Treatment of Striae Grvidarum as a Type of Striae Distensae Using Long Pulsed Nd:YAG Laser (1064nm) and Fractional CO2 Laser (10600nm)
...Show More Authors

Striae distensae SD or stretch mark are frequent skin lesion that cause considerable aesthetic concern. The 1064nm long pulsed Nd:YAG Laser has been used to promote an increase in dermal collagen and is known to be a Laser that has a high affinity to vascular chromphores. Also by using fractional CO2 Laser 10600nm as an effective modality in treatment of striae distensae SD. It works to stimulate fibroblast and enhance Collagen formation, which is important for newly generated skin tissue.

Objectives: This study aims to verify the efficacy of long pulsed Nd: YAG Laser (1064nm) in the treatment of immature striae distensae (SD) and the efficacy of C02 fractional Laser (10600nm) in treatment of mature striae distensae SD.

Patient and methods: Ten female patients with striae distensae (SD) in the abdomen formed during pregnancy period five of them had immature or recent type of striae were treated by long pulse Nd: YAG Laser 1064nm and the others  five patient had mature type of striae were treated by fractional Co2 Laser (10600nm). This study done in Laser medicine research clinic of institute of Laser for post graduate studies from July 2018 to the end of November 2018. The Age of patients range from 20-40 years old. The Laser parameter used for fractional Co2 Laser (10600nm) was 18 Watts power. Pulse duration 1.3ms, interval 1ms, with distance 1.1mm, the procedure was done under topical anesthesia (EMLA) and the number of sessions done were three sessions of one month interval. The parameter used for long pulse ND: YAG Laser (1064nm) was (51.J) energy in the first session and (70.J) in the second, pulse duration (30ms) frequency (2Hz) with spot size (10mm) with two weeks interval between the sessions, three sessions were used for every patient.

Results: The patient treated by fractional CO2 Laser (10600nm) had a change in the shape and texture of striae distensae SD from first session, and there was noticeable change  occurred in the second session regarding texture and color of striae that became faint. The patient  treated with long pulse Nd:YAG(1064nm) had good result from the second session in which the S.D line became faint with change in texture. With no or mild side effect of treatment, 90% of all patient are fully satisfied with treatment only 10% of patient showed partial satisfaction. 10% of patient had hyperpigmentation.

Conclusion: Striae can be treated by Laser as an effective and safe method with less side effect with good patient satisfaction by long pulse Nd: YAG Laser (1064nm) and fractional Co2 Laser (10600nm) to treat immature and mature striae respectively.

The antiviral activity of the compound chalcone (4-ethoxy-2-hydroxy-4, 6-dimethoxy-chalcone) against rubella virus in vitro
...Show More Authors

The studies on the antiviral compound chalcone in vitro in both tissue and organ culture systems against rubella virus glass that this compound relatively non toxic to the cell culture and organ culture of the concentration of 8 ug/ml or less, chalcone have significantly antiviral activity against rubella virus in tissue culture and organ culture. We find that a concentration of 0.03ug/ml or more inhibit the IOOTCID50 of rubella virus. The therapeutic index (TI) used in this study to evaluate the drug, the (TI) which is the ratio of the dose of drug which is just toxic (Maximum tolerated dose) to the dose which is just effective (Minimum effective dose). If this index is one or less it not possible to use the drug under the conditions outli

The Effect of Total Suspended Solids on the Electricity Generation in Microbial Fuel Cell Treating Actual Potato Chips Processing Wastewater
...Show More Authors

This study aimed to investigate the effect of total suspended solids (TSS) on the performance of a continuously operated dual-chamber microbial fuel cell (MFC) proceeded by primary clarifier to treat actual potato chips processing wastewater. The system was also tested in the absence of the primary clarifier and the results demonstrated a significant effect of TSS on the polarization curve of the MFC which was obtained by operating the graphite anodic electrode against Ag/AgCl reference electrode. The maximum observed power and current densities were decreased form 102.42 mW/m2 and 447.26 mA/m2 to 80.16 mW/m2 and 299.10 mA/m2, respectively due to the adverse effect of TSS. Also

The Effect of Cadmium Selenide Thin Film Thickness on Carbon Monoxide Gas Sensing Properties prepared by Plasma DC-Sputtering Technique
...Show More Authors

     Cadmium Selenide (CdSe) thin films have been deposited on a glass substrate utilizing the plasma DC-sputtering method at room temperature at different deposition time in order to achieve different films thickness, and studied its sensitivity to the  carbon monoxide CO gas which are show high response as the film thickness increases, the DC-conductivity and photoconductivity are also studied and which are increased too as the film thickness increases, that indicates the good semiconducting behavior at room  temperature and light environments.

A new compound  2-(4-methoxyphcnyl)-5-(4-aminophenyl)-1,3,4-

oxadiazole (VI) was prepared by intramol ecular condensation reaction followed  by elimination  of some simple  moieties such  as IhO  and HCI by using  POCI3 with acid hydrazide. A series of new Shiffs­

bases 2-(4-methoxyphenyl)-5-[4(4:alkoxybenzoyloxy) benzylidene amino phenyl] I,3,4-oxadia:t.ole (VII].was synthesized from treatment

of oxadiazole derivative [VI] with an appropriate  aromatic aldehyde

(IU). Struct\lfe of the resulting products have been ascertaim:d by their melting pointS, elemental analysis ( some of them) and spectral data.
