The Link between NAFLD and Colorectal Cancer: Insights from Liver Function Enzymes and Serum Biomarkers in a Case-Control Study
...Show More Authors

Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a major killer, and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) affects almost one-quarter of the global population. The aim of the study is to Investigate the correlation between nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and an increased risk of colorectal cancer (CRC), as well as the relationship between liver function enzymes and specific serum biomarkers in CRC patients with NAFLD. Methods: A case-control study involving 60 participants was conducted from February to August 2022. The patients with colon cancer were examined at Baghdad Medical City's Al-Amal Hospital for Radiation and Nuclear Medicine and Oncology Teaching Hospital, and blood samples were taken. Thirty patients with NAFLD who had just been diagnosed with colorectal cancer (CRC) were recruited. The study included 30 healthy individuals who served as controls. Colorimetric method kits were used to determine liver function enzymes. Also, the serum biomarkers cathepsin B, Obestatin, and kininogen-1 were calculated by ELISA. The serum levels of liver function enzymes, alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) were evaluated in newly diagnosed CRC patients who suffered NAFLD and compared with healthy controls. Results: It was indicated that all tested enzymes were significantly elevated in newly diagnosed CRC patients with NAFLD. The correlation was conducted between liver function enzymes and biological markers. In the patient group, positive correlations were detected between ALT and cathepsin-B, obestatin, and kininogen-1 (r = 0.43, 0.66, and 0.52, respectively), with a significance in correlation recorded with obestatin and kininogen-1 (p = 0.007 and 0.047, respectively). AST inversely (negatively) correlated with cathepsin-B, obestatin, and kininogen-1, with no significance in control. However, in the patient group, the correlation was shifted to be positive with no significance.   In the control group, ALP positively correlated with cathepsin-B, obestatin, and kininogen-1 (r = 0.1, 0.33, and 0.57, respectively). No significant differences were recorded between ALP, cathepsin-B, and obestatin. Meanwhile, the positive correlation between ALP and kininogen-1 was significant (p = 0.026).  This study found significant liver function enzyme increases in newly diagnosed colorectal cancer (CRC) individuals with NAFLD. Selected blood biomarkers and liver function enzymes were positively correlated in CRC patients with NAFLD. These data suggest that NAFLD may raise the risk of colorectal cancer, which could inform future studies and clinical practice.

Effectiveness of Graduality, Escalation and Argumentation in Quranic Politeness Discourse “Surat Ghafir a Model” A Pragmatic Study
...Show More Authors

Theauthor addressed politeness discourse in “Surat Ghafir”. Quran texts include many rhetorical utterances which are considered pragmatic mechanismsconcerned with finding polite discourse. examining these texts allow to determine the effectiveness degree in the discourse, and to find the effect level that leads to interaction between the speaker and the listener. Graduation is considered an effect and a mechanism of discourse escalation.
The author reached a common definition of the graduation effectiveness term, due to its importance in finding polite discourse that is constructed by lingual manifestations some of which are escalation and graduation. Escalation is a mechanism to show the level of discourse graduation, it is a mea

Synthesis of new heterocyclic derivatives from 2-furyl methanethiol and study their applications
...Show More Authors

In this research, cyclic compounds derived from 2- furfural mercaptan (oxazole, triazoles) were synthesized, and their biological efficacy was measured and compared with standard drugs. Also, their effectiveness as anti-oxidant was measured and compared with ascorbic acid as a standard substance. Some of the synthesized compounds were deduced with good efficacy. © 2021 Sami Publishing Company. All rights reserved

Oral swab samples were collected from 120 children (ages between one month- 10 years) who were infected with oral thrush and 30 healthy children. The percentages of isolated yeasts and Bacteria were 66.6% and 96.6% respectively. The dominate yeast and bacteria were Candida albicans and Staphylococcus aureus with of 78.7% and 34.4% respectively. Results revealed that the highest percent of infection with oral thrush disease was 32.5% in children within the age of 1-2 months.

Experimental and Theoretical Analysis of Lead Pb2+ and Cd2+ Retention from a Single Salt Using a Hollow Fiber PES Membrane
...Show More Authors

The present work reports the performance of three types of polyethersulfone (PES) membrane in the removal of highly polluting and toxic lead Pb2+ and cadmium Cd2+ ions from a single salt. This study investigated the effect of operating variables, including pH, types of PES membrane, and feed concentration, on the separation process. The transport parameters and mass transfer coefficient (k) of the membranes were estimated using the combined film theory-solution-diffusion (CFSD), combined film theory-Spiegler-Kedem (CFSK), and combined film theory-finely-porous (CFFP) membrane transport models. Various parameters were used to estimate the enrichment factors, concentration polarization modulus, and Péclet number. The pH values signif
