilized supra open, supra delta open, supra. semi delta open sets with special conditions. It is highlighted many details of these new types of fan sets, their axis, blades and their annular sets using tables. Attention is given to the interior and the closure of these three types in supra topological spaces. The research was further enriched numerous and diverse examples. Subsequently, the focus shifted to supra. semi delta fan sets to prove lemma and theorem.

Evaluation of the Drinking water in some Hospitals in Baghdad
...Show More Authors

Due to the significance of hospital drinking water, a study was done to assess the water in three hospitals in Baghdad (Al-Yarmouk Teaching Hospital, Ibn Sina Hospital, and Ibn-Al-Nafis Hospital) for its nature and quality, compare it to other hospitals in terms of its physical, chemical, and bacterial specifications, and compare it to international standards. According to Iraqi standards from 2009 and WHO standards from 2011, Chemical factors were measured, which included pH, Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), and Calcium Ion (Ca+2). Reported readings are all within acceptable ranges for drinking water. In contrast, turbidity, total hardness (T.H.), chlorides (Cl-), magnesium (Mg+2), the number of aerobic plates (APC), total coliform (T
