Expression of Protamine-1 Gene and Association with Interleukin-12 gene in Infertile Men: A Case-Control Study in Iraqi Patients

     Approximately 15% of all couples all over the world suffer from difficulty conceiving their first child. The word "infertility" is used to describe this problem.

When a couple had  regular, unprotected sexual intercourse for a year or longer, it indicates that they have been unsuccessful in their efforts to conceive.

      The current investigation aims to find out if there is a relationship between PROTAMIN-1(PRM-1) and INTERLEUKINE-12 (IL-12) gene expressions and their effect on the development of infertility. The current investigation comprised 100 teratozoospermia patients and 100 healthy fertile controls who had their semen examined. Samples were given by Al-Nahrain University's Biotechnology Research Center and the Kamal Al-Samarie IVF Hospital in Baghdad, Iraq. Determinations Reverse Transcription quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-qPCR) was employed to test the expression of the PRM gene in semen and blood samples, as well as the IL-12 gene in blood samples. And the titer of IL-12 was evaluated in the seminal plasma employing the Enzyme Linked Immune Sorband Assay (ELISA) technique. The difference between the mean threshold cycle (ΔCt) of PRM-1 and IL-12 mRNA in the infertile patient group versus the healthy control group was also statistically significant. Evaluating the means of 2 ̄ΔΔCt   revealed an important finding,  a decrease in the expression of PRM-1 mRNA in the infertile group in comparison to the control group in the two types of samples. Conversely, there was an increase in the expression of IL-12 mRNA between the two study groups. In infertile Iraqi men, the expression of the PRM-1 gene was found to be down-regulated, whereas the expression of the IL-12 gene was found to be up-regulated. Our data revealed the diagnostic value of these genes and might be considered as predictive biomarkers in infertile people with idiopathic infertility.

Vertebrate Fossils in Fatha, Injana and Mukdadiya Formations in Iraq

This study showed that the rock bed units of Fatha (M. Miocene) includes mold of fish fossils imprint on marly limestone; Injana (L. Miocene) includes large femur bone of Mastodont and large number of bone remains; and review study of Mukdadiya Formations (Pliocene) showed more than 21 mamalian species such as: Mastodont, Hipparion, Gazzella, Felidae, Bovidae, Antilopini, Caprinae, Crocodilia, and others. Those vertebrate fossils bones were deposited and preserved within rock bed units of fluvial and evaporite marine environments. Paleoenvironment of fluvial ecosystem made up of food chain, which were includes producer, herbivores as a primary consumer as Mastodon, Hipparion and Gazelle, carnivores as a secondary consumer as felidea and

Figure role in highlighting and content in the technical poster

The poster is one of the means which can be communicate with others through it, to transfer ideas that the designer want to focus on, for its importance to accomplish the poster. It’s a visual mean contact aim to submit an idea to the audience to get a clear idea, and that would be through the shapes and subject to submit the idea. Depend on that our goal in this study is to find out, what follows:1-Finding the relationship between the shape and the idea.And the study comes up with several results, like:1-The drawings that contain themes connected with what the designer want to achieve, through the clearness of idea and to make those elements clear by putting more elements to surround the main shape.2-To assure that the strong connecti

Pulmonry function test in spinning and weaving workers in Iraq

Background :The cotton factories have difference steps, spinning and weaving are van important parts of the factories. Cotton industry workers are exposed to various hazards in the different departments of textile factories. The major health problems associated with cotton dust are respiratory problems. Cotton workers display an excess of lung function abnormalities when compared to a community control population.
Aim of Study: This study assessed the effect of exposure to cotton dust in spinning and weaving workers on the lung function in Iraq, by measuring Forced Vital Capacity (FVC),Forced Expiratory Volume in the first second(FEV1), FEV1 ∕ FVC Ratio, and Forced Expiratory Flow 50%(FEF50%),with varying degree of reduction in lung

Evaluation of Cytotoxicity and Biocompatibility of Ti2AlC in Rabbits

Background: The Titanium and its alloys are suitable for dental implant and medical applications. Biocompatibility of the materials is a major factor in determining the success of the implant and has a great impact on their rate of osseointegration. The aim of this study was to evaluate the biocompatibility and cytotoxicity of Ti2AlC in comparison to CPTi & Ti6Al7Nb in rabbits. Materials and Methods: 10 male New Zealand White rabbits, weighing (2-2.5 kg), aged (10-12 months) were used in this study. Cylindrical implants were prepared from the study materials (CPTi, Ti6Al7Nb and Ti2AlC) with (8mm) height and (3mm) diameter for the evaluation of tissue response and disc specimens were prepared with (6 mm) diameter and (2 mm) thickness for ev
