The level of thyroid autoantibodies between type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus
patients in Baghdad City were investigated.
Fifty individuals (25 female and 25 male) with type-1 DM in the age group of 10
to 35 years and seventy (35 female and 35 male) of having type-2 DM in the age
group of 33 to 60 years were investigated. A control group of twenty-five nondiabetes
was included. Serum sample collected was used to estimate anti-TPO, TG
and thyroid stimulating hormone antibodies (thyroid stimulating immunoglobulin
TSI and thyrotropin binding inhibitory immunoglobulin TBII) by using enzymelinked
immunosorbent assay (ELISA) technique.
The results show that there is a significant (p< 0.05) increase in the level of
thyroid peroxidase antibody (TPO-Ab) in female patients with T1DM and T2M
compared with control non-diabetes group. Furthermore, there is no significant (p<
0.05) difference in the level of TPO-Ab and Tg-Ab in male patients with T1DM and
T2DM compared with non-diabetes group. The results of this study also demonstrate
that there is a significant (p< 0.05) increase in the level of thyroid stimulating
immunoglobulin (TSI) in male patients with T1DM compared with control nondiabetes
group. In addition, there is no significant (p< 0.05) difference in the level of
TSI in female patients with T1DM and male and female with T2DM compared with
non-diabetes group. These results also illustrate that there is significant (p< 0.05)
increase in the level of thyrotropin binding inhibitory immunoglobulin (TBII) in
female and male patients with T2DM compared with control non-diabetes group.
Furthermore, there is no significant (p< 0.05) difference in the level of TSI in
female and male patients with T1DM compared with non-diabetes group.
From this study, it concluded that the presence of antithyroid peroxidase (TPO)
antibodies is helpful in predicting the development of autoimmune thyroid disorders,
especially hypothyroidism. Subclinical hypothyroidism has a negative influence on
lipid metabolism and it is an independent risk factor for myocardial infarction.
This research work aims to the determination of molybdenum (VI) ion via the formation of peroxy molybdenum compounds which has red-brown colour with absorbance wave length at 455nm for the system of ammonia solution-hydrogen peroxide-molybdenum (VI) using a completely newly developed microphotometer based on the ON-Line measurement. Variation of responses expressed in millivolt. A correlation coefficient of 0.9925 for the range of 2.5-150 ?g.ml-1 with percentage linearity of 98.50%. A detection limit of 0.25 ?g.ml-1 was obtained. All physical and chemical variable were optimized interferences of cation and anion were studied classical method of measurement were done and compared well with newly on-line measurements.

This study aimed to study the inhibition activity of purified bacteriocin produced from the local isolation Lactococcuslactis ssp. lactis against pathogenic bacteria species isolated from clinical samples in some hospitals Baghdad city. Screening of L. lactis ssp. Lactis and isolated from the intestines fish and raw milk was performed in well diffusion method. The results showed that L. lactis ssp. lactis (Lc4) was the most efficient isolate in producing the bacteriocin as well observed inhibitory activity the increased that companied with the concentration, the concentration of the twice filtrate was better in obtaining higher inhibition diameters compared to the one-fold concentration. The concentrate
