This study includes 15 male healthy and 30 male patients diagnosed with prostate
cancer inciude (18 cases in stages I & II and 12 cases in III – stage). All the patients
were suffered from urinary tract infection ( UTI) . The mean age is (57.33± 5.02)
years range ( 45-63) years, as cases and controls Patients with prostate cancer were
treated admits an Educational Baghdad Hospital, and Central Public Health
Laboratory and Radiation and Nuclear Medicine Hospital in Baghdad, during
period 1/6/2008 to 1/12/2010 are included in this study. The markers Prostatespecific
antigen (CA PSA), Interleukins ( IL -1 , IL-2, IL-3, IL-5) and
Immunoglobulins ( IgG, IgM, IgE) are estimated by using ELISA method. The
Clean-Catch midstream urine of the patients were collected, and cultured on blood
agar and MacConky agar to isolation of the pathogenic bacteria causes and
associated with prostate cancer. The isolated bacteria were identified according to
morphological and using biochemical tests.
The aim of this study is to fined out changes in some immune markers in prostate
cancer patients and if any correlation exists between the tumor marker in patients
serum pre and post-operation, and the bacterial pathogens of the UTI and its
correlation with prostate cancer risk.
The results show , a significant difference in CAPSA levels between healthy
control and prostate cancer patients ( stages I , II , III ) pre-operation ( P> 0.05 ),
while no appear significant difference between healthy and patients post-operation ,
The comparison between prostate cancer pre and post-operation was showed a
significant difference ( t=7.042,P > 0.05 ) with positive correlation. However ,
statistical analysis shows a significant difference in interleukins ( IL–1 , IL–2 , IL
-3 , IL-5 ) between healthy and prostate cancer patients pre-operation, whereas no
significant difference between them in post-operation , only IL-5 , also is increased
significantly (P<0.05 ) and positive correlations in interleukins levels at prostate
cancer patients pre and post-operation. The results show a significant difference in
immunoglobulins (IgG, IgE, IgM ) between healthy control compared with prostate
cancer patients pre-operation, but no significant difference post-operation. By
comparing between prostate cancer pre and post-operation a significant
correlation(P>0.05) but only IgM has no correlation( r=0.149,P=0. 432) were
appeared.

The semiconductor ZnO is one of II – VI compound group, it is prepare as thin films by using chemical spray pyrolysis technique; the films are deposited onto glass substrate at 450 °C by using aqueous zinc chloride as a spray solution of molar concentration 0.1 M/L. Sample of the prepared film is irradiating by Gamma ray using CS 137, other sample is annealed at 550°C. The structure of the irradiated and annealed films are analyzed with X-ray diffraction, the results show that the films are polycrystalline in nature with preferred (002) orientation. The general morphology of ZnO films are imaged by using the Atomic Force Microscope (AFM), it constructed from nanostructure with dimensions in order of 77 nm.

The affliction is a remaining year and not a past incident, and the most evil people are the prophets - peace and blessings be upon them - and the most severe is the Imam of the Prophets Muhammad - may God bless him and grant him peace - because they are exposed to harm from their people because of their call to a religion that violates the religion of parents and grandparents, the religion of injustice and injustice And polytheism and disbelief, and therefore the Qur'an had attitudes towards the entertainment of the people of affliction in general and our beloved - peace be upon him - in particular, this research came about the entertainment of the Qur’an for the Prophet - may God bless him and grant him peace - and many areas of ente

Phylogenetic studies were conducted to settle the argument about the phenotype by studying the genotype. Genotype the promising field in advance classification by using 18S rRNA and compared to GenBank database using to search the related sequences. The determined sequences showed high a similarity to the strains registered in GenBank.

This examination in Iraqi higher education is finalised across three key stages: determining the knowledge gaps, reviewing the literature and building the hypothesised conceptual model.

Tin dioxide doped silver oxide thin films with different x content (0, 0.03, 0.05, 0.07) have been prepared by pulse laser deposition technique (PLD) at room temperatures (RT). The effect of doping concentration on the structural and electrical properties of the films were studied. Atomic Force Measurement (AFM) measurements found that the average value of grain size for all films at RT decrease with increasing of AgO content. While an average roughness values increase with increasing x content. The electrical properties of these films were studied with different x content. The D.C conductivity for all films increases with increasing x content. Also, it found that activation energies decrease with increasing of AgO content for all films.

Ceramic materials layer for ground coat have been melted down in
platinum crucible at a temperature of 1200oC to prepare the glass
mixture (Frit). It was coated on metals at a temperature of 780oC for
two minutes, while the second layer was prepared glass mixture

... Show MoreThe efficient behavior of a low-concentrating photovoltaic-thermal system with a micro-jet channel (LCPV/T-JET) and booster mirror reflector is experimentally evaluated here. Micro-jets promote the thermal management of PV solar cells by implementing jet water as active cooling, which is still in the early stages of development. The booster mirror reflector concentrates solar irradiance into solar cells and improves the thermal, electrical, and combined efficiencies of the LCPV/T-JET system. The LCPV/T-JET system was tested under ambient weather conditions in the city of Bangi, Selangor, Malaysia, and all data was recorded between 10:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. Parametric studies were conducted to compare the performance of the LCPV/T-JET system

Regarding the causes, an NMPSI injury caused by a screwdriver is rare. This study reports a case of a retained double-headed screwdriver in a 37-year-old man who sustained a stab injury to the back of the neck, leaving the patient with a C4 Brown-Sequard syndrome (BSS). We discuss the intricacies of the surgical management of such cases with a literature review.
