The Assessment of Some Serum Biomarkers of Fibromyalgia Syndrome in Pre and Postmenopausal Women in Relation to Obesity
...Show More Authors

The objective of this study is to evaluate the level of parathyroid hormone, Co enzyme Q and total antioxidant status in serum’s women with fibromyalgia syndrome firstly, then to demonstrate if these biochemical markers affected by age and obesity.

      This study was performed at Rheumatology and Rehabilitation Consultation Unit in Baghdad Teaching Hospital. Venous blood sample were drawn from (59) female with FMS and (30) control (without FMS). The serum was obtained after on standing in order to coagulate then centrifuged. The mean age± SD of FMS group was (42.22±15.34) years and for control was (40.7±18.22) years. Those participants were subdivided into four different groups according to menopausal status and body mass index to estimate three biochemical markers in their serum. The assessment of serum both PTH and Co enzyme Q were done by enzyme linked immune sorbent assay (ELISA) while total antioxidant status (TAS) determination was done colorimetric ally. Statistical analysis was calculated by SPSS program version 24. Independent samples T-test for different group of patients Pearson correlation between serum’s biomarkers within different groups; P values < 0.05 means significant.

       The results record that serum’s PTH showed increasing significantly at same time of decreasing Co Q (P value<0.05) but TAS measuring register not significant decreased (P value> 0.05) in FMS comparing with control group. About the age; PTH serum level appear insignificant increased but Co Q & TAS were decreased (P value >0.05& P value< 0.05) respectively in post menopause comparing with pre menopause. For estimating serum’s biomarkers related with body mass index (BMI) as a sign of obesity. Serum PTH level record significant raise in obese group P value<0.003, insignificant variation in obese and non- obese groups (P value>0.05) in the same time TAS record a significant decrease in obese group P value= 0.00.

In pre menopause (FMS and control): Serum TAS level correlate negatively and significantly with PTH (P value= 0.034). For age>55; PTH in both FMS& control show critical significant correlation P value=0.05. In pre and post menopause FMS show significant independent t-test belong to TAS (P value= 0.004). In obese group PTH correlate Co Q of 25<BMI>30 significantly P value=0.027 and P value=0.029. T test show significant in PTH and TAS between obese and non-obese.

In conclusion the obesity and menopause play an imperative role in the etiology of FMS relative with serum’s biomarkers (PTH, Co Q and TAS).

Effect of ginger extract on Mutans streptococci in comparison to chlorhexidine gluconate
...Show More Authors

Background: The rhizome of ginger is used in cooking and for medicinal purposes such as anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant. The aims of the study were to test the effect of ethanolic extract of ginger on growth, adherence and acidogenicity of mutans streptococci in comparison to chlorhexidine gluconate 0.2% and de-ionized water. Materials and methods: From saliva often volunteers (dental students 20-22 years); mutans streptococci was isolated, purified and diagnosed according to morphological characteristic and biochemical tests. Ginger was powdered and extracted, different concentrations of ginger extract were prepared. Chlorhexidine gluconate 0.2% used as a control positive; while de-ionized water was used as a

Study of Catalysts Deactivation in Isomerization Process to Produce High Octane Gasoline
...Show More Authors

In this study  the isomerization of desulfuerized light Iraqi petroleum naphtha (Al-Dura Refinery) with boiling point range of 37 to 124 °C , 80.5 API specific gravity and 68.2 octane number has been investigated. Two types of catalysts were prepared (Pt/HX and Pt/SrX) by impregnation of 0.8 wt% Pt on l 3X-zeolite. The catalyst activity and selectivity toward isomerization, and catalyst deactivation were investigated.

The isomerization unit consisted of a vertical tubular stainless steel reactor of 2 cm internal diameter, 3 cm external diameter and 68 cm height. The operating pressure was atmospheric for all experimental runs.  The liquid flow of light­naphtha was 0.4 Uh, and the catalyst weight was 50 gm, H/

Synthesis and Characterization of Some Novel Oxazine, Thiazine and Pyrazol Derivatives
...Show More Authors

In this paper, some chalcone derivatives (C1, C2) were synthesized based on the reaction of equal amount of substituted acetophenone and substituted banzaldehyde in basic medium. Oxazine and thiazine derivatives were prepared from the reaction of chalcones (C1-C2) with urea and thiourea respectively in a basic medium. Pyrazole derivatives were prepared based on the reaction of chalcones with hydrazine mono hydrate or phenyl hydrazine in the presence of glacial acetic acid as a catalyst. The new synthesized compounds were identified using various physical techniques like1 H-NMR and FT-IR spectra.

A field experiment was conducted in an agricultural field in Al-Hindia district, Karbala governorate in a silty clay soil during the year 2020. The research included a study of two factors, the first is the depth of plowing at two levels, namely 13 and 20 cm, which represented the main blocks. The second is the tire inflation pressure at two levels, namely (70 and 140 kPa), which represented the secondary blocks. Slippage percentage, field efficiency, leaf area, and 300 grain weight were studied. The experiment was carried out using a split-plot system under a Randomized complete block design, at three replications. The tillage depth of 13 cm exceeds/transcend by giving it the least slippage of (11.01%), the highest field efficiency of (50.
