Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the most common disease and cause of death globally. The aim of the study is investigation and detection of some bacterial interfering with CRC occurrence and progression. The study conducted between September 2022 till February 2023, a total of 50 specimens were collected from confirmed CRC patients. In addition, 50 stool specimens were collected from Healthy volunteers, considers as control group. Isolation and identification of bacteria in all collected specimens were done by using cultural and differential media (blood agar, macconkey agar and Pfizer agar), as well as the VITEK- 2 compact system. The bacterial species, in the specimens of control were ( Escherichia coli 50 (86.20%), Klebsiella Pneumonia 3(5.17%), Salmonella typhi 2(3.44%), Staphylococcus aureus 1(1.72%), Proteus mirabilis 1(1.72%) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa 1(1.72%), while in the specimens of CRC and polyp were (Escherichia coli 30(38.69%), Streptococcus uberis 6(7.79%), Enterobacter cloacae 4(5.19%), Proteus mirabilis 11(14.28), Streptococcus constellatus pharyneis 1(1.29%), Micrococcus luteus 1(1.29%), Staphlococcus pseudintermedius 1(1.29%), Streptococcus thoraltensis 1(1.29%), Citrobacter freundii 1(1.29%), Streptoccus mutans 1(1.29%), Enterococcus faecium 5(6.49%), Enterococcus faecalis 4(5.19%), Granulicatella elegans 1(1.29%), Enterococcus gallinarum 2(2.59%), Serratia marcescens 1(1.29%), Streptococcus sangunis 1(1.29%), Staphylococcus lentus 1(1.29%), Comamons testosteroni 1(1.29%), Morganella morganii 1(1.29%), Pseudomonas aeruginosa 1(1.29%), Klebsiella pneumonia 2(2.59%). The bacteria which has been shown to be associated and more abundance in the specimens of CRC tissues are Escherichia.coli 30(38.96%), Streptococcus uberis 6(7.79%), Enterobacter cloacae 4(5.19%), Enterococcus faecium 5(6.49%), Enterococcus faecalis 4(5.19%). Cell-line culture techniques for the five species showed a cellular viability, sequentially Streptocccus uberis (16.12%), Enterococcus faecium (16.39%), Entreococcus faecalis (9.48%), Enterobacter cloacae (15.11%) and Escherichia coli (17.61%). The results statistically studied by using SPSS, which showed excellent or (highly) significant (p-value is in the range of 0.001).
We studied at the morphology, structural setup, and optical characteristics of thin cadmium (CdSe) films a thickness of 250 nm that were created by thermal evaporation over glass, The films exhibited a hexagonal shape were crystalline, and tended to form grains in the (111) crystallographic direction, according to the X-ray diffraction examinations. These characteristics were established using the investigation's findings. Through the use of thin films of CdSe doped with Ag at a concentration of 1.5%, the crystal structure orientations for pure CdSe (25.32, 41.84) and CdSe:Ag (25.39, 41.01) that were both pure as well as those that were doped with silver were both determined. The band gap of the optical spectrum decreased by 1.93–
... Show MoreCurcumin (Cur) possesses remarkable pharmacological properties, including cardioprotective, neuroprotective, antimicrobial, and anticancer activities. However, the utilization of Cur in pharmaceuticals faces constraints owing to its inadequate water solubility and limited bioavailability. To overcome these hurdles, there has been notable focus on exploring innovative formulations, with nanobiotechnology emerging as a promising avenue to enhance the therapeutic effectiveness of these complex compounds. We report a novel safe, effective method for improving the incorporation of anticancer curcumin to induce apoptosis by reducing the expression levels of miR20a and miR21. The established
Background: Heterocyclic compounds and its derivatives have biological activities and used as analgesic, anti-helminthic, antituberculer, antifungal, antiviral, anticancer and inhibitor of some enzymes. Oxazepine (benzodiazepine) derivative used in relief of psychoneuroses characterized by anxiety and tension. Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) hydrolyzes phosphate monoesters, while Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) catalyses oxidation of L-lactate to pyruvate utilizing NAD+Objective: The study was carried out to know of the impact of 1,3-oxazepine derivative on the ALP and LDH enzyme activity on human serum in vitro.Methods: The study included the effect of synthesized 1,3-oxazepine divertive [(Z)-3-(5-mercapto-1-3,4-Thiadizol-2-yl)-2-(4-nitroph

Different studies have dealt with the etiological factors of that cancer aiming to find a way for early diagnosis and satisfactory therapy. The present study clarified the relationship between genetic polymorphisms of BRCA1 & BRCA2 genes and some etiological risk factors among breast cancer patients in Iraq. This investigation was carried out on 25 patients (all were females) who were diagnosed as breast cancer patients attended AL-Kadhemya Teaching Hospital in Baghdad and 10 apparently healthy women were used as a control, all women (patients and control) aged above 40 years. The Wizard Promega kit was used for DNA isolation from breast patients and normal individuals. B

This research consisted of 123 embedded formalin-fixed tissues obtained from the prostate tumor patients. The above gene fusion is detected through the technique of fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) by means of a triple color probe. Seven samples have not been scored due to technical difficulties and 46 patients have fusion (39.6%), while the remaining (70) have not been seen with fusion. Of the 46 fusion-positive, 17 (36%) were caused by ERG-translocation, of the other 29 (63%) were caused by the interstitial segment deletion between the two genes due to the
