Evaluating of the Synergistic Effect of three Essential Oils on the Virulence Factors (resistance gene) of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Serratia fonticola Isolated from Wounds
...Show More Authors

     Depending on the high resistance to antibiotics, five isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and 7 isolates of Serratia  fonticola were selected out of 150 bacterial isolates from burn wards in Baghdad hospitals, which were later identified by VITEK2. A susceptibility test was done by using 15 antibiotics. The results showed that all the selected isolates were resistant to antibiotics: AMP, CTX, CAZ, GEN, PIP, TIC and TMP especially, while they were sensitive to IPE. The essential oils of Aloysia citrodora (Family: Verbenaceae), Rosmarinus officinalis (Family: Lamiaceae) and Thymus vulgaris (Family: Lamiaceae) were extracted by the Clevenger. The synergistic effect of essential oils of these plants on bacterial growth were studied by determining the MIC of essential oils for P. aeruginosa and S. fonticola. The MIC concentration of P. aeruginosa was: 2500 ppm of A. citrodora, 2500 ppm of R. officinalis, 2500 ppm of T. vulgaris, whilst the synergistic effect of each two plants was:1250 ppm of A. citrodora with 2500 ppm of R. officinalis, 1250 ppm of A. citrodora with 312.5 ppm of T. vulgaris, 1250 ppm of R. officinalis with 156.25 ppm of T. vulgaris, whereas the synergistic effect of three plants was: 156.25 ppm of A. citrodora with 156.25 ppm of R. officinalis and 39.0625 ppm T. vulgaris. While the MIC concentration of S. fonticola was: 1250 ppm of A. citrodora, 5000 ppm of R. officinalis, 1250 ppm of T. vulgaris, whilst the synergistic effect of each two plants was: 1250 ppm of A. citrodora with 2500 ppm of R. officinalis, 1250 ppm of A. citrodora with 312.5 ppm of T. vulgaris, 1250 ppm of R. officinalis with 156.25 ppm of T. vulgaris, whereas the synergistic effect of three plants was: 312.5 ppm of A. citrodora with 312.5 ppm of R. officinalis and 78.125 ppm T. vulgaris. The results of bacterial gene expression showed that three isolates of P. aeruginosa had a mexB gene expression that ranged between 2.5 - 0.4 (concentration 1) and 2.8 to 0.6 (concentration 2). It increased in two isolates and decreased in one isolate. The melting point ranged between 90.91 - 91.280C compared with 89.89 to 90.330C for fbp gene. Whereas S. fonticola did not have blaKPc gene, instead it had blaTEM gene with the gene expression ranging between 2.4 - 0.1 (concentration 1) and 4.5 - 0.2 (concentration 2). The gene expression increased in two isolates and decreased in five isolates. The melting point ranged between 83.63 - 84.200C compared with 75.82 - 85.560C for gyrB gene.

e*-Extending Modules
...Show More Authors

     This paper aims to introduce the concepts of  -closed, -coclosed, and -extending modules as generalizations of the closed, coclossed, and extending modules,  respectively. We will prove some properties as when the image of the e*-closed submodule is also e*-closed and when the submodule of the e*-extending module is e*-extending. Under isomorphism, the e*-extending modules are closed. We will study the quotient of e*-closed and e*-extending, the direct sum of e*-closed, and the direct sum of e*-extending.

Our recent work displays the successful preparation of Schiff_bases that carried out between hexane-2,5-dione and 2 moles of (Z)-3-hydrazineylideneindolin-2-one forming in Schiff-bases-(L), Which in turn allowed combining with each of the next metal ions: (M2+) = Ni, Mn, Zn, Cu and Co forming complexes_ in high stability. The formation of resulting Schiff_ bases (L) is detected spectrally using LC_Mss which gave approximately matching results with theoretical incomes, 1HNMR proves the founding of doublet signal of (2H) for 2NH, FTIR indicates the occurrence of two interfered imine bands and UV-VIS mean is also indecates the formation of ligand. On the other hand, complexes-based-Schiff were characterized using the s

T-Polyform Modules
...Show More Authors

We introduce the notion of t-polyform modules. The class of t- polyform modules contains the class of polyform modules and contains the class of t-essential quasi-Dedekind.

