Antibacterial Activity of Silver nanoparticles Against Pathogenic Bacterial Isolates from Diabetic Foot Patients
...Show More Authors

     Diabetic foot is a catastrophic complication of diabetes. This study included isolation and identification of three types of bacteria that cause diabetic foot ulcers,  fifty-five isolates of Staphylococcus aureus, thirty-five isolates of Acinetobacter baumannii, and thirty isolates of Serratia marcescens. These isolates were obtained from diabetic foot patients at different private clinics in and around Baghdad and Medical City Hospital. The proportion of male patients was greater than females, and it was noted that the age group (51-68 years) was more ages affected by diabetic foot. These isolates showed high resistance to most of the antibiotics used, Staphylococcus aureus was resistant to Penicillin, Tetracycline, and Ciprofloxacin in the percentage of 100 %, 65 %, and 26 %, respectively. Acinetobacter baumannii, showed high resistance to Penicillin, at a percentage of 80%, and Ciprofloxacin at  60%. Serratia marcescens was resistant to most antibiotics that were used in this study, Tetracycline, Penicillin, Cefotaxime, and Amoxicillin in the percent of (100, 95, 91, 88,70, and 64) %, respectively. The chemical reduction method was used in this study to synthesize silver nanoparticles. The characterization of silver nanoparticles was done by Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope, and transmission electron microscope, which showed particle sizes of 24.56 to 66.2 nm, which proved that silver nanoparticles had nano size and spherical shape. The result of antibacterial activity of silver nanoparticles and silver nitrate against Staphylococcus aureus bacteria showed the highest effect of silver nitrate than other bacteria tested in this study, the diameter of the inhibition zone reached 15.66mm. Likewise for silver nanoparticles where the diameter of the inhibition zone of highest effect reached 29.33mm for Staphylococcus aureus bacteria. The test of silver nanoparticles' ability to inhibit bacterial growth produced the greatest results for Staphylococcus aureus bacteria, which were inhibited after 60 minutes. Based on these research findings, silver nanoparticles have demonstrated their efficacy in this study against isolated bacteria from diabetic feet.

Association of Erythropoietin, Adiponectin and Leptin levels with Anemia in uremic diabetic patients (Under hemodialysis):
...Show More Authors

Background: End stage renal disease in patients with diabetes mellitus has been called a medical catastrophe of worldwide dimensions .It was recognized that anemia is a complication of diabetes, particularly in patients with diabetic kidney diseases. The purpose of the present study is to determine whether erythropoietin, adiponectin, and leptin levels correlate with anemia in uremic diabetic patients (under hemodialysis).
Patients and Methods: The studied groups were comprised of (30) diabetic patients(9 patients with type1 and 21 type2 diabetes) with renal failure (group2) who had been under hemodialysis compared with (30) healthy controls (group1). Blood film was obtained in addition to blood tests inc

Background: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a world-wide chronic metabolic disorder affects relatively high percentage of population. A few information is available in diabetes on the salivary content of enzymes GOT (AST) and GPT (ALT).
Patients and methods: we studied 19 patients (NIDDM, type 2 diabetes mellitus aged 29-67 year). Colorimetric determination of salivary GPT and GOT activity was used.
Results: In the whole saliva of non-insulin-dependent (NIDDM, n=19) diabetic patients and from agecross- matched healthy subjects (n=19). Saliva concentrations of GOT (43.92=12.8U/L) in NIDDM patients were higherly significant (P< 0.001) than those observed in normal subjects (23.0± 8.84 U/L). GPT was higher

The in vitro antimicrobial activity of Thymus vulgaris,Origanum vulgare and
Rosmarinus officinalis water extracts were studied against Streptococcus mutans,
Lactobacillus acidophilus and Candida albicans isolates two of each isolate. All cold water
extracts exhibited antimicrobial activity against all tested microorganisms. The largest zone of
inhibition was obtained against Candida albicans isolates. Streptococcus mutans isolates and
one isolate of Lactobacillus acidophilus showed no effect in 300mg\ml concentration of
Thymus vulgaris extract,while the same concentration of Rosmarinus officinalis extract had

Estimation of Antibodies against Saccharomyces Cerevisiae in Patients with Indeterminate Colitis
...Show More Authors

Background: Indeterminate colitis (IC) originally referred to those 10–15% of cases of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in which there was difficulty distinguishing between ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn’s disease (CD) in the colectomy specimen and histopathology examination. However, IC is increasingly used when a definitive diagnosis of UC or CD cannot be made at colonoscopy examination, colonic biopsies or at colectomy. The diagnostic difficulties may explain the variably reported prevalence of IC. Clinically, most patients with IC evolve to a definite diagnosis of UC or CD on follow up.
Patients and methods: PATIENTS GROUP: Consisted of 80 patients with indeterminate colitis (IC), their ag