     Many characterizations of t-polyform modules are given. Also many connections between these class of modules and other types of modules are introduced.

Classic vs. Novel Antibacterial Approaches for Eradicating Dental Biofilm as Adjunct to Periodontal Debridement: An Evidence-Based Overview
...Show More Authors

Periodontitis is a multifactorial chronic inflammatory disease that affects tooth-supporting soft/hard tissues of the dentition. The dental plaque biofilm is considered as a primary etiological factor in susceptible patients; however, other factors contribute to progression, such as diabetes and smoking. Current management utilizes mechanical biofilm removal as the gold standard of treatment. Antibacterial agents might be indicated in certain conditions as an adjunct to this mechanical approach. However, in view of the growing concern about bacterial resistance, alternative approaches have been investigated. Currently, a range of antimicrobial agents and protocols have been used in clinical management, but these remain largely non-v

Bac kground:: Multidrug resistant methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a major cause of nosocomial and community acquired infections. The glycopeptides vancomycin has been proposed as the drug of choice for treating such infections; this lead to the emergence of vancomycin intermediate sensitive S. aureus (VISA) and vancomycin resistant S.aureus (VRSA).
Objjec tt iiv es :: To identify the vancomycin resistance both phenotypically and genotypically among MRSA isolates from different hospitals and to determine the sensitivity of these isolates to different antimicrobial agents

The present study was designed to find the relation between oxidative stress and
pregnancy. The study used one hundred twenty volunteers (ninety pregnant women
and thirty non-pregnant women). Then pregnant women were divided to three
subgroups according to trimester (first trimester, second trimester and third
trimester). then, some oxidative stress factors (MDA, GSH, catalase and TAC) were

malonedialdehyied (MDA) and significant (P<0.05) decrease in Glutathione (GSH),
Catalase (CAT) and total antioxidant capacity (TAC) in pregnant women compared
with non-pregnant women group. It was concluded from this study that the

Co-small monoform modules
...Show More Authors

he concept of small monoform module was introduced by Hadi and Marhun, where a module U is called small monoform if for each non-zero submodule V of U and for every non-zero homomorphism f ∈ Hom R (V, U), implies that ker f is small submodule of V. In this paper the author dualizes this concept; she calls it co-small monoform module. Many fundamental properties of co-small monoform module are given. Partial characterization of co-small monoform module is established. Also, the author dualizes the concept of small quasi-Dedekind modules which given by Hadi and Ghawi. She show that co-small monoform is contained properly in the class of the dual of small quasi-Dedekind modules. Furthermore, some subclasses of co-small monoform are investiga

Strongly K-nonsingular Modules
...Show More Authors

       A submodule N of a module M  is said to be s-essential if it has nonzero intersection with any nonzero small submodule in M. In this article, we introduce and study a class of modules in which all its nonzero endomorphisms have non-s-essential kernels, named, strongly -nonsigular. We investigate some properties of strongly -nonsigular modules. Direct summand, direct sums and some connections of such modules are discussed.

Background : Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the most common cause of infertility in reproductive-age women , it is an important harbinger of metabolic disorders. It has been reported that hyperamylasemia can be used as marker of ovarian cancer patients . The current study was conducted to evaluate amylase activity and to estimate the correlation of this enzyme with insulin and insulin resistance in PCOS patients. Methods: This study was conducted on forty five patients with PCOS in comparison to twenty five women as control. Fasting blood sample was taken from each subject and analyzed for amylase activity , FSH,LH, Insulin , proteins, and blood sugar , meanwhile insulin resistance was determined by HOMA-IR index. Results: The result
